Rotation
In Korea
Moves Up
22,000 to 30,000
Coming Home Each
Month, Is Report
WASHINGTON, No". 1 —UP—
The Army disclosed Saturday thai
between 22,000 and 30,000 men are
being brought home from the Far
East every month despite reports
that lack of replacements has
stalled the rotation program.
A spokesman told the United
Press there is no bottleneck in the
rotation program except for a
"very small" number of key per-
sonnel for whom specialized re-
placements are difficult to obtain.
Even in this case, he said, these
men are retained for relatively
short periods beyond normal rota-
tion dates.
Those being brought home in-
clude men who have completed
their required periods of service
and are eligible for release and
those who are being given 30 days
home leave under the rotation
point system.
A GI needs 36 points based on
combat duty or 38 points of non-
combat activity for rotation. He
is allowed four points a month for
combat, three points for being in
a forward area, two points for ser-
vice elsewhere in Korea and one
point a month for serive in Japan.
The 22,000 to 30,000 being brought
home monthly do not cover other
•services which have rotation pro-
grams of their own.
Although there has been no de-
crease in the number of personnel
being rotated monthly, an Army
spokesman declined comment on
the outlook for early months of
1953. But other sources indicat<d
the schedule probably would be
fairly well maintained through a
stepped up draft program.
Draft calls for October, Novem-
ber and December were 47.000 for
each month. An Army spokesman
said it will be about the same for
next January, but he would not
speculate beyond that time.

There were more poll taxes paid
this year than in any previous year
and the probable strength of the
county is 7,000 plus. Outside of
Sweetwater, the law does not re-
quire exemption certificates and
consequently there is no accurate
way to arrive at the exact total of
poll taxes and exemptions.
Absentee votes are expected to
total around 500.
Election judges have asked that
vo^'is have their receipts with
them to save time. In the absence
of a poll tax receipt or e.ymption

Guarantees Against New
Red Aggression Sought
UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 1—UP
—Nationalist China sounded a new
note in the United Nations Korean
debate Saturday by warning
against any peace settlement which
does not include guarantees against
future Communist aggression.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's
government joined with Sweden
New Zealand in supporting the Al-
lied demand for voluntary repatria-
tion of Communist war prisoners,
but added that real peace in Ko-
rea involves more than an armis-
tice agreement.

//
Halloween in Sweetwater was
one big fun carnival with several
school carnivals and entertain-
ments highlighting the evening.
There were many private parties
and spooks roamed the streets at
will.
Peace officers were most indulg-
ent, overlooking many things that
might normally constitute at least
a minor infraction of the laws for
the public peace and dignity.
However, officers were on the
alert and guided the ghosts away
from activities that became a little
too rough.
Sheriff Cal Montgomery said that
it was a fairly nice evening with a
number of pranks that were not too
serious.
Police Chief J. E. McCoy said
that all In all lt was a very order-
ly night. "We had one serious com-
plaint we are investigating," he
said. "Somebody put liquid soap
on the car of Roy Plttman and also
on his brother's car. This ruined
the car's finish and was a little
beyond the limits of good fun."

Die-hard convicts surrendered in

18,000
Mile Tour
By DAYTON MOORE
ST. LOUIS, Nov. I —UP—Presi-
dent Truman topped off 18,000
miles of "give 'em holl" campaign-
ing Saturday night with a call for
the defeat of Dwight D. Eisenhower
to "get rid of McCarthyism in our
public life."
Mr. Truman charged in a speech
prepared for delivery in Kiel Audi-
torium here that the Republican
presidential candidate'a "loose and
pernicious" campaign talk has be-
gun to undermine national unity in
the fight against communism.
The President said that election
of Eisenhower would result in "the
ultimate .rony of a general who
.tood left the defense of the free
world, when he was in uniform,
presiding over the liquidation of
our foreign policy.'
Disaster to Elect Ike
Mr. Truman said it would be a
"disaster" to elect Eisenhower be-
cause he has shown "so great a
willingness to do the purely exped-
ient thing, even in matters that vi-
tally concern our national surviv-
al.'
"We cannot expect him now to
control and reshape his party to
serve our national welfare," Mr.
Truman said. "He has surrendered
his moral authority to do so."
Mr. Truman said that Eisenhow-
er, in addition to endorsing Sens.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) and
William E. Jenner (R-Ind.i "has
been using the same kind of in-
nuendo and distortion in his own
speeches," as they have in trying
people by "accusation and slander
instead of by evidence and proof."
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, the GOP
vice presidential candidate has
made "McCarthyism tactics his
stock in trade in this campaign,"
Mr. Truman charged.
Rid of McCarthyism
"W<; must get rid of McCarthy-
ism in our public life," Mr. Truman
said. "The way to do that is to
defeat the presidential candidate
who has embraced its authors, tol-
erated it, and sought to benefit by
it."
On the Korean issue, Mr. Tru-
man said, Eisenhower, "suggests
that his old friends and colleagues
in the armed services have been
delinquent in training a South Ko-
Adlai Says
Strength
Only Way
To Peace
WITH STEVENSON, Nov. 1—UP
—Gov. Adlai Stevenson Saturday
credited this country's stand in Ko-
rea with saving Burma, most of
South Asia and other areas from
communism.
The Democratic presidential can-
didate told a whistle stop crowd at
Alliance, O., that it is becoming
plainer that communism "will not!
date" to start a third war.
"The pressure is beginning to j
turn inward against the Soviet Un- j
ion," he said.
If this pressure is continued, he !
said, the chances for peace are
bright.
Can Avoid War
War can be avoided if the Krem-
lin "gets the unmistakable impres- j
sion" that the United States will |
"stand firm" all over the world, j
Stevenson said.
"We are doing the hard job that
must be done if we are to have a
secure place for ourselves and our
children," he said.
He said these sacrifices "will be
worthwhile" if "the terrible price"
of an atomic war can be avoided.
But he said he does not want
votes on "false pretenses' and
would make "no easy promises."
The only road to peace, he said,
Is the "long, hard, expensive road."

ENROUTE WITH STEVENSON,
Nov. 1—UP—Adlai E. Stevenson,
declaring that a continued "stale-
mate" in the Korean fighting was
preferable to an atomic war, turn-
ed his campaign train toward
home Saturday and a final three
days of pushing his bid for the
White House.
Stevenson, speaking to a roar-
i cheering crowd in Brooklyn
Friday night, made one of his
strongest attacks yet on the for-
eign policy statements of Dwight
D. Eisenhower, his Republican op-
ponent.
The former general, Stevenson
told the partisan gathering, rep-
resented "resurgent isolationism"
when he suggested that any war
in Asia be fought "Asians against
Asians" with America backing
the forces of freedom. Stevenson
held that such a course "reckless-
ly gambled" with American allies
abroad.
He May Lose Home State
Stevenson's aides, though con-
siderably cheered by large turn-
outs in Brooklyn, admittedly were
concerned about the candidate's
fate in his home state of Illinois.
Although Stevenson carried the
state by a 572,000 majority in his
successful 1948 race for governor,
various newspapers in the state
claim Eisenhower now is running

Polish Foreign Minister Stanislaw
Skrzeszewski, speaking lor the
Communist bloc, repeated the Red
demand for forcible repatriation of
war prisoners in Korea. He de-
nounced the South Korean govern-
ment of President Syngman Rhee
as a "fascist" regime, and ac-
cused U. S. Secretary of State
Dean Acheson of "distorting" thc
record of the Korean war.
Skrzeszewski blamed the United
States for suspending the Panmun-
jom peace talks "sine die" (with-
out date)—a charge which has been
officially denied. American officials
have started repeatedly that the
talks can be resumed whenever the
Reds have something to talk about.
The Polish foreign minister also
accused the United States of trying
to prolong the Korean war through
"delaying tactics" at thc peace
table. He said the United States
started the Korean war to further
its aims "for the enslavement of
Asia."
An American spokesman said the
Polish speech did not "open any
more doors" which could lead to a
peace settlement.

and armed guards kept a constant j
vigil over windows to the cells. |
These inmates had refused to re-j
enter cells inside the block after j
the riot was quelled early Sat-
urday.
Tear gas shells were fired to
quiet the curses of prisoners, who
were wrecking everything they
could lay their hands on. Sickened
by the gas and hunger, knots of
15 to 20 men were giving up.
Warden Ralph W. Alvis said
there was still a great deal of
"tension behind the walls," but
that It was nothing the 1,000
National Guardsmen, state highway
and patrolmen and local police on
duty could not cope with.
Gov. Frank J. Lausche credited
"Operation Prison Riot," a plan
drafted six months ago in the
wake of similar uprising in other
parts of the country, for putting
down the rebellion in some eight
hours.
Six buildings were set fire and
burned after the prisoners start-
ed the riot at 4:20 p. m. Friday. But
a reptltton of the astern Monday
fire, which took 322 lives at the In-

Forest Fires In
Missouri Raging
By UNITED PRESS
Major forest fires were under
control in most sections of the
country Saturday but a state of
emergency was declared in Mis-
souri and the situation was re-
ported critical throughout the
southwest.
Winds reaching 25 miles per hour
fanned forest and brush fires
throughout the Southwest.
In the five states worst hit by
the prolonged drouth, weather fore
casters reported no rain in sight
for Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas.,
Arkansas and Louisiana.
Fires in the five states had cov-
ered about 874,000 acres.
R. E. McArdle, chief of the U. S.
Forest Service, termed the out-
break of fires this fall the worst
in the nation's history.
In Missouri, a state of emergen-
cy was declared Friday midnight
while weary firefighters sought to
halt blazes that had covered a to-
tal of about 400.000 acres.
Gov. Forrest Smith of Missouri
called on all state agencies to en-
| force a ban on hunting, fishing
j and picnicking. He said he would
call out the National Guard if the

situation grows worse.

Eisenhower's statement was is-
sued at his campaign headquar-
ters while he was resting at his
residence at Morningside Heights
at the edge of the Columbia Uni-

the late President and now a stu-
dent at Vassar College; Kenneth
C. Royall, former Army secretary;
and Harold E. Stassen, former
governor of Minnesota and now
president of the University of Penn-
sylvania.
The 10 basic points outlined by
Eisenhower included his pledges in
behalf of racial equality, mainten-
ance of social gains and the restor-
ation of "integrity and confidence
in our national government."
He also promised to throw the full
resources of a new administration
into the battle against inflation,
saying that deliberate inflationary

Servicemen To Be
Around 500,000
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—UP—
Absentee servicemen's votes are
expected to run relatively heavy
in a few key states Tuesday but
the grand total probably won't be
more than 500.000.
An exceptional response from
the 2,525,000 uniformed men and
women of voting age might run
the absentee ballot total to 800,000.
Defense Department officials re-
port interest in the presidential
race is "very great" among serv-
ice personnel but restrictive voting
laws of 29 states will bar an esti-
mated 600,000 to one million sol-
diers, sailors, airmen and Marines
from voting.

tion laws giving an overseas GI
reasonable chance to vote, include
