Korean Weather Stalls Communist Offensive
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—South Korean soldiers poured a murderous stream of machine gun and rifle fire tonight at 1,500 Chinese who stormed Sniper ridge in a flying wedge assault that bogged down in driving rain and ankle-deep mud.
Spearheaded by a company, the fanatic Reds opened their assault at 6:40 p.m. (3:40 a.m. CST) after sneaking to the base of the central front mountain under cover of the downpour.
But the South Koreans had an inking they were in for an attack. The Reds had preceded their two-battalion attack with a thundering artillery barrage.
Chinese who tried to flank 2nd division South Koreans on the ridge skidded down the slippery mountainside before they could get a foothold.
Chinese leading the assault reached to within hand-grenade range of South Korean positions but were unable to advance.
While rain hurt the Chinese assault it also prevented the South Koreans from sending up flares to light the battlefield.
Heavy fog before nightfall hampered an attack by South Korean troops on Iron Horse mountain, west of Sniper ridge. The South Koreans stormed up the southern slopes to within 50 yards of the crest.
Hurling hand grenades and firing small arms, the South Koreans dug in on the mountainside just a short distance from Chinese Communists

defending the peak.
The assault took place in a heavy fog which prevented a column of Allied tanks from giving the riflemen close support with heavy guns. It was the heaviest action along the 155-mile battlefront.
South Korean 9th division troops attacked the peak at 9:30 a.m. (6:30 p.m. CST Monday.) Iron Horse mountain is one of the hilt clusters being heavily contested in the old iron triumph.
Elsewhere on the Central front, American and South Korean infantrymen threw back light probing attacks.
Chiang Seeks Invasion Okay
Taipeh, Formosa—(U.P.)—Chinese Nationalist leader Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek today urged the United States to let his U.S.-equipped troops invade Red China.
Chiang told a press conference he agrees with the Koumintang party that such an invasion by his forces is the only means of halting Communist aggregation in Asia.
The Nationalist leader also endorsed creation of a Pacific counterpart of the North Atlantic treaty organization.
The free peoples of the world, Chiang said, must bury their enemies and unite in a solid front against "the one and only enemy, Soviet Russia."
Early in the Korean war Chiang offered to send 30,000 of his troops to Korea to fight with UN forces. And suggestions repeatedly have been made in some quarters that Chiang be given a "go ahead" for an invasion of the South China coast.
ASC President Speaks to ISA
The principal reason for any organization is its continuous service to the University student, Bill Wilson, All Student Council president, told the Independent Student association last night.
Wilson suggested that University organizations should limit the number of their activities but make them good activities. He felt that the ISA deserved the support of the independent student.
It was announced that the election for the ISA representative to the ASC will be held Monday. Two booths will be open to the students in private homes. One will be in the rotunda of Strong hall and the other at the Information booth or at the Hawk's Nest.
David Treadway, college senior,
announced that plans are under way
for an ISA toys drive. A definite
date has not yet been set, but it will
be held sometime in November.
Reno, Nev.—(U.P.)—Louis Edmund Blair, who was released after seven days of questioning in connection with the murder of a man and three children, said today he "trusted in the Lord."
Suspect Released After Lie Test
"He knew I was innocent," Blair said.
"I do not blame the police for investigating me," the Chester, Calif. theater owner said, "they have a tough job ahead of them."
The 37-year-old Blair was released by court order yesterday after authorities reported a lie detector test had proved "inconclusive."
Chandler Back from Vacation
H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education, has returned to his position as director of the Teacher Appointment bureau following a month's leave. Mr. Chandler annually takes his vacation in the fall because he does the greater part of the appointment work in the summer.
Paris — (U.P) — Premier Antoine Pinay's government faced possible collapse today unless it throws its full weight behind the European Army plan—a keystone of U.S. foreign policy in Europe.
Pinay Group Faces Crisis
The French crisis over ratification of the European Defense Community treaty—which would form a single six-nation European army under North Atlantic Treaty Organization control—was brought about by Pierre-Henri Teigen, president of the Popular Republican movement.
Teitgen, whose party is a member of the Pinay coalition, demanded Pinay's government state flatly whether it is for or against the European Army treaty as it now stands.
"The present situation cannot continue" the MRP head said. "Either the premier and his government are entirely behind Minister of National Defense Rene Pleven and Foreign Minister Robert Schuman and say so, or the government is divided and must immediately take the consequences."

Social Problems Told on Radio
Details involved in the formulation of social action were explained by Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, in a discussion of "Solving Social Problems" on a Sociology on the Air broadcast Sunday over station KLWN.
Prof. Eldridge said that there are as many social problems and social inventions in the world as there are physical problems and inventions.
He pointed out that social inventions, like mechanical inventions, are products of evolution, meet a widespread need, and that practical experimentation is the basic process in their adoption. He cited public ownership, insurance, representative government, and juvenile courts as examples of American social inventions.
Prof. Eldridge said that social scientists do not always create a social invention alone and that often they act as research workers to lay the foundations for the inventive process. Educators, jurists, or legislators work out the answers to many questions, he said.
The speaker pointed out that the process of solving social problems applies to individuals as well as to groups.
He said that a social worker has a hard problem to solve in helping a juvenile delinquent but that measures affecting a community or state requires a complicated education plan.
