The car was driven into the woods off Livingston avenue, about a quarter of a mile north of the Triangle Garage, which is located at the intersection of Livingston avenue and Highway 26. The men abandoned the car when they suspected they were being pursued, stayed in the woods until hunger drove them to seek food in the home of Carlos Mal-donado on nearby How lane. In the car were found a prison uniform and a pair of dungarees. Just why the men sought to retain this one uniform was not determined.

The car had been taken by the four convicts during a hold-up of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Schubert of Trenton shortly after they escaped from the Bordentown Prison Farm last Tuesday. By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Nov.

10 While Russian leaders watched from afar, President Truman and Prime Ministers Attlee of Britain and MacKenzie King of Canada pulled up easy chairs in the White House this afternoon and began discussing what to do about the atomic bomb. This presented a speed-up in the schedule. As late as last night it had called for the talks to start Sunday. But Attlee arrived early this morning by plane from London, MacKenzie King came in from the same capital 1 ship and train and the decision was made to start the conference at once. It will continue through next week.

It seemed probable that other subjects than atomic energy and explosives would be discussed by Mr. Truman and the British prime minister. Foremost on the list of possibilities is that of Jewish immigration into Palestine. An Associated Press dispatch from London said it was reported that Britain and the United States already had agreed upon creation of a joint committee to deal with the Palestine problem and the related issue of displaced European Jews, but that Attlee wanted to talk it over with President Truman before any announcement is made. Possibly in connection with this, Mr.

Truman conferred today with a group of American diplomatic representatives here from the Middle East. May Discuss Loans Another question which may come up is that of Anglo-American negotiations oVer a United States loan of about $4,000,000,000 to Britain. British officials said Attlee would discuss this with Lord Keynes, one of the principle British negotiators, in the next day or so. Diplomatic officials were inclined to agree, in private talks to reporters, with a Russian newspaper assertion that relations between the western powers and Russia would be under serious test until the Russians find 6ut (1) Anglo-American plans for international handling of the bomb, and (2) what part if any Russia has in them. Mr.

Truman has called for "outlawing" the bomb and Attlee has talked about putting it in the custody of the United Nations. But neither has outlined yet a specific course for its future control or for handling the basic scientific knowledge of atomic energy which America, Britain and Canada share. Diplomats here speculated that the President and prime ministers would consider seriously proposals to share the knowledge with other countries, provided all agree to submit to United Nations inspection to keep bomb manufacture under control. Secrecy Questioned This immediately raised a question whether Russia, with her tight system of secrecy, would agree to any inspection or to any extension of the authority of the United Nations over member countries. Edge Cold To Session On Housing Meeting of Legislature to Take Action Is Held Unnecessary PLEA BY NEWARK OFFICIALS DENIED La Guardia Holds Prob lem Should Be Handled by Federal Government NEWARK, Nov.

10 (JP) The Newark City Commission's latest plea for a special session of the legislature to act on housing was rejected today by Governor Walter E. Edge who said that such a session "has been proven entirely unnecessary." The request, telegraphed to Edge yesterday, informed the governor that banks here had refused to handle city notes or bonds for temporary houses for people unable to find homes. Requests to convene in special session also were wired to each assemblyman and state senator. Edee declared at his Princeton home that "it is plainly evidenced by reason of messages sent lo members of the legislature that all they really want is a special session and that has been proven entirely unnecessary." He said he had "about reached the conclusion that a great many people" seeking to obtain tempor ary housing for returning service men and others in Newark are more interested in politics and sensational publicity than they Continued on Page Fourteen Carter Plant Workers Win Pay Increase Extra Holiday and Adjustment of Overtime Pay Also Granted Negotiations were completed yesterday, by plant representatives and officials of International Chemical Workers Union, Local 117, at the Carter Products Company in North Brunswick, for a wage increase, an extra holiday and adjustment of overtime pay. Workers were awarded a pay increase of 22 per cent and granted an extra holiday, bringing the total from six to seven days off during the year.

The overtime adjustment scale includes double time for Sunday work and time and a half for all work over eight hours daily. The union was represented at the meeting by Michael Pollard, president; Lewis Busch, union attorney; Vincent Busby, international representative from Newark; Ann Gibbs, Catherine Wein-gart and Robert Layman. Abe Schwartz of Newark was the attorney for the plant at the negotiations meeting. Company officials present were A. R.

Fists Fly in Hard Fought Game With 3 1'layers Sent to Sidelines SPECTATORS CLASH IN GOALPOST RIOT Small Crowd of 2,500 Watches 40th Meeting of Gridiron Rivals By GORDON McCOY EASTON, Nov. 10. Fists flew at Fisher Field this afternoon as Rutgers University slashed to its first Middle Three football championship since 1939 by deluging a determined Lafayette eleven, 32- 14, before a sparse gathering of 2.500 customers.

Action was Dacked in every quarter of the fortieth meet- intr of the traditional rivals, but it was in the second half that most of the fireworks broke loose with Rutgers scor ing three times and Lafayette twice. The game's end did not halt the ction. A large gathering of Rutgers students and followers poured onto the field to upend one of the goal posts and sporadic rights broke out between the New Brunswick contingent and the Lafayette defenders. The game, featured by the run-ring of Art Mann, Scarlet left half, and Lafayette's Charlie Loi-scono, saw three players banished for unnecessary roughness or slugging. Two of the culprits were starters in the Rutgers backfield.

Acting Captain Eugene McManus and Quarterback Frank Burns. The latter was ejected in the first two rhinutes of the third period, and Continued on Page Twelve Special Events: Planned to Aid 6E' Bond Sales House-to-House Canvass, Band Concert and Bond Auction Scheduled With a meeting of the city-vide Victory Loan committee scheduled for Tuesday, at which time latest figures on the campaign will be disclceed, plans are under way for several events designed to spur the lagging sale of -E" bonds in this area. The committee, under the general chairmanship of Mayor Chester Paulus will meet in the Roger Smith Hotel at 12:15 p. m. Tuesday to hear reports from the various chairmen on the progress of the campaign.

The bond goal for the New Brunswick area, which includes Highland Park and North Brunswick, 6 $900,000, and preliminary reports indicate that widespread public complacency has hampered this final effort of the government to obtain funds with which to finish the war job and win the peace. Meanwhile plans are progressing for two events expected to lend impetus to the campaign. In addition to tomorrow's Armistice Day parade, house-to-house solicitation is expected to begin the latter part of the week. Sorority to Help The bell-ringing brigades, under the chairmanship of George R. Morrison, will include approximately 50 young women members of three chapters of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority, who have volunteered for this patriotic endeavor.

In Highland Park, the house-to-house campaign will be handled by Prof. Maurice Chaffee Rutgers University, who will conduct the canvass on the north side, and the Park Men's Club, under David Steinberg, who will xinz bells on the south side. Final plans for the home solicitation will be made Wednesday night at a meeting in the headquarters of the Junior Chamber of Commerce at 143 Church treet, and other persons wishing to volunteer for this work are requested to attend. The meeting will start promptly at 8. Another Victory Loan event expected to produce substantial sales of bonds is the concert of the Combat Infantry Band at the Roosevelt Junior High School auditorium on Monday evening, November 19.

This will also include a bond auction of more than 50 valuable items of merchandise contributed by retailers of the community. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the RKO Reade Theatre in Highland Park this coming Tuesday, but it was later learned the Combat Infantry Band was available only for the night of November 19 and the date was accordingly changed. Continued on Page Fourteen AS DEADLINE PASSES Indonesians all Back, Adopt 'Scorched Earth' Policy By LEIF ERICKSON BATAVIA, Java, Nov. 10 British warplanes and artillery blasted at Soerabaja and Indian troops attacked toward the heart of the great naval base today in battle against Indonesians who rejected a British ultimatum for surrender of their weapons. A Nationalist spokesman declared British naval guns were bombarding the city of 500,000 inhabitants, that rnany were killed, and that families were fleeing and carrying out a scorched earth policy.

Strong Indonesian forces were reported marching on Soerabaja from inland Jogpakarta, Nationalist stronghold 175 miles to the southwest. British declared their initial advance met only light sniping and machinegun fire. An official statement said the shelling and bombing were order because Indian troops had suffered casualties from stiffened Indonesian resistance, and "stronger measures were necessary." Shelling started at 6 a. m. today (6 p.

m. E. S. Friday) The deadline set by ultimatum for the Indonesians to surrender their arms preparing the way for the infantry. Buildings Strafed Four Thunderbolts bombed and strafed the postoffice and government buildings, and one plane was damaged but landed safely, the RAF said.

There were no immediate estimates of casualties on either side. Advices from Jogjakarta, where 100,000 armed Indonesians are reported concentrated, declared hot- neaaea were already marching toward Soerabaja shouting "Fight for freedom!" Indonesian "President" Soek-arno had gone to Jogjakarta to address a youth rally, which broke up when news of the British attack was received. Soekarno was expected to return to Batavia tomorrow. There were no indications yet that the Soerabaja battle had set off any widespread outbreaks throughout Java, as Indonesian leaders had predicted might result. Late tonight Allied troops used mortars in a short but severe clash with Indonesians in the Kramat sector of Batavia, and firing was heard behind the Hotel Des Indes.

Indonesian "Foreign Minister" Soebardjo said he had received a "private and unofficial" report from the telephone manager at Soerabaja, saying the exchange was being abandoned. Raise $1,000 For Veterans Center Here Tag Day Solicitation in City Yesterday Is Held Successfid Nearly $1,000 was collected yesterday during tag day for the New Brunswick Veterans Center, it was reported at local headquarters for the drive on Carroll place where the solicitation was held quite successful. Veterans and their assistants, stationed at about 20 busy corners of the city, asked passersby to contribute to the fund, which will go toward construction of a veterans center in the city. Each contributor was given a small white tag to wear. Citizens responded generously, lt was reported.

The drive started at 7 a. m. yesterday under the auspices of the Disabled American Veterans, the American Legion, the Catholic War Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Michael Puskas was chairman of the solicitation. Joseph Hertz, and Edward Ma-lone conducted one booth on George street and Jack MeGov-ern and P.

o8-tf Diplomatic officials predict that, in line with general Big-Three practice, Generalissimo Stalin and Foreign Commissar Molotov will be informed of the conclusions reached here as soon as they are made. Russia was not invited to the present conference because she did not share in the development of the atomic bomb. Her attitude has been stated pointedly by Molotov. He said a few days ago that the Soviet Union would get atomic energy and that it could not be kept secret. The possible effects of the prob lem on Big-Three policy were highlighted yesterday in Moscow by a Pravda editorial.

It said that Anglo-American-Russian collaboration is "undergoing serious tests." The newspaper speaks with official weight. UAW and G. M. Are Still Far From Arreeinr Union Company Offi cials Not Optimistic on Wage Settlement DETROIT, Nov. 10 VP Wage negotiations between General Motors Corp.

and the CIO United Automobile Workers' Union were in recess tonight with neither management nor labor optimistic that a common ground might be found on the union's demand for a 30 per cent wage rate increase. Reporting that no progress had been made at the wage sessions so far, Waller P. Reuther, UAW-CIO vice president, said: "We are exactly where we were the day after we filed our first brief three months ago." Said H. W. Anderson.

General Motors vice president: "We can't be very optimistic (over the outcome of the negotiations) with a strike hanging over our heads." The weeks of negotiations have developed heated exchanges between General Motors and the union. The management has termed the union's demand for 30 per cent wage increases as "unreasonable" and labeled as "fantastic" union claims that the corporation could pay the full increase, reduce car prices and yet increase its profits. Two General Motors counterproposals have been rejected by the union. One suggested a 45-hour work week with a six per cent wage increase; the other offered a cost-of-living increase averaging between eight and 10 per cent to cover upturns in living costs since January 1, 1941. The union termed the first offer a "phony bribe" that would scrap the Federal wages and hours law.

Th esecond offer it called "pure economic poison" that would mean "unemployment and shrinkage of purchasing power" among workers and "over-saving by management and stockholders of big corporations." Lucas told a reporter the Republican members seemed to indicate in Senate debate yesterday that a Senate-House inquiry committee can't be trusted to make a thorough investigation of the responsibility for the naval disaster. Democrats outnumber Republicans six to four on the group. "The only mistake the committee seems to have made," the Illinois Senator declared, "is that it didn't employ Senator Ferguson, the one-man investigator from Michigan, as its general counsel. "It apparently is his view that no other committee member, the general counsel, no one in the War or Navy Departments and none of hose who have charge of the late President Roosevelt's files can be trusted." Ferguson charged in the Senate yesterday that as a result of President Truman's order permitting government employes to volunteer information but barring individual members from looking at the files, the departments apparently were going to be allowed to "investigate Urges Housing For Veterans By Lend-Lease Hoffman Proposes Domestic Program to Aid Returned Fighters ASBURY PARK, Nov. 10 Speaking at the annual reunion of Company Third New Jersey Infantry, in which he served during World War Lt.

Col. Harold G. Hoffman, former governor, said here tonight that the shortage of housing for returning veterans was of grave concern, and proposed a plan tinder which emergency housing might be provided under domestic lend-lease principles to meet the needs of the situation which he called "tragic." "At the time of V-E Day and the subsequent closing down of lend-lease," said Col. Hoffman, "there was under production or in storage in this country some 30,000 units of portable houses destined for shipment to our Allies, particularly Great Britain. When lend-lease was abandoned as an instrumentality of war expediency, work was stopped, on the production of these- -houses, some of which were being made right here In New Jersey.

"It seems to me that the state of New Jersey, through the governor and Department of Eco nomic Development the agency set up to handle these housing matters might contact the prop er agencies in Washington immediately and call upon the fed eral government to permit these homes to be completed and sold to the municipalities of New Jersey, to be erected on municipally-owned property, preferably park areas, so that they can be made available for rental to the returning veterans and their families. The attorney general has rendered an opinion that the municipalities have the legal right to borrow funds to carry out this program." Continuing his recommenda tion, the colonel said, "This is a serious problem so serious that the governor last week called a Continued on Page Fourteen The line of march will be along French street to George street, then up George street to Livingston avenue, and up the avenue past the reviewing stand in front of the Elks' building. The parade will continue to Townsend street, where it will disperse. Heading the marchers will be two honorary marshals and two parade marshals. The honorary marshals, named by P.

Dalton Spinelli, past commander of the Disabled American Veterans, will be S.Sgt. William C. Deitlein of 4 Maple street. New Brunswick, and SSgt. Albert Mangin of East Paterson.

Both men are patients at the Thomas England General Hospital in Atlantic City and are awaiting artificial limbs to replace those they lost in the war. They will ride in a car at the head of the parade. The other marshals will be Mayor Chester W. Paulus and Rudolph Nordhaus, commander of the Veterans Alliance. The marchers will be divided into four sections.

Section one, which will assemble at French and Oxford streets, will include an escort of New Brunswick and Highland Park police, officials from both municipalities and a contingent from the New Jersey State Guard.

S. Marine-guarded port of Chinwangtao, Associated Press Correspondent Richard Bergholz reported, signalling the first heavy fighting in the undeclared civil war. The action began near Shan-haikwan, coastal anchor of the wall north of Chinwangtao where the Reds' crack Eighth Route Army is solidly entrenched. The wounded had been trickling in from the front even before the big guns opened fire. Intensified fighting was reported far inland, and also flared south of Chinwangtao along the railroad to Tientsin.

An unconfirmed Chinese report said one Nationalist platoon was annihilated near a first-aid station set up to care for wounded at Nationalist-held Pehtaiho Junction, 15 miles south of Ching-wangtao. Marines Stay Neutral Although almost encircled by the fighting which until today has been sporadic, U. S. Marines had been involved in no new incidents, Bergholz said. Lt.

Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, commander of American forces in China, jsaid today in his first CKuTnjfkYng news conference since his return from Washington that all American forces will be out of China by early Spring, leaving only a military mission. They will not, he emphasized, help the Nationalists reach vital Manchuria, from which the Russians are withdrawing and in which the Chinese Reds hope to build a vast, militarily and industrially powerful "base area." Wedemeyer said Marines would remain "non-partisan," and would not make an further- landings in North China or move to any other points from their present stations at Peiping, Tientsin, Tangku (near Tientsin), Chinwangtao and Tsingtao. Communists in Chungking, where peace talks have thus far been fruitless, reiterated complaints against American "intervention."

It Armistice Day Parade Tomorrow Expected to Draw Record Crowds Verbal Punches Are Traded On Pearl Harbor Inquiry Assign Extra Policemen to Handfe Watchers of Procession By ELIHU JOSEPH Twenty-seven years ago today the guns were silent on the Western front and the first World War to preserve the democratic way of life was at an end. Since then, a second World War has cost millions of lives and billions of dollars and the statesmen of the world are still groping for the path to lasting peace. But today the thoughts of those who fought on Flanders fields will return again to those long months of struggle before, the forces of death and destruction were laid to rest only to Hare up again in the form of Fascism and Nazism. In view of the fact that today is Sunday, the 26th anniversary of the signing of the armistice of World War I will be observed tomorrow, with a parade and many reunions of veterans' organizations. Banks, public buildings, schools and many offices will observe the legal holiday, but stores and industrial plants will be open as usual.

The parade, designed as a joint observation of Armistice Day and to spur interest in the current Victory Loan drive, is expected to attract a record crowd to the downtown area tomorrow. The marchers will congregate on French street, between Bethany and Handy streets, and the parade will start promptly at 2 o'clock. WASHINGTON. Nov. 10 () A Republican and a Democrat traded verbal punches today over the congressional Pearl Harbor investigation.

These were the developments: Senator Homer Ferguson Mich.) revealed that he had asked that former Under Secretary of State Grew be called as a witness and that Grew supply official memoranda he made as ambassador to Japan before the Japanese attack. Senator Scott Lucas 111.) described Ferguson's demand for committee perusal of the diary of former War Secretary Stimson as an attempt to look at "personal papers." Lucas expressed the opinion that Republicans will be "greatly surprised" when they see the files of correspondence between the late President Roosevelt and former Prime Minister Churchill. Ferguson and Senator Brewster Me.) have said they asked for these files to see if anything in them bore on the possibility of this country's entry into the war about the time the Atlantic Charter was publicized..
