Morse Statement Still 'Top Secret'
Washington — (U.P.)—The State department said today it still has a "top secret" label on a 1947 Defense Department document made public by Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon in a campaign speech at Minneapolis Monday.
The department did so in a telegram to Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif). Sen. Knowland had asked the State and Defense departments yesterday to say whether the document still was top secret or whether it had been declassified. He said the document, as made public by Sen. Morse, was published in the New York Times.
Sen. Morse has resigned from the Republican party and is campaigning for Democratic presidential nominee Adlai E. Stevenson.

Seoul, Korea —(U.P.)- South Korean infantrymen, refusing orders to retreat, battled with Chinese Communists atop Triangle hill today in a savage see-saw fight for the strategic central front peak.
Possession of the hill north of Kumhwa still was in doubt after 16 hours of fighting. The ROK troops, determined to win or die, met the Chinese Reds in fierce hand-to-hand duels with fists and bayonets and with hand grenades.
"We're on top of the hill," one officer said, "but so are the enemy."
United Press correspondent Victor Kendrick said that about 3,000 Red troops overran more than 500 ROK troops at 2 a.m.. yesterday (no FST) and captured the peak. The South Korean riflemen later retook the position, but then had to give it up to another vicious Red assault at 10 a.m.
ROK's Battle Reds on Triangle
Maj. Robert S. Galer, an American advisor to the ROKs, told Mr. Kendrick that of three ROK units engaged in the initial Red assault, two were "completely gone" and a third was reduced to 18 men.
"They refused to go." Mr. Kendrick said.
Mr. Kendrick said that South Koreans who made the second counterattack at midmorning were ordered during the afternoon to get off the hill.

Pach Joins FACTS In Housing Agitation
Both Nulton and Miss Snyder report excellent cooperation from University administrators. Present plans call for the information gathered by the two groups to be presented to the board of regents next month. A request for a legislative appropriation to build more housing on the Hill will be made at that time.
FACTS is promising continued effort in getting more and better student housing at KU, in a sixplank platform adopted at a party tribune meeting last night.
The adopted platform reads as follows:
Miss Spyder is working in cooperation with another committee headed by Bill Nulton and John Handrahan, college seniors, who are formulating a plan of inspection and rating of existing housing facilities.
1. A committee to gather evidence of the need for better independent housing at KU, and to exert every effort to obtain an appropriation from the state Legislature for more housing facilities.
Truck Driver Injured
Earl Jenkins, an employee of the building and grounds department, suffered minor shoulder and chest injuries early today when the University-owned truck he was driving collided with an auto at 8th and Indiana streets. The truck was overturned by the impact.
2. Student inspection and rating of student housing.
student reading.
3. Continued and emphasized effort against racial and religious discrimination.
4. Recover the student wage raise which was lost this year.
5. An exam-free study day during final week.
6. Selection of class officers solely on the basis of merit and without party label.
The party already has taken steps to obtain most of the things cited in the platform. At the present time, a committee of students headed by Jane Snyder, FACTS candidate for freshman representative to the All Student Council, is gathering data on existing living conditions and the possibilities of improving the situation.
Chester Lewis, FACTS president, asserted that "FACTS will continue to champion the cause of better student housing—especially upper-class women's housing — regardless of what anybody else may think, say, or do."
Convicts Release 7 Prison Guards
Menard, III.—(U.P.)—All seven of the Menard, prison guards held since Monday as hostages in revolt-torn east cell house were released safely today after state police rushed the building under the personal direction of Illinois Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson.
Pachacamac got aboard the better housing bandwagon last night with a five-point policy designed to improve the housing situation confronting University students.
Between 100 and 200 troopers,
most of them armed with riot guns,
entered the building to apparently
quell a riot which broke out with
the seizure of the guards as hostages.
At least two shots, apparently gas cartridges, were fired within the building.
Gov. Stevenson apparently did not enter the cell house, but directed the operation from the yard outside. Michael F. (CQ) Seyfruit, director of public safety, told the hungry prisoners that since they refused to negotiate across the table.
"We are going into the cells with state police armed with guns and with whatever force necessary to restore order."
Dr. S. S. Marshall, the prison dentist, said the guards were all right, but emotionally upset. He said no violence had been used and the convicts released the guards after a lot of talk.
Gov. Stevenson, who broke off his campaign for the presidency last night to take personal command of the operation, was grim-faced but cool after many hours of conferences with state and prison officials.
Marine Union to Strike
New York —U.P.)- Members of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific in the port of New York voted unanimously today to strike "sometime after next Tuesday" because the Wage Stabilization board had not acted on a new SUP contract.
Political Activity Centers in Midwest
Washington — (U,P) - The presidential campaign was focused on the Midwest today.
Korea seemed firmly fixed as the top campaign issue. National Defense Secretary Robert A. Lovett joined the dispute to defend the administration against Eisenhower's attacks on military policy in the Far East.
Republican nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower was flying from New York to rally the GOP in Chicago.
The campaign was heading toward new records for anger and name-calling. The only sure thing was that this campaign would end tomorrow night. There may be a scattering of beep-beeps thereafter, but at midnight tomorrow the whistles stop.
Democratic nominee Adalai E. Stevenson was in Menard, Ill., to calm a state prison riot.
President Truman rolled into Ohio from Michigan.
Lovett denied 8th Army Com-
to desperation, no one had eve engaged in such unrestrained slander as to charge I would trim my principles to run for office."
whistles stop. Mr. Truman and General Eisenhower each saw the other and his associates as big-lie technicians in the manner of Nazis, Fascists, and Communists.
Mr. Stevenson, meanwhile, airplaned from Pittsburgh to Menard, Ill., where 300 convicts for five days have rioted and held guards as hostages.
But last night in Pittsburgh, he compared party records for 20 years back and said he proudly laid the comparison before next Tuesday's voters. "The Republicans went out of office 20 years ago telling us that prosperity was just around 'the corner,' and now they try to come back with the same old corny story, but this time it is depression that is hiding around that corner."
mander Gen. James A. Van Fleet was being relieved subsequent to Eisenhower's publication of his letter supporting the Republican plan to speed up the training of South Korean soldiers for front line duty.
Mr. Truman said at Detroit last night that "we are now reaching the turning point in a struggle to make the Kremlin aggressors come to terms and drop their plans of conquest." The President said his administration's great achievements had been: progress in stopping Communist aggression without another world war; progress in civil rights; prosperity. Election of Stevenson would bring all three to "final success". Mr. Truman said.
The Pentagon said the South Korean army would be expanded considerably "in the near future" and insisted that the training program for South Korean troops had been carried on vigorously. Gen. Van Fleet had complained in a letter made public by Gen. Eisenhower that he had got "little encouragement and never any approval for" expansion of the South Korean army.
Gen. Eisenhower told a Madison Square Garden audience last night that this campaign was his toughest experience. He said Nazi propaganda Chief Joseph Goebbels and Jew-baiter Julius Streicher "had done quite a job on me for a number of years"; recalled that "the poison pen artists on Pravda have been working on me for quite a spell. I have been worked over by experts, but until our success in this campaign drove our opponents
- Key points in the proposed program are the release of land now held by the University to private organizations who will build on this land, and the encouraging of private organizations to undertake building programs on the Hill.
Ron Kull, journalism senior and vice president of Pach, said "There are some of us (Pach members) who still have to live like independents." He stressed that several houses around the Hill are hampered in their building efforts by the lack of land on which to build.
Pach favors:
1. Establishing a system of minimum housing standards and requiring present private housing facilities to conform to these standards.
2. Improving present University-owned housing facilities.
3. Assuring adequate facilities for veterans.
4. Release of land now under University option or ownership to private organizations who wish to build.
A committee was appointed to study the housing situation and make recommendations to the Society as to action which can be taken.
Vern Lemon, graduate student, is chairman. Other members of the committee are Darrell Fanestil, college sophomore; Chuck Kirkpatrick, college senior' Larry Loftus, college sophomore, and Jerry Lysaught, college junior.
Another committee was appointed to investigate the possibilities of getting later closing hours for University women. Dean Glasco, engineering junior, was selected as chairman.
Hubert Dye, business junior, was elected parliamentarian of the Inner Circle. He will also function in that capacity for Pach members of the All Student Council at meetings of the Council.
Walt Rickel, president of Pachacamac, urged members to "get out the vote" for the coming freshman election. He stressed that all freshmen will be able to vote Wednesday merely by presenting their ID cards, and he put particular emphasis on participation by the pledge classes in the various houses.
