Chief of Police J. H.

Jennings announced yesterday. cf rflet wHll Via nloororl tnm consultations among the major countries next Monday, France asked the political committee to suspend the debate that has brought the special voting right under continuous barrage from the small nations. British sources said the Monday meeting would go on regardless of the disposition of the French proposal and declared assurances to attend had been received from all principals. POWERS LINED UP French Delegate Alexandre Parodi lined up with the other big powers in opposing any revision of the charter but called for improvement of the procedure of voting in the Security Council. Now all of the five major powers except Russia have taken the position that the council itself should limit the use of the veto to rare and exceptional cases.

The Soviet Union has not indicated its willingness to approve even modifications and clarifications, but Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov's acceptance of an invitation to confer raised hopes that an eventual agreement might be reached to satisfy all the 51 nations. V. K.

Wellington Koo of China warned that any hasty attempt to revise the charter "might undermine the very foundations of our organization." Koo specificallv called for the Security Council to study its rules in the light of the vigorous objections by small nations In the assembly and for the big five to meet and clarify their definition of questions which should or should not be subject to veto. TWO SUGGESTIONS Parodi advanced two suggestions for the Big Five to consider: 1. That the Security Council make greater use of sub-commissions and rapporteurs to reduce voting to a 2. That a rule be adopted to make the use of the veto optional insieaa oi automatic. The big nations spoke In the committee after Brig.

Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, Philippines delegate, bitterly assailed Russia's frequent use of the veto and said that the council was now operating under a "one-nation, one-vote rule." Romulo did not limit his attack to Russia, declaring: "While the Soviet union has used the veto most, we know that all of the big five want it and would not hesitate to use it." Up To Consumer Now Thompson WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U.R) Chairman Roy L. Thompson of 'the price decontrol board, happy that the board's job is about finished, asserted tonight that it is now up to consumers to control prices.

He suggested two ways for the public to guard against inflationary pressures: 1. Watch prices carefully and buy judiciously. Consumer resistance to skyrocketing meat prices has in a lew weeks' time, he said, brought down and stabilized meat and livestock prices. 2. Buy U.

savings bonds. All Americans should participate In the latest treasury bond drive because putting money into savings reduces inflationary pressures in a scarce market. Partisans Flee To Yugoslavia SALONIKA, Nov. 16 OP) A Third army intelligence officer said remnants of a partisan force of 1,000 which attacked Skra were fleeing toward the Yugoslav border today to join their comrades who escaped into that country after a bloody attack on the mountain village only six miles from the frontier. However military authorities gave a picture of widespread confusion and disorder prevailing In the area north of the great port city of Salonika.

They halted all road traffic in the area, and refused to permit correspondents to move north of Salonika "because of the extreme danger." MEMORIAL STADIUM, CLEMSON, Nov. 16. Clemson's ailing Tigers, beset with a series of injuries and other misfortunes this season, fielded a makeshift lineup today and showed a semblance of old-time fury and finesse to defeat Furman's Purple Hurricane, 20 to 6, before a crowd of 18,000 spectators on Homecoming Day Challenge; Walkout Is Threatened IGNORES APPEAL WASHINGTON. Nov. 16, A drastic government order roz the nation's meager soft coal supplies and placed them under rationing today as John L.

Lewii stonily stood pat on the cha lenge which threatens a strikt at midnight Wednesday. Going far beyond the freeze order issued at the time of the bitu minous strike last spring, the government seized control not only of future coal production but also of all stocks now in transit and in dealers' yards. It will be doled out only to utilities, railroads, ships, hospitals, laundries, food plants and householders having less than ten days' supply on hand. ESSENTIAL PRECAUTION "Issuance of these orders is an essential precaution in view of the unwillingness of the president of the United Mine Workers to acceda with the President's request to reconsider the government's proposal looking toward a settlement of the coal Secretary of tha Interior Krug told the worried pub lic in a statement. As the government thus prepared for the worst, Lewis ignored the administration's second appeal for a 60-day truce and its pointed warning that he has no legal grounds for terminating the miners' present contract.

Members of the operators' negotiating committee, who had agreed to the administration proposal for negotiations with Lewis over his new wage demands, took Lewis' refusal at its face and scattered to their homes. And the impasse continued without signs of a break. A high government official reported privately that the administration has not decided what further steps to take. Charles G. Ross, White House press secretary, accompanying Mr.

Truman to the Navy-Penn State football game at Anapolis, told reporters that "there have been absolutely no developments overnight THREE ORDERS The freeze of the coal supplies, effective as of noon today, was in three orders. One covered coal in transit and that which may be produced hereafter, estimated to come to 8.500.OO0 tons by midnight Wednesday with normal production. Another covered all coal in shipment on the Great Lakes or other waterways, including tidewater shipments not affected by earlier freeze orders. The third covered all coal in retail yards. None of this coal may be distributed to consumers from now on except upon permission of the Solid Fuels administration.

This agency authorized its area and regional representatives to Issue special coal supplies sparingly "If such action is necessary to safeguard the health or safety of the community." Stocks now on hand are estimated to amount to a 37-day supply under normal consumption, compared to a 42-day supply on hand at the time of the strike last spring. The freeze covers only soft coal. Anthracite may be distributed normally. Freeze orders In the past have come only a few hours before or after a strike was to occur. The effect of today's order is to segregate all production today and next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

This is the fourth time the government has stepped in to take over the existing coal supply when faced with a mine stoppage. Similar orders were issued in 1943, 1945 and last spring. MINERS FEAR LOSSES Reports from the bituminous coal fields in Pennsylvania indicated that some miners fear the prospect of pay losses during a walk-out with the Christmas season approaching. In this connection, the Solid Fuels Administration reported that more miners than usual on a Saturday seemed to be working today and said mis may mean they are trying to make as much money as possible before midnight Wednesday. That is the hour Lewis has fixed for "termination" of his contract with the government.

Krug and At torney General Clark hold that the contract cannot be terminated bv Lewis and that the miners are lesally bound to continue work. Krug, some officials said, is con sidering going over Lewis' head and appealing by radio to the miners, telling them their contract is bind ing and asking them to remain at work. Krug has been running the mines for the government since the White' House ordered their seizure six months ago to end a 59-dar strike. These officials spoke too of possible legal action against Lewis to enlorce the contract although it was recognized there is no police power to keep more than 400.000 men working if they decline to do so.

Nov. 16. 0P The council of Foreign Ministers made progress today towrrd reaching a olLtlon on, the thorny issue of control of Trieste, but ran into a new snag on the problem of a deadline for removal of occupation troops. A three- hour session ended with a decision to turn over to deputy Foreign Minister Couve De Mur-ville of France the problem of drafting an agreement on the issue of who should control Trieste police a point which Secretary of State James F. Byrnes has termed essential to a solution on administration of the ancient Adriatic port, and to the prestige of the United Nations.

Persons present at today's deliberations viewed the developments with guarded optimism. However, they cautioned that a decision would depend upon the exact wording of the question of police control. Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of Russia once again raised the lssue of a deadline for departure of occupation troops from Trieste.

This, in itself, may prove an Issue which will deadlock the council on a decision. Molotov apparently In a conciliatory mood, agreed to the supreme powers for the governor of Trieste, departing from his demand for a sharp reduction in power for the governor who would operate under the guidance of the United Na Uons Security Council. 'Removal Of Plants Urged WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 Reparations Commissioner Edwin W. Pauley tonight urged President Truman to authorize complete removal from Japan of all war industries, rubbe-j 'minum and magnesium plants ai.a ir permit "substantial removals" from eleven other categories of Japan's economy.

Pauley made these recommendations to the President in a comprehensive report on reparations based on a firsthand study in the Far East. Following what he called "a principle of severity combined with fairness," Pauley asked the President to allow the Japanese to keep 18 industries, and for the allies to determine later what to do about textile machinery, synthetic fibres, cotton, paper and pulp, a Pauley suggested speed in making Initial removals because of "the rapid deterioration of a great deal of material in Japan, owing to exposure to the elements and to packing difficulties." The Industries Pauley listed as subject to "substantial removals" were electric power, iron and steel, iron ore and ferro-alloy minerals, copper, machine tools, chemicals, heavy electical machinery. Industrial explosives, communications and communications equipment, railroad equipment and rolling stock, shipbuilding and merchant shipping. Under his recommendations, Japan would be denied all factories turning out arms, ammunition and implements of war, which presumably includes the aviation plants. Since Pauley's report was studied first by the state-war-navy department coordinating committee it presumably will form the basis of American policy in discussing reparations with trie other allies.

STUDENT LEGISLATURE CHAPEL HILL, N. Nov. The 1946 session of the North Carolina student legislature will be he'd In the ranitnl in DoUWh r- tember 6-7, it was announced today. wnuru urreiivme. For the first nine months of thin year, the figures were: Charleston, $439,744,000, for 19 per cent increase over the like period of the preceding year; Columbia, $627,989,000.

for 32 per cent Increase; Oreenvllle. $497,425,000. for 37 per cent increase; Spartanburg, $293,054,000, for 37 per cent increase also nere. The colorful throng, which nearly filled the beautiful concrete stadium, saw Coach Frank Howard's team employ Dewey Quinn on quick, powerful off-tackle smashes and combine passes from Hal Leonard ana Dick Hendley to Chip Clark and Billy Poe to rack up three touchdowns and enlarge the 7-6 lead at halftime. The Tigers possibly missed three more tallies by a fumble, an interception and an offside penalty that found the victors holding the ball a yard from goal as the game ended.

WHAM RUNS 85 YARDS Furman's lone score came with dramatic suddenness in the final moment of the first half when Tom Wham, a Greenville bov claying end, intercepted Hendley's pass and, in a clear nem, ran 85 yards to cross goal with a man in pursuit down the home stretch. The long run, the kind a fan often hears about but seldom sees, was stripped of spectacular elements be cause no Tiger was close enough to make a race. The half ended while Wham was enroute and "Red'' Owens was given the opportunity to convert with a placement but the kick was low. Thus, Furman trailed from the outeet after the Clemsons scored a second period touchdown which was set up 10 yards from goal by Chip Clark's recovery of the ball which Paul Stombaugh fumbled after trying to field Hendley's 60-yard quick kick. Dewey Quinn, of Pelzer, made nine yards on his first off-tackle lunge and then smashed over from the one for the touchdown.

Marvis (Bull) Cagle converted. QUINN EXPLODES Quinn served notice then and there that he was the man of the hour for during the game the quick-starting, hard-driving fullback poured through Furman's weak tackles for a net gRin of 122 yards In 18 thrusts. The Tigers marched 46 vards for their second tally in the third quarter as Quinn and Morgan gained 14 yards and Leonard passed to Clark who made the catch on the run and sprinted across the double-stripes on a 32-yard play that broke Furman's back. Cagle's conversion made the count 14 to 6. The Purples, who had played a nlp-and-tuck first half, appeared to be fast fading with a line that bent under the impact of off-tackle smashes and was stout onlv on the right side with Wham and Sonny (Continued on Tage 1-B, Col.

8) Laurens To Push Its Recreation And Park Plans By MANUEL J. ROGERS (State Editor, The News) LAURENS, Nov. 16. Now that the city of Laurens has purchased the 230-acre Todd tract east of Laurens for a park and recreation development, steps will be taken immediately for pushing the project. An elaborate program of recreational activity has been planned by leaders on a long-range basis.

Included in the plans for the development are a baseball diamond, swimming lake, tennis courts, picnic areas, playgrounds, hiking trails, eventually a golf course and other features. PROJECTS BE SUPERVISED The recently created Park and Recreation board will have overall supervision of the establishment and maintenance of the center. Various organizations of the city will spon sor and finance certain features of the development and some of the organizations already are building up tidy sums to be used for this purpose. The first steD to be taken bv the board will be to have the area surveyed and planned by competent landscape engineers. Then will come the task of designation bf the various features in line with the need and those needed most will be launched first, according to Gilbert Roberson, chairman of the board.

BUILDING BE BUILT A building that will serve as a community center will be erected on the tract, either by the city or by some of the organizations that have been pushing the plan. The city was asked to purchase the land at a oost of $23,000 and to erect a building at an estimated cost of $30,000. City council recently voted to buy the property but has taken no action on the building. The Exchange club of Laurens has staged an air show, horse show and street dance for raising money toward its part in the park program and has a fairly good start on the fund. The American Legion and other organizations also have begun raising funds.

Attlee May Ask Confidence Vote LONDON. Nov. 16. Prime Minister Attlee is prepared to ask the House of Commons Monday for his first vote of confidence to crush decisively a revolt in the labor party against his foreign policy. An authoritative government Informant declared it was "quite probable" that Attlee would take this action to "show how small" is the vote of rebel labor party members whose criticism of Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin has precipitated a minor crisis In government; ranks.

Whether Attlee will go to that extreme depends upon the lengths to which the rebels themselves carry Monday's discussion of foreign policy brought about by their proposed amendment to the "King's Address." which constituted Attire's official declaration of policy for the 1946-47 parliamentary session. Bevln's policies won an endorsement from his conservative predecessor. Anthony Eden, who said In a speech at Newcastle-on-Tyne today that Bevin Is "pursuing the right course" in seeking to build up the authority of the United Nations and strengthen "the rula of law" between nations Convention Row Threatens Over CIO Communists ATLANTIC CITY, N. Nov. 16 (U.R) Philip Murray's fight to rid the CIO of Communist influence tonight threatened the bitterest convention row since John L.

Lewis of the miners union punched William Hutcheson of the carpenters in the jaw when the CIO was born here 11 years ago. Murray made an eleventh-hour effort today to avert a floor fight on the Communist issue In the eighth CIO convention beginning Monday but some leaders believe he may be forced to give the signal for an all-out anti-Communist fight. SPECIAL GROUP A special committee appointed by Murray to reach a deal on procedure for ridding the CIO of Communist taint deadlocked and put the issue up to the CIO chief. The committee consists of Presidents Walter Reuther, United Auto Workers; Emil Rieve, Textile Workers Union; Milton Murray, American Newspaper Guild, all right ringers; Michael Quill, Transport Workers Union; Abram Flaxer, United Public Workers, and Ben Fold, International Fur Workers, left wingers. The Communist sympathizers resisted every demand from the right wing leaders that they promise to halt all their efforts to plunge the CIO into class warfare and lead it away from trade union objectives Murray's forces sought a joint policy statement that would "forever disassociate the CIO from Communism." LEADERS DETERMINED One CIO leader predicted that unless the executive board can resolve the conflict the battle will explode on the convention floor.

He said right wing leaders appeared determined to force the pro-Communist elements to knuckle under or get out of the CIO. Only a few CIO leaders are members of the Communist party and they control unions with about of the slightly more than CIO members. thf presidential yacht Williamsburg He was welcomed with traditional Navy ceremony. When the midshipmen assembled in the mess hall for the noon meal, Mr. Truman spoke to them in a serious mood.

"You young men, and the young men of West Point, are a cross section of the United States of America," he said. "You have come from every state, from every congressional district. You represent the United States In a manner that no other school In the country represent. It. Now the future Is in your hands.

Those of us who are now running the government are coming to the end of their time, no matter what happens." That drew a chuckle from the midshipmen, who obviously were thinking of the recent Republican election victories Elford street to River street in West End and no parking will be per mitted in the affected areas after noon. After 3 p. any car still parked in the area Will be towed in, Chief Jennings said. He added that this was necessary so that the parade could move unhampered through the business district.

He will be last in the parade. However, plenty of music will be furnished by Greenville, Parker, Easley and Greer high school bands.
