TRUMAN SAYS AMERICA WILL GIVE ALL AID FOR UNITED NATIONS SUCCESS President Warns Against Feeling Of Failure Of United Nations In Talk To Brazilian Congress. RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Sept. 5. (UP) President Truman said today that the United States is determined to support the United Nations with ."all the resources at our , command" but warned that "it will take stiff steadfastness, unremitting: toil and infinite patience to make the United Nations work."

Mr. Truman spoke to ithe joint session of the Brazilian Congress. He told them that the nations of the Western Hemisphere have demonstrated to the world that . right-thinking men can submerge "individual preferences and individual aims" to reach agreements that will bring "great benefit to the world." . The President warned against any "expression of dismay" in the world over the failure of the fledgling organization.. Mr. Truman also held out 'the promise to war-devastated nations that neither Brazil nor the United States would forget them jn their need. He praised the Brazilians and the Americans for making great sacrifices during the war, although both were spared the actual war devastation.' "I am confident," he said, "that Brazil and the United States will be faithful to the great trust on which depends the lives and liberties of so many millions of the world's discouraged and disappointed peoples." Mr. Truman addressed the Bra- . zilian Congress just three days after the conclusion of the Inter- . American Defense Conference and said that conference would go down in history as a milestone toward the outlawing' of force in international relations and the establishment of peace and order. V "In some quarters," vhe said, "one hears expressions of dissatisfaction in the accomplishments thus far of the United Nations. This must not deter us in our . constant efforts to build a world organizatoin which the world so badly needs. "First we must keep in mind 1 , that the United Nations was not , intended to settle the problems rising immediately out of the war, but to maintain international peace after just settlements have been made. "The United Nations was not ! born fully developed by the signing of the charter at San Francisco. It will take steadfastness of purposes, unremitting toil, and infinite patience to achieve1 our goals." Then Mr. Truman said the Unit- j ed States is determined to supply t the United Nations with all possible resources. 1 C 1 0 ENDORSES AMERICAN LABOR PARTY SARATOGA SPRINGS , N. Y., Sept. 5 (UP) The New York State C.I.O. today adopted a resolution endorsing the American labor party in a disorderly session which brought charges and counter-charges from the 1,200 delegates. 1 Opponents of the resolution became so disorderly that President 'Louis Hollander had to adjourn . early to . keep the convention from disintegrating. Main opposition to the resolu- . tion came from Jack Blumenstein, director of the textile workers union, who argued that the union should not endorse the American labor party but should count on the C.I.O. political action committee in the coming campaign , Delegates' from the United 1 Automobile Workers also opposed the resolution. When Hollander announced that the resolution had received a majority vote, opponents of the measure jumped to their feet demanding a roll call. They demanded that ' the convention floor be cleared of all visitors, charging that "tha visitors" were voting on the resolution. Hollander rapped the gavel for order several times and finally had to adjourn the session.

STRIKE FORCES STEEL HEARTHS TO BE CLOSED PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 5 (UP) Employees of the United States Steel Corporation's Union Railroad Company struck today, forcing the virtual closing of the corporation's four big Monongahela Valley plants, which produce 20,000 tons of steel a day. The corporation reported furnace operations at the mill, which had been scheduled to operate at 108.4 per cent of index capacity this week, would be reduced to a single blast furnace and several open hearths, More than 33,000 workers face a layoff. The walkout of 1,000 employees of the railroad was ordered by the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and the brotherhood of railroad trainmen to enforce demands for a wage increase and some 40 . changes in operating rules. This drastic cutback began less than twenty-four hours after the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the steel shortages .were important factors in the record-breaking level of wholesale prices. a! United""st"ates spokesman said that much of the lost steel production had been earmarked for ,railroad cars construction to alleviate the severe shortage of

rolling stock. MRS. R. T. KNOTTS DIES TODAY Mrs. Rachel T. Knotts, age 78, of Carlisle, died at the Mary Sherman Hospital this morning at 3:15 o'clock.

Sullivan's Golden Arrows will travel to Bicknell tonight to pry the lid off the 1947 football season with a game against the Bulldogs. The game will be played at Hooper Field in the Knox County town and will start at 7:30 p. m. The locals will be seeking their twelfth straight victory over tha host team and will be trying to get off on the right step in their first Southern Indiana Conference game. Not since 1935 have the Bulldogs been able to down the Arrows, and the long string of defeats is beginning to rankle the Bicknell fans. After the Arrows stopped Bicknell by 38 to 12 last year, the Bulldogs improved to such an extent, that late in the season they held the powerful Linton Miners to a 7 to 0 margin. Because it is one of only two games that will be played in this area Friday night, it is expected that the game will be well scoutedjby other schools that play the two teams later in the season. Nothing definite has been decided on the Bicknell starting line-up, and Coach Garland Frazier said that the way his team opens the game will depend on last-minute decisions. The Bulldog line will be lighter than .it was last year, with the backfield about the same weight. The Bicknell squad will stress speed, and deception more , this year than they have in the past. , I Thf Arrows will linp tin with an average line, but with inexperienced ends. The three men that Coach Jones was counting on are all out of school. Davenport has moved to Linton where he is ifirst string end, Spoonmore is ineligible, and Grable has left school, The backs are slower than the usual set of Sullivan backs, and the punting is weak. In fact, Coach Jones is worried about the game. It is expected that a large number of local fans will follow the team to Bicknell.

PREMIER GETS FRENCH VOTE OF CONFIDENCE PARIS, France, Sept. 5 (UP) Socialist Premier Paul Ramadier won his fifth vote of confidence since January in the National Assembly today, 292 to 243, with 54 abstaining. The vote came after he had accused the Com-, munists of exploiting a strike wave threat to undermine the Republic. The Assembly voted confidence in Ramadier's government as 500,000 Parisian workers prepared to engage in a ninety-minute protest strike and mass demonstration, both under the Communist leadership. , ' The bearded socialist leader put the issue squarely up to the Assembly, who voted confidents in the government to deal with the crisis besetting the nation. Ramadier flung his most pointed remarks at the Communists in his charges against' them. He said "disloyal elements" were exploiting1 the unrest for political purposes. The Communists sat coldly silent while the rest of the Chamber cheered. HOSPITAL NOTES Admitted Sept. 4: Mrs. Maude Ransford of Shelburn for observation.

Four persons were fined $50 each and costs and their drivers' licenses suspended for 90 days yesterday. After this the mayor issued the following public statement: "I want everybody to know and want you to tell your friends who have the habit of drinking intoxcaiting liquors and then trying to drive, that they are in for a rough time in Wabash City Court. From today on, until my term ends on Jan. 1, every man and woman convicted in my court on a drunk driving charge will receive a jail or penal farm sentence. "We have been terribly lenient in these cases.. We have tried to be fair and treat all alike. And that is what we are going to do from now on treat all alike. Business executive or ditch digger will get a jail or penal farm sentence. "Taverns and clubs which legally dispense drinks should govern themselves accordingly and see to it that no driver drinks too much. Some of you wives had better get your husbands lined up, too, or you will be 'widows' for a time. "I am issuing this . general warning so if and when you get caught, don't blame the city court if you spend from one to three months with the sheriff instead of with your family."

in MARKETS

In Washington, the Department

of Labor's Bureau of Statistics told the story in . percentages. Food prices were up 14 per cent since the first of the year. Last month, in August, prices increased 2.4 per cent. But the housewife, more concerned with putting three meals a day on the table for her family than in statistics, already knew the story. She knew that each day she had to dig a little deeper into her purse to keep her family eating. ' ' In ,San Francisco, bacon cost 36 cents a pound more today than it did a year ago. In Omaha, a rib roast was selling for 86 cents a pound, and the same store was selling it for 36 cents a pound a year ago. Buttered toast was a luxury in New York, where butter was costing 91 cents a pound, compared to the price last year of 59 cents, A quart of milk cost 19 cents in Washington, D. C. It cost 20 cents a quart in most other cities. Last year it cost only 17 cents a quart. There was no prediction of a drop in prices being "just around the corner." Instead, New York experts predicted that butter would rise to $1 a pound across the nation. 1 Some Pacific Coast cities were getting $1 a pound for it now. At Chicago, where most of the nation's meat Is butchered, cattle sold at generally from $26.50 to $33 a hundredweight, with the price of grain increasing . daily and the cattle price also increasing. REPUBLICANS n WLL SELECT CANDIDATE RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 5 (UP) Battle lines were drawn today for the Tenth District Congressional nomination, ! which appeared to have boiled down to a race between a newspaper editor and a state official. Republican leaders from ten counties in the district meet here at 10 a. m. tomorrow to nominate a man they hope will win in a special election on Nov. 4 to succeed the late Representative Raymond Springer, Republican, j The names of the potential J candidates were mentioned in tha : pre-convention activity, but par ty leaders said the strongest appeared to be Leo Kinman, editor of the Shelbyville Republican, and Ralph Harvey, New Castle, chairman of the state budget committee and a member of the Indiana House of Representatives. The Democrats will caucus next Monday in Muncle.- Frank Hanley, Muncie, was reported to be favored most by the majority of the committmen to oppose whoever the Republicans pick here tomorrow. The denial in New York by Philip Willkie, 28-year-old law student son of Wendell Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential candidate, that he was a candidate for Congress, came hours after party leaders said he wouldn't have a chance. Willkie's candidacy was announced by Charles Myers, Bush County Republican chairman who said today it was "a gesture to use the name of Willkie in district politics." Myers said he knew that young Willkie didn't have a chance to be nominated. Others mentioned for the nomination were Dr. L. J. Pittinger, president-emeritus of Ball State Teachers College; State Representative Lothair Peteor, Hagerstown, industrialist; Walter Claspell, Muncie labor leader, and Mrs. Mary Benemum, Tenth District Republican vice-chairman.
