WEATHER Partly Cloudy THE EMPORIA GAZETTE VOLUME LXI NUMBER 76 8 EMPORIA, KANSAS, FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 1950 European Defense Army a Reality Within 2 Months Speculation Centers On Eisenhower as Supreme Commander Of Military Force Washington (ff) combined military force for defense of western Europe may be a going concern, headed by an American as supreme commander, within the next two months. The military committee of the North Atlantic treaty organization Thursday night completed a set of recommendations to be handed to the defense ministers of the 12 treaty powers when they meet here Saturday. The blueprint prepared by the chiefs of staff composing the military committee provides: Creation of an integrated force for the collective defense of all the North Atlantic treaty area (both Europe and the western hemisphere group of Canada and the United States); ah integrated force for protection of the European area; the establishment of a supreme headquarters for the European force; the appointment of a supreme commander. There were broad hints that the nucleus of the European force, together with a supreme commander, would be functioning by January. Neither the official communique nor an American spokesman who discussed it gave any hint on two points of major interest the size of the collective force and Its components or the nationality of the supreme commander.

Nevertheless, most speculation centered on Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of Allied forces in western Europe in World War 2. Those who guessed it would be Eisenhower pointed significantly to a scheduled meeting of thc general with President Truman on Saturday. SAW A.P.

CORRESPONDENT KILLED IN KOREAN WAH Pyongyang, Korea William R. Moore, missing Associated Prcas correspondent, was killed in action the South Korean war front, while helping to save a wounded army lieutenant, a corporal who was captured In the same action said Friday. The 40-year-old former Oklahoma City newspaperman from Nowata, an army major during World War 2, failed 1 to return from a voluntary mission which took him to the Chinju front last July 31. American forces then "were making a desperate effort to. stem the Red drive on Pusan, onlyy 55 air'miles to the east.

Cpl. Carl M. Anderson, of Sioux City, said Moore had not been captured. "I saw his body lying in a pool of water," he said. "There were nine of us and some South Koreans.

Only one other man and I got out alive and we were captured." Anderson said he knew Moore and "there is no mistake about his identity." An Old Drug, Furacin, Reacts Same as ACTH May Be Inexpensive New Remedy Against Arthritis; Start Tests Boston (AP) Discovery that an. inexpensive drug that seems to act like the wonder hormone ACTH was announced Friday to the American College of Surgeons. The drug, an old one named Furacin, may become a plentiful new medicine against arthritis, rheumatic fever and perhaps some kinds of cancer. Tests on humans are just starting. Furacin is derived from Furfural, a byproduct In million flour and soybeans.

Tiie new discovery is that Fura- cin apparently prods the adrenal glands to produce Curtisone. This prodding is what ACTH does.

TEN PAGES Single Cents Resistance By Reds Is Stiffening Allies Launch Big Push at Reports Of Participation by Chinese Continue Seoul, Korea American and Allied forces began a big push in northwest Korea today against suddenly stiffened Red opposition as reports grew of Chinese Communist participation on the battlefields. At the same time a Korean Republican spearhead which had raced to the Yalu river boundary facing Red China's Manchuria on Thursday was forced to pull back because of supply problems. U. S.

8th army headquarters in confirming the pullback emphasized that it was not because of enemy resistance. Simultaneously, winter bursl upon the war fronts with snow and icy blasts, and bypassed North Koreans in rear areas made widespread nuisance raids. Increasing accounts of thousands of Chinese Communist troops fighting against the United Nations were given careful study by American officers. At first discounting the reports, then skeptical, at least, some American officers came around to grudging credibility.

Armed Services Reduce Fast Pace Of Mobilization Military Machine is Finding Less Need for Reserves; Power Is Growing Washington WP) Secretary of Defense Marshall moved today to develop long-range plans for maintaining a strong reserve force with "a minimum interruption to the nation and the individual's normal existence." To that end, he appointed an eight-man study committee made up of regular and reserve officers and civilians. Announcement of the study plans coincided with a number of Indications that the armed forces may be easing off the fast mobilization pace they set following the Communist invasion of South Korea. There were no signs of only change in this nation's announced intent to build a powerful military machine of defense against Communist pressure but there were Indications that for the time being the permanent mobilization base is nearlng completion. Developments pointing In that direction included: 1. Secretary Pace said Thursday that the army hopes to start releasing mobilized national guardsmen and reservists next summer in a program which may be completed before early 1952.

2. The air force announced it halt immediately the call-up of enlisted reserves. 3. The navy said It needs no more naval reserve airmen, and that its need for reserve aviation ground officers has been "substantially" met for the Immediate future. 4.

Meat Shortage In Making for U.S. Next Year Sharp Step-Up In Production Needed, Economist Warns; Prices Will Increase Washington A meat industry economist cautioned today that the country faces a shortage of meat and skyrocketing prices next year unless the government takes steps soon to encourage greater output.

Carl H. Wilken, economist with, the raw materials national council, said a study he just for the National Independent Meat Packers association indicates consumers will demand an average of between 155 and 160 sounds meat in 1951. This Is at leust eight more than the agriculture department expects farmers to next year, unless special incentives are set up to encourage greater production. Government spending under tho defense program, the economist boost consumer buying power. to art extent that the public' have two billion dollnrs more to spend for food next yenr than this.

Unless there is a sharp step-up in meat production, he said, the movement of this extra money into the meat markets can only result in very high prices which probably would lead to the Imposition of price controls.
