Reports from United States 8th tack with the Commonwealth Divi- sion unwillingly touched off the big battle. Chinese troops opposite the Pa- fricia's had launched a probing attack at 1:10 a.m. Wednesday and ran smack into the Canadians. The report said the Patricia's shot the force to pieces and blasted the remnants with artillery. The Reds scattered. ARTILLERY BARRAGE An hour later, headquarters said, the allied artillery barrage was roaring along 32 miles of the wes- tern front. Other reports, delayed by censor yesterday, said tank-supported in-. fantrymen of the Commonwealth division jumped off before day- break Wednesday from positions north of the Imjin River. By nighfall the infantrymen dug in to prepare for fresh assaults after their first rapid advances met little or no opposition and later ones encountered fierce resistance in hand-to-hand fighting. Spectacular hill climbing by gi- ant British Centurion tanks in fire-supported positions helped the foot soldiers drive into defences on the high hill dominating the divi- sion's front.

Washington (AP) -- Gen. Omar Bradley came back from the Kor- rean war zone today with word that "there is a chance of winning a military decision in Korea." The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff arrived by military plane of conferences with ieaders in the Far East. 'He was accompanied by state de- partment counsellor Charles Boh- len, an expert on Russia. Neither the general nor Bohlen would discuss the stalemated cease- fire negotiations. Bradley declined to comment on the purpose of the 8th Army drive that started yesterday on the west- ern end of the line, "When 'you see the morale of the 8th army," Bradley added, 'you feel that they can do most any- thing the enemy might throw against them." Bradley made a two-day tour of the battlefront and conferred sec- retly in Tokyo with Gen. Matthew Ridgway. At the time of his departure last Wednesday, there had been specul- ation that he was earrying to Ridg- way plans for new and larger mil- itary operations.

Since 1937, when the number of constituency members elected to the national executive was increas- ed from five to seven, the local parties -- the so-called grass roots or rank and file -- have always looked for a leader with blood in his eye. In 1937, for instance, right - wing members were pruned from the executive in preference for Sir Stafford Cripps, D.N. Pritt and the late Harold Laski, all on the extreme left of the party. Another explanation advanced here for the 'high vote 'polled 'by the Bevan group is that it repre- sents a protest arising from a feel- ing of frustration within the party.

But the announcement raised anew the question whether atomic warfare might flare in Korea. There Communist troops and United Nations' forces are in stale- mated battle. Is resort to atomic arms contemplated? There are these facts: 1. The announcement that "an- other atomic bomb has recently been exploded within the Soviet Union" and that Russia, despite pretensions that her atomic energy program is only for peaceful pur- poses, "is continuing to make atom- ic weapons." 2.

Mrs. A. Zhinahar- off, a roomer at 82 Park Road North, Oshawa, was spending yes- terday afternoon canning )eaches. Her doctor today said that she was "resting comfortably" but was severely burned down the front of her' body. Her canning room was a little annex of the garage in the enclosed grounds of the large house. Half- way through her "canning, Mrs. Zhinaharoff turned to the wood- burning stove on which she was heating the fruit and water. Her 210 pounds and the weight of the stove proved to much for the floor of the annex which collapsed. Scalding water, burning wood, jars and half-boiled peaches fell on the woman who was trapped be- neath the floor supports. Scalded and burned about her head and shoulders she screamed in agony. Her husband, Eldrick, was working in the garden when he heard the cries but he thought they came from a baby in the house. When he found his wife he helped her to her bed- room where she feebly tried to rip the burning clothes from herself. "Doctor, doctor," she moaned. Medical help was summoned and firemen arrived to put out a smalk fire caused by the collapsed stove. Nieghbors rushed in to give help and the burned woman was taken by ambulance to Oshawa General Hospital where her condition was described as serious. In her forties, Mrs. Zhinaharoff came from Central Europe to Cana- da three months ago. During her first month in her new country she sustained three broken ribs in a heavy fall and had not been long out of hospital, Election Date November 22 Says Newspaper Toronto (CP)--The Telegram says today 'on Ontario general election will be held Thursday, November 22 and the official announcement "will be made before the day is out."

Bellburns is about 18 miles south {of the spot where the burning schooner was found. The 197 - ton craft, owned by A. W.

It was presumed, however, that they abandoned ship after trying t control the fire. The Halifax salvage tug was off Riche point when her lookout noticed a flash in the sky -- similar to an-explosion -- and al- tered course to investigate. She stood by the burning vessel until daylight and then began to search for the crew. After several hours she reported 'still no sign of crew" and continued her voyage. EL EA King to Meet Privy Council London (Reuters) -- The King, who underwent a major lung oper- ation just 11 days ago, tomorrow may hold a sick-room meeting of his privy council to dissolve parlia- ment.

It is normally summoned be- fore a royal proclamation ends the life of a parliament.

News that the King was well en- ough to want to perform one of his duties came as. a happy surprise to the millions of his subjects who have anxiously followed daily bul- letins on his progress. . After the delicate operation Sept. 23, doctors said there would be anxiety about his condition for a week or 10 days. Members of all parties paid tri- bute to their sovereign when parl- iament reassembled t8day for its dissolution.

Members were scheduled to hear a proclamation from the King dis- solving parliament and clearing the way for the Oct. 25 elections. Both the loss of Iranian oil and the country's financial plight were expected to be hot issues. There were signs of such bitter- | ness among the members over |the goverment's abandonment of the huge Abadan plant that the im- partial speaker of the house was prepared to halt any effort to dis- cuss it in order to preserve tra- ditional decorum. While Britain was staggering at the loss of Abadan -- its greatest single foreign investment -- the chancellor of the exchequer, Hugh Gaitskell, came out with more bad news. He told the country last night that gold and dollar reserves of the British-banked sterling area had shrunk by $598 million in the last three months and now were only $3,269,000,000. Members of the sterling bloc are Burma, Iraq, Ice- land and all members of the com- monwealth except Canada.

The chancellor of the exchequer, Hugh Gaitskell, said the gold-dollar reserves of the British - banked 'sterling area shrank by $598 mil- lion in the last three months to $8,269,000,000. The size of this drop in the kitty backing the sterling area'sy trade with the rest of the world shocked treasury officials. Qualified sources had known there would be a drop, but forecast only a few weeks ago it would be in the neighborhood or from $350 to $400 million, The 'meaning of this financial storm warning' for the Conservat- ives and the Labor party is clear.
