Umstead, former United States representative and senator, was in the race for governor of North Carolina today. The 56-year-old Durham attorn ey is the first major candidate in the 1852 Democratic primary race, but his declaration was no surprise. He had been considered a probable candidate for the last fouT years. PROGRESS PLATFORM Umstead's brief statement indi cated that he would campaign on a platform Os "continued progress.” "I feel that It is appropriate to say that I have great pride in the past half-century of advancement New Assault' Is Unleashed Against Reds BTH ARMY HQ, Korea (W United Nations troops, tanks, ar tillery and planes unleashed a new assault on Korea's central front to day and Gen. James A. Van Fleet dared the Reds to attack and “give us the chance to slaughter them." At the front with his men, tbs tough U. N. ground forces comman der predicted that the Communists “will want peace before winter be fore we’re through with them." HACK OUT GAINS Allied troops hacked out gains along a 75-mile sector of the flam lr% battle front from the -"iron tri angle" in the canter of the Sea of Jkpan tm the east as American in fantrymen plunged into the second limited offensive. Van Fleet said he hoped the Reds would open an offensive of their own because: "A Communist offensive would give us the chance to slaughter them. That way we could get them in wholesale lots and not have to kick them pelcemeal out of the hills the way we are doing now.” REDS HAVE POTENTIAL The Reds have the potential for a powerful offensive or a limited objective drive aimed at shoving the U. N. back below the 38th par allel. Van Fleet said. But he added, "most indications point- to a defensive attitude on their part.” “They're hurting," he said. “They are in bad shape and we are hurt ing them more and more. They will want peace before winter before we are through with them.” The new central front drive won two strategic hills north and north east of the old iron triangle area above Kumhwwa. But strongly-en trenched Reds were fighting back viciously, screaming, a challenge of “Wolfhounds yah" at the charging Americans-a reference to the fam ous 37th Wolfhound Regiment. MARINES PREBS DRIVE On the eastern front, the Ist Ma rine Division, which opened an at tack above the Punchbowl area Tuesday morning and was well 0? its way to its objectives that night, (till pressed their limited drive Wednesday. Wednesday's big push was above Kumhwa where massed artillery and mortars, joined by warplanes, blasted a path for American sold iers as they stormed the peaks of two hills.

He taught for a brief period in Kinston and for four years was solicitor for the Dur ham County recorder’s court. He was solicitor of the 10th Dis trict from 1827 to 1833 and was elec ted to Congress in 1832. He served three terms before returning to law practice in Durham. German Peace Pact Under Negotiation WASHINGTON —(lit— The Big ' Three Foreign Ministers opened formal negotiations today on a “peace contract” with Western Germany while Russia sought in directly to upset the proceedings. Also on the conference’s agenda were proposals to revise the Italian Peace Treaty to permit a rapid buildup of Italy's skelton Army, Navy, and Air Force.

It appeared that the United Na- I tions and Communists have set up j conditions which makes agreement I possible on the matter of the inci -1 dents which broke up the ar jndstice meetings. But the final 'Word was still with the Reds. I RECEIVES NOTE A smiling Communist officer re ceived this morning the U. N. note admitting that an American B-26 strafed Kaesong Sept. 10-as charg ed by the Reds. The U. N. express ed regret for the pilot’s mistake. The Communist officer' at (the Pan Mun Jom outpost below Kae song exchanged no words with the U. N. team presenting the note but still smiled as he handed over a message from the Communist com mand - rejecting the proposal to shift the talks from Kaesong. The note from North Korean Premier Gen. .Peng Teh Huai to U. N. Commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway was drafted before the U. N. note on the strafing. Thus, it was not indicative of the Commu nist,.frame, of mine} following the Allied, admission. ACTION DEMANDED The long Communist message again demanded “responsible” U. N.~ action in regard to the inci dents. Deep in its text it asked ‘why is it that your side has not dared to demand an enquiry into the truth of ah these incidents.,” It was believed here that Ridgway could accept the “enquiry” ques tion as a definite proposal and ac-v, cept * a joint study of the whole neutrality question and that such a step might be enough to satisfy the Reds and smooth out the entire dispute.
