EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Sunday, Oct. 7 (P) Signs of an impending pitched battle in western Korea, more than 35 miles north of Seoul, were reported today by a U.S. First Cavalry Division staff officer.

The huge, structure and its equipment, now practically ready for operation, and the thousands of acres around it needed for security purposes, will be included in the purchase by the government.

The Hughes company, it is understood, will ernment for the duration ot its defense contracts. During the period of government ownership the plant, its equipment and the land acquired by the government will be removed from the tax rolls of Pima county and the school district. First news of the change came Friday noon in an off-the- record luncheon given by Lewis Dougias, chairman of the board of the Southern Arizona Bank and Trust for Gen. Ira Eaker, vice president of the Hughes Aircraft company, and about 50 Tucson business men.

6. (JP) Congress generally refused to get fi government is negotiating for the purchase of the multi-million dollar development and for thousands of acres around it, needed for security purposes. (Ellinwood photo) This aerial photo shows the vast, half-million-square-foot Howard Hughes electronics manufacturing plant now nearing completion south of the municipal airport. The Rep. Harold A.

Patten, of Arizona, when contacted in Washington by phone last night said: "Plans for the operation of the Hughes plant, in Tucson, by the defense department upon completion of the construction are in the making at this time. "I am vigorously opposed to this action, because the people of Tucson were given to understand that this operation was to be privately financed and operated by the Aircraft Division of the Hughes Tool company, first as a war plant, for the manufacture of electronic missiles, and then, after its defense contracts were fulfilled, as a civilian manufacturing plant in the field of electronics. "In addition, once the plant becomes government property and a defense project, will the people of Tucson have assurance of a continuing operation at the end of the emergency, or will they face the possibility of a huge gov-ernment factory without a peacetime business as occurred in many similar situations following World War II?" Construction Tucson Told $15 Million Program in Nearly 1,600 new dwelling ping center costing a total of $15,200,000 will be erected in Tucson within the next year by two home building firms, it was learned yesterday. The projects will provide employ ment for more than 500 workmen and provide a payroll of General Eajter told these men the details of the new plan, but requested that the story be kept secret until negotiations are completed. Yesterday the story spread so rapidly that the company officials through Axel Johnson, Tucson plant manager, issued a pumic statement admitting the change and explaining how it came about.

Truman Invites Iranian Premier To Visit in D. C. TEHRAN, Iran, Oct. ft (JP) Premier Mohammed Mossadegh today received a personal invitation from President Truman to visit him in Washington during Mossadegh's forthcoming trip to the United States. The invitation came as Mossadegh prepared to leave tomorrow for Xew York for the United Xations security council's debate on Iran's oil dispute ith Britain.

Deputy Premier Hussein Fa-temi told newsmen the invitation was delivered by U.S. Ambassador Loy Henderson today. The President's action raised the possibility that Truman himself would attempt to get the aging Iranian into new negotiations with the British, whose, $1,400,000,000 Anglo-Iranian Oil company properties have been taken over by Iran. The President sent his special envoy, W. Averell Harriman, to Iran last July in the hope of obtaining a settlement which would keep the Iranian industry operating and oil flowing to the west.

But the Harriman-initiated negotiations broke down. In a speech at his departure, Mossadegh said he was asking "God to give me success." more than $30,000 a week Sam and Jack Hoffman who op erate the F. and S. Construction company, Phoenix, have announced the start of a development for 1,200 homes on a tract of land one mile west of the Municipal airport. Three model homes at the intersection of Verona and San Xavier roads were started last week.

Jack Hoffman said yesterday. This pro ject will cost S10 million Rental Project Plan At the same time Edward E. Smotkin, president of American Homes association, which has already built 503 homes in the Tucson area, announced that 19(3 duplexes will be built on an 80-acre tract lying west of Swan road and between 17th and 22nd streets. This project will cost $3,200,000, and is expected to be completed in six months. It is a strictly rental project and none of the homes will be for sale.

Smotkin said the duplexes will be of red brick construction, each comprising a three-bedroom and a two-bedroom unit. The larger units Gen. Eaker had said that his company opposed making any change, and wanted to continue under the original plan, but that the air force, was insistent on assuming full responsibility by ownership. He was particularly anxious for the people of Tucson to understand that Hughes will manage the operation and that the Hughes company will carry out its housing commitments, and that at the end of work on defense contracts the company expects to reacquire the plant for peace time electronics work. "The present negotiations," Johnson said, "will not effect in any way the long range plans for the Hughes plant, but announcement Russia is testing A-bombs.

One member of the atomic com mittee urged a vast expansion of the atomic program in light of Russian developments, but others willing to be quoted said present American plans are adequate. Except in Russia, which heard about the latest Soviet explosion for the first time today and re acted wnn considerable pride, a "so what" attitude seemed to prevail among those who had already heard President Truman break the news Wednesday. News Credited No doubt was expressed that an atomic explosion had occurred and that Russia was testing new weapons. But recent information about U. S.

developments has been about a huge stockpile, perfection of new-weapons, plans for new uses. Gordon Dean, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) chairman, recently told the senate appropria tions committee that "we have a very substantial number of (atomic) bomb3." Also, he said, "we have a tactical capability which is very impressive, and when I say tactical, I am not talking about the type of weapon; I am talking about the use of the weapons. It can be used against men in the field, and against military targets." Control System The major interest in Stalin's announcement was centered around the possibility it may lead to another great power effort to work out international atomic controls, and even this was taken with a grain of salt. Stalin mentioned such controls, saving they were being blocked by the U. Many believed Stalin's announcement was packed with more propaganda than facts.

What the propaganda will lead to remains uncertain. But diplomatic sources here anticipate the next move will be made at the impending United N'a- (Continued on Page 14-A, Col. 1) Amazing Giants Winners Again NEW YORK, Oct. 6. (JP) The amazing New York Giants who came from the depths to win the National League pennant walloped the New York Yankees 6-2 today to take a two-game-to-one lead in the World Series of baseball.

The victory put Leo Durocher's miracle team in the favored position to go on to win the best four-out-of-seven series, as tomorrow the Giants will have ready their ace pitcher, Sal Maglie. The Yankees, on the other hand, have seen their two stars, Allie Reynolds and Vic Raschi, pounded into submission. Johnny Sain, National League castoff, will try to get the Yanks back in the running. (See Page 5-B for details). the daw Allied tanks and infantry- men were on the alert.

At dawn, American guns began laying down a barrage of white phosphorous and high explosive shells over the crags of the Yon-chon valley where Chinese Reds were massed. Last night U.S. First Cavalry troops and Greek infantrymen beat off heavy Chinese attacks in a night-long grenade and bayonet action north of Yonchon, a pooled dispatch reported. Objectives Taken Allied forces, driving the Chinese Reds before them, seized most of their objectives Saturday in their 100.000-man western offensive. Thev had driven from four to five miles deep into the lines which the Communists had set up on the northern approaches to Seoul.

TOKYO, Sunday, Oct. 7. JP) A new Red message on the suspended cease-fire talks in Korea was sent Gen. Matthew B. Ridg-way today by the Reds' Korean war commanders.

The message from North Korean Kim II Sung and Chinese Red Gen. Peng Teh-huai was handed to Allied liaison officers in West Korea's Kaesong neutral zone at 3 p.m. (1 a.m. EST). Contents of the note were not disclosed immediately.

The message was believed to be a reply to Ridgway's three-day-old suggestion that the Reds name a new location in a no-man's-land for resumption of the talks. The Reds broke off the talks atKaesong Aug. 23 and have kept them suspended while making a series of charges that Allied troops and planes violated the zone. Earlier the Reds rejected Ridgway's suggestion that the talks be resumed in a no-man's land near Songhyon, six miles southeast of Kaesong. The U.

S. Third Division, which had punched a breach in the enemy lines in the west, reported little contact with the Communists west and northwest of Chorwon. This was east of the First Cavalry's front, which was receiving some shelling Saturday night as its own artillery blasted away at the enemy. 'Heartbreak Ridge' Won In the east, American and French troops stormed the uncompromising slopes of "Heartbreak Ridge" and won its commanding peak. Twice previously, in three weeks of bloody fighting, they had taken the height only to be" hurled off.

In far northwest Korea, some 200 miles behind the Red front, 33; U.S. jets slashed into three times as many Russian-t3pe MIG-15s. One American plane was shot down. The air force reported one Red fighter probably was destroyed and two were damaged. Officer Optimistic An Eighth Army headquarters Officer said Saturday night that "it looks as if our offensive is nearly over.

"It looks as if the actions now wall be reaction on the part of the Communists." Earlier, Maj. Gen. Robert H. Soule said his U.S. Third Division In its three-day drive had breached the main Communist line northwest of Chorwon in west-central Korea.

Chorwon, 17 miles north of parallel 38, is at the southwest corner of the old Communist "Iron Triangle" formed by Kumhwa in the east and Pyonggang in the north. The Chinese had withdrawn from many of their strong bunkers in the roiling hills. Of those who chose to fight, the Third Division killed 588, wounded 5S2 and captured 35 in the first two days. The Third Division and the U.S. First Cavalry Division now stand deep in the staging area used by the Reds in past offensives toward Seoul, battle-battered old capital of the Korean Republic.

Return Clause "A portion of the negotiation involves the return to the Hughes management of the plant at that time for operation for peacetime purposes. The buildup of the plant and its operation will not be changed, but if anything it will be accelerated." The company will carry out its contracts on critical equipment in a plant temporarily owned by the government. "This new plan of operation," Johnson explained, "was brought about by a change in the la whicji permits the defense department to assist in the financing of operations involving the manufacture of critical weapons and equipment for use in the defense effort.

"In taking over this operation the government will also take over all of the commitments made by the Hughes company pertaining, to utilities and other services. The land required by the defense department for security reasons will be turned over by the Hughes company, as wHl any acreage the company has purchased if the government wishes it for other purposes," Johnson said.

S. senate appropriations commission yesterday approved allocating for a flood diversion channel here, but the long-awaited money will probably not be usable even if voted by Congress.

It is presumed tobe- intended for the seven-mile channel proposed to be built south of the city. That idea has been abandoned by the county board of supervisors in favor of a combination detention basin and smaller channel which can be built cheaper. Xo Comment Yet J. Homer Boyd, chairman of the board of supervisors, said yesterday he can not comment on the $750,000 allocation until he talks to representatives of the army engineers. He thought it likely that it was intended for the original channel and did not know if the money could be diverted to the revised plan.

Boyd said the new plan will be followed unless someone can convince the board that it won't work. Prefers Xew Plan He added that the original idea has nothing in its favor when compared with the new plan, announced last Monday. He pointed out that even with federal aid the first plan would be more expensive. The county would have to acquire rights-of-way for the seven-mile dike. The revised plan calls for construction of a detention basin at Country Club and Indian School roads on lands now held by Hughes Tool company.

It would be served by a one-and-one-half-mile ditch starting near Davis-Monthan air force base and running southwesterly. It is believed the basin could be finished before next summer while the original dike might take years to build. KHEE COXFIDEXT PUS AX, Korea, Oct. 6 (IP) South Korean President Syngman Rhee said Fridav that the Korean war is almost won and predicted that his troops would march to the Yalu river and stay to defend that northern boundarv. Rhee made his statement in a speech during a visit to a new South Korean army school under construction at Kwangju, 125 miles west of this provisional capital.

Arizona completed only four of 12 passes for SO yards that boosted the Cats' total offense to a lengthy 401 yards. West Texas'- net gain was only 242 yarcLs. The Wildcats might easily have routed West Texas last night, but for a stuttering first half, in which hey scored once out of five drives. The only score came with four minutes left in the first half with Storch driving over from 11 yards Secretary Byrnes Said Soviets Obstinate, Difficult to Scare One of Forrestal's more casual diary notes gives an interesting sidelight on President Truman: 20 December 1916 The President.

Last night the President came to dinner with Secretary of State Byrnes, Averell Harriman and a few others. Before dinner I showed him a copy of the New Republic, which I said I was going to give Jimmy Byrnes for Christmas. In it was a caricature of Senator Taft with a picture units and a $2 million shop will rent for $90.50 and the smaller units for $79.50 per month. The project will have paved streets with curjs and gutters, and will also have sewers, which will be tied into the sanitary district lines. I Shopping Center American Homes association will also erect the S2 million shopping extending for a quarter- mile west of Swan road on each side of Plans for this huge business district await negotiations with the Xational Production Authority, Smotkin said.

The shopping center will contain a large recreational facility, supermarket, department store, plenty of parking space and stoy space for numerous goods and service establishments. Smotkin said the home building project ill emplov about 300 men, with a payroll of" about $30,000 a week. Work has already been started and will be completed in about six months. The project will make available 392 new modern rental units of the size now in greatest demand for incoming industrial workers. Sale-and-Build Idea The Hoffman project is for prospective home Jack Hoffman described the operation as a sale-and-build plan.

"We have selected the south side for this new development," Hoffman said, "and have room for some 1,200 homes on a tract of 3(i0 acres. The homes will be built on lots 70 by 110 feet. We expect to open the sale of homes in about two weeks, and we shall build them as rapidly as they are sold. We hope to get into production by Xov. 1." Hoffman said the company would be able to complete four homes daily when in full production.

A force of 2o0 workmen will be employed, with a payroll of about a week. If the demand is sufficient and the labor can be secured, Hoffman said, the production can be doubled, and the project can be completed within a year. Choice of Types The company will build three types of homes, according to the choice of the owners, Hoffman said. There will be a two-bedroom home built to sell at S6.500, a three-bedroom home at $8,000, and and the deluxe brick construction home, such as has been built in the Hoffman subdivision, which will sell for $11,000. Thus is the second project undertaken by the Hoffmans in Tucson.

The first is the Hoffman subdivision on Broadway east of Swan road, which is now practically com pleted and occupied. The Hoffmans have now selected the south side to bring their new project within convenient distance to the Hughes and Grand Central plants. The new building site can be reached via San Xavier road from the Xogales highway. It will have FHA financing, and the Hoffmans hope also to have Veterans Admin istration financing for veterans who want to own homes jn the area. Space in the development is being reserved for a half-million- dollar shopping center.

The President laughed at the caricature of Senator Taft but expressed himself that it was not in good taste and an impropriety to caricature an ex-President who is dead. (I make note of this because it served to strengthen the impression I have had of the President's traditionalism and his sense of the importance of sustaining the dignity of government.

His remarks to the commission on universal training this morning reflected much of the same feeling, plus a deep and obviously very sincere devotion to the government and the people of the country.)

They piled up most of the yardage as the Wildcats gained a net of 327-yards via the old-fash ioned method of lugging the pigskin. The Wildcats, hitting poorly in the first half, saved their passes for opportune moments late in the game. The Wildcats went on power marches of 72, 64, 59 and 92 yards to score. And the Cats struck their particular dynamite through the bulkiest part of the well-rated West Texas line.

Arizona employed power plavs over the tackles and quick smashes over the guard as i i about two years ago when he chided me for being too extreme in my views about the Russians when I told him that (when) he harbored the illusion that he could talk in the same fashion with the Russians that he could with the Republican opposition in the senate he was very much mistaken. At that time I told him that when he spoke, so to speak, using language in a third dimension, the Russians spoke in a fourth, and there was no stairway. Emphasis on Class Byrnes said the whole Russian system was shot through with great emphasis on class and rank.
