Herfeeit Lehman (D-N.Y.) yes¬ terday charged that Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his followers have "little concern for the real Communist threat" and would adopt "the evil means of Com¬ munist strategy" to gain power for themselves. Lehman urged 900 Wisconsin Democrats at the Jefferson- Jackson Day dinner here to "discard the straight-jackets of panie and hysteria and fight the evil which broods over our land." McCarthy recently charged Lehman with abuse of his sen¬ atorial mailing privilege.

Reed WASHINGTON — President Eisenhower tried to persuade Rep. Daniel A, Reed (R-N.Y.) to drop his opposition to extension of the excess profits tax today but ap¬ parently got nowhere. The two met for 45 minutes at the White House. Neither had anything to say about the dlscus- eion. An Informed .>iource said they reached no agreement. How¬ ever, they, will confer again at some later time. Reed is chairman of the tax- writing House ways and means committee. He has bottled up a bill to extend the excess profits tax on corporations from Its ex¬ piration date, June 30, until Dec. 31. After his meeting with Mr, Els¬ enhower, the gruff New Yorker would say only: "We had a very friendiV visit; I'm not discussing it at all." Mr. Eisenhower Invited Reed to the White House in a personal effort to sway him from his op¬ position to extension. Its expira¬ tion will mean a heavy loss of revenue—about J800,000,()00 in the six-month period—just when the administration is trying to get the budget into some semWance of balance. Reed, angry becauae his bill to cut personal Income taxes next month In.ttead of Jan. 1 has been blocked, has refused to let his committee act on the extension request. Martin Also Fails House Speaker Joseph W. Mar¬ tin jr. aKso made another effort to persuade Reed Friday to change Reed stood his ground. DEMOCRATS WARN GOP ;. ON FARM POLICIES WTiat irks the Republican lead ers Is their confidence that the House would approve the exten¬ sion if it were reported out of committee and brought to a floor vote. There are waye to get around Reed. Martin could offer a reso¬ lution to discharge the committee from further consideration of the bill. This parliamentary device is rarely used, however. But If Reed persists In hia stand, the drastic move may be necessary. FOREI ROKs Use Tank, Truck Task Force Clark Gets Orders Firm Measures if Rhee Tries Truce-Cracking WASHINGTON.--Gen. Mark W. CTark has been told to take firm measures should President Syngman Rhee try any more truce- upsetting action. It was disclosed on Saturday. A high-ranking administration official told the United Press that "we are trying every possible means ot persuasion we know to get Rhee back In line during the current tense situation." "We feel it was encouraging that the Communists did not break off negotiations completely over the prisoner release episode," he said. We are making every effort to get the prisoners back." Notwithstanding Rhee's opposi¬ tion to present truce terms. Presi¬ dent Eisenhower is determined to go through with an armistice- signing and to make sure its terms ars respected by the South Korean president and his forces. Hoped For This Week Hope still was voiced that a truce ending the war, which will be three years old next Thursday, could be signed this week. Officials conceded that the anti- <!k>mmuni.st prisoners released on Rhee's orders could not all be rounded up. But they said the United States will show its "good By RUTHERFORD POATS TOKYO, Sunday —A South Korean army task force tanks and trucka released anti Communist prisoners of war at; ^ key part of the administra ^*!!uf^"5;^o"'!?i.?''xT°".^*'*,'?i!.-l*?-^"°n's strategy to calm Rhee cen ters on the mission to Korea of faith" by attempting to corral as imany as possible and Clark, ^'^'f*!

He is making Mr. Eisenhower's determination the trip as the personal repre¬ sentative of the President and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Rhee May Yet Accede Despite Rhee's attitude, there were hopes he eould be persuaded against prolonging the war or even broadening it and that he will accede to Allied demands that he respect armistice terms. The final United States decision has not-been reached, informants said, on what action to take if Rhee ignores an armistice and orders his troops to fight on. One report said Clark had been authorized to impose martial law in dealing with the crisis created by Rhee. But an administration official said this was not so.

South Koreans Sntash General Says Russia Stockpiles A-Bomb, I Giving Allies Jets WASHINKlTaN—Grcn. Omar N. Bradley has informed senators that Russia is steadily increasing its atomic bomb stockpile and is now shipping jet aircraft to So¬ viet satellite states.

The Senate will debate the big global aid bill in two weeks. The House on Friday approved its own $4,998,000,000 version by a 280 to 108 vote.

ROKs Holding On Late Saturday night the Amer¬ ican-trained South Koreans were dug in all along the line of the bulge and wi:re resisting almost constant CJommunist pres.sure. Early Saturday the South Ko¬ reans threw back 200 to 300 Chi¬ nese Reds who battled their way up the slopes of Christmas Hill outpost on the eatsern end of the wedge in Allied lines. In the. early morning fighting at least 156 Chinese were killed in the fighting around the Christ* mas Hill position. At the same time the South Ko¬ reans smashed a red attack on "M-1" Hill, adjacent to Christmaa Hill. Creet Changes. Hands The Communists actually won the crest of the bitterly contested M-1 Hill position at one point in the fighting. However, the South Koreans backed up, re-grouped and jumped off in a counter-at¬ tack which drove the Reds back and regained the hill. The South Koreans were dug la on one slope of the M-1 Hill po¬ sition with their Red enemies dug in on the opposite slope. At the other end of the two- mile deep bulge near Sniper Ridge and Capitol Hill, the South Ko¬ reans turned back four Chinese attacks — numbering about 200 men each—against four positions.

Dents'Out of Fenders Month: One Way to Keep Down Accidents DETROIT — This is national D,0,O.F. Month. The idea of "Dents Out Of Fenders" Month, of course is to drum up business for garage body repair shops. But it also has a public safety aspect. Automobile dealers reeason that if car owners get mementoes of minor accidents removed and shine up their buggies theyll l>e more careful about how they drive. Treatment Oianges Remember when your car was new? How carefully you drove, never too close to other cars wait¬ ing for a light to change, to avoid any possible chance of a side¬ swipe, all but stopfied, looked and listened at every intersection and took it easy on bad roads to pre¬ vent stone nicks or too much strain on the springs? Then came the tragedp of the first dent. The next few bumps came easier and all the time you drove more and more relaxed and —compared to ixiur "new" car days—probably more recklessly. So the dealers may have a good idea at that. There probably would be a lot few accidents if everyone put his car in tip-top shape and tried to keep it that way. However, the dealers promoting this national "bumping" cam¬ paign could perhaps be a little more accurate with their slo¬ gan. There ts hardly a ear on the road today—exce^ those of earty vintage—with wliat H strictly a fender. Take off what passes for a front fender today and you've almost quartered tlie car. Repairs Costly "That's one reason why people don't hurry to get their cars re¬ paired. It costs too much to get the whole front or left quarter of a car replaced if the fender is be¬ yond "bumping out." But don't blame the car makers ifor the high cost of fenders. The pubVie wanted streamlining and a raf.'.e-free car. Streamlining re¬ quires large sirctions of seamless metal, Th* same goes to cut down rattles. But up go repair costs
