Soviets Told U.S.
Bent on World
Domination
By EDDY GILMORE
MOSCOW, (JP) — Georgi M.
Malenkov told the world’s Com
munists last night “bosses” of the
United States are bent on world
domination through a war with
the Soviet Union, and the USSR
therefore “is strengthening and
will strengthen its defense capa
bilities.”
Joseph Stalin looked on as Mal
enkov.(along with V. M. Molotov
considered a probably heir to the
Stalin mantle) delivered an hours
long address to the opening ses
sion of the 19th congress of the
All - Union Soviet Communist
party. Jie denounced the U. S.
“ruling circles” and laid down
the Communist program for the
future.
Malenkov portrayed President
Truman and other American lead
ers as plotting world domination
and driving the capitalist world
toward economic breakdown and
war. But the USSR is prepared to
cooperate with the U.S. and other
pow-ers for peace, Malenkov said.
tOn the surface, at least, this
appears to contradict the words of
Stalin published last Thursday).
Stalin said there was more likeli
hood of war between capitalist na
tions than between the USSR and
the capitalist world, because of
contradictions in the capitalist
system’s competition for markets.
However, the point Malenkov
appears to be making is that the
Soviet Union will continue to
build its “defensive” might to the
utmost, to thwart plans of would
be “imperialist aggressors.”
Searchlight Replaces Five
Inch Guns Aboard U.S.
Destroyer Off Korea
Aboard U.S. Destroyer Walker
off Korea, (vP)—Lookouts on this
destroyer spotted North Korean
work parties trying to clear debris
of a bomb - wrecked train near
Songjin recently.
The Walker fired its five-inch
guns. The workmen fled at the
first flash. Soon they were back.
A§^n the Walker’s guns flashed
and the workers scattered.
Ensign Dennis O’Conno’r, Hono
lulu, suggested flashing the
searchlight on the beach, five
miles away. It worked. Time and
again the Reds ran for cover at
the quick flick of the 24-inch
searchlight beam.
The destroyer’s skipper, Comdr.
Marion C. Walley, messaged the
nearby Canadian destroyer Iro
qouis:
“Have discovered that search
light flashes shoreward scatter
workmen very effectively. Am
conserving ammunition and pos
sibly running them to death. Re
quest services of two Indians and
a blanket to furnish smoke to go
with searchlight flashes.”
28,000-Ton Freighter Launched,
First Since War's End in Japan
KOBE, Japan, (iP)—The 28,000
ton Panamanian oil tanker Pat
ricia, the biggest ship of its kind

Kefauver Asserts Future .
Of Alaska Lies With
The Democratic Party
VANCOUVER, Wash., (/P)—'The
future of Alaska lies with the
Democratic party which has long
worked for Alaska statehood and
more,” Sen. Estes Kefauver told
a Democratic rally here Sunday
night.
Kefauver, campaigning in the
northwest for the Adlai Steven
son-John Sparkman ticket, said
statehood alone was not enough
for the territory “which means so
much to the future of the great
Pacific Northwest and of Amer
ica.”
“This is a great frontier,” he
said. “We must have an affirma
tive policy for the industrial de
velopment of Alaska. Ours is the
party with the vision to bring this
about ... it has been and will
continue to be an integral part of
the Democratic party’s basic pol
icy to see to it that Alaska takes
her place in the total development
of the Northwest.”
Russia Ousts U.S. Envoy
On Grounds of Slander
WASHINGTON, </P) — The
United States is expected to hit
back soon at Russia for ousting
Ambassador George F. Kennan on
grounds he “slandered” the So
viets by comparing American life
in Moscow to his internment by
the Nazis.
Secretary of State Acheson and
his principal aides started study
ing means of retaliation as soon
as Moscow’s demands for Ken
nan’s recall Friday plunged troub
led American - Soviet relations
into a new crisis.
Acheson, after a telephone con
ference with President Truman,
forecast there probably would be
a sharp new protest note to the
Kremlin shortly. Officials looked
for the Moscow post to be left
vacant for a long time as an ex
pression of American resentment.
The United States could expel
newly-arrived Soviet Ambassador
Georgi N. Zarubin, but Acheson
told newsmen there was “no pre
sent indication” of doing this. He
apparently ruled out any idea of
breaking off diplomatic relations.
As far as officials could deter
mine, it was the first time in his
tory an American ambassador has
been ousted on the ground he was
persona non grata, or personally
unacceptable.
The episode overshadowed an
other major diplomatic develop
ment — the replacement of Sir
Oliver Franks as British ambas
sador in Washington by Sir Roger
Makins. Franks asked to be re
lieved after four years in the U.S.
capital.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky served the demand for
Kennan’s recall almost on the
eve of the Russian Communist
Congress opening Sunday in Mos
cow. Some authorities viewed it
as part of a propaganda curtain
raiser.
The demand was based on re
marks made by Kennan Sept. 19
in West Germany. He compared
life of Americans in Moscow with
the internment he underwent in
Nazi Germany after Pearl Har
bor.
Swiss Climbers
Today Try For
Top of Ml. Everest
NEW DELHI, India, (JP) — Six
Swiss mountain climbers toiled
up the bleak slopes of uncon
quered Mount Everest today for
a final struggle toward the snow
covered summit, five and a half
miles high. No man has ever
climbed this world’s tallest peak
and returned to tell about it.
It was the second attempt this
year for the Swiss party. One of
the team, Raymond Lambert,
climbed to within 900 feet of the
summit May 38 before fierce
storms drove him back. A husky
Alpine mountain guide, Lambert
lost all his toes and several fing
ers while guiding a climbing party
up Mount Blanc on the French
Swiss-Italian border during the
bitter winter, of 1938-39.
The six men left their base
camp, 12,200 feet up in the high
Himalayas, yesterday. Two men
will be chosen at the last advance
camp to make the final effort to
reach the top.
Their success or failure likely
will be unknown to the world
for at least three weeks after their
final climb toward the peak.
Sen. Sparkman
Lists His 8-Year
Income §89,497
WASHINGTON, (A>) — Senator
John J. Sparkman, the Demo
cratic vice prseidential nominee,
listed his income today for each
of the last eight years. The gross
■amount was $89,497.71.
The Alabama senator went over
his state and federal income tax
returns with newsmen in his of
fice. He declined, however, to
make public the tax returns of
his wife, who works in his office
as a receptionist.
The returns showed that his
principal income had been his
■salary as a member of the House
and, later, the Senate. Other
sources he listed included a rented
farm and house in Alabama and
dividends from mutual invest
ment funds.
Sparkman said that as “q mat
ter of principle,” he was not going
to disclose the tax returns of his
wife. He said that she handles her
own finances and he saw no need
to go into her returns.
In replying to a question, he
told reporters that he “positively”
has never transferred anything to
his wife.
In disclosing his tax returns the
senator followed the lead of Gov.
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
nominee for President.
Sen Richard Nixon, the Repub
lican vice presidential nominee,
had challenged Stevenson and
Sparkman to reveal their finan
cial status in a nation-wide broad
cast in which he said he had
“bared his soul” in explaining a
controversial $18,000 fund a group
of Californians raised to help him
meet Nixon’s senatorial expenses.
Sunday’s World Series
Game Was A Thriller
Before 70,536 Fans
By GAYLE TALBOT
BROOKLYN, (£>)—The official
World Series program says on
page 25 that if Duke Snider gets
hot / “he can break this series
wide open.”
They can write that again.
Yesterday, the Duke, along with
Dodger outfielders Carl Furillo
and Andy Pafko-, hit a torrid pace
in Brooklyn’s 11-inning, 6-5 vic
tory over the New York Yankees.
It gave Brooklyn a three to two
edge yi the series.
All Casey Stengel could talk
about was Pafko and Furillo going
up in the stands and practically
mingling with the crowd in right
field to- rob his team of two home
runs.
Some thought that Pafko made
the greater catch when he leaped
to make a one-handed stab of
Gene Woodling’s long belt in the
second inning. Others thought
Furillo’s robbery of Mize for the
second oyt in the 11th won the
prize.
It was a brawling game in
which so many things happened
that it was difficult to get a
very clear picture of it in retro
spect. First there was Snider
bringing the great crowd of 70,635
to its feet, and then Mize, only a
few minutes later, rendering them
virtually delirious with his mighty
three-run slam into the chairs for
the 2,000th hit of his career.
Again there was Snider tying
it up at 5-5 with a line single in
the seventh, and finally the Duke
winning it with his double in the
11th.
Today the Y.ankees won 3 to
2 over the Dodgers, bringing the
Series score to 3 games apiece.
Tomorrow's game will decide the
winner and the world champions.
Communist Fight
Marines To Standstill
By GEORGE A. McARTHUR
SEOUL, (JP) — U. S. Marines
fought through six bloody hours
of Chinese Communist artillery
and machine gun fire today in a
futile effort to recapture an im
portant hill position on Korea’s
western front.
Leathernecks of the Seventh
Marine Regiment slugged their
way close to the crest of the low
outpost hill, but the Reds held
fast.
U. S. Sabre jets and Commun
ist MIG-15s tangled twice over
North Korea Monday. The U. S.
Fifth Air Force said four MIGs
were damaged.
Village of Huslia Moves
To Edge of New Airfield
FAIRBANKS, {JP) —- Residents
of the village of Huslia, north of
the Arctic Circle in interior Alas
ka, some time back petitioned the
Alaska Department of Aeronau
tics for a new airstrip.
The department gave them the
airfield but was forced to locate
it two miles from the village.
The 2,400-foot strip was fin
ished this week and Huslia’s resi
dents promptly began the diffi
cult task of moving their village,
bag & baggage, to a new location
at the edge of the airfield.
Truman-Ike Feud
Will Highlight
Last of Campaign
(By the Associates Press)
Gov. Adlai Stevenson was shift
ing his emphasis theme today
amid signs that a ripsnorting Tru
man-Eisenhower feud will high
light the final month of the presi
dential campaign.
From using deft jabs to poke
verbally at Republicans and GOP
nominee Eisenhower, Stevenson
apparently has switched to power
house swings.
Eisenhower, completing his
first cross-continental drive, open
ed his bid for Washington’s nine
electoral “votes with a speech in
Spokane. The general has scrap
ped his “no personalities” tactics
and aides look for him to rip into
President Truman from now on
as he did Saturday night in Fargo,
N.D. He said Truman had “fired
salvo after red hot salvo at me.”
The general said they were “noisy
but harmless blanks” he didn’t
mind because he had been hit at
by “real artillery.”
ft appeared Eisenhower may
aim his heaviest fire at Truman
rather than at Steevnson, thus fo
cusing campaign attention on the
President.
Truman hit anew at Eisenhower
and the GOP in a speech today
at Brigham Young University in
Provo, Utah.
Eisenhower, he said, has swal
lowed “isolationism whole.”
