U. S. Reported Urging
Belgium to Restrict
Its Dollar Imports
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK. Nov. 26—The
New York Times said today the
United States—"without modify
ing its traditional policy of non
discrimination in trade’’—is urg
ing Belgium to restrict dollar im
ports.
Aims of the restriction, the
Times said, are that Belgium
thus could .buy more from Eu
rope, reduce her creditor status
on the continent and spur the
whole rearmament program.
Both Governments Split.
The Unied States is doing the
urging "through the medium of
currently important policy mak
ers,” a Washington dispatch by
Fell* Belair, jr., said.
Mr. Belair reported:
"The proposal, which originated
with the European Payments
Union, has split the Belgian gov
ernment down the middle just
as it has divided the executive
branch here (in Washington).
“On both sides of the Atlantic,
the advocates of expediency for
rearmament are arrayed against
adherents of orthodoxy in mone
tary policy as represented by free
currencies, unrestricted trade be
tween nations, and the other
tenets of so-called economic lib
eralism.”
The story said: “The conflict is
expected to come to a boil in Paris
this week in negotiations between
the United States and Belgium re
garding American economic aid
and the role of Belgian industry
in the defense effort of North
Atlantic Treaty members. Finance
Minister Maurice Frere has held
out against the proposal thus far.”
Snyder Reported Opposed.
"The United States.” the story
added, "has been prevented from
indorsing the program officially
because of opposition from the
Treasury Department under Sec
retary John W. Snyder.
"Nevertheless, negotiators for
the Mutual Security Agency are
pressing for an agreement run
ning directly counter to the an
nounced policy of the United
States.”

Boy's Tall Story
Leads Rescuers on
Wet, Useless Chase
By the Associated Press
HICKSVILLE. N. Y.. Nov. 26 —
A small boy’s big story led police
and firemen on a wet chase last
nicht.
The boy. identity unknown,
raced up to a Lour Island Rail
road watchman and told this tale:
A playmate had climbed a 50-foot
ladder to the railroad water tank
at Hicksville—and had failed to
return.
Then the youngster, about 10,
disappeared.
Police and firemen came. The
aearch party grew to more than
100 persons.
They grappled in the 55,000
gallon tank in the chilly night.
Finally, they drained the tank—
for the first time since 1907.
The firemen sloshed down into
the tank.
They found: Three dead pi
geons. No small boy.
Matter of fact, as of today, no
youngster was reported missing.
None, that is, except the boy
who turned in what the searchers
called a false alarm.

Allies Believe Satellite Officers
Command Red Chinese Artillery i
By th« Associated Press
WESTERN FRONT, Korea, Nov.
26.—There is a growing belief on
the Western front that Russian
satellite officers have taken com
mand of the Red Chinese artillery.
Staff officers and commanders
give two reasons:
1. Since November 1 the Red
artillery has shown an amazing
increase in speed of fire and ac
curacy.
2. At least one Allied radio man
has heard “pure Russian” artil
lery orders.
It was heard (two words cen
sored) made by a former Polish
soldier now in the British service,
was picked up eight date ago.
The British Pole said he heard
a voice adjusting the Communist
gunfire “in pure Russian.”
Sir Guy Lowther, commander of
the 8th Hussars, Britain’s Centu
rian tank outfit in Korea, said an
entirely new war began in No
vember with a startling improve
ment in Red artillery.
Other officers said that instead
of the wild and scattered fire that
has been typical of the Chinese,
the Communists recently have
been pumping in highly accurate
fire that sometimes amounts to
two or three shells a second for
a period of up to one hour.
This marked the first new de
velopment in Red artillery since
the Communists began to use field
guns in numbers last May.
Some Allied officers said it was
obvious Russian satellite officers
would be called In to step up Chi
nese efficiency—espeecially as the
Russians themselves are among]
the world’s best artillerymen, and
have provided the Chinese with
guns |
