Soviet Blocks U.S. Shipment of Tanks
Berlin—U.P.)—The Russians refused today to let the United States Army ship tanks to Berlin on the Army train which runs through Soviet-occupied territory from Western Germany.
An American Army spokesman said Soviet border guards refused to pass eight new Patton tanks, destined for the United States garrison here, through the Marienborn checkpoint on the border between Western and Eastern Germany.
The tanks were being sent here to replace old Fershing tanks used by the tank company of the 6th Infantry regiment.
But last Saturday they started to interfere with Army supplies by refusing to pass 18 Army buses on the train from Berlin to the West.

Rhee Government Survives Ouster Bid
Pusan, Korea — (U.P.)— President Syngman Rhee's government weathered today the first no-confidence vote in its history.
A no-confidence vote failed to obtain the two-thirds majority needed to oust Rhee's cabinet. The vote was 103 against the government and 45 for it. Four abstained and one vote was invalid.
The vote grew out of charges that Rhee failed to remove from office government officials allegedly involved in the "Tungsten Dollar Case."
Bosses May Bow To Lewis' Goal
Washington—(U.P.)—Hard coal operators today were reported ready to bow to John L. Lewis' demand that 65,000 anthracite miners get a pay raise by Saturday.
Facing a deadline two days away, the operators were scheduled to resume negotiations at noon with the United Mine Workers chief on a new hard coal contract.
Informants said the producers were ready to sign a new agreement rather than face a shut-down in the anthracite fields. Mr. Lewis has insisted the contract by signed in time to give the miners the pay boost by Nov. 1.
Throughout the negotiations, the miners' boss has been demanding a $1.90-a-day wage boost—the same increase he won for 375,000 soft coal miners. When the Wage Stabilization board trimmed the soft coal hike to $1.50, the miners staged a week-long walkout, returning this week on direct orders from Mr. Lewis.
Almost $100,000 Stolen at Charity
Chicago—(U.P.)—Police said that seven masked bandits who terrorized and robbed 150 persons early today at a charity card party escaped with jewelry, furs and cash worth from $75,000 to $100,000.
Police Lt. Ernest J. Kubus made the estimate after interviewing the victims of the pistol-wielding thieves.
The men, each flourishing a .45 caliber automatic pistol, forced their way into the fund-raising party, ripped the blouse from one woman, slugged an elderly man with a pistol butt, stripped the guests of theirs valuables, and escaped into the darkness.
Most of the persons attending the card party at the Austin Jewish Community center quickly complied with the gruff orders barked by the bandits. But one woman, whom police had not identified, slipped a ring into her blouse.
Frankfurt, Germany—U.R.P.—The GI absentee voters in Europe appear to be about evenly split between Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gov. Adlai Stevenson.
But a United Press sampling of their views disclosed that only about 40 per cent of the 300,000 based in West Germany or stationed in isolated outposes behind the Iron Curtain in Berlin and Vienna have voted.
Overseas Forces Evenly Split On Presidential Candidates
United Press Correspondents buttonedholed more than 200 of them, officers and enlisted men, regulars and draffees. While by no means conclusive their replies indicated that:
Officers and regular army men generally favor like.
their ballots for Gov. Stevenson:
In answer to questions they learned that the 60 per cent of incumbent not ex-
tricated in the incumbent's absence balloting privileges didn't vote because they just weren't sufficiently interested or because some states place too many difficulties in the way of obtaining absentee ballots.
Younger enlisted men, and particularly the draftees, cast most of
their ballots for Gov. Stevenson
The United Press sampling, which made no pretext of being an accurate poll of soldier sentiment, showed one interesting trend: airmen showed much greater interest in the elections than army men. Some air squadrons reported 100 per cent of the eligibles had voted.
United Nations, N.Y. —(U.P.) —Western delegates were expected to press today for more details of a Soviet proposal for a new 'United Nations commission to end the Korean war.
Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky proposed the creation of the new commission last night at the end of a three and a half hour address in answer to Secretary of State Dean Acheson's bid for Korean peace last week.
Mr. Acheson said Mr. Vishinsky had failed to meet the issue which has stalemated the Korean truce talks—whether prisoners of war should be forced to return to their homelands.
After Mr. Vishinsky's speech, the longest in the history of the UN General Assembly, Mr. Acheson said the Soviet foreign minister had said "nothing that hasn't been said at Panmunjom or a thousand times before."
Australian Minister R. G. Casey said he never had listened "so long to a man trying to prove that black is white."
At first glance, the Russian resolution appeared to be a watered-down version of the Polish "peace package" which had been rejected earlier and placed at the foot of the committee's agenda. It made no call for "immediate cessation" of hostilities in Korea and did not mention the prisoner repatriation issue, as did the original Polish proposal.
Western diplomats were expected to seek answers to these questions raised by Mr. Vishinsky's address and resolution:

1. Does his failure to refer to the repatriation question, which stalled the Pamunjum talks, mean that Russia wants the issue to be settled by the new commission?

2. Does his demand for such a commission, in fact, mean that the Pamunjin negotiations would be referred to the new group?

Martin Hits At Tax 'Loss'
Washington — (U-P) — Sen. Edward Martin (R-Pa.) asked Attorney General James P. McGranery today why the government in 1942 settled a $5,163,388 tax claim against movie mogul William Fox for only $295,000.
The Pennsylvania Republican charged that the government could have recovered the entire amount. He asked McGramery to investigate whether "political pressure or improper or illegal methods" were used in the settlement.
Martin also asked, in a letter to McGranery released today, whether officials who handled the case are still on the Treasury or Justice department's payrolls, and whether the government still could go to court to recover the $4,871,380 "loss."
The Bureau of Internal Revenue refused to comment, but released a heretofore "confidential" letter pertaining to the Fox case from Tax Commissioner John B. Dunlap to Chairman Walter F. George (D-Ga.) of the Senate Finance committee.
Sen. Dunlap's letter, dated last June 4, said the $25,000 settlement was "justified by the merits of the case." He said there was "no assurance" that a suit to recapture Mr. Fox's assets would be successful.

Allied troops on Sniper were stopped cold in three attempts to drive the Reds from tunnels and bunkers at the northwest edge of Sniper yesterday.
At 9 p.m. last night (6 a.m. Thursday, CST). Sniper was reported "relatively quiet" but UN troops were braced for the blast of artillery and Red bugle calls that could signal a renewed attack.
The Reds fought back with greedies machine guns and rifles.
Pinpoint, the dominating height on Sniper ridge, has changed hands 11 times since 1 a.m. (10 a.m. CST) Wednesday when the Reds launched their first successful assault.
the crest for the sixth time in 14 hours of confused, bloody fighting.
The vicious, see-saw battle for the central front hill north of Kumwha was mostly at close quarters. Allied and Red soldiers battled with rifle butts, fists, hand grenades and small arms.
Another officer said the situation on Pinpoint was "so confusing that nobody knows what's going on most of the time."
"They came in screaming. 'kill, kill,' an officer said. "The air was thick with hand grenades."
The Chinese captured the peak for the sixth time about noon (1 p.m. CST) with a two-battalion assault of about 1,500 men. Three-quarters of an hour earlier, UN soldiers had driven the Reds off after heavy hand-to-hand fighting.
THESE PRICES EFFECTIVE THRU NOV. 1
"They just come up at us out of nowhere," an officer said. "We can't him them without artillery."

The deep tunnels are bomb-proof and apparently impervious to artillery, as well.
Allied officers said the Red tunnel system stretches from "The Yoke." Chinese-held territory on the northwest edge of Sniper ridge, almost to the base of Pinpoint hill.
There was no immediate estimate of Communist casualties in the daylong fight, although they were heavy.
