Asked to Probe
Korean Rumors
(By AtttciaU* Prttt)
Lahe Success, Oct. 19 — The
UhtfckS Nations committee on Ko-
rea?. ■ investigating rumors that
the . outh Korean government is
sending representatives into North
|Korea with the aim of assuming
|authority there. Informants at
'Lake Success say the commission
has asked General MacArthur for
information on the reports.
The commission has decided
that South Korean authority shall
be confined to South Korea for
the time being — with General
MacArthur taking over North Ko-
rea until civil government is es-
tablished. The South Koreans say
they cannot accept this ruling.
The United States told the Uni-
ted Nations today that two Amer-
ican planes accidentally violated
Russia's frontier with North Ko-
rea on October 8th. Our govern-
ment has offered to pay any dam-
ages suffered by the Soviet Un-
ion. The violation is one which
Russia tried to protest to the Uni-
ted States. The State Department
refused to accept any direct pro-
tests, saying the matter should be
taken to the U-N.

Fast Passenger
Train Crash
Fatal io Two
(By A$0Ociated Prcay)
Oneida, N. Y., Oct. 19—A steel
freight car door has been blamed
for the wreck of a New York Cen-
tral passenger train this morning
in which two persons were killed.
The door is said to have fallen
in the path of the North Star
causing it to jump the tracks and
crack up at Oneida, in Central
New York State. The train’s fire-
man and locomotive engineer were
killed. At least 16 other persons
were hurt, but apparently not
seriously.
The train was traveling between
70 and 75 miles an hour when it
left the rails. It tore up all four
tracks of the Central’s main line,
causing rerouting and delays to
east and west-bound trains. These
included the 20th Century Limited
and the Ohio State Express.
Three coaches and the bagage
tar overturned. The steam loco-
motive and its tender jackknifed
and lay on either side of the
tracks, with wheels toward each
other, 200 feet ahead of the rest
of the train.
The otner cars ot the west-
bound train were derailed.
A section of steel rail pierced
the club ear.
Most of the injured were be-
lieved to have been in the second
coach, which overturned in the
middle of a main street grade
crossing in the center of Oneida.

Steel Workers
At Port Lavaca
Face Hearings
(By Aaaoriated Prtaa)
Port I^ivaca, Oct. 19—Five CIO
United Steel workers were releas-
ed from jail late yesterday in
Port Lavaca after their attorneys
made $2,000 bonds for each of
them.
The five men, awaiting Novem-
ber thirteenth grand jury action,
are charged with trying to pre-
vent people from lawfully work-
ing at the Alcoa aluminum plant.
Steel workers have been pick-
eting the aluminum plant since
October 11th. The workers claim
they have not received the wage
boosts promised them after a
strike which apparently ended
September 21.
Alcoa has denied the charge and
plant manager George Stout says
he has not been contacted by
union officials since picketing be-
gan.

London, Oct. 19 — The British

, London, Oct. 19. — Persistent
but unconfirmed reports circula-
ted today that 8ir Stafford Cripps
has quit as Britain’s economic
boss because of ill health.
Neither Prime Minister Attlee’s
office nor the treasury would
confirm or deny the rumors.
“We have nothing to say about
that,” said a spokesman for the
Prime Minister’s office.
Cripps, 61, became Chancellor
Cf the Exchequer in November,
1947, after Hugh Dalton was
forced out in a “budget leak”

Dewey Attempts
Turn Spotlight
OH Hanley
(By Ameimttd Prett)
New York, Oct 19. — New
York’s Republican Governor
Thomas Dewey says there’s noth-
ing wrong with Lieutenant Gover-
nor Joe Hanley’s admission of re-
ceiving financial assurances be-
fore agreeing to run for the Sen-
ate.
Dewey told a Newport, New
York, audience last night that the
Democrats made the same sort of
deal for the late Franklin D.
Roosevelt in 1928. That time,
said Dewey, it was the late Jacob
Raskob who underwrote $200,000
in debts for Roosevelt, so the
late President could run for gov-
ernor of New York.
Dewey introduced Roosevelt’s
name as he sought to play down
the now famous Hanley letter
which has set New York’s politi-
cal pot boiling. In the letter,
Henley wrote that before he
agreed to run for the Senate, he
had assurances he could clean up
his financial obligations within
90 days. ........._—-—-

Mystery of Plane
Crashes Cleared
(By Ataodmird Prraa)
Washington, Oct. 19—A rescu-
ed jet fighter pilot, Second-Lieu-
tenant Luther Barcus, was quoted
today as saying that his own and
two other craft flew into a body
of water in formation yesterday
due to a misjudgment of altitude.
The three planes, all F-86 fight-
ers, were flying in formation, Bar-
eus is quoted as saying, when
they crashed.
Barcus explained that his plane
bounced from the water while the
other two went under. He manag-
ed to land his plane in a farm field
and escaped with a fractured leg.
The crash of the three planes
yesterday had been a mystery un-
til the Air Force made public the
Barcus statement. The Air Force
says it has also located a witness
who saw the planes go into the
water.
Censors Butcher
News Dispatches
In Indo-China
(By Aitoeiated Prett)
Saigon, Indochina, Oct. 19—
French military censorship and
denial of accurate information are
preventing foreign correspondents
from cabling factual, comprehen-
sive accounts of the serious re-
verses being suffered by the
French army in North Indochina.
Miltary authorities are refus-
ing to furnish war correspondents
with facilities normally accorded
them. French army censors make
deletions in dispatches without ad-
vising the sender. Correspondents
have been advised by their home
offices that some messages are ar-
riving after delays of up to 72
hours, so badly cut as to be unin-
telligible.
Dispatches have been censored
or subjected to long delays for
reasons other than what U ordi-
narily considered military securi-
ty. Messages have been tampered
with on political questions affect-
ing the French army.
These censorship practices are
in direct contravention of assur-
ances given newsmen by the of-
fice of the- French high commis-
sioner for Indochina. Correspon-
dents were told dispatches would
pass through censorship quickly,
only at one station and touch only
on matters affecting military se-
curity.

Tokyo, Oct. 19.—United Nations troops havq seized
the heart of Red Pyongyang, and the North Korean capi-
tal is expected to fall to them in a matter of hours. The
Allies drove into the city in two columns—from the south
and east—and advanced quickly against enemy opposi-
tion that was less than half-hearted.

Only One Dead
.. (By Aitocmted Peru) .
-Tokyo, Oct. Iff — American
and South Korean troops are put-
ting the crusher on the big Red
Korean capital—Pyongyang.
The battle for the Communist
city is as fierce as had been ex-
pected, but the city’s complete
conquest seems only a brief mat-
ter of time.
With clockwork precision, a
powerful allied pincers was
clamped on Pyongyang today.
American G;I’s of the First Cav-
alry Division blasted their way
into the City from the South. They
were the first to enter the Red
capital. But in swift order, South
Korean soldiers moved in from
the East.
The two U-N columns have
linked up to occupy the east half
of the enemy capital. They’re
driving now against the city’s
center.
Bitter resistance was expected
from Red defenders of Pyongyang.
But A-P War Correspondents with
the allied forces say the present
fighting does not compare to that
for Seoul.
Correspondent Don Whitehead
saya:
"This was an easy conquest. . .
either the Communists had lost
their will to fight for Pyongyang
. . . or the Americans moved so
fast -the Reds had no chance to
group a defense force.”
Thousand* Surrender
Thousands of frightened Reds
have surrendered — even before
the full collapse of Communist re-
sistance.
Inside Pyongyang, the Taedong
River cuts the city in two major
sectors, and U-N soldiers now are
pouring in strength across a
bridge the Reds failed to destroy.
Two bridges were dynamited by
the retreating enemy, but' some-
thing went amiss and the third
span was left intact.
Americans striking deeper into
the Red capital found banners
strung across streets. They de-
manded of the people: “Defend
this city to the last.” But the de-
mand fell on unhearing ears.
The honor of being the first
outfit to drive into Pyongyang
proper goes to the Second Batal-
ion of the First Cavalry’s Fifth
Regiment It was led into the Red
capital hy Lieutenant Colonel
Paul Clifford of Franklin, New
Hampshire.
ICuaa-up Continue*
The link-up of American and
South Korean forces was herald-
ed with Brief ceremony. There
was a shaking of hands between
commanding officers. Then the
Icanup drive was continued.
Somehow North Korean artil-
lery has disappeared. A-P Cor-
respondent Jack McBeth says the
Reds artillery was conspicuous in
its absence.
Apparently the last major Red
resistance was along a ridge to
the South of Pyongyang — along
a river at Hukkyo. The enemy
fought all day yesterday and last
night to hold out. But the Reds
crumpled when tank-led units of
the First Division crashed through.
Five Red tanks were knocked
out, arid the alliet# surged on.
Shed Clothe*
Correspondent Whitehead paid
the final drive across open plain
country into Pyongyang disclosed
enemy dead lining the roads.
North Korean soldiers who had
moved too slowly to escape were
slumped dead in ditches, fields
and haystacks.
Apparently the Reds had ex-
pected to fight on during the win-
ter. Whitehead said the G-I’s over-
ran shattered enemy columns of
supplies in oxcarts. The carts car-
ried overcoats, blankets and other
odds and ends necessary in cold
weather fighting.
As the Americans reached the
city limits, enemy soldiers came
streaming down the road to sur-
render. They had shed their uni-
forms — were clad only in long
underwear.

About Burglary
(By A ito,'it ted Prttt)
Washington, Oct 19—The na-
tion’s defense progfhm may have
a crippling effect on construction
of some amusement spots. Despite
strong objections from the build-
ing industry, the government is
considering an emergency ban on
the construction of race tracks,
dance halls, bowling alleys, and
similar recreation spots. Officials
of the National Production Auth-
ority said in Washington that the
scope of the proposed order re-
mains to be worked out.
Leaders of the building industry
are objecting vigorously to the
idea. They are urging instead that
the industry be permitted to un-
dertake its own conservation cam-
paign.
But NPA Administrator William
Harrison warns that new limita-
tions on construction will be nec-
essary. And he says the feeling
la growing that it’a unfair to cur-,
tail the building of homes while
construction of race tracks and
dance places can continue.
