Special Session Possible for 81st Compiled by Merle Mass From the wires of Associated Press In a comprehensive news conference Thursday President Tru man told his country he might be forced to call a special session of Congress, that he did not expect trouble in Western Europe this winter, that Gen. MacArthur knew in advance of this coun try’s plan to use the atomic bomb in Japan, and that he is serious ly considering making one or two campaign speeches, which will be made in Washington, D. C. His reasons for calling Congress back would be to give it more time to work on a whole list of things, including an excess porfits tax, rent control extension, and statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. The query on the atomic bomb came from an announcement by John Gunther that the General was not informed of the plan. President Truman said he gave the order to MacArthur and the General issued the order. At Lake Success... . . .U. S. Chief Delegate Warren R. Austin told members of the Political Committee that there is no evidence thus far that Soviet leaders have had a change of heart, but possibly the UN’s resolute action in Korea “has given pause to those who encourage aggression.” Austin assailed a pending Soviet “peace” resolution, commenting that the resolution said nothing about aggression, either direct or through fifth columns. British' Minister of State Kenneth Younger it also attacked the proposal. Meanwhile, India proposed that all 60 members of the United Na tions specify by next March how much and on what basis they are willing to reduce their armaments and contribute to an inter-national peace fund. The UN peace fund which the Indians proposed could be financed by what the nations saved from an arms cut. The fund would be used to combat hunger and disease and raise the standard of living in under-developed areas. Korean Republican Troops... . . . reached the Yalu river, border between Korea and Manchuria, early Thursday, and brought to a head conflicting reports whether American and other non-Korean troops would go so far North and whether the "Chinese Reds were giving any open support to the North Korean Communists. Eighth Army spokesmen said American troops would go to the border, but during his news conference President Truman stated it was his understanding that Korean Republic Forces would occupy the entire border between the two countries. As to the possibility of Red China forces aiding the North Korean troops, 8th Army spokesmen said there had been no evidence of overt or open support of North Korea by the Chinese Communist army. Chinese Communist Forces... . . .are invading Tibet according to the Kalimpong correspondent of the newspaper Statesman. He reported the communists were only a day’s march from Neiwutsi (Riwoche) which lies about 500 miles northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet. According to radio reports from Lhasa the country regards the invasion as direct aggression and is determined to fight, despite the communists’ superiority in numbers and equipment. The Russian “voice” (Pravda) said concerning the invasion, “three million inhabitants of Tibet must be freed from imperialistic op pression and the national defenses on the western frontier of the Chinese people’s republic must be strengthened.” The French Parliament... . . .voted 349 to 235 to accept Premier Rene Pleven’s plan for a unified European Army as the only form in which German rearma ment is acceptable. Former Premier Edouard Daladier had earlier1 told the parliment that the proposal was doomed, as all the other North Atlantic Pact ’Nations Would unite against the French plan. Pleven’s plan calls for a West European Defense Minister to run the army. Wall Street... . . .was still shaking after two selling waves battered the stock market Thursday. Prices fell from one to three dollars before find ing a bottom. This resulted in nearly $2,000,000,000 hacked off the mar ket value of all stocks listed on the exchange. Twice during the day trading hit such a hot pace that the high-speed ticker tape drop ped behind in reporting transactions from the floor. Early this week a report said that Chrysler Corp. was planning to split its shares, but shortly after noon Thursday K. T. Keller, Pre sident of the corporation said there would be no splitting of the stock. At this the market nose-dived again. Wall street quarters saw noth ing specific in the news, aside from Keller’s statement, to account for the market’s weakness. The National Production Authority... . . .banned the building of any new structures for “amusement, re creational or entertainment purposes” Thursday, to go into effect at midnight last night. Covered by the ban are theaters of all kinds, amusement parks, race tracks, golf courses, and night clubs. In all, there are 44 forbidden types of structures. In Oregon, Public officials and builders estimated this could affect at least $4,000,000 worth of public and private projects in Oregon. A proposed $2,000,000 memorial building in Portland topped the list. A committee had planued to open a campaign for it this fall. A-Bombs from Carriers... • . . .is now a possibility the Navy has announced. For the first time, big planes capable of carrying the bombs have landed on an aircraft farrier at sea. The navy identified the planes as the AJ-1 attack ^bomber. The ship carries a crew of three.
