West Wary of Plan
PARIS () Andrei Y. Vishinsky proposed Saturday simultaneous
prohibition of atomic weapons and establishment of strict atomic con
trols under which international agents would come and go on con
tinuous inspections in any country, including Russia, whenever nec
essary. The Soviet foreign minister told the " United Nations Political

It all began a number of years
ago when the poet Louis Unter
meyer wanted to sell a Sardinian
donkey. He fixed up an ad and
inserted it in of all places the
Saturday Review of Literature.
Stranger still, the ad brought
numerous inquiries and led to a
sale. That stimulated a flow of
ads for the Personal column of
the SRL's classified section. This
became, at least for the less liter
ate, the most interesting column
in the magazine.
It was a mine of surprises, as
the procession of maiden aunts
and retiring professors and lonely
hearts employed it as a medium
for establishing communication
with others of like, or different,
spirit. An ad might be simple,
something like this:
"A feminine dilettante with in
teresting mind invites correspond
ence. Box . . ."
Or the ad might carry more
appeal, like this one:
"Fireplace-and-slippers ex-ur-banite
greets free-thinking young
Miss enjoying mountains, solitude,
symphony, reading Box . . ."
Just as in the sale of real estate
there is temptation to dress up
an ad, so in the Personal column
might appear an ad on this style:
"Man who likes broccoli hollan
daise, Scott Fitzgerald and the
smell of bonfires invites corre
spondence from lady who abhors
motorcycles, eggplant and Mc
Carthy ism. . .
Some wanted merely to find
penpals, like th "sincere, uncom
plicated business girl" who "had
room in her Christmas stocking
for SRL --mail" propably for a
male too if properly vouched for
and endowed. Girls didn't do all
the advertising, by any means. For
example:

Sen. Belton Out
Of Treasurer
Race Picture
CANBY (JP) Howard C. Belton,
Republican candidate for State
Treasurer in 1948, said Saturday
he would not run for the office
this year.
Now a state senator, Belton said
he felt he should finish his term
in the Senate and "help complete
some of the legislative jobs facing
the state."
Belton, who was defeated by
Walter Pearson in the 1948 elec
tion for treasurer, said he might
file for delegate-at-large for the
Republican national convention.

Committee in a speech outlining
his new ideas on atomic control
that the international control or
gan should have the right "to con
duct inspection on a continuing
basis; but it shall not be entitled
to interfere in the domestic affairs
of the states."
Change of Policy
The Russians in the past have
rejected the idea of permanent in
spectfon teams, contending they
would spy for the West. Vishinsky
declared his plan was a "tremendous-
and momentous step for
ward and called on the West to
match the proposal.
American delegation spokesmen
immediately minimized the value
of Vishihsky's plan. They declared
it contained mostly "old stuff."
They said the provision that in
spectors shall not interfere in the
domestic affairs of the states
would nullify the inspection ma
chinery. :
To Consider Plan
U. S. Ambassador Ernest A.
Gross told the Political Committee
the United States would consider
the proposal. He suggested the
place to discuss it was in the U.
N.'s new 12-nation Disarmament
Commission.
Vishinsky made clear to report
ers after the committee adjourned
until Monday that he wants the
U. N. Assembly to proclaim now
at this session an unconditional
ban on atomic bombs. He said,
however, that such a ban could
not take legal effect under his
plan until the control system was
declared effective.
Tied up with his plan is the old
Russian recommendation, often re
jected by the West, for a one
third reduction in the armed forces
of the Big Five powers the Uni
ted States, Britain, France, Russia
and China.
'Youth for Ike'

WASHINGTON (JP) - Harry V.

Guilmartin said the group hopes
to get "hundreds of thousands" of
young persons to join up and wear

Carlsen
Dodges
Offers
(Pictures on page 6)
FALMOUTH, England (JP)-Capt.
Kurt Carlsen stubbornly rejected
Saturday all fat offers to cash in
on his 14-day saga aboard the
Flying Enterprise. He said he was
just not interested.
He hid out most of the day in
a Cornish hotel five miles from
town, dodging promoters with
contracts all ready to sign for
story and movie rights, television
and radio appearances and -endorsement
of commercial products.
Disappointed and somewhat be
wildered, these men sat around
hotel lobbies and most of them
conceded there was no chance now
at least of changing the courag
eous sKipper s mind.
No Commercialization
When he stepped ashore Friday
Carlsen said "I most certainly do
not want honest efforts ... to
save my ship to be commercialized
in any way."
And when Carlsen makes up his
mind it is hard to change him.
His stubborn but losing fight to
save his ship from the angry At
lantic proved that.
He has turned a deaf ear to
offers totaling between $84,000
and $112,000 which have come
from the United States, Britain,
France and Denmark.
Still catching up on the sleep
he lost aboard the ill-fated En
terprise, Carlsen said he wants
only to get back to his wife and
two children in Woodbridge, N. J.,
and then get another ship and go
back to sea. His company, the
Isbrandtsen Line, has assured him
that another ship, perhaps another
Flying Enterprise, will be assigned
to his command.
Ticker Tape Parade
But before returning to his life's
work at sea he will be lionized
at a luncheon in London on Mon
day and a ticker tape parade in
New York.
Still wearing borrowed clothes,
the 37-year-old captain Ventured
out of his hotel only long enough
to visit his shipping agent and
lawyers.
A crowd of about 300 admirers
quickly surrounded him and
touched off an impromptu dem
onstration. Police had to clear a
way for him.
He spent an hour and a half
clearing away legal angles involv
ed in the sinking of the Enter
prise. Afterward Philip Fox, the
shipping agent, said Carlsen had
completed his business here and
was free to travel to London.

Van Fleet told AP Correspond
ent William C. Barnard that the
Reds have increased the size of
their Air Force. But he said the
Eighth Army would "handle" any
Red aircraft sent over U. N. lines
in a major offensive.
""Those planes would fall like

that they have also reinforced
their armor. But the greatest

Truman May
Avoid Plea for
Tax Increase
WASHINGTON (JP) - President
Truman has about decided not to
ask this election-year Congress
for new boosts in income or ex
cise tax rates, informed officials
said Saturday.
Rather, they said, the President
will hit hard for a twin program
of (A) tighter tax law enforce
ment, and (B) the plugging of
what he has termed loopholes
costing the government several
billion dollars of revenue yearly.
Officials who may not be nam
ed said Mr. Truman's political ad
visers cautioned against an all
out drive for an increase in tax
rates. Barring a last - minute
change of mind, they said, the
President apparently has agreed.
The reasoning of Mr. Truman's
political aides was said to be that
the administration shouldn't stick
its neck out needlessly on behalf
of another tax boost since chances
of enactment are so dim.
Key Congress members of both
parties have said that barring all-
out war there will be no general
tax nixe this year.
This reported decision bv Mr.
Truman would mean abandon
ment of his repeatedly proclaimed
goal of pay-as-we-go financing of
the mounting defense effort.

A severe storm swirled through

burying Reno, Nev., under more
than 18 inches of snow heaviest
fall there in 14 years.
Heavy snow piled to record
depths in the Sierras. The blizzard
closed off all but one land route

flights were cancelled in the storm
area.
Two crack westbound Southern
Pacific streamliners carrying 450
passengers were blocked by snow
slides in the Donner Summit area.
Passengers aboard the SP's City

danger.
Many Reno residents were snow
bound in their homes. All avail

to the task of clearing streets, and

Main highways between Calif

were beset with floods after a

Some points in Central California

Flood water drove some 1.500
people from low-lying homes in

Search fc i
Ship, Crew
SEATTLE (AP) A dozen military plane wcr
readied Saturday night for a daybreak takeoff to eeardb
the gale-sxept North Pacific for the freighter Pennsyl
vania and her 45-man crew, missing since Wednesday.
Poor visibility Saturday forced the Coast Guard to
call in all search planes.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard
gave orders to the last two civil
ian ships in the area the Nether
lands Victory and the Pelican State
to head for their West Coast
destinations.
A spokesman said the weather
was too rough for the freighters
to continue their search of the
storm-tossed sea some 465 miles
northwest of Canada's Vancouver
Island.
Ships in Area
The Coast Guard Cutter Kla
math and the Canadian ocean pa
trol ship Stonetown remained in
the area. The Klamath's 4 p.m.
weather report told of an overcast
sky, rain squalls and fog patches,
15-foot seas, a falling barometer,
40-degree weather and 45-50 miles
per hour winds, with gusts up to
65 miles per hour.
"We will continue the search
until successful or until all hope is
abandone d," a Coast Guard
spokesman said Saturday night.
He called the "hope abandoned"
period "Still indefinite."
Debris Sighted
Hopes had been buoyed late Fri
day by reported sighting of float
ing debris 24 to 34 miles south
and southeast of the last reported
position of the i disabled vessel.
The floating material included
a hatch cover, lumber and plates,
boxes, drums and an oil slick.
The Coast Guard said It con
sidered the nature of the debris
sighted as giving no indication
whether the Pennsylvania still
was afloat.
A spokesman reported finding of
a hatch cover might be considered
ominous, but that the Pennsyl
vania's captain, George Plover,
had reported before abandoning
ship that the No. 2 hatch was
open and full of water.
