U.S. Marines after knocking out

Communists unleashed their spring

age, hand-to-hand combat by win-

struck behind a whooshing rocket
barrage and screaming shells from
tanks rumbling far out in front of
the Allied lines.
VEGAS was one of two outposts
near Bunker Hill where Marines
fought to the last man before
yielding to human sea waves of
Chinese attacking at 10 points
Thursday.
The Reds had swung their
punch to the Marine sector after
driving U.S. 7th Division in-
fantrymen off Old Baldy, 25
miles to the northeast, on
Wednesday.
While yesterday's fight for Vegas
Outpost was at its height, the em-
boldened Reds apparently tried to

Bohlen OK'd
As Russian
Ambassador
Ike's Choice Gets
Confidence Vote
WASHINGTON-(/P)-The Sen-
ate voted resounding approval late
yesterday for President Eisenhow-
er's choice of Charles E. (Chip)
Bohlen to be ambassador to Rus-
sia.
Amounting to a vote of confi-
dence in the President, the tally
came exactly one month after he
submitted the nomination.
* * *
ON A ROLL call, 74 senators
voted to confirm the nomination
and 13 voted against it.
Both Michigan Senators-Fer-
guson and Potter, Republicans
-voted for Bohlen. They said
in advance that they would vote
for him, though reluctantly.
Bohlen, 48-year-old career dip-
limat and Russian-language ex-
pert, was under bitter attack dur-
ing the month-long interval from
Bridges, McCarthy, MCarran and
others.
* * *w
QUESTIONS were raised about
him on loyalty and security
grounds. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles said an FBI investi-
gation had turned up nothing to
cast doubt on his loyalty.
Taft, of Ohio, the Republican
leader, and Sparkman, of Ala-
bama, 1952 Democratic vice pres-
idential nominee, upheld Dulles'
findings in a separate inspection
of the FBI's report.
Bohlen's critics also contended
he had been too closely identi-
fied with foreign policies of Dem-
ocratic President Harry Truman
and Dean Acheson, secretary of
state in the Truman Administra-
tion.
They also criticized his presence
at Yalta when the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt made con-
cessions to Russia in the Far East
and secured a Russian agreement
to enter the war against Japan.
Bohlen has said he was there
only as an interpreter.
In the end, President Eisenhower
made the appointment a matte
of presidential prestige by declar-
ing that Bohlen was his own per-
sonal choice and the best quali-
fied man for the post.
Twelve Dead
In NY Central
Train Wreck
CONNEAUT, O.-(/P)-Two pas-
senger trains piledaatop a wrecked
( New ork Central freight train
last night, and police said 12 per-
sons were killed and 20 injured
four miles east of Conneaut.
SThe bodies of the dead were left
at thebscene while personnel of
funeral homes in the area worked
at the chore of getting the score
of injured to hospitals.
FIRST fragmentary reports said
many other persons were injured.
Hospitals in three communities
were alerted to receive accident
victims.
In New York the railroad said
the trains involved were two
passenger trains; No. 5, a Buf-
falo, N. Y. to Chicago express,
and No. 12, the Southwestern
Limited from St. Louis to New
York, and a freight.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer said
the wreck occurred this way: a
west-bound freight train struck an
automobile or truck at a grade
crossing. The freight train was
derailed.
No. 5, a fast westbound pas-
senger train running on a par-
allel track, ran into the freight's
wreckage, which was spread over
four tracks.
Then came the Southwestern
Limited, eastbound, which plowed
into the wreckage of No. 5.
Since all three trains were on
different tracks, automatic signals
didn't stop them.

Party Probe
CalledOf f
By MIKE WOLFF
Local commentators agreed yes-
terday the proposed investigation
of 1950 Democratic district con-
ventions in Detroit lay outside the
jurisdiction of the House Govern-
ment Operations Committee.
Committee chairman Rep. Clare
Hoffman (R-Mich) called off his-
probe yesterday reportedly because
it did not meet with the approval
of House leaders. Hoffman said
both the Democratic and Republi-
can leadership believed his com-
mittee lacked the jurisdiction to
investigate charges of convention
violence.
PROF. JOHN P. Dawson of the
law school said it was "quite clear"
the power of Congress to investi-
gate is practically unlimited.
"But the question is whether
it is proper and consistent with
our form of government for
Congress to investigate the
methods of choosing delegates to
county and district conventions
within a state," Prof. Dawson
added.

Roberts resigned under fire yester-
day as Republican National Chair-
man, saying he was the victim of
a "carefully contrived" political
plot in Kansas.
President Eisenhower called the
resignation a "wise decision."
* * *
ROBERTS quit his $32,500 a
year post shortly after a Kansas
legislative investigating commit-
tee held that he violated the spirit'
of the state's lobbying law.
Before announcing his resig-
nation, Roberts conferred at the
White House with Eisenhower
and left with him a copy of his
letter of resignation to the GOP
National Committee.
Roberts wrote the President that
he honestly believes "that I never
in all my life committed a dis-
honorable act, and that my part in
the transaction at issue was and
is to me right and proper for the
best interests of all who were con-
cerned."

ing the opinion that House leaders
considered the matter "too hot to

McCormack quickly denied
this. "It is definitely a case of
being outside the jurisdiction of
the committee," he said.
Hoffman's probe, originally set
for early April, was specifically
aimed at examining cham~es by
Rep. Charles G. Oakman (R-Mich)
that "CIO goon squads usurped
control of the conventions."
The proposed investigation was
condemned Tuesday by state Dem-
ocratic leaders including party
chairman Neil Staebler who at-
acked as. "pure fiction" GOP
charges of violence during the 1950
district conventions in Wayne
County.
