Author John Erskine Dies This Morning Author, Educator Is Taken By Death New York. June 2. — (UP)—Auth* or and educator John Efskine, 71; died of a heart attack early today at his Park avenue home. Erskine, whose best known novel w’as “The Private Life of Helen of Troy,” had been ill with high blood pressure since he collapsed cn the street while taking an ; evening stroll almost two years ago. ( His second wife,' Mrs. Helen Worsen Erskine whom he married In 1945, was at his bedside when he died. “Mr. Erskine had beeh sick for some, time," she said ip announc ing his death. ‘He died quietly.” Erskine, born in York City Oct. 5, 1879, first attained success as an educator, teaching at Amherst and then at. Columbia where at his insistence the university established a two-year sequence of courses based on the 50 great hooks of the western world. Then in 1925, at the age of 46, he startled the literary Mrorld with, bis novel on the life of Helen of Troyj he became a national sensation. He was hailed as an example of the sqhool of thinking that “life begins jat 40.” After his first success as a novelist he kept on writjng steadily, turning out more than 30 fic-' tion and non-fiction works. In a magazine interview, Erskine once explained his theory of life becoming more vital in middle-age by saying: “Only tn middle life can we be daring. Only when we are well rooted in life can we brandy out and \grow. And since few people plupge their roots deeply in life before they are 40, it is only then that our emotional and productive powers begin \to take on thef rich color of maturity. Nat until we are well into middle age does happiness assume its truest form, inciting men and women: to enter upon the full promise\of life.” .P ’ ■~~: :/ ■ v|: j ALLIED (Coattuned From Pure Oae) at his headquarters in Korea that the Bth army’s “pursuit phase” of thb war had ended with the clear* ing of all, Communist troops from South? Korea except thofce on the far western flank. His remarks clearly indicated that the Sth army will go on the defensive with the main objective of preventing a new Commubist thrust across the 38th parallel into South KoreaVan Fleet reported that: Reds had lost well bvei* 100,000 men in dead, wounded and captured in the abortive second round of their, spring offensive, and subsequent Bth army counter-offensive. >. ; . , | Another 70*000 to 80*000 Reds wtere killed, wounded or captured in the first phase of the enemy offensive in April, hp said. Sojne' enemy units lost 80 to 90 percent of their effectives, he said. "The Chinese army in Korea hasn’t a chance,” he saiid. “We can whi|) the Chinese army any time or placq . . . the best thing it can do is go back home.” But, he conceded, “the enemy is not exhausted since his known reserves in forward areas are sufficient for still another round.” Pennsylvania has 211 state forest areas covering a total of more than million acres. ii.

Judith Coplin Will Keep Up Court Fight Conviction Upheld By Appeals Court June 2 (UP) — Former government girl Judith Copldn, twice convicted of espionage; hoped today for . indefinite postponement of Iler jail sentences by supreme court action and possibly a new trial.; . The District of Columbia court of appeals yesterday affirmed the Washington conviction of the 29-year-old brunette. But the bourt left the way clear soy a new trial if it can be shown that government agents tapped telephone conversations between Miss Coplon ‘and .her attorney. Several months ago, the second U. Sj circuit court of appeals in New York reversed the convictions there of Miss Copion and Russian engineer Valentin A. Gubiljchev. The government’s appeal of this ruling has been filed in the supreme court for several months without action. The New York appeals court based Its reversal on grounds that Miss Ooplon was arrested improperly a warrant and that wiretapping may have been used as tfre.ljasis for some oftthe evidence introduced agAinst her. The appeals here brushed aside these findings in a completely contrary • opinion. Ft said FBI agents had. reason tq believe a felony was being committed before their eyes and .therefore had full? authority to make the arrest. The only wiretapping issue of any merit, the court added, was the possibility that Miss Copion was denied privacy when talking with her attorney. ? JI t I - i~ — * * ; Summer Sessions At I. U.
