Ike's Vacation Ends With Visit to Capitol
Augusta, Ga.—(U.P.)—President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower said today as he concluded a post-election vacation that he does not know when he will make his promised trip to Korea.
Gen. Eisenhower, looking refreshed and relaxed after ten days of golf or as much lazy living as he could squeeze in, talked briefly about his plans for Washington and the first of a long series of conferences leading up to his inauguration as president of the United States.
"The question about which I have been asked to talk is Korea," Gen. Eisenhower said. "About that I cannot say anything until I return from out there. I still don't even know for certain when that trip will take place."
The president-to-be said with a broad smile that his stay here has been "only a partial vacation" because of the heavy correspondence that swept down on him like a tidal wave after his Nov. 4 election victory.
He also has had several important conferences here and has made some policy decisions. Among them was the appointment of Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts and Detroit banker Joseph M. Dodge as his liaison agents with the outgoing Truman administration.
But Gen. Eisenhower said that while the work here "has been a great burden, it also has been a great satisfaction because it evidences a great determination of our people to maintain a keen interest in governmental affairs."
The president-elect said he looks forward to his administration receiving "critical and intelligent support, rather than blind support for the next four years."
A crowd of about 1,000 was at the airport to wave goodbye to Gen. Eisenhower and his family as their big Eastern airlines charter plane roared off the runway at 10:37 a.m. EST.
Gen. Eisenhower's first conference will be late today with President Truman. Then he goes on to New York tonight for consultations with
Republican leaders, including Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
Gen. Eisenhower's arrival today in Washington, his home for the next four years, will be his first since the election. The nation's capital prepared a thunderous reception and President Truman ordered government departments to give employees time off to greet the president-to-be on his triumphal drive down historic Constitution and Pennsylvania avenues to the White House.
Tammany Offers
Told By Ex-Official
New York—(U.P.)—A former assistant U. S. attorney testified today that a New York Tammym district leader had offered to sell him a municipal judgeship in 1947 for $25,-000.
Frank J. Duffy told the state crime commission that William Connelly, Democratic leader of the 8th Assembly district, made the offer to him in a taxicab.
Mr. Dufficy said Mr. Connellly told him "it had always been the custom in this and other clubs" that a man who wanted a municipal court nomination should pay the district leader "at least one year's salary and a campaign fund of at least $5,000."
Mr. Duffy testified that Mr. Connelly told him he already had an offer from another attorney in the club of a $15,000 personal gift and a $10,000 campaign gift.
He testified that once when a Tammany Supreme Court nominee failed to receive endorsement from any bar association that Mr. Connelly had commented to him that "The leaders are getting too hungry
—they must have demanded at least $100,000" for that nomination.

New Attack on Ridge Seen As Reds Mass Fresh Troops
Korea—(U.P.)-The United Nations big guns blazed last night against Chinese Communists trying to mass fresh troops in apparent preparation for a new major attack on Sniper ridge, already under pressure from enemy raider patrols.
Republic of Korea troops drove Chinese off Rocky point, one of the smaller knobs on Sniper ridge, at noon yesterday after the Reds seized it at dawn with a 200-man attack behind a curtain of artillery shells.
Fresh Chinese infantrymen were reported crowding into the maze of caves and tunnels on the yoke, their fortress and kickoff point just north of Sniper.
Chinese raiders still jabbed at Rocky point last night but at 9:30 p.m. (6:30 a.m., CST) United Press War Correspondent Victor Kendrick said no major assault had developed.
UN fighter bombers and tank guns joined with artillery during the day in blasting approaches to Sniper as forward observers reported constant Red troop movements indicated replacement of battle-weary infantrymen with fresh troops.
Mr. Kendrick said Air Force, Navy, Marine and South African planes flew 63 sorties and dropped tons of explosives and 20 tons of flaming jelled gasoline bombs during a seven-hour attack.
Meanwhile, three Navy Panther jets shot down two Russian-built MIGs and damaged a third off the northeast coast of Korea last night, the Navy reported.
The Navy said the three Panthers from the Aircraft Carrier Oriskany encountered four MIGs about 100 miles southeast of Changjin off the northeast coast shortly before midnight.
One of the MIGs was shot down, a second was last seen going down in a steep spiral and smoking badly. A third was damaged and broke off the engagement.
All three Panthers returned safely to the Oriskany although one of the planes was damaged.
Previous to this engagement, Navy aircraft were credited with destruction of five MIGs in the Korean war.
Flight Training Program Offered
A series of weekend flight training instruction is available to physically qualified and interested students who are enrolled in the AFROTC program at the University, according to Carl V. Applegate, assistant prof. of air science.
The program, if it has a successful response, will continue throughout the school year. The training will be held at the Olathe Naval Air Station and will give students a complete picture of the Air Force flying program.
Col. Lynn R. Moore, professor of air science and tactics, and Col. Richard C. Kugel, head of the Kansas reserve training wing based at Olathe, have set up the program. James Perry, college junior, is the wing cadet flying training officer in charge of coordinating and qualifying cadets for the instruction.
The program will not give cadets pilot instruction, as the flying will be done by officers at the base, but will enable them to receive training in navigation, theory of flight, and combat briefing. A C-46 troop carrier will be the training plane.
Capt. Applegate pointed out that the program has never been attempted before and emphasized that "it will make cadets feel they are a part of the Air Force flying program."
