After listening, to bnrrngn of protests primarily from business men not gcnernuy classed ns "peddlers," the commtssimi finally agreed to maV.o decision Thursday whether to rescind Hie ordinance passed August 21 and sched- xiled to become effective September 3. Thursday's session will not be open to the public.

The continued "unofficial" session of the commission following the zoning henrlng Tuesday, 1 niraln Illustrated the commission's policy of reviewing grievances was marked by candiel repressions of opinion, particularly by Mayor J. Manuel Hughes und Commissioner Fred Clopstfm who on August 21 passed the 5o-cnllorl "Orean ordinance. Commissioner Leo Mnr- was not present nt that Ep.rly In the hearing, Mnyor Hughes said lie wnnteci It clearly understood that he and Mr. Clng- ston alone were responsible for passnRp of the ordinance at Issue and that it, was not Initiated by City MnnnRer Wnltor Johnson. "The manager had nothing to do with It," Mnyor Hughe.s Kp.icl.

"In fnct, Mr. Johnson ndvlscrl that we'd prob.ibly be in for a lot of criticism If we pn.sirrl it." Here's the major srH.lon of tha ordinance, which chhatrd the furor and has initiated more discussion among business men and civic groups the past few days than any other topic: "Section The practice of going; in anil upon private residences In the City of Emporla, Kansas, hy solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, Itinerant merchants or transient vendors of merclinnrtisc, having not iicen requested or invited by the nwncr or owners, occupant or occupants of said private residences for the purpose of soliciting 'order? Tor the. snle of goods, and merchandise and-or disposing of nnd-or peddling or li.tuk- the same is declared to be a nuisance and punishable as such nuisance as a misdemeanor." At the outset of the hearing Mayor Hushes It was not the Intent of the commission to Insist on stringent to-thc-letter enforcement prohibiting house-to- house cnnvrissing by established direct salesmen, retail and business establishmnnls or Insurance agencies. Mr. Hughe.s explained the ordinance was passed to provide a valid medium for handling the complaints on the more persistent bell ringers mid sometimes offensive Itinerant peddlers of many sorts of merchandise and services.

"We thought the ordinance, which has stood tests elsewhere, would be sort ol nn 'ncc in the hole' to handle the more tricky and obnoxious type of peddlers and would protect householders and established business people alike," Mayor Hughes said. In this, Commissioner Clogston generally ocncurred with embellishments, adding that in the last few days many business men had told him they thought the ordinance wns a good thing. Mr. Clogs ton also emphasized that nil the discussion on the ordinance was good that It focused attention on the "peddler problem" and possible applications of the ordinance. He, lou, Insisted the commission had no desire to embarrass local business.

Commissioner MarkowiU had little to say 'ni the "unofficial" session otijer Uian to raise the 'quwtioa whether the peddling nuisance when it occurs could not be reduced by a tougher licensing On tills point City Manager Johnson cited that most peddlers were in interstate commerce and thnt licensing in such cnscs rmd been held unconstitutional. Practically no new arguments ngnlnst the ordinance were presented at the hearing other trmn those reviewed in previous meetings. However, Spencer BalU, of the New Process Laundry, and Dry Cleaning said Emporia's passage of such nn ordinance would be nn invitation for neighboring towns to rio the same and asserted that the "restrnint of trade" would probnbly be applicable to business solicitors for the Emporia company. A number of business men, Including George Brinklcy, insurance mnn representing the Emporin Underwriters, said that even if they weren't arrested they clidn't like the idfn of nil ordinance' making Iheir uninvited home calls illegal, others also expressed doubt that the ordinance could be enforced against transient salesman nnd not ngent. without raising a fight over discrimination.

Russell Seacat. vice president of ihe Chamber of Commerce, said the ordinance' had not been or recommended by the retailers' committee. Pear nlso was expressed 'that the ordinance mlpht result in chnrces Ijv bnii-tcinpercrl householders and f.hnt "spile" charges might be by outside interests. Mayor snid in that, cnse he would be willing to back up. admit he wns wrong, nnd vote to rescind the ordinance Mr.

Clogston indicated he wns then nncl there renciy Tuesday to change his stand, but Manager Johnson ndvlserl no formal action in connection with the adjourned zoning session. That led to scheduling Thursday's closed session. executive Will Not Call Off The Copper Strike Washington (AP) The mine, mill and smelter workers union Wednesday told the wage stabilization board it could not call off the nationwide copper strike under the present situation.

Ted Mend, the principal petitioner, proposes to build a drlve-In. type soft drink and food Establishment. Commissioner Leo Markowitz cast the vote, breaking the deadlock between Mayor J. Manuel Hughes, opposed to the zoning change and Commissioner Frerj B. Clagston, favoring it, both maintaining their stands taken nt a previous session at which Commissioner Markowitz was absent.

The zoning h.earlg was attended by a fnlr-iizeci group of residential protesters from', the neighborhood, who vigorously contended rezonlng the tract for the business Intended would devaluate their property and result in increased noise, litter to thoir promises nnd make street crossing unsafe for their children. Opposition to re-zoning was supporter! by Mayor Hughes who cited the state purpose of zone laws wn-s to maintain valuations of property, to r-tihancc values of specific tracts. He nlso expressed fenr that rcx.oning notion might "open the gate" and start clamor for "spot zoning" which might result in a break-down of the zoning ordinance nnd city planning. Attorney Klvln D.

Road Grants Congress Is Told Repair Job Is Too Great for State, Counties Washington Kansas appealed to congress today to provide more money to rebuild flood-damaged mid- western highways without the usual requirement, that states put up the same amount. Sen. ochoeppel (R-Kas) and Gale Moss, Kansas highway director, testified before a senate pubUc works subcommittee 'la behalf of legislation to increase from $4 million to 515.million the federal emergency relief money for repair of roads and bridges damaged in disasters.

Sen. Carlson (R-Kas) and Gov. Edward P. Am of Kansas, filed statements In support of the bill. Thomas H.

MacDcmald, chitjl of the federal bureau of roads, told the committee he does not favor extension of federal aid highway relief funds to states "on a more liberal basis" than the 50-50 matching now required. Moss testified he agreed with MacDonald that full grafts in aid would not be advisable as a general highway policy. But In this disaster, he contended, an exception should be made. He proposed expanding: the bill to take in more local roads. He also wants authorization for ICO percent federal aid grants, to take care of Repairs on nonfederal aid county and township roads In some cases.

Without this help, he said, Kansas cnnnot rebuild all of Its necessary roads and bridges lor several years to come. nskcd the, committee to authorize grants wluiout necessity of matching 'In emergency casns where counties and town- snips cannot provide money. Sen. Ken- (D-Okla) filed with the committee a letter from the Oklahoma highway commission listing flood damages In that- state at Sl.001,800. Neither the governor rtor'-Carl- son could attend the hearing on this proposal, under which states would have to match any funds provided by the federal government.

But Art) in his testimony he believed the measure "should be broadened to permit one hundred percent crants-in-aid to the midwest flood area." The governor also suggested that federal aid also should be provided for county and township road and bridge facilities nol a part of the federal aid system. Senator Carlson agreed with the governor. Carlson said: "Our losses have been so great that I would urge that the committee give consideration to making available to our state and other governmental units of the state funds based on one hundred percent grants. "Such provision, to be completely equitable, should apply to all bridges and'highways. If this is not done, we have many counties and townships that, even though they levy the legal full limit, plus 25 percent which is authorized by our state statutes, they will not be able to repair many of these bridges 'or many years." Gale Moss, Kansas state highway director, said Kansas needs millions of dollars to rebuild its destroyed roads and bridges.

He was particularly Interested in obtaining equal consideration for tbe county and township roads not a part of Hie federal system. He estimated damage to these roads and bridges at 58 million. He told reporters the people In the counties and townships have no way of raising funds for rebuilding these ronds except through tax levies and bond issues. Only a few days ago President Truman commented In a letter to Mayor Stanley I. Dale of St.

Joseph, Mo. that the state governments of Missouri and Kansas had done "absolutely nothing" toward rehabilitation of flood damaged areas. Gov. Arn disagreed with this. Ke said he had written Mr.

Trumnn telling what Kansas had done. He noted nlso that the legislature was not then session and said the federal government had not asked that Its emergency relief funds be matched.

Calls Foreign Aid Bill Cuts Dangerous Re-arming West Must Not Be Delayed, He Tells Senate in Debate Washington (AP) Sen.

Connally (D-Tex) warned Wednesday it would be "a dangerous gamble" to ease up now in efforts to strengthen the west. He told the -senate that if the united States and European allies put their "shoulders to the wheel and push ahead with this program, we can complete it within a relative short period say, three years or so and then relax our efforts somewhat." "If we try to stretch it out," he added, "we are taking a dangerous gamble and one that I am not willing to assume the responsibility for." Connally, chairman of the foreign relations committee, led off debate on the $7,535,000,000 forelgr. aid bill. His remarks obviously were directed against some senators who have urged further cuts in the bill. He spake after Sen.

"It is designed to implement the fundamental policy which the senate had already approved by over-whelming votes on ntunerous occasions. policy to which I refer Is that of strengthening the United States through strengthening our allies. It is the policy that nizes that the United States cannot stand in a hostile.world.

It is the policy that seeks to promote world peace through helping the free nations of the world make themselves so strong that no aggressor will dare to attack them. It Is.the policy that seeks to avoid war by being prepared to win It if war should come. "That Is the only way I know of whereby war can be avoided." Moody, former newspaperman who recently made a frying 7-d trip to Europe, said "It Is no secret that we are not ready to wage full scale land and air war In Europe."

M. Checks Up Truce Talks To the Reds Ridgway's Message Leaves Enemy No Alternative But to Back Down or Quit Tokyo Matthew B. Ridgway put it squarely up to -the today to decide the fate of Korean war truce The United Nations commander curtly refused to reinvesiigate the alleged Kaesong bombing Incident. But he said the Allies would resume armistice negotiations whenever the Reds are ready to end their "unjustifiable delay" of the conference. The general view here was that Ridgway's 116-word message to the top Communist commanders left them almost 110 alternatives but to back down or break off the disrupted conference completely.

Ridgway did not even mention the Communist demand that he admit a UN plane bombed the truce site. He has called the whole incident a fraud. His message to the North Korean premier, Kim Sung, and Chinese Gen. Peng Teh-Huai dealt only with their request that he send his liaison officers back to Kaesong to look at new evidence. "A after this lapse of time," Ridgway said, "could serve no purpose other than to continue this unjustifiable delay in the armistice negotiations." Meanwhile, Communist troops built up their strength along the front despite clearing weather which exposed them to Allied air and artillery attack.

Farm liKomi to Approach Rtcord, U. S. Prediction Five Percent Hike In Land Values Has Also Taken Place In Last Few Months Washington farm income this year may be almost as much as 1947's all-tuna of billion, the agriculture department said today. Furrier, American farm values increased a record flye per.

cent during the four-month period ending July 1, ami may remain at the present levels the rest'of year in most areas, particularly where livestock is raised. "The department said land values, including Improvements, were 17 percent greater than on July 1, 1950. The four-month increase was the largest since the department started making' such estimates in 1842.

On the other ment said: "With- defense, expenditures 'and c.brisumer incomes likely to expand further, the demand for.farm products Is expected to at' high levels.
