Ike Promises Aid To Small Businessmen Still Angered At . Anti-Catholic And Anti Jewish Charge EN ROUTE WITH EISENHOW-' ER, UP — Dwight D.. Eisenhower campaigned in New Hampshire and Massachusetts today with a* promise to do more than “lip service” for small business. “Whatever I can do to help small business and to provide diversified industry in each locality, that I shall do,” he told dn early-morning audience of 4,050 persons at Manchester, N. H. . Aware of unemployment in the New Hampshire textile mills, Eisenhower also promised a “ttg) employment” program if He said the Democratic attacks on him had reached such a pblht that “such good friends as Cardinal Spellman, Rabbi Silver and Bernard Baruch found R necessary or advisable to jump into the fray . . , Still obviously angry at President Truman’s charge he is a captive of anti-Jewish and anti-Cath-olic forces, Eisenhower expressed his gratitude for the help he received from the Catholic prelate. Silver, a Cleveland rabbi, and Baruch, the New York financier. Eisenhower promised to serve all the people, regardless of face, religion or color, if he is elected President. , JThe Republican presidential nominee said he would contlMe to repudiate Mr. Truman’s charges at eyery step be makes in New (Hampshire and Massachusetts on his way hack to New York today. Eisenhower gave his first reply to the charge Monday at Providence, R. I. ‘ ' v • The Republican presidential nominee appeared to be unimpressed with Mr. Trumhn’si denial in a special statement Monday night that he ever had called Eisenhower antl-Semitls or anti-Cath-ollc. I The President, in the same statement, however; again criticized Eisenhower for endorsing Republican senators whb had helped override his veto of the McCarron immigration bill. Last Friday Mr. Truman, in a statement to the national Jewish welfare board, said Eisenhower had become the captive of these senators. J Elsenhower told his Providence audience the Democrats had lied and overstepped themselves on the racial and religious questions. “Ladies and gentlemen, I leave the answers to those of my good friends. Cardinal Spellman, Rabbi Abba Hillel, Silver and Bernard Baruch;” Elsenhower said. “Already they have established those stories for the falsehoods that they are." ' Eisenhower departed from this theme Monday night at Worcester, Mass., to give his definition of the word “crusade,” -which he has used repeatedly to describe the nature of bis campaign. He said his parents had taught him early that muscles, machines rules “became instruments w evil” unless they were coupled with the ‘will and ’'determination of spirit." > V “How else can you explain the successful landings in North Africa and the campaign that followed through Sicily and Italy, except in terms of a crusade?” Easenhower asked. “We had the ships and the arms, we had! the necessary men, but without the spirit of crusade in onr fightink forces we could have been repulsed.” Examinations Listed V Under Civil Service Earl Chase, acting necretary of qivil service kt the Decatur post office, announces that the U. 8. civil service corami.Mk>n will hold examinations for engineers, engineer trainee and photoengrnvers.

(UP)—An under-secretary of agriculture charges the Republicans have • “three farm splatforma, one presented at the convention in July, • one mouthed by General Eiaen■hower and another presented by die Republicans in congress.” '? Clarence J, McCormick told the Illinois Farmers for Stevenson committee at a Monday luncheon meeting here thai the Republican platform called for farm prices determined by production. ? "In other #ords, the more you produce, the less you get,” he said. 1 “The platform is 'aimed* at full parity at the market place,” McCormick said, "Twenty-five percent of American farmers lost their farms In the depression under such Republican aiming.” %' Hie said most Republicans in congress voted against rural electrification, support prices, csrop insurance, conservation programs, and the rural telephone program. He said G<)P vice presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon voted 'four times against rural electrification. r : — ? : Secretary Os Navy Lauds Marshall Plan Kimball Back From Tour Os Inspection : WASHTNOTJON, UP—Navy secretary Dan A. Kimball said today Marshall plan and military aid for Western European countries "has *been money well spent." Kimball, who returned last week from a European inspection tour, said "the Marshall Plan plus military aid has got things going over there.” ■ He said he got an “overall favorable impression” of the European situation. although are not out of t the woods yet." • Kimball told a news conference too many people in the United States believe this country is paying the whole cost for European defense preparations. \ > “All of the countries ip NATO are being heavily taxed for this purpose and the United States contribution is supplemental," he said, i 'I For example, the tax on! an electric refrigerator in Greece is about eix times the cost of the refrigerator itself, Kimball said. He "guessed" the United States pays about 20 percent of the defence bill for European countries, but emphasised it was strictly a guess. Kimball was asked whether the United States needs to enlarge its fleet in Korean Waters and whether a larger fleet would make it possible to end the war more quickly. \ Kimball said, “not unless more forces of all services were sent to Korea. 3f we’re , going to force a decision on the ground then we'd have to put more forces in there." \ ... — , Seniors Visiting County [Departments Seniors of Decatur high school are touring the departments of the Adams county courthouse to get a better understanding of 1 the mechanics of their local government, and, in effect, any local : government, as they are basically all the same.

Truman Denies Party Is Soft Toward Reds Lashes Republicans For Falsehoods On His Administration EN ROUTE WITH TRUMAN. (UP) —President Trumari bitterly assailed the Republicans today for “spreading the outrageous falsehood” that his administration has been “soft toward Communism." Mr. Truman also scoffed at Dwight D. Eisenhower's plan to call a conference of governors to sue. He said the Republican presidential nominee “obviously does not know the hard facts of life” about civil rights and "doesn’t know what it . takes to getsomething done in this field.” i Setting fbrth on his third whis-tle-stop tour of the campaign, the President said Democrats have fought Communism successfully both at home and abroad. ; And he asserted that the Reds would be “delighted” to have the Republicans win the November elections “because Communism thrived on reaction and depression.” Mr. Truman left Washington aboard his special train early today for a three-day rail and auto tour of Delaware, New i i Jersey t Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He scheduled major speeches this afternoon in Philadelphia and tonight at Pottsville, Pa. In his address prepared for delivery at Jersey City, N. J., he said the GOP has resorted tp “every propaganda technique” in an effort to put over "the* big He" that Democrats are soft toward Communism. ! ; I “In the face of everything my administration has done to build up our defenses against Communism here and abroad, the Republican charge would be funny if the matter were not so Serious,” he said. Li r He said his administration has fought Communism by creating “the finest intelligence services in our history? and “vastly strengthening” the FBi; with •‘highly effective” programs for. industrial and port security; by settlhg up “government - wide standards to protect secret information;” and through al loyally program which gives federal employes a Vmore careful”; screening than "any other group in the cation.” . Abroad;’Mr. Truman said, Communist aggression was “stopped" iq Europe by such measures as the Marshall plan, Atlantic pact, and Greek-Turkish program, and it was met in Asia by the decision to resist in Korea. He said the Korean war decision particularly was “a real test of softness or toughness toward Communism.” ‘ I Mr. Truman commented bn Eisenhower’s civil rights views in a speech prepared for delivery at Newark,!

Dispatches Tell Os .Officer Hero's Death
Editor’s note: Dispatches i fi-om the Korean front last I week told of an American col-, one! Who died a hero’s .death leading an attack on Triangle Hill. Not until Monday night, ; however, could the officer be 1 identified and thp full details i of his courageous effort be 1 disclosed. Here is the story of ope American’s sacrifice in i the causp of freedom. \ ; By RICHARD APPLEGATE ' United Press Staff Correspondent WITH U. S. 7TH DIVISION. Korea, delayed by Censor, UP — 1 Lt. Col; William H. Isbell. Jr., 45, pambrills, Md., was an artillery frfficer who always -wanted to get nto front-line combat. ; He got his chance last Tuesday, and it cost him his life. But he died a: hero and has been recom- ' mended for the nation’s highest. award -a congressional medal of honor. He led the first, almost hopeless American ’charge up the slip-’ slopes of rugged Triangle Hill into- the face Os deadly Communist fire when he!: could have stayed: behind in safety. Had he lived, he probably Would have captured the strategic height. Isbell did not have to die. His fatal task was one assigned only by his own conscience and his to, lead infantrymen tn front-line battle. Brig. (Jen. Andrew !p. O’Meara, artillery commander of the 7th division and an old friend, told me the story of this colonel. “I hope I can tell this stqry properly,” said O'Meara, a West Point graduate of 1930, one year ahead of Isbell. “It is a great and sad story of a man who died' in the best tradition of the army he loved.? Isbell leaves a wife dnd two small children, Linda, 10, and Bill, 9. His widow was under the care of friends in M ar riand who said She has not been told the details of his death. O’Meara, of Chevy Chase, Md., tdld how Isbell, an artilleryman by choice and experience, had been .picked for the quartermaster corps during World War IL because that branch was desperate for men. ; • "He wanted an artillery battalion,” O’Meara said, “and came to me w|ith hope. 1 was determined to give blm his battalion as soon as this; operation was over. "We had orders to take what you reporters call Triangle Hill. I asked Isbell tn go along with the Commanding officer of th© outfit taking it to report on the liaison and forward observers. : We went in separate helicopters to see where it happened and stood finally, on the spiny ridge of a mountain overlooking Triangle, O’Meara fixed hik 20-power glasses at the foot of an impossibly steep hill.; "That was where Isbell was watching the figtit.? He p lifted the glasses several hundred yards up the steep slope-. —dust was still slithering down it today—and showed me where J the assault troops had been pin-! nea down (by mortar. "I Was looking dowp .from this. 1 same observation post and I saw , the attack waver and then stop. 1 It looked hopeless. ?’Then I saw this ; stubby little figure of an officer working his way up through the men, encour- ' aging them, but aH«the time work- 1 ing his way up. . 1 ; 1 “Then he was out in frorit, still i going up, through that sliding dirt :

there. All the way he kept waving the men on, making big sweeping 'come on’ motions‘with his pistol. “I didn’t know who it was, then. "1 watched that little man get all the way to the top, still trying to coax the men up, th£n hover on the end of a Chinese trepch leadr ing into a bunker. | “Then I sa# him turn and wave the men up with his pistol again. Slowly they began to move. Six, eight or maybe 10 of the bravest crawled up to join him. I < “From here I watched them prepare to dasty Into the trench and the bunker to kill the' Chinese there. i j.. ’ “And then! it came. ? “I saw this gallant little figure stagger backward, his arms outflung, and reel over into the arms of two of the men he had led, I thought he had been bit by a grenade. | "Later I learned that the Chinese in the bunker had thrown a satchel charge of dynamite which caught him right in the middle. The other men had to fall back down that steep stope , to, save themselves. \ “Bpt if he had lived we would have \ taken the crest that day and saved all those assault casualties the next day. I “J didn’t know’ until it was all over that this hero, this great and simple soldier who * was the divisional inspector general but' who knew what had to be done ( in an emergency, was my old friend Col. Isbell. ?He was a great soldier and a simple one. I hope you will keep his story simple.” COAL INDUSTRY (Coatinned FrotnPage One) is picketing mines which are operating wltfc non-union employes. , Sheriff Ishmael Fletcher said six shots were fired from k wooded hill into a cabin housing seven nonunion miners. Occupants of the house returnted the fire.: Fletcher said the attackers “presumably” were striking UMW workers. This time the miners wer© not striking against thpir traditional foes —the operators—but in protest at thjfe WSB ruling that the full raise would be inflationary. Monday about 110,000 men were idle in West: Virginia and not one mine was in operation. An estimated 72,000 miners were on strike in Pennsylvania, and almost all of Kentucky’s 50,000 UMW members were off the job. Illinois counted 18,000 idle, Alabama 16,000 and Indiana 7,500. There was little danger of a coal shortage since the supply already above ground and frozen •by defense officials was suflcient to last 70 to 80 days. But the strike quickly was felt in the railroad industry and let to scattered layoffs.
