Taft-Hartley Law Invoked By President

NEW YORK, UP -President Eisenhower called forth the TaftHartley act today to put an end to a Crippling East Coast longshoremens’ strike, and union leaders promised to get the men hack* to work. ' \ The strike of 65,000 dockwallopers began at midnight and shut down east coast ports from Maine , to Virginia. ’ i 1 Patrick iConnolly, executive vice ‘ president of the crime-riddled International Longshoremens* Association, said when he was informed of the President's action: “We'll have the go back to work as soon as we are notified by the proper authorities that the President has acted.’’ Connolly has directed the strike strategy on the New York waterfront in the absence of ILA president Joseph P. Ryan, who is in a „ hospital for observation. President Eisenhower, invoking the Taft-Hartley act, established 7 an emergency board to investigate the dispute and directed it to report to him by midnight Monday. * The White House said the board will hold its first meeting here at 10 a.m. EST Saturday. Mr. Elsenhower said in an ex-* ecutive order that he found, under , this Taft-Hartley act, the strike affected a substantial part of the maritime .industry and if permitted to continue would “imperil the Rational health and safety.” Mr. Eisenhower appointed David L. Cole, of Paterson, N. J., former director of the federal mediation and conciliation service, as chair-, man of the board. The other members are Dr. Harry J. Carman, dean emeritus of Columbia College <in New York and a member of the New York state board of mediation for 15 i years, and Father Dennis J. Comey, a Jesuit known in’Philadelphia as the “dock priest.” . t The President's action was expected to relieve tension >on this city’s sprawling waterfront, where more than l,(X)0 policemen were ready to deal with any- violence between the strikers and longshoremen who have bolted the ILA to join the new union, organibed by the American Federation of Labor when It expelled Ryan’s outfit. At least two luxury liners, the Liberte and the Constitution, docked here without the aid of tug- * boats.-Passengers, aided by super-> visory employes of the steamship lines, carried baggage off the ships. No violence was reported in the early hours of the strike, but ILA . members and organizers of the rival AFL union hurled taunts at each other at some piers. i i.

Await Action By Red China On Deadlock Seen Necessity To Break Deadlock On Korean Conference UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UP — Action by the Chinese Communists was considered today almost a necessity to break the east-west deadlock on the Korean peace conference. Deadline for the conference was set at Oct. 28, and Far Eastern Communists so far have shunned United States’ proposals for a face to work out details. Debate on Korean matters Wednesday was regulated to last place on the agenda of the United Nations political committee at the urging of western nations by a vote of 48-6. The committee today began a week long recess and planned to consider Morocco’s relations with France when it reconvenes next Wednesday. There were only two apparent possibilities for a break in the deadlock holding ,up the conference:- .'\ ■ 1. Agreement by Red China and North Korea to a pre-conference meeting with the United States to work out arrangements. 2. A majority vote in the U.N, general assembly’s political committee to discuss Korean matters immediately. Soviet delegate Andrei Vishinsky challenged the Big Three Western powers td make public statements promising that delegates to the conference would be able to enter into an agreement to invite India and other neutrals to join the confeiees.

Anti-Red North Korean POW's Riot At Camp Protest Visit Os Red Czech, Polish Medical Officers \ PANMUNJOM, Korea UP — Neutral Indian guards killed one anti-tommunlst North Korean and wounded five who joined in a violent riot today visit to their camp hospital of Red Czech and Polish medichl officers. Four or five of the Indian ■guards were injured by stones hurled by the angry North Koreans. > Indian spokesmen said 500 of the North Koreans who have said they prefer death to return to Communism attempted to storm the hospital compound when the ißed medical officers appeared. It was the second anti-Commu-nist demonstration by prisoners turned over to the Indians .to await “explanations” by Red propagandists who hope to convince them to return home. But today’s riot was the first in which blood- . shed has occurred. Brig. Gen. B. M. Kaul said his Indian troops fired 12 rounds from single-shot rifles when the Koreans failed to hefed warnings against attempting to enter the hospital area. Kaul said some North Korean prisoners had climbed over a barbed wire fence when the Indian guards opened fire. Anti-Communist prisoners who have sworn to kill Communist “brainwashing” officers demonstrated simultaneously in other compounds. Kadi said the North Korean prisoners tried to join sick and wounded anti-Communist prisoners ip the hospital compound demonstrating against the inspection team. ■ ■ V The Communist medical officers were met with a shower of stones as they walked towards the hospital. They took refuge in an ambulance, which drove them the remaining distance to the hospital. The non-Communist and Indian members of the team walked to the hospital unmolested. > The shootings ended the riot, the second large demonstration by anti-Clommunist prisoners and the first in which there were casualties. Last week, 500 Chinese prisoners rjoted and seized two Indian soldiers as temporary hostages. They surrendered their captives to Indian Major Gen. S. P.

Ike, Adlai . Confer Today N At White House Stevenson Slated ? I To Give Report On Recent World Tour Washington up -*? Adlai e. Stevenson was expected today to urge President Eisenhower to explore the prospects of a noriaggression pact with Russia. The 1952 Democratic presidential candidate refused, in advance of his White House appointment, to tell what kind of a report he would give on his recent world tour. But, In talks with reporters, he emphasized his keen interest in seeking a non-aggression pact between Russia and the free world, If it failed to produce peace, he said, it would at least clear the air and resolve uncertainties In some parts of the world about Soviet intentions. The former Illinois governor returned from his six month tour of the world feeling there is considerable uncertainty abroad about both America and the Soviet Union. He had in mind particularly th*. millions of people who are aligned neither with the allied world nor the Communist world but stand, uncommitted and sometimes cobfused, between those two great forces. Stevenson was disappointed that more attention wasn’t paid to that part of his recent Chicago speech in which he suggested “a European system of durable assurances of non-aggression* —for Russia as well a for France, for Germany and :■ the rest of us.” " , . ( “If the Soviet Union rejects as- , surances of non-aggression, if the , Red army will not withdraw be- , hind its borders, if an Austrian , peace treaty and German übifi- . cation are impossible except on the Soviet’s terms," he said, "then we , will at least [have cleared the air.

; fee Dangers Mount In State Woodlands State Forests May Be Ordered Closed INDIANAPOLIS, UP -Fire dangers mounted in Indiana’s droughtjtfricken woodlands today, and “State forests may be closed as sF precaution against new out, breaks. Superintendents of 14 state forests were told to use their discretion about closing the forests. Fires already have blackened some nori-state wooded areas in south-central and western Indiana. A rash of small fires and at> least one large scale blaze smoldered late Wednesday. Conservation officials feared the extreme dryness could mean the 16 major fires reported in 448 hours were only a beginning of the perennial fall danger period. State forester Ralph Wilcox said none of the grass arid brush fires have threatened . 210.009 acres of state forests so far “but it would take just one to get > those dry woods going.” i He said almost all forests probably would be closed during the weekend unless a soaking rain eliminates the tinder-like condiwhich only one and one-half inch--ttons 'brought on by 55 dayw in m of rain bare fallen. Wilcox wrote superintendents to close the forests if the local situation warranted. It was believed some areas, including the Clark and Ferdinand forests and Cataract Lake at Cagles Mill,, would remain open during the week. The suggested closing did not apply to state parks, where camp fires have been banned, i The move came after Adj. Gen. H. A. Dohetty announced the Indiana National J Guard would be called out in case of serious fires, and Governor Craig may sign an emergency order banning all outdoor fires if the situation warrants. Meanwhile, volunteers battled at least four new blazes, and a fire which burned 1,500 acres and threatened a little Sullivan county town broke out again in two places. Volunteers kept a 244iour patrol in the smoldering brushlands around Wilfred. To the east, another blaze burned into the night in northwest Morgan County and another near Ellettsville in Monroe County after blackened 150 acres of timberi and grasslands. A second fire near Avoca in Lawrence County swept \over 220 acres of grassland in addition to <Twra T® P—■ «tx»

We hope and believe Our tactical atomic weapons and training are better than thers and we hope ’and plan to keep ahead of them.” Hoge said his 300,000-man army is “in fine shape.” “In peace time,” he said, “we have not had an army equal to it either in quality, training or equipment. There are, of course, minor deficiencies in training and numbers.” Hoge sad if the Soviets attacked tomorrow his army would be in much better shape to face them ’ than were the U.S. troops in Korea. / Hoge said he would welcome the formation of 12 West German divisions, if the European army comes into being, i v “They would fill the gaps presently existing in our defenses,” he said. **We would be able to concentrate our troops to better advantage. I see no serious prob* * lem in having 500,000 German troops alongside our own.” Hoge said that for the past year <Tara Te Pace Wive)

Opposition To Any Sales Tax Grows Steadily 1 Manufacturers Tax - Is Termed As Most Reprehensible Type WASHINGTON, UP —Congres- . sional Democrats said today a [ general manufacturers excise tax i would be just as' bad or worse thait . a retail sales tax. > They professed to be more al- . armed than comforted by Presi- . dent Eisenhower’s remarks at a ( news conference Wednesday. He ■ said the administration will not , ask congress next year to levy a I federal retail sales tax. But he would npt rule out the possibility I that the administration might pro* , pose a general manufacturers tax. j The first statement was receiv- [ ed happily by Republicans, who , had been complaining privately that the Democrats were making political hay out of the very fact ( that the administration was con- ( sidering a sales tax. Some GOP * lawmakers indicated, however. ’ that they wished Mr. Eisenhower ’ had, slammed the door on a gen--1 manufacturers’ U* as W«U*S a retail sales levy. The consensus was that if the administration does propose a general manufacturers tax next year, it will face a tough fight indeed. Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-N. Y.), who usually can be counted onto support the administration, said he would wait for the President’s detailed proposals before taking a stand. But he added: “I have never favored sales taxes. A manufacturers tax is a hidden sales tax.” ißep. Clarence Brown (R-O.) said the whole discussion amounted to with a straw man” because “in my opinion we are not going to pass any kind of a sales tax in the next session of congress.” Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.) said a manufacturers tax would be "the lowest and basest and most reprehensible kind of sales tax.” “The manufacturer isn’t going to pay it,” he said. “He’ll put it onto the wholesaler and he’ll pass it on to the retailer. Then you’ll get it in triple form on the public.” 5 Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (DMinn.) emphatically agreed. “Call a rose by any other name — it smells the same,” he told a reporter. Mooseheart Leader Is Taken By Death Malcolm Giles Dies Early Wednesday iE. J.

Veto Plan To Send Mothers To Korea 1 ■ t • UArmy Rejects Plan Ar Not Advisable WASHINGTON UP — The army has turned down a plan to let the mothers of 23 “progressive” American prisoners go to Korea to try to talk their sons out of staying with their Communist captors. "It is considered neither practical nor advisable that they go to Korea,” the army said in a statement It pointed out that there are certain “problems” which it feels makes such a program impossible to carry out. The California executive committee of the American Legion ap pealed to President Eisenhower Sunday to authorise the mothers “to personally visit with their sons and discuss ’their renunciation of American citizenship.” In rejecting the plan, the army said it has “the deepest sympathy and shares in the distress felt Jby the families of these men and fully understands their desire to persuade their sons and husbands to return to the United State* ” While barring the mothers from going to Korea, the army said it will try to deliver' “several communications” already received for some of the prisoners. The army held out a faint hope that relatives might eventually get to see the men. It noted that the armistice agreement provides that prisoners not wishing repatriation shall be released to “civilian status” after 120 days. “Thereafter," the army said, “a meeting with his mother, father or any other relative will undoubtedly be a matter which the man himsejf can bring about when he desires to do so.”
