Washington Mess Is Principal Issue
一
Washington —(UP)— Dwight D. Eisenhower today put the finishing touches on what his aides predicted would be his strongest attack on the administration, while Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson bid for New York's prize of 45 electoral votes.
The Republican presidential nominee's camp said he will blast the administration for the Korean war.
During the past several days Gen. Eisenhower has charged America became involved in the war because of a "miserable failure" of U.S. diplomacy conducted on President Truman's orders.
The Democratic candidate also repudiated criticism of the deposition he gave for Alger Hiss. He said the deposition was his civic duty.
Gov. Stevenson scheduled a day of whistle stopping through New York state after charging that Gen. Eisenhower is leading a campaign of "innuendo and slander" which could scuttle the nation's political system.
Harry Truman took a brief breather in Washington where he returned last night from his third whistle stop tour. He will hit the trail again Sunday for a swing through six midwestern states.
Sen. Richard M. Nixon said Gov. Stevenson used "shockingly bad" judgment when he gave a deposition for Alger Hiss.
Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Dev.), said today he would vote Nov. 4 for the re-election of Republican Sen. George W. Malone.
George
Sen. McCarran, for 20 years titular head of the state Democratic party, accused Democrat Tom Mechling, Sen. Malone's opposition, of telling an "unmitigated lie" when he charged that "two acknowledged spokesmen" for Sen. McCarran tried to bargain with him for the senator's support.
A scheduled television speech by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) was cancelled last night when attorneys for the station asked Sen. McCarthy to prove a portion of his speech. Sen. McCarthy said he did not have proof with him and refused to delete the material.
Reds Halt Attack On Triangle Hill
Seoul, Korea—(U.P)—American infantrymen launched a savage attack on Chinese Communists holding Pike's Peak on Triangle hill late today, but were forced to give it up in the face of a heavy Red artillery and mortar barrage.
U. S. 7th division soldiers clawed and fought their way to within 30 yards of the crest of the central front height before their attack stalled. Some of the intense Red fire was direct trajectory, probably from tanks or self-propelled guns.
United Press Correspondent Fred Painton said that at one point in the attack, the Americans were halted by a maze of anti-personnel mines planted around Pike's Peak by Communist patrols.
The American attack followed savage assaults by more than 3,000 Chinese Communists on eight American, South Korean and Ethiopian positions last night and early today.

Typhoons Hit Orient, Cuba
Rv UNITED PRESS
The typhoon "Trix," the most destructive storm to hit the Philippine islands in recent years, killed 415 and another 200 were reported missing, the Red Cross said today.
Weather experts said a new typhoon was forming 1,600 miles east-southeast of the Philippines in the same area where "Trix" originated.
The new typhoon, nicknamed "Wilma", passed 250 miles southwest of Guam yesterday. It could not be determined yet whether it would pass through the Central Philippines as Trix did Wednesday.
In the meantime, Cuba battened down for 125-mile-per-hour winds today as a severe hurricane roared north-northeastward across the Spanish Main at increasing speed, endangering the Florida straits and Bahama islands.
Squails moving ahead of the season's sixth tropical howler knocked out weather stations on islands and keys lying to the south and dumped heavy rains in the Havana area.
Havana and the 1,300,000 populace hastily boarded up to meet the brunt of the storm and military and service agencies were alerted both in Cuba and on the Florida mainland.
Cuban army, navy, police, and Red Cross units were ordered to stand by for emergency duty.

Construction Begins On Green Addition
A $140,000 Green hall addition is now under construction and will house additional law library stacks when completed. The extension will be about 30 feet by 40 feet and the excavation for the addition is almost complete. The lack of steel supplies is slowing down construction. If it is possible to secure the needed steel the construction may be completed by June — Kansas photo by

An examination over the functions and the constitution of AWS will be given Tuesday. Women making the highest scores will then be invited to a coffee Thursday. Six women will be selected by the election committee and their names will appear on the ballots for the freshman election.
Housing, Revue Studied by FACTS
"KU could become a one-year college as far as women are concerned if something isn't done about the housing situation" was the opinion voiced by Marese Ball, education senior, at the FACTS meeting last night.
"Women students are enticed to come here, in part, by glowing tales about the freshman dormitories," she said, "then a sophomore so-ed has to choose either a sorority, a scholarship hall, or one of the University-owned houses."
The FACTS tribune authorized a committee to investigate the problem and to send delegates to the Board of Regents' meeting October 31 to plead the cause of better housing.
Appointed a three-man committee to interview James K. Hitt, KU registrar, in an effort to recover the day of grace between the last day of classes and the first day of finals;
Students appointed to that committee were Jane Snyder, education freshman, chairman; Will Adams, graduate school; Wilbur Gants, college freshman; John Handrahan, college senior; Bob Laughin, college sophomore; Frank Lindethin, business senior, and Miss Ball

Other matters discussed by the FACTS tribune included an ASC bill sponsored by members of Pachacamac to place the Rock-Chalk Revue under the auspices of a governing board set up by the All Student Council.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today said, "It would be improper for me to comment in any detail on this entirely speculative story in Time magazine."
Feeling was expressed that the bill would be a serious blow to the campus YMCA, which has sponsored the Revue in past years. Chester Lewis, FACTS president, declared that the party would carry the
Time this week said Dr. Murphy may be the nation's first Secretary of Health and Welfare if Gen. Dwight Eisenhower is elected President in the coming election.
Although flattered by Time's kindly treatment of medical efforts in Kansas, Dr. Murphy said "I am astonished that one might take seriously the pure speculation relating to any appointment.
"I can say that I have never talked to Gen. Eisenhower about such an appointment, nor has he ever discussed any such subject with me," Dr. Murphy said. "I suspect he has far more important matters on his mind at the moment," he added.
"I have always been interested in medical matters and always will be, but one could ask no more than to have the privilege of leading a great state university into an expanding and challenging future."
Burglars Blast Weaver's Safe
Burglaries escaped with an undetermined amount of cash last night after blasting open the safe in a third-floor office of Weaver's department store, 901 Massachusetts st.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation joined Lawrence police and the sheriff's office in an intensive investigation of the apparently carefully-planned burglary.
Access to the building was gained through a window between the second and third floors on the south side of the building. A ladder had been used to reach the window from the roof of the adjoining Carl's clothing store.
Once inside the building, the safe was blasted open after a mattress and desk had been pushed in front of the door to dull the noise. Police officers said this morning that persons living in the neighborhood did not hear the blast.
The office was littered with the rubble of the safe doors and strewn records.
The University observatory atop Lindley hall will hold open house from 7:30 to 10 p.m. today.
Observatory Open To Public Tonight
Jupiter is five times as far from the sun as is the earth, however it is the second brightest of the planets visible in the sky. The cloud bands on the surface of the planet will also be clearly visible through the telescope. Eleven times the size of the earth, Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the sun.
The observatory will be open to the student body and the general public if the sky is clear, according to N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy.
Jupiter, largest of the planets in our solar system, will be the feature attraction of the open house. Four of the planet's 12 moons will be seen clearly through the observatory's six-inch refractor telescope.
Fine Arts Withdrawals to End Saturday will be the last day on which a student may withdraw from a class without a penalty, the School of Fine Arts office announced today.
