UNITED NATIONS, New York,'
Dec. 1 At United Nations, con
ference room is located on the
level just under the great hall
where plenary sessions of the as
sembly are held. It is used most
of the time for sessions of the two
political committees which are
known as the first committee and
the "ad hoc" or special commit
tee. Today, each held one session
in this room, the ad hoc commit
tee, which is working on the Pal
estine item, in the morning, and
the first committee in the after
noon when it concluded work on
the Indian resolution offering a
means for -bringing an armistice in
the Korean War.
Since these two topics are the
ones of sharpest controversy at
the moment in UN, each com
mittee spoke to crowded galler
ies. In the morning, Ambassador
Eban of Israel offered his "blue
print for peace" in Palestine. He
invited the Arab states to enter
into direct negotiations and out
lined the benefits which would
flow from an accord on the issues
which now separate them: Settle
ment of the Arab refugees, end
ing of the Arab boycott on trade
and halting of travel and com
merce. He put the blame on the
Arabs for launching the war after
U.N. approved a partition of Pal
estine. But Ahmed Shukairi of Syrai,
who followed Eban and spoke for
the Arabs, rejected the glowing
picture painted by the Israeli dele
gate. He put the blame on the

Top Democrats
Urge 'Country
AboveParty'
WASHINGTON Uft President
Truman and the man he hoped
would succeed him discussed plans
Thursday for recapturing control
of Congress in 1954. But both ex
pressed agreement that the coun
try's welfare should be placed
ahead of the Democratic party's.
As Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson put
It: "Party interests must be sub
. ordinated to the interests of the
country and the public welfare."
Hours later Truman told a news
conference the Democrats should
give the new Republican admini
stration a chance to operate, and
he said he will be as happy as
anybody else if the Republicans
operate all right.
That was the President's way of
declining requests for comment on
President - elect Dwight D. Eisen
hower's cabinet designations.
Truman said his talks with Gov.
Stevenson, the unsuccessful Demo
cratic nominee for President, dealt
with plans for keeping the party
alive so it can take over Congress
again in 1954.
"We do not intend to try to in
fluence Democrats in Congress to
obstruct, delay or in any way im
peril the national welfare and the
new administration's program in
sofar as it is compatible with the
views of pur party," Stevenson
said.
The Illinois governor, who came
here Wednesday to discuss the par
ty'i future with Truman, had an
amiable session with reporters at
the White House, where he is a
guest.
The Democrats two major prob
lems, he said, ate to pay off a
deficit of more than half a million
dollars and to "serve the public
interest."

Road Sounds Urged
To Fioiislhi Freeway
Approval by the 1953 legisla
ture of an additional bond issue of
$32,000,000 would mean improve

main traveled highways, Ben
Chandlei, state highway commis
sion chairman, told members of
the legislative highway interim
committee in Salem Thursday.
The additional highway bonds
also would provide money, Chand
ler said, to complete the Port-land-Salem
freeway, the southern
end of the Salem by-pass and im
prove other major highways. A
substantial part of Pacific High
way 99 would be reconstructed,
widened and made a freeway in
many sections, Chandler said.
The 1951 legislature authorized
highway bonds aggregating $40,,

LYONS State Police arrested
William W. Delawter, 32, Marion,
near Lyons Thursday, 16 minutes
after the Question Mark Cafe here
was robbed of $60 by a knife
brandishing man.
Dewalter was charged with arm
ed robbery and auto theft. State
Patrolman Russell Haynes made
the arrest seven miles west of Ly

ating an auto which Howard
Baldwin, Lyons, had reported
stolen.
Baldwin, who operates a cloth

entered the cafe and flashed a
knife. Mrs. Robert Jubb, wife of
the proprietor, fled through the
back door. The man scooped $60
from the cash register and left.
Baldwin said Mrs. Jubb ran
into his store. He said he phoned
state police, and the man drove
off in the Baldwin car while he
was reporting the crime.
Baldwin said his car was dam

sideswiped another car on the out

Dewalter was taken to Linn

Head Quits
Boost Given
WASHINGTON UR President
Truman accepted the resignation
of Archibald Cox as chairman of
the Wage Stabilization Board
(WSB) Thursday night and named
Charles C. Killingsw-rth to re
place him.
Cox quit in protest against Tru
man's decision to overrule the
board in the soft coal wage in
crease case. Truman ordered ap
proval of the full $1.90 a day in
crease negotiated by John L. Lewis
for his United Mine Workers. The
board had voted against any in
crease beyond $1.50 a day, on the
ground it would be inflationary.
Killingsworth, the new board
chairman, is a 35 - year - old
economics professor from Michi
gan State College. He had been
vice chairman.
Despite the speedy shift in chair
men, .the wage board was unable
to function because of a boycott
by its six industry members, who
had sided with Cox and the five
other public members in the mine
wage dispute.
The industry members called a
meeting for Friday at which they
may decide whether to follow
Cox's lead and resign. Some of
them at least were believed cer
tain to pull out. One told a re
porter the President's action made
a "mockery" of the board's work.
The increase granted by the pres
ident was for diggers of soft coal.
Hard Coal Boosted Too
In another development late
Thursday the government approved
a daily wage boost of about $1.90
for hard coal miners.
Economic Stabilizc-r Roger Put
nam wrote a letter to the WSB
saying Truman's soft coal decision
"of course would extend to any
other similar contract Involving the
raise negotiated by the hard coal
men."
It was uncertain Just when the
Board would be able to comply
with Putnam's order, because of
its disorganized state.
Putnam also gave official ap
proval late in the day to the soft
coal contract between Lewis and
Harry M. Moses, president of the
Bituminous Coal Operators Associ
ation. Moses bargains for 240 million
tons of annual soft coal production,
slightly less than half the nation's
production. He was the only indus
try official who appealed the ori
ginal WSB cutback decision to Put
nam.
Unhappy at Order
The six labor members of the
WSB, although outwardly pleased
that the miners are going to get the
full increase, were unhappy that
the WSB was overruled. They them
selves had voted for the full $1.90,
but the public - industry majority
cut the raise back to $1.50.
The labor members said the
presidential overturn set a prece
dent which could work both ways.
They appeared agreed that Tru
man's decision destroyed the inte
grity of the tri-partite system, and
they predicted it would have a
terrific and disappointing im
pact on other unions which have
accepted WSB wage reduction ord
ers.
The president said failure to ap
prove the full $1.90 would probably
bring on a coal strike which would
confront President - Elect Eisen
hower with a "national emergency"
on the very day he takes office.
Truman said he wanted to present
Eisenhower with a smoothly func
tioning economic machine.

LONDON Gfl Prime Minister
Churchill announced a new cutback
in the British defense effort Thurs
day to minimize the entanglement
of the nation's economy in an in
flationary spiral.
He did not specify the size of the
cut in his statement to a packed
and attentive House of Commons.
But he made it clear the action was
designed to protect Britain's finan
cial solvency.
"Some curtailment must now be
made," Churchill said. "This win,
to some extent, involve the can
cellation or modification of con
tracts already placed.
"The reductions will, so far as
possible, be brought about by
spreading deliveries of equipment
over a longer period. It will, how
ever, not be "possible to solve the
problem entirely by spreading de
liveries forward intj future months
or years."
This was the method used in the
first cutback. Churchill's Conserva
tive government announced last
winter that Britain's long range, 13
billion dollar 'earmaraent program.
first put forward late in 1950, had
been extended a year beyond the
originally planned three years be
cause of manpower and steel short
ages and the effects of the nation's
economic crisis. Last July Churchill
warned that a further curb would
be necessary to prevent "a plunge
into bankruptcy." '
Churchill stressed that Britain is
as determined as ever to carry
her full share in the efforts of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion. Britain is now spending 1,462,
000,000 pounds ($4,093,000,000) a
year for defense. More than a
third of this goes for new weapons.

Duncan explained that the two-year-old

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. un
South Korea turned down an In
dian compromise proposal for end
ing the Korean War Thursday as
the president of the U. N. Assem
bly wrote an appeal to the Com
munists to. accept it.
Y. T. Pyun, foreign minister of
the U. N. - sponsored Republic of
Korea, announced here that his
government could not accept the
Indian resolution, approved Wed
nesday by 54 of the 60 U. N.
members, because "it is against
the spirit of the constitution of
the Republic of Korea."
Western delegates said private
ly they would not worry about
South Korea's stand if the Com
munists did the unexpected and
agreed to the proposal.
Pyun objected to the heart of
the plan, which is a provision for
sending thousands of North Ko
rean war prisoners to a demili
tarized zone from which they
would be repatriated by aU. N.
commission. Pyun said his gov
ernment regarded the prisoners as
liberated Koreans. Those who de
sired to remain in the South should
be liberated now, he added. The
others are Communists, he said,
but they still are Koreans and are
not alien prisoners of war. He said
it would reflect on Korea's sov
ereignty to send them to the de
militarized zone, even temporarily.
Lester B. Pearson, president of
the Assembly, told a news , con
ference he was writing a letter
to go along with the Assembly's
resolution. This letter would ex
plain the background of the resolu
tion and would end with an ap
peal to Peiping and Pyongyang
to accept it.
The resolution calls for creating
a repatriation commission made
up of Czechoslovakia. Poland,
Sweden and Switzerland to take
charge of the prisoners. It pro
vided specifically that no force
should be used to repatriate or
detain them. If the prisoners were
not disposed of in 120 days, they
would be handed over to the U. N.
as refugees.

guess President Truman was

can stated, adding that when the
new administration takes over, the
nut commission will repeat its re
quest with hopes for better re
sults. Duncan's report showed that un
der its research program six new
uses for filberts were being tested
with "reasonably satisfactory re
sults," adding that in the case of
filbert nuts in ice cream and re
lated products, the result was very
good. The use of filberts in cheese
and dairy food spreads was also

lieved.
He urged growers to continue
