Speaking in the huge green and gold conference room of the government's inter-departmental auditorium, Marshall called also for "a bill of particulars" on the combined defense force that is coming into being at the historic conference.

28 State Highway Commissioner Ransford J. Abbott announced yesterday that another link of Route 4 Parkway, from Route 27 to Route 35, would be opened to motorists on November 1. With the addition of this final piece of roadway, the first section of the Parkway, extending for 10 Old Timer to Help Raise Chest Funds With His Roll Call The "Old Timer's Roll Call" which during the past two years has helped raise funds for the Community Chest, is being called upon again. Originally adopted by Newton B. Smith in 1948, contributions from friends of "The Old Timer" and the public augmented receipts from other phases of the fund campaign that year.

Again last year, the "Old Timer's Roll Call" bolstered the lagging Red Feather fund drive as contributions came from residents of this area as well as from such distant points as Whittier, Lake Worth, Florida, and Kansas City. Ten solicitors will aid in the roll call this year, seeking the' extra dollar; or two which may mean that some service of Red Feather agencies may not have to be curtailed. fic off local streets and heavily traveled state highways, according to Abbott. The Parkway will also serve as a direct route for several thousand workers living in Union and Essex counties who travel back and forth daily between their homes and employment centers in Middlesex county. These persons formerly were forced to use indirect or congested routes.

Cross Streets Eliminated a Throughout the 10-mile length of the Parkway, there will be no obstacles to free-flowing traffic no traffic lights, no stop streets and no intersections, at grade. Bridges incorporating the most advanced engineering and architectural features eliminate all cross streets. These structures embrace aesthetic and functional characteristics in such a manner as to enhance the natural beauty of the route. Traffic interchanges, where cars may enter or leave the Parkway, have been provided at Centennial avenue, Raritan road. Central avenue, Route 27, Route 25, Lehigh Surges From Behind To Turn Back Rutgers, 21-18 Scarlet Just Misses With Two Last Quarter Threats; Gabriel Scores Twice to Pace Engineers Turned Down By State Board Consolidation of Two Engineering Colleges Held Impracticable The state board of education yesterday turned down a proposal that Rutgers Engineering College in this city be combined with the Newark College of Engineering.

In a report to Governor Driscoll, education commissioner John H. Bosshart stated that joining the colleges would yield "no appreciable saving." Bosshart said a survey of the two schools showed that accommodating Rutgers students in Newark would require $5,000,000 for educational and $2,500,000 for housing facilities. Bosshart said the demand for engineers is expected to increase during the next ten years and New Jersey "should plan to provide increased facilities for engineering education." "The state should not expect to meet this demand," the report said, "entirely by a city college in a location where expansion is re stricted and expensive." The report also noted: "Support of thousands of Rutgers alumni, whose financial aid of their alma mater might be considerable in the years ahead, would be alienated by the suggested change." Consolidating the two colleges was suggested by Governor Driscoll in last year's budget message to the Legislature. "Hall of Fame Week' Designated by Driscoll Governor yesterday designated the coming week as "Football Hall of Fame Week." The governor asked citizens of New Jersey to pay honor to "one of the greatest games" by supporting the committee now establishing a national football shrine at Rutgers University. It's hoped, Driscoll said, that the New Brunswick Hall of Fame will be to football what the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.

is to baseball. He said it is "entirely fitting" that this shrine should be located at the Rutgers campus where the first intercolegiate football game was played on November 6, 1869, between Rutgers and Princeton. Member in Help Foe Slow Up Drive Toward Manchuria ENEMY HITS BEHIND ADVANCING COLUMNS SEOUL. Sunday, Oct. 29 WV- Widespread Red counterattacks mounted in fury before and behind the Allied lines in Korea Saturday.

Aided by Chinese Communists, the rising resistance slowed but failed to halt the United Nations drive to clear Korea of organized Ked forces within the next few days before the enemy can reassemble a dangerous striking force. North Korean and Chinese Com munist soldiers fought stubbornly against the Allied drive toward the Manchurian border In the northwest. A high source at U. S. Eighth Army headquarters said American and British Commonwealth troops, striking up the west coast only 45 to 55 miles from the border, should reach it within a week.

Behind-the-lines Reds ambushed and cut up a U. S. Marine company on the east coast. Others captured a town deep in the south west. Still more were staging nuisance raids on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula.

The U. S. First Corps judge ad vocate announced discovery of th bodies of 30 Americans in and beside a deserted, fire-damaged northbound train. The train was on the line from Pyongyang, captured Red capital, to Kangjye, re ported new seat of the routed North Korean government, near tne Mancnunan border. The bodies were found October 22 near Kujang, about 70 railroad miles north of Pyongyang.

All the Americans had been shot and nine had been badly burned as well. Red Resistance Increases The judge advocate said the evidence indicated that fleeing Reds had killed the Americans and that nine of the bodies were burned later in an. American air strike that set fire to the train. No North Korean dead were found nearby, indicating the Reds escaped from the train before the air strike. Two American survivors were found, so weak from hunger they could only mumble thanks to rescuers.

They were removed to a hospital. Their names were not released. On the west coast, the fifth regiment of the U. S. 24th Division ran into heavy Red resistance on its drive north from Kasan.

It knocked out four Red tanks and three high velocity guns in the fight to smash through the dug-in Communists. The British Commonwealth 27th Brigade moved five miles against lessened resistance in its drive from Ksasan west toward Chongju. ignter-bombers knocked out seven tanks in front of the fifth regiment advance and one in front of the British advance. In the North Central sector, elements of the Korean Republican Sixth Division fought out of a Red encirclement at Onjong, on the road from Pyongyang to the Manchurian border. The seventh regiment of the Korean Sixth Division was reported still holding its border position on the Yalu River north of Chosan.

It had been reported withdrawn Friday because of a shortage of supplies. Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, commanding the U.

S. Eighth Army, flew to the spot Saturday and announced the regiment was holding its frontier position.

28 UP) The army announced today it is making no more mandatory calls for enlisted reservists except a limited number of medical and counter intelligence specialists. An announcement said the action was in compliance with Defense Secretary Marshall's recent order to the armed forces to revamp reserve policies in view of the changed military situation. In stopping recalls, the army ordered that all quotas previously assigned to army commanders in the six army areas be cancelled. However, all recall orders mailed out to reservists up to, and including, today, are still valid and must be compiled with. Moreover the army areas will continue to issue orders for a number of medical and counter intelligence specialists.

The army said that 1,800 enlisted medical reservists will be called up to help staff the various hospitals. This figure reduces by 1,600 a previous total the army thought would be necessary before the change in the Korean war outlook. A total of 433 counter intelligence corps personnel will be required to report for active duty bv November 1. Today's order applies 'only to enlisted reservists, not to reserve officers.

P. Suggests Honor for U. S. Troops CANTERBURY, Oct. 28 A Conservative member of Parliament suggested today that the name of the U.S.

First Cavalry Division be woven in gold on the United Nations flag as a tribute to its "glory" in the Korean campaign. The M.P., John Baker White, said in a political speech here: 'It is upon that standard that we should inscribe the name of the unit which went first into this campaign, which suffered appalling casualties, which was hardly ever out of the line for more than a few hours on end, and which was the first to enter the North Korean capital. Theirs is the glory and their name should be woven in gold upon the United Nations flag." TOP-COMMUNIST DIES SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 04) The death of one of Communist China's top Jeaders was announced today by radio Peiping. He was 46-year-old Jen Pi Shih, secretary of the Central Committee, secretariat of the Communist Party of China, member oi the Political Bureau and an intimate of party leader Mao Tze-Tung.

No. 158 Now WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (JP) President Truman and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower today held a 45-minute conference tnat did nothing to dispel a widely-held belief that Eisenhower win neaa the new European defense force of the Atlantic powers.

"The President didn't put the question to me, Eisenhower told reporters. But he added that Mr. Truman "always knows that I am available for duty." And so the door remained wide open for the general to be named supreme commander of western forces in Europe once the post is formally created. There had been speculation that an announcement might be made today. But the President would hardly choose a commander until the North Atlantic defense body asked him to.

And he probably wouldn't want to give the impression he was nudging Eisenhower toward a post that would take him temporarily out of the political picture. 12 Nations Confer While the President and the general talked at the White House, defense ministers of the 12 Atlantic Pact nations were working a few blocks away on the creation of a joint force for security against Russian aggression. They also sought agreement on the authority that the supreme commander should have, The Truman-Eisenhower meeting had obvious political overtones. Eisenhower again is being proposed by Gov. Thomas E.

Dewey of New York and others for the Republican Presidential nomination. If he were nominated, President Truman might well be his opponent in 1952. Reporters asked Eisenhower today what difference it would make politically if he accepted the western powers' defense assignment. Smiling, he replied: "I have no intention of doing in 1952 anything different from what I am doing now." This just about repeated his earlier statement that he plans to go on being president of Columbia University and is not a candidate for anything. He hasn't said, however, that he would turn down the 1952 presidential no'm-ination if it were offered.

"We only explored general con ditions and ideas," he said. "No definite decisions were made. I repeat again, as I should not have to, that I am a member of the Army and always ready to do anything I am asked to." Marshall Sees Struggle Then the general went back to the Pentagon for further talks with high army officials talks that could well fit in with the prospect of his heading the combined defense force in Europe. The defense ministers, meanwhile, heard U. S.

Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall warn against complacency and urge defense plans that are "realistic with appreciation of the present critical situation."

28 OP) U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge told Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky point-blank today the growing American military power is not meant for an offensive against the Soviet Union. He said "every child knows that" and advised the Russian bloc to "stop being afraid." Vishinsky told the U.N. Politi cal Committee he doubted that the United States would stop producing atomic bombs even if the approved the American-backed plan for atomic control.

In a two-hour-and-15-minute talk, he rejected the majority-ap proved control plan once more. charged the United States started the war in Korea and is using Jap anese troops there now. He also accused the United States of try ing to cut up Germany, with back ing Fascists in high posts in Austria and with building a string of military bases around the world. The Russian foreign minister then sat stonily as Lodge answered him in 16 minutes. The American delegate, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, challenged Vishinsky to prove Americans are using Japanese troops and called on the Russian-bloc representative to stop being "conspiratorial and childish." Vishinsky grew brick red with ob vious anger when Lodge advised him to stop being afraid.

Hits Back at Vishinsky Firing back at Vishinskv's charge that the United States expenditures for military purposes are 50 times those of pre-World War II days, Lodge told the committee that even if they were far greater the United States military power "would not have an offensive capability against the Soviet union." "Every child knows that," he said. Lodge told Vishinsky that we Americans talk a lot, "too much some times." He said Americans are becoming powerful, but "we are not going to use our power as some others have used it in the past." "We will use it with the other peace-loving nations to create permanent peace," Lodge said, "and whether the dictators like it or not, it will be a blessing to all of suffering humanity both in and out of the free world." Lodge said he had gained the impression in listening to the debate on Vishinsky's proposals for a ban on atomic bombs, a big-power peace pact and a one-third reduction of the armed forces of the Big Five that maybe the Russian' bloc delegates are really frightened. "Maybe you are frightened of us," Lodge said. "Maybe you ere frightened of the plain people in your own country. But I know that a frightened man can be dangerous.

I am sorry there is fright and I hope and believe that the time will come when fear will disappear." The senator said he was confident that "the condition which exists in the world is not going to last much longer because the people of the free world whom you have finally aroused will, in a completely peaceful and orderly way and within a very few years, create a quiet and peaceful world. "We hope the day will come when "The oppression of religion In Russia will stop; "The creative energies of the Russian people, that brilliant and gifted people, will be released; "The Russian people will be able to mingle freely with people from other lands; and "When the people of the rest of Europe will no longer in terror of the Red Army.

Iri-U' Only a Memory, But 10 Years Ago By JOE BURNS BETHLEHEM, Oct. 28 Some 12,000 vociferous fans poured jubilantly on to the turf of Taylor Stadium here yesterday to embrace a band of Lehigh heroes who just completed the first conquest of Rutgers since 1942. As it turned out, the talented toe of Walt Trillhaase was the difference for the score was 21 to 18.

Lehigh, by the form, has an excellent chance to finish the 1930 campaign without a defeat since Rutgers was considered the last tough obstacle. The current six-game streak is the longest since the 1907 season. Rutgers in losing its third game in five starts did not veer from its custom of playing games which practically kill off the more nervous spectators. The Scarlet was ahead, 12-0 and 18-7, yesterday and finished up with two last-period threats that carried inside the Lehlzh five-yard line. For Lehieh it was a magnificent effort.

Generally outplayed and with their backs to the wall, the gallant Engineers struck quickly for two scores in the third quarter to go ahead and then hung on The vaunted Lehigh running at tack KOt a good going over from the Scarlet defensive huskies but Herb Weiss kept the Engineers eoine with his accurate passing That, plus a 57-yard kick return bv the fleet and talented Captain Dick Gabriel was responsible for the Lehieh touchdown. Gabriel scored the first one for Lehigh on a short plunge and end John Berg man. who proved a perfect team mate for Weiss, caught a pass for the other. Trillhaase now has 21 uccessful conversions in 22 tries. Lehigh Takes Lead Doyne missed with a pass but Weiss flipped to Bergman in the left corner of the end zone for a touchdown.

Trillhaase kicked his third point and Lehigh went ahead, 21-18, for the first time in the came. Rutgers scoring plays Included a short buck by Howard Ottley, a pass from Walt LaPrarie to Hal Corrizzi and another LaPrarie pass, this time to Russ Sandblom. The latter TD was made with one second left in the first half. Statistics indicate how well Rut gers bottled up Lehigh on the ground. It gained only 50 yards rushing but made 1U7 in tne air, Rutgers ground out 178 yards rushing and 110 passing.

This was the first middle three battje of the season. The result means Rutgers will lose its four-year hold on the little brass cannon if Lehigh beats Lafayette. Rutgers was playing heads up ball in the first naif as evidenced by its three touchdowns in four sorties into Lehigh territory. Le high on the other hand, wasn getting the chances to even up for its second quarter passing drive for a score. The vaunted running duo of Gabriel and Doyne of the Engineers might as well have been left in the locker room for all the good it did in maintain Ing a sustained ground attack.

Lehigh took the opening kick off and immediately felt the weight and sensed the stubborn' ness of the Scarlet rugged de fensive line. After two running attempts, the Engineers had noth ing to show but a three yard loss so Doyne quick kicked to Rutgers 22. The Scarlet retaliated with Monahan's quick kick which trav eled 62 yards.
