WASHINGTON, D. C. UP) A blueprint for a vast new American foreign aid program, including economic help to western Europe beyond the scheduled end of the Marshall plan, was made public by the administration Sunday night. It probably will form the basis for President Truman's foreign economic recommendations to the new congress next year. The chief executive made public a global survey of economic prospects and American aid in the light of the Communist threat and the western rearmament program.

The survey calls for far-reaching developments in American policy to provide help running into billions of dollars over the next few years perhaps eight billion or more. Mr. Truman released the report prepared by a former secretary of the army, Gordon Gray, as a document deserving "the attention and study" of the American people. Administration officials said there is no doubt that its main recommendations will largely shape the President's foreign economic proposal in his State of the Union message to congress in January. This will pose squarely the issue of how long and how much the United States wants to give or lend friendly nations to help them rearm and strengthen their political and economic life against the threat of Communism.

The administration had hard sledding getting funds from the present congress to finance the third year of the Marshall plan. There is every indication that it will have a rougher time with the new congress in obtaining approval for an extension be- Woman Kidnaper Released on Bond From the star's Wir SrrvfcM SANTA FE, N. M. Dr. Nancy Campbell, 43 year-old woman doctor, was released from jail today on bond pending trial on charges of kidnaping a contractor's 9-year-old daughter.

The $25,000 bond was signed by two doctors and two other property owners: Dr. Charlotte Jones, close friend; Dr. Herbert Ellis, vice president of the Santa Fe County Medical association; STATEMENTS ON BIERMAN RESIGNATION "Mr. Republican" Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio comes back to town today amid signs that some GOP reorganization may be in order.

Taft, who classes himself as available, but not a candidate. for the party's 1952 presidential nomination, is evnerted to rnn- fer with Republican leaders during a brief stay. He also scheduled a news conference. There have been reports that Guy G. Gabrielson, GOP National chairman, would like to consolidate direction of the 1952 campaign in the hands of the national committee.

That might include relegation to a minor role, or even abolition, of the senate and house campaign committees. Taft is likely to have a great deal to say about how 1952 campaign plans are shaped, following his sweeping re-election victory. Gabrielson is expected, of course, to consult with other leaders on any plans he may have to lay before his executive committee and the national com mittee itself. Taft has suggested that senate Republicans get together informally to discuss what they are going to do in the remainder of the 81st congress scheduled to reconvene Nov. 27 and in the new congress.

Although President Truman has said he is considering calling congress back earlier, some of his Capitol Hill lieutenants said no plans for such a call have been communicated io leaders. The White House said Mr. Truman will announce his decision in a day or two. The election left senate Democrats leaderless for the new congress through the defeats Senator Lucas of Illinois, the party chieftain, and his assistant. Senator Myers of Pennsylvania.

Thus far there hasn't been any rush of candidates to fill the vacancies. Senators O'Ma-honey of Wyoming, Russell of Georgia and Anderson of New Mexico, mentioned prominently for the post, have said they don't want it. 2 Capone Aids Lose Fight on Revoked Paroles WASHINGTON, D. former members of the old Al Capone gang today lost a supreme court fight to remain out of prison on paroles granted in 1947.

Executive Sports Editor. Star and Tribuna Bernie Bierman resigned today as head football coach at the University of Minnesota. The resignation becomes effective with the close of the current season. The Gophers still have Purdue to, play here next Saturday and Wisconsin Nov. 25.

Bierman has directed football at the university since 1932, with the exception of the years he served with the marines during, the war. The announcement came at 8:15 a.m. when Ike Armstrong, athletic director, called a hurried press conference in his office in Cooke hall. Bierman reached his surprise decision Sunday night when he called Armstrong and asked for an immediate meeting. His resignation was accepted with regrets by Armstrong as well as by President J.

L. Mor--rill, who was informed of the developments over the long distance phone in Washington, D. where he is attending an educational meeting. In his usual curt way, Bierman quit with this statement: "I have requested that I 1 relieved of the football coaching duties at Minnesota at the end of the year." Bierman has been asked to remain in the University athletic department in some other capacity. There has been no discussion as yet as to what position that might be.

"I have had this move in mind a long time," Bierman elaborated at the hurriedly called press conference, "but it wasn't until last night that I reached a final conclusion. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but this is final." Bierman's resignation comes just before the end of the worst year he has had as coach. His Gophers have lost six games and tied one so far with two to be played. So ends the Minnesota regime of a man who has won more Western Conference and national championships than any other coach in the university's history. His record includes national "titles" in 1534, 1935, 193G, 1940 and 1941.

His six league championships were scored in 1934, 1935, 1937, 1938, 1940 and 1941. Armstrong announced today that no effort would be made to find a successor until the 1950 schedule is completed. Of course, names of his successor were being tossed around rather freely among the downtown quarterbacks as the surprising news spread. Heading the list is Bud Wilkinson, now head coach at the University of Oklahoma; Win Brockmeyer, successful mentor at Wausau, high school; Paul Brown, head coach of the Cleveland Browns of the National pro league; Clarence Munn, whose Michigan State team defeated Minnesota by a score of 27 to 0 Saturday, and many others. "We won't even talk about Bierman's successor until after the season," Armstrong stated just before he left the city for Hibbing, to fill a speaking engagement.

When Bierman was asked whether he had any other offers to coach football he insisted he had "nothing definite." He said that since he carr.e to Minnesota in 1932 he has had a number of invitations to go elsewhere. "I want it understood that offers or future offers had nothing to do with my resignation," he said. At the news conference, Bierman discussed the football picture at his alma mater (he graduated from the university' school of business in 1916). "Football conditions have been tough here ever since the end of the war," he said. "I won't say that the future is hopeless.

"It hasn't been easy for me to coach at Minnesota since I returned from the service and I think the time has come to let some one else sweat on this assignment." When Armstrong was asked what the status of Bierman's Bierman Continued on Page Eight SEOUL, KOREA UP) United States marines pushed cautiously 5 miles through undefended, icy hills toward the great Changjin reservoir today. While the marines advanced in the center of the front, there was dogged fighting near both coasts. Back of the front, United Nations forces drew a solid defense line across the narrow waist of Korea. The line was completed by the junction of the Third division, built up to battle strength by the addition of South Koreans and Puerto Ricans, and the South Korean Eighth division. The advancing marines, bundled like Eskimos, wound through a corkscrew gorge in subzero weather without tank support.

Marine planes flew close cover. Even that was unneeded as the leathernecks ran into only a scattered handful of Chinese Communists who were eliminated. To the west, Communists appeared to be digging in or fighting delayed actions; but on the east coast they swarmed to the attack. North Koreans guarding the approaches to the Soviet border attacked in force on the east coast today under cover of a blinding snowstorm. The Red spearhead battalion was led by tanks and self-propelled guns.

It pushed across the Orangchon river, about 90 miles from the Soviet border, threatening to outflank a South Korean regiment. Near the west coast, United States First cavalry division units advanced a mile and one-half. That carried them halfway to the walled town of Yong-byon. Patrols readied the walls, but did not enter the town. Heavy Communist resistance stopped other First cavalry troops near Won, eight miles southeast of Yongbyon.

Five miles south of Won, an estimated three regiments of Chinese Reds smashed a two mile dent in lines of the South Korean Sixth division. Allied fighter-bombers halted this drive, killing about 1,000 Reds in a blazing attack two miles south of Kunu. The South Korean Seventh division moved up to bolster the Sixth. Elements of the United States 24th' division advanced up to two miles on the extreme western end of the front, about 18 miles west of Won. Fleets of B29s ranging back of the fronts hammered again at Sinuiju and set three main supply points aflame with fire bombs.

A spokesman at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Tokyo headquarters said both bridges across the Yalu river from Manchuria to Sinuiju were believed knocked out after the attack. Report Red Parley TAIPEH, FORMOSA (INS) Chinese Nationalist intelligence sources claimed today that top advisers from Communist China, Russia and North Korea are conferring in Manchuria and have already decided on future strategy in Korea. Sunday had a high of 28 degrees, but after a relatively slight drop to 22 degrees before midnight, the mercury slid gradually upward during the early hours today as warmer weather moved in. The night, however, had produced a chill 4 above at International Falls, and 11 above at Duluth.

In Minneapolis picketing by.

division 6 members kept tele phone company employes away from their jobs in the north Minneapolis exchange housing the Hyland, Cherry, Juniper and Aldrich exchanges, Twenty- first and Bryant avenues and the building housing the Dupont, Parker and Wesley exchanges at Thirty-third street and Twenty-fourth avenue S. The Riverside exchange in St. Paul and the downtown ex change at Duluth were being picketed for the first time in the union's new strategy of hit-and-run picketing. Pickets were withdrawn from the White Bear Lake, office Saturday and from the central offices of the telephone company in the Twin Cities Friday. There were no reports of picketing in Northwestern Bell's territory, embracing Minnesota, North "Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska over the week-end and long distance service across the nation was reported "nearly normal." The strikers have been working on a system of "flash picketing" at big city exchanges.

It is designed to catch management unawares and disturb the long distance service before the company can mobilize enough clerks and supervisors to man the switchboards. There appeared to be no sign of an early break in the strike, Strike Continued on Page Eight Consumer Goods Aluminum Cut WASHINGTON, D. (U.F A 35 per cent cutback in use of aluminum for civilian consumer goods, effective Jan. 1, was ordered today by the national production authority. The cutback order limits manufacturers of consumer goods to 65 per cent of the average amount of aluminum they used during the first half of this year.

They will be allowed to use their full normal consumption during the rest of this year, giving them a month and a half to revise production schedules and find substitutes for aluminum, if possible. NPA administrator William H. Harrison said the cutback was ordered because "there is not enough of this vital metal available currently to meet in full the demands of both the defense program and the expanded civilian economy."

The district attorney's office said arraignment on the kidnaping charges, carrying a penalty of five years to death, would be in a week or two. Through Sunday night, a suicide guard stood watch in Dr. Campbell's jail cell, placed there by her attorney. Dr. Campbell dressed in men's clothes was caught red-handed Saturday night when she reached for $20,000 ransom cash and 30 hidden FBI agents and police rushed her in the darkness.

"I'm only a go-between!" they said she shouted as they hurtled into her, thinking she was a man. But in her yellow convertible only a few feet away they found her bedraggled victim blonde Linda Stamm. The little girl was groggy from a dose of sleeping medicine and chilled from exposure to the freezing temperature, but otherwise unharmed. Also in the car was $750 in travelers checks. State police said that a physician whose office is directly across from Dr.

Campbell's identified them as having been stolen last March along with "several instruments." Later, after they found two more ransom notes and a 25-caliber pistol in the woman's pockets, the FBI said she admitted luring the child away Friday from the Stamm ranch estate in the wooded outskirts of Santa Fe. Dr. Campbell, who has a four-year-old adopted son, said she needed $20,000 to pay bills and to "build an expensive house." She also said she was worried about her elderly parents, both injured in an automobile crash last month. She was formally charged with kidnaping and held under $25,000 bond. If convicted, she would face from five years in prison to death in the electric chair under New Mexico's kidnap law.

Morrill, president of the university: I have requested that I be relieved of the football coaching duties at Minnesota at the end of the vear. B. W.

BIERMAN Mr. Bierman has asked to be relieved of his football coaching duties at the end of the present year. We hope that he will remain with the University in another capacity. His great record which includes national championships will always be one of the outstanding attainments in coaching. He is nationally known and respected as one of the greatest coaches in the game.

His loyal service and devotion to Minnesota athletics cannot be repaid. Bernie Biei-man has truly made an unforgettable contribution to intercollegiate football in the state of Minnesota and to the University of Minnesota. IKE ARMSTRONG It is hard to think of Minnesota football without Mr. Bierman at the helm. He is the greatest living figure in the athletic tradition of the University.

He has won and has deserved the highest commendation and grateful respect of all who cheer the name and fame of Minnesota. The task we face in making a capable replacement is serious and a difficult assignment for Mr. Armstrong upon whom the administration and the regents must rely for a recommendation. All of us concerned will be resolved of course to maintain and improve, if possible, the long range strength and prestige of Minnesota football in the Western conference and the nation. To build from the Bierman standard is our responsibility and it will not be easy or an overnight accomplishment.

It will require the best that all of us the University, alumni, and the loyal supporters can do. J. L.

UP) The interstate commerce commission today ordered a cut of about 3.5 per cent in rail and water freight rates between a score of mid-western and Upper Midwest cities and the remainder of the western states. The cities affected are located on the western border of so-called zone one of western trunk line territory. The zone traditionally has freight rates somewhat lower than the eastern states and somewhat higher than the rest of the west so as to avoid too abrupt a change in the level of charges in the middle of the country. After general freight rate increases were granted in 1947 and 1948, many snippers complained that long-standing competitive relationships had been disturbed because the zone one western border points were included in the zone one increases, rather than the slightly lower increases applied generally in the west. The ICC's order today had the effect of moving these border cities out of zone one and into western trunk line territory proper.

So far as these points are concerned the railroads and water carriers were directed to make the 1947 increase 20 per cent instead of 22.5 per cent, and the 1948 increases eight per cent instead of nine per cent. The changes are to be effective Jan. 1, 1951. The ICC specified that the changes will not apply to grains or grain products, which take the special grain rates. Affected by the order are these zone one western border points: Duluth, and Superior, Hinckley, Cambridge, Minneapolis St.

Paul; a a and Worthington, Sioux Falls, S. How-arden, Sioux City and Council Bluffs, Iowa; St. Joseph, Atchison, Kansas City, Holden, Eldon, Laba-dic, Pacific, and St. Louis, and East St. Louis and Alton, 111.

FIRES LEFT-HANDED Shoots Switch to Free Hand From Corn Picker CHATFIELD, MINN. (JP) Lavane Narveson, 20-year-old Chatfield farm youth, whose mother said he has been "gun crazy" for years, saved his right arm and possibly his life by his accuracy with a pistol Sunday. The youth was operating a corn picker on his father's farm and was alone in the field. The fingers of his right hand became entangled in the picker. He braced himself against the frame of Temperature Eases Back to More Normal Level A lift in temperature today is expected to take the mercury above freezing and into something more like normal levels.
