Eisenhower Advises Friendly U. S. Spirit Backed by Strength « §y fK# Assorio'ed Press MANHATTAN. Kans.. Oct. 25.—A neighborly spirit, backed by strength, was set out today by Gen. Eisenhower as the only way for the United States "to salvage our civ ilization from the ruin of war." Speaking before a homecoming gathering at the campus at Kan sas State College, of which his brother. Milton, is president, the Army chief of staff told 6,000 students and visitors that "the free world today depends on Amer ica to lead the way." 'From our viewpoint." he said, "there is no reason why two dif ferent systems of government can ' not live together peacefully. But it i; idle to believe that any nation, however powerful, could long exist free in a world otherwise completely dominated by aggressive dictator ship." Before his speech, the general Stood with his brother on a review ing stand on Manhattan's main street as a two-mile homecoming parade passed. A erowd, estimate'! by citv officials at close to 30,000 turned out to welcome "Ike'' as one of Kansas' famous sons. Under a glistening sun. the gen eral grinned, lifted his field cap in recognition, and waved his arms as the parade went by. He quickly in cluded himself as an ardent rooter for Kansas State in its Big Six con ference football game with the Uni versity of Nebraska today by sav ·' ing "I want to see some good old Kansas rocking and socking out there." Nebraska won. 14 to 7. The general, speaking to the crowd gathered in a natural amphi theater on the college campus, de clared Americans are living in a world where force and jts threat made "realization of our dream of peace-' difficult and "even impos sible in certain areas." He said the United States could share its food with hungry coun tries. then called for unity "for the effective execution of national policy determined by majority de cision."

Taff Might Go Along' On Limited Aid Plan, He Says at Cleveland By the Associated Près» CLEVELAND, Oct. 25. —Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio, declared today he might go along with a limited aid-to-Europe plan but ex pressed strong doubts about any permanent multi-billion dollar ar rangement. Picketed once again—this time by six ClO-United Electrical Work ers who ignored the wishes of their regional director—the Republican presidential candidate disclosed that he recently conferred with President Truman on the scope o! the Marshall plan. "I asked the President," he told a capacity City Club audience, "if we were to consider both (emerg ency and permanent· Marshall plans at the same time, and the President told me that he would have the permanent plan ready b.v November 17 and hoped for quick congressional action." * * I favipr contlnyçd aid to Europe in a reasonable açiount. But now I hear thait tinder the perma nent Marshall plan we are to give Europe $8,000.000.000 the first year.' Opposes Price Controls. On the other aspect of the com ing special congressional session high prices, the Ohio Senator wa.< ; asked from the floor about prict control. He replied he d'id not favor re ! instatement of controls and that he j tf^gtit ï$no one else did "except |uw**vfiw~ jrnce - çoniruxa fu unie Ιοί peace, he said,'''will not work" jin this country. High prices, he asserted, primarily were due to failure of corn crops, increased foreigp exports, stimula tion of wage increases, "spreading 'United States dollars over the j world,'' aijd high taxes. Senator Taft said he understood j that $300,000.000 were to be asked ; of Congress to provide coal for Europe in the first year of the Marshall plan. "I believe that it is debatable ι whether we should ship coal to Europe, ' he went on. "I also under ! stand that we are to spend $500, 1000,000 over a four-year period on petroleum shipments, $1,800,000.000 ! the first year on steel and $1,500, 1000.000 for food we will pay for, shipped from the Argentine and Canada." Pickets Distribute Menus. The pickets distributed mimeo graphed menus of fine foods outside the club while Senator Taft spoke The menus purpoited to show a long list of expensive food the Sena tor consumed on his recent Western tour. At the top of the handbills were the words: "'Eat-i^ess' Taft?'' Sam Sponseller. CIO regional di rector, is a member of the City Club's Entertainment Committee which invited Senator Taft to speak Mr. Sponseller previously termed the picketing ''dastardly'' and an abridgement of free speech.

Newspapers Defended i The British minister gave a long defense of the "independent daily newspaper of which there are hun dreds in Great Britain." He said they "are produced by small staffs that owe no allegiance to the big corporations and which repeatedly tell the government and leaders and Mr. Vishinsky to go to blazes." Mr. McNeil said he wanted to try to force Mr. Vishinsky "to admit that we do not pretend that our press Is perfect and that his press is not perfect either." Looking at the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, Mr. McNeil said: "If there is to be any peace, it will not be achieved by Mr. Vishin sky's denouncing everyone who doesn't think Russia is an earthly I paradise." Mr. Vishinsky again referred to a statement which he said former ι Gov. George Earle of Pennsylvania made calling for the dropoing of atomic bombs on the Kremlin. I "It \his not war propaganda?" he asked. He said it was an "instance of aggression and an abuse of free | dom of speech." , "We consider it our duty not.to ; permit such things in our country," 1 the chief Soviet delegate said. "You will never find in the Soviet press any demands to drop oombs on Ankara or New York." Warning on Interference. Soviet Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri Manuilsky warned that if fVio Ofofet.· norci cfo.-l i4ir> f η ο role of a policeman'' other countries might decide to interfere In Ameri can affairs. Declaring that the United States was "preaching against the working people of the world," the fiery Ukrainian cried out: "If the United States continues this role then other countries may decide to interfere in the affairs of ; the United States." He said that although there are "powerful Communist parties in Eu rope" there is no powerful Commu nist party in the United States. "It's a game today—a game similar to the old anti-Comintern campaign," he added. Proposals Summarized. The "warmonger" proposals brief | ly are these : Russia—Asks the U.

Greece and Turkey of "all types of fabrications through the press, radio, cinema and public speeches."

I Bulgaria Places Self In 'Anti-Imperialist Camp' Led by Russia By the Associated Press SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 25.—The National Fatherland Front Com mittee declared today the United States was attempting to destroy Bulgaria economically and that Bulgaria's place was in the "anti imperalist camp headed by the great Soviet Union." f The group, made up of executive committee members of parties rep resented in the Fatherland Front government, issued the declaration after several" days of discussion ol the international situation. It was signed by such leaders as the Communist premier of Bulgaria George Dimitrov, and Communist Party Secretary Vulko Chervenkov (Bulgaria was among the nine na tions represented at the Communists information bureau in Belgrade.) Divided Into Two Camps. The declaration said in part: "The countries of the world are ; being formed into two camps—the imperalistic camp on the one hand iand the anti-imperialistic or dem i ocratic on the other. "The imperialistic anti-demo i cratic camp, headed by the United ; States, is aiming to subdue econom j ically and politically nations de stroyed and impoverished because i of the war: to suffocate theii democracy, to re-establish anew a reign of reaction and Fascist forces and to prepare new wars for estab lishing world domination of Amer ican imperialism." The declaration added: xj uigcj i ι λ ΐώ uuunucu υ ν vj ι rri/r and Turkey, which have turned intc bases of Anglo-American imperalistf and represent a constant threat tc the independence and securitv ol our country and other Balkan dem ocratic countries. Friends and Enemies Clear. "For every honest Bul&artan it is clear today who are his fiirndf and who are his enemies. Every body remembers the unjustified Anglo-American imperialistic inter ^ ference in Bulgaria's legislative ' elections in 1945, their enemy p.tti >|tude toward Bulgaria at the Pari.'

Chairman Charles Luckman of the Citizen's Food Committee pre dicted the other 5 per cent of the ι industry, from which he has not yet. | heard, will "join wholeheartedly" in ; the shutdowYi to save grain for Eu rope. ' But the AFL Distillery Workers j International Union, contending that! 10,000 to 12.000 workers will be laid off, "urgently requested'' employers : to meet with union leaders in Chi i cago next Thursday. To Define Union Position. Joseph O'Neill, union president said the session Is "for the purpose j j of defining the union's position." j ! Previously, officials of the union had indicated they may file damage j suits, request "standby pay" for dis placed workers, or file charges of un ! fair labor proctices with the National ; Labor Relations Board on grounds j ; of lockout. Mr. Luckman has offered his serv ices, if necessary, as a neutral agent ; in helping get workers reassigned to ! jobs in the bottling, labeling, ship ping, maintenance and other de-; partments which will continue to operate. Announcing that all distilleries of j Tnrliiotvioc Τ »-» r. Ο fû /mm _ plying with the voluntary shutdown request, L. J. Gunson. president of ; the Kinsey Distilling Corp., estimated that there are nearly four years' sup- j plies in warehouses. No Shortage Expected. A spokesman for the Distilled Spirits Institute, representing 60 per cent of the industry, has stated: "There will be no shortage of liquor, and there is no excuse for raising prices." Publicker produces about 30 per cent of American distilled spirits, > Mr. Gunson said. He added: "When United States distilleries, j ceased operations, the industry had ; on hand in Government bonded j warehouses approximately 550.000. 000 gallons of whiskey and neutral j spirits (used for blending ι which had not yet been bottled. * * » 2,500,000,000 Fifths. "The 550,000,000 gallons * * * will eventually be converted Into 2.250, 000,000 bottles (fifths· of whiskey which with the 250,000.000 fifths al ready on hand, will make 2.500,000, 000 fifths of whisky available for United States consumption." Mr. Gunson said that of the 10,000 1 Publicker employes, only about 250j are engaged in the actual distilling ' operation. Industrial alcohol plants as well as beverage distillers joined in the shutdown. A spokesman for the Luckman committee said firms rep resenting 97 per cent of the commer cial alcohol capacity and 94 per cent of the whisky production sent con firmations of thfeir closing. / Between 10.000.000 and 20.000.000 bushels of grain, mostly corn, will be saved. Mr. Luckman has esti mated. This is 10 to 20 per cent. of the goal for President Truman's en tire food conservation campaign. The Nation's 450 brewers of beer and ale have said they will go on ft voluntary grain-saving basis No vember 1 by halting the use of wheat, table-quality rice and feeding barley for 90 days; reducing the use of corn 25 per cent from last month's consumption, and buying no sor ghum grains until February 1. If the savings tell short of 1.000.000 bushels a month, the industry is pledged to reduce further its use of corn. The A. Smith -Bowman Distillery at Sunset Hills. Fairfax County, Va., will close along with the other dis tilleries. A. Smith Bowman, sr., head of the firm, said last night he had decided to close when he learned that the 13 other small distilleries which, like his own, had been re fused an exemption to the closing, were shutting down. Mr. Bowman said it will be neces sary to sell some of his 500 head of cattle, chiefly dairy cattle, because of the lack of wet mash from the distillerv normally nseri ax fppri Lutherans Top Quota Set In Overseas Relief Drive Lutheran churches of the Wash ington area have received more than 25.000 pounds of clothing, shoes and other goods during the overseas re lief drive during the last two weeks, the Rev.

Warren of the American State De partment tonight demanded a $10, 000.000 slash in the International Refugee Organization's $18,706,000 budget for administrative expenses. Mr. Warren. United States dele gate, told the IROs interim commis sion that the United States, which had been bearing about 45 per cent of the total cost of refugee operations in Europe, might be reluctant to contribute any more money "unless our operations are convincing."
