Plot to Slay President Unsuccessful Two armed men were shot down by White House guards as they attempted to torce tneir wav into Blair house, President Truman's home. One of the assailants was kill ed and another escaped in the melee. Three White House guards were wounded in a gun battle. Inside the house at this time was President Truman. The assailants, dressed in civ ilian clothes, approached the two Blair house entrances, shooting with German Lugers. This occurred in the broad day light Within a matter of sec onds following the shooting, Washington police roared up in squad cars. Truman Unharmed Mr. Truman was unharmed but three White House policemen were wounded. One of the assail ants was killed and another ser iously wounded. It is suspected that one of them toad a communist record. Forty five minutes after the shooting the president drove to Arlington cemetery for a ceremony. His car was filled with secret serv icemen. Also in Washington, Secretary of State Acheson said the North Atlantic treaty nations are agreed that there shall be no German national army, German in dustry or a German general staff. In the Korean area, American divisions took over from losing South Korean troops in three ma jor sectors of Korea today as communist ground and air forces reached a new peak. The U.S. First marine division, ) the First cavalry and the Seventh infantry division drove hard against the communist forces which had driven ahead in shat- tered parts of Korea. At Lake Success the U.N. gen eral assembly extended Secretary-General Trygve Lie's term for three more years. This was passed despite a soviet bloc threat. Vote of Confidence The assembly supported the U.S. position that Lie should keep his office as an expression of confidence by a vote of 45 to 5, for the way he handled the Korean problem. The United States and 14 other nations backed the . resolution providing for Lie's retention. Vishinsky told the assembly that when Russia objected to Lie is wa6 "the duty of others to re spect the Soviet view. Otherwise, the majority would be trampling the right of the minority."
