holes in the dark.
The Reds and Allies traded rifle
and machine gun bursts for about
an hour. Then the Communists
slipped away.
During the action, an Allied pa
trol to the Northeast fought a 30
minute skirmish with a Chinese
patrol.
Temperatures were around zero
on the frozen front.

Bey of Tunis
Capitulates to
French Orders
TUNIS, Tunisia LP The bey
of Tunis capitulated Saturday to
pressure from Paris and finally
rubber - stamped a' couple of
French reform decrees. These pro
vide for election of village and
town officials- jobs he has been
filling by appointment as the nom
inal ruler.
The action by the 71 - year -
old bey, Sidi Mohammed Al-Amin,
appeared to have eased at least
temporarily a tense situation be
tween France and this North Af
rican protectorate, which wants
more self - government.
French officials said he had
promised also to approve other re
form decrees the French will sub
mit to bis palace in the ancient
city of Carthage, on the site where
Hannibal once challenged the Ro
man Empire.
The bey gave In shortly after
a representative of Resident Gen
eral Jean de Hauteclocque, driv
ing from Tunis to Carthage along
a road lined with troops and po
lice, delivered to him a mysterious
note from France.
The decrees he initialed were
among measures he had turned
down previously on the advice of
a nationalist - minded council of
40 top Tunisian leaders.
The council declared the decrees
did not go far enough in meeting
Tunisia s demands for more self
rule. De Hauteclocque wants this
council dismissed on the ground
it is anti - French.
In theory. Franco - Tunisian re
forms are to be worked out among
the bey, ms Cabinet and the
French government, but there has
been a lot of foot - dragging.
Scores died in Tunisian rioting
early in the year and unrest and
agitation . still persists.
The French Cabinet announced
in Paris Thursday 2iat it had draft
ed detailed measures for handling
the Tunisian situation, that it was
sending a message to the bey and
"the application of these measures
will depend" on his reply.
The French maintained secrecy
on the terms of the warning. There
were reports, officially denied,
that the bey would be kicked from
his throne and his inuuoo-dollar-a-year
Job as sovereign.
There was talk that the French
planned to exQe at least some of
the bey's 12 children unless be
toed the mark. A government
spokesman seemed to confirm this
when he said there was no thought
for the moment of doing such
a thing.
Two of the bey s children. Prince
Chedley and Princess Zakla. are
passionate nationalists.
Tunisian officials weren t able.
for the moment at least, to give
their side of the story.
But Arab sources said the bey
may have given in through dis
couragement at the United Na
tions action on the Tunisian issue
and the loss of support of two
key nationalists through imprison
ment and death.

Last Full Day
Of Autumn
Like Winter
By The Associated Press
Autumn's last full day for 1952
brought fog. sleet, snow and rain
to wide sections of the nation Sat
urday slowing traffic on highways
and airlanes.
A mixture of rain, sleet, snow
and freezing rain was falling from
the Great Lakes westward and
southward through Iowa and into
northern and eastern sections of
Missouri.
An ice sheath caused telephone
line breaks in Iowa which cut 33
Northeast Hawkeye towns off
from long distance communica
tion. This included Grinnell a
town of 5,000 persons. Trael was
slow due to ice-coated roads. Tbwo
was six inches of snow in the
Sioux City area. Some airline stops
in the state were cancelled due
to ice oa airfield runways.
An all-day fog closed in on Chi
cago and its southern suburbs,
halting tendings at Midway Air
port. Automobile traffic on southern
and central Illinois roads was
slowed down by fog and drizzle
while in the northern section of
the state highways were slippery
with ice and slush.
Another rainstorm came out of
the Pacific and moving through
the Western States carried precip
itation from Los Angeles to West
ern Montana. Another rain area
spread from the Central Gulf
Coast northward to the Ohio Val
ley and northeastward to Lake
Erie.

Chief Attacks
'Power Lobby'
DENVER 11 A charge that
organizations which "profess to be
for the people" are "falling for
the blandishment- of the multi -million
- dollar priva'e power lob
by." was hurled Saturday night
by James G. Pattern, president of
the rational Farmers Union.
Ptton said in a statement that
private power Interests "ae mov
ing on the nation's puuue-power
resources with a greedy eye. con
fident of taking over through ac
tion of the new Congress." If they
are successful, he declared, it
means strangulation" for the pub
lic power -Tdustry.
For example." said the farmers
union chief, "the American Farm
Bureau Federation at its recent
convention opposed the building of
public transmission lines to carry
public power away from the' dams
to public customers, when private
companies want to build them.
"This is just another way of
turning the public power over to
the private utility trust -to be used
for its profit, rather than the
people' benefit.
"The National Reclamation As
sociation, . . . actually devoted to
turning over the benefits of west
ern development to its profit -miking
friends, wants the Federal
Power Commission to have control
over all power - rates, public as
well as private.
"This would give the commis
sion power to jack up public rates,
so much lower than private ones,
so as to eliminate public compe
tition with private companies."
He added that "the millions of
farmers" who are members of
rural electric cooperative associa
tions "are awake to the menace
of the situation."

Fluoridation
An Oregon citizens' Health
Study Group has gone on record
opposing fluoridation of Salem's
public water supply, it was an
nounced by Mrs. M. C. Butler,
vice chairman and a Salem mem
ber of the group.
She said the group had studied
fluoridation and concluded that
it is harmful to parts of the body
other than teeth, results in brittle
bones and violates constitutional
rights in that it would amount to
mass medication and compulsory
dental service.

its counter-high base and mea
sures them with laboratory accur
