session in Korea in an effort to reach terms for resuming
armistice talks. There is still no actual sign of progress toward
resuming negotiations, however.

again being up to their old trick of delaying and harassing
the progress of the talks.

And so it goes, while over here ...
... The U.N. security council has adjourned until Friday morning
without acting on the British-Irnnian oil dispute.
Britain wants new talks on the dispute under the sponsorship of
the U.N. But Iran objects to that. And the Iranian premier—Moham
med Mossadegh- personally argued before the council, saying it had
no business Interfering with the oil dispute because It was an internal
matter.
Nope, he's a Communist front group member...
.. . said the house un-American activities committee of Dr. Channing
Tobias, another of President Truman’s nominees for delegate to the
U.N. He Is the second of the ten nominees to have the charge made
against him.
The first was ambassador Philip Jessup who Republican senator
Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin accused of having been affiliated with
six Communists fronts--charges which Jessup denied.
Disapproval of another sort...
... has been displayed by the treasury department which has fired
the chief of customs appraisers In Detroit, Theodor Hurwitz, on
charges of misconduct.

could come Into the United States and what the customs tax should be.

front by American troops.

big Red base of Kumsong. .

ground northwest of Yanggu against opposition described a3 light
to moderate.
Back in Washington ...
... Congress will try again today to figure out a new tax-boosting
bill acceptable to both houses. But a senate-house conference group
got nowhere yesterday in efforts to replace the measure killed by
the House.
MacArthur had the Legion behind him . ..
... when he let go with a rousing barrage against the Truman ad
ministration in Miami, Florida at the Legion convention.
The former U.N. commander charged the administration was lead
ing the nation toward Socialism and blasted our foreign policy, saying
you can’t negotiate with Communists.
He was applauded 49 times during his 45-minute speech.

... on charges of being lax In looking into irregularities in the
Internal Revenue Bureau. Two Republician Congressmen are de
manding the Investigation, Kenneth Keating of New York and Patrick
Hillings of California.

... came word tonight that three of its employees in New York
have tried to resign. The Bureau said all three are under investigation,
and their resignations have not been accepted. No mention was made
as to what the investigation is for.

... to use her influence to bring about a Korean Armistice, the
state department disclosed last night in a bulletin from the Asso
