LIFTING OUT THE WOUNDED—American Gi's, wounded a short time earlier during fighting on Korea's Triangle Hill, are loaded on helicopter for speedy evacuation to hospital behind bloody battle line. Fanatic Communist Troops Fail to Recapture Hills SEOUL, Korea (UP)—Hordes of screaming Chinese Reds charged recklessly through their own artillery fire Sunday and early today but failed in an attempt to recapture two important Central Front hills. U.S. and South Korean soldiers on Triangle Hill and Sniper Ridge forced back the fanatic Communists in fierce hand-to-hand fighting. Thunderous artillery, mortars and Estuah rockets supported the Communists. Allied frontline officers estimated a full regiment—$800 to $500 men—advanced on each of the hills north of Kumhwa late Sunday. At last report, the Communists held Pike's Peak, the northwestern knob of Triangle Hill. Allied troops controlled the rest of the rocky mass. After bitter hand-to-hand fighting, the Reds called off their attack at 9 a.m. today and holed up in bunkers and caves to the north. Allied fighter-bombers swooped over Papa-san Mountain, overlooking both hills, and unloaded tons of bombs, rockets and searing gasoline on the Communist staging area. Early in their assault, the Communists surrounded troops of the U.S. 7th Division on Pike's Peak. But the Americans fought their way out. They joined other U.S. troops and in a furious bayonet and grenade battle beat back Chinese who had swarmed to within 300 yards of Triangle's main crest.

Saturday Parade Date Selected For Convenience Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival officials are hopeful of larger participation in the Hallowe'en event this year because the main jinks have been planned for Saturday, Oct. 32. A complaint in the past has been that employees of many facturing plants and some retail stores could not attend the 7 a.m. parade. Conflicting Testimony Aired in Bridgford Trial Tape Recordings Wire recordings of statements made by Richard McGovern and Irving Schulman, under questioning by Anaheim police following the $17,000 Bridgeford meat robbery in Anaheim last Dec. 9, were produced in superior court at Santa Ana today by Lt. Tommv Taylor of the Anaheim police department, at the trial of McGovern and Schulman, with two other defendants, resumed before a jury. The recordings, which were played to the jury as Taylor was on the witness stand, provided directly conflicting statements from the two defendants. McGovern flatly denied being involved in the Bridgeford robbery or knowing anything about it. On the night it took place, he was in Schulman's "Squeeze Inn" in Los Angeles and when the cafe closed he went home and was with his wife and several other persons who lived with the McGovern, his statement said. Then Schulman's recording was played and the jury heard him directly implicate McGovern in the raid on the packing plant, where 70 sides of beef were loaded into a truck belonging to the plant and were driven to the plant of the Warner Provision company in Pasadena. Jack Goldberg and Morris Goldstein, proprietors of the Warner plant, also are on trial for grand theft with McGovern and Schulman. In statements that were introduced in court last week, Goldberg charged that they did not know that the meat they received had been stolen until they saw that it did not have government inspection stamps, and that when they tried to refuse it, they were threatened with a gun by Roy Wiltsie, leader of the gang, who has not been captured. Subsequently they were blackmailed into paying nearly $10,000 to Wiltsie and other gangsters, Goldberg's statement claimed. The trial continued in session this afternoon before Superior Judge Robert Gardner. Indian TV Star to Marshall Grand Parade Oct. 32; Buttons Sell Fast If everybody loves a parade, then Anaheim will be the love center of the world on Oct. 32. The pieces of the big Hallowe'en parade and all-Indian show are falling into place promising lots of color and entertainment. The festival committee this year plans to combine television with the Indian theme of the celebration by signing up an Indian star of television to be grand marshal of the parade. The name of the Indian is expected to be releaseable in a few days. However, every kid from 2 to 92 will know him. Meanwhile, the Hallowe'en lapel button sales—the campaign which finances the festival—is gaining momentum. Buttons are being distributed to retail stores and organizations so that they will be more easily obtained by the public. Up to now there has been some complaint from Anaheimers that button hawking Indians have not hove in sight for them to chase the buttons with the Indian show ticket coupons. Indians bearing buttons are centrating in the next 10 days putting a Hallowe'en button every lapel in Anaheim. If some Anaheimers are missed, they may get buttons and show coupons to the chamber of commerce office. The various divisions of the Hallowe'en parade are coming along rapidly, parade officials point out giving every indication of the best parade yet floats are being built and the folks to man the various entrances are preparing costumes. The All-Indian show to be presented at LaPalma stadium beginning at 7 p.m., has about been completed according to J. W. Sphen, chairman of the LaPalma park show. More than 20 Indians will give a fast moving show replete with thrills, color, and Indian lore.

Rupp sat near him in court this morning, waiting for his own trial to start. Court had not been in session more than a few minutes and the first prospective juror, Miss Dorothy Anderson of Santa Ana was being questioned, when Rupp's stepmother burst into tears and fled from the courtroom. His father, William F. Rupp, Sr., remained in court grimly watching the machinery of the law in action against his son. Young Rupp, who has freely admitted killing the girl last Aug. 8, after planning a sexual attack on her, sat beside his counsel, public defender N. D. Meyer, and stared at the floor. Meyer advised the court that Dr. Dorothy Stroud of Camarrillo State hospital will be a defense witness. He also asked to subpoena the records of that mental institution, where Rupp was under observation for 90 days in 1948, after he had attempted to attack a Cypress housewife when he was 14.

Cut in Wage Boost 375,000 Miners Refuse to Work To Protest Cut PITTSBURGH (UP)—Most of the country's 375,000 soft coal miners refused to work today as a protest against the government-ordered cut in the $1.90 daily wage boost they recently won from the industry. A noon survey showed at least 304,000 idle in 12 major coal producing states. West Virginia, the nation's No. 1 producing state, led with 115,000 diggers refusing to work. That figure represents the state's entire union membership. In Washington, President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers declined to comment on the spreading strike. After the WSB approved $1.50 of the pay increase, bringing the new basic daily wage to $17.85, more miners joined their idle fellow workers. The walkout came at a time when coal stocks are at a near record high. The estimated 85 million tons of stored coal is the biggest stockpile in history except for 1942 when the supply of coal above ground was around 100 million tons. Householders won't feel a coal shortage for two months or more. Most miners said they considered the WSB action as nullifying their contract. Members of the United Mine Workers traditionally won't work without a contract.
