WORLD HEADLINES
(By the Associated Press)
The United Nations Security
Council told Israel and Egypt yes
terday to stop their warfare in
Southern Palestine.
Even as the council acted there
were reports that the fighting had
spread to other fronts in the Holy
Land, as well as continuing in the
embattled Negev — the southern
desert.
The new fighting was reported
along the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv high
way, where Trans - Jordan forces
are grouped, and northeast of Tel
Aviv in areas held by other Arab
forces.
A cease-fire resolution intro
duced by Syria asked for an im
mediate halt to the warfare and in
structed Dr. Ralph Bunche, the
acting U.N. mediator, to negotiate
for a return to the situation before
the outbreak of the Egyptian-Israel
hostilities.
All members of the 11-Nation Se
curity Council approved the im
mediate cease-fire, but Russia and
abstained from the negotiations
phase.
Israel challenged some findings
of the situation as reported to the
council by Bunche. Egypt accused
Israel of trying an “old trick-try
ing to throw responsibility on the
other side.’’
Palestine truce observers in
formed the United Nations in Paris
that the Israelis were generally the
attackers in the fighting which de
veloped outside the southern front.
The Security Council tangled
again with the Berlin crisis in an
afternoon session. The Western
Powers told the council that only
by lifting the Soviet blockade could
the threat to the peace in Berlin be
removed.
France’s nation-wide coal strike
caused new violence. Soldiers and
police seized dozens of strike-bound
mines and in one pitched battle 20
were injured on each side. The gov
ernment said it was taking over
only mines threatened with serious
damage because Communist-led
unions had ordered safety crews to
quit work manning pumps and
other devices.
Secretary of State Marshall re
turned to Paris after a 24-hour visit
in Italy. He conferred with Pope
Pius XII, President Luigi Einaudi,
Premier Alcide De Gasperi and
Foreign Minister Count Carlo
Sforza. Marshall shed no light on
his visit. The Communist press said
his visit with the Pope fore
shadowed some sort of Vatican
mediation in the East-West split.
At the same time it attacked
Marshall as a “sower of war” and
said his visit was directed toward
strengthening military solidarity
in Western Europe.
NANKING, Wednesday, Oct 20
(AP)—The Chinese Communists
claimed today they had captured
the Manchurian capital of Chang
chun, but a government military
spokesman denied it promptly.
A Communist broadcast from
North China said the city, which
has been beseiged for more than a
year, was taken when the U.S.
equipped new Seventh army sur
rendered.
The military spokesman said the
Seventh, led by Gen. Li Hung who

MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 19 (AP)—Vet
erans of two world wars, thousands
strong, paraded four and a half
hours in clear weather and another
hour and five minutes in a deluge
of rain here tonight. The parade
ended at 9:35 p.m.
Thirty-five of the 50 units in the
parade had passed the reviewing
stand when the rain came.
Some stragglers who didn’t have
any markings wiere splashing along
behind the last organized group
and there was a lone man from
Alaska.
By this time there was little or
der. It looked like they were parad
ing on a basis of every man for
himself.
They were even marching both
directions in front of the reviewing
stand and the hardy souls who re
mained until the last had a hard
time telling who or what was going
by. This was because the parade
route was shortened after the
deluge set in.
It was the first night parade
staged by the legion.
RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 19—(AP)
—President Truman, a “home
grown American farm product,”
evidently still is a little wide-eyed
about being in the White House.
He inserted in a speech at the
North Carolina state fair today a
remark that “it’s a wonderful
thing” to be president.
He said he had lived in Indepen
dence, Mo., since he was six years
old—he’s 64 now—and “nobody
paid much attention” to him for a
long time.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19—(AP)
—Police Chief C. H. Anderson of
Beverly Hills, who says he knows
who killed gangster Benjamin
(Bugsy) Siegel last year, report
ed today that he has received sev
eral threatening letters and tele
phone calls.
“But they’re from screwballs and
I’m totally disregarding them,”
Chief Anderson told reporters.
Leo Hubbard, chairman of the
county grand jury’s criminal com
plaint committee, told newsmen
he would confer with the district
attorney's office on how to obtain
information about the siegel case
from Chief Anderson. “We want to
know why no arrests have been
made in the case,” said Hubbard.
The police chief had told report
ers that “the persons involved are
so big w ecan’t go out and give
them the bum’s rush.” “This was
no ordinary shooting,” he added.
"There was big money behind it.”
Siegel, who figured in bookmak
ing operations, was shot to death
June 20, 1947 in the Beverly Hills
mansion of Virginia Hill, who was
in Europe. The shots were fired
from outside the house. Seated be
side Siegel at the time, but not hit,
was Allen Smiley, who was acquit
ted of perjury in federal court to
day.
Smiley, a native of Russia, was
charged with swearing falsely that
when he returned from a trip to
Mexico in 1944 he was employed by
Harry Rothberg, Los Angeles shop
keeper. The government claimed it
was a deliberate falsehood de
signed to deceive immigration of
ficials.
ROME—To balance her present
economy, Italy needs to get rid of
some two million workers.
Emigration is the only answer
which many officials can see. Emi
gration to where is the big question.
That was the force which drove
Mussolini into his great and dis
astrous colonization program, and
which now motivates much of Ital
ian policy.
It is a problem which hangs over (
the desk, the dinner table and the
pillow of many an Italian official.
It is why they are so vitally inter-'
ested in some compromise with
their present allies and former
enemies over return of some if not
all of their African colonies.
