Jab Made
Into Iron
Triangle
Allied Armored Columns
Shoot Up Everything in
Sight; Knockdown Fight
U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD
QUARTERS, Korea, Saturday—Itfl—
Allied armored columns jabbed into
the north corner of the old Com
munist iron triangle in central Kor
ea Friday, shot up everything in
sight and then withdrew for the
night.
It was perhaps the heaviest armor
ed thrust of the Korean war. In
fantrymen followed the tanks into
action.
Elements of three allied divisions
smashed northward within a short
distance of Pyonggang, Apex of the
triangluar area used last spring as
a massive build-up area by the
Chinese and Korean Reds.
One tank - infantry column
reached north of Chorwon, the
southwestern corner of the tri
angle, at dawn and met only light
resistance from Reds lining the
hills
A second armored column met bit
ter opposition north of Kumhwa
after poking northward only a mile.
What appeared the toughest re
sistance in the day’s action was met
by the third tank-tipped column
northeast of Kumhwa. The column
ran into a hail of anti-tank fire near
a town and a “knockdown dragout
battle ensued.
On the hitherto flaming eastern
front, the five-week^-old “battle
of the hills”1 ebbed to sporadic clash
es.

TheWashingion
Merry - Go - Round
By DREW PEARSON
TFaSHINGTON.—It was never
meant to be published, but Gen. J.
Lawton Collifts, the Army Chief of
Staff, has written a private letter
to the spokesman for the 88 dis
charged West Point cadets. In it
he made the strange statement that
while they were not .good enough to
be West Point officers they were
stiU good enough to be Army offi
cers.
“I will say for the Army that your
separation from West Point in it
self will not be grounds for dis
barment from the reserve officers’
training corps, officer' candidate
schools, or other similar programs
under army jurisdiction,” General
Collins wrote to the discharged
cadets through their spokesman,
Herbert Johnson.
In other words, the army’s mil
itary boss officially recognises what
reserve officers have so bitterly
criticized, that the West Point clique
is a separate and superior caste. In
contrast, General Marshall, who re
tired last week, was not a West
Pointer, while many civilian univer
sities which turn out reserve offi
cers maintain the highest ethical
and academic standards.
General Collins’ letter, explaining
his policy, stated: “The frank ad
mission of guilt and wholesome spir
it of repentance which I find . . .
confirm my first impression that

Truce Talk
Resumption .
Up in Air
TOKYO. Sept. 21—(«—Oen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway withheld his ans
wer today to a Communist proposal
to resume the Korean truce talks
at Kaesong.
But while the move to resume
armistice talks hung fire, allied
armor roared out loudly across the
Korean battlefront.
United Nations tanks and infantry
thrust into the former Communist
iron triangle buildup area on the
central front.
The battle of words over how to
get the wheel of peace revolving
again was as muted as the United
Nations’ limited offensive action
was loud.
Even Red China’s Peiping radio—
the Communist sounding board that
pours out tens of thousands of words
each day in anti-United Nations
command propaganda—was notably
silent.
There was only a dribble of hash
ed-over complaints of Kaesong nu
trality violations where torrents us

Lithofold Head
Tells Senators He
Employed Boyle
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21— UP) —
Robert J. Blauner, president of the
American Lithofold Corp., testified
today that he hired William
Boyle, Jr., at $500 a month because
he expected “some things might de
velop.”
Blauner told the Senate investiga
tions subcommittee that as it turned
out “really nothing of any great
moment developed" that required
the services of Boyle, now Demo
cratic National Chairman.
The Senators have recel’-ert pre
vious testimony that Boyle received
a total of $1,250 from February to
April, 1949. Boyle himself has said
this was for legal work. #
At the time Boyle was the unpaid
executive vice chairman of the Na
tional Democratic committee.
Boyle was put on a salaried basis
with the Democratic committee in
April, and Blauner said that Cecil
Green, Washington representative
of the firm, advised him Boyle no
longer would serve as counsel.
Blauner said Green recommended
that Max Siskind, Boyle’s law part
ner, succeed him. .

is still representing a private com
pany before the RFCr
Williams, who previously had ac
cused Democratic Chairman William
M. Boyle, Jr„ of taking fees to help
another firm get government loans,
said in a floor speech.
“I do not believe that any man
who holds the'position of Chairman
or Vice Chairman of a political com
mittee has any right to represent
private companies in a government
loan.” ^
The Republican Senator said Gab
rielson had contacted W. Stuart
Symington, RFC administrator,
about the loans.
The matter arose on the Senate
^loor after the Senate investigations
subcommittee heard testimony that
Boyle, Presidential Secretary Mat
thew J. Connelly and other govern
ment officials had received $90 cam
eras as “good will” gifts from a St.
Louis printing firm.

crew sent to investigate a reported
plane wreckage was sighted on a

the report with James A. Carey,

wreckage.

the plane reportedly was spotted
was low on the normal Anchorage
Seward atrlane. He said the wreck
age should have been seen by pilots
flying the route.
"However, there still- is a possibil
ity there is wreckage of a plane,”
Swan said. "It would be covered by
underbrush not easily spotted from
the air. The trail crew will go up
to investigate.”

their Fenway Park “jinx” today and
whipped the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 1,

in the clutch, won his 16th game. His
mates backed his hurling with a
nine-hit attack.
The Yanks, shooting for a third
straight pennant, scored one run
off loser Leo Kiely in the first in

By Fire
FORKS, Wash. Sept. 21—OR—'Thl:
fire-encircled logging town survivet
a night with the doomed.
Dogged fire fighters and a '‘provi
dential" shift in the wind brought
It through last night after authorit

lost late yesterday. The forest fire
veered off after consuming most
of one residential corner of the
town. Nearly a score of buildings
were burned.
Evacuees of the town of 1,120 be
gan returning to their homes in
smoky haze this morning. An esti
mated 85 percent 'of the populace

order in mid-afternoon yesterday.

yesterday was fanned from one

it raced southwestward 18 miles in

Forks Is midway between thi
Olympic National Park and the Pac
ific Ocean, about a dozen miles from
the seashore.
The fire did not head westward
of an east wind until It had seared
off a two to three block strip on the

teen buildings were consumed by
flames, including two sawmills, twt
big logging truck garages and ID
residences.

wind shifted, providentially, yot
might say.” /
