The junket was the 7th of the Orange Bowl Committee. Though it was Dutch treat for all the lead- ers they got lots of excitement for their money. Not only did they see the Tulane vs. Ole Mississippi game and the Louisiana State University vs. Georgia, but they dined and wined on the luxurious special train and toured eld New Orleans, arriving in Miami Monday morning at 8 a.m, Judge Lopez had to rush right from the train to a hearing he held in Miami Monday morning. From the hearing he had to fly back to Key West in time for the selection and convening of the’ present ses- sion of the Monroe County Grand dary.

Profits Are Up , For This Year By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#—Profits are on the upgrade again—if the first companies to report prove typical. The first 45 corporations to an- nounce their net earnings after taxes for the July, August and September quarter show: 1, Profits of 29 running ahead of the same period of 1951 16 making less. 2. The 45 having combined prof- its 15.4 per cent higher than in the third quarter last year—$189,- 493,431 this summer,’ against $164,- 186,179 a year ago. These early comers are but a handful of the hundreds yet to re- port and contain only two of the industrial giants. Thus they are far from conclusive evidence of a trend. Also, they may prove to be heavily weighted by a few compa- nies who made striking gains this summer. But they make cheerful read- ing for stockholders when com- pared with the profit trend earlier this year. _ Im the April, May and June quar- ter much more complete reports showed U. S. corporate earnings running 13 per cent behind the 3951 second quarter. In the first three months of this year corporate profits after taxes | ran around 9 per cent behind the 1951 first quarter, Stockholders have another cause for cheer, In spite of lower earn- fags during the first half of this year, directors of many corpora- | tions maintained or raised dividend Bates.

Year- end extra dividends may not be @s generous as formerly, but many ebservers feel that total dividend Banish Communists From Federal Government |Current Series Because Of Differences With His Sponso By JACK BELL WITH STEVENSON IN INDI- ANA (®—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson declared today that “the quackery of medicine men who claim to cure the disease with words of hate and loud accusations” eannot banish communism from America. The Democratic presidential can- didate swung into Indiana on his campaign eastward, with a blast at Republicans who have accused him of “coddling communism.” In a speech prepared for delivery on the University of Notre Dame campus, the Illinois governor said these same Republicans were among those who voted against “almost every proposal of the Democratic administration to de- stroy communism by pulling out —in America and the free world— the roots of poverty and ignorance and insecurity from which it grows.” Although he did not name them it was obvious that he meant Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin and Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Cali- fornia, the GOP vice presidential nominee. Stevenson carried along on his whistle-stopping tour a fresh en- dorsement from Sen. Richard Rus- sell of Georgia, one of the candi- dates he defeated for the party presidential nomination in Chicago last July. Russell’s praise of the nominee yesterday was calculated to offset in part in the South the previous announcement of Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia that he could not support the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket, Stevenson said in a statement he was encouraged by Russell’s pre- diction of a Democratic victory, adding that he takes ‘‘even greater personal satisfaction from his gen- Soviets Tell People U.S. Is Against Reds WASHINGTON # — Moscow is telling the Russian people to ex- pect the worst no matter who wins the American election. The word is that either Eisenhower or Ste- venson is sure to win and to a Communist one is just about as bad as the other. This has been the Soviet line all along, that both major parties and their candidates “‘obey the will of American multimillionaires.” A Soviet domestic radio broadcast, reported today by U. S. govern- ment monitors, brought the Rus- sians up to date on the election campaign. It was a commentary by Valentin Zorin, Moscow's nom- inee for expert on American af- fairs. The U. §. elections, said Zorin, “resemble a race in which all horses come out of the same stable, the owner of which will win regard- less of which horse comes in first.” “In fact,” he added, “whichever of the two bourgeois parties wins the election, their master, big cap- ital, will win. “Furthermore, election skirmish- es between the two parties are be- ing used by propaganda to deflect the attention of the masses from vital problems of present-day America and to conceal the bar- gain struck by the two parties on the main problems.” Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Russians were told, is a millionaire who is backed by big Chicago banks and has connections with “such large New York concerns !as Standard Oil, Aluminum Com- |pany of America, and others.” By nominating him, Zorin quoted the New York Daily Worker as explaining, the Democratic leaders tions” about the Truman admin- istration. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, according to Zorin, advanced slow- ly in his military career until after he became aide to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Later on, Zorin said, “Bisenbower became president of Columbia University, which he strove to convert into a barracks, declaring that the U. S. needs not scientists but hefty young fellows wearing a uniform and serving the guns.” The climax of Zorin's analysis was a report on the Progressive party, which he said was sup- were able to avoid “awkward ques- | erous estimate of my capabilities to provide successful leadership.” In his Notre Dame speech, Stev- enson praised what he called the | foresight of the Roman Catholic church in opposing communism. “Your church leaders have ap- proached this disease, communism, not with a politician’s bombast, but with the care and method of a doc- tor,” he said, adding: “The effectiveness of anti-com- munism is measured not in words but in deeds—deeds of courage when the force of communism must be met by force deeds of patience and sacrifice when Com- munist strength must be met by strength controlled by restraint deeds of charity and generosity when the roots of communism may be best attacked by establishing social justice.” “He said the record of the Demo- cratic party parallels that of the Catholic church and other faiths in the drive for social justice. He added that he believes most Repub- licans have the same objective. “But I do say that it seems to me high time that the leaders of the Republican party—or at least one wing of it—start realizing that their opposition to the programs of social justice in America is opposi- tion to the building of our strongest defenses against communism,” he said. He said such opposition has been expressed in votes against the Marshall Plan and foreign aid pro- gram, against the Point Four pro- gram and other measures. The Illinois governor left Chicago this morning after an overnight stop. He left Springfield, Ill., yes- terday on a 4,221-mile whistlestop tour which will take him into 12 Midwest and Eastern states in the next two weeks. He told the nation in a television South Koreans Capture Hill By STAN CARTER SEOUL # — South Korean sol- diers, scorning a deadly rain of Communist mortar shells, recap- tured the bloody crest of Sniper Ridge today in a fierce battle with Chinese Reds. They battled back to the top of the Central Front hill nine hours after being chased off by about 1,500 Chinese. The Reds seized the peak just after daybreak. At 8 a.m. they attacked the remnants of the South Korean defenders dug if on the south slope. The South Koreans held, and at 9 a.m. began their counterattack. For more than six hours they battled slowly up the muddy, shell- searred slopes. The Reds pounded them with shattering barrages of mortar and artillery fire, but still they inched forward. Then, in a final charge, the ROK troops poured over the top and drove the Chinese back with show- ers of hand grenades. AP correspondent John Ran- dolph reported from the front that the South Koreans secured the high ground at 2:25 p.m. They dug in hurriedly and awaited new Red attacks. They also faced another night of drenching rain. Little action was reported else- where along the 155-mile battle- front. Allied warplanes, hampered by clouds, fog and rain, made com- paratively few strikes against Red front lines, In Washington, the Navy an- nounced that two hits from a Red shore battery killed seven men and wounded one aboard the destroyer- escort Lewis Oct. 14. The Lewis was covering two South Korean mine sweepers operating off the East Coast of North Korea, |McCARTHY SCORES |STRIKING MINERS OAK HILL, W.Va. # — “The | first strike ever called by the gov- | and radio talk last night from Chi- eago that the solution of the world’s ills will not be found “in an international give-away pro- gram.” He said that international trade, on a two-way street basis, may be the way to offset the poverty, ignorance and political instability he said is threatening world peace. “We cannot go on indefinitely exporting dollars abroad,” he de- clared To meet the threat of Russian communism, he said, “‘we can keep our heads and our tempers and we can calmly consider what courses are open to us.” Observing that “war provides no answer,” he added: “What we face, my friends, is revolution, and you cannot stop rebellious ideas with bayonets. You ean only stop ideas with better ideas.” Turning to domestic problems, he said the Democrats had point- ed the way toward American pros- perity. On the other hand, he said, “the Republican Old Guard was the power for decades, but either it did not do the job or it had no faith in the American future. “We Democrats always had the faith, but it was only these last few years that we had the power,” he said. “we do not believe that we must have depressions any more than we must have small- pox. We prevent smallpox and we can prevent the economic miseries that are even more destructive.” Stevenson later told the New York Herald Tribune Forum, by television and radio, that ‘“‘econom- fie reactionaries” and ‘hate and fear mongers” could dull the sheen of American democracy, so far as the rest of the world is concerned. Travel Man Says Next Year Will Be Greatest Ever MIAMI (#—Next year will be @ great travel year, according to Laurence C. Tombs, Mortreal, Canada, new president of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), He told the World Travel Con- gress of the ASTA Tuesday that coronation of Queen Elizabeth in London on June 2, 1953, will high- light a year in which “all nations, particularly those of Europe, will benefit.” Tombs said considerable travel to the United States can be ex- pected from Switzerland and Bel- gium and that Canada’s 14 million inhabitants will help make 1953 a good travel year, Religious pilgrimages made 1950 the greatest previous year for travel, Tombs reported. He pledged to concentrate on break- ing down travel barriers between nations of the world while he was in office. James T..Turbayne, British Travel Association, New York City, predicted Queen Elizabeth’s coro- nation will stimulate travel from all parts of the world. He said there will be adequate accommodations to house all per- sons from the United States at- tending the coronation and that Te will be no food restrictions.

He had received a request from his spon- sor to again present his show on a live basis. Since the beginning of the fall season, the Skelton show has been on film, and the quality of the shows has been rapped by request: “He can either have a live comedian on a filmed show or a dead comedian on a live show.” He was referring to his exper- ience on last year’s program, his first season in the new medium. The comic was on the border of complete collapse. on film,” remarked his business manager, “he can at least go home and sleep after a performnce. Last year he'd finish a show and we’d take him to St.John’s Hospital. When he came off stage, we'd put him on a couch and. place an ox- ygen mask over his face. “Red’s show on film is getting better all the time. He just needs some time to get it into shape.” His TV director, Marty Rackin, pointed out the strenuous nature of the Skelton program: ‘Other comedians can introduce other acts and stay offstage .for five or 10 minutes. But not Red. he’s on stage nearly the whole half-hour. People expect it of him. “Why, on the live show we had costume changes that had to be done in 42 seconds. We'd have men waiting offstage with shoes a breakaway shirt and so forth. much for one man to go through.” His advisers added that the filmed show is handicapped by the lack of music. Because the filmed version is more expensive, there was no budget left for an orches- tra. That has eliminated a variety of routines that require music. Skelton himself remarked that the film version is just as hard as live in some respects. ‘The im- portant thing is building up the studio audience to-a peak,” he said. “On the live show, I could do it in the half-hour. But when I take time out for a costume change now, I have to work hard to get the audience back up to the point where I left.” He was on the set of his new picture, “The Clown,” and he pointed out that it parallels his present situation.

R. (Bud) Darlington Jr., Wash- ington. He told the closing session of the Florida Automobile Dealers Asso- ciation Tuesday that: “Car dealers, by stressing safe- ty features and the need for checks on the safe condition of automo- biles can increase the revenue from “their service departments, they can cut the toll of 37,300 dead and they can pave the way for faster selling of new cars.” He urged expansion of the high school driving instruction program and similar instruction for adults. H. Wayman Parker, Jackson- ville, said the “strongest desire of man is to live one day more and return from his automobile trip alive.” Parker also favored changing the selling argument from speed and color to safety features. He urged dealers to make sure the prospective buyer really under- stood just what was being done to protect his life. Carbon black, a widely used in- dustrial material, is soot.
