|27 MosIems Perish

Near Indian Capital
By WoIter J. Mason,
ssoeiofsd Press Foreign Corresponds


HARSON, India, Nov. 11-Twenty-
seven persons-men, women ana
children-died last night In new
outbreak of communal fury when a
mob burned the Moslem quarter OF
this hamlet of about 500 within l5
miles of India's capital, Delhi.
Arriving at sunrise, I counted nine
adults and IL children whose bodies
had been charred and one woman
and five children who either had
suffocated or had been strangled.
Most of the bodies lay outside the
ruins OF mud houses, apparently
where the people had been struck
down and covered with inflammables
which then had been set afire.
Villagers told the district magis-
trate and police superintendent the
mob attacked shortly after nightfall,
|storming the Moslem quarter, strik-
ing down the inhabitants and firing
houses and bodies. One man esti-
mated the assailants numbered
about 100. Police could find only
three living Moslem men among the
villagers rounded up for preliminary
investigation on the scene.
Thirteen houses were burned in
whole or in part. Some of them still
were smoldering when British cor
respondent and I arrived about an
hour ahead of the investigating au-
thorities.
Houses of the sweepers (untouch-
ables), in the center of the Moslem
area, and the Sweepers themselves,
India's lowest Hindu cast, were not
touched.
The savage Staying and burning
constituted the sixth outbreak of
Hindu Moslem disorders since last
Thursday in an area lying east of
Delhi, toward and beyond Meerut.
District Magistrate Shanker Pra-
lsad of Meerut told me at the scene
of last nights carnage that the OFF,

ticipated In the inner council in
preparing. and In actually car
rying out, the foreign policies Of
our Government 1t has been a
national and not party pro-
gram. 1t will continue to be a
national program insofar as the
Secretary of State and I are
concerned. I firmly believe that
our Republican colleagues who
have worked intelligently and
comparatively with us in the task
will do so in the future.
My concern is not about those
dn either party who know the
seriousness Of the problems
which confront us in our foreign
affairs. Those who share great
problems are united and not di-
vided by them. My concern Is
lest any in either party should
seek in this field an opportunity
to achieve personal notoriety or
partisan advantage by exploita-
ton of the sensational or by the
mere creation of controversy.
Task Above Party Interests.
We are set upon a hard course.
An effort by either the executive
or the legislative branch OF the
Government to embarrass the
other for partisan gain would
bring Illustration to our country.
To follow the course with honor
to ourselves and with benefit to
our country, we must look beyond
and above ourselves and our
party interests for the true bear
ing.
AS President of the United
States, am guided by simple
formula: To do in all cases, from
day to day, without regard to
narrow political considerations,
what seems to me to be best for
the welfare of all our people. Our
search for that welfare must al
ways be based upon a progressive
concept of government. -
I shall cooperate in every
proper manner with members OF
the Congress, and my hope and
prayer is that this spirit Of CO.
operation will be reciprocated.
To them, one and all, I pledge
faith with faith, and promise to
meet good will with good will.

that could mean new strike next
week.
One top administration official in
position to size up the situation sees
it this way:
1-Averting strike is the main
thing.
2-If Mr.. Lewis demands are rea-
|sonable, the Government will talk
turkey, even though Mr.. Krug and
Mr.. Lewis differ over whether the
contract can be opened at this time
3-If an agreement appears pos
sible, the Government will try to
interest the operators-but not be-
fore. There's no inclination to rush
the operators into negotiations with
Mr.. Lewis and risk an almost certain
strike should the owners find the
terms too steep.
AThe Government wants to get
out of the mining business. The
operators and Mr.. Lewis say they
want the mines turned back to
private owners, too.
Southern Owners Hold Key.
The key to the return of the
mines appears to be held by the
Southern operators who baked at
the scent tonnage royalty allowed
by Mr.. Krug for a union health
and welfare fund, at the procedure
for unionizing mine supervisors and
at the Federal mine safety code.
Mr.. Lewis and his miners con-
vention last month insisted on a
national agreement, however, SC
unless the Southern group chooses
to sign up the Government appears
stuck with the mines for some time
With coal prices no longer under
OPA control the operators them
selves will fix their prices, industry
representatives said, adding they
anticipate no boost unless strike
develops and coal gets scarce.

U. n. Diplomats See
Possible French Shift
In Balance Of Power
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-United
Nations diplomats scanned re-
ports of Communist election gains
in France today for indications
that the new French government
might develop a more pro-Rus-
sian foreign policy than the old
regime.
Should this occur. authorities
speculated that it could radically
alter the power balance in the For
eign Ministers and United Nations
meetings here. However, questions
raised by yesterdays balloting were
slated to go without exact answers
until all returns were in and the
new government formed.
France has not always sided with
the United States and Britain
against Russia on critical issues
and sometimes has played the role
of compromiser-but in the main
French policy has lined up with the
West more than with Russia.
Might Change Alignment.
The influence which the Commu-
nists appeared to have gained in the
Paris government might, on key
questions, change this alignment.
Such development would have far
reaching consequences. 1t would
put an end to the situation in which
Russia often finds herself without
a voting partner among the big
powers, thus preventing Britain and
the United States from raising the
cry of veto" against Russia so fire.
quently. 1t could have an incalcul-
able effect on the policies of the
smaller European nations.
The vote also was being studied
for its possible effects on Soviet
foreign policy, which, in the face of
some reverses and stiff opposition,
has recently, in the view of Ameri-
can diplomats, been more concilia-
tory.
No Delay Requested.
Despite the uncertainties raised by
the French election, both French
and American officials said France
had made no request for any delay
in preliminary talks on Germany
by the foreign ministers here.
A French informant said that
what his delegation might do in
the future would depend ON the
plans of Georges Bidault, French
President-Foreign Minister. If Mr.
Bidault can come here from Paris
at once, he said, the Big Four may
go ahead around November 20 with
plans. for their first talks on the
German question. If, however, Mr..
Bidault should be delayed because
of the political situation arising
from the election, the French would
then have to decide what move they
wanted to make.
