New York, Oct. 28 VP) The
waterfront of the nation's larg
est port, strike-bound (or 28
days, began the transition back
to normal today as AFL pickets
were withdrawn and notice was
given to union members that
work could begin on 410 vessels
bottled up in the harbor.
Capt. A. E. Oliver, co-chairman
of the negotiating commit
tee of the AFL Masters, Mates
and Pilots association, said pic-
knle haA hnon withdrawn nnH
that about 300 masters already
had been cleared to report back
to their ships.
v Oliver also said members of
the CIO Marine Engineers Bene
ficial association and members
of the AFL International Long
shorement's association had been
told they could report for work.
These two unions had been hon
oring MMP picket lines.
Returns Untabulatcd
A vote on the agreement which
the MMP signed on Saturday
with east and gulf coast opera
tnps was taken in 12 Atlantip
and Gulf ports.
Oliver said returns were not
yet available because copies of
the agreement had not yet been
received at Norfolk, Va., and
Charleston, S. C. He added that a
report on the voting had not yet
been received from Jacksonville,
Fla.
"The vote was prepondcrent
ly in favor of accepting the
agreement," Oliver said. "It
avergade 10 to one in New York
and scne to one in most of the
other east and Gulf coast ports.
He said the count was close
in New Orleans.
The Masters who are return
ing to their ships will be fol
lowed by men who have signed
for voyalges and then by the
general memlbership.
Balloting Possible
Oliver made his announce
mcnt on withdrawal of pickets
before balloting on approval of
the agreement with operations
had been completed by union
members in 12 east and gulf
coast ports.
The trend of the balloting,
Oliver said, indicated a favor
able outcome and warranted the
end of picket lines.
"Our main interest is to get
... the snips going," Oliver assert
d.
i He said picketing would con.
tinue on ships of west coast OP'
erators who have not yet reach
ed an agreement with the union.
More than 400 vessels are
tied up in the port of New York
by the strike. A total of 1,181
ships are strigc-bound in east
and gulf coast ports. Some of
these are expected to sail to
morrow. (Concluded on Taut 1.1, Column 7)
2 Unions Deny
Slush Funds
Washington, Oct. 28 VP) Of-
ficerc of two big AFL unions
told the house campaign expen
ditures committee today they
have spent no money and don't
propose to spend any in this
year s elections.
John F. English of Indianap
olis, secretary-treasurer of the
International Teamsters' union,
and Harry J. Steeper of Tea-
neck, N.J., first assistant to the
president of the American Fed
eration of Musicians, were the
witnesses.
;v Neither union, they testified,
has spent or raised any money
for political purposes, nor plans
to do so, although both are op
posed to some congressional
candidates.
t Joseph A. Padway, AFL coun
sel, told the committee he had
advised the unions not to an
swer the questions because they
violated the right of individuals
or groups to have freedom in
voting for whom they chose.
He said the unions do not ob
ject to telling what they al
ready have done.

Nazi Terrorists
Bomb Office
Of U.S. Control
Frankfurt, Oct. 28 VP) The
American military government
announced today that terrorists,
striking for the second time in
eight days, exploded a bomb
on a windowsill of the denazifi
cation board office at Esslingen
last night.
By noon today 10 persons
had been taken into custody for
questioning, including one per
son who was said to have been
seen running away from the
building a few minutes after the
explosion.
Security troops cordoned off
the area and bloodhounds were
called into action in an attempt
to lead the investigators to the
terrorists.
No One Injured
Last night's bombing dam
aged only the outside of the
building at Esslingen, the an
nouncement said, No one was
hurt. The bomb was believed to
be of the same type as was used
in the Stuttgart explosions.
The explosion occurred at
8:28 p.m. (2:28 p.m. EST), just
after an American patrol had
passed the building near the cen
ter of town.
Army agents said they believ
ed the bomb was planted by the
same man or group responsible
for the previous triple bombing
in and near Stuttgart, which is
only six miles northwest of Ess
lingen. Came by Boat
Army security officers said
that the building stands in front
of a canal and that footprints
were discovered leading from
the canal to the' building, but
that these had been partially
destroyed by troops who rushed
to the scene.
The officers speculated that
the perpetrators of the explo
sion approached the denazifica
tion building by boat.
The explosion, though it was
heard over the entire town,
caused no excitement or unrest
among the civilian population,
the officers said.
Showdown in

Washington, Oct. 28 VP)
President Truman called a 4

lation he is ready to announce
appointment of an atomic en
ergy control commission.
Washington, Oct. 28 VP) The
pre-election coal crisis headed
into the showdown stage today
between John L. Lewis and the
Truman administration.
While Lewis himself appeared
to be on something of a spot with
his implied threat of a walkout
by his 400,000 soft coal miners
Friday, the immediate pressure
was on the White House.
The big decision that has to
be made there is whether (1)
to give in again as the govern
ment did when Secretary of In
terior J. A. Krug signed a con
tract with Lewis last spring to
end that 59-day strike or (2)
to let the miners quit work four
days before the elections and

quences there might be.

Chinese Launch
2 Pronged Drive
Against Dairen
Peiping, Oct. 28 Wily
Gen. Tu Li-Ming scored one of
the biggest surprises of the civil
war today by launching a two
pronged offensive by Chinese
government troops against
Dairen, the chief port of Man
churia, in a move to control
the entire south Manchurian
coast and cut off the Chinese
communists from support by
sea.
The communists and everyone
else expected General Tu to re
sume his northward advance to
ward Harbin in central Man
curia. But instead he sent two
armies southward down the Li
aotung peninsula from Anshan
and Antung to catch the enemy
napping Icy weather in the
north may have dictated the
change of strategy.
90 Miles to Go
Both prongs were approxi
mately 90 miles from Dairen,
the big seaport 30 miles from
the Russian naval base of Port
Arthur.
Capture of Dairen probably
would pose international com
plications. Travelers from that
area have reported the city full
of soviet troops, and there was
a question whether in that case
nationalist troops would be wel
come.
There was no indication here
how many Chinese communist
troops were occupying the city.
Entry of the generalissimo's
forces into Dairen could well
bring about another tense occu
pation situation such as exist
ed early this year at Mukden,
where both soviet and Chinese
government authoritie- sought
to run the city.
Supply Route Cut
The nationalists severed the
communists' overland supply
route between North China and
Manchuria in their vigorous
North China offensive which
culminated in the capture of
Kalgan. Now General Tu's
troops, in concert with a gov
ernment attack on Chefoo, at
the tip of the Shantung penin
sula in North China, threatened
to sever the reds' sea route.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shck and Madame Chiang,
meantime, returned from a visit
to Formosa and presumably will
sit in immediately on the reop
ened peace talks with General
Marshall and communist lead
ers. More Jewelry

Two Silverfon
Men Drown
Silverton, Ore, Oct. 28 Two
Silverton men, Paul Plank and
Otto Lais, drowned Saturday
while fishing at Yv'jds, a resort
near Pacific City. Plank's body
was recovered and is at the
Ekman mortuary here but
searchers had not found the
body of Lais Monday morning.
A third member of the fishing
party, James Bandccn, Portland,
was treated for shock at a Til
lamook hospital. .
Bandeen, who was here Sun
day, said the three had left for
the coast early Saturday morn
ing, intending to return Sunday
evening. While on the river a
sudden squall hit their boat and
when it struck either a snag
or rock, capsized, tossing Lais
into the water where he imme
diately disappeared.
Bandeen, knowing that Plank
was a very poor swimmer, called
to him to cling to the boat
while he attempted to swim to
shore, heavily weighted with his
fishing clothing. He said he
looked back once but Plank had
disappeared. It was with great
difficulty that he was able to
reach the shore.
Plank is survived by his wid
ow,, the former Doris Kramer,
and three children, all under
four years of age, Pauletlc, Di
anne and David. Lais is survived
by his wife, Marian Lais, and
two small daughters. Funeral

Truman Replies
To Arr;-
Proles
iuwv.'i
Washington, Oct. 28 liP)
President Truman has sent a
message to King Ibn Sand of
Saudi Arabia reiterating his be
lief that steps should be taken
to insure the immediate substan-1
tial immigration of refugee
Jews into Palestine.
He told the Arab leader that
he could not agree with the
latter's statement that there
was inconsistency in the Am
erican position.
Replying to a letter received
from Ibn Saud October 15, the
president wrote:
'"With regard to the possibility
envisioned by your majesty
that force and violence may be
used by Jews in aggressive
schemes against the neighbor
ing Arab countries, I can assure
you that this government stands
opposed to aggression of any
kind or to the employment of
terrorism for political purpos
es. I may add, moreover, that
I am convinced that respon
sible Jewish leaders do not con
template a policy of aggres
sion against Ihe Arab coun
tries adjacent to Palestine."
The president said he still
adhered to the belief, "widely
shared by the people of this
country," that nothing would
contribute more effectively to
the allcvatiou of the plight of
homeless Jews "than the au
thorization of the immediate
entry of at least 100,000 of
them to Palestine."
In a letter released by the
While House today he remind
ed the Arab leader that no de
cision has been made on this
proposal which he submitted
originally to Prime Minister
Attlcc of Great Britain more
than a year ago.
In the interim, he said, "it is
only natural" that this govern
ment should favor "at this time
the entry into Palestine of con
siderable numbers of displaced
Jews in Europe."
The president reiterated a
previous view that a concerted
efforts should be made "to
open the gates of other lands,
including the United States, to
those unfortunate persons."

Census Bureau
Of Vets Housing Needs in Area
Designed to ascertain housing needs and housing plans for
veterans in the Salem, Corvallis and Albany area, a survey is
to be made here during the next two weeks by the Department
of Commerce, Bureau of Cen
sus.
The survey, being made at
the request of the National
Housing agency, is under the di
rection of Wilbcrt G. Blunchard,
who has brought two members
of his staff in his La Grande,
Ore., office with him and ex
pects to use from 17 to 23 local
persons on his staff. Headquar
ters for Blanchard while he is
here will be at the Chamber of
Commerce.
Slated to start Tuesday, the
survey is designed to determine
what the present housing con
ditions of veterans here are
what they would like to do about
their housing and the housing
plans that have been made here
in addition to locating the
number of vacancies in the city
and the types of places that
are vacant. Information will
also be taken on the types of
units occupied and the condi
tions under which families of
veterans are living.

There were these other develop
ments:
1. Chief Delegate Warren

make a United States policy
speech to the assembly prob
ably tomorrow or Wednesday. It
will deal almost exclusively with
the veto issue, according to
America!- informants.
Anglo-Egyptian Issue
2. Considerable interest was
stirred here by conflicting re
ports from Cairo and London on
an Egyptian suggestion of an
approaching settlement between
Egypt and Britain on their long
dispute over British troops in
Egypt and over control of the
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Mo
hamod Hussein Hcykal Pasha,
speaking for Egypt before the
assembly, called for UN guar
antees against big-power domi
nation of the countries of the
Middle East.
3. Ambassador V. K. Welling
ton Koo of China declared the
big power veto in the security
council should be used sparing
ly but he lined up with the
United States, Britain and Rus
sia in opposing any rewriting
of the UN Charter at this time.
New Zealand Assails Veto
4. Sir Carl Bcrcndsen, New
Zealand ambassador to Washing
ton, assailed the veto, said he
hoped for early modification and
declared: "Let the security coun
cil sec to it that all care is taken
lest by futility it shall bring it
self into disrepute" and lose
world confidence.
Bcrcndsen also told the assem
bly that New Zealand had
turned in today a proposed trus
teeship agreement for its man
dated territories. It holds a
mandate over western Samoa
and shares with Britain and Aus
tralia the mandatory control of
Nauru.
Need of Police Force
Bcrcndsen spoke at length of
the need for a "lawful force"
under the United Nations to con
quer any "lawless force" that
might arise. The peace of the
world cannot be preserved by
words alone, he said at the same
time he warned against "ap
peasement" which would "lead
to war."
Masaryk did not specifically
mention the recent cancellation
by the United States of a $40,
