Smufs Urges Creation
OF Economic Council
OF European States
BY III. As,oeiassd Pres.

THE HAGUE, Oct. 1l.-Field
Marshal Jan Christian SHUTS
Prime Minister Of South Africa
strongly recommended before the
Dutch Parliament today that the
European states join hands IN an
economic council as preparation foi
a political council of Europe.
I'm Eastern Europe" the veteran
statesman said. "a Siav general
group is already forming under oui
ewes. and why not? Why should
this be resented or feared as q men,
ace to others?"
Advocating regional groupings OF
nations as a powerful weapon iot
peace and citing the Pan American
Union as an example, Marshal
Smuts declared ''they could better
watch a particular situation N
their own areas and thus reneve
the world organization OF anxieties'
the nature of which may not DC
appreciated at a great distance.
Europe's Case Urgent.
Referring to Winston Churchins
idea of a United States Of Europe
based on a reconciliation between
France and Germany, Marshal
SHUTS said: :,
.pTh;s might change the whole
scene in Europe, but these nlgnIs
and insights Of genius are beyond
the range of commoner men:
fear Europe cannot wait until tnere
Is a great change Of heart IN France
and Germany. Her case Is TOO ur-
gent" .,
"Let a European economic coun.
Gil be formed to coordinate ana
guide the common economic analrs
and development OF the continent
he declared.
"Such a council had already been
recommended by a committee OF the
Social and Economic Commission OF
the United Nations. A practical step
has already been taken IN the plan
| OF the customs uLlol pcewSSn AA1A :
land, Belgium and Luxembourg. AZ
soon as Germany Is in control OF
her own economic affairs her case
/ for membership could be considered
by her interested neighbors.
Small Powers in Perilous State.
"T11e state OF all the small powers
is today so precarious as fast to
become unendurable, and sooner OF
later they may be forced to attach
themselves as satellites to some
planetary great power. Could this
not be prevented by timely action
which will preserve their independ-
ence in the European system
guaranteeing their freedom AND
security?"
Marshal Smuts concluded with the
question:
I'm case jealousy among the great
powers should inhibit their taking
the lead, cannot the number OF
smaller states come together without
such sponsorship and set the ball
rolling by forming a regional group
with its appropriate council"

II has been demonstrated, he

CHESTER BOWLES IN
FORMED NEWSMEN
HE HAD NOTHING TO
SAY ABOUT MEETING
Uny Associated pres.D


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-OPA
Administrator Chester Bowles,
who conferred yesterday with
President Truman, presumably
about the steel strike, was in con-
ference again this morning with
the President.
Bowles entered the Presidents
office at 1855 and left it half an
hour later. He was met by a
group of correspondents, whom
he told he had nothing to say
about his talk with the president.
Reports persist that Bowles
will permit the steel industry to
advance its price SIS a ton on
steel, so that the companies will
be placed in a position to grant
the strikers an increase of 1872
cents an hour.
Even if the strike is settled be-
fore the day is over, it was said
that it will require from one to
three weeks for the companies
affected to reach normal produc-
ton.
In Minnesota a state law re-
quires that employees wait 20 days
after they express their inten-
ton to strike before they leave
their jobs. AS result, one min
ute after midnight last night 20,
900 workers in that state. joined
with the 100000 workmen in the
steel industry who were already
on strike.

City Manager King warned bar
operatorsMn discussing the recent
raids made on bars in which
three places were pulled. Mr..
King clearly stated further vio-
lations would force complete
shutdowns.
All three were booked CD
charges of dispensing beer or
liquor after twelve midnight.
Gerald Ayala, E. M. Carbonell

I'VE have laid down three
simple regulations" j, Mr.. King
said, 1--WE will not play momma
and poppa to them, these places
should know how to conduct
their businesses and we will not
be continually in and out of their
places of business. 1t is up to
them to enforce the regulations
in their own manner. But if they
do not we will raid them again.
"The requests are most reason
able. The businesses can follow
these simple orders which are
backed up by state laws and city
ordinances and if they cannot
they have no reason to be in
business because they are not
operating for the good of the
community"
The three points stressed are:
/. Closing at the hour of 2 a.
m.
2. Minors working and drink
ing in bars. Restaurant workers
will not be bothered but the
minors are not to serve drinks,
Mr.. King said.
3. Disturbances caused, such
as fights and the use of profane
language by patrons.
Mr. King concluded by stating
that either he or the Chief of
Police would conduct the. raids
in the future. He stated that he
did not make the raid because
of charges hurled at the Tuesday
city commission meeting but that
he had had it planned for some
time and had decided to hold the
raid Wednesday morning. He
conferred after the commission
meeting with some of the COM
missioners and then decided to
make the raids anyway. Commits
sioner Cooper accompanied him
and Chief of Police Eisner on the
raids.
