FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1947 Abandons Hope (Continued from Page 1) come on in the food's finel comber. 1945. At that time it was agreed the United States and Russia should form a Joint commission to unify Korea and that control should be exercised by the big four powers for five years after establishment of a stable native administration. The note continued: "The present stalemate in the joint commission negotiations and the failure that commission to accomplish even the first task of its commission have made it abundantly clear to all that bi-Jateral negotiations on the subject of consultation with Korean political parties and organizations will only serve to delay the implementation of this agreemert and defeat Its announced purpose of bringing about early Independence for Korea." The demand for a four-power conference follows two unsuccessful attempts to settle Korea's political 'uture through bl-lateral talks. As now stands, the country is divided with Russia occupying the northern half and the United States in charge of the south.

Copies of the note, signed by Undersecretary of State Robert Lovett, were sent to Britain and China. Proposal Summary With it went a summary of the United proposals on Korea, urging: 1. Early election In both the Sor it and United States zones in Ko- ea to choose "wholly representative" provisional legislators for each zone. Under the proposal, would be by secret, multiparty ballot on a basis of universal uffrage. 2.

The zonal legisla- then would choose representatives in numbers based upon the in the two zones with hese choices to constitute a na- ional legis 1 to meet at Seoul, establish a provisional government for a unit Korea. 3. That Government would meet Korea with representatives of he United States, Russia, Britain ind China to discuss what steps re necessary to place Korean independence on a "firm economic and lolltical foundation." 4. The United Nations would lave power to supervise the zonal lections and the forming of a entral government, along with the alks upon long-range Korean in- ependence. 5.

Our international aims, he said, nre to conclude peace treaties as soon as possible, strengthen the United Nations, and "secure for the world a stability that will enable men to address themselves to their dally tasks without the overhanging shadow and fear of war." President Truman, in a message read to the delegates, said the nation "must have the certainty of totnl defense" and "only universal military training can assure that sufficient forces will be available in the critical initial phase of another emergency." "Chaos Still Exists" "In a world where chaos still exists and war remains a dread possibility." the president said, "the most of our security will remain high for some time to come. We must be so strong that no aggressor, however rash, can persuade himself that we are open to conquest." Dewey, who may seek the Repub- lican presidential nomination next year, had stated similar views before the Madison Square Garden gathering. Prom Bernard M. Baruch, adviser to presidents, came another plea for peacetime conscription. Explaining he could not leave Saratoga Springs, because of work he is doing on a program of veterans' assistance, Baruch sent a message to the dinner given last night by Paul H.

Griffith, national commander of the Legion, for distinguished guests. "I agree with the Legion's stand on universal service, but to be effective and not waste precious time and perhaps the lives of young men, training must be accompanied by a mobilization of economic and spiritual," Baruch said. Weatherman Predicts Pleasant Labor Day Week-End For Nation By United Press The weatherman predicted today that except for scattered showers the nation should have a "pleasant holiday week-end."

Cool waves swept both the east and west coasts, but temperatures remained about normal.

The prediction of good weather was expected to bring near-capacity crowds to the nation's highways, ball parks and other play areas during the three-day week-end. Police Connect Third Death With Shelbyv.lle Killer Shelbyvllle, 111,, Aug. Blood on the knife found in the pocket of a 22-year-old war veteran who ran amuck Wednesday night was reported to be of the same group as that of William Mogg, whose throat-slashed body was found near the skating rink where the ex-soldier killed his teen-aged wife and wounded her brother. John N. Schaich of the state iriminal identification bureau in Springfield said the blood matching 'did not necessarily prove" that Donald Helton killed the 33-year- old handy man during his shooting spree which ended in the death of Helton's teen-aged wife, his father and wounding of his mother and young brother-in-law.

Schajch. said, however, that similarity of the blood "certainly Inked" Helton to the third death. State's Attorney Eugene Bland said he still had on "open mind" in case and planned to investigate further despite the blood matching. Sheriff C. C.

Clawson said "our investigation will continue." Mogg's body was found several hours after a posse discovered Helion had ended his life in his fam- ly's farm house after killing his wife, Jacqueline, at a roller skating on the edge of town. Mogg was almost decapitated. Rockford Mother Free On Probation Danville, 111., Aug.

BONN-SERFASS miimmm Guaranteed 1 Housekeeping FUR EVENT Furs Outstanding in VALUE and QUALITY BONN-SERFASS 7 North Chicago Avenue John Bonn Emma Serfass Our Water-Cooltd For Your Comfort Coal Industry Faces Most Severe Railroad Car Shortage Known Chicago, Aug. coal Industry faces the most severe railroad car shortage in its history, Fred A.

Schleifer, chairman of the coal and coke committee of the Mid-West Shippers Advisory board, said today. The shortage will not be felt most acutely until the annual coal shipping peak later this year, he said, but it already is so severe that a "big majority." of mines are being forced to close one to five days a week because coal is being mined faster than it can be shipped. Schleifer, in a letter to industrial consumers, coal dealers and the railroads said all users of coal cars must load, unload and move coal cars with the greatest speed to make full use of all available cars. He attributed the car shortage to foreign coal demands, including to Canada, heavy use of gondola cars by the steel, sand and other industries, the prospective record sugar beet movement which, requires open cars, and the long distances required to move coal from mines to seaports. Cannot Blame Railroads He said the railroads could not oe blamed for the shortage, because they are moving more tonnage than ever before in a peace time year and with 500,000 fewer cars of all types.

The number of new coal carrying cars scheduled for delivery this year probably will not offset the number which will be retired, he said. "During the week ended Aug. 16 it is estimated that 1,700,000 tons (of coal) were lost because of the lack, of cars," he said. "Every major coal carrying road Is experiencing car shortages. There does not appear to be a great deal of relief in sight as we approach the annual seasonal traffic peak." Schleifer said that in June coal dumpings at ports throughout the nation for overseas shipments amounted to about 4,500,000 tons.

The total fell to about 3,000,000 tons in July, as the result of miners' vacations, he said. Coal shipments for overseas probably will continue at a rate of about 4,000,000 tons a month, with no substantial decrease expected before July 1, 1948, he said.
