Opening Wool Prices
,zcom in Australia
SYDNEY, Australia UP) Ex
perls described as "sensational"
Monday the bidding at the open
ing of the Sydney wool sales.
ihe Sydney Sun said the opin
ion among brokers was that prices
were at least 40 percent higher
than those paid at last year's sale.
A record crowd saw the first
lot of 12 bales of greasy Merino
knocked down for 142 pence ($1.35)
a pound.
Eighty percent of Ihe first 70
lots brought well over 100 pence
(04 cents) a pound. The top price
was 162 pence ($1.33) a pound
for eicht bales of ewe combines.
The shortage of wool supplies i
and the desire of some countries,
notably the United States to stock
pile because of the uncertain in
ternational situation are regarded
as the principal factors in the
high opening prices.

Anti - Red Protest
Drops Actress
From TV Show
NEW YORK lP) General
Foods corporation dropped actress
Jean Muir from its NBC television
version of "The Aldnch Family"
yesterday after she was attacked
by several anti-Communist groups.
The company said it was not
passing judgment on the merits of
the protests against her, but was
taking the action because she hid
become a "controversial personal
ity" who might have a bad effect
on the company's advertising.
Miss Muir, formerly a movie ac
tress, had been scheduled to play
Mother Aldrith in the video show
for 18 weeks this fall. Her succes
sor has not yet been announced.
"It seems unbelievable that an
actress can have such a setback
to her livelihood and career based
on nothing more than unsubstan
tiated accusations made over the
telephone and by telegram, she
said in a statement afterwards.
"General Foods corporation It
self makes clear in its statement
that they have not gone into the
truth of the charges and in no way
support them or believe them true.
All this is most unfair and un
just." Miss Muir said she never had
been associated with the Commun
ist party, and said she regards
it as "one of the most vicious in
fluences in the world today."
One of the protests against her
came from the Joint Committee
Against Communism in New York,
whose Coordinator, Rabbi Benja
min Schultz, said it is made up of
slate commanders of six veterans
and patriotic groups and officials
of civic groups.

Administration
Gagging M'Arthur
Senator Charges
WASHINGTON (P) Senator
Knowland (R-Caiif) says the ad
ministration is 'gagging" General
Douglas MacArthur.
Knowland called President Tru
man's directive to MacArthur to
withdraw his contemplated state
ment on Formosa "another in a
long series of efforts to keep the
truth from the American people."
The California Republican, who
frequently has disagreed with ad
ministration foreign policy toward
the far Pacific, issued a statement
in which he also demanded that a
'secret report" on Korea by Lt.
Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer be
mime public.
Wedemever is the author of an
other report on China which .
the administration kept secret for j
nearly three years. j
It was published a year ago
after insistent demanrjs in ion
gress. Among other things', Wede
meyer proposed a vast new aid
program for Nationalist China, pro
vided Generalissimo Chaing Kai-
shek agreed to sweeping govern-,1
mental reforms.
Knowland told a reporter the
Wedemeyer report on Korea was
made at the same time as the
one on China. He said he had been
allowed to examine it on a confi
dential basis and added "it is
highly significant."
He said he would ask that the
report be made available to the
senate armed services and appro-
E nations committee. He is a mem
er of both.
In his statement, Knowland said
Ihe directive to MacArthur
'strongly indicates that Secretary
of State Acheson and Trygve Lie,
secretary general of the United
Nations, are now preparing for an
other Munich with the republic of
China and the island of Formosa
as the pawns."
Bail Of 11 Convicted
Red Leaders Revoked
NEW YORK P The U. S.
Court of Appeals today revoked
the bail of the 11 convicted Com
munist lenders and gave them 30
days to try to stay their jail terms.
The. order was in a two-to-one
decision by the three-judge court.
U. S. Attorney Irving H. Say
pol said the ruling in effect gave
the Red leaders a 30-day stay of
their prison terms.
During the time he said, the
convicted men may apply to the
U. S. supreme court for a further
stay of sentence pending determi
nation of their case before it.
The court of appeals, at the
same time, denied a petition by
the Red leaders for a rehearing
of their appeal.

when his daddy pointed an un

low will never laugh again.

pulled the trigger. The boy fell
to the floor, dying, with pellets
through the eye and his side.
