By STERLING F. GREEN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9—(AP)
__The National Production Au
trority (NPA) reported today
ihat it had denied 63 per cent of
ihe construction applications for
this quarter and may be still
toucher in the first guarter of
ncxt year,
Price control chiefs were re
vomping regulations affecting
100.000 manufacturers, and said
senerally higher price ceilings
may be expected on many con
sumer goods as a result,
And a halt was ordered in the
sovernment stockpiling of tin so
{hat all available supplies can go
to industry to speed defense pro
duction.
The NPA report ou building
permits was based on applications
ronrecenting more than $1,000,-
000.000 worth of commmercial and
other construction, most of which
must be deferred until materials
are available,
The agency said it was unable
to permit the start of any project
net connzeted with defense di
rectly or indireetly, except a small
number of hardship cases in
which buildings bad been destroy
e by fire, flood or other disas
ter.
Construction Controls
The construction controls divi
<ion now is handling applications
for the January-through-March
auarter. For that period, the re
port said. “it is unlikely that ap
proval will be given to any project
no’ at least 20 per cent complet-
As in the present quarter, ap
proval will be given only to proj
ects of a military or defense-sup
porting nature.
Of the altered price regulations
for manufacturers, Price Director
Michael V. DiSalle said yesterday
the changes were necessitated by
the Capehart amendment to the
economics controls law, This re
quires that price ceilings reflect
nearly all cost gains that occurred
from the outbreak of the Korean
war to last July 26.
This is the amendment which
President Truman denounced as
“sn economic boobytrap” and
which Senator Capehart (R-Ind.)
and other backers upheld as sim
ple fairness. !
Manufacturers Affected
Manufacturers affected by the
regulations include producers of
a wide variety of things, such as
processed foods, furniture, house
hoid appliances, farm machinery,
chemicals, hardware, tools and
rubber goods.
DiSalle said the revisions “un
doubtedly will result in some in
creases in manufacturers’ ceilings
and permit a generally higher
Jevel of prices.” He added that
C'ongress had given his agency no
choice “but to allow manufac
turers, if they wish, to adjust their
ceilings.”
The decision to end the stock
piling of tin was made by Defense
Production Administrator Manly
Ilesichmann in consultation with
Mobilization Director Charles E.
Wilson,
In announcing the action, DPA
s:Zd further cuts will be made in
civilian use of tin plate (used in
tin cans), brass and bronze. This
could affect.many consumer items
such as hardware and furniture,
as well as industrial products.
DPA said inability to obtain
for eign tin at a “fair and reason
able price” was the reason for its

Mr. Truman flew here yesterday
from Washington after a major
speech Wednesday night challeng
ing Russia to accept an American-
British-French peace proposal in
volving a census of all war wea
pons, including atomic.
Having laid down American
policy, the President left it up to
Acheson to carry on in Paris
where the Secretary of State heads
the United States U. N. delegation.
Associates said he was not at
all surprised by the efforts of
Deputy Foreign Minister Vishin
sky of Russia to laugh off the pro
posal for reducing armaments with
safeguards which have constant
inspection as the principal pro
tection.
Ne¢ Laughing Matter
Mr. Truman was represented as
believing that the tri-partite pro
posal can not be laughed off as
easily as the Russians would like.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short told reporters he hasn’t re
ceived any official reaction be
yond official statements published
in the press.
The next mail pouch from
Washington, however, will bring
official reports from at least some
of the embassies abroad.
The President has other things
over which to ponder while here—
whether, for instance, he will an
nounce for re-election. He has
already said he will disclose his
decision only after he has com
pleted work on hLis three major
messages to be presented to Con
gress in January—the “State of
the Union,” the budget and the
economic messages.
Actual preliminary work on
them will not begin before Mon
day.
Short Rest
For the next two or three days
Short told reporters, the President
plans to rest. Then he will start
work as usual, except that he will
not have the usual interruptions
from official callers at the White
House.
One thing was made certain.
British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill will not be flying into
Key West.
When reporters asked Mr. Tru
man about that possibility yester
day, he declared, “absolutely not.”
Virtually all of the President’s
top White House staff came here
with him. The group inciuded
special counsel Charles S. Mur
phy, presidential assistant John R.
Stellman and Sidney W. Scuers,
intelligence advisor.

Longshoremen Return To Work As
Costly Dock Tieup Ends In N. Y.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—(AP)—
Striking longshoremen -sacked
back to freight-jammnred piers to
day after” their leaders agreed to
end the port’s billion-dellar, 25-
day wildcat walkout.
Along the miles of waterfront
from Hoboken and Jersey City, N.
J., to the far reaches of Brooklyn,
thousands streamed to work be
fore the 1 p. m. (EST) headline
set by their leaders.
There were jobs aplenty for all
at the long-idle piers. In Hoboken,
police were helping round up ex
tra men.
The rebel union faction, which
steamrollered the strike into New
York’s longest port tieup, yielded
to a New York fact-finding board
in the pre-dawn hours to end the
strike.
Ne mention was made concerin
ing settlement of intra-union dif
ferences. The dispute — principali
ly over wage scales in a new con
tract and legality of the contract
itself—still must be aired by the
board.
The strike was the costliest in
the history of the world’s biggest
port. At the peak of the walkout,
114 ships were tied up.
The Mew York State Industrial
Comissioner Edward Corsi, who
appointed the three-man inquiry
panel, announced shortly before 2
ATHENS, CA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1951,
Brig. Gen. Willlam P. Nuckols,
U. N. spokesman, said he got the
ig]pression Communist represen
tives might be stalling.
Allied sources suggested the
Reds might be waiting for new
instructions in view of Soviet For
elgn Minister Andrei Vishinsky's
proposal Thursday in Paris for a
cease-fire within ten days. Vi
shinsky suggested all troops with
draw from the 88th parallel and
foreign units leave Korea within
three months, -
Nuckols said neither Vishinsky
nor the 38th parallel were men
tioned during Friday's two hour
and 45 minute meeting.
Point Five
Red negotiators long ago agreed
to leave the withdrawal of foreign
troops for consideration in ‘“re
commendations to the governments
concerned on both sides.” That is
point five of the agenda on which
the negotiators are working. More
recently the Reds droppad their
insistence on a cease-fire buffer
zone aiong the 38th parallel.
Nuckols said he felt Vishinsky’s
remarks would not “tend to allay
any of the fears that have arisen”
about Communist intentions.
On the fighting front Reds were
reported shoving in a new Chinese
Army Corps (30,000 men) to bol
ster its central front around Kum
song and massing tanks on the
western sector facing Yonchon,
Communist troops probed along
both fronts in sub-zero weather.
Air battles over Northwest Ko~
rea, the Fifth Air Force reported,
cost the Reds three more jets de
‘stroyed and two damaged. It said
no Allied planes were lost.
Negotiators of both sides pro
pose creating a 215 mile wide buf
fer zone along the present battle
line with certain alterations. They
differ on the alterations and the
time for drafting the buffer zone.
Friday’s meeting was again de
voted to the Communist proposal
which the Allies “completely re
jiected” Thursday,
Reds “Elusive”
Nuckols described the Red po
sition as “elusive.” He said it was
“yery obvious” the Communists
were still demanding what would
amount to a cease-fire now which
would relieve them from pressure
to solve other armistice prohblems.
{Red Ciiina’s Peiping radio said
“the American side in disregard
of the facts is stating that our
side wants an immediate fixing of
an unchangeable military demar
cation line.” The radio said this
was a “trick of the American side
to confuse the public.”)
The dispute hinges on the word
ing of the Reds’ five-point plan,
and its intent.
“At several pcints the U. W. del
egates thought they had answers
a little more concrete than be
fore,” Nuckols said, “but the Reds
wandered off.
“The Comniunists give every in
dication of desiring only part of
an armistice—mainly the fixing of
a finalized agreement on item two
(fixing a cease-fire line and cre
ating a buffer zone).
“This would, in effect, give them
a cease-fire with no encourage
ment, incentive or pressure to set
tle other items which we deem
essential.”
Other items are supervizion of
(Continued On Page Two)
a. m. (EST) that the ports of New
York and Boston would be open
at 1 p. mr. (EST) today.
Boston was the only other port
completely shut down by the
strike, with other east coast ports
being affected from time to time.
In New York
In New York, an increasing
number of dockers had been re
turning to work on non-military
ships in recent days.
Corsi’s announcement followed
a four-hour closed meeting be
tween representatives of rebel
longshoremen and the panel.
All the stevedores are members
of the AFL International Long
shoremen’s Association (ILA).
More than 20,000 union dockers
were affected + by the minority
walkout, which began over ratifi
cation October 12 of a new ILA
coniract with East Coast shipping
and stevedoring companies. The
dissident group, led by John
éGene) Samrpson, went out three
ays later.
‘Pickets barred entrance to the
docks by non-striking ILA mem
bers. In many instances, fists and
rocks flew during the dispute.
Meanwhile, cargoes piled up on
docks and warehouses, with only
military ships being worked. They,
too, were tied vp for a short time
at the start of the strike.

Big Three Plan
For Di ent
BY F. W. CARPENTER
PARIS, Nov, 9.—(AP)—
Small nations pleaded for
greater " selective security
against the possibility of an
other Korea today in speech
es before the United Nations
Assembly. Their pleas fol
lowed discouraging new
tough talk by the United
States and Russia.
As they spoke, U, 8. Ambassador
Philip C. Jessup, in a special news
conference, challenged the Soviet
Union to start disarmament talks
in the U. N. now — not *c wait
until some time before June 1, 1952,
as the Russlans proposed yester
day Jessup also accused the Rus
sians of trying to by-pass ihe U
N. in asking a world-wide arms
conference.
Russia’s proposal was in answer
to a U. 8. plan — also but before
the U. N. General Assembly yes
terday -~— for a census of arma
ments and progressive reduction
of both conventional and atomic
weapons. Jessup said the U. S.
and her British and French Allies
would push for quick U. N. action
on their proposal,
In the General Assembly meet
ing teday F. W. Doidge of New
Zealand urged increased measures
of collective security to give the
free world strength to repel any
future aggressions such as oc
curred in Korea.
~ Collective Security S
In his policy speech he called
on all U. N. members to “pull
their weight in deeds as well as
words” for an effective system of
world-wide collective security.
. Cuba’s chief delegate, Dr. Au
relliano Sapchez Arango said his
government supported all measure
intended to rc?l aggression
}added that Cuba wanted *“peace
‘based on rights, liberty and jus
tice.”
The United Nations already has
drawn up a blueprint for such a
security plan, embracing not only
military but political, financial
and economic phases as well.
Any hope that the small natlens
had entertained that a lessening
in East-West tensions might come
about in this session was shattered
yesterday by the hard-hitting
policy speeches of Russia’s Andrei
Vishinsky and U. S. Secretary of
State Dean Acheson.
Both said they wanted peace.
But they were worlds apart in
their approach to the problem. |
White-haired Vishinsky, his
arms flailing and his voice rising
sometimes to a shout, scornfully
rejected the Western big three's
proposals for controlled arms re
duction.
Vishinsky Plan
Instead, he put forward his own
peace program galling for a world
wide disarmament conference be
fore next June 1.
Other measures, which he said
were aimed against the threat of
a new World War, included:
1. A demand the General As
sembly declare membership in the
North Atlantic Pact and the es
tablisnment of U. S. bases over
seag incompatible with members
hip in the United Nations.
2. A cease-fire in Korea, with
an armistice within 10 days, troop
withdarwals by and armed forces
from the 88th parallel, and the
withdrawal of all foreign troops,
including foreign volunteer units,
from the country within three
months. - 7 Fae
m‘:’}‘.‘xmpeacé pact to be concluded
among the U. S., Britain, France,
(Continued On Page Two)
Concessions Unknown
In announcing the back-to-work
move, Corsi made no mentions of
concessions, if any, coming from
either side. He said the inquiry
board would continue its public
hearings on the dispute.
Joseph P. Ryan, head of the
ILA, said he was “very happy”
that the walkout was over and
there would “of cours be no dis
crimination against strikers” in
the shape-up hiring system.
Some. observers believed that
the split-up among the two union
groups was touched off by the
long-standing feud for union
power between Ryan and Sammp
son. Sampson has denied this,
The strike brewed after Ryan
announced ILA acceptance of a
new contract with the New York
Shipping Association. Ryan said
the stevedore balloting among the
65,000 men showed a two-to-one
majority 4n favor of contract ac
ceptance.
The Sampson group contends
that the vote was a fraud. It de
mands scrapping of the pact and
re-negotiation of wage and other
issues. ‘
The agreement gave the dockers
a $2.10 hourly wage, a 2 10-cent
boost over previous wages. The
strikers wanted a 25-cent an hour
pay hike,

Two aerial duels were fought
over Northwest Korea, with 52
American jets pitted against about
50 Communist pranes. It was one
of the few times the two sides
have met on near-eve: terms.
- On the ground, Chinese forces
threw a series or small attacks be
fore daylight at Allied positions
near Yonchon and Kumsong. Yon
chon is in the wesi, Kumsong on
the central front.
The temperature dipped to 17-
degrees Thursday night. The
ground was white with frost.
New Chinese Unit
AP Corerspondent Milo Farneti
reported a new Chinese divisic
was in the line south of Kumz
An Allied officer said a fresh Red
Army corps—about 30,000 men —
was believed moving into the area.
The recent surge in Red activity
around Kumsong may have been
a screen for the shifting of Com
munist troops, the officer said.
The Eighth Army estimated that
610 Reds were killed and 527 were
wounded yesterday in the Kum
song sector fighting.
The Reds also were reported
building up their tank forces
around Yonchon in the west.
An Allied briefing officer said
the Chinese have moved up enough
armor and artillery to be “capable
of launching a limited offensive”
on the western front,
The Chinese, bunaled in their
quilted winter uniforms, appeared
more intent on staying warm than
launching an offensive. Some Red
pairols braved the sub-freezing
weather. But generally they eon
fined their daylight activity to ex
changing artillery and mortar fire
with U. N. guns.
Ridgway Visit
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
wearing his familiar grenade, vis
ited the front and took a look at
the Chinese through field glasses.
The U. N. commander remarked
he wanted “to get some of that
good front line air.”
Air observers reported intense
Red activity behind the front ap
peared to be dropping off after
Allied warplanes attacked more
than 1,300 vehicles on the high
ways Thuirsday night.
Despite continuous pounding by
Allied artillery, the Communists
Friday morning still held two
peaks wrested from the Allies
Sunday near Yonchon.
The cold wave cleared the Ko
rean skies and brought goed fly
ing weather. But it also brought
out the MIGs. .
Two of the MIGs destroyed Fri
day were shot down by F-80
Shooting Star jets which suppes
edly are no match for the speedier
Communist jets.
