SEOUL, Korea (AP) American Marines twice Friday crushed Chinese Communist attacks on "Bunker hill" in the fifth and sixth of a series of western front battles which the corps said has cost the Reds 3,014 in dead and wounded since Saturday. United Nations fighter bombers strafed and plastered Red positions with bombs, rockets, and gasoline as the Leathernecks forced back 200 Chinese who tried to advance on the battle-scarred hill Friday afternoon.

Before dawn Friday, Marines repulsed a 400-man force which launched a sneak attack on the hill from two directions. The Leathernecks seized "Bunker hill" early Tuesday, the fourth day of fighting in the area. The Air Force said its pilots Friday destroyed 76 troop and supply buildings, six supply dumps, 11 supply stacks, 17 gun positions, 28 bunkers, four personnel shelters, and seven field pieces. Dodge 'Romance' Comes to an End DETROIT (AP) The reported romance between automobile heir Horace E. Dodge and showgirl Gregg Sherwood ended abruptly Thursday after Dodge had police pick up the movie and television actress as she departed to visit her parents in Beloit, Wis.

Miss Sherwood, who has been rumored engaged to the 50-year-old Dodge ever since he staged a fabulous party for her in Cannes, France, said she was "all through" with the automobile heir. The 25-year-old actress admitted to police that she was keeping a $10,000 "friendship ring" Dodge gave her. Dodge called police from his home Thursday night saying that a woman riding a cab to the bus station had stolen his jewels. Police traced the cab and picked up Miss Sherwood. Later Dodge said no jewels were gone but that Miss Sherwood had taken a box of candy, two bottles of perfume, and five table cigarette lighters.

The attractive showgirl produced the missing items from her luggage, saying that all were gifts. "This is the end of a beautiful romance." Police released her but returned the candy and perfume to Dodge. BRIEFING 'SNAFU' LIFTS IKE CAMP Bradley Notification Slip-Up Puts Democrats on the Defensive, GOP Feels. DENVER (UP) Dwight D. Eisenhower's campaign advisers chuckled Friday over the confusion in Washington about the top-secret reports on world affairs that the GOP presidential nominee was supposed to be told about but wasn't.

Associates of Eisenhower figured that, at least for the moment, they had the Democrats on the defensive. The big question was how to keep them there. IKE APPEARANCES SET Eisenhower himself may take advantage of the situation next week when he makes a couple of public appearances. He will go to Boise, Idaho, Wednesday for a conference of Western Republican governors, and to Kansas City, the following day for a meeting of Republican candidates for office. These occasions will provide the Republican presidential candidate with a sounding board to keep after the Democrats if he desires to try to keep on the offensive.

GOT EM ON RUN The feeling of "we've got 'em on the run, boys" started early Thursday when it was announced that Eisenhower had declined an LABOR LEADERS CALL ON ADLAI Spokesmen of Farm Group Arrive for Talks, Too CIO Endorses Ticket. SPRINGFIELD, 111. (UP) Spokesmen for farm and labor organizations arrived Friday for conferences with Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, who has not yet spelled out his views on farm and labor legislation.

The AFL, the CIO and the American Farm Bureau federation all were represented on the Democratic presidential nominee's calling list as he turned back to a heavy round of political talks. He spent most of Thursday in "Governor's day" ceremonies for the state fair. POLITICIANS OS AGENDA Others Stevenson expected to see today were Sen. Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico, veteran party strategist and a member of the governor's campaign committee, and John Anson Ford, California Democratic National Committeeman who supported Sen.

Estes Kefauver for the presidential nomination. The CIO was represented by Arthur Goldberg, its general counsel and spokesman on labor legislation. While Stevenson has accepted the Democratic platform plank calling for repeal of the Taft- 'PEACE GESTURE' BY RED DOUBTED Premier's 'Willingness' To End War in Draw Seen As Nothing New. TOKYO (INS) Communist Premier Kim II Sung said Friday North Korea is willing to end the Korean war in a draw but United Nations sources belittled this statement as offering nothing new toward an armistice. U.

N. observers in Tokyo said Kim's utterance was "if anything, tougher than ever." They pointed to the Red premier's demand for the return of all Allied-held prisoners as going even farther than did the Communist truce negotiators at Pan-munjom. BORADCASTS CITED They called attention also to broadcast exchanges of messages between Kim on ''the one hand and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin and Red China's President Mao Tse-Tung on the other. These communications bristled with bellicose pledges of victory over the U. N.

forces in Korea and with the now-familiar Communist attacks on such things as "American imperialism." The messages were occasioned as was Kim's hourlong address aired over radio Pyongyang by the seventh anniversary of Korea's liberation from 40 years of Japanese rule at the close of World war II. RHEE WANTS VICTORY At Seoul, meanwhile, South Korea's President Syngman Rhee called for continued struggle to "end the long march of Communist imperialism." Reiterating his stand against a cease-fire that would leave Korea divided, Rhee again demanded reunification of the country under the banner of his republic. At the inauguration of his second four-year term, the 77-year-old president declared "we cannot rest in peace until we have res- KOREA VETERAN TO BE DEPORTED Faces Iron Curtain Return Because He Overstayed Visa Family in U. S. RIDGEWAY, S.

(INS) A 27-year-old Korean war veteran is homeward bound but must face the disillusionment of being deported to an Iron Curtain country and the Communist way of life he has been fighting. For most war veterans, a stateside voyage means a happy homecoming and a joyous family reunion, but for Ernest Ebner of Ridgeway, S. it means returning behind the Iron Curtain from whence he came. The State department has ordered Ebner to leave the country within 30 days from the date of his discharge, expected around Sept. 19, or else be deported.

OVERSTAYED VISA Ebner entered the U. S. from Czechoslovakia in 1948 on a three-month visa to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ebner of Chicago.

Later Ebner applied for citizenship, but the U. S. immigration service ruled he had overstayed his visa and would have to leave the country and reapply for entry. Besides facing deportation, the signal corps veteran also faces the prospect of leaving behind his wife, Thelma, and a six-weeks old daughter, Marie Ruth. WIFE WOULD FOLLOW HIM In her Ridgeway home Thursday night, Mrs.

Ebner sobbed: "I will. go with him to the end of the world anywhere if they would only let me."

The D.A.V.. holding its 31st annual national convention, asked in its unanimously adopted resolution that Congress ban Communist propaganda from the mails. The convention also called for immediate congressional action to improve housing conditions for armed forces personnel on military bases and the continuance of rent controls in all areas. 2,648 Polio Cases WASHINGTON (AP) All states except Indiana in the U.

aid during the past three years, has greatly lessened the threat of a Soviet attack on Western Europe. The department conceded, however, that the Western nations cannot woo Marshal Tito from communism nor do they have any intention of doing so. An analysis of Yugoslavia's pivotal position in the East-West cold war, prepared by the department, stated "Tito knows there is a limit beyond which he cannot go and receive our support; but. we also know that there is a limit which Tito will not, as a Communist, cross. We do not intend to convert him." The document was released as officials focused their attention on reliable reports that Tito is seeking an informal military alliance with Greece.

If the agreement materializes, it will be the first time the Communist chief has actually offered to collaborate with a Western nation on military planning. Reports of the Greek-Yugoslavia alliance also emphasize the finality of Tito's break with the Kremlin five years ago. As a member of the cominform Yugoslavia harbored Communist guerrillas which kept the Greek war raging for more than a year after the end of World war II. Married 15 Times LOS ANGELES (INS) District Attorney S. Ernest Roll was investigating Friday to learn whether it is back to prison for bigamy for 15-times-married Francis H.

Van Wie, the- "ding dong daddy of the Line." The 66-year-old Carbarn Casanova, accompanied by an attorney, appeared at Roll's office Thursday afternoon and meekly agreed to co-operate in the investigation. The one time trolley conductor faced the possibility of being sent back to San Quentin, where he was once under a 30-year sentence for being married several more times than he was divorced. Playboy Heir Held NEW YORK (INS) The play boy heir to the Jelke margarine fortune was arrested early Friday in connection with a $300-a-night call girl racket. Assistant district Attorney Anthony Liebler said the social regis-terite, Minot F. (Mickey) Jelke, 22, will be booked on charges of compulsory prostitution, living off the proceeds of prostitution, conspiracy and carrying concealed weapons.

Also seized in the 22-year-old Jelke's east side apartment by vice agents was Sylvia Eder, a curvaceous 24-year-old blonde, and several hundred photographs of nudes. per cent of the present rate Spokesmen for the automotive industry contended the government has overestimated the steel shortage. At a private session with NPA officials Thursday they argued that a rapid improvement in the steel supply is indicated now that the strike is settled, and that the military will be unable to use all the metal now earmarked for it. WOULD LOSE 300,000 If automobile production falls off 27 per cent on the last quarter of 1952, it would mean an output loss of more than 300,000 cars. It is estimated that the steel strike cost the industry about 400,000 cars in the current quarter.

The automobile makers pressed for a fourth-quarter steel allotment representing 90 per cent of the present production ceiling. That would provide for 1,150,000 cars. They also asked for enough steel to make 1.5 million cars a quarter after Jan. 1. 'DEFENSE NOT HURT' Military production, they said, has not been hurt by the steel strike except in the fields of shell casings and trucks.

NPA now is studying a proposed ceiling of 1,250,000 cars in the first quarter of 1953. This would permit production at a rate of 5 million cars annually substantially above the recent rate but well short of the 1930 record output of 6,600,000 cars. A proposal to reapportion among the motor makers the steel, copper and aluminum allotted to the industry did not come up at Thursday's session. The industry was told the question is "still under review." The proposed revision would give a larger percentage of the industry's metal to General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Studebaker. Smaller percentages than in the past would go to the small independents, which from time to time have failed to use all the metal allotted them.

Costly Steel Strike Nears Official End PITTSBURGH (AP) The official end of the costly 1952 steel strike appeared near today with U. S. Steel corporation, the only member of the nation's "Big Six," still negotiating a new contract. Republic Steel Corp. and Pittsburgh Steel signed new contracts Thursday with the CIO Steelworkers and Jones and Laugh-lin said it had agreed on terms and will sign shortly probably tomorrow.

The contract signings were an aftermath of the longest steel strike. It started June 2 and ended July 25. The strike ended after President Truman called union and industry officials to Washington where a so-called interim agreement was reached. This agreement called for a package wage boost totaling a little better than 21 cents an hour for men making slightly less than two dollars an hour. Most of the nation's 650,000 men who had been striking began returning to work almost immediately.

However, the union and companies continued negotiations to work out minor issues, including working conditions and the spelling out of management and union rights. Inland Steel Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Bethlehem Steel Corp. other members of the "Big Six" had already signed with the union. Parole Mercy' Killer ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) Harold A.

Kennon Concedes GOP May Carry State; Demos Desire To Cross Over. NEW ORLEANS (AP) Two state Democratic leaders predict a mass migration across Louisiana party lines to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, the Republican presidential nominee. Gov. Robert Kennon conceded that the Republicans might carry this traditionally Democratic state in the Nov.

4 general election. Kennon is a strong states rights Democrat and has not expressed his choice of candidates. N. B. Carstarphen of Shreveport, chairman of the Democrat state central committee, said Thursday that telegrams and telephone calls he has received show a "great" percentage of the Democrats want to vote for Eisenhower." 2,000 REPUBLICANS Louisiana has more than a million Democrats and 2,000 registered Republicans.

Gov. Thomas Dewey of New York polled 72,000 votes as the GOP nominee in 1948, wher Louisiana broke with President Truman and the States Rights ticket carried the state. "The Republicans are in a stronger position in Louisiana than they have been for years," Kennon said. The state central committee will meet Wednesday to decide whether to list the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket under the rooster Louisiana's traditional Democratic symbol. The newspaper New Orleans States reported Thursday "there has been wide talk that the central committee would attempt to have Democratic electors listed alphabetically on the ballot without party symbols." This would give voters a chance to support Eisenhower without formally voting Republican.

A belt of 100 degree heat stretched almost from Mexico to Canada through parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and North and South Dakota. A fresh surge of cool Canadian air spread into the Northern Rockies and northwest sections of the Midwest Friday, but forecasters said it probably would not move very deep into the South.

The cooler air was expected to reach the Chicago area by late Friday or early Saturday and then work south and eastward to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia. Midday temperatures Thursday included: Ft. Worth, 105 the 13th consecutive day of 100-degree or more heat; Tulsa, 100; Chadron, 100; and Aberdeen, 104.

GET POW CAMP DATA PANMUNJOM, Korea, (UP) The Communists advised the United Nations Friday they have established one new prisoner of war camp, expanded two more and moved two others to different locations. The information was contained in a letterfrom North Korean Gen.

Nam II, chief Communist truce delegate, to Maj. Gen. William K. Harrison, senior Allied delegate. The letter was handed over at a brief meeting between liaison officers.

The high-level truce negotiations are recessed until Aug. 19 when the delegates again will take up the problem of exchanging prisoners of war. Nam said the Communists established a new prisoner of war camp at Yul. Camps 11 and 13 have been expanded, he said, while No. 12 has been moved from Sinchang to Jaedong and No.

14 from Kip-song to Anju. Communist liaison officers also handed over maps showing the location of the new and transplanted camps. 37 Agents Enforce Gaming Tax Law INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A special racket squad of 37 federal agents is operating in Indiana to enforce the new federal gambling tax law. The new law requires gamblers to buy a $50 stamp and to pay a 10 per cent tax on their gross. Federal officials said Thursday night the law provides a means for checking gamblers' incomes for previous years and prosecuting any tax evasion thus uncovered.

They said tax liens are being filed against many gamblers on this basis. Wilbur O. Plummer, assistant collector of internal revenue, said the law "is flushing the gamblers like a covey of quail for federal and county prosecutors to shoot at." "It is an excellent law and it puts the gamblers right on the spot," Plummer added. "If a gambler fails to pay his levy or buy his stamps, he is subject to federal prosecution. "If he complies with the federal law he immediately exposes himself to prosecution by the local authorities.

It has brought them out into the open." Plummer said income tax collections from gamblers have increased considerably since the gambling tax law was passed.

Stevenson, Democratic nominee for president, sat in on a cabinet meeting Tuesday, with high ranking military leaders present. Truman later invited Dwight D. Eisen-to a similar meeting, but Eisenhower declined.

"The Truman-Stevenson axis has been caught red handed in a cynical attempt to exploit the prestige of the military high command for partisan political advantage," Halleck said in a statement. "Public condemnation of this shoddy trick has been quick and positive. Everyone recognizes this after-thought gesture toward Gen. Eisenhower for what it really is a frantic effort by the White House to get off the hook."

GOP Floor Leader Styles Bridges (N.H.) told newsmen: "With American boys shedding blood in foreign lands certainly we've got a right to discuss it." Bridges asserted that Eisenhower escaped a "trap" by turning down President Truman's offer to brief him personally on military and foreign matters.

The victim, 33-year-old Marcel Loubens. died Thursday night as a death defying rescue team was about to try hoisting him by cable from a ledge where he had lain in a coma nearly 36 hours.
