Accompanying the ooVps will be its color guard which only had two weeks prior to the national contest, decided to compete, and came away with the top honors for such groups.

The Knights paraded before 23,000 persons at spacious Soldiers' Field, won $500 in prize money and two national trophies. The ovation given them for their performance was so great and so pro'onged that the group had to leave the field so that other competitors could be heard. The second-timfe champions beat out runnerup Elkhorn, by nearly 20 points. Out of a possib'e 100 points, they chalked up 82M. The judging was done by 14 professionals and was so strict that the Knights were penalized because one of them had a loose thread showing on his shirt cuff.

The platform committee, headed by House Minority Leader Hiram G. Andrews, Johnstown, is slated to meet today at Philadelphia.

The State committee will meet Saturday at Philadelphia to adopt the platform. The decision to nail a militant, national affairs plank into their platform was decided upon by Democratic platform drafters in an apparent attempt to quiet some uf the criticism of the national administration since the outbreak of the war in Korea. In other statewide campaigns, Democratic leaders were content to stand upon the national platform used in presidential election yeurs and to confine the State platform to issues affecting the Commonwealth. There were hints that the need for a national affairs plank in the state platform was thrown into sharp relief in the wake of a similar statement of principle written by Gov. James H.

Duff and inserted into the GOP platform. A strong Democratic national affairs plank wou'd have tactical value for U. S. Sen. Francis J.

These say the Bonn government will be authorized to es- tab'ish a foreign ministry and conduct directly v.ith powers although all treaties will be Kiibiert to the approval of the allied high command. The Big Three are understood to have decided already to reject Chancellor Konracl Adenauer's plea for the replacement of the occupation statute with bi-latcral agreements.

Nevertheless, the Western powers are believed to be planning to their recognition the Bonn regime as "the government most representative of the interests of 'all Germans." One of the major questions to be settled in New York in regard to West Germany is the extent of the Bonn government's responsibility for German debts and other international obligations. French sources say each of the three western powers have a different opinion. The U. S. is said to advocate the Bonn government be held responsible for international obligations for the period before, during and after the var.

The British are said to be orepar- ed to limit responsibility to postwar obligations only, while the French are said to favor limiting responsibility to during and after the war.

C. Oestrcichcr INS Foreign Director Substantial proof that France is not yet satisfied that a Germany which launched two world wars can be trusted fully was seen today in Foreign Minister Robert Schuman's flat refusal to permit rebuilding of German arms factories. The French on liis arrival in New York for a Big Three meeting and a new conference of North Atlantic defense pact ministers, was emphatic on this point.

He remained as enthusiastic as ever about his plan to pool French and Germany heavy industry. But on two points he was adamant 1. There are no arms producing factories in Germany today and there are not to be any. 2. A larger police force for Western Germany is desirable but external defense of the country is a matter for the occupying powers a- lone.

The idea of bringing German arms plants back to life has been broached on in iincrous occasions. Those who favor this plan point out that millions of Germans are row in gainful production of luxury and consumer goods, while the United States, Great Britain, France and other countries are compelled to dig deep into their resources to build up defenses from which Germany will gain much in event of aggres-ion. But while conceding this to be a fact, Schuman nevertheless believes that Germany's best contributions can be made in the field of raw materials, coal and steel. These are to be shipped outside the country, made into armaments and then returned to Germany to be used by allied forces. Quite obviously, Schuman feels that autonomous war production by the Germans would be more of a hindrance (Please Turn to Page TWO) SOLONS SPEED ACTION TO OK APPOINTMENT WASHINGTON, Sept.

Congressional leaders predicted today quick passage of a bill permitting Gen. George C. Marshall to succeed Louis Johnson as defense secretary. Scattered opposition developed against the proposal, because the unification law prohibits any military officer from being named defense secretary within 10 years of his retirement. Leaders in both House and Senate are eager to amend the act to permit Marshall to become secretary.

Plans were made to pass the legislation after Marshall late Tuesday agreed to accept the post. Chairman Tydings (D) of the Senate Armed Services Committee announced that he will introduce the measure, and that a meeting of the group would be called today to consider it. Chairman Vinson of the House Armed Services committee, his group will also consider the legislation. President Truman telephoned the former Secretary of State at his home in Lecsburg, a few minutes after he received Johnson's letter of resignation. Johnson blamed his resignation on the he had made in his 18 months as defense secretary.

Critics have held Johnson's defense economy program responsible for reverses in the Korea war. Moreover, Johnson is reported to have aroused the President's resentment by engaging in a behind-the- scenes feud with Secretary of State Acheson. Sen. Knowland (R) announced that he will fight the legislation.

BIG 3 CONTINUE DEBATE ON GERMAN ROLE IN DEFENSE NEW YORK, Sept. The Big Three foreign ministers today went into their second conference on massing a European defense against any Communist assault with fractional disagreement over the role Western Germany should play. Secretary of State Achescn, British Foreign Secretary Bevin and French Foreign Minister Schuman fell back on their experts for a meeting of minds. This agreement is anticipated. A French spokesman put it neatly by saying "there pitobably will bd general agreement on objectives with details left for further considerations." The issue is to what extent Germans should be recruited into the anticipated combined army which will mass manpower of all 12 signatories of the Atlantic defense 1 reinforcements aljrond thf United States and Canada.

Although U. S. spokesmen protest the issue is being overplayed there is no doubt that they would welcome fast absorption of "German units" into a combined and unified command.

13 U. N. security council today began a recess until Monday in a tacit move to give the Big Three foreign ministers an opportunity to iron out a common western policy on Formosa. The security council defeated Soviet delegate Jacob Malik's attempt to force immediate discussion of the American naval patrol of Formosa waters by eight to one, with two abstentions. Previously, the security council whipped a Soviet motion calling for condemnation and the halting of alleged strafings of Manchuria by American planes.

Malik cast forty-fifth veto to kill off a U. proposal which would have sent into Manchuria a U. N. investigating team composed of one representative of India and one of Sweden. It is estimated that Dy next Monday, the western foreign ministers will have formulated a common policy on procedure in U.

The division's west flank, however, was pressed back by a Red attack seven miles northwest of the fortress city. Along the southern and western portions of the front, the U.

These enemy forces were menacing the western approaches to the port of Pusan and the Pusan-Taegu supply artery.

Nevertheless, allied planes bucked the adverse weather to stage 180 sorties over the fighting sectors between midnight and 3 p.m. They destroyed or damaged at least 14 and possibly 18 Red tanks.
