' The next Soviet offense is expected late today when the As sembly's fifty-five nation policy j ' and security , committtee opens debate on the Creek case. , . It will be the first crucial East-West battle on a specific problem. The United States considers it the most important single issue before the Assembly and will try to get the Assembly to set up a "watchdog" commission in Greece a Security Council move that Russia vetoed. In the Security Council, Russia threatened to block the admission of Italy to the United Nations unless the western powers permit the entry of Soviet-sup-. ported Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. . '-.. Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko laid down Russia'3 terms in the Security Council in the face of pledges by the United St3tes and Creat Britain to block the three eastern European states while trying to get a Unted Niations'seat for Italy. Gromyko said he was how willing to support the Italian membership application which he vetoed last month because the Allied peace treaty with Italy was not then in effect but only on the condition that Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Finland were admitted simultaneously. Speaking after . the United States, Britain, France, Belgium, Australia and Brazil 'had formally supported the new Italian application, Gromyko said the Potsdam conference of 1945 treated all five of Germany's former satellites without discrimination.

Zasazsky spearheaded the intense campaign with an article in the periodical called "The Literary Gazette." He said that President Truman .wag not satisfied to be the ruler of merely all the Americas and a considerable part of Asia.

TRUMAN ASKS AMERICANS TO WASTE LESS FOOD AND SAVE MORE FOR EUROPE President Names Citizens' Committee To Plan Program Of Conservation , Of Food. ' WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (UP) President Truman today set in motion a wasteless food campaign and said he is still seeking- some stop-gap aid for hungry Europe without a special session of Congress, if possible. He revealed at a twenty-seven minute press conference that the main reason for summoning Congressional leaders to the White House for a conference Monday was to determine what immediate steps could be taken for providing

prompt aid for Europe. INDICT POLICE OFFICER FOR MURDER PRINCETON, Ind., Sept. 25 (UP) Lawrence Johnson, a village police officer who admitted he shot and killed a prisoner as he was escorting him to jail at Oakland City over two weeks ago, was indicted on a first degree murder charge today. Johnson, a 48-year-old assistant town marshall in the . small coal mining community, was accused of slaying Robert Miller on the side walk in front of a tavern. i , Johnson, who has been held in the Knox County Jail, at Vincennes at his own request because he feared possible mob violence, previously had said that he shot Miller in self defense. Circuit Judge A. Dale Eby' after x reading the indictment, ordered Johnson transferred to the Gibson County Jail ,: from Vincennes to await trial. ' ' The indictment charged premeditated murder. It was returned by the Gibson County grand jury after nearly four days of in quiry into the case. Judge Eby said that Johnson would be arraigned in Gibson Coiunty-court at 9 a. m. tomor row. HEAVY SPENDING SEEN IPfCOUNTY rUR KARM HOMES ' Wbn,, families in" Sullivan Counfj-r will' spend more than $1,310,000, for new housing in the next three to five years, accordiftgf to a forecast released by, the file Council of America. "As a result of high incomes during the last few years, farmers in every part of the nation are prepared to invest record amounts in new home construction and in general fam, improvemenst," said F. B. Ortman, chairman of the Council's 1 residential construction committee. Pointing out that the comforts and conveniences of urban living are now available to farm families, Ortman said many new rural homes will incorporate such features as central heating, tiled bathrooms and modern kitchen facilities. Electrification of rural areas of Indiana is making possible the incorporation in new homes of many labor-saving and comfortproviding devices undreamed of a generation ago, according to Ortman. Rural Electrification Administration estimates disclose that more than 81 per cent of all farms in the state now receive' central station electric service. Refrigerators, electric washing machines and deep freezeing plants, as well as plumbing systems, will go into many new homes as a consequence. . FROST DAMAGES CORN CROP WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.

PRICE THREE CENTS

As a starting point he set up a citizens' food committee to develop a nation-wide conservation program so that more food will be available to hungry Europe without forcing food prices up higher than they are at present. Not Eat Less. Mr. Truman emphasized that he is not asking the American people to eat less as Senator Robert A. Taft. R., Ohio, proposed recently but to waste less. As an example, he said that the bread thrown away in this country is equal to about 70,000,000 bushels of grain a year. Mr. Truman also: "" 1. Left up to Congress whether rationing and price , controls should be restored.. As to whether he would recommend the restoration of rationing, President Truman said he would have to see after he got all the facts. 2. Hinted that he may recommend to the nation that it observe two meatless days a week. 3. Recommended more selective food buying by the American housewife, particularly of meat products. 4. Disclosed that he would discuss with Congressional leaders whether, legislative action is needed to attend to the current food crisis. 5. Refused to say whether the emergency stop-gap aid for Europe would rule "but a tax cut for next year. 6. Announced a recommenda- ' tion by the special cabinet food committee that farmers feed less j grain tq their livestbcfc. . 7. Prajsed the! initial ; report of I the sixteen . .Western , European J nations which . estimated their needs during the next four years under the' Marshall plan as S22,- ; 440,000,000. . .. ' i ; Food Conservation. J , As for high' prices "at;, home, j Mr.i Truman jread his. cabinet food j committee s , , statement, pointing ut.that'.-an' all-out drive" for food conservation at home is the only way to increase the' available .food supply for hungry Europe and relieve the inflationary pressure at home. ' .- ' And to get the conservation program rolling, Mr. fTruman named Charles Luckman of Cambridge, Mass., president of Levers Brothers, as chairman of the citizens' committee. In analyzing the food situation, Mr. Truman said the adverse weather here and in Europe would produce a food shortage this winter even larger than- last winter's. Active exports to Europe would not equal those of last year. The United States cannot rest on this export prospect, he said. "To ship food abroad without adjusting the domestic demand would aggravate our own price situation." INSTALL ATOMIC ENERGY FURNACE AT OAK RIDGE WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (UP) The Atomic Energy Commission said today that a bigger and better nuclear furnace at Oak Ridge, Tenn., would be installed, at which scientists will attempt to discover atomic mysteries now beyond their research. The "new high-flux reactor", the commission said, will be "several times more powerful than the existing Oak Ridge pile." It will be used for experiments requiring neutron ' intensities not now available. Everett McKinley, of Paxton.
