| Against Allied Truce Talks
Compiled by Donna Lindbeck
(From the '.Viren of Anxocliitod I’rrns and United I’renn)
I lie ( ommunists continued Monday to complain loudly about
Allied delays at the truce talk table.
I be I’eping radio boradcast a semi-official Comtnunist com
mentary that lashed the I'.X. command for failing' to accept the
k'ed proposal for an imediate buffer zone across Korea. They
said, in effect, the Allies are just stalling.
Previously, the Peiping radio broadcast a new Communist
( liaise that Allied planes bad violated the security area over
Panmtmjnm on Sunday and Monday. A I'.X. spokesman said
the charge is being investigated.
Meanwhile, for the Allied delegates talking to the Reds in
Panmunjom, the picture is as before—no progress.
The air attack was stalled in Korea . . .
... by a drizzly rain Monday, and only nix missions were flown. Two
weather planes completed their job of reconnaissance, and four B-26
bombers flew through the murk to hit Red front positions with radar
bombing.
On the ground, Allied infantrymen plodded through greasy terrain
’ for a thive-rpiartcr mile advance that took two slippery hills on the
central front.
A train wreck in a blinding snowstorm . . .
... ii. Wyoming Monday has killed at least 21 persons and possibly
us many as 32 Many others were injured when two east bound at ream
liners, the City of San Francisco and the City of Los Angeles, crashed
near the Utah border. 0
The City of San Francisco rammed the rear of the other train which
had halted for 1 block signal” in the blinding snow. The trains are
usually ten minutes apart, but the blizzard made both late. Apparently
rno-t of the deaths occurred in the last two cars of the City of Los
Angeles.
'The war to end wars' was commemorated . . .
...by much of the nation Monday amidst increasing arms produc
tion, an unwanted war half a world away, and faint hopes for enduring
peace.
President Truman keynoted the day in a nationwide radio address.
He called for an increased defense buildup to guard against new
dangers of world war.
The annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington cemetery was held
within sight of freshly-dug graves for the dead of the Korean war. The
president's place at the ceremony was taken by defense secretary Rob
ert A. Lovett. He echoed the president's appeal for strength.
Prime Minister Churchill told Commons . . .
.. . Monday there is a possibility of a high-level meeting v.ith Premier
Jo of Stalin when “circumstances are favorable." He said there were
no plans at present for negotiations with the Soviet Union, however.
Churchill made his statement as he and Foreign Secretary Anthony
Fden prepared to go to Washington, probably in January, for confer
en es with President Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
Rescue of Iran from its financial crisis . . .
.. . came Monday when the International Monetary Fund announced
it is crediting that nation with $8,750,000. The deal was made while
Premier Mossadegh talked with President Truman and the State De
partment about the oil dispute with Britain.
Fund officials say Iran needs the money desperately to help buy
food and raw materials to offset the loss of revenue from its oil.
Egyptian dock workers went on strike . . .
... at the vital Mediterranean port of Alexandria Monday in pro
test against the loading of a British freighter bound for Bombay.
Egyptian Customs Director General Mahmoud Said Bey urgently
appealed to the st rikers to return to work. He said the strike went be
yond the government’s call for a boycott of British goods and was “ex
tremely harmful to our national interests.”
Much of the freight blocked in the walkout is badly needed by Egypt,
Bey said.
Closer to home, 'phone workers . . .
... walked off their jobs Monduy in Oregon, Washington, and at
San Francisco, protesting proposed transfers of men. The several hun
dred telephone installers are employes of the Western Electric Co.
The dispute came when the company proposed to transfer 30 men
from Oregon to San Rafael, Calif., where housing is virtually non
existent.
There were no picket lines, and normal service was expected to con
tinue in all areas barring equipment failures.
Philippine Communist rebels were in battle . ..
. .. Monday with army reinforcements after the Hukdalahaps raided
the town of Santa Ana Sunday night.
The outbreak came on the eve of Philippines’ provincial and munici
pal elections Tuesday. Reports said the elections may be postponed in
Santa Ana because election materials were burned in the municipal
building. .
♦ ♦ ♦
More American aid to France . . .
... brought an air of urgency to the meeting of General Eisenhower
nnd U.S. Army Secretary Frank Pace in Paris Monday. Main topic at
the conference was how to speed arms to the western European army.
The urgency note came as France warned that she faced a serious
economic crisis and would not be able to meet defense commitments
next year without1 more American aid.
