Sundty, Ftbrutry 24, 19JJ Truce Talks Collapse Possibility Pondered WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 Hft--lt Korean truce talks happens then? break down, The possibility that such a collapse might lead simply to a prolonged stalemate in the war is being considered by American strategists and policymakers. There are signs that, as of now, President Truman's advisers are opposed (o the United Slates taking any initiative to hit Red China directly in an effort to break tuch a stalemate. The dominant feeling in the Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Security Council is reported to be that the United States should ex- OVER CRIME, POLITICS Chicago Finally Is Boiling Mad CHICAGO, Feb. 23 --Chicago finally is boiling mad.

ThjD city which for years has been the butt of jibes about gangsters and trooked politics has embarked on vihat may become the biggest house-cleaning in its rough and tumble history. Why? Because diaries Gross, 56, i( comparatively obscure politician was cut down by seven gunshot blasts while walking along -the street the night of Feb. C. Gross was acting Republican commilteernan in the 3lsl Ward and 'was seeking election to thu post in the April 8 primary. The killing, lit first, seemed no move shocking than others committed in Chicago.

Chicago's history Jias been marked by eight political assassinations, including those a slate representative, a former assistant slate's attorney and a slate industrial commissioner. Only one was solved. But it was soon learned thai Gross was fighting hoodlum inroads in his ward and had ignored Permits For Construction Top $300,000 Construction i shot up over the 8300,000 mark here last week as Building Inspector Eugene Cook issued nine licenses, worth for a a of $308,050 for the year. The S31.4SO total was a shai'p contrast lo Ihe $66 ,550 of a week bclore. Tolal for JBA2 in the 1 of building permits issued here now stands at 6.5.

Licenses were issued to: H. W. Kelly for new five-room frame residence un Emery J. It. Ginnings lo construct five-room, frame home on Denlon Dr.

Chicago's newspapers demanded an immcdlaln cleanup in page one editorials and tho city's residents pondered: Were gang bullets ae lually supplanting ballols In some Chicago neighborhoods? Rewards Posted The full storm broke on Friday, Fob. 8 two days after lha slaying. Reporters from the city's newspapers went to political and civic leaders and asked, "Exactly what are you going to do?" The response was swift. William N. Ericksou, president of Ihe Cook County Beard of Supervisors and candidate tor the Republican nomination for governor, stripped patronage- (jobs) from Republican commiltccmcn in eight West Side bloc wards.

Some 300 county employes were earmarked for dismissal, and more lhan SO hnve been lopped off the payroll thus far. Investigations were started by the city's civic leaders, the Chicago City Council, the Cook County grand jury and the U. S. district attorney's office. The Chicago Sun Times offered $16,000 reward for solution of the killing and the Chicago Tribune, Si 0,000.

James Gross' only opponent for coinmitteeman, commented that "this puts me in an awful spot" and offered a $1,000 reward. 'Didn't Die In Vain Republican loaders named a steering commtitee of seven lo handle a a a i in Gross' ward, but (wo of I Chester F. Milchell and Edward F. Hildenbrandl, withdrew. Mitchell, an insurance broker, said he was quitting politics completely because of the pressure of business, But Ihe Chicago Tribune his wife as a i he was slapped by hoodlums and warned lo get out of politics.

Ilildcnbrandt sjikl he quit because his family was "worried sliff." A committee of civic leaders already has receiver) $4,000 in donations to i a a fighl for reforms.

Not Enough Planes The Air Force has long been I counted on as the fighting arm which wordd carry the burden of such an air-sea war, but it understood that. Air Force leaders arc among those who advised against It if it can be Avoided. Three principal arguments arc being advanced in support of this attitude: 1. The present Do-wing Air Force has been carefully designed to ret a i a directly againsl Russia If Bussta starls a war, to defend the United Slates, and to support Allied ground forces in Western Europe, It does not have more than just enough planes to do these jobs. If It had to expand Us operations in the Far East it would have to divert planes from these essential purposes.

Public Opinion 2. China is Junior partner in the Communist bloc. Russia is the center of power there just as the United Slates is the center of power for the free nations. Action against China, therefore, could not he decisive. 3.

In terms of the results which could be obtained, a limited war on lied China now would be a cosily one in American pianos and personnel and perhaps naval craft as well. The best available figures in Washington show the Chinese Heds have a steadily growing air force of 1,700 planes, of which about 900 are jels. One of (he big problems which officials say they cannot measure is what public reaction would be in the event of a truce collapse. In both the Slate and Defense Op. partmcnts some officials believe a the demand for action direct- Masonic No.

MICKEY MILLIKEN Mickey Milliken Is Candidate For County Surveyor I wish lo announce my a i dacy for the office of Surveyor. May Warning Issued. By Doctors On New TB Drug CHICAGO, Feb. 23 Ml--An organization of chest physicians said today a the new isonlcotlnic acid anil.tuberculosis drug "should nol be used as regular treatment in new cases until a great deal more is known about it and its reaction in Ihe a being." Experts in New York reported Thursday lhal 190 palients hopelessly ill with TB made improvements within a few weeks a receiving the known both as rimifon and nydrazid. The physicians' group said the drug "appears to hold great promise" but added: "Whether this drafj will extend the scope of a decrease the time required, or change the approach lo certain lypcs of this disease has yet lo be determined." Comment on the was made today In a statement by the Council on a a and Troalmcnt of Diseases of the American Collegia of Chest Physicians, which said: "Medication end medical methods which are now available and regularly used in Ihe a of tuberculosis are effective in most cases.

The council cautions that prcsenl-tlay a should nol be a a for any material or method which is still in experi- a static." Nancy Gates (Continued from Paga years old and signed her to a con- Iracl.

In 1051, she joined Paramounl Studios.

"The Atomic City" her first i for that organization on contributions by employers or workers and no limit on benefits, was issued lonight by the Wagu Stabilization Board (WSB). The action paved the way for automatic approval of hundreds of new and revised employe pension plans which have been held up for months awailiug a board policy, WSB a i a Nathan Fcinsing- or told a news conference the policy allows "maximum latitude" in establishing pension and retirement systems. The neu policy does not mean that employers, or unions, are obligated to agree to the establishment of pension plans. It merely deals with the question of what plans arc permissible under the government's a i i a i rules. Three Standards The regulation sets these three i i standards to which new pension plans must conform for board a a 1.

The a age at which a person may a i for i must bo at least firs. 2. Benefits other a death a must bo payable at least over the i i of the retired employe. 3. Any benefits from employer contributions lo employes whose jobs end before i those fired, for example shall curry no cash surrender value to tho em- ploye and shall nol be paid out until the employe reaches his normal retirement age.

Workers who retire before age 05 as conlrasled to quilting or getting fired would be entitled lo re duced benefits so lhal the fund remains actuarily sound that is, those payments must nol hamper the retirement fund's financial condition. Steps Outlined The new policy is expected (o clutir up more a 51)0 pension requests now before the hoard and ease the board's efforts lo cut down a backlog of wage cases numbering more than 10,000. Tho board has been working on the new policy for more ttian six monUis. Here's what an employer must do to gut approval of a now pension plan: Send the plan to Ihe board. The board will acknowledge rei-eipl.

Then if the employer docsn'l hear from the board wiihin 30 days from Ihe dale ol acknowledgement, the. pl.m can lake a a i effect. Pension plans which arc nol approved in tills way will be considered as special petition cases. The hoard said it may consider some plans tinstabilking and hold them up for special study even they meet trie three minimum standards.
