ARMISTICE REQUEST BY
 PRESIDENT
Wartime Curbs Removed But Aid Asked of Labor
 and Management
BY MARVIN L. ARRowsM1rH

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l-Presi- dent Truman today advocated an armistice between labor and man. agement in his first public state ment since he junked wage and price controls.
 Wartime curbs on the two groups were lifted after five years when MT. Truman swept ceilings off all items except rents, sugar. rice; and rent increases appeared inevitable" to some government officials.
 The subject of a labor manage ment truce came up at the Presi- dents Armistics Day news confer ence when q reporter asked whether he had noted such proposals
 MT. Truman replied that he had not heard of the suggestions but said it is just what he has been urging since August 1945, when the war ended.
 The Chief Executive placed "squarely upon management and labor the responsibility for economic stability
 His >decontrol edict brought in- mediate promises from industry and business leaders that prices will be held at reasonable levels-after period of adjustment.
 But some of these leaders tenn pered their pledges with big If" if wage demands don't upset the applecart.
 From laLor unions, many of which already are seeking higher pay to offset living cost increases, there was nothing but silence oa the Presidents action.
 Robert R. Wason, President of the National Association of Manu- lecturers, declared that prices, after temporary prise, will be adjusted downward under restored competi- tive conditions" unless industry costs are forced up by another round of wage demands
 MT Trumans ordar wiped prize ceilings off building materials as well as scores of other items, in- cluding clothing, automobiles, furn- iture, paper, steel and other metals.
 Officials of the National Housing Agency, which fought elimination of building material controls, ex- pressed doubt that the 10000 sales lid on new homes can be held for long, although MIA chief, Wilson w. Wyatt, has voiced determination to do so.
 Privately, aides of Wyatt said it may be necessary to boost the ceil- ing to $l2,000 And the $50 rental lid may have to be raised.

PARIS, Nov 1.-The Commm- ists emerged today as the strongest party in Frances new Fourth Re- public, but the outcome of yes terday's national election seemed unlikely to bring a strictly Left Wing Government.

 Prior to the election the Com munist party and the MRP each promised if elected to shut out the other from any new Cabinet, but the election results seemed to have made this impossible.
 The Communists busted President Georges Bidault's MRP from the legislative lead winning back the place they took in the first Con- stituent Assembly elected Oct. 21, 1945, and lost in the second elected last June 2. -s

CHINA MEET POSTPONED
 2 OR DAYS
Tempers Flare Anew at Reports that Truce Is
 Not Observed

HAWKING, Nov. 11-Opening of the National Assembly, called by Chiang Kai-shek for tomorrow to establish an all-Party government fer China, has been postponed two or three days Minister of Infor- nation Peng Hsueh-pei told news men today.
 This was announced as Com- munist tempers flared anew over allegations that Government troops in violation of the new cease-fire order were menacing the Red capi- tai Of Yenan, and as third-party representatives urged postponement Of the session until the end of the month in the hope of reaching an agreement with the Communists bs. .-rehand
 Meanwhile Government authori- ics in Peiping reported recapture Of the entire northern section of the Pciping- -Hankow Railroad, vital link between North and Central China, after two and one-half months of fighting.
 The last section of the line, be- tween Paoting and Shiachuang, was reported cleared of Corhmun- ist troops a little more than l2 hours before the deadline of Gen eralissimo's cease-fire order given his forces in a "iinal' effort at peace.
 Communist spokesmen earlier called Chiang Kai-shek's cease-fire order a ruse which would not stop the fighting, and declared that Government convening of the Con- stituticnal Assembly as scheduled
 means a final, complete national split, both political and military"
 They have insisted that military forces revert to their Jan. l3 po- sitions before the Assembly meet to adopt new constitution and to set up an All-Party Government. But Government armies have made vast gains since Jan l3, the date of a truce subsequently, shot full of holes by both armies.

The w ashingt ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Senator Full bright's proposal that President Truman step down has thrown the Arkansas brain trust at the White House into a spasm. They take it as a personal insult, move aimed directly at their near mon opoly-hold on Truman.
 Most people don't realize 1t, but Arkansans have actually edged out Missourians when it comes to White House brain-trusters. Leslie Bl1- file, Secretary of the Senate and closest friend Truman has, is from Arkansas. John Steelman, the war reconverter, was born and reared in Arkansas though more latterly claimed by Alabama. John Sny- der, the Secretary of the Treasury, spent all his life as an Arkansas bank k-teller until moving to Mis- souri recently.
 For a long time this group has kept it's Arkansas colleague Sena- tor Fulbright pretty much out in the cold. He had married Penn

 There will be 34 musicians giv- ing the program, which has beer picked for popularity that will please all classes of band music The 34 musicians have been prac- ticing for weeks on the program and it's rendition is going to sur prise those in attendance by it's excellency.
 Now, just a word about the di- rector, Joseph Shofner. He went to the University of Arkansas and Texas Tech and was student di- rector of the University of Arkansas band. He studied conducting and band technique under several we'll known directors: Dr. A. A. Hard ing of the University of Illinois, William D. Revelli of Michigan University, and O. D. Wiley of Texas Tech.
 He developed the outstanding high school band at Forest City Arkansas, winning nine first places in II contests.
 During world war No. 2 he was with the U. s. Army Paratroops in the states and overseas, as Regi- mental Liaison Officer with the 515th Parachute Infantry.
 Shofner came to Juneau last March 25 to be band instructor on the Juneau High School staff, then consented to take over the di- rectorship of the newly organized Juneau City band and will conduct the concert tomorrow night.
