Truman Stays In Backyard

Independence, Mo, Nov. 2.-(UP) President Truman continued his hands off" policy on politics in general today while his friends in Jackson County declared that vote against the Democrats would be an insult to home town boy
 MT. Truman last night spurned a fiery, tub-thumping Democratic rally less than two blocks from his house. The only item on his sched- lle today was the annual reunion ot his old world War outfit, Battery D of the l29th Field Artillery.
 The President came here to vote in the election Tuesday. He made the trip under mysterious shadow of silence which caused him to pursue his "no-talk" policy SC far that he declined to say hello to school children in two Missouri towns yesterday--JefferSon City and Sedalia. The President waved to the kids, but he wouldn't say a word.

Miners Close 42SoftCooI Pits in East
 Misunderstanding
 Of Contrcct Stofus
 Produces Strikes

Washington, Nov. 2-'CUP)-Wild- cat strikes pinched soft coal pro- duction todaysas Government offi- cials kept a cloak of secrecy around the status of their contract negotia- tions with John L. Lewis United Mine Workers (AFL).
 Reports received by the Solid Fuels Administration showed ap- proximately 5,IOO miners struck yesterday because of misunderstand- ings over the status of their pres ent contract.
 SEA announced that soft coal production took another drop last week. Production this year through last Saturday is now ' percent below the comparable period in l945. An- thracite production, however, is al- most g percent higher.
 With the negotiations in recess until Monday there still was no of- ficial admission that the Govern ment had agreed to reopen the con- tract which has been in effect since the bituminous mines were seized last May.
 Evidence, however, tended to con- firm caller epor,s that the Admin is tration was willing to reopen the contract. Lewis had said the agree ment would be void if the Govern ment refused.
 The SEA reports showed 42 mines closed in Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia for that reason. How ever, the agency expected the men to be back at work Monday.

Soviet Maps Powers On Mandates
 To Seek Right
 By Any Big 5.
 Nation to Buk

Lake Success, N. r., Nov. 2 -(UP)-A proposal empow- ering any of the Big Five na- tions to veto United Nations draft trusteeship agreements is being prepared for the LIN General Assembly's Trustee ship Committee by Soviet Russia, it was learned today.
 The Soviet action, certain to have wide repercussions in the 51-nation committee, may get American approval - or acouiesence. But some members of the United Staes delegation were said to firmly oppose the Russian move.
 They were represented as eager to fight it on the ground that Rus sia would be given too strong a voice in the future of Pacific islands wrested from Japan by American forces.
 Meanwhile, Poland pushed for showdown in the new LIN drive to crush Generalissimo Francisco Franco's dictatorship. Polish for eign Minister Wincenty RzymoWsKi submitted to the Assembly two draft resolutions calling for a gen. eral break in diplomatic relations with Franco and the barring ot Spain from membership in any or ganizations related to the world organization.
 Thus battle-flags were raised over two explosive issues as the Assem- blys big Political and Security Committee gathered for its first meeting here today to consider a controversy-studded calendar of II items. They included not only the Franco issue, but the small powers complaints against the Big Five veto powers in the Security Council Soviet Russia's proposals for world disarmament and Soviet proposal for a survey of Allied troops and bases in non-enemy countries.
 The U. S. delegation was hard, at work on an amendment to put teeth" in the Soviet disarmament plan.
 The Soviet proposals concerning the LIN trusteeship program-the Still-to-be achieved program for giving freedom and opportunity to the worlds dependent peoples were likely to emerge at the trustee ship committees second meeting late Monday.

AIboniunS Hit British Worship
 CoostoI Battery
 Rips Superstrueture
 Of Cruiser Leonder

Trieste, Nov. 2- (UP) - Repairs on the superstructure of the 7,270,- ton British cruiser Leander, struck by shellfre from an Albanian coastal battery according to British naval officers, were started here to- day after the warship arrived from an Adriatic voyage.
 Officers attached to the Leander said the cruiser had been hit once in the superstructure by shellfire.
 CThis dispatch did not indi-
 cate the time or exact location
 of the action. It may have oc-
 cured in the Corfu Strait,
 between the Albanian mainland
 and the Greek island of Corfu)
 The action reported by the Lean- der's officers was the third this year involving British warships of Albania. The British destroyerS SaumareZ and Voltage struck mines in the Corfu Strait II days ago, with a toll of 43 dead or missing and 40 injured.
 bdSO way bAAC NA aASOA SASNAAs S sister ship of the Leander, and the cruiser Supurb were fired upon by Albanian shore guns as they sailed through the Corfu Strait. Neither vessel was hit. Britain sent diplo- matic protest to Albania and re- ceived a reply which the British re- jected as unacceptable.
 The Corfu Strait, only one mile wide at its narrowest point, ad- joins the Greek-Albanian border, which has been under dispute be- tween the two governments. The British Admiralty announced last week that the channel had been used by warships and merchant vessels for nearly two years after being swept for wartime mines. The Leander, l5-year-old warship, carries a normal compile ment of $50 men. It mounts eight 6-inch guns.

WoIIoce RopS ChurchiIIs As Red-boiterS
 Urges Acceptance
 Of Soviet Challenge
 For Disarmament

Chicago, Nov. 2 - (Up)--Henry Wallace said last night that if the United States really wants peace" !" it will accept the proposal of Rus sia for world disarmament.
 Wallace, addressing Democratic political rally. said that Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov, who urged world disarmament before the General Assembly of the United Nations, made us a daring chal- lenge."
 If we really want peace, he will accept the challenge" Wallace said, we will join in call for world disarmament"
 Raps War Baiters
 Wallace spoke at Chicago Sta- diuIn, where he was nominated for the presidency in 1940 and where he was defeated for the same nomination by President Truman in l944.
 Wallace said he firmly believes that we can get along with Rus sia and with the rest of the world" He added, however, that we will not have peace by following the line of the Churchills, the Colonel McCormicks or other Russian bait CTS"
 His reference was to Col. Robert R. Mccormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, and to Winston Churchill, wartime British prime minister.
 We won't have peace by follow ing the path of those who call for dropping the atomic bomb on Rus sia now" he said.
 Imperialism Over
 He said that neither the scientists who developed the atomic bomb nor the common people want to see it used ito heap destruction and carnage on innocent people in the name of streamlined American im- perialism."
 The century of Imperialism is over" he said, "and it cannot be brought back no matter how often reactionaries may write the initials F.DR. over foreign skies"
 He said that the age of business oligarchs" was over, too, and that the century of the common man is here. ."
 One thing is absolutely certain" he said, and that is that not even a Republican victory at this time would delay the world trend for long"
 Understanding Wanted
 Russia and the United States, Ee said, are both trying to express the same thing but in different ways"
 We in the United States say we can best serve the common man by the high productive power of a capitalistic democracy" he said. Russia says capita1istic democracy produces boom, bust, chaos and war and that therefore the only safety is with dictatorship of the prole- tariat.
 The people of Europe are torn in both directions but above every thing else are eager that Russia and America arrive at a peaceful understanding. They have been amazed and shocked at the willing ness of both countries to take posi- tions which might sooner or later accidentally result in war"
