Sept. 24 (U.R) U. S. marines launched a two-pronged assault on Communist-held Seoul yesterday and smashed to within one and one-Huarter miles of the center of the city.

As the marines jumped off in what may be their all-out effort to recapture the South Korean capital, United Nations forces in thhe north pushed southward to 30 miles from Suwon to Osan, narrowing the gap between Gen. Douglas MacArthur's bold RED CURB VETO 19'2-Hour Filibuster To Support Truman's Action Collapses Washington, Sept. 23 (U.R) Congress today enacted over President Truman's veto a Communist-control bill so tough Mr. Truman said it would endanger the national security. With the collapse of a 1914-hour filibuster in support of the veto, the Senate rammed the bill to final enactment by a vote of 57 to 10 12 more "aye" votes than the two-thirds majority required by the Constitution.

The House had voted to over, ride Friday, 280 to 48 a mar- Police Commissioner O'Brien Acting Mayor Impellitteri "YOU'RE FIRED!" Police Head Told to Go Tomorrow Acting Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri has fired William P. O'Brien as Police Commissioner, the Brooklyn Eagle learned last night from unimpeachable sources close to Manhattan police headquarters. The dismissal notice, Issued In the midst of rumors that Commissioner O'Brien would tender his resignation, becomes effective as of Monday night and is a direct result of the uncovering by Brooklyn rackets probers of corruption in the Police Department. Present indications are that a person now in the Police Department will be elevated to the top post.

The Eagle, which touched off the probe in a series of articles started last December, also learned that investigators in District Attorney Miles F. McDonald's office feel sure that bigtime bookie Harry Gross, reputed to be the head of a $20,000,000 betting empire which paid protection to police at the rate of nearly $1,000,000 a year, is prepared to talk. They believe that Gross is ready to reverse his earlier decision to remain silent about his gifts and protection payments to the higher echelon of the police force. 'Artie' Backs Up Gross' Story of Corruption The Acting Mayor's decision to dismiss O'Brien rather than wait for his resignation follows a series of rapid-fire developments in the Brooklyn investigation of gambling and rackets highlighted by the disclosures of police corruption made by Gross. Verification of Gross' story was produced by McDonald through the apprehension of "Artie," whose recorded telephone conversation with a Gross henchman helped to blow the lid off in the Kings County probe.

"Artie," whose full name is Arthur Karp, has given the names of police grafters to the holdover December grand jury. The optimistic expectation that Gross, languishing behind prison bars in default of $250,000 ball, was preparing to tell all about his protection payments to higher-echelon police was in part based on the announcement by Hyman Barshay, a former assistant district attorney and a leading Brooklyn criminal lawyer, that he would not represent the bigshot bookmaker. There were other straws to show the wind blowing In the same direction. These were based on eleventh-hour developments which more and more put Gross in the position from which he would find himself unable to seek a "break" for himself without speaking freely within hearing of McDonald's investigators. Already there was evidence before the grand jury which pretty weU established a case against members of both the Gross empire and the Police Department.
