Drastic New Steps Avoided In Hilli Circles WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 -(JP)-The United States cautiously held off any drastic new steps to deal with the Korean crisis today while officials sought additional facts on both the military and diplomatic fronts. The delay of policy decisions appeared to result at least in part from Prime Minister Attlee's im pending visit here. The White House and state department evi dently want to keep further moves in a state of indecision until after talks between the British leader and the president get under way Tuesday. Attlee is due here Mon day morning. Today there were these develop ments: 1. Gen. J. Lawton Collins, the army's chief of staff, left suddenly on a flying trip to the far east for an on-the-spot inspection of the military situation and a confer ence with Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur. 2. Secretary of State Acheson summoned Ambassador Warren Austin from UJN. headquarters at New York for a one-hour and 50 minute discussion. 3. Assistant Secretary of State Dean Rusk briefed representatives of the 20 Latin American countries on the general far eastern, situa tion and Korea. Well informed officials said that on returning to New York Austin would consult widely with other United Nations members on the Shoppers Out in Full Force I SC-1 m f i Britain, France LDad Torn.ado oiriKcs xowns in : Aim at Early Pact with Reds V, 'J LONDON.

Qualified officials said the ac cord came in a five-hour meeting of French Premier Rene Pleven with Prime Minister Attlee. on the eve of Attlee's flight to Washing ton for face-to-face talks with President Truman. Pleven flew to London with'his foreign minister. Robert Scbuman. and other aides to see Attlee. After the parley.

' ways has sat behind the winning team. Navy was host this year, and the president occupied a box on the Navy, side. Last year he sat behind the Army team, and before that the president traditionally shifted from one side of the field to the other at half time. Officially Mr. Truman was neutral, but he often has said he likes to root for the underdog. . "I was on the navy sida this time," the president told report ers. "It was one of the fastest and most interesting games I have ever seen. If it. had gone on a little longer Navy would have scored again. i There was only one incident to hour of questioning, and were tak en back to the stadium in time to see most of the game. "It was just a foolish remark, said .U. E. Baughman, secret service chief. A man about 40 was picked up outside the stadium with what city police described as a high powered camera. . Sgt. btephen x lynn and Detec tive Joseph Tursi of the Phila delphia police would not disclose his name. They said he had the camera pointed toward the navy yard, a block away. They quoted him as saying he was taking pic tures of the arrival of the mid shipmen. Not since the end oi the second world war in 1945 were such pre cautions taken to safeguard the president and Mrs. Truman.

Governor McKay urged close grading and marking of all mar ketable agricultural products in Oregon. "I don't nave too mucn nope from protective tariff" said the eovernor. adding that "I believe more in proper merchandizing.
