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.
