Wilson Declares
Guns-With-ButJ- er
Policy to Remjain
' - ' t.
WASHINGTON (-Defense MobOizer Charles Wilson disclosed
Sunday the government has re-examined the guns-with-butter policy
of building up the nation's military might and has decided to stick
to it. V
In a report to President Truman, Wilson described "tremendous
gains in 1951." He said they were achieved with little disruption of
Eclipse May
Help U. S. to
Correct Maps
WASHINGTON WFl The Air
Force hopes that a test made dur
ing a. -total eclipse of the sun in
Africa" and the Middle East next
month will provide means of
correcting maps of the area to
within 200 feet of exactness.
Present maps of portions of the
world's surface, even well popu
lated areas, often contain errors
of many miles. This is of increasing
importance as the era of long
range -guided missies approach,
where aim over thousands of miles
must beprecise.
An Air Force announcement
Sunday said it is sending a scien
tific expedition from its chart
service.
The expedition will take up
positions along the path of the
eclipse on Feb. 25, over a 3,200
mile arc extending from Libre
ville, French Equatorial Africa,
to Dhahran in Saudi Arabia.
At six sites, photoelectric cells
will record the exact instant of
total eclipse. Using the time-totality
-factor and knowing the
speed at which the sun travels
with relations to the earth, the sci
entists tiope to compute the dis
tance between each site, possibly
with a margin of error of only 200
feet.
3 Persons Hurt
As Cars Crash
Three persons were injured,
none critically in a two-car col
lision Sunday night at North Lib
erty and (Marion Streets, city po
lice reported.

Cottage St., passenger in the
Hendrickson auto, was treated at

Both cars sustained extensive
front end damage and were towed

Pleven Faces
Voting Tests
PARIS (P)-The French National
Assembly votes eight times Mon
day testing whether it still wants
Premier Rene Pleven's five-month-
old cabinet In office.
If lie loses any one of the eight
votes, Pleven and his middle-of-the
road team probably will quit.
The result would be a Cabinet
crisis that might shift French
policy sharply to the left or right.
The eight issues before the As
sembly are part of Pleven's plan
for reorganizing the nationalized
railways and social security sys
tem to put them on a paying basis,
On each of them Pleven has "put
the question of confidence."

! industry or joblessness, lne se-
verest pinch" on civilians has be
gun, he said, and will run into
1953. ;
Wilson aksed for more legisla
tive ammunition in . the fight
against inflation. And, he cau
tioned, once wage policy has been
settled "there can be no yielding"
to further wage demands.
The broad built-up charted ear
ly during the Korean War, piling
the new military load on top df a
booming civilian economy over a
period of three to four years, has
been "thoroughly" scrutinized in
recent weeks in the light of criti
cism, Wilson said.
Dangerous Lags
The sharpest critic has been the
Senate Armed Services Subcom
mittee on Preparedness, headed by
Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex).
A month ago this group reported
"dangerous" lags in niilitary out
put. It condemned an asserted
failure to "put guns ahead of
butter."
Wilson told a news : conference,
at which his report was issued,
that no civilian cutback could
speed rearmament appreciably.
The achievement! , of the
American people in the past year
have been tremendous," Wilson
said in his report.
"We have come a long way
along the road toward a mighty
America which is also the road
to peace."
Military Gains
He recited these developments:
The addition of mora than one
million men to the armed serv
ices; addition of 28 wings to the
Air Force to make a total of 90
wings; a trebling of military de
liveries and construction, to a
total of two billion dollars
monthly.
Steel-making capacity has been
boosted by 4 per cent, aluminum
capacity by 10 per cent and elec
tric power production by 10 per
cent.
"On a number of major mili
tary items we have already
reached our planned peak produc
tion rates and have either levelled
off production or actually cut it
back," Wilson said.
LeveUns-off Point
Among the latter are two air
craft types, several types of radar,
and "a variety of minor and
easier-to-get items." Wilson went
on:
"By the end of 1952 we should
have reached the leveling-off
point in all of our major items of
military equipment except air
craft." One obstacle to smooth arms
production, Wilson said, has been
the lack of "realistic" production
schedules. Only now, he reported,
are firm schedules being pre
pared. "On the long-lead-time items
those requiring much advance
tooling, the deliveries we are get
ting are now from orders placed
before the attack on Korea," Wil
son commented.
"Not a single plana that was
not in production before Korea,
for example, has been used yet
in combat there.
"The bulk of the orders for the
new weapons reached Industry in
March or April of 1951, after ap
propriations were available.
"We are not seeing today nor
will we see until lata 1952 the
results of this order placement.'

towed from the scene. Mrs. Reeves
was occupant of her husband's
auto; the other two injured were
occupants of the Moore auto.
The injured were taken to the

Price Control
End Rejected
.ASHING TON (A)-The govern
ment has studied and rejected a
proposal to remove price controls
from items which like a num
ber of foods and clothing items
are selling substantially below
OPS ceilings.
Mobilizer Charels E. Wilson, in
his quarterly report issued Sun
day said the problem is mainly
the lack of any guarantee that
prices will stay at present levels.
"Our conclusion is that it will
be necessary for some time to
maintain price control across the
economy," Wilson said.

Greek Romeo
Minus Tears
For Lost Juliet
ATHENS, Greece (;P) Crete's
modern Romeo shed no salty tears
Sunday over the loss of his lovely
Juliet. Instead, says he, 'twas a
great relief "for me and my fam
ily" "I only feel very sorry for hav
ing loved so much a woman with
out heart, without feelings a self
ish creature," said dashing Costa
Kephaloyannis, who in 1950 swept
the daughter of his family's bitter
est rivals into, the mountains to
wed her.
His 20-year-old wife, Tassoula,
anguished , they say, because Cos
ta's business in Crete kept her
away from the brighter world of
Athens, left her husband Thurs
day and went back to her tearful
ly forgiving father, George Petra
cogeorgi, a Liberal member of
Parliament.
The father says he Is going to
try to have the marriage legally
annulled. Costa says Tassoula de
serted him his reward for "the
heavy sacrifices I have gone into
for her sake.
"This adventure cost my family
no less than 500 million drachmas
($35,000), mustachioed Costa told
newspapermen. He repeated that
the reason Tassoula left him was
her insistence upon living in
Athens, a thing Costa could not
agree to since he must look after
his family estates including a
grove of 3,000 olive trees on the
nigged, fabled island of Crete.
Nevertheless, said Costa, I am
very pleased at the turn things
have taken and I feel better than
ever.
Costa recently was freed from
prison after serving a term for il

Sermon Given
In Moscow
By Niemoeller
i MOSCOW, Pastor Martin Nie
moeller of the German Lutheran
Church Sunday night delivered a
Christmas Eve message to an en
thusiastic and fervent Russian
congregation which packed Mos
cow's Evangelical Baptist-Christian
Church here.
The Russian Baptist - Christian
Church will observe Christmas
Pay Monday under the old Gre
gorian calendar, whlcn is 13 days
behind the Julian calendar used in
the West.
: Jacob Zhidkov, head of -all Rus
sian Evangelical Baptist-Christians,
presided at Sunday night's
service heralding the birth of the
Christ Child. He welcomed Niem
oeller, and the congregation of
more than 1,000 worshippers
greeted the visitor in chorus.
Niemoeller said he brought the
Russians direct personal greetings
from the head of the German Bap
tists, Paul Schmitt, on behalf of
all German Baptists and then gave
his own greetings from the Ger
man Lutherans.
I The German pastor spoke of the
significance of the birth of Christ
in Bethlehem.
i Niemoeller mentioned the eight
years which he spent in Nazi con
centration camps and declared that
during this trying period he had
received much strength from a
small book of daily biblical texts.
His Russian audience was visibly
moved by his words.
Before NiemoeLIer's address, the
Russian pastor stressed the mes
sage of "Peace on earth, good will
to men" as sung by the angels on
the first Christmas morning.
The Christmas spirit permeated
the whole service and the church
itself. Over the altar were the
words, in large letters, "God is
Love. Pine boughs and Christmas
tree lights were the decorations.
The service opened with "Silent
Night" in Russian.
In an impressive farewell to
Pastor Niemoeller, the congrega
tion rose to sing a hymn.
