KMTV America's plan to rearm western Europe for defense with in the reasonable future is In Erave peril. This is underscored y weekend election returns giv ing a wide margin of victory to a German party, the Socialists, which opposes rearmament as ; presently planned. The political problems of re armament are enormously com- Elex and controversial. But mi tary men agree the military es- sentials for rearmament are sim ple and unavoidable!: (1) There can be no effective defense of Europe without both ; Germany and France parti cipat ,' Ing fully. (2) Formation of defense arm . lea must begin at once to be ef , f ective. It may already be too late. There appears no prospect of s carrying out either of these mili-'-, tary essentials in the near future. i It had been assumed the Ger ;i man people were ready to jump ; to arms if asked. In yesterday's i election, however, two large Ger man states, gave their answer to '! the rearmament problem. Editors and politicians agreed today the answer was no rearmament. Even if this trend of public opinion can be changed it will take moncns. . i U. N. Assembly Rejects Soviet 'Peace' Plan ' . NEW YORK, Nov. 20(VThe .'United Nations assembly today; re l jected Russia's terms for cooper- a ting in the development of Secretary-General Trygve Lie's 20 year peace program. Instead, it adopted a nine-power resolution calling for the appropriate U.N. bodies to work on various phases of Lie's plan. The backbone of the secretary general's 10-point plan was a ser ies of high-level security council meetings at which foreign minis ters, prime ministers and other top officials would tackle the UJf.'s outstanding problems.' Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei ; Y. Vishinsky had countered with a aeries of conditions, including the participation of Red China in the council meetings and the absolute prohibition of the atomic bomb. The VS. charged this was an at tempt to barter peace. The 60-nation assembly beat down each section .of the Soviet resolution In a paragraph-by-par-agraDh vote. Its vote for the nine power plan was 51 in favor, five (Soviet bloc) against, and one (Nationalist China) abstention. None of the Soviet points received more than 16 votes. , The Lie program was elaborated . by the i secretary-general ' last spring and presented by him to . President Truman, Prime Minister Attlee and Prime Minister Stalin, Besides, the periodic conferences, . It calls for long range economic and financial policies to raise world living standards, and sug gests intensified efforts to break the deadlock on atomic energy. - Car, Suffers Minor Bruises Seven-year-old Robert Norton, T. 1415 N. 19th st, suffered minor bruises on his head and body Mon : day afternoon when struck by a car on Silverton read near its intersection with Larsen ave.

Reasons for the outbreak were not clear. But Mexican Consul Bernardo Blanco, who was trap ped in a guardhouse by the riot ers, said: "The men told me they 'had to do it' because of bad treatment." Prison Warden Howell- Gage denied that mistreatment was in volved. "One prisoner may have said that to Blanco as an excuse for his actions," Gage said, "but I know definitely that any alleged mistreatment is not the reason." Inquiry Continues The warden was continuing to investigate. He said is concerned "a prisoner who was out of line." The rioting ended quickly. The prison yard gate swung open. Warden Gage marched in with 12 state policemen armed to the teeth. They were carrying pistols, shotguns, submachineguns and gas bombs. They threw several bombs, but no shots were fired. Gage ordered all prisoners to the mess hall after the riot. Sul len silence answered his- request: "If any one has anything to say right now, stand up." ' Many Convicts Armed Gage fixed the number of riot ers at about half the 200 convicts in the exercise yard. A search af ter the riot disclosed a large num ber were armed with straight razors, knives, crude blackjacks, chains, pieces of pipes. Prison officials said the general arming indicated the riot had been planned. As the convicts stood silently in the exercise yard at 10 a.m. two prisoners started to fight. Guard M. H. Chesher rushed in to break it up. Seven or eight convicts attacked him and one felled Chesher with a chain. The others kicked and pummelled him. The mob then tore bricks from a sidewalk and rushed the "yard office" building, hurling the bricks through windows. There wasn't a whole pane of glass left in the building after the charge. After wrecking the yard office, the mob moved to an administra tive office opening onto the pris on yard, which they, also wreck ed, smashing desks, chairs and windows. Equipment Hurled Prom there the mob moved to the prison canteen, where equip ment and other merchandise was hurled to the floor and thrown outside. While this mob was wrecking the two offices and the canteen, another group jumped guards at the prison laundry and the prison tailor shop. It was in the yard office that Consul Blanco, Cuernavaca, Mor elos, Mexico, was caught as he and his secretary, Jorge L. Castil lo, Merida, Yucatan, were waiting to see some Mexican nationals in the prison. "All 'of a sudden a prisoner stepped in," Blanco said. "He had a knife and he tried to stab a guard." The secretary, was hit by bricks and flying glass. . The prison Identified the injur ed guards as Chesher, John Live say, Simon Calles, W. R. Loflan, Raymond Nash and Jess Day.

Irate residents met at Swegle school to protest recent elimina tion of the Fruitland-Swegle run by City Transit Lines.

Nov. 20 Consumer spending shot un by an unprecedented $13,200,000,000-a- year rate during the July-September period to reach a record annual volume of $188,400,000, 000, the commerce department re ported today. .This mass assault on retail counters netted a $14,000,000,000 spurt in the gross national pro ductiontotal output of goods and services to an historic high of $284,300,000,000.' It came close to the $300,000, 000,008 I a year total output goal President Truman spoke last Jan? uary of attaining "within five years," but there was a hitch in it - The president said he meant $300,000,000,000 worth of goods and services valued at the prices prevailing at the start of 1050. Much of the $30,500,000,000 a year rise since then has been due to increased prices. The commerce department said, in fact, that one-third of the $13, 200,000 jump in consumer spend ing in jthe third quarter of this year, compared with the previous quarter j "stemmed from higher prices1 Purchases of greater quantities following the outbreak of the Kor ean war on June 25 accounted for the other two-thirds of the in crease, jbut the department saw a price iangie in mat, too. "To a large extent, such pur chasing .has undoubtedly been mo tivatedor at least accelerated by fear j of subsequent supply dif ficulties' and of further price in crease,"1, the department said in its November "survey of current business." , NAM Requests 'Defense Tax' I. Avoid Profits WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 -re organized business suggested to day that a "defense tax" on top of corporate income levies be' sub stituted i for the . administration's excess profits tax proposal. The (suggestion came from Charles! R. Sligh, Jr., Holland, Michigan, representing the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers, i Despite a committee ban against discussion of anything except an excess profits tax, the NAM got its alternative proposal into the house ways and means committee rocord. I What! Sligh did was to advise the committee its records contain ed an inaccvurate description of the NAM proposal. He then ex plained; the inaccuracy and quot ed the associations tax program. However, for tha fourth time since the hearings started, the committee reiterated its intention to stick; to the subject of excess profits. Chairman Doughton (D-NC) has contended that congress gave its tax-writing committee a man date to produce an excess profits tax bill, for the session convening next Monday. Besides, he says, the committee's time is too lim ited to cover a broader field. Ends Today Open S:45 SAMUEL GOLDWYN I own 7 i m arc WroIra-jQu nub J Second Feature "Armored 'Car Robbery" .

Greene , WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-)-President Truman was quoted today as wanting congress to extend federal rent control for three months when the lawmakers return for the short "lame duck" session on November 27. Prospects for senate action remained dim, however at least until the new 82nd congress meets in January. . ' Chairman, Spence (D-Ky.) of the house banking enmmlft. ..m arter a wniie xiouse visit xnac aor. Truman wants congress to extend the controls until March 31, 1951, at the forthcoming session. S pence told newsmen the pres ident's idea is that a three-months extension now would give the new congress a chance to explore "the whole question of rent con trols in order to decide what is needed In the future.'! Under present law, all federal rent controls expire Dec 31, 1950, except in communities which vol untarily keep the curbs for six more months, flam Resolution S pence said ne wui miroauce a resolution in line with Mr. Tru man's proposal when the "lame duck" session begins a week from today. The Kentucklan said his com mittee will conduct hearings on the proposed legislation, and declared: "I think I will support It if the testimony Justifies7 its passage." On the other side of Capitol Hill, Senators Taff (R-Ohio), Bricker (R-Ohio) and Maybank (D-S.C.) were among those who generally threw cold water on any chance of the senate going along. -N.tmFav.r- Bricker, a chief spokesman against the last two extension of federal rent controls, told a re porter he is "certainly not In fav or" of action at the special session, although he said congress "might take a look" in January. Bricker said there Is "no need now" for an extension because local communities have enough authority to carry on the controls, if they desire, unto the middle of 1951. , Similarly, Taft told newsmen last week, on returning to Wash ington. from his smashing victory at the polls: I would, doubt that the lame duck session will extend the rent control law ' RED DELEGATES IN PRAGUE PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Nov. 20-(jF)-A Chinese communist del egation, en route to the United Nations to nress charges of ag gression against the United States, arrived in irague woaj Moscow. from Must End Tonight!
