United Nations and Communist negotiators in Korea continue to make proposals, count er-proposals, demands and tentative concessions, but the two sides are seriously split. Five points are involved: (1) The U.N. demand for no military build-up during an armistice; (2) Joint inspection teams to police the truce; (3) Possession of islands of both .coasts of North Korea; (4) A U.N. demand for a ban on construction or repair of air fields; (5) Reduction of Allied military forces through withdrawal from Korea, de manded by the Reds. The offer of concessions was first made by the United Nations delegates. They offered to swap Allied possession of strategic islands off both coasts for Communist concessions, as yet not revealed. The Communists, on the other hand, demanded the right to increase their military potential during the armistice, including the construction of airports. They also demanded the reduction of Allied mili tary forces in Korea by withdrawing them. Then, in a sudden reversal of policy, the Reds made two proposals: (1) Agreement by both sides not to introduce into Korea any military forces, weapons, and ammunition under any pretext; and (2) both sides to invite representative nations neu tral in the Korean War to form a supervisory organ to be responsible for conducting necessary inspec tions beyond the demilitarized zone, of such ports of entry in the rear as mutually agreed upon by both sides, and to report to the joint armi stice commission the result of inspection. The reversal of policy was so sudden the Allies were caught flat- footed and asked for a short recess. Afterwards, the U.N. command presented 21 questions designed to clarify the two proposals, the most important of which was what nations did the Reds have in mind as neutral* inspectors. There are only three or four sections that would be acceptable to the Allies. If the negotiators can agree upon these two points then they will proceed to the next step of the peace talks. That is exchange of pris oners of war. The Communists report they have almost completed a count of prisoners in their holds and other data necessary for a possible exchange. The chances for peace in Korea are increasing with each point the negotiators agree upon, but there remains much to be settled. Agree ment by Christmas must still be considered a dream. GAMBLERS Th® gamblers in the home towns of the nation are in for a hard time. The Internal Revenue Bureau has announced it will tell all about 2,500 registered gamblers to local police officers. The bureau also announced it would crack down on an estimated 15,000 suspected gamblers who have bothered to register under the new fed eral gambling-tax law. .Passage of the federal gambling law put most gamblers in a quand ary. If local authorities arrest a gambler equipped with a stamp, he is subject to prosecution under state laws against gambling. Most states have such laws. If he operates a gambling business and has no stamp, then federal authorities get him. The bureau now has detailed information about 2,575 bookies and punchboatd and numbers operators who applied for the federal stamp by the December 1 deadline. HE BIG FOUR While the Allies and Communists were trying to a basis for peace in Asia, in Europe the big four sat down to dis cuss disarmament. Although first meetings were cordial, there was little chance of agreement on rival East-West disarmament plans. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky continued to charge that While the United States and Britain talk about lowering tension, their policies tend to increase it; the United States tries to hedge around dis- arament with technical talk of “levels of armaments”; the western powers have armed forces twice the size of Russia’s. ^.Y^EAPONS— Peace talks in Korea and disarmament in Europe caused little excitement among the people in the home towns of the nation. They were interested, however, in some concrete facts as outlined by Dr. Alvin C. Graves, scientific director of all Atomic Energy Commis- sian tests. He indicated that the stockpile of A-weapons has increased virtually double during 1951 and expressed his belief that the work the U. S. has done in atomic energy is the reason the world isn’t in World War III. Said Dr. Graves: “I am not in the atomic business because I like to anufacture things that kill people. I am thoroughly convinced that the reason we are not in a third world war now is because of the work the United States has done In atomic energy . . . I’m doing what I am doing because I believe it is the biggest contribution to the cause of world* wide peace.” TAX SCANDAL The mounting scandal in the Internal Revenue Bureau, touched off when President Truman dismissed Assistant Attor ney General Theron Caudle, is having repercussions down to the home town level. The scandal could become the most talked about affair in a year that will be marked for its disclos ures of corruption. Caudle denies that he has done anything “illegal”, but members of the House Ways and Means subcommittee which is investigat ing his activities termed some of his practices “questionable”. In addition, the administration has taken hard action against two for mer collectors at Boston and St. Louis who are under indictment; others have been fired or forced to resign; still others are under sus picion pending complete investiga tion. Whether or not the adminis tration has acted quick enough to off-set possible reaction in the 1952 election is the question Democrat leaders are asking themselves these days. They reason, and correctly, that the ^average voter in the home town resents the tax drain on his pocketbook. He is, therefore, di rectly injured by revelations of tax “fixes”. Also, they are inclined to believe there is little chance that the scandal will die before the cam paign begins because some tax collectors will be involved in court cases. Anyway, the GOP will keep it alive. .This one scandal could be more damaging to the Democratic cam paign in 1952 than all the others of the past year put together. The public doesn’t like tampering with its pocketbook. •: , V v*‘ ■' FOREIGN AID Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors, one of America’s great corporations, has warned the foreign aid pro gram can not be prolonged to aqy great length. He said: “Our country has now a policy that might be called colo nialism in reverse. We are exploiting our own people and our own re sources to benefit people in*other countries. Even with America’s great idealism and productivity, this policy cannot safely be counted on for long by any nation.” Wilson spoke at a session of the first International Conference of Manufacturers attended by more than 300 British and Western European industrial leaders.

The American disarmament pro posal in Paris, for insance, scored a tremendous victory, helped knock down Communist propaganda that we were the world’s leading warmongers. Before this propos al was made, how ever, a hot, back- stage debate took place in the State de partment. Some ad visers feared the Russians would pick up the disarmament plan and run away with it. But members of the Russian section argued the opposite, said the Russians were sure to react the other way, and play into our hand*. ' That was exactly what Fore- eign Minister Vishinsky did. He shocked western Europe by stating that he had stayed up all night laughing at the west’s disarmament proposal. Since then, U.S. intelligence re ports that Vishinsky has received a scorching cable from the Polit buro reprimanding him. Since Vish insky has only redently got out of Stalin’s doghouse, the chances are that shortly after he gets home he will be fired. \ Acheson Bored It may bring a denial, but Secre tary. Acheson is so disgusted with the lack of progress at the Paris meeting of the United Nations that he almost came.home the .other day. Immediately after giving his speech denouncing the Russians and Chinese Communists, Acheson told his assistants to make arrange ments for him to fly back to Wash ington., > It was obvious, the secretary of state said, that this session of the assembly will yield nothing and that he was wasting his time in Paris. However, Ambassador Jessup and French Foreign Minister Schuman begged him to change his mind for fear it would give a black eye to the United Nations. Acheson finally did so, but only after making it clear it was mainly because he would have to return to Europe anyway later to attend the meeting of the North Atlantic pact counciL Ike Hedges Exuberant George Bender, the Ohio congressman, popped the ques tion to General Eisenhower during a two and one-half hour relaxed chat with the general in £aris. Bender, a rootin’-tootin’ Taft sup porter, looked Ike in the eye and said with a grin: “General, is you or ain’t you, and how?” General Eisenhower’s eyes twin kled but he made no direct reply. Instead he emphasized to Bender and three other visiting congress men the great importance of his job in Europe. It was vital to the safety of mankind to rearm Europe, the general said, no matter what individual sacrifices were involved. Young Dick Bolling, the clean- cut Kansas City Democrat, sug gested in half-humorous vein: “Gen eral, if you do run for President, I am sure you will be much happier on the Democratic ticket.” Eisenhower did not answer that one either, but Rep. Leon Gavin, Pennsylvania Republican, did, and in no uncertain terms. “The Republican party is the only party of free enterprise,” he said loudly and firmly. “The , Democrats are all Socialists and you would not get along with them.” At another point in the conversa tion, Congressman Bender asked Ike: “What about that Arthur Krock story in the New York Times saying you and President Truman talked politics?” This was the only time during the visit that the general appeared up set or irritated. “There was not a word of truth to the story,” he said indignantly and with great firmness. He added that he could not under stand why a reputable newsman would fall for “such a phony.” •Note—Flying to Key West the other day, President Truman sat down in the compartment of the presidential plane where his staff was working and point by point went over his luncheon conversation with General Eisenhower. He re peated that at no time had they dis* cussed politics. Merry-Go-Round There are now 6,000 press agents on the government payroll — and look at the press the government’s getting! . . .

JF7 i S , SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY FIGHT f N F ANTI LE PAR ALYCiS JANUARY 2*31 T0YLAND AT HOME W ANT to have fun, and save money, by making some of the toys for those children on your Christmas gift-list? Or better still, have your own youngsters share, not only in the making of the toys, but in the making of other children’s happiness? You can just tell the young ones that poor old Santa Claus has more than he can handle this year, and is calling for helpers in his branch toy- lands, and that they’re It. Then just look around, and you’ll find all kinds of materials for your own Santa Claus shop. Old spools that have given up their last piece of thread? Save ’em—they make rollers and wheels on cars, trains, tractors, wagons and trucks. Spare clothespins and pipe-cleaners? You can create wonderful little dolls and puppets with no other material but yours and your children’s imaginations. Left-over wall-paper, an- scraps of colored paper gleaned from old gift-wrappings? Perfect for those scrap books so dear to a child’s heart. Or even tin cans, with rolled upper edges, painted a gay color, can be used either to hold toys, or for stacking or buildings every bit as good as wood blocks. And blocks can even be made— carved out by Dad or the big bro ther, and sanded and painted by that little artist in the home. Fun to do and fun to give. In a booklet issued by one of our large universities, 27 different toys are pictured which can eas ily be made at home. Your store can get the booklet^for you, and supply the materials that are not at your finger-tips. With Dad’s hammer, screwdriver, saw, screws and hinges, and some odd pieces of plywood and bits of other wood, you can put your whole family to work in Santa’s branch shop, and turn ’em all oiit. Imagine the joy of making,. painting and giving a garage like, this: It only calls for some plywood, a few small scraps* of other wood, and four hinges— and there it is—put to gether and taken apart easily by the Smallest child. The young one will delight in painting it his favorite color, and the older boy might make a car to fit it. And as the gauge for the per fect gift is what you would like yourself, it should be just the right thing for cousin George, who will be with you for Christmas. LITTLE LADIES And for your little ladies, there are many ideas, too. Doll houses, complete with furniture, are tops for the junior mother. Le her help with the color scheme, she’ll feel very important cr.d helpful. For playing house, the little girl’s favorite game of all tim% this broomstick horse would not only be easy to make, but fun to uce and to ride. rrzr. ■ i BUSINESS Jk INVEST. OFFOR.
