The section dealing with that authority says wage controls would have to be put into effect generally whenever price ceiling had been established on a selective basis "on materials, services and property comprising a substantial part of all sales at retail and materially affecting the cost of living." Senator Glen Taylor, the guitar-picking former actor who ran for the vice presidency on Henry A. Wallace's Progressive ticket in 1948, will find out tomorrow whether Idaho Democrats want to keep him in the Senate. Nebraska and Arkansas voters will also hold primaries and Connecticut has five District Democratic conventions tomorrow. But national interest focuses chiefly on Idaho, where Republicans and Democrats name candidates for two Senate seats. The Republican candidates and one of Taylor’s Democratic opponents, former Senator D. Worth Clark, have accused the senator of associating with communist-front organizations. Since his return to the Democratic fold after the Progressive slate failed to win a single electoral vote in 1948, Taylor has been a strong supporter of the Truman administration on nearly all domestic issues. He has also dropped his appeals for U.S. efforts to patch up relations with Russia, and has supported this country's direct military aid to South Korea in fighting the invasions from the communist north. Elsewhere, Connecticut Democrats chose nominees for House seats in five district meetings. State wide tickets have been picked in conventions. Arkansas Democrats will have a chance to vote in a primary for Senator J. William Fulbright and six incumbent Democratic representatives, all unopposed. Nebraska will choose candidates for governor and four House seats. No Senate seat is involved. The campaign has been a quiet one. Gov. Val Peterson is seeking Republican renomination for a third term. He is opposed by Ernest Adams of Omaha. Five, including Rep. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff, are in the race for the Democratic nomination. Korean War (Continued from Page 1) pose their positions to Fifth Air Force fighters and bombers. A staff officer said "the air boy bad more and better targets to day than they have had in a long time." The attack roared out Sunday after U.S. artillery laid down a curtain of steel and U.S. plane spat bombs, rockets and machine gun fire at the enemy. The red replied with heavy artillery fire directed against American big gun positions. In Washington the U.S. Army announced that confirmed American casualties for the Korean War through August 6 totaled 2616—including 153 killed, 1590 wounded in action and 873 missing. While President Truman got complete briefing on the military situation from his Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Defense Department warned against considering developments in Korea as the beeginning of a general U.N. offensive. A department briefing of ficer said the development should be termed an "offensive action, adding: Nothing looks so good as your own HOME. Many local families are acquiring the home they want, this summer, with financing on our practical HOME loan plan. Loans are worked out to fit your needs and your income. Why not have a talk with one of our home loan advisers? No obligation.

B-29s Strike While the new U.N. offensive got under way in the southern most part of Korea, B-29s superfortresses made their biggest strike of the war against communist supplies. The Superfortress dropped 540 tons of bombs on railyards at Pyongyang, the red capital, and on an oil refinery at Wonsan. Pyongyang got priority treatment, its railyards getting 160 tons of the bombs. All the bombers returned to their bases. The American attack was launched Sunday even as the communists were preparing an attack on their own. The reds struck on the U.S. right flank. The primary communist threat still lay some 14 miles north of the new American thrust. In the area of the big bend in the Naktong river, the U.S. 24th Division holds defensive positions against strong probing thrusts by the reds. The communists have crossed the Naktong twice in strength, but one force was wiped out Sunday and another was being contained, headquarters said. Anaheim Men (Continued from Page One) The Navy's Seventh Fleet, which is spearheading Naval attacks against Korean communist forces. The U.S. aircraft planes of the Navy have flown from the (Nevin's) carrier on numerous strikes, inflicting great damage by use of rockets, bombs, and incendiary projectiles against enemy ground and air installations. The Seventh Fleet is additionally charged with the special mission of preventing an invasion of 'Middle Westerners' Slug and Rob Man T. L. Wilmoth, 24, Santa Ana, reported to the Sheriff's office that two strangers, both having a "middle west accent," held him up and robbed him Sunday evening at the rear of the South Seas cafe on Haster street, south of Anaheim. Wilmoth said the two men invited him to go back of the cafe for a drink and that one of them stuck a gun in his back and forced him to lie face down on the floor of their car. Then they slugged him on the floor and knocked him senseless. He awoke on the ground at the back of the cafe and discovered that his wallet containing $9 was missing. Sheriff's officers said that the "middle west accent" was "not much of a clue." "Nearly everybody in this part of the country should have such an accent, because that's where most of us came from," said Chief Criminal Investigator Herman Stahl. ANAHEIM WOMAN NAMED AS ESTATE HEIRESS Mrs. M. J. Latham Howell, of Route 2, Anaheim, was named one of the heirs to the estate of her brother-in-law, the late Francis Meredith, it was disclosed today as the will was filed for probate in superior court. Mr. Meredith, who died July 23, left real and personal property valued "in excess of $10,000," according to Bank of America's petition to probate the will. Real estate in West Virginia was left to a nephew in that state. The residue was divided into 13 equal shares, one going to Mrs. Latham, the others to relatives of the deceased in West Virginia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Harry Bridges Seeks Release On Writ Today SAN FRANCISCO (P)—Harry Bridges' lawyers will seek his release from jail today on a writ of habeas corpus. The president of the CIO Longshoremen's union was taken into custody Saturday after Federal Judge George Harris revoked Bridges' $25,000 bail. Counsel for the labor leader said they would ask the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a writ of habeas corpus. They also said they would appeal to a higher court for his release on bail, contending that Harris went beyond legal precedents in ordering Bridges imprisoned. Harris held Bridges to be a menace to national security, and granted the department of justice petition for cancellation of bail. The court termed Bridges "probably one of the most cogent figures in the communist party in America today," adding: "As such, his allegiance cannot be to the United States of America. His conduct since the beginning of the Korean crisis and his remarks during this (court) proceeding are of such a nature as to justify this court in concluding that his loyalty and allegiance are and must be with the communists."

"Tex" Hanson, 30 of Santa Ana, 21st district commander of the American Legion, into police court tomorrow on a charge of assault and battery. Complaining witness is Max Rash, young Santa Ana Legionnaire who was active in the Manchester Boddy senatorial campaign this year, and has done some cruising against gambling. Dissatisfied with the Legion's policies, he said, Rash investigated procedure for establishing a new Legion post in Santa Ana, a course which eventually brought him to the district commander, for information on requirements. During their discussion, Rash charges, Hanson beat him about the head and face. Rash later was observed wearing a bruised and discolored mouth and cut lip. He obtained a formal complaint from City Attorney John Colwell and a warrant for Hanson's arrest from City Judge Ronald Crookshank. Hanson, who is manager of the city's housing project, Casa de Santa Ana, near the municipal bowl, appeared voluntarily at the city court when he heard the warrant was issued. His hearing was set for Tuesday at 9 a.m. NOTDOG!—Legion-run concession booth at La Palma Park feeds hungry fans during the current baseball tournament.
