The amendment voiced that the gracious speech, while clearly revealing the intention of your majesty's government to continue their partisan policies, gives no assurance of the national leadership, the administrative competence, or the measures necessary to meet the economic crisis and so give relief to your people from their ever increasing hardship."

Despite the Polish amendment, there appeared little chance that the Soviet resolution would obtain any major support.

The joint proposal, submitted to replace separate resolutions by France, Australia and Canada, appeared to have substantial backing and was said by some delegates to have a good chance of approval. It was provided that: 1. The assembly request all governments to promote friendly relations "by all mean of publicity and propaganda available" and to en courage the dissemination of information designed "to give ex pression to the undoubted desire of all peoples for peace." 3.

The situation is exceedingly complicated, but well worth trying to untangle because of its great importance. The northwest frontier province has a Moslem population and is incorporated in the new Moslem dominion of Pakistan.

There has been bitter feeling between Pakistan and Kashmir because, while most of the state's population is Moslem, it is ruled by a Hindu maharajah who had declined to join Pakistan. He refused to join the Hindu dominion of India, for that matter and maintained an independent status until yesterday when Shiek Mohammed Abdullah, president of the National People's party of Kashmir, declared that the invasion was an attempt to coerce the state into joining Pakistan, and the Maharajah announced: "I have no option but to ask for help from the Indian (Hindu) dominion." The Maharajah, by the way, is he Prince Hari Singh who was involved in a sensational law case score of years ago in London when he was heir to the throne, occupied by his uncle.

Britain declined the proposition. Since then the Pathans wild frontier tribesmen who live by killing and plunder have been causing much trouble.

Washburn Monkeying With Life Is Small Profit Just Let It Be "Insurance companies say that fpore people are living longer and that the span of life will increase," reports William Feather in the Imperial Type Metal magazine. "Most of the human race are younger than I am. So long as I keep my health I want to keep on living.

But I often wonder, as I am doing now sitting at this typewriter, whether a general prolongation of life is desirable. I try to be a realist in judging myself and qthers, and I- do not perceive that many elders are especially vjfseful, except as baby sitters or as members of benevolent societies." There's not much profit, however, in Feather's speculation on the worth-whileness of matter whether you are dealing with the problem of saving a newborn babe or extending the life-span of some oldster. Back in the days of old Sparta the impatient Greeks thought they could solve some of the problems of the earth by destroying at all children who were somewhat weak or deformed or slow- witted. That left only Ihe very strong, of course; but it didn't help Greece, for history snows that the Greeks were exceptionally quarrelsome and warlike and eventually lost their position as a world power.

Favorable to Restoration of Food Rationing By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH Washington.

Oct. 29 Republican Senator Buck said today restoration of wartime food rationing on a "limited scale "might be feasible" in order to aid Europe. The Delaware lawmaker turned thumbs down on return to any form of price control. Buck is a member of the Senate Banking Committee. This group and its House counterpart will consider the price-curbing program which President Truman has announced he will lay before Congress at the special session opening November 17.

Mr. Truman has not d'sclosed details of the plan, but he recently termed rationing and price control the methods of a police state. He said they were necessary in war, but undesirable in peace. But Buck told a reporter: "I think rationing of certain consumer goods might be feasible if we are going to be able to help Europe. I have in mind sucn products as are in demand for export, among them some kinds of meat, as well as butter and lard and shortening." The Delaware Republican said, Opposition Leader, 18 Others indicted in Romania for 'Conniving With the U.

THRASHER Another Edict From Caesar James Caesar Petriho's ban against the making of records and transcriptions by members of his American Federation of Musicians has caused quite a stir. But, to anyone who has lollowed Mr. Pctrillo's career, the move was not unexpected. It was simply the longest and boldest step he nas taken toward two goals which he has long trying-to. reach.

One goal Ts to bring technical progress to a standstill. Mr. Pelrillo hates the radio and its offshoots of the phonograph because, he says they destroy employment opportunities for musicians. Probaoly he can no more slop this progress than the buggy-makers could prevent the development of the automobile. But that doesn't keep him from trying.

The other goal is to reduce the music business to a dead commer- level of full employment. For T-years Mr. Petrillo has been working to minimize, even destroy, the competition arising from the wide variance of artistic skill among union musicians. His attitude is best summed up in his now famous appraisal of Jascha Heifetz: "He's just another fiddler, ain't he?" There is some justice on the AFM president's side. Certainly it is not right that disk jockey should make $400,000 a year at least one is reputed to just for se- announcing and playing 'rtrecprds and reading commercials, while the musicians who make the records get nothing but their initial recording fee.

But there are also injustices and weaknesses. This ban on records and transcriptions will virtually drive the record manufacturers out of business in time. It seriously hamper the operation and entertainment standard of many snial radio stations, and sharply curtail tioning should be set up for wheat, steel and perhaps lumber. "As I see it," Buck added, "we've got a choice of only two things. Either we must curtail our shipments abroad of food and other things, or we must find a way of taking the pressure from prices at home by a system of fair distribution of commodities in de-mand abroad." Reminded that Chester Bowles, former OPA boss, recently told a congressional Sommittee it would take at least six months to set up a rationing program, Buck said that makes no difference.

"We are contemplating long range aid to Europe under the Marshall plan. That means there probably still will be a lot of pressure six months from now. So there is to set up a rationing pro- Bucharest, Romania, Oct. 29 A military tribunal indict ment accused Dr. Juliu Maniu, aged leader of the opposition Na tional Peasant party, today of con niving with U.

S. representatives and striving to bring about foreign intervention in Romania. Eighteen of Maniu's associates also were on trial. They had been under arrest since summer but charges were not specified until to day. (The United States had pro tested twice to Romania about the arrests.) The lengthy indictment asserted that a letter from Dean Acheson, former U.

S. undersecretary of state, had been found in Maniu's secret files and that the letter dis suaded Maniu from using violence "at this moment." The letter was alleged to have been in reference to a meeting in April of Maniu and Burton Y. Berry, U. S. Minister'to Romania.

The indictment alleged that 75 year-old Maniu asked Berry Whether the party should use violence and that the U. S.representative re plied that this was an "essential question" which he would refer to ashington. The indictment asserted that Maniu misinformed Berry of the political situation in Romania and demanded that the United States should send diplomatic notes, which later came. The SO.OOOword indictment asserted that Vasile Serbice, press chief of the National Peasant party which has opposed the leftwing government, acted as go-between for Maniu with U. S.

Petrillo's lawyers argue lha their client has a right to go ou of business.

Most observers attributed the Communist slip to two causes: (1) their recent demands for a purge of the Danish government, and (2) recent Communist moves in other European countries. Members of the Folketing cus tomarily are elected for four years, but yesterday's election was ne cessitated by the downfall of Kris tensen's government on Oct. 4, after the Folketing voted no con fidence in his cc-alition cabinet. The reason for the vote was a charge that the premier had voiced "opinions as a private individual" on a territorial matter which dif fered from the policy established by his cabinet. The question was on procedure and timing of a pleb scite to determine whether South Schlcswig, in Germany just south of the Danish border, should be in corporated into Denmark.

(IP) Teenage kids have their own night club here a modern fun spot run by themselves where soft drinks replace highballs. They call it "The Barn," and it's a big glossy redesigned quonset hul structure with all the interior trimmings of a Manhattan night club.

This unique experiment in recreation for high school children, praised by religious organizations and civic clubs here, originated with a mother who sent a $250 check to Publisher Frank Gannett in a leller asking: "Why isn't there a place for our children lo go and have a good lime wilhout drinking?" Gannetl invesligaled and found lhal problem was worrying many parents who didn't want heir children exposed to adult templalions. "Then I made a check to find out what the children themselves wanlcd most in Ihe way of enler- lainment," said the 71-year-old publisher. "Thev said they wanted a place with a nighl club alinos- phere dancing, food and good music but wilhout liquor." "The Barn" was the outcome. Monroe county officials donated the use of county land on a hilllnal high school urge lu carve init being added. Gannett decided at the starl that it was up to the kids themselves to operate the club.

"I wouldn't have worked out if il had been imposed upon Ihem and grownups had tried to run il," he said. "The Barn" is governed by the board of Ihe Gannett Youth Club, made up of a representative from each of thirty public and parochial high schools in the Rochester area. Executives of two Rochester newspapers act as advisors, but Ihe 'tuen age board members make and enforce the rules. The board voted that no stags would be allowed and set the price at a dollar a couple. Dunc-es are held each Friday and Saturday evening from 9:15 to 12:30 a.
