Sen. Nixon Should Quit
Senator Richard M. Nixon should withdraw at once as candidate of the Republican party for the Vice-Presidency of the United States.
Otherwise he may well doom his party and the can¬ didacy of the gallant General of the Armies Dwight D. EiMnhower to defeat.
With the basic issue raised by the Republicans that oi corruption in government, Nizon'g undeclared accept¬ ance of $18,000 from uniden¬ tified supporters for undis¬ closed motives makes him unfit to level such charges at others.
Furthermore, his explana¬ tion, that the disclosure was a "Communistic smear," is ridiculous and  juvenile.
It may well be that when the full story is revealed. Senator Nixon will be shown: as honest and even lincere.
¦However, he still will ap¬ pear extremely lacking ini sound judgement. j
It must be remembered that, if elected to the office; he now seeks, he would be; first in line to the presidency' of the United States, the big-| gest Job on earth.
He hot demonstrated that he doe* not hove tbe qual iflcortionf.
'OLD BALDY' IS
TOKYO, Sunday—United Na¬ tions Infantrymen recaptured "Old Baldy" today snd stormed to the top of bitterly-cont^lted "Kelly" Hill.
The Jaws of the two-pronged UN assault on "Old Baldy" snapped shut at 7:15 a.m., wiping out one small group ot Chinese which had doggedly misted the charge.
The strategic western front strongpoint was seized by Allied troops, who befuddled the Reds with dummy feints and failed ^radio messages in tbe early mem- ing hours.
Shortly after "Old Bald/'  fefl,
United Press staff correspondent
r Warren  Franklin   reported   other
UX units had slugged their way
to the peak of "Kelly Hill."
Franklin said Allied infantrymen were battling the Reds toe-to-toc in the topmost shell-battered bunli- ers and trenches of the hill.
The Allies seized the initiative from the Chinese Communists in both battles to retake the blood- soaked hill from which they had been driven Tursday night. They fought in the tight of flares drop¬ ped by Red planes.
Fanklln reported combat on "Kelly" Hill, were a Puerto Rican force was wiped out by the Red assault Thursday, was "probably the most savage fight they have bad for that position."

Nixon Refusing to Resign As Republican Candidate
Insists the Facts Prove Integrity; Hits Corruption
ABOARD NIXON CAMPAIGN TRAIN—Sen. Richard Nixon kept pluggring away at Democratic corruption as the theme of his whistie-stop campaign tour into Oregon Saturday and told those seeking his resdgnation aa Repub¬ lican vice-presidential nominee that the facts about his expense fund would prove his integrity.
To newspaper demands he resign, Nixon replied with a terse one- sentence statement which said:
"The disclosure of all the facts which I have dlreoted Mr. I>ana Smith to release today will clear up the honest misunderstandings upon which these editorials were bssed."

Expecf Terrible H-Bomb To Be Tested This Month
WASHINGTON — Informed sources here are convinced the hydrogen bomb is about to enter America's atomic arsenal.
They believe the world's first H-bomb will be exploded this month or next in tests conducted by the Atomic Energy Commis¬ sion at Enlwetok Atoll, its mid- Pacific  proving ground.
No official has stated publicly that an H-bomb will be among the "nuclear devices" detonated at Kniwetok this fall. But Rep. Carl T. Durham (D-N.C.). acting chair- man of the House-:Senate Atomic Energy committee, said last week that one  of the forthcoming ex¬
plosions will be "greater than has ever been set off before." "Open Up Oravest Era"
He would not confirm that It will be a hydrogen explosion. But he said it "will open up the gravest era In the history of the world."
Observers here feel certain he was referring to what others have called "The Hydrogen  Era."
Sen. Brien McMahon (D-Conn.), chairman of the Atomic commit¬ tee until his death in July, said in his last public message on June 1* that "we are crossing the threshhold into the hydrogen era (Continued on Page A-10)
Mysterious New Device Giving U. S. Big Edge in Korea Air War
TOKYO—United .Nations Sabre jets, some armed with a mysterious new device, gave the Communists one of their worst beatings of the Korean War the'past week by shooting down 16 MIG-15 jet fighters, it was announced today.
Only one Sabre was lost in air-to-air combat during the week.
Allied officials in Korea, Tokyo and Washington have refused to identify the new device carried by some of the Sabrejets in Korea in recent air fighting.
The Defense Department identified it only as a "gadget or gimmick," but one offi- cial in Washington said it could be credited for the one-sided course the air war has taken recently.
said the senator's statement was in reply to editorials carried In the Washington Post and New York Herald Tribune, suggesting Nixon resign "for the good of the party."
(Portland, Ore,—Sen. Richard M. Nixon last night refused to comment on a report that Dwight D. Eisenhower will insist that he be "as clean as a hound's tooth" regarding his acceptance of an $18,000 political "expense" fund.
(EiaenhoWer was said to be hoping fervently Nixon can prove "clean hands" but that if he falls he almost certainly will be encouraged to remove himself from the Republican national ticket.
(One isriterfon of Eisenhower's Judgment on the Nixon affair, the source said, will be what his running mate did with the money) '
Nixon's train arrived in Port¬ land, Ore., at 5:35 p.m. PDT and waa met by a band playing "CJall- fornia Here I Come" and a crowd of about 2,000. He went through downtown Portland In a motor¬ cade and then to his hotel. Among those in the crowd were men wear¬ ing dark glasses, carrying tin cups and signs which read "Nickles for Nixon."

Soft Coal Mines Of North Agree On New Contract
WASHINGTON.—The United Mine Workers and Northern soft coal producers agreed Saturday on a new contract which averted a strike at midnight Sunday and gave 170,000 miners a $1.90 daily wage increase.

If Nixon fails he almost cer tainly will be encouraged to get off the Republican national ticket.
Eisenhower's attitude was dis¬ closed by an unimpeachable source as he rolled across Missouri en¬ route to St. Louis for a speech last night. Where Did It Oof
One criterea of Eisenhower's judgment on the Nixon affair will be what Nixon h«ui done with the money. If it waa used only to persue his fight against Commun¬ ists and corruption, as Nixon said, the (xeneral will be satisfied. But it will be a different matter if even one cent of the money was used for any personal purpose.
Until all the facts are in_ how¬ ever, Eisenhower will stick to his statement that he believes Nixon would do nothing wrong.
At the time Eisenhower's atti¬ tude toward hia running mate was elaborated on, he had not been in¬ formed of a statement by Nixon outlining seven "basic facts" about hts use of the money. Nixon is¬ sued the statement while cam¬ paigning In Oregon. Elsenhower Baffled
There still haa been no decision on whether the fund affair might force Nixon off the (JOP ticket ot destroy "corruption" as a top GOP issue in the preside/ttial campaign.
The miners' average basic daily wage rate now is $16.35. They work an average of three days a week. ,
Pattern for Others
The agreement is expected to set the wage pattern for some 270,000  other  miners.
There are 30,000 miners in the Illinois   Coal   Operators   Associa¬ tion  not  covered  immediately  by the  contract.   However,   the  Illi nois group has agreed to abide by the  terms  of  the  contract  nego tiated   with   the   Northern   pro ducers.
Iljere are 100,000 miners in the Southern soft coal Industry who can strike Oct. 1. It is expected the Southern group will be forced to go along with the Northern agreement although a Southern official  called   it  "awful  rough."
An additional 75,000 miners em I ployed  we.st of  Ohio,   but  who; employers are not in operator as¬ sociations,   also  will  get   tlie   in¬ crease sooner or later.
the higher contribution by their employers to the welfare fund.
The new contract will run from Oct. 1, this year, to Oct. 1, 1958.
The wage boost increases the miners' average basic daily wa^e to $18.25 a dsy.
Lewis called tbe settlement a "triumph of collective bar^Un* ing."
Moses said the settlement would cost the operators about 32 cents an hour and that overall costs of the agreement would be "some¬ thing under" 40 cents for each ton of coal mined. To Seek Higher Celling
Moses said the wage boost av¬ eraged an 11.6 per cent increase in miners' pay. He ssdd the North¬ ern operators will seek an in¬ crease in the ceiling price of coal, "although the selling price is now substantially below ceiling."
The industry leader said he was "satisfied" with the contract but, to a question by a reporter, said he "couldn't say 'pleased'."
Terms of the agreement still will  have to be approved by the

Supreme Court Justice May Face Fraud Hearing
WASHINGTON — Justice C. Clark of the Supreme C!ourt faced a possible summons before a house committee to answer charges he "extracted" documents on the Kansas City vote frauds scandal from FBI files five years ago when he was Attorney Gen¬ eral.
Members of the subcommittee investigating the department of juatice said they will inspect the documents Monday and then de¬ cide whether Clark should be questioned at a public hearing.
Rep. Claude I. Bakewell (R-Mo.) said FBI Director J. Edgar Hoo¬ ver told him Friday that Clark ordered the material from the files in June, 1947, when Hoover was vacationing. Got Material Back
Bakewell added that Hoover told  him   he   demanded   and  got
Tom the material back when Clark left the department for the Su¬ preme Court bench in 1949.
The alleged voting irregularities occurred in President Truman's home district in the 1946 con¬ gressional primaries. A senate subcommittee headed by Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.) questioned Clark about the department's handling of the case in May, 1947.
House investigators said they be¬ lieved Ferguson's group was shown the FBI files with the understanding that they were complete and said they wanted to know whether Clark deleted any¬ thing.
Clark's residence said he waa "not home" yesterday.
