WASHINGTON, Dec. 'IS. CT) President Truman told his congressional leaders today he reeds additional powers in the fields of government contracts and organization in order to deal with the world crisis. House Speaker Rayburn al-Texas) said after a 90-minute White House that Mr. Truman indicated he would send a specific request to the Capitol as soon as the necessary papers could be drafted.

House Democratic Leader McCormack (Mass.) said he understood Mr. Truman would ask restoration of powers formerly available to the President under titles one and two Of the first war powers act. (Continued from page one) Field dispatches said the Chinese screamed "all right, all right" as they attacked by the light of their own green and red (lams. The shouts were high-pitched, sing-song English. And the riflemen mowed them down.

There was a lull In the fighting after daybreak. Later Monday, elements of the Third division exchanged intermittent fire with Korean reds on the right flank of the defense perimeter. It was the first time since the wholesale retreat of UN forces in the northeast toward the Hungnam beachhead that North Koreans were identified In the attacking force In sizable numbers. The right flank of the beachhead was regarded as the only place where the danger flag is flying right now." No contact was reported on the left flank Monday. Some artillery was spotted in the west.

working around the clock. today hunted a rnysiter.aus "mad" sniper who has killed one person and wounded six others in the city's residential Oak Lane section in the last six weeks. The manhuntdescribed as the greatest in Philadelphia's history began late Saturday night after a 28-year-old housewife was slain by a gunman police believe responsible for six other shootings in the area. "There's no doubt a maniac Is on the loose," said one police officer. "Only a madman could have committed these acts." He admitted police had few clews to go on but said "We'll stay on the job until we get him." Mrs.

Claire Cohen. wife of a Junior high school teacher and mother of two small children, was killed by a bullet fired inrough closed venetian blinds of a kitchen while she was washing dishes. Police said the killer apparently fired from a terrace across the street from the house since the 1 bullet entered the window, 12 feet above the ground, on a level plane. They said the man must have seen aim shadows' moving behind the venetian blinds. Last night, the dimly lighted Oak Lane area on the northwestern edge of the city, was a deserted region.

Residents of the modest, middle-class neighborhood, stayed inside while 130 policemen and 50 auxiliaries patrolled the streets. At least one policeman was assigned to each block of the area. Mayor Bernard Samuel directed Samuel Rosenberg. public safety director, to use "every facility at your command" to track down the killer. And Rosenberg, in ordering nearly 200 police officers to the area, called up the greatest deployment of policemen in an area in this city's history in peacetime.

9110 Reds Killed A 10th corps spokesman said 900 reds were killed Sunday by marine and navy air strikes and naval gunfire within a 60-mile radius of Hungnam. The approaches to the beachhead were raked by the United States heavy cruisers St. Paul and Rochester. Destroyers stepped up the bombardment with five-inch guns. A navy summary said the fire had made a "no mans land" of the defense perimeters outer fringes.

The beachhead Is the allies' last major position north of parallel 38, the old boundary between North and South Korea. 1 Along the western sector of 38, the prolonged lull on the United States Eighth army front continued. MacArthur's Monday war summary warned of intensified guerrilla activity. He said the guerrilla raids evidently are coordinated. The hit-run North Koreans, mostly remnants of the once-crushed Korean red army, probably are directed by radio, MacArthur added.

Air observers reported Increased movement of refugees toward allied lines in northwest Korea. Guerrillas frequently intermingle with the thousands of frightened civilians. Radio Moscow said in a Korean language broadcast that communists killed 800 Americans and South Koreans in a battle at Yonchon Thursday South Koreans have been battling North Korean guerrillas in that area, about 45 miles northeast of Seoul. MacArthur's Sunday war summary reported guerrilla attacks at Kapyoug. 32 miles northeast of Seoul and along the railroad line westward to Chunchon.

That line runs to Inchon, the port for Seoul. Far East air forces (FEAF) warplanes smashed at red bases and communications throughout North Korea. By midday Monday, Fifth air force pilots reported more than 300 red troops killed or wounded. Fighter planes strafed- and firebombed 11 towns. 13-29 Superforts, grounded by snowstorms Saturday, hit two major red communications centers Sunday.

Wonsan on the east coast and Chinnampo on the west coast. B-26 light bombers blasted three trAins in the Kunu area of northwest Korea Sunday. In all of Sunday's operations, the FEAF reported destroying or damaging nearly 500 buildings, 50 railroad cars, 10 locomotives, two bridges, four tanks, 17 gun positions and 70 vehicles.

Title two authorized the President to delegate to war agencies the power to enter into war contracts without regard to existing legal restrictions. This, in effect, provides for contract renegotiation. in addition to Rayburn and McCormack, the other members of the congressional "Big Four" Vice President Barkley and Senate Democratic Leader Lucas attended the conference. They said the first hour was devoted entirely to a thorough military briefing by Secretary of Defense Marshall, the joint chiefs of staff and the secretaries of the army. navy and air force.

(P) Peace officers took up the hunt again today for a backtracking, circling woodsman in the Apache canyon wilderness 25 miles north of Santa Fe. They are looking for 52-year-old Luciam Harris. a steamlitter who shot a rival to death and kidnaped HOUSTON, Dec. 18. A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death last night because he refused to give up his 15-cent bus fare as tribute to a 19-year-old youth.

Police today arrested a suspect, but he was not charged immediately. From witnesses, police developed this story: The youth approached David Rodriguez, the victim; Manuel Zapata. 17, and Zapata's brother, Refugia, 14, David's companions. with a knife and demanded their money. David refused.

Zapata gave him 5 cents. Then the youth struck David and the Zapata brothers ran. They returned later to find David dead from five stab wounds. His 15 cents still was in his pocket. NARROWS BRIDGE BOOMS TACOMA SEATTLE, Dec.

18. (UP)--Seattle business men are being bit in the pocketbook as a result of the new Tacoma Narrows bridge. A survey published yesterday by the Seattle Times showed the new bridge was diverting an increasing amount of the huge Olympic peninsula trade from Seattle to Tacoma. Seattle's failure to keep pace with Tacoma was blamed on the higher cost and slowness of Puget sound ferries in comparison with the bridge route. Local business men said the loss of the Kitsap-Olympic peninsula trade to Tacoma would be as serious as the loss of the entire Alaska trade.

The peninsula has a population of more than 100,000 persons.

UM-- Democratic leaders counted today on American sympathy for the underdog in attempt to rally support for Secretary of State Acheson in the face of formal GOP demands for his ouster. Two Influential Democratic senators who didn't want to be quoted by name told reporters they think public reaction to the Republican stand may help solidify support for Acheson if he stays on. One high administration authority who asked not to be named said President Truman is ''absolutely determined" to stick by Aeheson and has no intention of yielding to the Republican groups in both the senate and the house which voted last Friday their belief that Acheson has lost the confidence of the country and should be replaced. On the other hand, there were reports circulating in congress of a possible move by President Truman to quiet the GOP opposition. These report sand they weren't vouched for by anyone in authoritywere to the effect that if Acheson quits Mr.

Truman might ask Chief Justice Fred Vinson to leave the supreme court and take over the state portfolio. Administration Democrats who think the secretary is going to stay on apparently have been neartened by signs that Republican unity is not all it seems on the surface. power projects can produce girl.

By IIAL BOYLE WITH THE UNITED STATES EIGHTH ARMY, KOREA, Dec. 18. (iP)--Many former boot and spur officers feel Korea would be a good theater for the American army to make a test revival of horse cavalry. The army sadly gave up its four-legged cavalry, famous for its Civil war and frontier Indian campaigns, after adverse reports from frontline commanders in World war They said they could find no use for the faithful animals on the modern battlefields of Europe. So the hooves lost out to the tank treads.

But some officers believe Old Dohbin still has a place on the battlefields of Asia. They think there Is still a potential military use here for the combat kinship and love and discipline that exists hetween trained men and trained animals working together. "This in beautiful terrain for horse cavalry," said Maj. ham Cochrane a mining engineer from Joplin, Mo. "They can raise a lot of hell.

Chinese have used horse cavalry units well here because of the nature of the land. The rugged hills and the poor roads give them Mn advantage in certain conditions Over infantry and tanks. I think we could do the same thing with them if we had them." In a retarded land much as Korea the cavalry horse serves both as a combat personnel vehicle and a supply vehiele. It can carry a noldler into bettle or bring up to him the food and water and ammuni-, tion he needs if he is dug Into al defensive position in Isolated country. And It can do this over narrow trails that defy tracked treads or wheels.

In this respect Major Cochrane put in a plug for a product of his own home statethe Missouri mule, which had a distinguished record in World war "It is still true that a mule can go any place a man can go without using his hands," Cochrane said "And it can carry a soldier safely over mountain paths a man wouldn't want to risk going across on his own feet." Speed Is Important But he sees the chief virtues of horse cavalry outfits here as their ability to stage surprise ambushes and the speed edge they sometimes have over both foot troops end armor In making smash hit-and-run raids in force. The views of Cochrane, an intelligence officer in the Seventh cavalry regiment once led by General Custer, are shared by other competent soldiers over here who have had to deal with Mongol troops sweeping forward on shaggy Asian ponies. And naturally these views thrill the hearts of all the old retired cavalrymen. Naturally they like to feel that the military branch they gave their lives to still hasn't been outmoded altogether by metal monsters that never nuzzle the hand that feeds them. It is at least an even bet that if there Is a great war yet to he fought In Asia by American troops the hoofbeats ot a reborn Amer-lean horse cavalry will thunder across the plains and echo in the movxtrlins.
