VACCARO Washington (JP) President Truman sets out tonight on an 15-day campaign trip in which he will try to convince voters it would be "dangerous" to put the Republicans into power. It is his first strictly-political major whistle-stop tour of the 1952 presidential campaign.

In the same area near Chorwon, hand-to-hand combat flared as U.S. Second Division soldiers killed or wounded 33 Chinese in a pre-dawn raid, the Eighth Army said. Big Buildings Level Allied fighter-bomber pilots reported seven large buildings lev- eled and six others heavily damaged in an attack on a Red military headquarters less than 35 miles south of Manchuria. Other warplanes hurled bombs and rockets on targets near-Sari won, Namchonjom, Haeju, Changymn and Yonan.

Eisenhower wound up with a roaring salute from Dixie and a near mishap here Friday night a campaign trip his managers pronounced "perfect." The Republican presidential nominee has 3 days off to write speeches and get what rest he can before flying- to Columbia, S.C., to renew his forays into the Democratic South before embarking on a long train trip west. Eisenhower's special train arrived in New York from Richmond at 8:05 a.m. today. The general conferred with aides in the train for, half an hour and then left by auto for his home on the Columbia University campus. He returned with the cheers of Virginians.

Twenty-thousand of them, massed on the Virginia statehouse lawn in Richmond, howled their approval when he asserted that Senator Harrv F. Byrd more nearly represents their opinion than the Truman "Fair Deal" and added: "Nobody owns you." After he had completed his speech and was walking down a wooden ramp, Eisenhower was caught in the crush of a crowd surging toward him. Suddenly the ramp cracked and crashed to the caDitol steps a few feet be low. The Republican nominee was tossed forward on his knees and Senator William F. Knowland, walking alongside, grabbed him and keDt him from falling.

Straightening up and brushing off his suit, Eisenhower grinned and said he was not hurt. A score of people went down with the ramp but none was reported more than scratched. Lou Dueli, asen hnwpr'a bodveuard. received: a skinned ankle. Eisenhower's Richmond address climaxed a day of whistle-stop appearance at Charlotte and Winston-Salem, N.C., and Roanoke, Lynchburg and Petersburg, Va.

This ended 12 days of intensive campaigning before large crowds in the Midwest and South a drive Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas, an Eisenhower manager, pronounced "just perfect." Everywhere he went, smiling crowds turned out, shouting the I Like Ike" chant. In all, report ers figured that about 140,000 persons turned out to see the Republican nominee in his second invasion of Dixie. Eisenhower's bid for North Carolina's 14 electoral votes and Virginia's 12 was pitched primarily on the theme that he can "clean out the mess in Washing ton," whereas no Democrat could do much about it. He had large and enthusiastic crowds much larger in Rich-, mond, for instance, than Governor Adlai Stevenson, his Demo cratic opponent. But there remained some doubt about how much of a dent he had made in the traditional Democratic voting majorities, Bullet Makes Boy Big Shot of Class Ballston Spa (JP) A ber bullet has made 4-year-old Ricky Mattrazzo the big shot of his kindergarten- class.

When Rickey complained 3 weeks ago that something had struck him behind the ear while he was playing, his mother treated what looked like a scratch. The scratch did not clear up and early this week it still pained him. A doctor prescribed a hot pack. Thursday night the cause of the lad's pain came to the surface. Friday the doctor removed the bullet.

Flaws Observed In Jobless Law Saranac Inn (JP) Two indus trial spokesmen see "flaws in New York's revised unemploy ment insurance law, but they agree additional cnanges snouid put it in order. The praise and suggestions for revision were voiced Friday at the 37th annual meeting of the Associated Industries of New York State, by Martin F. Hilfinger, president and general manager of the group, and Russell L. Hibbard, director of unemployment compensation activities of the General Motors Cor poration. To Be Told Chicago (JP) The names of contributors and recipients of Governor Adlai E.

Stevenson's special fund were listed in a statement given reporters today by the Illinois governor. The names, however, were not to be made public until tonight. At the same time, the governor issued a statement to the reporters in connection with the fund which he promoted to supple ment Illinois salaries. The state ment also was not to be made public until tonight. Three state officials appointed by the Illinois governor already have desclosed they were benefi ciaries of the controversial expense fund.

Several other State Department heads have denied receiving extra compensation from the salary-supplementing fund which Stevenson acknowledged several days ago. At that time, he defended the setup and said there was nothing secretive or improper about it. However, continued political charges stemming from the fund appeared to have prompted the Democratic presidential candidate to announce he would disclose the names of those who contributed and benefited. Feared Break of Faith Earlier he had declined to name the donors, saying that such a dis closure would amount to a "breach of faith." The gifts, he said, were given to supplement incomes of persons he had iry duced to leave private employ ment to take state positions at lower salaries. 3 Chicago newspapers have con tinued to publish new details about the fund.

The Chicago Daily News said it polled 15 per sons it described at "present and former bigwigs" and said they denied receiving any extra pay from the special fund. The Tribune said today that 8 of the 10 members of Stevenson's state cabinet of department directors denied they got extra compensation or gifts. The direc tors each are paid $10,000 a year. Aide Gets 'Yule Gift J. Edward Day, state director of insurance, said Friday he re ceived a "Christmas gift" from Stevenson.

But he declined to say when and how much. Earlier, Fred Hoehler, state welfare director, and Walter Schaeffer, a justice of the Illinois Supreme Cqurt, said they received Christmas gifts. Schaefer. first appointed to the Supreme Court by Stevenson and later elected, said he had re ceived $500 from the governor in 1950. Hoehler declined to say how much money was included in the two Christmas gifts he said he received from the governor.

Caslimore Defends Korean War Syracuse (JP) John Cash- i more, Democratic canaiaie- ior U.S. senator, said today tne Korean war may have saved the United States from a costlier conflict with Russia. Cashmore, Brooklyn borough president, spoke at a luncheon of the Onondaga County Women's Democratic Club. Cashmore said Communist ag- i xi gression and miiauon were me two greatest dangers facing the nation. He said the two problems were linked, and had forced Americans to maintain two one for defense and another for peace.

Cashmore's opponents in the election are U.S. Senator Irving M. Ives, Republican candiate, and Dr. George S. Counts, Liberal Party nominee.

Ives Attacks Centralization New York (JP) Senator Irv ing M. Ives (R-NY) says the Democratic administration in Washington seems to have "lost all faith in the ability of Americans to govern themselves at the local and state levels." The Republican U.S. Senator, who is seeking reelection, attacked concentration of power in the federal government in an address Friday night at a Bronx rally. Mr. Truman will argue that "isolationists" dominate Republi can pilocy and a GOP victory would endanger hopes for world peace.

One of the general issues of government corruption charges, plus the Nixon and Stevenson campaign iund luror, Mr. lru-man will remind trainside crowds that he urged legislation requir ing all higher-paid federal officials and members of Congress to make public their outside income and its sources. To Recall Failure He also will recall Congress's failure to approve reorganization plans that would have extended civil service to virtually all fed eral departments. The President leaves Washing ton at 11:30 p.m. (EDT) on a trip covering 24 states and including speeches in Buffalo and New York, two in Montana, three in Washington State, two in Califor niaj at San Francisco and Shasta Dam-at Provo, Utah, and Shenandoah, and 77 or more whistle-stop talks.

His daughter Margaret, always favorite of campaign crowds, will go along. The President's first stop will he at Pittsburgh, but he will make no speech because of his long-standing rule not to make political speeches on bunday. The following day Mr. Truman moves through Ohio and Indiana About half a dozen stops are planned along the way. Committee Pays Bill The Democratic National Com mittee is picking up the check for Mr.

Truman's strictly political tour. It is estimated the cost will be around $21,000. That will in clude 10 first-class fares for the use of the private car. There is no extra charge for the berths since the car belongs to the government. The Treasury Department will foot the bills for the Secret Service men who go along.

Their presence wherever "the President goes is required by law. Hundreds of peace officers around the country including railroad special detectives, city Dolice. hiehwav natrolmen and others will play a part in President's travels under usual security arrangements. the the Climax Near For Neiv Bible Projects By GEORGE CORNELL New York (JP) You may hear a lot of talk next week about an old book the Bible. Starting Sunday, it will be the keynote of a series of events which church authorities consider of epochal significance to religion.

On schedule: 1. Publication Monday of the first part of a new Catholic translation of the Bible, the first translation in history undertaken by the American Catholic clergy. 2. Publication Tuesday of a new, complete revision of the King James Version, marking the culmination of a 15-year interdenominational Protestant project. 3.

Publication Tuesday of volume one of the "Interpreter's Bible," the third of 12 massive volumes issued thus far as a result of a $1 million program to compile all modern knowledge of the scriptures. Churchmen term the simultaneous release of the new works one of the greatest events in all biblical publishing history. It comes on the 500th anniversary of the Gutenberg Bible the first book even printed from movable type. The Post Office Department, on Tuesday, is issuing a special stamp commemorating this first printed Bible. Sunday also marks the beginning of Bible Week observations for Catholics, Protestants and Jews.

Observations are slated throughout the period, proclaimed by President Truman and most state governors. sial "Illinois The Democratic presidential nominee also teed off in the Hoosier State on Republican Senator William E. Jen- ner of Indiana; Dwight D. Eisenhower and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio.

Stevenson pictured Jenner as "a man" who slanders one of our greatest patriots and deprecates in ugly words the gallantry and sacrifice of Korea and the fight for freedom and peace." Jenner has called Gen. George C. Marshall a "front man for traitors." Eisenhower, Stevenson said, is an inexperienced hand who can't "move in and work miracles with a meat axe or with mirrors" to cut federal spending. Senator Taft, Stevenson suggested would write the labor laws and "conduct our foreign policy" in the event of a Republican victory in November. Plans Political Picnic Today, down in Kentucky, Stevenson had a political picnic on schedule at Vicepresident Bark-ley's home outside Paducah.

On tap, too, were a brief talk at the courthouse square in Paducah, and a double-feature presenting both Barkley and Stevenson in speaking roles tonight at Memorial Auditorium in Louisville. Stevenson's speech was billed as a foreign policy address. The Illinois governor lit into Taft by name in an informal talk Friday afternoon at Evansville, Ind. He went after Republican presidential nominee Eisenhower and Senator Jenner but not by name in a formal address Friday night to a full-house crowd of at the Fairgrounds Coliseum in Indianapolis. Into the Indianapolis address, Stevenson injected this reference to the fund he has used to supple-, ment the pay of a number of top officials of his state administration in Illinois: "I don't have much chance to read the newspapers these days, but I understand there's a lot of curiosity about some help I gave to some good people in Illinois.

"I hope my reputation isn't involved, because if it's a crime to help some good people in the government of Illinois, then I'm guilty." Disclosure Held Over Stevenson held over until today his promised disclosure of who contributed and who was helped by the fund a sum left over from his 1948 gubernatorial campaign and expanded by subse quent donations. The decision to name names was a direct reversal of the Democratic candidate's earlier stand that it would be a "breach of faith" for him to do so. The switch followed daily Republican demands that he tell the people about' the fund unless he had something to hide. For the most part, the Indianapolis speech was given over to presenting a five-point program for economy in government. Stevenson sketched it in detail, then summed it up: "First, get tight-fisted executives; second, give them the authority to run their organizations efficiently: third, scrutinize ap propriation requests with a cold and penetrating eye; fourth, spend appropriations frugally; fifth, don't do in Washington what can be done in Indianapolis, and don't ask Uncle Sam to bridge Catbird Creek if you can help it." GE to Resist Union Terms New York (JP) A General Electric Company official says his company "will have to take the strike" rather than give in to what he described as an ultimatum from the CIO International Union of Electrical Workers.

And the head of the union, who denies that there has been any strike ultimatum, says he and negotiators would resign their union offices rather than accept a company offer. These two positions, expressed Friday after a federal mediation session, showed how tightly deadlocked were contract negotiations between the company and the union, which claims 71,000 emnloyes in 60 GE plants. However, an immediate strike was not considered likely in view of the union's vigorous denial of a walkout ultimatum. It may decide on a walkout Monday. GEORGE SANTAYANA Philosopher Dies Santayana, Spanish Writer, Dies Rome (JP) George philosopher and poet who ranked as one of the 20th Century great est thinkers, died Friday night in a Catholic convent.

He was 88. The brilliant Spanish writer, who spent many years in Amer ica, died in the sheltered solitude in which he had lived during the final quarter century of his life. During the last few years, age had enfeebled and shriveled him But his philosopher's mind staved sham and alert to the end. His final book and one of the most important, "Dominations and Powers," was completed and pub lished only last year. The famed philosopher was born in Madrid Dec 16, 1863, Although a Spanish subject to the end, he was thought by many to be an American since he lived in the United States from the time he was 9 until.

1911. Practically his whole life was spent outside Spain. He attended Brimmer School, Boston Latin School and Harvard University and from 1899 to 1911 was a professor of philosophy at Harvard. He then returned to Europe to lecture at Oxford Uni versity. England, and the Sor- bonne in France.

As a child Santayana chose the life of a scholar. He played no games but stayed at home, read ing and drawing. He never used a typewriter, never drove an automobile, never danced, never played a musical instrument, and never built anything. He also never married. In later years he said he once considered becoming an architect or a painter.

Santayana was best known to Americans for his only novel, The last Puritan." He once de scribed his book about life in New England as "the memoirs of my time." His autobiography, "Persons and Places," was published during World War 2. Two Hurricanes Being Watched Miami, Fla. (JP) Weather observers watched two hurricanes today, one sweeping northeastward in the Atlantic well off the Carolina Coast and another developing about 1,700 miles southeast of Miami. Hurricane "Charlie," third of the season, was kicking up a much faster pace and moving in a northeasterly direction at 25 miles per hour. Indications were that it would continue to move in that general direction for the next 12 hours.

Last night its speed was 14 to 16 miles per hour. Highest winds were about 125 miles per hour near the center, with hurricane force winds 75 miles per hour extending outward 80 to 100 miles north and east of the center. Little change in intensity was expected but the gales and hurricane force winds should slowly spread over a larger area, the Weather Bureau said in an advisory at 6 a.m. EDT. The storm was about 390 miles east-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C.

Buffalo Holds Big Defense Drill Buffalo (JP) A mock atomic bomb fell on the nations 15th city today, setting off an exten sive civil defense drill involving 22,000 volunteer workers.

'Mr. Steingut, Dies New York (JP) Irwin Steingut (D-Iib), 59, veteran minority leader of the State Assembly, died Friday of a heart attack. Death came at the Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, where he has been a patient the last 2 weeks. Steingut, known to many in the State Capitol as Democrat," served a record 22 years as Assembly minority leader.

Among his proudest achieve ments in the Legislature were the subsequent setting up of a State University for New York and pas sage of the State Unemployment Insurance He first was elected to the Assembly in 1922 from the 18th As sembly District in Kings County (Brooklyn), which had been Re publican for the preceding 10 years. The district later became one of the big Democratic strong holds in the state. Steingut was speaker of the As sembly in 1935, when the Demo crats were in control. He was elected minority leader when the late Franklin D. Roosevelt was governor and held that post continuously through the last session.

'Object' Circles Over Camp Drum Camp Drum (JP) The Air Force has no comment on an unidentified flying object that reportedly paid a half-hour visit to this Northern New York camp. Military authorities said Friday that the object hovered over the base last Monday night. The information at first had been classi fied as confidential. Eight soldiers said the object was about 20 feet across and trailed red-orange sparks. It circled rapidly and sometimes hovered, they reported.

government stood squarely behind Ambassador George F. Ken-nan today in the face of un-paralelled propaganda blast from Moscow. But officials here conceded the Kremlin might force his removal as envoy to the capital of communism. The sharp criticism was based on a Sept. 19 Berlin comment to reporters in which Kennan said, among other things, that contacts betweea Americans and Russian people in Moscow had been reduced to the zero point.

Secretary of State Acheson told a news conference Friday he considered the resulting propaganda attack wholly unjustified and improper. Without Precedent The situation was regarded by veteran State Department experts on Russia as being without precedent so far as they could recall, Considering the fact that the Soviet press reflects only views approved by the Soviet government, they estimated the violence of the attack as sufficient to indicate a demand for Kennan's removal should the criticism be con-1 tinued. Should he be ousted, it was unclear whether the United States would force the withdrawal of Soviet Ambassador Georgi N. Za-rubin, who presented his credentials to President Truman Thursday, but that was clearly a possibility. Ironical Situation The situation is ironical for the reason that when Kennan went to Moscow last May, after years of helping shape U.S.

policy toward Soviet communism, he went with the avowed hope of restoring more normal diplomatic relations and reestablishing some basis of courtesy and confidence in dealings between the two governments. The tendency of authorities here now is to speulate that this did not suit Russian purposes at a time when the Kremlin has a great campaign of hate against the United States running inside Russia. The attack on Kennan is so bitter that according to norma diplomatic conduct it would inevitably mean he would be declared i.li. -i jjci-juiiaiiy unaccepiatue, leaving the United States no choice but to withdraw him. Dean Appointed Cortland (JF) Dr.

Albert Bais-ler is the first dean of students at Ccrtland State Teachers College. His appointment was announced Friday. Seoul, Korea (IP) A surren dered North Korean security of ficer told in an interview today of seeing Russian troops at an airfield, south of the Yalu River in North Korea. Lt. Lee Dong Yup said he saw about 20 Russians dressed in Chi nese cqmmunists uniiorms ai Sinuiju airfield in June, 1951.

He said he understood they installed antiaircraft guns at the Red air field, but that he did not know whether they remained to fire them. The lieutenant was Communist security officer at the Panmun-jom armistice talks until he deserted Sept. 5, 1952. He related also that he had heard of a Soviet pilot flying Communist jets in June, 1951, and of two last Spring. The 29-year-old North Korean spoke to Allied correspondents through an interpreter at U.S.

Eighth Army headquarters. He calmly answered questions during a 90-minute session. Attached to Schools The North Korean officer said he had heard Russian advisors are attached to the North Korean army officers school and were sent to various government ministries in North Korea after the outbreak of the war. Eighth Army officers did not say whether they believed the officer. The Communists have consis tently maintained that only the Chinese People's Volunteer aad North Korean troops are fighting in Korea except for a small Hungarian medical unit.

High-ranking American officers have declared publicly that Russian speaking pilots in Communist jets have been heard over the radio by Allied airmen in MIG Alley. Wants to Be Free Lee "said he crossed the line through the Panmunjom neutral corridor because the Communists were "bad" for the North Korean people and because he wanted "to be free." He said he believed his wife and two children were killed dur ing the war. He was separated from them, he said, when North Korean forces retreated north to the Yalu River in 1950. He said he had heard that the pilot of a Communist plane shot down near Sunchon in June 1951 had survived and had shouted "Stalin, Stalin" to villagers who came to help him so "everyone knew he was Russian." Lee also said he had heard that the pilots of two Red planes shot down last spring in North Korea were Russians.
