Penn sylvania Federation of the Blind today contended the State could boost blind pensions by $10 a mo ith and still spend $1,500,000 less on such payments than it did last ear. Th'j organization said a change in thi: Federal law guarantees that the I ederal Government will pay 25 pe cent of the pensions awarded the 15,500 sightless persons by the State. "re the 1949-51 biennium. the State bore the entire expense for blind persons which, amounted to $7,500,000 for each of the two years," said David Txeatman, fed- traticn secretary-treasurer. "With the increase in pensions, the State would spend $9,000,000 a year for the 1951-53 biennium.

But ince the Federal Government guanntees matching funds of annually, this brings the Commonwealth's total expend lures down to $6,000,000 for each year or $1,500,000 less per year.

LONDON, Sept. at-' tending doctors reported today that gravely ill King George VI spent a restful night and his condition "continues to be as satisfactory as can be expected." i The bulletin was issued by Buckingham Palace at 11 A. M. (6 A. M.

EDT), some 24 hour after part or all of one of the king's lung was removed in an operation. The doctors were keeping anxious vigil over the frail 55-year- old British monarch and all members of the royal family were at the palace or their nearby residences. Even the brother whose abdication as King VIII December 11, 1936, led to the coronation of George VI was in London'. The Duke of Windsor arrived on the boat train from France to keep a long-arranged book dinner date marking the publication in. Britain of his memoirs.

The duke, went at once to Marlborough House, the residence his American-born wife for whom he renounced the throne. Other members of the royal family were expected to form, a council of state to carry on the king's duties. It will comprise Queen Elizabeth, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, the Duke of Gloucester and the princess royal. Gloucester Js a brother and the princess royal a sister of the iing. The king is not expected to be out of danger until the end of the week.

A long convalescence must follow, and it seemed doubtful that ha will be able to sail January 22 as scheduled for a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand. All eight doctors who were present at the operation the king yesterday morning ex-- amined the patient this morning. It appeared unlikely any member of the royal family with the possible exception of the queen would be permitted to see the king today. Outside Buckingham Palace, crowds oi worried Britons began to gather under a bright sun soon after breakfast time. They stood in silence or talked in hushed murmurs while awaiting word on the condition of their ruler.

lies Balk at Resuming Peace Talks at Kaesong As Reds Demand No Delay Battleship Fires To Aid UN Forces On Eastern Front By United Press. EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Sept. 24. The Battleship New Jersey opened its Hi-inch guns today against the hills on the eastern front to aid United Nations infantrymen battling desperately against the Communists. Standing just oft the coast, the gun crows of the big battle wagon tons at full load--put pinpoint fire on enemy-held peaks with their nine 16-inch rifles.

"They knocked three feet of rt-al estate off one hill," an enthusiastic air observer reported. Four Americans blazed their way to the peak of "Heartbreak Hill" north of Yanggu, on the bloody eastern front, only to be forced to surrender it two hours later, despite reinforcements, to a Communist regiment. The four Americans had survived a vicious bayonet and hand gi enade battle through the night to reach the summit in the crisis of a bitter 13-day fight for its control. Other members of their unit were forced to fall back from the peak which controls the rug- god surrounding area. At 3 A.

the exhausted quartet gained the crest. American reinforcements moved up quickly but fiercely resisting Reds drove all UN troops off the peak just before dawn. Streams of deadly machine gun fire, mortar barrages, and small arms fire punctuated the all-night clash. UN troops who failed to reach the peak from tho opposite side hjld a position on the slopes after digging out Communists with bayonets and hand grenades. The Heartbreak Hill clash came the Reds turned increasingly aggressive on all sectors of the east-central and eastern fronts.

UN troops tried to seize the peak, in thrusts from the north and south flanks, starting before d.iwn Sunday. Allied troops on the north slopes drove the enemy from deep entrenchments before nightfall and fought off a brief counterattack. Then, they clambered all the way to the top. There, they ran into enemy troops who had repelled the Allied thrust from the south. The two foes fought through the night for control of the peak.

Just to the west, other UN forces failed after an all-day battle to conquer another important crest. They withdrew at 10 P. Sunday under withering en- etny fire. Heavy Red reinforcements were reported building up west of Kumwa in the old "Iron Triangle" area, farther west of Heartbreak Hill. UN advances, if any, were slow and both sides were paying in casualties.

HARRISBURG, Sept. 24. --Although the State's tax picture is still clouded, the General Assembly in nine months of deliberations has passed an impi es- sive bfitt-h of new laws that may, in some way, a i every man, woman and child Punnsylvaiiij With tlie 1951 session (he longest siuce KtfVolitUonctiy War days, John S.

Measures signed and others in various stages of the legislative mill cover the field of health, welfare, education, municipal government, highway construction, public assistance professional licensing, civil defense and sports ami the inevitable taxes. Despite the fact the ways and means of laising in additional ievenues luve plagued the Legislature, the bulk of the Administration's program to balance the Governor's $1,200,000,000 budget has been enacted. It raised the corporate net income levy from four to five per cent and continued imposts on CIR- arct 1 herr, liquor and gasoline. Those and scvrial nthcrn will bring in about $706,150,000 during the 1951-53 biennium.

Even before Fine took office last January 16, the Legislature was tangled in controversy over Cabinet appointments. But while the Senate debated, bi-partisan bills moved in the House for setting up Pennsylvania's civil defense activities.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Government was expected today to orack clown swiftly on rent- gouging landlords near military bases where some housing conditions are reported "shocking" and "deplorable." The Senate Preparedness subcommittee called for such action in releasing a new report on housing provided servicemen near military bases. It ticked off dozens of cases where service families paid high rent to live in such quarters as a mule barn, a hen house, tool sheds, and other shacks. The subcommittee said drastic action is needed immediately by the Government and local communities to prevent serious damage to the morale oi the armed forces. The subcommittee reported in July that servicemen were being "shamelessly victimized" by rent gouging near military camps.

Its second report covered 17 additional military installations. One of the "worst" housing situations it found was near the Marine Training Base at Camp Lejeune, N. C. It said servicemen are "being ground mercilessly by unscrupulous landlords." And it found some Marines to blame also. Some of the landlords' were Marines themselves "a few Marines who do not hesitate to line their pockets with money extorted from their fellow Marines." The subcommittee urged the Defense Department to set up a "continuing committee" of housing experts to solve the housing shortage and recommended that the rent rollback provisions of the controls law, be used to prevent gouging.

Chaiiman Lyndon B. Johnson, said the subcommittee will begin public hearings within a few days to hear the armed services' recommendations. In addition to Camp Lejeune, the report found bad housing conditions at Camp Folk, La Chanute Air Force Base, 111., Camp Atterbury, Fort Eix, N. 3., and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.

United Nations balked, today at resuming the Korean armistice talks in incident-ridden Kaesong on grounds that the city is "unsuitable." UN liaison officers told Communist liaison officers at an hour- long meeting in Kaesong that the truce talks cannot be reopened until the Reds agree to "new conditions, more conductive to progress toward an armistice." No agreement was reached, and it was decided to hold a second meeting at 10 A. M.

tomorrow (9 P. M. today EDT.) The UN officers handed the Communist, liaison delegation memorandum summarizing the UN positions. The Reds in turn called a UN liaison officer to a Red check point below Kaesong six hours after the main meeting to receive a Communist memorandum. South Korean Lt.

Col. Lee Soo Young picked up the Communist document at Pan Mun Join at 6 P. M. (5 A. M.

EDT). It presumably was a reply to the Allied memorandum, but its contents were not disclosed. The Communist liaison officers demanded at the morning meeting that the armistice talks be resumed in Kaesong at once without further wrangling. But U. S.

Colonels Andrew J. Kinney and James C. Murray refused. They said arrangements must be completed first to assure that the talks will not be interrupted again by real or imaginary violations of the conference neutral zone. For this reason, they said, Kae- song was unsuitable as a site.

Supreme headquarters of Gen Matthew B. Ridgway said the UN delegation put the Allied case this way: "The Communist forces and UK command forces have been in constant maneuver, daily posing the chance of unintended violation o) the Kaesong neutral area "It is plain that parlisai groups, responsible to neithei command, are active in the Kae- song area. These uncontrollec elements may at any time take action which could compel a suspension of the conference "From the viewpoint of the military aviator, the Kaesong neutral zone is but a few minutet removed from the most important military line of supply in your rear area the likelihood of an accidental occurrence involving Kaesong is obvious. 'The Communist commanders have alleged that a number of violations of the Keasong neutral zone approaching the figure 200 have occurred. "Could any fact argue more persuasively that Kaesong is unsuitable as a conference site?" The UN command bulletin said Allied liaison officers expressed regret that the Communists had rejected Ridgway's original proposal for cease-fire talks aboard the Danish Hospital Ship Jut- landia.

However, the Allies apparently did not mention any specific alternative site 1o Kaesong at Monday's meeting. The Jutlandia sailed back to Denmark last July, but other hospital ships presumably are available. Ridgway first suggested that the truce talks be shifted to a new site September 6, but the Communists rejected the proposal at the time. The Communists broke off the armistice talks August 23 on the pretext that UN planes had bombed the Kaesong neutral zone thtt previous night. The UN command denied and said the so- called, "evidence" of the raid had been planted by the Reds themselves.
