Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Repub lican presidential candidate, and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, a major supporter, were keeping the Korean War in the forefront. Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Eisen hower's Democratic opponent, and Pres. Truman, Stevenson's lead ing backer, were talking of pros perity for the Little Man, and predicting a Democratic victory six days hence. ABOARD STEVENSON SPEC IAL Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson opened his bid yesterday for Pennsylvania's important bloc of 32 electoral votes by labeling the Republicans obstructionists in the fight for social gains. Stevenson stood bare-handed in a raw wind that whipped snow flakes around him as he told thousands at Scranton that "The Democrats have proved their concern for the average man through legislation such as the minimum wage law." "This was done in spite of the Old Guard Republicans," he added. ' - NEW YORK Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, pointing a power house drive at the big voting centers around New York City, says a "top secreet document" on Korea is being used against him by his political enemies. He did not identify the. document other than to describe it as "a top secret document of the American Defense Department." In a radio broadcast he said, "This morning, there was' a very signi ficant item in the paper. It was this: There was quoted a top secret document of the Ameri can Defense Department. How it got there, we will never know, probably." HOLLYWOO D Dixie Lee Crosby, wife of crooner Bing Crosby and mother of four sons. was near death as she lay in a coma yesterday. Her husband and children were at her bedside, Larry Crosby, brother of the world famous Bing, said Mrs. Crosby's condition was "highly critical." She has been ill for several years. Mrs. Crosby, a singing and dancing star who gave up her own film career to raise a family, suffered a relapse Sunday while recuperating from a serious operation. SEOUL United Nations troops, on the alert1 for another "human sea" assault on Pinpoint Hill, forced 1,000 Chinese forming east of Sniper Ridge to dispense last night under a deadly rain of ar tillery fire. The barrage hit the Communist formation about 7 o'clock, but it was too dark to tell how many casualties were in flicted. Allied infantrymen cap tured Pinpoint Hill yesterday in an attack that began at dawn in near-freezing weather. They reached the crest at 10:30 a.m. and began herding the Reds down the northern slopes with grenades, bavonets and rifle fire. THROUGHOUT STATE Fresh forest fires spread across widely scattered sections of the Carclinas yesterday, throatonir thousands of acres of valuable woodland. Cold winds, which shot the mercury down to freezing, fanned the costly blazes and the weather man could promise no rain to ease the work of the weary firefighters. Forest fires, helped by a. long dry spell, crackled in several areas yesterday from the mountains to the coast of both states and a heavy pall of smoke reduced visibility. New Deal Students got a new deal offered them yesterday. Those planning to attend the Miami game in Coral Gables, Fla. over Thanksgiving may go by train at the roundtrip price of $39.62. This also includes meals enroule and a bus trip from Chapel Hill lo and from the train station.
