case of a great war emergency
many American lives would be

PARIS, Nowv. 10—(AP)—A 14-
{ nation steering committee today
snubbed Russia’s renewed bid to
seat Red China in the United Na
tions, Over heated Russian ob-
I jections, the committee approved
an American-backed plan to bar
’debate on the subject in the cur
rent General Assembly.
It was the first time the steer
ing committee had approved a
gag on a major issue. Many del
egates felt it useless to discuss the
seating of Red China further while
Communist Chinese troops are
shooting U. N. soldiers in Korea
and stalling in truce talks.
Delegates of eleven nations —
the United States, Britain, France,
Nationalist China, Norway, Thai
land, Chile, Mexico, Dominican
Republic, Iraq and Cana&a—-—voted
for the ban. The Soviet Union
and Poland voted aaginst it. Yu
goslavia, the 14th member, ab
stained.
The decision will go next week
to the 60-nation General Assem
bly, where it is expected to be
ratified after another blast from
the Russians.
Recommendations
The committee also recommend
ed:
1. Assembly consideration for
Yugoslavia’s complaint of “hostile
acts” by Russia against Premier
Marshal Tito’s government. The
vote was 12 to 2 (Russia and Po
land). It came after a furious as
sault by the Soviet bloc delegates
on the “Tito clique.”
2. A full airing of ther Western
Big Three proposal for arms lim
itation and reduction, which
formed a key part of President
Truman's peace plan broadcast
last Wednesday night. There was
no debate.
3. Also a full debate on the Sov
jet peace package calling for a
world-wide disarmament confer=
ence, for a cease-fire in Korea
now and withdrawal of all foreign
troons in three months, and for a
Big Five peace pact.
The Soviet item was passed on
to the Assembly without a vote
after U. S. delegate. Warren R.
Austin demanded the right 1o re
ply in the political committee to
what he said were mistakes in
Vishinsky’s speech on the U. N.
plan for atomic energy control.
Vishinsky said the Americans do
not want to prohibit atomic bombs.
Austin said the Americans [avor
the U. N. plan and it specifically
calls for prohibition of the bombs
after controls are set up.
Commitiee Fight
The committee fight on Chinese
representation was pries but in
tense. Prince Wan Waithayakon
of Thailand, chairman of the As
sembly Economic Committee, pro
posed that the Assembly reject the
request of the Soviet Union for the
inclusion in the Assembly’s work
sheet of an item called “The Re
presentation of China in the Unit
ed Nations.”
Prince Wan said it was not
timely to consider the Russian
item and recalled that Thai troops
are fighting aggression in Korea.
Austin told the committee the
Russian proposal had been con
sidered and rejected nearly 90
times in various U. N, organs and
no useful purpose could be served
by renewing these debates. He
said ' the ban 'would sustain the
Nationalist -+ Chinese | delegation
here and permit the Assembly to

End Of World War 1
Mutual Distrust
Hampers Allied,
Red Peace Talks
By WILLIAM JORDEN
MUNSAN, Korea, Sunday, Nov.
11—(AP)—Allied and Communist
truce megotiators ‘meet again to
day, seemingly in almost complete
agreement on a buffer zone—but
separated by a chasm of distrust,
The ‘opposing subcommittees
scheduled their 18th session at
Panmunjom at 11 a. m,, (9 p. m,
EST Saturday) on this 33rd an
niversary of the armistice in
World War 1.
Proposals advanced by the Al
lies and Communist delegates Sat
urday appeared almost identical.
In fact, the Red recommendation
looked surprisingly like that made
by the United Nations command
only five days ago, and rejected
at that time by the Reds.
Common Provisions
I—Acceptance of the principle
that the present battleline would
be the basis for a cease-fire line;
2—A four kilometer (twe and
one-half miles) wide demilitarized
buffer zone across Korea;
3—Recommendations that the
full five-member truce delegations
immediately take up other armis
tice problems, such as exchange of
prisoners; ’
4—Committees from both sides
to determine exactly where the
battleline; and 3
s—Changes in the battleline to
be reflected in the demarcation
line right up to the actual signing
of a full armistice.
Although the substance appeared
the same, the wording of each pro~
posal was different. Each side
tentatively rejected the other’s
proposal Saturday—but their rea
sons for doingx so were obseure.
In Tokyo, there was speculation
that Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s
three-day visit to Munsan might
have paved the way for a*break in
the stalemate over a buffer zone.
He returned to Tokyo Saturday
night.
AP Tokyo Bureau chief Robert
Eunson reported “the United Na
tions commander is expected to
make an important announcement
soon if the talks don’t show a
marked improvement.”
; Improvement Reported
However, Saturday’s U. N. com
mand report on the 17th meeling
indicated considerable improve
ment. The Allies had virtually
abandoned their demand that the
Reds yield Kaesong in exchange
for hard-won U. N. territory in
central and eastern Korea.
The new Allied proposal sug
gested only that buffer zone along
the battlefront include provision
for “such minor and local adjust
ments as may be mutually con
sidered desirable.”
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
U. N. command spokesman, said
the Allies still would reject any
suggestion for a fixed demarca
tion line because it would prevent
military pressure if the Reds stall
on other armistice problems.
The battlefront was newly ac
tive- Saturday after a relative .lull
in the fighting.

BY ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11,
~— (AP) —This nation com
memorates with prayer and
with muscle-flexing today
the end of World War 1.
And, with the new urgency
of the atomic age, divine
worship and the thunder of
artillery will be offered for
a common purpose: the pre
vention of World War 111.
President Truman asked the
American people to observe Ar
mistice Day “with renewed pray
ers for the establishment of per
mranent peace.”
He said in his annual proclama
tion that armed aggression, which
flared in the two World Wars,
“has once more been loosed by the
Communist onslaught in Korea.”
All three loca! banks, offices
in the City Hall and the County
Courthouse, the Post Office and
other federal agencies will re
main closed Monday in observ
ance of Armistice Day.
Today is Armistice Day and
since it falls on Sunday, will be
observed tomorrow.
All services windows at the
Post Office will be clesed and
no carrier deliveries will be
made, Acting-Postmaster Elli
son Stone announced,
Observances throughout the
country will show how the United
States is meeting the new threat
—with men, munitions, belt-tight
ening , . . and, in the churches,
with a thousana variations of the
poet Kipling’s prayer:
“Lord God of hosts, be with us yet
Lest we forget—llest we forget.™
War Casualties
With Korean war casualties al
ready more than 95,000—a fourth
as many killed, wounded and
‘missing as this country suffered in
World War I—and with draft calls
mounting, defense contracts mul=
tiplying, prices and taxes rising,
few Americans were likely to for
get the cost of war.
On this November 11, many
would sum up the nation’s mood
in the words sometimes attributed
to the Pilgrim Fathers:
“Trust in the Lord and keep
your powder dry.”
In Washington, Secretary of
Defense Lovett will lead the nat
ional Armistice observance tomor
row, placing a wreath on behalf of
the President at the tomb cf the
Unknown Soldier.
Elsewhere in the nation, week
end observances of the holiday
began today and will continue
through Monday, with government
offices, stock and commodity ex
changes, banks and many private
business concerns closing Monday.
At Fort Hood
At Fort Hood, Texas, the first
review of the entire first armored
dvision since World War II was
held today with many high Army
officers, political leaders and busi
nessmen as guests.
Detroit held its Armistice Day
parade last night, to coincide with
a visit of 26 Korean war veterans
on a Defense Department tour.
In Tulsa, Okla., Major Frank
Van Voorhis, a Spanish-American
War veteran, 92 years old on Ar
mistice Day, planned to celebrate
by riding a horse in the annual
parade for the 23rd straight year,
Connecticut will mark the day
in grimmer facshion — rehearsing
for what mray happen in a third
world war. A simulated bomb at
tack on the New Haven municipal
airport will signal the start of an
airborne disaster relief exercise.
said., Special invitations were de
livered Friday by Miss Shouse and
Miss Sarah Maret, director of Ath
ens Regional Library, who visited
the various grades and issued in
vitations personally to all young
sters to attend the programs.
The aim of National Book Week
is to put good reading into the
hands of American children,
eleven million of whom still lack
reading facilities, according to na
tional headquarters of the Chil~
dren’s Book Council.
Juvenile Program
“We have a year round pro
gram for juvenile readers,” Miss
Maret points out, “but durifig book
week we like to remind patrons,
young and old, that the library
is theirs, and that we want them
to visit it and use it.”
An effort has been made to de
liver written invitations to all ele
mentary grades, and posters have
been displayed announcing the ap
pearance of Aunt Lollipop.
“Youngsters may not be able to
come in class units,” Miss Shouse
said, “but whether they come in
classes or in small groups, or in
dividually, they are all welcome
on Thursday &fternoon, at 3:30 in
the Civic Auditorium.”
Edison Marshall
Tells Plan For
Writing Success
Edison Marshall, famed Georgia
author, gave his one-ingredient
formula for writing success here
today: an imFulse to write, irresi
stable and life-long.
Speaking to a group of South
ern industrial editors at the Uni
versity of Georgia, the author of
“Yankee Pasha” and other best
sellers, said that to be successful a
writer must have an Intense need
to communicate with one’s fellows.
“When Milton spoke of his abili
ty to write poetry as ‘that one tal
ent that is death to hide,’” he spoke
psycholo%ical truth,” Marshall
said. “To hide it would lead
:::raight to madness and dissolu
on.”
Sincerity Needed
Marshall added that success in
writing is almost impossible with=-
out gincerity. There are some wri
fers who do synthetic jobs by ex
pert analysis of story-telling and
popular taste, he said, but the most
successful authors believe in their
own genius and what they them
selves love.
“I, for instance, revel in melo
drama,” he pointed out. “I love to
write about heroes, magnificent
deeds, women beautiful beyond
description, deathless love, awful
retributions. I think if an author
is somewhat naive, in the comamon.
use of the world, it is a great ad
vantage.”
. “There are any number of su
perb literary craftsmen — and
oddly enough they have lion’s
share of critical esteem and are
called artists,” he said. The real
shortage is in great tale-tellers,
ma;: natural writer, the real art
- Marsnall added that it is the
popular writer more than the high
brow who is the heir of the trou
babor and the minnesinger and the
custodian of the art of writing.
Purpose Of Writing
“Practically all whom we re
gard as the great masters wrote
historical melodrama that thrilled
the crowd. Old blind Homer sang
for the people and Shakepeare was
far too popular to suit the critics
of his day.
“Novels teaching history or
novels with social significance may
be fine novels, but only as far as
they do the novel’s original job—
entertain “and thrill,” he said.
“Industrial publications reach
between 40 and 50 million readers
and represent an investment of
$150,000,000 a year,” Harllee
Branch, Jr., president of the Geor
gia Power Company, told the Ed
itors Association here today. “Man
agement-expects and has a right
to expect substantial results for
this expenditure,” he said.
Mr. Branch reminded the editors
of house organs that they are one
of the chief channels of commun
ication between management and
employees: and that they have a
major respongibility to preserve
the free enterprise system by en
listing the support of workers. He
urged the editors to interpret the
American economic system in
termg of concrete benefits rather
than in abstractions.
In this connection he pointed
out that the federal government
is now distributing house organs
of American business to people in
other countries an as effective
means of seliing our way of life
against communistic propaganda.
“If they serve that purpose aboard,
we may be sure these publications
can advance the democratic system
at home

ized on March 26, 1857 and during
that time has helped develop the
character, health and spiritusal
well-being of literally thousands
of boys snd point te them the
paths to leadership in many lines
of endeavor. ;
A Privilege
“It is at once a privilege and a
pleasure for Athenians to join the
rest of the nation In paying tribute
this week to one of our country’s
most valuable agencies over a
period of one hundred years. This
week we give highest honor te the
Young Men’s Christian Associa
tions of this eountry, more than
1700 branches of which are serv
ing communities in the United
States and Canada,” Mayor Wells
said in his proclamation.
“It is all the more. appropriate
that we Athenians this week feel
both a sense of pride in, and obli
gation to, the YMCA becauss our
local branch ranks not only among
the oldest in the country but is
rated one of the best.”
“Rorn 94 years ago when 2
group of men with vhxn met ey
March 26, 1857 and organized our
YMCA, the local association has
continuously and without fail ren
dered superb service to the youth
of Athens, and through them to
the entire community.
~ Worthy Efforts ;
“So long have we been blessed
by the benefits derived from the
YMCA, and so continuous have
those blessing been, that some of
us may be prone to accept this
great service as a matter of course
and fail to realize the great
amount of labor and self-sacrifice
that has been necessary on the
part of those who conduct this
great public institution in order
to elevate it to the high position
it commands, and keep it there.
“It is quite possible that many
do not know our local YMCA is
pioneering by taking into mem
bership boys of kindergarien age
—four years—and begininng to
train them to take over in future
years as leaders in various forms
of endeavor and as the backbone
of this community.
“It is not enough that we pay
tribute to the YMCA as an agency
of great good. It is necessary that
we give it our active support, both
financial and otherwise and I call
on all -Athenians this week to re
evaluate the worth of the YMCA
to our community and themn do
something about it,” the procla
mation urged.
