The answer came quickly she could Mrs Mary Neuman then meandered in childlike wonderment about the house where she lives with her daughter and son-in-law Longingly she gazed at a set of plastic curtains in the kitchen and a bouquet of artificial flowers in a breakfast set Previously she had known these articles and others around the house only by touch Saturday night she fell down a flight of 12 steps bruising her forehead and right arm But the tumble restored her sight Even though the family physician believes she may have fractured her arm Mrs Neuman describes the fall as an "act of God" trality still existing in regard to the Kaesong area and I shall take prompt and appropriate disciplinary action" In a separate statement also broadcast in Korean by the armed forces radio Ridgway declared: "The incident is doubly regrettable not only because it violates standing command instructions and consequently an agreement to which the command was a body but even more so because it resulted in the death of one 12-year-old boy and the wounding of his 2-year-old brother "I know I speak for every It was the third incident admitted by the command The first involved an Allied plane which mistakenly strafed the Kaesong area but causedno damage The second was an entry into the neutral zone by unarmed South Korean medics on a DDT-spraying tour In his message to the Red commanders Ridgway said: "The report (of Allied investigators) revealed beyond any reasonable doubt that both of these attacks were made by aircraft of the command in violation of standing

Joe: Home Folks Kn Neaztbre ak Mid ge To Trample Isolationism Eisenhower Intimates Feel That One Issue Might Put Him in Race (Editor's Note Ever since General Eisenhower arrived in Paris on his NATO assignment in January Preston Grover Associated Press bureau chief there has been keeping an eye on the general's political position He has talked informally with a succession of political leaders and others who have conferred with the general including numerous officials who meet regularly or occasionally with Ike on an official or a personal level) BY PRESTON GROVER PARIS Oct 14 (JP) A large number of people who see General Eisenhower believe he will become a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and will say so in the spring Their idea is that when he makes the announcement he will get into the battle in characteristic high spirits to trample down the isolationism which they believe he feels is sprouting again in America It should not be overlooked that there are some who believe he thoroughly dislikes the idea of turning perhaps the last years of his life over to hard duty in the White House In times past he has expressed certain reservations about Army men going into public life Nevertheless those who want him to run know that he has a strong sense of duty and they seem convinced he feels his capacity for leadership is needed Isolation Is Major Issue No one here talks much about the domestic issues which he would be asked to meet should he run They feel the issue of foreign policy especially the question of isolationism will be enough to get him into the race Eisenhower is against isolation and is especially against any which would turn America against Europe He made that clear long before he came to Europe to take command of the forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization In a speech in October 1950 he said the best defense was "support of our Allies in free Europe so they shall not become the spoil of pillaging hordes" Sunday was Eisenhower's birthday He is 61 vigorous in good health and appears physically and mentally capable of enduring the hard work that comes to presidents Here too he is overworked as Is the president of the United States whoever he may be No easy problem ever reaches him Only the tough ones come up to his level and on these he works Turn to Ike Fears on Page 4 THE WEATHER By tho Cnited States

Both sides have agreed to a 1000-yard security area around the conference tent at Panmun-jom and a 3000-yard area around the United Nations advance camp at Munsan But still unsettled Sunday was the question of reducing the five-mile neutral zone around Red-held Kaesong six miles west of Panmunjom The Allied liaison officers evidently are objecting to continuing the Kaesong five-mile zone because it nearly reaches the Panmunjom security area They want the free-from-attack zones on each side at Munsan and Kaesong to be of equal size Complaint 'Mild' For Reds The liaison officers seemed to be nearing agreement when the strafing incident interrupted their negotiations The planes hit the area near Panmunjom and a hill near Kaesong An oral complaint was lodged by the Reds but it was mild compared with many previous Communist charges of neutral zone violations Allied officers investigated the complaint immediately Sunday Operation Dwindles Garbage waste disposal crewmen manning 37 trucks put a dent in garbage piles during an eight-hour stint Sunday But a few spots haven't had a pickup since crewmen began a five-day strike last Monday Those areas will be serviced Monday said George Cowan assistant to Waste Disposal Supt Otto McCoy 609 on New Casualty List WASHINGTON Oct 14 The Defense Department Sunday identified 609 additional battle casualties in Korea A new list (No 418) reported 104 killed 429 wounded 37 missing in action and 39 injured in combat accidents told of the Virgin Mary's reported appearance at Fatima to three children in 1917 Then he added according to L'Osservatore's account: "I will tell you an even more marvelous thing I will tell you that another person has seen this same miracle: he saw it outside of Fatima he saw it years later he saw it at Rome "The pope the same our pontiff Pius XII he saw it! "Was this a reward? Was this a sign of divine sovereign pleasure for the definition of the dogma of the assumption? Was this a celestial testimony authenticating the marvels of Fatima with the center with the head of truth and the Catholic magistracy? The three things together?"

Air Tells Formula Of Stolen Baby MICHIGAN CITY Ind Oct 14 A heartbroken father broadcast an appeal Sunday for good care of his 5-day-old son taken from a hospital nursery late Saturday Police of three states said they were virtually without a clue in the disappearance of Lawrence James Lyons from St Anthony's Hospital Detectives Roscoe Stevenson and Abe Mackway said Marlene Lubs a nurses' aid on duty in the nursery told them someone asked her about 4:15 Saturday "which baby was the Lyons baby" "I didn't even look around she said "I was so busy I just pointed to the baby I don't even remember if it was a man or woman" Hospital authorities said there were babies on both sides of the missing infant discounting speculation that the Lyons baby might have been taken merely because it was the

away The bull pushed young Magerus with his head but the young man fell through the fence and got away Two neighbors Alvin Stan-worth and Ralph Backes used a tractor and Backes' dog to chase the bull away from the bodies Sheriff Martin quoted neighbors as saying the bull previously attacked horses but had not been known to attack human beings It charged the three men who shot it "We drove into that field In my truck" Neighbor Butlett said Kumsong is well protected by mountains Photographer Bob Schutz reported from the front that American and South Korean foot soldiers made gains of 3000 yards in the first four hours of the drive Monday Schutz said the gains of almost a mile and a half were made "against an astonishing lack of Chinese resistance" In the assaulting forces were troops of the 24th Division and the South Korean 2nd and 6th Divisions The lack of intense infantry fighting in this sector contrasted sharply with the recent raging battles on the western and eastern fronts There Chinese and Korean Reds had contested every yard The Allied force has seized 19 hills in the advance two of the most important ones Sunday One is 2000 feet high Schutz reported the Chinese troops were of apparently unusually poor quality Whether these teen-age and middle-age scrapings from the Chinese military barrel are the main defense of the Kumsong sector or whether they are only a forward screening force remains to be seen It was possible however that they are only advance troops For as late as two weeks ago veteran professionals from the Chinese Red army were fighting a knockdown drag out battle with South Koreans for the strategic hills southeast of Kumsong The Chinese attacks then were so severe that the South Koreans lost the hills twice to Red counterattacks before they finally were secured for the United Nations after a two-week battle 66 Soldiers Fall 111 After Mess Hall Meal CAMP STONEMAN Cal Oct 14 (jp) The Army said Sunday night that 66 soldiers were

SILLS FARMER AS COWS STMT FOR VATICAN CITY Oct 14 (P Federico Cardinal Tedeschini told pilgrims at the shrine of Fatima in Portugal Saturday that the Virgin Mary appeared three times to Pope Pius XII during the 1950 Holy Year The cardinal who is the arch-priest of St Peter's Basilica attended ceremonies at the shrine as the pontiffs delegate His address was printed almost in full by the Vatican newspaper L'os-servatore Romano The pope said Cardinal Tedeschini saw the vision in the rays of the sun on Oct 30 Oct 31 and Nov 1 1950 It was on Nov 1 that the pope formally proclaimed the dogma of

gaze from the Vatican gardens to the sun" The pope again and again during his reign has indicated his veneration of the Mother of Jesus Christ In his radio message to Fatima Saturday he urged Catholics to pray to Her to hasten the hour when "from one end of the world to the other" may be heard the evangelical hymn "Glory to God and Peace to Men of Good Wilt" He made no mention of the visions reported by Cardinal Tedeschini His pronouncement of the dogma of the assumption was the first in 100 years by a pope Some Vatican sources say he will go down in Roman Catholic history as "the pope of the assumption" DURANGO Iowa Oct 14 (JP) A bull enraged when its owner started to drive the cows to the barn for milking killed the farmer and his wife Sunday Dead were Mike and Anna Magerus
