HEAD COLD WATERY MISERY VITH MSTmmo ACTION PENETRO NOSE DROPS rr- Of I Turn to Labor i Housing Offered In Election Bid Blackpool, England, Oct. 13. IA Britain's conservatives made a determined bid Friday for the votes of disgruntled union workers and ill-housed families.

Rank and file conservatives, stampeding past their more cautious leaders, voted an election campaign pledge to build three houses for every two the ruling labor party now Is putting up under the housing program. At their annual party conference, the conservatives decided that if they win the next election, they should trim such projects as schools, hospitals, export factories and even defense works, if necessary to build 300,000 a year. An election date has not yet been set, but the labor prime minister, Clement Attlee, is expected to fix it for sometime in the spring. Another resolution urged conservative workmen to woo their socialist associates into tory-sponsored union councils. It said the party will "back by every practicable means any man who is victimized by any trade union for furthering this policy." Several speakers as well as this resolution expressed or implied a fear that powerful pro-socialist union leaders might apply cutting vengeance to a union man who turned tory.

They made plain they will seek power by concentrating their campaign in mixed, working class-middle class areas where the laborites barely won parliamentary seats in last Febauary's close election. The labor party, too, plans to campaign on tne doorsteps of these areas as well as in the rural districts where the conservatives narrowly hold many seats. Sharp criticisms of slow progress towards providing a house for every one who needs one swept through last week's labor party conference as Well as throueh this rnnvunHnn It is obviously the No. 1 political issue in iiritains sidestreets and byways.

Burial will be in Laurel Catholic cemetery. America Proposes MacArthur Regime (Continued From Page 1.) not necessary to have another ballot.

Australia, a member of the Korean commission, is ready to demand an all-Korean vote before the unified government is formed. Britain is said to be backing the Australian view. A decision on elections must be made later by the United States commission. The United States occupation plan calls for: Initial occupation to be from the time the fighting is almost over until internal security is established in the greater part of North Korea. MacArthur would be the supreme authority.

Civil affairs would be limited to emergency relief and assistance and the initial establishment or reactivation of local and provincial governments. The period of this phase would be onei. The second phase would continue until elections are held in North jvorea wnicn would enable a na tional government to assume re sponsibility. The republic's legislature is holding 100 seats for representatives from the north but no one has come up with a firm idea how the republic would be merged wnn tne north to make an all-Korean government or what would be done to meet that problem. In the last phase, the unified government would assume authority and a minimum of U.N.

troops would remain. The United States wants all non-Korean forces to be withdrawn at the end of this third phase. Ruling on Hiss Appeal Withheld (Continued From Page 1.)

"These Jurors knew," he said, "that the jurors in the first case who voted for acquittal had been subjected to harassment." The lawyer said the F.B.I. in the case had used improper methods, and told prospective witnesses that Hiss was "a Russian lover and communist spy" and that "had better prove him Assistant United States Attorney Clarke Ryan said that the "sole complaint that could be made At the second meeting of the present commission, held in Billings last February 1 and 2, it was agreed that a compact would be drawn by the drafting committee and submitted to commissioners before the next meeting, Reedy said the drafting committee has been unable to agree on a basis of compact, so the commission chairman, R. J. Newell of Boise, Idaho, called the meeting for consideration of difficulties.

The engineering committee recently toured the Tongue and Big Horn river systems in Montana and Wyoming. Carl Myers, chairman, reported that the committee hurt reached a water allotment formula on which a compact might be based, but declined to make it public because of its "controversial" nature. 500 Said Slain By Red Police (Continued From Page 1.) political suspects; the rest were ordinary criminals. A Christian minister, 44-year-old Han Jun Myung of the Jesus church of Korea, was one of 300 political prisoners called out of their tiny cells early on the morning of October 9. They were marched up a near-by hill and pushed into a large air raid shelter.

The reds then opened fire from behind. Men on Han's right and left were killed and two bullets ripped through the minister's clothing, but he was not harmed. After several hours of execution, the police blasted the mouth of the shelter closed except for a tinv opening at the top. Han remained there two days.

Robert F. Herdman of Hardin, construction engineer for the bureau of reclamation's Yellowtail unit of the Missouri river basin project, has accepted a bid to explain the project at the meeting.

He pointed out, however, that In South Korea, the end of military activity saw prompt restoration of rule to civil authorities.

VP) The state department advised manufacturers and traders Friday they can continue to obtain wool for their needs in the customary manner in both domestic and markets.

Officials said the reassurance was given because of conflicting reports on government plans for procurement of wool. The announcement said: no arrangement is being negotiated which would modify in any manner the way in which wool is procured by the United States private trade to meet the demand for current military and civilian use. Accordingly, there is no reason why manufacturers and traders should not continue to obtain wool for their needs in the customary manner in both domestic and foreign markets. "Currently military use mentioned above does not refer to the war reserve which was authorized by a recently enacted supplementary appropriation bill. Plans have not been completed for procurement of this reserve." Numbers Racket Charges Are Made (Continued From Page 1.) to identify the higher-ups time."

"unclassified loans" to be in 15 months Instead of 18 paid off But home improvement loans will continue to be granted on a 10 per cent down payment basis and 30 months to pay. While the new curbs on automobiles are Identical to those imposed during World war II, they are more lenient for other items. In most cases, the wartime down payment was one third and the payment period was limited to 12 months.

In announcing Its action, the board noted that prices nationally have risen since it was first announced five weeks ago that controls would be invoked. Aside from installment buying curbs, the most drastic anti-inflation step taken to date are the new housing credit controls which went into effect Thursday. They require down payments rangnig from 5 to 50 per cent on all new, and some used housing, and limit the mortgage payment to 20 years instead of the 25 to 30 years which prevailed previously. France Requests Huge Arms Sum (Continued From Page 1.) Marshall, Secretary of State Dean Acheson and Secretary of Treasi John w. Snyder regarded the 13.170.000,000 request for 1951 as too large.

But assurances were given that an interim amount would be made available soon and additions would be forthcoming later. The Frenchmen urgently appealed for more and faster United States arms in the wake of fresh victories by communist forces led by Ho Chi Minh over the retreating French troops. They the seriousness of the situation in the orient and asked for more small ships, vehicles, artillery, rifles, ammunition, communications equipment and fighter-bomber planes. The amount of American aid was not disclosed. The French officials outlined In some detail their plans to build up French divisions which will serve in the united western European defense force.

They have asked the United States to give them about $750,000,000 to this end. The state department said in a statement after the conference that Acheson "expressed gratification for the clarity of the French presentation and assured Moch and Petsche that the data presented would be actively studied by the American authorities." Moch and Petsche will meet again Monday with the American officials. The latest flareup of fighting in mao-cnina lent an unexpected note of urgency to the talks that were to have been concerned primarily with French plans to bolster European defenses. The French want to build 10 divisions to full troop strength In Europe next year and 10 more by the end of 1953, if they can get about $750,000,000 of United States help. The communist advances in Indochina, however, pose a serious and immediate problem.

By opening a new front in the far east, Moscow strategy apparently is succeeding in weakening allied plans for Europe by diverting arms shipments to the orient. Paris reports said the French cabinet is considering dispatch of more troops to Indo-China. This would weaken French forces in be- APPLIANCE STORE Phone 1318 SERVICE Need for Steel Expansion Plans Said Inadequate Indianapolis, Oct. 13. (JT) Assistant Secretary of the Interior C.

Girard Davidson said Friday that the steel industry's proposed expansion program is "not enough to do the job." "If the steel industry follows its present projected schedule and provides us with 110,000,000 tons of capacity at the end of 1952, it will still not be enough," Davidson said in a speech prepared for an Indiana Independent Petroleum association meeting. He called for boosting steel production to 125,000,000 or 130,000,000 tons by the end of 1952. Present production, he said, is Just over 100,000,000 tons annually, 4,000,000 more than in 1948. Secretary of Commerce Sawyer announced recently that the steel industry planned to expand its annual capacity bv 9.400,000 tons by the end of 1952. He termed this "an encouraging indication of the willingness of industry to forge ahead," and added that "it Is clear that the position of the United States in the event of another war would be vastly improved over the position in World war II." But Davidson said the expansion program "is just not enough to do the job for normal civilian requirements and particularly for meeting military needs." Truman Hits Foes Of Defense Plans (Continued From Page 1.) cautionary measures have been planned to safeguard the president on the Honolulu to Wake flight.

Radford said two fast destroyer escorts, the Epperson and the Philip, were stationed between the Hawaiian islands and Wake. Two destroyer mine sweepers, the Thompson and the Carmick, guard the approaches to the tiny Pacific atoll. The ships are equipped to track the president's plane by radar and to maintain continuous communications with the pilot of the Independence throughout the flight. The destroyer tender Hamul has been stationed at Wake island to provide a communications channel. MACARTHIR LEAVES Tokyo, Oct.

14. (U.R) General Douglas MacArthur left Saturday for a mid-Pacific rendezvous with President Truman still maintaining a tight-lipped silence on his summons to confer with his commander in chief. MacArthur, wearing a summer khaki uniform open at the collar. a battered leather lacket and his famous old campaign hat. took 0fj from Tokyo's Haneda airport at 7:10 a.m.

The general never has announced that he was going to meet Truman. His headquarters had released no information on his schedule or the party accompanying him.

Newsmen got their information merely by being at the airport and seetng who boarded the plane. MacArthur was accompanied by John J. Muccio, United States ambassador to the Republic of Korea, a long-time close adviser; Brigadier General Courtney Whitney, political secretary to MacArthur's united nations command, his personal aide and his physician. Down to see him off were William Sebald, MacArthur's state department adviser; Major General Charles A. Willoughby.

Moch outlined at Friday's meeting, attended by 20 American and 17 French diplomatic and civilian leaders, plans to double French arms spending next year from to $2,450,000,000. He said this leaves a budget gap of $770,000,000 and that American help is wanted to meet the deficit. Without United States aid, it was argued that French armament plans would have to be scaled down to the dangerous disadvantage of the 12 north Atlantic treaty powers which are trying to build their European aeienses against soviet aggression U-M-M GOOD!
