'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." Two Local Men Meef in Korea, Receive Awards for Heroism Two Wilkes-Barre area soldiers who played ping-pong to¬ gether at the Cathoilc Youth Center before entering the Army, are seen above as they met for the first time in Korea last week, each to receive a Bronxe Star medal for heroism in action.

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." Nixon's aides aboard the train British Oil Policy Facing Holy War in Middle East TEHRAN—White-bearded Seyed Ka«>hani, poUtico-rehKious kingpin of the Ifiddle East, threatened Saturday to proclaim a holy war against the British unless they eased their economic sqneese on Iran.

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."

Nixon, dis closed the donations ranged up to $1,000 and came from prominent Californians, including Herbert Hoover jr., son of the fermer President, and Earl (Siimore, Los Angeles oil man. The heaviest contribution came from Keith Spalding of Pasadena, a retired business man who gave two 1500 donations to the fund.

(Continued on Page A-10) 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. UMW President .John L. Lewis triumphantly announced the accord at a Joint press conference with Harry M. Moses, chief negotiator for the Northern producers. The pact also provided an increase of 10 cents a ton by the opera¬ tors to the UMWs $100,000,000' welfare fund. The operators now ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Gen Dwight D.

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 Agreed in Hard Coal i^age Stabilization Board There Lewis and hard coal operators was some question whether the already had agreed to a condi- "^^S^ increase is not beyond what tional contract covering 65,000 miners under which the hard coal employers will boost payments Into a separate anthracite wel¬ fare fund to 50 cents a ton mined.

"Certainly the industry expects any government agency ... to ap¬ prove such a constructive agree¬ ment," Lewis said. women who would chart the na¬ tion on a four-point goal of sav¬ ing, streamlining, decentralization and unity. Sees "Moral Uprising'' The Republican presidential listen to "voices of hatred and un reason" and to approach the ad¬ mittedly difficult issue with "rea¬ son and charity," as advocated by Robert E. Lee, commanding gen¬ eral of the Confederate army. There were conflicting reports from the crash scene, but most witnesses said it happened at a turn in the tricky course.

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.

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.

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."
