Chinese Launch New Korean Push
Seoul, Korea—(U.P.)—At least 12,000 screaming, reckless Chinese Communists slammed their biggest attacks of the year against stubborn Allied infantrymen on the Korean front today
Two-thirds of the 155-mile battle line exploded into bloody fighting as the Communists struck at 35 United Nations outposts and seized seven of them from desperately resisting Allied troops.
The biggest single assault was on the western front where some 900 Chinese were slaughtered, according to dispatches from United Press war correspondent Allied artillery and troops fighting with "fists, rocks and grenades."
"It was like a human sea breaking against the hill," one officer said.
"They attacked in waves and waves," he said, "shouting and shooting wildly in every direction. The artillery was deafening."
Allied officers had no explanation for the attacks. They said they gave no indication of being the prelude to an all-out push against enemy positions. The resistance. They were too scattered to be described as a major driver.
Others speculated that the Reds might be trying to influence the truce talks or the American election campaign.
"I guess they just wanted to fight." one officer said.
Arn May Reveal Income Tax Returns
Topeka—(U.P.) —Gov. Edward F. Arn offered today to make public his state income tax returns, if his Democrat opponent, Charles Rooney, will do so simultaneously.
Mr. Rooney, in a speech at Pratt, Kan., said that Kansans were "entitled" to know details of the governor's finances and income "for the last 10 years, just as other candidates for higher offices in this campaign are doing."
The governor said, "I have always paid my income taxes. I suppose I have my returns from the last 20 years."

Museum Staff Imitate Mother Nature
Bv JERRY KNUDSON
Mother nature. would be astonished to see how quickly a museum staff can create full-grown "trees"
At the Museum of Natural History in Dyche hall two large trees are now "taking root" as part of a tropical exhibit to be added to the panorama of North American animals on the main floor.
The completed exhibit, about 15 by 20 feet, will portray a tropical scene along a river. It will include a tapir, some white-lipped pecarries, small tropical deer, tropical birds, and smaller animals.
The tropical deer, known as brocket, are only about one-third the size of white-tailed deer in this country. Dr. Baker said.
Two expeditions, the first to southern Veracruz in Mexico during January and February of 1531, and the other to Panama in April and May this year, gathered animal and plant specimens, photographs, and other research data for the exhibit.
Actual work on the exhibit was begun about Sept. 1. George Young, taxidermist, is supervising the construction and Victor Hogg, accessories technician, is building the trees.
Sam Dickenson, staff artist, accompanied the Canal zone group to investigate environment for reference in painting the background on which he is now working.
Upright two-by-fours make up the framework for the trunks, and vertically spaced formers provide the irregular form. The two-by-fours are lathed, screened, and then plastered. The second coat of plaster is modeled and painted to resemble bark, and subsidiary branches and leaves are then added.
In the foreground will be a giant fig, and a strangler-fig vine will curve around the other trunk in the background. This vine grows right into the trunk of a tree and eventually strangles it, the huge vine then forming a tree, Mr. Young said.
Several palms and other luxuriant tropical vegetation also will be included. Possibly 100,000 leaves will
TREES FROM TREES—Making a tree from a tree is the problem George Young, taxidermist, has undertaken for the new section to the diorama in the museum of natural history.

be needed for the exhibit, Mr. Young estimated. As many as 2,500 are needed for a single branch, he said.
These are made in the workshop on the top floor of Dyche in a complicated but fascinating manner. Impressions of the real leaves are taken in wet plaster; linotype metal molds are made of these, and then a hydraulic pressure or heat press stamps the impression in acetate cellulose.
The leaves are then hand-trimmed with scissors; wire stems are cemented to them, and they are either formed into sprays or attached directly to the wood branches.
Large palm fronds must be hand-formed from a heavy paper, Mr. Young said. The leaves, once attached, are painted with air brushes although veining and "wooden" portions must be hand-painted.
This exhibit, when finished in about 1/2 years, will complete the North American life-zones of the panorama, which begins with an arctic scene to the right of the entrance and progresses to scenes farther south as one views the panorama from right to left.
