Allied Pilots Win As New Air Battles Fought

By John Randolph

U. S. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD- QUARTERS, Korea. Sept. 20 -(Thursday) -(A!')- Red forces struck beck hard in Eastern Kor- ea Wednesday and sized a key hill in a day of fast action that saw a new flare-up of the air war.

Allied jet pilots won three air battles with Russian-made jets over "Mtg Alley" in Northwest Korea. As many as 112 jets were engaged. The Feed Air Force lost one jet destroyed and five dam- aged. No Allied losses were report- ed.

Reds In Bombing Raids

After nightfall. two or three unidentified planes-- presumably Communist--flew through Allied anti-aircraft fire and made bomb- ing and strafing attacks on front ground positions in western Korea. There "was no mention of damage in a. pooled dispatch.

The jet battles raged from al- most ground level to 30,000 feet. Allied planes were outnumbered in all three engagements.

Heavy ground fighting centred in the rugged eastern hills where a gain or loss is measured in alti- tude. not miles.

Korean Communists hurled three savage counterattacks at Allied infantry men who had won a commanding peak on "Heart- break Ridge." The third Red charge broke Allied resistance.

It was a bitter blow to foot soldiers who clawed their way to the top Tuesday. carrying the heights in three hours of hand-t.o- hand combat. -

Bitter Fighting

Wednesday's reverse was only one phase of the hill fights that have become one of the greatest battles of the Korean war. From northeast of Yangu on the east- ern end of the Hwachon reservoir eastward almost to the Sea of Japan was a series of Imail act- ions that for sheer bitterness have had no parallel in this war.

other U. N. soldiers defended a

peak northeast of Yanggu for the second consecutive day. A Com- munist regiment was heating at the position. , Farther east Allied units halted two smaller Communist counter- blows on hill positions northwest of lnje.

the restaurants' "excessive prices are curbing consumption at a time when fruits and vegetables are in peak production."

"When a customer complains about food prices in restaurants." he said. "he is given at sympathe- tic smile and told that high prices demanded by producers and wholesalers are entirely to blame."

Mr. Burrows offcrcd examples of what he termed "price goug- ing at the expense of the pub- lie." with early Mclntosh and Melba nppics selling from 52 to 52.25 a bushel-"about one cent per apple"-an Ottawa hotel was offering them for dessert at 15 cents apiece.

Labor Par-t-y Prestige Said At Low Ebb

(By Fraser wlghtnn)

LONDON; Sept. 19 -(Reuters) -Britain will hold a national election Oct. 25, giving Winston Churchill h i 3 lo n g - awaited chance to make a. comeback as leader after six years of social- ism.

Prime Minister Attlee gave the news tonight in a BBC broad- cast. ' He said Parliament. now in re- cess. will be recalled Oct. 4. and dissolved by royal proclamation Oct. 5. The new Parliament will assemble Oct. 31.

The King will hold a stale opening of the new Parliament

ov. 6.

In a public statement tonight Conservative leader Winston Churchill said:

"The British nation now has the opportunity of bringing a

new view to bear upon our Jour- ney Ihrough these anxious and difficult times.

"It can. if it chooses. place in power a government which will try its best to solve our many problems at home and abroad without being biased by privilege or vested interest and without being misled by class warfare or doctrinal fallacies.

"The road will be hard and up- hill. but if we enter with cour- age upon a period of stable. tol- erant and progressive adminis- tration. there is no reason why we should not secure a better way of life at home and once again play our full part in pre- serving the peace and freedom of the world."

Attic-e's Statement

Attlce in his radio address said: "For 15 months the Govern-

ment hns carried on the affairs of the country with a very small majority in the House of Com- mons. I consider the time has now come to ask the electors for l renewal of confidence in the Government. and to give it ade- quate parliamentary support in order to deal with the important issues with which the country is faced at home and abroad."

Standing of the parties in the G25-seat House of Commons now is: Labor 313: Conservatives and allies 297: Liberals 9: Indepen- dent 1; Irish Nationalists 2; va- cant, 3.

Labor has an effective major- ity of six.

''I have therefore asked the Kinr. for whose speedy restor- ation in full health we all pray. to grnnl. a dissolution of Parlia- ment." Attlee said.

Labor Prestige

His statement followed at week

of speculation and rumor over whether Attlee would risk an election when the prestige of

his party is reckoned to be at its lowest.

The socialists are internally divided over rearmament. Cost of living is rising daily. a. fuel crisis is threatened for the win- ter and 5,000,000 trade unionists have demanded wage increases.

But for Churchill. now '76. this will be the best chance he has had of recapturing the premier- ship with a working House of Commons majority since 1945. His stock is on the upgrade.

Policy on which the Labor Party is likely to fight the elec- tion is:

1. An appeal for a working majority in Parliament.

2. Full support for the en- ormous three-year arms pro- gram se the way to world peace.

.1. increased taxes on large unearned incomes.

4. A world plan for mutual aid for under-developed coun-
