TTo Seat China Reds;

By FRANCIS W. CARPENTER
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. JP) A United States resolution
shelving all proposals to seat Red China in the United Nations this
year was approved, 44-10, by the General Assembly Tuesday in a
heated opening session.
The delegates also voted, 35-11, against balloting at the first
session on a move by the Soviet delegation to toss out Nationalist

For the first time in a good
many months I attended a meet
ing of the City Council Monday
night, being attracted by the
public hearing on extension of
the one-way street grid. In fact
it was my first visit since the
loud-speaker system in the
chambers was installed all the
same as United Nations with
"mikes" available for members
of the Council and the employed
staff. In spite of the system
acoustics were not too good due
chiefly to the fact that members
often didn't speak directly into
the microphones.
Mayor AI Loucks moves pro
ceedings off with dispatch yet
without railroading. The printed
agenda is available to all so visit
ors know the items under con
sideration. There were no major
items of business on the agenda
other than this hearing, but the
council members didn't waste
time haggling over inconsequen-
tials.
The surprise to me was the lack
of fireworks over extension of
the one-way street grid. Recalling
the strong opposition which
arose several years ago when
the grid was first proposed I had
anticipated a strong showing
against its extension. Some oppo
sition was voiced but it was mild
compared with the previous fur
ore. I couldn t help wondering if
the lack of protest indicated
that the people wanted the grid
extended or whether they felt
that their protests would be of
no avail. I did not get the impres
sion from the comments of the
Mayor

Stock Market's Slide Attributed
To Worry Over Business Outlook
By STEVEN V. DAVID
NEW YORK Iff) What's the
matter with the stock market?
Brokers and market observers will
tell you without hesitation: It's wor
ried about the outlook for business.
Judging from market averages,
investor have been worrieo on this
score since early this year. For
with only occasional interruptions,
the trend has been downward.
And the slide has gathered mo-
mentum in recent weeks, sending i
hundreds of stocks tumbling to new
lows for the year, or for two or
three years in some cases. The
fact that the market advanced
Tuesday was looked on by Wall
Street observers as a normal re
action following sharp selling
waves.
Why the sudden desire to sell?
Some brokers say you can find the
answer is current industrial news.
"Look at the news we've been
getting." comments one broker.
"Steel operations are off. automo
bile plants are cutting back produc
tion, oil refineries are trimming
Conference
Room Said
Door to Peace
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
CHICAGO OB Adlal E, Steven
son urged America Tuesday night
to try once more to lead the world
toward disarmament at a time
when "hope is in the air."
But Stevenson cautioned against
arms reduction by America alone
he said" there are signs of it
and against any lowering of our
guard or weakening of ties with
our allies in this hydrogen bomb
age.
It is safety either through arms
reduction or through massive mili
tary spending and frightening
weapons, he said.
"The door to the conference
room," Stevenson said, "is . the
door to peace."
The 1952 Democratic presidential
nominee spoke under non-partisan
sponsorship to an audience in the
Civic Opera House, and by radio
and television to the nation. The
address was his much heralded
report on a six months world tour
through 26 nations.
In it. the former Illinois gover
nor presented a sort of persoal
foreig policy. Stevenson proposed:
1. Thinking along lines of a Eu
ropean system of "durable assur
ances of non aggression for Rus
sia and the world."
European Union
2. A union of European nations
as the best means to counter So
viet might and exert a positive
power for peace.
3. A flexible approach to Red
China at the Korean peace table,
with room for maneuvering and
negotiation.
4. No prodding of unwilling al
lies into alliances.
Looking back along the patch he
followed around the globe, Steven
son pictured Asia in revolution,
Europe on the upgrade, and the'
Middle East largely a power and
defense vacuum.
War Being Vim
American foreign aid programs
have succeeded, he said, and the
cold war is being won step by
step.
Some 3,000 seats in the auditor
ium were set aside for persons.
Democrats and Republicans alike,
who chipped in to pay expenses
of this event
Admiration for U.S.
Stevenson said that world condi
tions are better and hope is in the
air. He said there is admiration for
America in other countries but also
misunderstandings and concern.
"And everywhere," he said, "peo
ple think they recognize the dom
inant mood of America in what
is called 'McCarthyism', now a
worldwide word. Inquisitions, purg
es, book burning, repression . and
fear have obscured the bright vi
sion of the land of the free and the
home of the brave."
Whatever commitments we make
to European allies to back up as
surances of non-aggression must
be on a long-term basis, he ad
vised. "For there is anxiety," he set
forth in a prepared text, "lest the
shaping of our policy may be slip
ping from the respected hands of
President Eisenhower into the hand
of men less concerned with streng
thening our alliances abroad than
with appeasing our isolationists at
home."

French Plan
To Withdraw
Korea Troops
SEOUL UPi The French battal
ion of the 16-nation U. S. 8th Army
probably will leave Korea in mid
November and join French forces
in Indochina, it was learned on
good authority Wednesday.
A final decision reportedly has
not been reached because of the
possible political repercussions.
A pull-out by the French might
jeopardize a seat for France at
the projected Korean peace con
ference.
The French battalion, according
to the present plan, will be re
placed by a second Greek battal
ion scheduled to arrive in Korea
soon.
output, zinc prices are slipping, and
there are heavy inventories of farm
implements.
"There's been a lot of talk about
a coming recession," he adds.
These things make some people
think it's not far off. And so they
sell their stocks."
Where's bottom? Some analysts
think it's some distance away. But
no one suggests a return to the
1946-49 lows.
Government economists point out
that "the 1929 factors" are not
present Then there was no regu
lation of the market, and loose
margin requirements encouraged
wild speculation. At present an in
vestor must put up enough cash
to cover half the cost of the stock
he buys.
The principal causes of con
cern." says Alfred M. Perlin of
Hooker It Fay, San Francisco,
"appear to be the heavy inven
tories in the' durable goods section
of the market and the fear that
a slight letdown in business activ
ity will degenerate into a full
fledged depression.'

GI Aid
To ROK
Readied
SEOUL l) Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor authorized the 8th Army
Tuesday to help South Koreans re
build their war shattered homes,
schools and hospitals with techni
cal know-how and Army equipment
on a voluntary basis.
The 8th Army commander out
lined the aid plan, originally sug
gested by President Eisenhower, in
a broadcast to his 16 nation com
mand. He called for cooperation in an
"extensive and carefully planned
program of troop aid for Korea"
and said:
"In so doing, we are continuing
the fight against the Communist
enemy in a different but very ef
fective way."
Taylor s broadcast Tuesday made
clear what the Army has in mind.
During the fighting, Taylor said,
men and units on their own initia
tive organized and completed many
projects such as schools, churches.
orphanages and hospitals.
"This is the sort of thing which
I would like to organize and ex
tend. Taylor said.
Before outlining a number of
fields education, health, con
struction, employment and enter
tainment in which the 8th Arm
could help Koreans, Taylor said
my suggestions are only illustra
tive and will have to be adjusted
after a careful study of your local
requirements."
Motor Pool
Construction
Set to Start
The State Board of Control de
cided Tuesday to begin construc
tion immediately on the proposed
9150,000 state motor pool build
in in Salem. - . - -
The building will be completed
in about five months.
When the building is ready,
most state cars will be put into a
common pool. Under the present
system, each department has its
own cars.
Finance Director Harry Dor
man said the building would pay
for itself through less mileage on
state cars.
Other action by the board:
Salem Academy was given per
mission to rent the football field
at the State School for the Deaf
for $15 a game. .
The Boys school at Woodburn
was authorized to spend $1,000
for a concrete platform around
the hog barns.
Construction was authorized of
a $17,000 home for the chief en
gineer of the Eastern Oregon
State Hospital at Pendleton.
Flag 'Staff
Proposed
State Treasurer Sig Unander,
who thinks the state government
is getting too big, jokingly sug
gested Tuesday that the state
have an "Oregon state flag low
ering and raising commission."
He made his suggestion at a
Board of Control meeting. The
board decided which state build
ings should fly the state flag.
When Gov. Paul L. Patterson
asked how the flag could be rais
ed tnd lowered daily at state
parks where there are no caretak
ers unander suggested his pro
posed commission could do it
The commission, he said, could
run over the state in state-owned
cars to raise and lower all the
state flags each day.
Does the falling market actually
forecast a recession? It's a ques
tion on which many economists
and market analysts are divided.
One government economist cites
the decline in the market from
1946 to 1949, while a business boom
was on.
Eldon Grimm of Walston it Co.
contends the market is a good
barometer. The decline that set in
in 1946, he says, was "more in
the nature of a correction of over
speculation." "The market declares Hooper,
"is a small, puny thing in the econ
omy. It is not big enough to be
a barometer anymore. The market
reflects the passing hopes and
fears of the emotional part of the
public.
"Only a small percentage of the
huge number of shares listeoV on
the New York Stock Exchange have
been traded since this decline start
ed. It's the marginal holders who
get worried and sell and have a
tremendous effect on prices. Most
people do nothing,

State Prison convict Gerald

He claims the warden took them
away from him.
Macomber for months has been
bombarding Marion County Cir
cuit Court with petitions for a
writ of habeas corpus in an at
tempt to free himself. So far he's
had poor luck.
Macomber who does all his own
legal work lately in long hand
is serving life for assault with
intent to kill. He was sentenced
from Jackson County July 31,
1950.
He filed a motion Tuesday in
Circuit Court asking that Warden
Clarence T. Gladden, the defend
ant, show cause why his typewrit
er, law books and dictionary
shouldn't be given back.
Judge Rex Kimmel denied the
motion and pointed out the court
has no authority to tell Warden
Gladden how to handle such mat
ters. In a letter to the court Warden
Gladden said Macomber is free to
write out his motions and petit
ions in long hand and then sub
mit them to the prison education
department to be typed.
He also added that Macomber
has got his law books back. The
dictionary wasn't mentioned.

Labor Contractors Pocket Pay
Of Beet PickersvKimsey Says
A group of labor contractors in
Malheur county's sugar , beet area
has been exploiting migrant work
ers. State Labor Commissioner
W. E. Kimsey said Tuesday.
Kimsey said the group pays the
workers 80 cents an hour, but
charges the farmers $1.10 an
hour. The contractors pocket the
30 cents an hour; without giving
any service either to the farmers
or the laborers.
The migrants, who come from
Texas, Arizona and California for
the peak of the harvest in October
and November, normally are as
signed by the state employment
service.
But, Kimsey charged, the labor
contractors "hijack" labor camps
to get their own crews.

were strewn over a wide area.
The shattered plane was sighted
about mid-day by a Ketchikan flier,
Herman Ludwigsen, and positively

-We have had complaints re

"The plight of the migratory

Defeats
NEW YORK UTl Manhattan
Borough President Robert F. Wag
ner Jr. was nominated for New r
York mayor Tuesday night in a
smashing triumph for the so
called New Deal wing of the Dem- -ocratic
Party.
Wagner defeated incumbent Vin
cent R. (Impy) Impellitteri in a '
Democratic primary with many ;
national implications. It possibly'
marked the end of a comeback
attempt by former Democratic Na
tional Chairman James A Farley,
who supported Impellitteri. i j
Impellitteri conceded the nomi
nation on the basis of unofficial re ;
turns at 1:10 a.m. Wednesday. 1
At that time returns had been
counted from 2,910 of. the city's 4,
392 election districts. Wagner led
211,830 to 116,438.
Others Behind
Two other candidates ran far be .
hind in the voting. , '
One feature of the election was'
the lightness of the vote. The total .
appeared likely to run far below
the record 800,000 cast in 1937. de
spite the fact that from the stand
point of charges and counter-charges
this was the most bitter intra
party fight since 1925.
Liberals Win -
The victory for Wagner,-son of;
the author of the New Deal labor
relations law, apparently cemented :
control of the city and state Demo
cratic machinery in; the hands of
Democrats known as liberals, i
This group included such nation
ally known figures as Rep. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt Jr., Sen. Herbert
H. Lehman and Averell Harriman,
former mutual security administra
tor and a contender last year far
the presidential nomination.
In winning the nomination, Wag
ner apparently sparked a whole
sale victory for running mates for
all city-wide offices, i
When the nomination was con
ceded, his candidates were far
ahead in campaigns; for president
of the city council and comptrol
ler. ! - - r r
