About 1,500 Chinese troops charged through- driving rain be- hind a thunderous artillery aud | mortar barrage in the second day of heavy attacks on rugged Outpost Harry. They were thrown back by | fresh U. S. reinforcements after cutting off the outpest, the Eighth | Army said. The Army estimated that 500 Chinese were killed and another 1,000 wounded by U. S. 3rd Division troops in futile attempts to grab the strategic height 10 miles north- east of Chorwon. Heavy fighting was reported in the 3,000-foot mountains of the East-Central Front where two Chi- nese regiments cracked through main line positions Wednesday. A Chinese force of about 1,500 Men charged through the ROKs and moved along a curving ridge- line to the southwest. Rok counter- attacks pinched from both sides and the Reds were apparently stopped. But sketchy reports from the front indicated a nasty fight was still in progress Friday morning. Thunder storms and heavy weather grounded most aircraft during the night but a handful of radar directed strikes were flown against scattered troops and supply points. The Eighth Army reported heavy artillery duels at embattled Out- post Harry. The 3rd Division reported nearly 15,000 rounds of Red explosives fell in its séctor during the early morn- ing battle.

But they found whiskey on the tables and some of the hotel patrons were drinking. United States Denies Charge Of South Korea PHILADELPHIA (—A charge that the Republic of Korea had been threatened with a United Nations economic embargo to force acceptance of the proposed truce terms cast its shadow all the way speedy diplomatic denials. The charge was made yesterday by South Korea’s Ambassador to the U. S., Dr. You Chan Yang, during a press conference following the dedication of a blood donor center here, The 56-year-old physician-ambas- sador said “certain U. N. officials” —he declined to give any names— had made an oral threat that the U. N. might force the U. S. to cut off economic and military aid to South Korea if that country re- fused to join in the truce expected at any moment. That statement brought a quick, bristling reaction from U: S. cir- cles. A State Department spokes- man commented: “Any implication that the United |States uses famine and human | suffering for political purposes is false, and those who make such statements know that it is false.” The headquarters of Gen. Mark Clark in Tokyo pointed to a pre- j vious denial of a. similar report and a U. N. Command spokesman in the Japanese capital declined any comment whatever. Dr. Yang’s fellow diplomat— | South Korea’s U. N. representa- | tive, Col. Ben C. Limb—expressed | astonishment at the accusation and said he knew of no such attempt at international bullying. Dr. Yang specifically denied that he meant any threat had been made by the U. S. However, the situation spoke for itself. The United States, since the start of the Korean War, has been far and away the dominant power in the U. N. Command. And the We S. has directed the truce nego- ‘ions at Panmunjom, with Pres- ‘dane Eisenhower taking the lead in trying to persuade South Korea to accept the truce terms, Dr. Yang said he felt other U. N. members were pressuring the U. S. into its present policy in Korea, but he hastened to add that he did not believe such tactics would cause the U. S. to order a cutoff of food and other economic supplies to his homeland. The U. S, State Department spokesman’s choice of words in issuing a denial was significant— “Any implication that the United States uses famine and human suffering, ete,” The denial did not touch on the charge of a threat- ened military embargo. It has been generally accepted that the U, S.—and other U. N. nations—would cut eff the flow of guns and other weapons to South Korea in the event that nation cintinues to fight after the truce has been signed, The threat of such Friday, June 12, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Republican Leader Abducted In Chicago Hoodlum Section NO TRACE OF ABDUCTORS AS POLICE PRC3E FOR MOTIVE CHICAGO, June 12 ™ — Clem Graver, a Republican state legis- lator and Ward committeeman from Chicago’s so-called hoodlum- dominated West Side Bloc, was ab- ducted by three men near his home last night and several hours later police had no trace of him. Five persons, including Graver’s wife, Amelia, 51, witnessed the ab- duction of the 53-year-old real es- tate and insurance broker. Police said the witnesses gave varying details but all agreed three men followed Graver in a car as he drove his auto into his garage about 10 p. m. (EST). Graver was seized as he came from the garage—about a half bloack from his home. He strug- gled with his abductors but they forced him into their car and drove away. On his way to his garage, Grav- er had passed his home and waved to his wife who was standing on the front porch with a friend, Wal- ter Pikelis, 52, a precinct captain in Graver’s Ward, the 2ist. Police Capt. Eugene McNally of the Maxwell Street Station said he did not know whether Graver’s ab- duction was connected with poli- tics. Graver, in Republican politics on the West Side for 30 years, has been a state representative from the 15th District since 1950. The 21st Ward is among the eight west of the dowtnown district making ‘up the West Side Bloc. State rép- resentatives of both parties for many years have been elected from the districts with little or no opposition from either party. Violence often has erupted in the wards. State Rep. William J. Gran- ata, for many years a rival with former Rep, James Adduci for GOP leadership of the 27th Ward, was murdered with an axe on Oct. 8, 1948. His assassins were not captured. On Feb. 6, 1952, Charles Gross, 58, a foe of the so-called hoodlum element seeking aomination of some city wards, was slain in gangland style. Gross, acting GOP committeeman of the 3ist Ward, on the fringe of the bloc, was slain in a hail of shotgun slugs fired from an automobile. Police said it was a case of well-planned mur- der, carried out by experts. Pikelis, a mutuel clerk at a race track, told police he believed the men who abducted Graver were robbers and reported it that. way Two New Atomic Weapons In Use WASHINGTON — The Army now has two new weapons for atomic firepower on the battlefield —a pencil:shaped guided missile called “Corporal” as well as the giant 280-millimeter eannon. It was learned yesterday that courses have been set up to train men in’ electronic guitlance and fire control system maintenance for the Corporal, under. develop- ment for six years. Crews to maintain the Corporal andthe Army’s anti-aircraft guided missile “(Nike’—are being trained at the Ft. Bliss, Tex., Mis- sile Center. The Corporal is ahout 50 feet long and three feet around. It can} carry a conventional or atomic warhead up to a range of perhaps 100 miles, compared with the max- | imum accurate artillery range of about 20 miles. The 280-millimeter cannon fired an atomic shell in a test last month. Independent Swedish settlements in what is now the the United Stat- | es were founded in 1638, taken over by the Dutch in 1655 and by. the British 10 years iater. to police. He said as far as he knew Graver had no enemies. Two sisters, Joan Zelenka, 22, and Shirley, 14, told police they were near the garage when two men, about 35 years old, entered and grappled with Graver. One of the men, they said, returned to their car while the other dragged Graver out of the garage. Then the first man got out of the car again and helped snove Graver in- to their auto, Miss Lillian Kilusr, 30, also a witness to the abduction, said a third man ‘remained in the car while two other men seized Graver and forced him into the auto.
