5 (INS) Com munist troops on the east-central Korean front fell back tonight under a devastating rain of Allied artillery fire and UN ground forces captured important high ground without firing a shot from their own guns. Front dispatches said that the Allied troops including the Am erican Second Division won the crest of so-called "bloody ridge" after 18 days of almost constant hand-to-hand fighting with fanatical Reds. Front line officers said the Red defenders of the hill absorbed 390,000 rounds of Allied artillery during 18 days of fighting before they finally withdrew. The Red forces left behind numerous North Korean soldiers-wounded and half-starved. These enemy casualties were taken without a struggle by Allied troops and told questioners the main Red defending force with drew this evening under cover of.

darkness. The action took place in the' mountain tops northeast of Yanggu in the climax of prolonged fighting which has cost the Reds thousands of casualties and caused them to commit some of their reserve troops. But this local front develop- ment was cloudec by reports that the Communists have built up an airforce of 5,000 planes in Manchuria during the current lapse in cease-fire talks. The report of 5,000 planes assembled by the Reds was not official but Gen. Ridgway's headquarters earlier said that the Communists supported by technicians from Russian satellite nations were set for a new ground and air offensive bulwarked by a Manchurian air force of more than 1,000 war-planes.

There was little hope seen, meanwhile, of a quick resumption of cease-fire talks which were broken off by the Reds on August '23rd. For the first time in days no See KOREA: Pare 4A, Col. 2 WHAT GOES ON BOXING Roy Wouters vs. Bobby Dykes, Miami Beach auditorium. 8:45 p.m.

Much of the gambling which would be effected is ille gal under state laws. The 10 per cent tax would ap ply to: 1.

Bets on sports events or contests placed with a person engaged in the business of accepting such wagers. 2. Bets placed in a pool in volving a sports event or con test of the pool is conducted foe profit. 3. Wagers placed in profit- making lotteries, which include numbers games.

The tax on contests would ap ply not only to sports events but to bets on elections and primar ies. These levies would not ap ply to pari-mutuel betting at race tracks or to gambling ca sinos. It was considered im practical to try to tax individual bets in dice games, roulette and similar gambling in casinos. The House ways and means committee estimated that the gambling taxes would raise $400,000,000 a year. The treasury has scaled this estimate down to $300,000,000.

If the Senate approves the gambling tax proposal, it is al most certain to be included in the new tax-increase bill to be sent to President Truman for signature. One other decision mad to day would reduce the nresent tobacco tax of 18 cent a pound on cnewmg scrap and snuff to 10 cents. The committee had voted to make the same cut previously for Dlus and twist to. tobacco tax of 18 cents a pound tions would cost the treasury about $5,000,000 a year. (Early story page 5-A.) Russians, Japs Signed Peace Pact 46 Years Ago Today NEW YORK, Sept.

S-UP) With delegates meeting to sign a new Japanese treaty, observers noted that today is the anniversary of another peace treaty signed -with Japan 46 years ago. On Sept. 5, 1945, the treaty of Portsmouth was signed ending the Russo-Japanese war. Military disasters and threats of internal disorder had induced the Russians to accept mediation terms proposed by President Theodore Roosevelt. In the negotiations, at Portsmouth, N.

Russia agreed to cede half of Sakhalin, surrender her lease on the Kwan-tung peninsula and Porth Arthur, evacuate Manchuria and recognize Japan's sphere of influence in Korea. MIAMI'S OWN NEW YORK, Sept. 5 (5V-Eddid Arcaro, generally regarded as one of the best jockeys on the flat, has accepted a dare to pilot a mount, in a steeplechase sometime this falL Arcaro said today the venture was the result of a discussion with friends at his home in Saratoga recently. He already has made arrangements to ride Fulton, owned by Laddie Sanford, either at the current meeting at Aqueduct or later at Belmont. Before he can ride in the steeplechase, Arcaro must take out a license for that phase of the sport.

He will be granted a 10-pound apprentice allowance. ALU Patience, Love And Democracy A -four var ago interviewed Kin; a of Egypt in his palace at Cairo. On his desk, facing framed in a neat wood i I irame was me XYv one word, I "PATIENCE." I 1 A JU1CW man once," I said, 4'who had that word -framed so that it faced him as it did his guests." A smile curved his lips under a clipped, British-type mustache; and he turned the frame around. It was the same. On his side, too, was the word "Patience." "It Was my father's," he said.

"It was the word which most influenced his life." I thought then what a pity it was that for the dissipated young king, Farouk, with a country which could have been made more prosperous and strong than France at her best, the word was just a memento left him by his father. He had little patience then. And less now. He lives in luxury and decadence, providing no leadership or example to an ancient people in an important corner of the world. Not patience, but pride, vanity, sloth and a sensitive, ego rule his life.

And the noble word "Pa- tience" has been debased. For him the word had meaning only for the person who sat before him. 'Love' Henrik Ibsen, the brilliant and penetrating Norwegian playwright, once wrote: "There has been no word that has been soiled with lies like that word love'." None can dispute that. A lot of words are receiving a kicking around in our time. They mean what those who use them wish them to mean, and very often indeed the definition which everyone knows to be generally true, is soiled with lies.

Freedom, Liberty and Democracy are three words going through the flint mills of distorting propaganda today. We all know pretty well what the words mean, even though there is no sharp, final definition. During the early part of the Nazi developments a young Nazi of the youth movement made news by saying, "We Nazi youth spit on freedom." In 1938 in Germany a friend took me to see several German families so I could obtain from them some idea of how they felt about Hitler. I remember an old woman in a neat little cottage near Potsdam saying to me, "Our Fuehrer is building a wall of steel about us so we may be free." She was convinced he meant to make Germany free from war. It is generally forgotten now, but it is true that Hitler first sold himself to the Germans as one who would make them strong enough so they would be able to live in liberty.

Later on when Hitler was stronger, he was more candid. The masses of people, he said, were like a woman. They yearned for a strong, compelling man as a lover and spouse, he said. They did not want equality or partnership. They wanted to.

be dominated. Democracy, he said, was decadent and impossible because it made for dispute and debate. The people in democracies, he said, would welcome a fuerher if a really strong one ever ap-' peared. In this, as in many things Hitler said, is a grain of truth. In times such as now pressed upon us there is more frustra tion than in less strenuous times.

A great many persons would prefer some strong man telling them what to think, and what to believe. There is no es caping that. So, there are those who try to break dowft our public school system and dis credit it so they may more eas ily control the nation's think ing. There are those who try to shatter confidence in our form of government so they can change it. Dictators The Communists argue that a dictator or a tyrant who says he is acting in the interest of the people governs a "democracy." See McGILL: Page 4A C.

1 I Treaty Parley Adopts Rules Of U.S., Britain SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5-m Russia's drive to block Anglo- American control of the Japa nese peace conference was abruptly cut short today and the conference adopted 48 to 3 rules of procedure sponsored by the two western powers. It was a smashing defeat for Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who had also been defeatecrearlier in the first two hours of conference business on a proposal to bring Red China tiere. The rulpa ara rfpsicnpH nro. vent Russia from filihustprinf the peace-treaty now scheduled ior signing Saturday or from cnanging it in any way.

Speeches on the treaty are limited to one hour for each delegation with five minutes to answer questions. Proposals for changes in the treaty can be ruled out of order. Secretary of State Acheson, acting president of the conference at the first session, and his top advisers had figured ahead of time that the Russians. Poles and Czechs here would be able to stall adoption of the rules all day today and possibly into tomorrow. Acheson was elected perma nent chairman of the confer ence.

The vote was conducted by se cret ballot. No nominations were accepted from the floor. The vote was Acheson 43. Per- cy Spender, Australian ambassador, 2, Zafrulla Khan 2, ab stentions four. spender was elected vice chairman by 31 votes.

Action to close debate came unexpectedly on a motion by the Dominican delegate, Virgilio Diaz Ordonez. Acheson put it to a vote. The vote was 24 to 8. It was one of a series of defeats for Russia and raised hopes that the conference might go through; close to schedule and the peace treaty be signed either Saturday or early next week. Gromyko, however, immedi ately renewed his proposal to invite Red China and asked a vote on Red Chinese participa tion.

Ruled out of order by Acheson, who was sustained by a 36 to 3 vote, Gromyko protested that he was being deprived of his right to be heard.

CITY TO REPLACE SHRUBBERY Miami city commission late today approved a $30,000 appropriation for rehabilitating planting destroyed in the sidewalk construction program. The ordinance, first naming $15,000 as the sum, was proposed by William W. Charles and seconded by Louie Bandel, who asked that the amount be double. City officials have been besieged by calls from property owners whose yards and shrubs were disarranged. (Earlier stories on Page 1-B.) Other Late News on Page 4-A The weather bureau this afternoon wrote off one hurricane, announced rejuvenation of another and discovery, of a third, the sixth of the season.

It issued its final advisory on "Hurricane Dog," but two hours later followed up with one on 'Hurricane Easy," which it located about 800 miles east- northeast of Puerto Rico. -With winds up to 135 miles an hour, the bureau classified "Easy" as "a dangerous hurricane."
