MAKES BID FOR STEEL PEACE , . . Cyrus Ching (facing
camera) director of the U. S. mediation service, is surrounded by
newsmen as he arrived from Washington to make another effort
for settlement of the paralyzing steel strike. These conferences
were described as "exploratory," although Ching later reported
that the situation was "not hopeless."
TRUMAN:
Supports A-Curbs
"To assure that atomic energy
will be devoted to man'» welfare
and not to his destruction is a con
tinuing challenge to all nations and
all peoples."
In those words. President Tru
pledged his support to any
man
safe and effective plans that would
outlaw the atomic bomb.
THE PRESIDENT spoke at a
in which the United Na
ceremony
tions laid the cornerstone for its
permanent headquarters in New
York city.
Mr. Truman called the corner
stone rites "an act of faith— our
unshakable faith that the United
Nations will succeed."
The President declared that con
trol of weapons is essential to a
peaceful world and said that "Ever
since the first atomic bomb was
developed, a major objective of
U. S. policy has been a system of
international control of atomic
energy that would assure effective
prohibition of atomic weapons . . .
and at the same time would pro
mote the peaceful use of atomic
energy by all nations."
HE ENDORSED anew the Ber
nard Baruch control plan which
was rejected by Russia.
The chief point of disagreement
between western powers and Rus
sia on atomic energy control has
been insistence by the West on an
effective means of inspection see
that nations would keep their
pledges to outlaw the bombs. Rus
sia wouldn't hold still for that pro
posai.
WORLD FRONT:
Spotty Picture
The world picture was spotty as
international developments became
increasingly confused. A Washing
ton development intensified the
tension between the U. S. and Rus
sia in the cold war, British and U.
S. leaders were beginning to split
on the issue of recognizing the
Chinese Red conquering govern
ment, France was hard-pressed to
organize its government, a Greco
Tito pact appeared possible and the
U. S. closed its consulate at Da
rien. A look at the overall situation
showed that in:
WASHINGTON - The United
States in a new crackdown on Rus
sia had obtained an indictment
against Amtorg, Russian purchas
in the U. S. and six of
its officers on charges of failing to
register as agents of a foreign
power. The maximum penalty for
violation of that law would be $10,
000 fine and five years imprison
ment. The firm itself was liable to
a $10,000 fine. Shortly after U. S.
attorney general McGrath an
nounced return of the indictment,
five of the Russians were arrested
by FBI agents in New York. As
was expected, Soviet officials
vigorously protested the arrests.
There had been repeated allega
tions in congress that Amtorg acts
as an espionage agent. Said assis
tant U. S. attorney Edward R. Rig
ney: "Diplomatic passports don't
constitute a defense for the crime
charged here." The indictments did
not charge Amtorg with serving as
an espionage agency for the
Soviets.
LONDON — There was a de
veloping split between Great Brit
ain and the United States on the
issue of recognition of the Com
munist regime in China. Indications
were that London would establish
full diplomatic relations soon.
However, this appeared contingent
on whether the Communists would
GOLD RUSH
Pea-Size Nuggets
The spell of the Yukon was reach
ing out 'again to heat the blood of
men who seek quick fortunes in
gold. Reports of nuggets "the size
of peas" being found near Fish
wheel in Alaska had been flashed
throughout the territory and a new
gold rush was on. Grizzled sour
doughs, untried tenderfeet vied with
•ach other to stake claims for the
nrecious metal.

Norway Reports Progress
In Atomic-Energy Study
Norway was getting along rather
well with atomic research, accord
ing to a report by the council for
scientific research.
The report said drilling for
uranium in Sctesdal valley had
been successful, and underground
operations had started with a crew
of 30.
The country's first atomic pile
is being built near Oslo, and three
universities have received equip
ment for atomic research.
ENGLAND:
More Austerity
In a drastic effort to rescue
Great Britain from its financial
morass. Prime Minister Clement
Attlee charted an economic course
designed to save 784 million dol
lars annually. He also ordered a
cut of 400 million dollars in dollar
imports.
THUS did the prime minister
plot a course of more austerity for
the British people.
The savings effected, or hoped to
be effected, would result from lop
ping off spending for national de
fense, capital investments, public
relations and food subsidies.
Attlee presented a quick, graphic
interpretation of what was pro
posed. "We must reduce expendi
ture and increase production," he
told the house of commons. But it
wasn't as simple as the formula
would seem to make it.
To the already austerity-weary
Britons it meant that many of the
goods for which they now have to
stand in line for hours would be
even more scarce. Gasoline and
some food items would cost more.
They would have to pay a 14-cent
fee for medicines they were getting
free under the national health pro
gram.
leave the British alone at Hong
Kong and promise to respect their
rights there. The difference on opin
ion between the U.S. and Britain
on the subject of recognition was
not considered as a particularly se
rious one. It was regarded here as
an inevitable reflection of their dif
fering national interests. While the
U.S. has been withdrawing from
China, the British are still "in"
and hope to remain so for obvious
economic and financial reasons.
Harassment by Chi
nese Communists had forced clos
ing of the U.S. consulate there. The
American consul and vice-consul
from this Russian-controlled city
moved to Seoul. The U.S. attaches
who had spent 15 months here said
Communist policies prevented their
relief at the end of a scheduled
eight-month tour of duty. At a news
conference, the reported Commu
nist obstacles had limited their
movements severely. Vice-consul
Culver Gleysteen said he was once
held four hours by Chinese Com
munist police and Soviet soldiers
who accused him of "signaling out
to sea" with the lights of his jeep.
HAWAII— The prolonged strike
of dock workers at five of Hawaii's
six ports was over at last. The CIO
international longshoremen's and
warehousemen's union ordered its
2,000 striking stevedores to go back
to their jobs. The men struck May
1, demanding a raise of 32 cents in
their $1.40 hourly wage. The strike
technically ended October 6, but
continued, pending settlement of
side issues involving working condi
tions, pay and other issues in outer
island ports.
DARIEN
Cast New Yukon Spell
I
Planes loaded with excited men.
and mining equipment and husky
dog teams were pushing into the
area in a race with the arctic winter
which would paralyze all mining
efforts. The village of Fishwheel
was mushrooming overnight like
the famed cities of the fabulous
Yukon of the earlier gold rush days.
The lure was like a magnet, reach
ing out with impelling force.
FARM FAIR:
World's Biggest
Something of interest to every
who
agriculturist, from the man
wants to grow bigger potatoes
the high-booted cowboy with me
prize-winning Hereford, is on the
agenda of the Canadian Royal Win
ter Fair slated for Toronto's coll
lo
seum November 15 to November
23, omitting Sunday.
IN ADDITION there will be a
complete display of the latest
wrinkles in farm machinery and
aids to more profitable operation
The Royal Winter Fair has long
been recognized as the world's
largest agricultural exibition
staged under one roof. Sponsored
by Canadian federal, grain and ag
«cultural associations, the compe
titions carry with them many
world championship awards.
FOR THE FIRST TIME in 20
years, competition in the seed and
grain divisions will be thrown open
to any grower in the world and
thus will award the winner world
championship honors. Some 10,000
prize ribbons together with thou
sands of dollars in
Farm home displays, washing
machines and a host of things in
teresting to women are always fea
tures of Canada's top winter fair,
monetary
awards will be handed out.
GEN. VAUGHAN:
'Shock Absorber'
It was interesting to note the
multiple interpretations Maj. Gen.
Harry Vaughan, White House aide,
was applying to his position of en
tertainer, aide and personal confi
dant of President Harry Truman.
AT A DINNER given by fellow
Democrats in Washington, Gen.
Vaughan, linked with the capital's
"5 per centers" and mysterious
John Maragon, one-time White
Houje hanger-on, portrayed him
self in a new light.
He is, he said, a "shock ab
sorber," as it were, as well as a
"part of the scenery" at the White
House.
"IT IS NOT pleasant furnishing
the throat." he went on, "but I
might as well earn my pay by be
ing a shock absorber ... at the
White House."
"I am an authority on investiga
tions," he said. "We've had so
many investigations in the last
year or so that have laid an egg."
He pointed out that when admin
istration critics complain about
"trivial things," it's a healthy sign
that "there is not a great deal that
they can complain about."
THE "TRIVIAL THINGS" to
which the general referred were
charges that certain Washington
figures with "influence" could
swing government contracts and
favors where they wished for a
"5 per cent" fee, gifts of deep
freezers to members of Washing
The general's personal popular
ity continued unimpaired. He and
Mrs. Vaughan were elected hon
orary vice-presidents of the Dis
trict of Columbia Democratic club.
LEOPOLD:
No Poll, Please!
Former Belgian premier Paul
Henri Spaak wanted none of a pro
posed poll to determine if King
Leopold should return to the
throne.
SUCH AN ACTION might "de
stroy Belgium" Spaak declared in
a radio address in Brussels.
Premier Gaston Eyskens, a pro
Leopold Social Christian, has pro
posed a country-wide poll on
whether Belgians want Leopold
back from his exile in Switzer
land.
"I approve the prime minister's
desire to solve the royal question,"
Spaak said, "but I do blame him,
condemn him for trying to solve
the royal question this way."

ISOLATION:
A 'Big Peril'
In Chicago, Sen. Scott Lucas (D.,
111.) was sharply critical of a num
ber of coUeagues whom he called
"an isolationist group of senators
far more dangerous to the security
of our democracy than the Com
munists and feUow travelers under
orders of Stalin." Lucas, majority
leader in the U. S. senate did not
name the senators at whom he
hurled the criticism, but he identi
fied them as opponents.

Universal Drink
Except for water and milk, tea
is the most universal of drinks —
and one of the cheapest. It is con
sumed at London tea parties and
Japanese ceremonials, by Tibetan
monks who serve it with butter, by
Arab sheiks who flavor it with mint,
and certain Mongol tribes who like
it with a touch of salt.
Bedbug Control
A dust containing 10 per cent
DDT is fully effective for the con
trol of bedbugs. Dust well into
cracks and crevices of walls and
baseboards of infected rooms and
over the surface of bedsteads and
mattresses.
