WILLIAMS The City Council and the City Housing Authority, long at odds over the question of tax-subsidized public housing, yesterday engaged in a one-round, no-decision legal bout before the State Supreme Court in session in the State Building here.

The Housing Authority, which had asked that the city legisla tors be held in contempt of court and fined or jailed, drew a blank when the court took no immediate action and continued the whole matter for further hearing on Nov. 5. Temporary Rebuff At the same time the City Council received at least a temporary rebuff when the court also sidetracked demands that a hearing officer be appointed to take further oral testimony in the superheated housing contro versy.

And he added, "Your take home pay is less than it has been because the government is now taking more and more of your income. Turning to the labor issue, he described the Taft-Hartley Law as "fair."

The Senator said the government can't get any bigger with out destroying freedom. He added: "It used to be that progress was liberty now it is govern ment which runs business and industry through government dictatorship."

30 (Tues day) UP) Chinese Communists hurled tanks, troops and heavy artillery in eight con centrated attacks along a 10-mile sector of the Korean central- front yesterday and seized one bin. Allied defenders staved off six of the Red drives and stood firm on Capitol Hill, a major posi tion. The U.S. 8th Army said reports were incomplete on a seventh Red thrust. United Nations infantrymen attacked but failed to capture Big Nori, western Korean front hill abandoned Sunday by Greek troops after allied planes bombed them by mistake.

Hand-to-Hand Fight Allied soldiers charged up the slopes of Big Nori after their artillery pounded Chinese defenders with a brief but intense barrage. They fought to the crest in 30 minutes and battled hand-to-hand with Chinese dug in on the top. But the Chinese in the next 45 minutes launched three counterattacks and drove off the allies. The South Korean Capitol and 3rd Divisions defending adjacent positions on the central front bore the brunt of the massive Red shelling Monday. Heavy Red Shelling Eighth Army headquarters said the Reds pounded allied positions with 47,312 rounds in the 24 hours ended- at 6 m.

The Chinese sent tanks and 1500 infantrymen charging up the slopes of Capitol Hill and nearby Finger Ridge west of tht Pukhan River before dawn.

Clark also said In an Interview with NBC Correspondent Irving R- Levine that despite punishment dealt by tht U.N. air and naval forces, the Communists have gained the greater military advantage from the comparative lull in fighting during the truce talks. ff 'V: Film Director Huggins Tells Own Red Links Br GENE SHERMAN A writer and film director who admitted being active sporadical ly in the Communist Party from 1940 to 1947 told a subcommittee of the House Un-American Ac tivities Committee yesterday that a loyal Communist cannot be a loyal American.
