Favors Use Os Atom Weapons In Korean War Senator Says Atom Weapons Can Stop p Communist Drive Washington. Nov. 9 — (UP> - Sen. Zales N. Ecton (R Mont.) su’d today the United States now has available for use in Korea tactical atomic ’weapons capable of stopping any all-out Communist offensive. Ecton, a member of the senate appropriations committee, was an official' observer at \ the recent tests of atomic weapons at Irenchman’s Flat. Nev. He saw a so-called "medium” ( A-bomb dropped from an airplane on Oct. 30. Ecton told newsmen that he returned to Washington after the tests more satisfied with the progress, of our atomic project.” This progress, he added, has been “very substantial." In reply to reporters’ questions, Ecton said he favored using atomic weapons in Kprea “as a defensive measure" if the Communists hurl an all-obt attack against United Nations forces. V “There’s no use having our boys massacred if we can protect them — and we can,” he said. Ecton said we have* weapons'? capable of protecting ground forces "in the sense artillery protects them.” “But they are not artillery.” he said. “They are bombs.” •’,? Ecton emphasized that he believes these new weapons would be effective against any Red. attack —nq matter how powerful. “If they want to throw the works at us, they can be stopped.” hie said. He added that the weapons now are available “in sufficient lumbers" to accomplish this purpose. I Ecton said he did not know just where this stockpile of atomic weapons is, but that “they are available.” He made? it 'clear that he favors using them if an ail-out Communist attack occurs. Melvin, Price, who also watched the decent atomic tests, said they bolsteredthe belief that ’ atomic bombs, in the proper place, could be used for tactical idvantage."

Amish School Hot I j. ■ I ' Approved By State ? State School Head Answers Queries The 1 establishment of a private school is not a sin in itself, according to the Indtana attorney geperal’s office, -but its standards should be able to sustain a certain scrutiny by officials. . This U the crux of the reply re-ft-ehed in Adams county from vtate superintendent of schools Wilbur Young in reply to a letter? from prosecutor Severin Schurger. The exchange grew out of three J affidavits filed in justice of \the peace Earl Da Wald's court in Geneva claiming the newly-created Amish school in Wabash township is a “public nuisance.” The complaints were filed against John Girod, Gletus Christner and Noah Wengerd, The school started punctually endugfa, when other schools in the county opened their doors following the summer’s vacation, but it has run up against stiff revolt from officials. For- example, not being accredited. the Amish school is not considered in attendance records —and as far as approval is concerned, state superintendent Young said he had never given his. He has not done so, he said, “because there 'has been no information furnished me as to how the school is set up .the composition of the teaching staff or their staff or their qualifications. . .’’ \ The school is also the subject of a flurry of resolutions by the county’s trustees, who as a body form the Adams county board of education, one of them stating that the attendance should file charges against parents of children who are absent and another that refuses to permit consideration of a school, which fails to meet the educational and housing standards maintained by thd state for its \ The Amish school is continuing more on an idea apparently than the concrete foundation of facilities and competent staff, according to some of the reports. The same school was also the subject of severa! discussions between Amish officials and superintendent Foley, the latter outlining what must he (Tuni To Pose Six) Candidate Expense Deadline December 6 v County clerk Ed Jabeng today reminded all candidates In the recent Decatur, and Berne city elections they are required to file campaign expenses in his office on or oefore December 6.

New Control Orders \ To Increase Prices i Price Dams Opened By Capehart Bill Washington, Nov. 9. —(UP) — The government’s price dams opened today for a flood of requests for higher ceiling prices from about a fourth of the nation’s manufacturers. 4 Price stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle said the requests would laud] to higher authorized price* for; “a great trtany” m'Snufat*wrers. Rut he held out hope that the current overall price level could be maintained. DiSalle last night cleared the way f6r the price increases by issuing orders permitting some 70,000 manufacturers to compute new ceiling prices on items ranging from furniture to salad dressings. The manufacturers’ pricing order was issued under the so-called "Capehart amendment” to the, new price control law. The price :increases will be pyramided by the time they reach consumers because of wholesalers’ and retailers’ percentage markups. L Other controls develqpments: 1. The national production authority suspended purchases of tin for the government's emergency stockpile and ordered all tin purchases turnled over directly ter industrial use.

William Nuckols, the delegation spokesman, said the Communists adopted “what might be termed an elusive attitude” during the morning. “I got the impression, and so did the delegation, that today was a day of transition—a day of no decision, another day of stalling,” Nuckols said.

Yugoslavia Appeals | To UN Assembly To Take Up Aggressive i Actions By Russia 1 | Paris, Nov. 9.— (|JP)— Yugoslavia appealed to the United Nations general assembly today to take up aggressive actions by Soviet Russia and its satellites'against Marshal Tito as an “important ahd. matter. The Yugoslavs injected the «x- \ plosive Yugoslav-Soviet bloc problem into the assembly after American delegate Philip C.| Jessup challenged Russia to begin disarmament tafk«i at once With the States. He accused the Soviet of merely trying to ddlay discussion by suggesting a disarmament conference by next June 1. Delegates off smaller countries ■, warmly supported the. United Sta|es-British-French disarmament proposals. ( They appealed to Russia to stop 1 its aggressive actions before it ! reached “the point of no return” and plunged the world into the “terrible disaster” of War. . f They also demanded that the UN strengthen collective security to discourage aggressive countriesl or tight them if necessary. Australian foreign minister Richard G. Casey, fresh from a to war-torn Korea, tbld Soviet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vlshinskyi “ElWei - the Communist and nonCommunist countries will find a means of living together peacefully . in the world or they will run into disaster, with consequences almosit impossible to imagine. “II the Soviet ■ Union is indeed anxious to avoid this terrible disaster then let it not press beyondj the ipoint of no return. Let it act in time and let i| act with clarity to demonstrate tkiat it does in desire peace.” . Delegates of New Zealand and - Cuba took the same line. They supported the new United States-Brit- 1 ish-French disarmament proposals , and urged that UN countries build up their strength both individually and through collective security pacts to resist aggression. At a press conference, American UN delegates Philip C. Jessup challenged Russia to start disarmament talks at once, instead of by next June 1, as Vighinsky proposed. The only significance of Vishinsky's proposal for a conference nearly seven months from now w’as to bypass the United Nations and ' delay the start of any disarmament talks. . Cuban foreign minister Aureliano Sanchez Arango foreshadowed approval of the allied disarmament proposals by the entire powerful 20-nation Latin-American bloc in expressing : his owjn country’3‘ approval of them. Jessup met the press while delegates of smaller nations were addressing the UN general assembly in the general debate on how td halt t|he cold war. 1 * The United Stated. Jessup said, wants to start disarmament talks right now, right here in the world organization—not pext June outside the UN.' ■! < He spoke on the record but declined any direct quotations. Jessup served notice that the three western powers will press for immediate action on their program for disclosing and reducing all atomic and other weapons of War. The west will not be deterred by the program expounded by- Soviet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky, yesterday, Jessup said.| The U.S., Britain and France will request later today that their plan be placed formally on the assembly k agenda tor presentation to the main political committee early next week. They are assured of sufficient votes to gain approval of that procedure. 1 • 1 Paper Pickup ; ■ 1 ■ Decatur Boy Scbuts \will make their regular papteir pickup in the city Saturday.
