Nov. 3 Total em ployment in the United States in Oetober reached the second highest total on record, the Census Bureau reported today.

The figure mounted to 61,764.000 stimulated in part by the transfer of persons from the jobless rolls to defense jobs and in part by the high level of agricultural activity. While industrial and agricultural employment was rising the Federal pay roll also was rising, reflecting principally the expansion of civilian employment in the military estab-- lishment, the Byrd committee today reported to Congress. Gain In Federal Jobs Total civilian employment in the executive branch of the Federal Government reached 2,096,821 a mew gain of 33521. Employment in the. military es tablishment of civilians reached 903,895, an increase in September of "44.565.

This is the fifth rise the military establishment's civilian pay roll in six months, the commit tee said. The Census Bureau report on total, employment in the nation showed a drop in the number of un employed to 1,940,000 in October compared with 2,341,000 in Ser tember. JThe month's drop of the jobless 40 1,000, -bringing the unem- ployed down to the lowest level since November. 1948,. when the figure was 1.831,000.

Record Set In August The all-thne high for employment in the nation was reached last August at 62,400.000 when large numbers of students and other summer workers were on the labor force. Nonagricultural employment was estimated by the census report at 53,273.000, much the same level as in September, although there was said to be considerable cnange.in the composition of the group. Agricultural employment, which 4Wn kiiro'tii cai1 iiciiallv tan Pre rfT i in October, advanced substantially. largely because of the unusually favorable weather conditions.

DOUGLAS, NIXON RACE CLEARCUT Voting Records Of California Rivals Offer Contrast By THOMAS O'NEILL ISun Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, Nov. 3 Voters in California have in the contest here for a seat in the United States Senate the nation's clearest-cut opportunity to pass a midterm verdict upon the policies and aims of the Administration in Washington. While they wait to vote, they are being treated to some of -the harshest language that has been exchanged in any latter-day ppliti cal campaign anywhere.

Both In Congress The rivals are both members of the House Representatives, where they have compiled exactly opposed, voting records. The Demo cratic is 49-year-old Helen Gahagan once a musical comedy star, who tilrned to politics a down years ago and during six years in the House has virtually a 100 per cent record of Administration support. Her Republican opponent is Richard M. Nixon, hot-eyed member of the House Committee on Un-Amer ican Activities, whose diligence in discovery of disloyalty prompted President Truman to discourse on red herrings.

They represent adjoining congressional districts in Los Angeles, but there is no neighborliness between Mr. Nixon and Mrs. Douglas. Calls Foe Unscrupulous Mrs. Douglas describes her opponent as an unscrupulous political adventurer striving to raise fear and hysteria to promote his personal ambitions.

Mr. Nixon replies that Mrs. Douglas is unfit to serve in the Sen ate and adds that if she had her way Alger Hiss would still be influencing the foreign policy of the United States. In the eyes of Mrs. Douglas, Nixon was one of "a backwash of young men in dark shirts" pitched into Congress by the political wave of 1946, when he was first elected.

According to Mr. Nixon, the elec tion of Mrs. Douglas would be "to risk in the top councils of the nation one who has demonstrated a tendency to weaken in the face of the enemy."

'Finletter, Air Force Secretary, said tonight the United States has the most powerful strategic air arm in the world. "We intend that this strategic air arm will get greater and great er power" and "must continue to have the most violent power available to it," he said in a speech before the annual Wings Club dinner here. Finletter asserted that supremacy in all air-power categories "could enable us to control the aggressive notions of a land power." He emphasized the "indispensa-bility" of tactical strength, and the necessity for strong ground and naval forces. He emphasized stra tegic power, he said, because it is the greatest single deterrent for aggression. 'We are planning and shaping this strategic air arm purely as a de terrent and countermeasure in the event that we are first attacked," he stated.

Since early in the Korean conflict the American Air Force has stopped releasing figures on the total number of combat planes it operates. However, last June 30, it was officially disclosed to be operating 3,200, with an additional 4,600 in storage.

Article on Page 91 Washington, Nov. 3 (IP) Under heavy guard. President Truman today walked from the White House to Emergency Hospital to visit the two policemen wounded in Wednesday's furious gun battle in defending him from assassination. Five Secret Service men closely flanked the President as he made the two-block trip to and from the hospital. Other Secret Service agents rode slowly along in an escort car.

Mr. Truman chatted for about five minutes with the two wounded men Privates Joseph A. Downs and Donald T. Birdzell and later said: "They are getting along fine." Expresses "Deep Gratitude" Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said Mr.

Truman expressed his deep gratitude" to the men. Hospital physicians described the condition of both guards as "very satisfactory." Ross also announced that the President and Mrs. Truman will attend funeral services at 11 A.M. tomorrow for Police Private Leslie Coffelt, 40, who was fatally wound ed in the wild shooting fray outside Blair House, the temporary presidential residence. Services for Coffelt, an army veteran of World War II, will be held in the chapel at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Po- Homac River from Washington, where many of the nation's heroes are buried.

Interment will be in Arlington. Killed By Single Bullet Meanwhile, the body of Griselio Torresola, one of the two Puerto Rican gunmen involved in the assassination attempt, lay unclaimed in the city, morgue. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald said a single bullet, in the brain, killed Torresola almost instantly. He said a chemical analysis has not yet been completed, but there was no physical evidence that the slain man was crazed by drugs or liquor.

A Washington undertaker, Ber nard Danzansky, said he had received a telephone call from a Brooklyn undertaker, identified only as Hernandez, requesting that the slain gunman's remains be shipped Federal officials in New York said the slain gunman's widow in a telegram claimed the body and asked that it be turned over to the Brooklyn funeral home. But Coroner MacDonald said the body would have to be formally identified before being released. Widow Is Seized In New York, Torresola's 21-year- old widow. Carmen, was held in $50,000 bail on a charge of conspiracy to "injure" the President. Conviction could bring a sentence of six years in prison or $5,000 fine or both.

Mrs. Torresola, described as a pretty, dark-eyed woman, was seized by FBI agents last night after she had disappeared with her 6-month-old daughter and had become the object of an intensive hunt. United States Attorney Irving H. Saypol said during Mrs. Torresola's arraignment there was no evidence that she "participated actively in preliminary details leading up to the occurrence at the Blair House." In Sympathy With Attempt But he said Mrs.

Torresola had "expressed herself in entire sympathy with the attempt on the President's life" and had admitted a strong attachment to the Puerto Rican Nationalist party.

It had been taken directly to the junk yard several miles east of the Mann home in North Philadelphia.

The baby was returned to the mother who said through a torrent of tears, "I can't begin to tell you the joy of having her again." The child apparently was unharmed. The girl who took the baby was taken into the police station, weeping bitterly, while Mrs. Mann was there. The mother tried to comfort her and promised to buy her a dolly "so she would never again try to play with' a live baby."

3 (JP) The Navy said today that the authorized operating strength of Russia's Air Force is estimated conservatively at 14.000 combat planes. It added that this estimate does not include Russian naval aviation, transport planes or trainers. A navy spokesman gave that ex planation of a statement appearing in Naval Aviation News, magazine of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics. Exactly how much of such 'authorized" strength has been achieved, the navy official did not attempt to say. Some Jet Fighters The magazine, which is an offi cial publication, put the 'Russian picture this way: "The Soviet Union today is said to have an Air Force of upward of 14,000 operational aircraft, in cluding some jet fighters and TU-4 B-29 type medium bombers.

"Its strategic (long-range) bomb ing force is relatively small, al though this arm appears to have been stressed in the Soviet postwar program. "Naval aviation is land-based, having no aircraft carriers from which to operate." Naval Aviation News said, the Soviet concept of air power is clouded by cenorship, propaganda and frequent reorganization. But because Russia is a land power, the magazine expressed belief that the primary purpose of Russian air power probably will be to back up the Russian army by tactical opera- SOVIET ASKS TALK TO UNIFY GERMANY Allied Chiefs Urged To Take Up Its Prague Proposal Washington, Nov. 3 (JP) Russia tonight proposed a meeting of the big four foreign ministers to discuss a Communist-drafted plan for unifying Besides Russia, the big four include the United States, Great Britain and France. The State Department said the Russian foreign office proposed the conference in a.

note handed to the American Ambassador in Moscow. Top American officials promptly indicated they were cool to the idea because Russia wanted the talks to be based on the four-point plan drawn up by eight Communist foreign ministers in -Prague, October 21. Russian Propaganda State Department officials until now have regarded the Prague proposals as a Russian-inspired propaganda effort to block the Western Powers plans for bringing Germany into their Europe defense plans. The Prague plan was drawn tip after a two-day conference of Soviet satellite foreign ministers and V. M.

Molotov, Russian deputy foreign minister. Ambassador Alan G. Kirk reported to the State Department tonight that similar proposals were to be handed by the Russians to the British and French envoys in Moscow. The Russian move for negotiations apparently caught the State Department by surprise. But officials quickly voiced their skepticism over the sincerity of Moscow's proposals by recalling that they were unanimously dismissed informally by the West when they were made.

Adenauer Was Cool Chancellor Adenauer of West Germany, they said, reflected Western views a few days after the proposals were made public when he said there was nothing new in them. The communique which announced the Prague plan called for the creation of an all- German constitutional council to unify Germany under one government. It called for "balanced representation however by Western Germany and the Russian-backed Eastern German regime.

Western diplomats also have suggested that Moscow might be. trying to scare the French at a time when they were confronted with a Cabinet decision on whether to agree to Western German units in a proposed North Atlantic army.

3 The United Nations General Assembly by over whelming votes today gave the non Communist world a new set of defenses against militant commu nism's increasing tendency to resort to armed force in behalf of its "world revolution" aims. The Assembly's actions taken while the United States delegation was collecting evidence for a possible citation of Communist China for armed defiance of the United Nations in Korea included creation of an agency at least capable of investigating that same regime's current resort to armed force against Tibet. Chief among the actions here was adoption of a four-pronged "uniting for peace" plan sponsored by the United States and vigor ously opposed by the U.S.S.R. plus Poland and Czechoslovakia. Moral Embargo Move The plan provides veto-proof machinery for swift, collective action in the future against any such re sort to armed force for settlement of an international dispute as com munism embarked upon in Korea last June and still persists in there.

Supplementing this action was a moral embargo voted against such manifestations of Sovietism's disregard for human rights as the Communist regimes of Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania have shown in their trials of Josef Cardinal Mindszenty and other Christian clergy, Protestant as well as Cath olic, On War Classifications 'Meanwhite, at near-by Lake Suc Assembly's 60-nation po litical and security committee re jected what one of its members called the Soviet thesis that there are "good and bad wars," with the "good" ones identifiable as those with a "class war" or "revolution ary" tinge and in which the Soviet Government has a hand.

Lebanon, which had voted for the plan in committee, was absent when the roll was called in plenary session this noon.

CHINESE PRESS FAVORING WAR Campaign May Be Prelude To Involvement In Korea By PHILIP POTTER ISunpapers War Correspondent Hong Kong, Nov. 3 The Chinese Communist press and radio in the last few days have represented Chinese in virtually every walk of life as demanding direct action in support of the Reds. The propaganda campaign appeared as if it might be designed to prepare the nation for direct involvement in the Korean war, if indeed that has not already occurred. Alleged reports of mass meetings in Manchuria and northern China represent students and peasants as urging a crossing of the Yalu River to aid the Korean Communists and to protect Man churia itself against American "ag gression." -v Innumerable letters expressing the same sentiments 8re being printed on the front pages of the Communist and fellow-traveler press.

Atrocities Charged The Peiping regime is also keep ing the Chinese posted on. "Amen can atrocities in aggression" through the medium of posters, wall newspapers, and other media, according to the New China News Agency, the official organ of the Communist party. The Ta Kung Pao, which during the Kuomintang rule of China en- ioyed comparative freedom to criti cize the Kuomintang regime but now draws its news exclusively from the New China News Agency. is used as one medium to beat the drums for involvement in the Ko rean conflict. Its Shanghai edition, in a com mentary published yesterday, stated that "morally we have a duty to aid Korea in her fight for na tional liberation because the Ko rean people supported the Chinese revolution and fought shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese people against a common enemy.

Defense Seen Threatened The newspaper added that "his tory has proved China national defense will be threatened should Korea be conquered." But it is through the mouths of students, workers and peasants that the Communist regime seeks to put over the idea that there is a popu lar demand for active intervention in the Korean war. A New China News Agency dis patch from Mukden portrays the people of the mountain area bordering on Korea as expressing "the wish to cross the lYalul river to help the Korean Army annihilate the United States armies of aggres sion." A dispatch from the same agency (Continued on Page 2, Column 3) al.er their was surrounded in a bypassed area of northeast Korea but was not believed in danger. The ground situation on tha crucial northwest front, where a Red co'unterdrive had forced withdrawals up to 50 miles, appeared to be stabilized for the moment. The Situation In Brief This briefly was the situation in the two sectors: Northwest The United States 1st Corps reported a "firm defense line" established in the vicinity of the Chongchon River. United Nations units were holding firm at Kunu, just south of the river and 47 miles north of the former enemy capital of Pyongyang.

Rain and cloudy weather hampered air observation of enemy movements. Red troops were seen moving down from the Yalu River in a southeasterly but pilots gave no indication that the movement was on a large scale. Northeast The United States Marine 7th Regiment ran into trouble while pushing up a road near Sudong, 20 miles north of the coastal Hamhung. Its objective was the Changjin Reservoir, one of two power dams bitterly defended by the Reds because they serve plants in both North Korea and southern Manchuria. Marine planes began supplying the two battalions by air after the enemy isolated them by throwing a road block across their rear supply line.

Third Battalion Encircled The third battalion was encircled west of Wonsan while operating against Marine units were strung out over 100 miles from Sudong to a point 30 miles south of Wonsan. A United States 8th Army spokes man said that at least half of the United States 1st Cavalry Division's 8th Regiment had escaped in Northwest Korea from a trap sprung Thursday near Unsan, north of Kunu. He said there was reason to hope that others would work their way safely south. The regiment was encircled west of Unsan. There was no new word on the fate of half a battalion of another 1st Cavalry regiment trapped south of Unsan.

In Northwest Korea, air observ ers said a withdrawing bouta Korean regiment had dropped out of sight. It was the 7th Regiment of the Republic's 6th Division which went all the way to the Manchurian border last week then began a withdrawal when Red forces cut supply roads to the rear. It was last sighted Wednesday and supplies were air dropped. Allies Under Attack United Nations forces still were holding some positions near Unsan, 20 miles north of Kunu. The South.

Korean 1st Division, 7 miles south of Unsan. was under attack from 5 P.M.. until midnight Eighty miles southwest of Su dong. Korean Reds isolated a Ma rine battalion at Majon, 16 miles west of Wonsan. The Marines had gone there to block the northern escape route of bypassed North Korean Reds, but were themselves cut off.

They were reported in good shape but the Reds ambushed a relief column. At the same time. Marine flyers bombed a force of 2.000 bypassed Reds only 5 miles from Wonsan, big east coast port and site of the largest Allied airfield in North Korea. Tanks were called up to pro tect the airfield. An -intelligence spokesman at Gen.

Douglas MacArthur's Tokyo headquarters said the United Nations still held the initiative in North Korea generally, despite the withdrawals. Not An Offensive He called the new attacks large- scale enemy defensive action and not -a counteroff ensive. The main Red smash was aimed at United Nations forces near Unsan. about 65 miles north of the captured Red capital of Pyongyang. The Ked drive knifed of Unsan to within 2 miles of Kunu, which is 47 miles north of Pyongyang.
