THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. Lewis Miffed r JHN L. LEWIS was so miffed about a Washington Merry-Go- Round account of his oratory at a recent closed-door session on the coil strike that he ordered his right-band man, John Owens, to bawl out the southern coal opera tors for allegedly leaking the story. Owens carried out his instruc tions, waving the newspaper clip ping at Joseph Moody, president of the southern coal producers. “We know you leaked the story,” protested Owens. “Well, you’re talking to the wrong peo ple. These columnists all have their price.” Moody vigorously and correctly denied that he had been the source, but added: "Let’s be honest. You were there and so was I. Won’t you agree that the story was an honest and factual account of what hap pened?” “But it didn’t make Mr. Lewis look very good,” growled Owens. "Well, he didn’t look good in the meeting,” replied Moody. Battle of Admirals One of the angriest men in the battle of the admirals is the under secretary of the navy himself. Dim Kimball. Kimball was invited to an off- the-record meeting of 60 top navy officers in Monterey, Calif., Sep tember 21. Officially the meeting was a routine review of naval problems, but Kimball sensed something special was going on. For those present included Admiral Arthur Radford, lead-off man in the navy revolt, together with Vice Ad miral Gerland F. Bogan. There fore, Undersecretary Kimball made a brief speech, pleading with the admirals to lay their cards on the table. "If you think we’re not get ting a fair deal," Kimball said, “then let’s speak up. After all, I’m one of your own. I used to be assistant secretary of the navy for air. I know your prob lems.” Kimball told the admirals that President Truman had ordered waste removed from the defense spending picture, and that the de fense budget would have to be cut two billion dollars by 1951. "If you feel this is wrong,” Kim ball said, “speak up. I promise you we'll get a fair hearing. I can walk into Louis Johnson’s office any time I want and get a hearing. So now is the time to talk.” The admirals looked down their noses, gave Kimball silent treat ment. Yet it was at this very same meeting—without telling the under secretary of the navy—that Admiral Bogan wrote his now famous letter. And it was at this meeting also that Admiral Radford added his post script to the letter that touched off the powder keg in Washington. News Capsules ISOLATIONIST NEVADAN—Sen. Tom Connally, Texas Democrat, rallied a group of senators the other day to vote against an amend ment by Sen. George Malone, Ne vada Republican .... “Let’s get out there and vote,” stirred Con nally. "I don’t know what it’s about, but it was offered by Malon . So I’m against it.” .... Many sen ators feel the same way. UNHAPPY HINDU—Prime Minis ter Nehru of India is irked at the state department for the man-kill ing tour of the U.S.A. they’ve ar ranged. During his 26-day stay he will see virtually nothing but ban quet tables, formal receptions and luncheons. What he really wanted was a chance to get acquainted with the plain people of the United States so he could decide how India should line up in the future. But the state department disregarded this and arranged for 30 formal par ties during the 26 days. FEUDING SENATORS—Washing ton’s bumptious Senator Cain, a Republican, tried to make political capital on the senate floor over a $238 check paid by a group of uni versities to Senator Magnuson, a Democrat, also from Washington. The money covered Magnuson’s travel expenses to New Orleans for a speaking engagement spon sored by the universities. What Senator Cain didn’t mention is that he, too, has kept a few speaking engage ments—has flown to Honolnln to take part in the town meet ing of the air; to Walla Walla, Wash., to speak locally; and to Boston to speak before the apartment house owners. In each case, Cain’s expenses were paid in full by the sponsoring organizations. Shipping Bonanza Capitol newsmen were skeptical when Rep. Porter Hardy of Virginia announced there would be a com plete and forthright probe of the maritime commission and its squandering of taxpayer's money on ship contracts. So many congressional commit tees have been spreading the white wash of late that newsmen doubted Hardy would make good his prom ise—especially since he hails from the big maritime area around Nor folk. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Truman Renews Pledge of Support Of ‘Safe Plan’for Atomic Curbs; Attlee Charts British Saving Plan (EDITOR’S NOTE: When aplnlone are expressed In these celnmna, the? are those of Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and net necessarily of this newspaper.) MAKES BID FOR STEEL PEACE . . . Cyrus Ching (facing camera) director of the U. S. mediation service, is surrounded by newsmen as he arrived from Washington to make another effort for settlement of the paralyzing steel strike. These conferences were described as "exploratory,” although Ching later reported . that the situation was “not hopeless.” TRUMAN: Supports A-Curbs “To assure that atomic energy will be devoted to man’s welfare and not to his destruction is a con tinuing challenge to all nations and all peoples.” In those words. President Tru man pledged his support to any safe and effective plans that would outlaw the atomic bomb. THE PRESIDENT spoke at a ceremony in which the United Na tions laid the cornerstone for its permanent headquarters in New York city. Mr. Truman called the corner stone rites “an act of faith— our unshakable faith that the United Nations will succeed.” The President declared that con trol of weapons is essential to a peaceful world and said that "Ever since the first atomic bomb was developed, a major objective of U. S. policy has been a system of international control of atomic energy that would assure effective prohibition of atomic weapons . . . and at the same time would pro mote the peaceful use of atomic energy by all nations." HE ENDORSED anew the Ber nard Baruch control plan which was rejected by Russia. The chief point of disagreement between western powers and Rus sia on atomic energy control has been insistence by the West on an effective means of inspection to see that nations would keep their pledges to outlaw the bombs. Rus sia wouldn’t hold still for that pro posal. WORLD FRONT: Spotty Picture The world picture was spotty as international developments became increasingly confused. A Washing ton development intensified the tension between the U. S. and Rus sia in the Jbld war, British and U. S. leaders were beginning to split on the issue of recognizing the Chinese Red conquering govern ment, France was hard-pressed to organize its government, a Greco- Tito pa.ct appeared possible and the U. S. closed its consulate at Da rien. A look at the overall situation showed that in: WASHINGTON - The United States in a new crackdown on Rus sia had obtained an indictment against Amtorg, Russian purchas ing agency in the U. S. and six of its officers on charges of failing to register «s agents of a foreign power. The maximum penalty for violation of that law would be $10,- 000 fine and five years imprison ment. The firm itself was liable to a $10,000 fine. Shortly after U. S. attorney general McGrath an nounced return of the indictment, five of the Russians were arrested by FBI agents in New York. As was expected, Soviet officials vigorously protested the arrests. There had been repeated allega tions in congress that Amtorg acts as an espionage agent. Said assis tant U. S. attorney Edward R. Rig- ney: “Diplomatic passports don’t constitute a defense for the crime charged here.” The indictments did not charge Amtorg with serving as an espionage agency for the Soviets. LONDON — There was a de veloping split between Great Brit ain and the United States on the issue of recognition of the Com munist regime in China. Indications were that London would establish full diplomatic relations soon. However, this appeared contingent on whether the Communists would Norway Reports Progress In Atomic-Energy Study Norway was getting along rather well with atomic research, accord ing to a report by the council for scientific research. , The report said drilling for uranium in Setesdal valley had been successful, and underground operations had started with a crew of 30. The country’s first atomic pile is being built near Oslo, and three universities have received equip ment for atomic research. ENGLAND: More Austerity In a drastic effort ,o rescue Great Britain from its financial morass, Prime Minister Clement Attlee charted an economic course designed to save 784 million dol lars annually. He also ordered a cut of 400 million dollars in dollai imports. THUS did the prime ministei plot a course of more austerity for the British people. The savings effected, or hoped to be effected, would result from lop ping off spending for national de fense, capital investments, public relations and food subsidies. Attlee presented a quick, graphic interpretation of what was pro posed. "We must reduce expendi ture and increase production,” he told the house of commons. But it wasn’t as simple as the formula would seem to make it. To the already austerity-weary Britons it meant that many of the goods for which they now have to stand in line for hours would be even more scarce. Gasoline and some food items would cost more. They would have to pay a 14-cent fee for medicines they were getting free under the national health pro gram. leave the British alone at Hong Kong and promise to respect their rights there. The difference on opin ion between the U.S. and Britain on the subject of recognition was not considered as a particularly se rious one. It was regarded here as an inevitable reflection of their dif fering national interests. While the U.S. has been withdrawing from China, the British are still "in" and hope to remain so for obvious economic and financial reasons. DARIEN — Harassment by Chi nese Communists had forced clos ing of the U.S. consulate there. The American consul and vice-consul from this Russian-controlled city moved to Seoul. The U.S. attaches who had spent 15 months here said Communist policies prevented theii relief at the end of a scheduled eight-month tour of duty. At a news conference, the reported Commu nist obstacles had limited theii movements severely. Vice-consul Culver Gleysteen said he was once held four hours by Chinese Com munist police and Soviet soldiers who accused him of “signaling out to sea’’ with the lights of his jeep. HAWAII —The prolonged strike of dock workers at five of Hawaii’s six ports was over at last. The CIO international longshoremen’s and warehousemen’s union ordered its 2,000 striking stevedores to go back to their jobs. The men struck May 1, demanding a raise of 32 cents is their $1.40 hourly wage. The strike technically ended October 6, but continued, pending settlement of side issues involving working condi tions, pay and other issues in outer island ports. GOLD RUSH Pea-Size Nuggets Cast New Yukon Spell The spell of the Yukon was reach ing out again to heat the blood of men who seek quick fortunes in gold. Reports of nuggets “the size of peas” being found near Fish- wheel in Alaska had been flashed throughout the territory and a new gold rush was on. Grizzled sour doughs, untried tenderfeet vied with each other to stake claims for the precious mctaL Planes loaded with excited men, and mining equipment and husky dog teams were pushing into th« area in a race with the arctic wintei which would paralyze all minini efforts. The village of Fishwheel was mushrooming overnight likt the famed cities of the fabuloui Yukon of the earlier gold rush days. The lure was like a magnet, reach ing out with impelling force. FARM FAIR: World's Biggest Something of interest to every agriculturist, from the man who wants to grow bigger potatoes to the high-booted cowboy with the prize-winning Hereford, is on the agenda of the Canadian Royal Win ter Fair slated for Toronto’s coli seum November 15 to November 23, omitting Sunday. IN ADDITION there will be a complete display of the latest wrinkles in farm machinery and aids to more profitable operation. The Royal Winter Fair has long been recognized as the world’s largest agricultural exibition staged under one roof. Sponsored by Canadian federal, grain and ag ricultural associations, the compe titions carry with them many world championship awards. FOR THE FIRST TIME in 20 years, competition in the seed and grain divisions will be thrown open to any grower in the world and thus will award the winner world championship honors. Some 10,000 prize ribbons together with thou sands of dollars in monetary awards will be handed out. Farm home displays, washing machines and a host of things in teresting to women are always fea tures of Canada’s top winter fair. GEN. VAUGHAN: 'Shock Absorber' It was interesting to note the multiple interpretations Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, White House aide, was applying to his position of en tertainer, aide and personal confi dant of President Harry Truman. AT A DINNER given by fellow Democrats in Washington, Gen. Vaughan, linked with the capital’s “5 per centers” and mysterious John Maragon, one-time White House hanger-on, portrayed him self in a new light. - He is, he said, a “shock ab- soiber,” as it were, as well as a “part of the scenery” at the White House. “IT IS NOT pleasant furnishing the throat," he went on, "but I might as well earn my pay by be ing a shock absorber ... at the White House.” "I am an authority on investiga tions," he said. “We’ve had so many investigations in the last year or so that have laid an egg.” He pointed out that when admin istration critics complain about "trivial things,” it’s a healthy sign that “there is not a great deal that they can complain about.” THE “TRIVIAL THINGS" to which the general referred were charges that certain Washington figures with “influence” could swing government contracts and favors where they wished for a ”5 per cent” fee, gifts of deep freezers to members of Washing ton’s official family. The general’s personal popular ity continued unimpaired. He and Mrs. Vaughan were elected hon orary vice-presidents of the Dis trict of Columbia Democratic club, LEOPOLD: No Poll, Please! Former Belgian premier Paul- Henri Spaak wanted none of a pro posed poll to determine if King Leopold should return to the throne. SUCH AN ACTION might “de stroy Belgium” Spaak declared in a radio address in Brussels. Premier Gaston Eyskens, a pro- Leopold Social Christian, has pro posed a country-wide poll on whether Belgians want Leopold back from his exile in Switzer land. “I approve the prime minister’s desire to solve the royal question,” Spaak said, “but I do blame him, condemn him for trying to solve the royal question this way.” Gets Navy Post Edward E. Wilcox, former Philadelphia newspaperman, has been named special assist ant to the undersecretary of the navy. He succeeds Cedric Worth, self-styled author of the “anonymous” document which touched off the B-36 probe. ISOLATION: A ‘Big Peril' In Chicago, Sen. Scott Lucas (D., 111.) was sharply critical of a num ber of colleagues whom he called “an isolationist group of senators far more dangerous to the security of our democracy than the Com munists and fellow travelers under orders of Stalin.” Lucas, majority leader in the U. S. senate did not name the senators at whom he hurled the criticism, but he identt fled them at opponents. AFTER YOU, MY DEAR PANDIT . . . President Harry Truman steps aside and asks Pandit Nehru, India’s prime minister, to precede him to speaker’s platform at Washington national airport after the Indian leader’s arrival in the United States. In his welcoming speech, Mr. Truman praised Nehru as “the loved and respected leader of a great nation of free people.” Nehru said his nation would fight abridgement of liberty wherever it is found.

Mrs. Jean Ziolkowsi’s ad vertisement in a Ravenna, Ohio, newspaper brought 12 quick proposals of marriage—all rejected. The 27-year-old divorcee wants a man with a house in which she can shelter her two children. She also requires that he earn at least $70 a week.
