t Truce Gen. Ridgway Accepts Reds' Proposed Site ■ ■ 1Communists Agree To UN Demands Fpr* Shift From Kaesong Tokyo, Oct. B.—(UP) — Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway tooay accepted a Communist proposal to resume the suspended Korean truce talks at Pan Mun Jom, five miles southeast , pf Kaesong. The supreme United Nations commander notified the Commynfeta that he is instructing his liaison officers to meet ’Red representatives at 10 a.m. Wednesday (7 p.m. Tuesday CST) to make the necessary arrangements. The Red commanders yesterday had reluctantly suggested Pan Mun Jom for the conference aifter Ridgway refused to send his truce teamback to the incident-ridden' former site. Kaesong. Ridgway, .indicated, however, that he would seek a smaller conference neutral zone than that envisioned by the Communist commanders. He, suggested “a small neutral v zone around the conference sitei with Kaesong,- Mun san and the. roads to Pan Mun Jom from Kaesong apd Munsan tree from attack." ’ , — Kaesong, five mites northwest o(, Pan Mun Jom. is headquarters of the Communist; truce delegation as well as site of the truce talks until the Reds broke them off Aug. 23. Miinsan. some 10 miles southeast of Pan Mun Jor», is headquarters of , the UN truce! team headed by Vice Admiral C- Turner Joy, com-} mander of U.S: naval forces in the; far east'. •. Gen. Kim 11 Sung. North Korean premier and commander in chief, anti Gen. Peng Teh-Huai, had pro-, posed to Ridgway Sunday that the present neutral zone radiating five miles from Kaesong be enlarged to a “rectangular” area extending south to include Munsan. The Communist generals also suggested that' the truce delegates at the first of their resumed meetings set up a joint committee to establish “concrete and strict” conditions for the neutrality and, security of the conference site. They accepted Ridgway’s demands that both sides share iri the responsibility for the protection of the neutral zone. ' The Communist selection of Pan Mun Jom for renewal of the ceasefire conference represented a UN Victory. Ridgway had insisted that the talks be shifted from Kaesong, deep behind the Communist lines and patrolled exclusively by Red troops, to a point midway betweenthe opposing lines. Ridgway originally had suggested that the talks be resumed at Songhyon, two miles farther southeast, but the Reds rejected it. -f” I • ' Local Lady's Niece Dies Sunday Night Mrsl Lucille Florine.

Legislature Will Resume Wednesday Solons Deadlocked . On Welfare Measure Indianapolis. Oct. 8 — (UP) —- A Demiwrat who may support the Republican home-rule welfare appropriation bill as a “last resort” solution to Indiana's special legislative session warned today it probably will necessitate another special session within three months. > > Sen. Mary Garrett. D., Indianapolis, said if a $29.000.00() appropriation to run the state’s welfare program without federal aid is passed, the drain on the state treasury will create “emergency,” resulting in tax increases “before next year?’ v Both houses of the general assembly reconvene at 1 p. m. Wednesday. The lawmakers return with the senate pledged to put the state back into the good graces of the federal government ' and the house, to shunning federi al\ aid and dividing welfare i-osts between the state and counties. Wednesday will be the 17th day of a special session which can last ,no more than 40. When it will end depends on which legislative ' chamber will reverse itself to end a deadlock. Sen. John W. Van Ness, R.’, Valparaiso, president pro tern olj the senate, predicted the senate will fall in line with home-rule legislation passed by the house Friday. But Sen. said Democrats still are not admitting defeat for a postponement Mil. ".The picture changes every day,” she skid. “Some house Republicans may come back Wednesday with different views after talking to their constituents.” Minority Democrats and “rebeH Republcians in both houses favor a bill, moving up the effective date of an Mantisecrecy" welfare law which; cost Indiana 120,000,000 a year federal aid until 4, 1953. “Loyal" Re- , publicans want to stand pat on the “anti-secrecy” measure.

Stassen Assails Acheson, Jessup Declares Records Contradict Testimony Washington, <Oct. 3. —(UP)\— Harold E. Stassen swore today that "the record” contradicts, sworn testimony of secretary of atate Dean Acheson and ambassador at large Philip C. Jessup that they followed an anti-Communist policy in China. . Stassen, former Republican goverfcpr of now president of Pennsylvania University, said he could not “accuse or exonerate” anyone for his part in American policy. "The results," he said, “are equally tragic—whether they follow from honest mistakes or subversive treason.” Stassen testified under oath to a senate foreign relations subcommittee that is considering Jessup’s appointment to be a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations generally assembly. He said the record “will directly contradict” Acheson’s and Jessup’s testimony on these points: ‘That the state department rendered eYery reasonable assistance to Chiang Kai-Shek and the Chinese Communiats. \ ‘ThU. they baye never proposed cutting off al! military aid from the China Rationalists. “That they never have been willing to permit Formosa to go to the Chinese Communists* “That they never have considered or contemplated the recognition of the Chinese Gommpnist government.” | Stassen offered excerpts from the recently published diary of the late James Forrestal, former secretary of the navy and first secretary of defense, to back up his arguments. | He said they show the-state department overruled a decision tp have Japan’s armies in Manchuria march to the sea to surrender to the U.S. marines and npyy. As a result. he said, the Japanese surrendered to the Russians and Chinese Communists. Fire Prevention Week Opens Here \ ■ I ,'* ♦ .. Department Chief Cites Precautions Taking a firm hold of the situation, Decatur fire chief Cedric Fisher today unloosed a primer cf how-not-to-be-consumed by fire and smoke. The occasion is the first day of “fire prevention week” which extends through Saturday. ' Spouting statistics with the assurance of a man who knows what it’s about, Chief Fisher noted that fires dally “kill 28 of us, disfigures or injures 60 more, attack 700 of our homes, 139 stores, 80 factories, n’ne churches, eight schools, four theaters and three hospitals, and costs us about $2 million in destroyed property.” These figures, the chief admitted, are not necessarily startling 1 on the surface except when one realizes this death and destrpcYton occurs pvery day. | To this Fisher offered this advice: inspect property regularly, detect fire hazards promptly, correst such hazards immediately, build safely and well, limit what tnere is to burn, safeguard all sources of ignition, remember'that clean property is safer, and know what to do if, fire breaks out. One of the first things to do, of ' course, is call the fire department. Featured during the week wiH be the participation by vlocal schools in the nation-wide fire drill which will begin with the alarm sounded by radio. Duration of the drill will be 15 minutes, and officials across the country will be trying to determine the speed and efficiency of school children In getting out of the buildings. > ■

Allies Seize Five Hills On Korean Front ■ , ■ H i > - • ’ •- ■ Report Reds Rush Up 75,000 Troops To Bolster Forces Bth Army Headquarters, Korea, Tuesday, Oct. 9.—(UP)'— linked Nations troops captured five hills ’ Monday and blasted out gains of up to a mile under cover of a shattering dawn-to-dusk arflljery barrage along 10 miles of the Korean front. The Chinese Reds were reported to be rushing a new army of 30,000 men to the east-centra| front to bolster units believed to have lost 75 percent of their men in recent bloody fighting. “If the report is true, 1 said Maj. Robert N. Young, 2nd division commander on the front, “the Chinese will go through the same meat 1 grinder.” Monday’s 12-hour artillery bomt bardment obscured the hills ahead r of the advancing allies. ’ The Communists threw back more thin 1,300 rounds of artillery and mortar * snells but (failed (o halt the UN 1 drive. The Reds were still putting up a desperate fight, however. They threw South Korean troops ‘ off a high peak overlooking “punchbowl valley” on the eastern front 1 and halted American trpops just short of the summit of the last ’ enemy-held peak on “heartbreak ridge” on the east-central sector. 1 Just west of “heartbreak ridge,” ' however, the 9th regiment of the ' U.S. 2nd division took several more small hills in tough fighting on “Kim II Sung ridge,” named for the North Korean premier and com1 mander in chief. ' The 38th regimlent, also from the 2nd division, at the samp time captured a small hill in Muhdung valley between the two ridges. And on the western front. the U.S. Ist Cavalry division smashed ahead 1,000 to 1.500 yards north northwest of Yonchon. An Bth army said the week-old UN “persuader” Offensive —designed to force the Reds to make peace —had begun to “hurt the enemy.” t The spokesman said 11,520 Communist troops were killed or wound-' ed and 494 taken prisoners in the firsjt week ended' Friday. _ Violent Death Toll I Again High In State At Least 14 Deaths Reported In State By United Press A fiery airplane crash in a be- . fogged rainstorm killed three men returning from a hunting trip and pushed Indiana’s violent death toll for the weekend to a tragic high.
