NORTHEAST KOREA-(AP)-Chi-
nese Communists this morning cut
off two Marine battalions north
of Sudong after penetrating posi-
tions of the attacking Seventh
Regiment.
An official source said a Chi-
nese roadblock was set up behind
the two battalions.
The Marines, attacking north
from Sudong, 20 miles south of'
the bitterly defended Changjin
reservoir, encountered strong op-
position, a 10th Corps officer said.
The forward Marine elements
were being supplied by airdrops.,
In northwest Korea, meanwhile,
the Red counter-drive ground to
a halt.
Escape of at least half of a trap-
ped U.S. regiment was disclosed
this morning.
* * *
A U.S. EIGHTH ARMY spokes-
man said action was limited last
night, in contrast with recent days
which saw heavy Red attacks force
Allied withdrawals of up to 50
Smiles. '
The spokesman said at least half
of the U.S. First Cavalry's Eighth
Regiment, trapped north of Kunu
and west of Unsan, had escaped.
Others were trying to filter
through and rejoin friendly forces.
EIGHTY MILES southwest of
Sudong, Korean Reds isolated a
Marine battalion at Majon, 16
miles west of Wonsan. The Ma-
rines had gone there to block the
northern escape route of bY-passed
North Korean Reds, but were1
themselves cut off.
At the same time, Marine fliers
bombed a force of 2,000 by-passed
Reds only five miles from Won-
san, big east coast port and site
of tie largest Allied airfield in
North Korea. Tanks were called up
to protect the airfield.
AP Correspondent Stan Swinton
said the First Marine Division was
strung out over 100 miles from
Sudong southward to Kojo, 30
miles south of Wonsan, in what
many Marine officers called an
almost impossible tactical situa-
tion.
But an intelligence spokesman
at General MacArthur's Tokyo
headquarters said the United Na-
tions still held the initiative in
North Korea generally, despite the
withdrawals.

Backs Burke
For Legislature
A committee composed of 10
University faculty members sent
out 3,000 letters to their colleagues
yesterday in behalf of the candi-
dacy of George J. Burke, Jr. for
state legislator in the 1st Wash-
tenaw District.
The letters made a non-partisan
appeal for the support of Burke, a
Democrat, who, it was said, stands
for "higher education."
The Republican incumbent,'
Lewis Christman, who is opposing
Burke in the Nov. 7 elections, was
accused of voting for the recent
cut in state appropriations to the
University.
Members of the faculty com-
mittee include: Prof. Robert An-
gell, chairman of the Sociology De-
nartment. Prof Trvina A Teonard,

The Red invaders have reached

Tibetans in Kalimpong were re-

a disaster. Lhas had posted some

Proposal Would
UnifyGermany
WASHINGT6N - (P) - Russia
last night proposed a meeting of
the foreign ministers of the Unit-
ed States, Britain and France on
its -Prague Proposals for creation
of an All-German Constitutional
Council to unify Germany under
one government.
Such a proppsal was handed
U.S. Ambassador Alan G. Kirk in
Moscow last night, the State De-
partment said.
THE CREATION of an All-Ger-
man Constitutional Council to uni-
fy Germany under one govern-
ment was first proposed in Prague
on Oct. 21 by Russia and seven
satellite countries.
Four proposals were made by
the Soviet Bloc:
1. A proclamation by the So-
viet Union, Britain, France and
the United States "That they will
not allow the remilitarization of
Germany."
2. "The removal of all hindran-
'ces in the road to the developnenV
of a peaceful German economy
and the inadmissibility of the re-
habilitation of the German war
potential."
* s -
3. "THE UNDELAYED conclu-
sion of a peace treaty with Ger-
many," the creation of a unified
German State, and the withdraw-
al of all occupation forces a year
after the signing of the treaty.
4. "The creation of an All-
German Constitutional Council on
the basis of balanced representa-
tion of Western and Eastern Ger-
many, which should prepare for
the establishment of an interim
democratic, peace-loving, all-Ger-
man Sovereign Government."
However, there was little indi-
cation last night that Russia's
suggestion sfor a foreign ministers
conference on the Prague Plan
would be accepted.

Wounded n u Battle
WASHINGTON - (P) - UnderI
heavy guard, President Truman
yesterday walked from the White
House to Emergency Hospital to
visit the two policemen wounded
in Wednesday's furious gun battle
in defending him from assassina-
tion.
Five Secret Service men closely
flanked the President as he made
the two-block trip to and from the
hospital. Other Secret Service
agents rode slowly along in an
escort car.
MR. TRUMAN chatted for about
five minutes with the two wounded
men-Pvts. Joseph A. Downs and
Donald T. Birdzell-and later he
told newsmen:
"They are getting along fine."
Presidential Secretary Charles
G. Ross said Mr. Truman expressed
"his deep gratitude" to the men.
Hospital physicians described the
condition of both guards as "very
satisfactory."

MEANWHILE, the body of
Griselio Torresola, one of the two
Puerto Rican gunmen involved in
the assassination attempt, lay un-

Truman Will
Tonight
By The Associated Press
President Truman will speak to
the nation tonight for the first
time since the attempt on his life.l
The spectacular Blair House
shooting is figured to swell the
vast audience the Democrats have
sought to line up to hear his frank-
ly political broadcast from St.
Louisr at 10 p.m. Ann Arbor time.
He will address a Democratic Party
rally in Kiel Auditorium.
The GOP has engaged only one
network, Mutual, for Stassen while
the Democrats have'dug deep into
their treasury and bought time for
the President on 1,200 radio and
72 television stations, including all
major networks.
man injury may very well reroute
the Pasadena express for either
club.
Eliot has engineered his
charges through four wins, one
of them over highly-touted
Washington, but the lone de-
feat came against Wisconsin's
Badgers-unfortunately a Big
Ten foe. Michigan stands at an
even .500 percentage, but the
losses were meted out by Army
and Michigan State, both high-
ly-ranked clubs.
In the Conference, the Wolver-
ines played their best game in de-
cisively trimming Wisconsin, but
faded to a miserable 7-7 tie against
Minnesota's stumbling Gophers
last week.
THE SPECTRE of Ohio State'
looms large over the Conference
championship picture, but since
the Buckeyes saw California last
year, the New Year's berth is still
open. And Michigan and Illinois
took the trip long enough ago to
qualify, if they can get their Con-
ference-championship passport in
order.
The day's biggest question-
mark centers around one John
Karras, guiding star of a
ground-eating Illinois backfield
and in his junior year heralded
as another "Red" Grange.
Karras' accomplishments have
been only slightly short of fan-
tastic. As a sophomore, the Argo
express roared to a 732-yard Big
Ten rushing record, and he is
well on his way to snapping that
mark with 227 yards in 1950's first
two Conference, games.
MICHIGAN supporters pulled
their hearts out of their mouths
after the Illini speedster was
hauled down from behind in two
1949 runs against the Maize and
Blue. Michigan won, 13-0, through
no fault of Mr. Karras.

As, Football
Duel Nears
By BOB VAUGHN
A hush of expectancy crept
over Ann Arbor this morning as
97,000 fans headed for town to
witness the football duel which
may well determine who is to smell
the roses of sunny Pasadena.
The arrival of real fall weather
yesterday with its leaden sky and
wet snow will keep the temperature
down, below the sixties today as
gloves and gay mufflers make
their first stadium appearance
of the year.
At half-time the Michigan
Marching Band will share the
field with the band of the Illini.
* * *.
THE WOLVERINE BAND will
depict several scenes reminiscent
of the '20s to the tunes of "Deane,"
"In Our Merry Oldsmobile," "Al-
exander's Ragtime Band," "It's A
Grand Old Flag" and a John Phil-
lips Sousa march.
During the game a flash-card
section' of 1,620 students will
manipulate shiny, blue and yel-
low cards purchased by the Wol-
verine Club after two years of
planning and saving.
All students sitting in the flash-
card section have been asked by
the Wolverine Club to be sure to
get a, special set' of instructions
which will be handed out with
the cards.
MEANWHILE this morning,
special trains bearing hopeful Illi-
ni rooters cars conspicuously
branded "Illinois" were on their
way to the game.
Men in blue, ingluding mem-
bers of the state police force,
faced their usual job of keeping
about 30,000 cars from making
left-hand turns from right-hand
lanes and crinkling shiney fen-
ders.
Cider sales have dropped off and
more potent beverages seem to be

will be open from 9 a.m. to noon
