Arthur E. Summerfield, Republican National Chairman, said today the split among Democrats was so wide Adlai E. Stevenson could not get Congressional support for most of the policies he advocates. He said the "moderate and conservative bloc" of the Democratic Party in Congress had voted consistently against President Truman's policies. "Mr.

Truman's hand picked candidate is not only following his mentor's party line, but according to one Democratic spokesman after another, is moving even farther to the left," Summerfield said. He charged that the split in the Democratic Party had widened because of Stevenson's "attempt to get liberal votes in the big cities' and because he "called upon the ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) to run his campaign." "While the Republican Party is united," Summerfield said, "the Democrat split has widened and will widen still more." mount Park Guard and Motor wooded section of Fairmount jnent ave.

Sept. 14 (UP). -A four-alarm fire destroyed a stable at Belmont Park tonight on the eve of the famed Long Is land track's autumn opening, killing 23 valuable horses and In uring an heroic groom. Twelve firemen were overcome by smoke before the blaze was brought under control.

They were treated at the 6cene. The burned barn, number 36, was adjacent to a barn that burned down last June killing one man and 22 thoroughbreds in a $1,000,000 blaze. The fire started at 7:40 P. M. in the 30-year-old, 50-stall bam.

Track officials said 22 horses were burned to death in the building and one more was so badly burned it had to be destroyed. 25 HORSES SAVED Robert Kelly, Belmont official, said 25 horses were led to safety by their valiant grooms as the roaring flames destroyed tne entire middle section and one end of the barn. Forty-eight horses were in the barn when the fire started, Kelly said. Veteran horsemen said a con-servative estimate of the loss in horseflesh alone would run up wards of $200,000. Kelly put the barn's value at $150,000 for a total loss of more than $350,000.

BIG IF DESTROYED Among the horses destroyed was Big If, well known stake horse owned by J. T. Maloney, three other Maloney horses, and four horses being trained by Willie Knapp, famous horseman who as a jockey in 1919 rode Upset to victory against Man-O'-War in the great stallion's only defeat. Albert Patterson, a groom of Long Branch, N. was in the barn when the fire broke out.

"We had just finished watering the horses when I looked up and the place was lit up like Coney Island. I grabbed an extinguisher but I realized it was too late. So I started lugging out horses." Patterson was able to save only two horses. He said Starmount Stables' Primate, a veteran stake horse, and Navy Page, owned by E. P.

Taylor, were among those saved. Mike Novick, a groom, was taken to Nassau County Hospital suffering burns after braving the flames in the barn to rescue three horses, Horace HcitH Traps Suspect MALTBU, Sept. 14 (AP). BANDLEADER Horace Heidt is a pretty handy man with a baton. Sheriffs deputies said today he's a handy man with a hatchet, too.

Heidt told deputies this happened: He was in his home at this beach resort near Los Angeles last night when a stranger rang the doorbell. The man asked for someone Heidt didn't know, and left when informed no such person lived there. THEN Heidt noticed his keys were missing from a table near the door. Anticipating a return visit, the bandleader turned out the lights, armed himself with a hatchet, and settled down for a wait. When, an hour later, he saw a figure stealth uy approacning rus parked car, Heidt leaped out, brandishing the hatchet.

There was a 100-yard chase down the moonlit beach highway. Heidt caught the fugitive, threw him to the ground, and held him at hatchet point until the law arrived. xjeputies ldentined tne man as Eugene T. McMahan, 40, of nearby Glendale. They said they found Heidt's keys in McMahan's pocket along with a $30 check bearing the name of Mrs.

Adeline Heidt. She divorced the bandleader last Sept. 26, but the decree is not yet final. Navy Planes Hit City Near Russia; Jets Get 3 MIGs TOKYO, Sept. 15 (Monday) (UP) Navy fighter-bombers attacked Hoeryong, on the Manchurian bord er and only 40 miles from Russia Sunday, in the second strike in two days against the big Communist in dustrial center.

The Hoeryong raid was the third hammer-blow dealt the Commun ists Sunday by the United Nations Air Force. Sabrejets knocked down three MIG-15s, and B-29 superior! resses blasted a "ripe" supply area near Pyongyang, capital of North Korea. Hoeryong was attacked for the first time Saturday by carrier planes from the same task force that swept over the city yesterday. FROM TWO CARRIERS Other carrier fighter-bombers hit Chongjin on the far northeastern coast of Korea, while planes from the USS Princeton and Bon Homme Richard were blasting several ware houses, a power plant, a cement factory and. a carbide plant at Hoeryong.

Large oil storage tanks and an ore loading station, five buildings and three warehouses were de stroyed. At Changjin, the Navy fliers de stroyed seven factory buildings, six warehouses and a railroad turntable Both targets are vital points on the route of supply from Manchuria and Russia into North Korea. Joint Trieste Rule Favored by Tito BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Sept. 14 (UP). Marshal Tito said today he favored a joint administration for Trieste rather than a partitioning of the free territory between Yugosla via and Italy.

The Yugoslav leader said a parti tion would have a negative effect and might impair Yugoslavia's fu ture relations with Italy, the Tan jug news agency reported. Tito, in an address in the Slovene town of Dolenjske Toplice, said that despite the dispute over Trieste Italy and Yugoslavia should coop erate. Patrol Roads 3 Fugitives -Sought In Bethlehem Area; 5 States Watched Illustrated on Page 3 Three heavily armed despera does, who have left a trail of terror across Southeastern Pennsyl vania since their escape from the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary last Wednesday, were still at large last night despite the, Na tion's biggest manhunt since the days of John Dillinger and Alvin Karpis. With armed posses patrolling highways in a five-State area, cen ter of the search swung back to the Allentown-Bethlehem section at noon yesterday when an earlier re port proved false that the three men had been seen across the Pennsyl vania-Maryland border in Pen-Mar, As reports came into the Bethle hem State police barracks that the three men were seen in that area, the manhunt was intensified there All road-blocks and patrols, along with Civil Air Patrol planes and local police, were alerted over the special radio network that has been in operation since the manhunt started. BELIEVED HIDING OUT Arthur Cornelius, agent in charge of the Philadelphia FBI announced that there was a strong i belief that the men were hiding out in tne Auentown-Bethlehem sec tion.

At that time there had been no definite signs of the fueitives whereabouts for 36 hours. There is nothing concrete to in dicate they have gotten out of this area," Cornelius said. He conceded, however, that it was possible the men had stolen another car and traveled elsewhere. At about the same time a nniirp alert was sent out for a 1950 maroon btuaebaker Champion bearing the Pennsylvania license number A6196. The car was stolen near Allentown Saturday and 24 hours later had not been recovered.

SEARCH ON IN POCONOS All highways in Pennsylvania and Maryland were under heaw guard and three-man patrols cov ered secondary roads in a desperate effort to halt the string of crimes that the three men have staged since they scaled the penitentiary wall in an early morning fog six days ago. Meanwhile Bethlehem State police Continued on Page 9, Column 5 Headline Hopping By Ollie Crawford BETTY GRABLE suspended for rejecting dramatic role. Betty thinks they're mistaking her for Bette. She let them know that when the role is called up yonder, she won't be there. Betty's theory Is that she didnt take music lessons just to yell "Heathcliff." She may not win any Oscars, but she's in solid with Tom, Dick and Harry.

The studio may have a fine argument, but nobody can say Betty hasn't a leg to stand on. She's convinced that all foxes are smart, except 20th Century-Fox. With everything Betty has, they want her to display her dramatic ability. The studio has been too busy with the bookkeeping and overlooked the figure. They've learned all the angles, and missed the curves.

Betty needs drama like Olivia needs tights. Grable doesn't need heavy roles, just light costumes. After all, she knows there aren't many pin-up pictures around of Ethel Barrymore.

14. As he headed West to begin a 12-day swing through 10 Midwest and Middle Atlantic States, Dwight D. Elsenhower declared tonight his opposition to the Administration's controversial Federal medicarcare scheme. In a statement issued in response, as he said, to a number of requests concerning his stand on compulsory health insurance, Eisenhower turned thumbs down on a "Federally operated and controlled system of medical care, which is what the Administration's compulsory health insurance scheme is in fact." WOULD KILL INCENTIVES The nominee said that compulsory health insurance vigorously opposed by the American Medical Associationwould destroy the voluntary relationship between doctor and patient, kill the medical profession's incentives for progress and achievement, and substitute for individual medical care "regimented, assembly line treatment" under "government bureaucratic control." As an alternative to a federal health system, Eisenhower offered "voluntary insurance plans, with locally administered indigent medical care programs for those unable to participate." Refreshed by a three-day break after his whirlwind 6300-mile air tour of the South and the Midwest, Eisenhower left New York at 5:10 P. M.
