Prices Flexible

watch prices go up despite the

frozen at May 25-June 25 levels—as proposed last summer——consumers would ‘have been saved $10 billion since then's”

Nothing else it can do, now ‘that President Truman has sided with Snyder, realists point out.

Snyder wants interest rates kept low to held down costs of financing public

it could be done. Far East intelligence sayys Chinese have pulled out all their good troops from South China, even stripping airfields of anti-aircraft guns; have left only 60,000 to 80,000 poorly trained militia fn Chekiang and Fukien

Reds to pull out of Korea— and Nationalist force might get as far as Nanking.

'U. S., Britain For Bases to
Cairo-Ceylon Flank Exposed
By GORDON CUMMING Compiled from the Wire Services United States and British defense experts are co-operating in a survey, of air and sea power bases in the Near and
' Mjddle Bast to fill gaps in a
defensive “crust” on the Soviet perimeter, authoritative quarters said in London yesterday. . They noted that the Atlantic Pact countries have bases extending from the Aleutians through the Pacific to Singapore in the East and through Alaska and Greenland to Northern Africa in the West but, that there is a ‘gaping flank” between Cairo and Ceylon, The need for bases, protected
by sea, which tan be used for .
long range bombing operations was said to have prompted a fresh survey and agreement between the United State and Britain to co-operate in thselection of such bases. The sources said the Unites States has asked for “furthefacilities” in British airfields ir the Middle and Near Eas’ where the United States A’ Force has rights of transit ar temporary training. Alternate Base The United States was under stood to have asked for the use of airfields in Cyprus which
must be extended to enable long
range bombers to operate, Cyprus also has been suggested as an alternative British base to the Suez Canal zone, but authoritative quarters stressed that no decision had yet been taken in ‘this respect. ~ Maritsa Airfield on the Island of Rhodes also is being developed to accommodate “the largest four-engine commercial aircraft,” but according to of-
ficial quarters no regular inter-«
national air traffic is scheduled for stops at Rhodes. In Greece, Hellenikon Airport is being extended. Heraklion airfield on the Isignd of Crete is being surveyed, while in the Sudan the runway at Khartoum Airport is being extended. More Difficult
These bases: are 'being considered for development in addition to several other British bases between Gibraltar and Aden, But from there on to
Singapore the question of .
Anglo-American co - operation in the selection or acquisition of bases becomes more difficult, authoritative quarters said. The sources said the ponderable relations between India and Pakistan, uncertainties in Afghanistan’s foreign policy and the possible military or political defection of Iran all had to be taken into account in the western nations plans to strengthen the chain. They said Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is expected to visit Turkey and Greece on his return to Europe.
Italy :
ITALY'S Communist partisan association, long known as “the army” of the party, was split today over the issue of Italian nationalism vs. blind obedience to Moscow. Vittorio Pellizzi,
tisans Association (ANPI), quit in Bologna, after the group refused to declare its loyalty to Itdly and willingness to defend Italian frontiers against id aggressor—including Russia. The breech developed after two Communist deputies, Valdo Magnani and Aldo Cucchi-—
both Partisan heroes—left the
party for the same nationalistic reasons. Mr. Pellizzi’'s withdrawal increased the seriousness of what non-Communists called “a rebellion of intellectuals” against party doctrine. In Bologna, a group of intellectuals was reported preparing a denunciation of the party for following Moscow's line without question.

Mr. Chou added that he would “1y “absolutely no attention’ to the Good Offices Commission set up by the American resolution approved by the Assemhl day. The Peiping statement, in the view of some mediation-minded delegations, was the expected consequence of naming any nation as an aggressor--a move that the United Nations never had taken before. His words, they felt, were intended mainl to uphold government prestige.
Great Britain
GREAT BRITIAN'S hopes for a negotiated peace in Korea have not been blasted by the radio broadcast of
Foreign Office spokesman said yesterday. The spokesman said Britain believed the United Nations Good Offices Commission should meet as quickly as possible and make every effort to work out a cease fire.
The statement made it clear that Britain intends to go slow in any United Nations attempt to invoke sanctions against Communist China, despite the American view that Chou Enlai’s broadcast was a flat rejection of the United Nations peace-making.
India
PRESIDENT TRUMAN has decided to ask Congress for swift approval of a gift jof 2 million tons of food grains to India’s starving millions, officials disclosed in Washington yesterday. . The decision, certain to arouse heated \ Congressional debate, was made despite India’s stern opposition to U. 8S. demands in the United Nations that Communist China be branded an aggressor.

Voice of Americc
SEN. WILLIAM E. BENTON {D., Conn.) said yesterday the Btate Department's overseas information program has failed and that he may ask for an Investigation on whether the program should be taken away from the Department. This drew an immediate plea from Secretary of State Dean Acheson urging .Congress to make a most careful study before even considering a transfer. Mr. Acheson said removal might impair the ‘vigor and momentum” of the program. Mr. Benton and Mr. Acheson disputed what the program has accomplished, as part of the world struggle against communism., Mr. Benton said it was a “tragic fact” that it “hasn't even begun to be the vital part of our national strategy it should be.” Mr. Acheson countered that “my own judgement is” that is has become exactly

But after the United States limited Hungarian diplomats to the Washington area, France ‘began to study a similar crackdown against Russian satellite diplomats, Paris is the diplomatic crossroads of the world, with a large number of eastern European diplomats either stationed here or cons‘antly passing through.

U.S. Put on Spot in UN As Asiatics Turn Backs
By ERNIE HILL
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Feb. 3 (CDN)—United States and British delegates were disturbed today over the prospect of continuing to press an Asia policy which is disapproved of by the leading non-Communist countries of Asia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Burma and Afghanistan, U. 8. Delegate Warren Austin is obviously relieved at having won United Nations approval for calling Red China an aggressor. This placates Congress and American public opinion. It also preserves some United Nations integrity at a time when its stock was very low. But these gains are offset by the act of alienating the very countries we are trying in their efforts to withstand the expansionist conquest of Chinese and Russian communism. Sides With Russia Ordinarily it would be sup-
posed these countries would,
cry loudest for United Nations action to condemn aggression in their part of the world. Instead, they side with Russia or steer a neutral course. “We are confronted with the serious problem of trying to repair this dangerous split,”
says one American spokesman.

“We feel that the aggression resolution was necessary. “But now we must get the non-Communist countries of Asia to see it. to fight a battle for them that they themselves think should be handled differently.” The Asian countries generally want a conference of leading world countries to discuss ll Far East problems, U. 8. Wants No Part They make no secret of what they want-—Red China in the United Nations and the American fleet out of Formosan waters. Since the State Department's current public stand on these matters provides opposition to both, the United States wants no part of a Far East conference unless it has enough sup-
port at the conference to back:
its position, Red China and the United States are as far apart as ever on settling their differences. Either Peiping or Washington must weaken its stand if there is to be any agreement and neither indicates such a shift, British delegates say it is obvious that the western world cannot. fight for. the independence and integrity of Asian countries that disapprove of our sacrifice.
