ff H a v b B 3 h jp mixm ' - V - i Dockhands Join French Strike For Pay Increase PARIS, Oct. 13 (UP) Thousands cf dockhands joined more man ouu,vuu inner essential French workers today in strikes for more pay1. Premier Henri Queuille and his full cabinet discussed wage proposals designed to settle the strikes at a three-and-a-half hour meeting during the morning. But there was no announcement of any decisions. The striking dockhands are affiliated with 'the Communistled General Confederation of Labor (CGT). They said they would remain out for 24 ( hours in protest against wage scales. Dockhands affiliated with the non-Communist workers' ' force remained at work. First reports from Bordeaux, La Rochelle and Dunkerque said the strike already had halted loading and unloading of cargoes there. One bright spot in the na tional strike situation was a back-to-work movement among railway workers: The railways, particularly in the east, were apDroaching normal operations. Work was resumed at Chalons-Sur-Marne and Eperney on the eastern line. Both stations had been occupied by strikers previously. Only Charleville, Mohon and Lumes remained in strikers hands on the eastern line. A new strike broke at the Brest rail terminal, however. Although the situation was calm, government ' sources admitted a creeping industrial paralysis was underway because of the 10-day-old coal strike, scattered railroad tieups and walkouts in ports, textile mills and steel plants. One million tons of production I already mines. have been lost in the fl III Danr DsflinC IiUi DQIIi IXHUlJJf Cameras At Games BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Oct. 13. Indiana University, following the custom of other Big wine schools, forbids the use of radios and cameras and other photographic equipment by fans at football games played in Memor ial Stadium. Athletic Director Paul J. Harrell, explaining the action, pointed out that Indiana is simply adhering to Western conference regulations. "The great majority of our students and fans look upon radios as a nuisance," he said. "The rule against photographic machinery, except by authorized personnel, was set up as a protection to the Coach and the team against pictures taken for scouting purposes by future foes." Harrell said the only exception to the radio rule is a blind coed student. Although checking facilities are made available in the Fieldhouse, the I. U. director urged fans not to bring either to the Ohio State and Notre Dame games. DR. RAMSAY NAMED TO OFFICE Dr. Hazel Ramsay of Sullivan, was renamed secretarytreasurer of the Indiana Chiropractor Association at the meeting in Terre Haute yesterday.

Thomas E. Dewey called a "lunatic" for backing into a crowd gathered around the rear platform of his train 1 in Illinois last night said today that Dewey censured him "with- ' out thinking." Lee Tindle, who said he'd' been an engineer for 30 years and never had an accident, said Dewey was "about as dumb as I was to make a mistake like that." Tindle admitted he was at fault for overshooting a water spout and backing up. "But I only moved a few feet," he said. "Anybody could have crawled out of the way. Anyhow, nobody told me there was supposed to be a speech at that point." Tindle said he wasn't completely to blame. He said some other member 01 tne crew should have been watching the . rear. j "It's just making a lot of (misery for me," Tindle said. "The company won t appreciate this bad advertising." "Governor Dewey was just upset because it disturbed his speech," he added. "I'm just as sorry as he is." Tindle said many of his friends had told him he "ouffht to sue Governor Dewey for everything he's got." ! "But I'm not going to do that." Tindle said. "It would be foolt ish." ' Tindle said he wouldn't hesi tate to pilot another, Dewey train later on if assigned to it. "Nobody's going 'torun me off," he said. ! Asked if the incident would influence his vote November 2 in the Presidential race, Tindle said it wouldn't. , "I wasn't going to vote for Dewey in the first place," he said.

Truman Hopes Campaign Won't Affect Peace EN ROUTE WITH TRUMAN, Oct. 13 (UP) President Truman, campaigning through Wisconsin on his way to Minnesota, said today that it was "too bad" that there had to be an elecion in the United States at this time of world uncertainty. The President made an unscheduled stop at Altoona, Wis., to tdlk to a crowd estimated at 500 or 600 persons. Discussing the International situation briefly, he said that he hoped the fact that there had to be a campaign at this time would not affect United States' lead ership in the search for, peace. Mt Truman said he was trying to keep the campaign ' on a high level and to preserve the bi-partisan foreign policy. In an earlier stop at Adams, Wis., he praised the principles of the late U. S. Sen. Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin. He said LaFollette, who was Presidential candidate in 1924 of the old Progressive party, should have been a Democrat because he believed in the same principles. "There is just one' issue ins.this campaign and that is the people against special interests," Mr. Truman ... said. , .'Wisconsin has never been for special interest. I remember old Bob LaFollette started out first thing to make Wisconsin conscious of the fact that people come first, and not the people who have the pull. You know, he ought to have been a Democrat. He preached Jefferson, Jackson and Woodrow Wilson right along." The President was 1 heading for Minnesota, to try to knock one of the Taft-Hartley law's editors out of the Senate.

During his German assignment, he observed at close range the crucial currency ireform period in the Western occupation zones and in Berlin.) By George Pipal United Press Staff Correspondent FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct. 13 (UP) Western Germany, the fettered industrial giant of Middle Europe, is heading into economic boom. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American military governor, called the accelerating recovery in the Anglo-American zcyies "miraculous" after a personal inspection tour of the vital Ruhr district.

PARIS, Oct. 13. (UP) Russia closed the door tonight against any early compromise on the Berlin crisis by demanding that the case be withdrawn from the United Nations Security Counc'l as the first step toward any settlement. . Russia answered a compromise proposal which Juan A. Bramuglia, Security Council chairman, took to Andrei Vishinsky. Sources close to the Big Three said the Soviet answer was unsatisfactory. . Bramuglia called on Vishinsky and talked with him for an hour. He received the Soviet reaction to the conciliation effort undertaken by the Argentine delegate an answer which doomed the undertaking since it left the East and the West as far apart as ever. Vishinsky made it plain that before the Soviets even would' entertain an idea of a Berlin settlement, the Western Big Three must cancel their charges in the Security Council that the Russians were threatening world peace by the Berlin blockade. T : : ' The Russian answer resolved

Food Prices Show Decline For Fifth Week NEW YORK, Oct. 13 (UP) Wholesale food prices showed a decline for the fifth consecutive week, Dun & Bradstreet reported today. The decline from last week was three cents in the total price per pound index which covers 31 foods. The index this week was $6.48, the lowest level since July 8, 1947, when it was 6.41. It compared with $6.51 in the preceding week and 6.85 a year ago. ... The -all-time high' was - $7.36 set on July 13, 1948. The alltime low was $1.49 on Jan. 31, 1933. Although there were advances in the prices of 13 of the 31 foods, the nine declines outweighed them. Prices declining, were beef, hams, jellies, sugar, I beans, rice, prunes, steers and raisins. Higher were flour, rye, wheat, corn, oats, barlay, lard, cottonseed oil, eggs, potatoes, hogs, lambs and butter. Unchanged were cheese, tea, coffee, cocoa, peas, peanuts, molasses, currants and milk. be on display in New York at the German Export Fair open- j ing Jan. 1. I Only a month after the Western occupation authorities introduced currency reform, industries in Bizonia set a new post-war record of 67 per cent of 1936 production. Coal production was up to 81 per cent of pre-war days. This . month the Ruhr mines are expected to yield 300,000 tons of hard coal a day. But shop windows demonstrate recovery even more dramatically than statistics. In Hamburg, you can buy for $175 a new Leica camera that costs $450 in New York. In Munich, a new vacuum cleaner sells for $47. In Frankfurt, a Woolwort.h store window is packed with American imports, some selling for less than at the Army Post Exchanges. These prices are in Deutschmarks quoted at the official exnort rate of 30 cents a mark. There is no other international value. But there is a black market value of 12 to a dollar that some G-I's use. The basic black market has disappeared with currency reform, however. No longer is every public park or square a barter mart. TOOTHPASTE CURE-ALL RESULTS IN FINE CHICAGO, Oct. 13. (UP) John J. Harris, aee 65, was fined $100 in Federal Court today for marketing a toothpaste which the label said would cure! sunburn, insect and animal bites, rheumatic and pulmonary infections, wounds, toothaches, sinus trouble and inflamed tonsils.

the indecision which had hung

over the Security Council since it recessed a week ago today to allow time for the mediation effort ; to have its effect. The Council was called to meet Friday at 3 p. m., (8 a. m., CST) to renew consideration of the Berlin crisis. The Western Big Three had presented their case and Vishinsky had had a rebuttal when the Council recessed. Earlier today informants had said it would not meet before Saturday, and possibly not this week. Lifting Blockade. The Bramuglia mediation effort was based on the idea of the simultaneous lifting of the Berlin blockade and the calling of a meeting of the Big Four Council of Foreign Ministers to take up . the entire German problem. --A Big Three -source in hour-to-hour touch with the Berlin" nego-t tiations said the Soviet reply contained the following-unsatisfac-, tory conditions: 1. That the Berlin case be withdrawn from the Security Council agenda, a condition to which the Big Three never would agree. 2. That the East and the West return to the situation as of Aug. 30. On that date the Big Four agreed in Moscow on a combined blockade and currency formula for ending the deadlock a formula that the Russians proceeded to ignore .when the negotiations shifted to Berlin. Ends Efforts. The informal and unofficial, but almost complete, rejection of the Russian reply by the Big Three source sounded the death knell of Bramuglia's conciliation efforts. Argentine sources had reported that the Soviet reply created optimism, but they evidently had : misjudged the reception it would get from the Big Three. As soon as he got Vishinsky's report, Bramuglia submitted a report to the Western powers and then called a meeting of the "neutral" Council members to consider it. ' Western sources said the Soviet reply probably meant the stepping up at once of action to bring about a Security Council judgment of the Russians in the' Berlin case. OresserMine To Reopen Monday TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 13 (UP) --The Dresser Coal Mine, scene of a gas explosion in which two miners were burned seriously Monday, was exepcted to resume operations .today after an inspection revealed it was safe. The first shift was slated to report for work this morning. Federal, state and union mine inspectors toured the mine yesterday. r Meanwhile, Mine Sunt. Harry Cruikshank said the blast was caused by a power circuit failure stopping the mine's ventilation system and permitting gas to accumulate-a t the surface of j the shaft. I Two Clinton miners. William I Davidson, age 53, and Georffe 'Krasek. age 41, still were in Union Hospital for treatment of 'second-degree burns suffered 'in .the explosion. Some 35 other ' workers escaped injury.
