 The President dodged this ques- tion, but assured Kilgore steps will be taken to channel food to the coal fields. He said he would con- fer with Secretary Anderson about the possibility of channeling food to the West Virginia miners.

 The idea behind this is that Ar gentina would thereby be forced to put it's domestic house in order, according to generally accepted democratic principles, before Peron could sign a military pact with the other twenty republics.

 LiberaIized
 To Hunt Oil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Liber- alized regulations governing the exploration and development of oil and gas resources on Federal pub lie lands were announced today by Undersscretary of the Interior Os- car L. Chapman
 The new regulations are based on amendments to the mineral leasing act passed by the last Congress.
 Overall they set new standards for acreage holdings, rates of rem tai and royalty, and terms of leas- ing public lands for oil develop ment.
 They were described by Chapman as marking in a real sense. [. the beginning of new era in oil and gas development in the west in which the government and both large and small operators in the in- dustry can work in closer coopera- tion and with greater incentive than before in the production of an adequate supply of this vital na- tional asset"
 He said they would be put into immediate effect fin order that the benefits which they afford may be available to the industry at the earliest possible moment"
 Among other things, Chapman said, the new regulations provide tor. an increase in the amount of land which a lessor may hold in one state rom 1880 acres to 15,- 360 acres.
 The old regulation limiting the amount of land that can be leased In known geological structure to z,560 acres is eliminated.

 The OPA is continuing it's speeded up decontrol program. The agency has taken price lids off host of things ranging from radios to fun erals-with the emphasis on small things that go into furnishing home. OPA says that in all cases, the supply of these items either is equal to the demand, or the item itself is not important to the cost of living.
 In addition to radios of all types, price ceilings no longer apply to el- ectric photographs, kitchenware and glassware, lamps and small electri- cal appliances, all clocks and scores of other types of consumer durable goods.
 However, ceilings remain on household mechanical refrigerators, washing machines, electric ranges, vacuum cleaners, cooking and heat ing stoves, floor coverings and all major items of furniture and bed- ding.

SUBSIDY FOR SHIPPING IS
 PUT FORTH

WASHINGTON, Oct 30 = Adm. w. w. Smith, Chairman of the Maritime Commission, told the Interstate Commerce Commission today that a Government subsidy is the only alternative to higher rates for coastal and intercoastal shipping operators.
 Smith made the statement in supporting the Maritime Commis- sion's petition for an overall in vestigation by ICC of competitive water and rail rates and practices.
 The Maritime head said his ag- ency felt that national security as well as national economy will be jeopardized unless the domestic merchant service is rescued from what he described as an increas- ingly unprofitable operation.
 He contended that the Govern ment agencies responsible for de- fense are obligated to find mea- sures to meet the problem"
 "If they do not" Smith assert ed, then we are forced to the con- clusion that the only alternative to the reestablishment of these do- mestic services on profitable bas- is would be direct Government sub cidv"

 T issue the permits and they definitely haven't approached me. If they did apply here, they would get one since we would assume that all Customs regulations had been complied with at the border
 He suggested that If" convoy is being held up it would be at the border.
 Officials at the American air base in Edmonton also said they had not heard of any convoy nor had they been asked for assist ance.

Railway Station Blasted by Bombs Brought in by
 Young Girl
By CARTER L. DAVIDSON

JERUSALEM, Oct. 30-Terror- ists who police said were Jews ey- ploded three bombs at Jerusalem s Central Railway Station today af- ter gun battle with authorities and three persons were reported dead or missing.
 At dawn, two soldiers were killed and ten injured when persons de- scribed as Jewish underground members exploded land mine un- der a convoy inside the city. Four bandits robbed two Polish cashiers of $2000 in Tel Aviv in other vio- lence of the day.
 The entrance and waiting room of the rail station were wrecked and part of the loading platform was demolished by the explosions. A police sergeant carrying out one of the bombs was blown to bits at the doorway when it went off
 Three ot the terrorists, who ar rived with tommyguns in two taxicabs, were arrested. Two of them were wounded.
 From the various stories spring ing up, the most reliable evidence pointed to this sequence of events:
 At 2;30 a young and well dressed girl entered the station waiting room and put two heavy suitcases lin a corner of the room. A sta- Ition attendant questioned her about the luggage and she started running. She drew a revolver from her handbag and fired shot which missed the attendant but served as a signal to two taxicahs waiting in the station drive 50 yards away.
 The cabs pulled up to the sta- tion entrance and seven youths alighted, three with tommyguns and four in British Army uni forms. Police and guards around the station opened fire.
 In the subsequent getaway eff fort, four of the youths fled on foot and three in one of the cabs. One taxi was seized while a run ming gun fight ensued in the direc- tion of the old city. The girl ap- parently escaped during the excite ment.

H0i Time in Politics in
 Denver Today
(By ASSOCIATED PREss)

 The prediction campaign is get ting hotter by the minute and per haps no place has it become more heated than in Denver, Colorado.
 For today, Colorado Democratic Chairman Eugene Cervi is threat ening to have the law on the Re- publicans - and he's not fooling about it. Cervi is wrought up over tonights scheduled Republican ral- ly at the Denvep Auditorium to which the public has been invited

 Tonight the Denver Republicans are planning to give away 1892 pairs of nylon hose, 48 packages of soap chips, "A three-pound jars of short ening and fifty white shirts to holders of lucky numbers at the rally.
 Says Cervi: We will take what ever court action is necessary to prevent Republican leaders from violating election laws
 Cervi contends that the prizes constitute illegal premiums offered in exchange for votes. And, says Cervi
 "The Democratic Party isn't in the grocery business"
 All of which had led COP Pub licity Director Ed Hunter to de- clare:
 We're going on with the raily We're just going to show the people these are the things you can get plenty of when you elect Republi- cans"
 The Republicans say it is defin- itely not a case of box of soap chips for a vote. But the Demo- crats say they're going to go tc court to find out about that.

BYRNES GIVEN KN0TTY ISSUE FOR DECISION
Must Give Opinion Re- garding Round World
 Flight by Supers
By GRAHAM HovEY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Secre- tary of State Byrnes today sought the answer to this ticklish ques- tion tossed at him by the War De- partment: Should he approve a round-the-w world flight by a fleet of Army B-29 Superforts?
 State Department officials re- gard the problem as delicate for several reasons.
 First: They say the Army Air Forces put Byrnes on the spot by announcing October 8 - without consulting the State Department that eight to 24 Of the big bombers would make the flight If the State Department approves.
 Actually, the formal request for permission to carry out the pro- ject reached Byrnes' desk only late yesterday.
 Then, some department officials believe that since the end of the war, both the Army and Navy on occasion have attempted to edge into States field of charting Ameri- can foreign policy. They regard the projected B-29 flight as the latest of these attempts.
 In this connection, there is a strong desire by many high-level State Department officials to avoid any act that could be called sword rattling." They believe any large scale demonstrations of American military might could be exploited particularly by Russia-to discredit this country's motives in interna- tional dealings.

 STARTING
 TROUBLE
Challenging Policy Speech is Made by Russian
 4-Poinf Program
(RY JOHN M. HIGHToWER)

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-Fears of new tensions between Russia and the western powers over atomic controls, disarmament, the veto and other critical issues swept through many United Nations Assembly delegations today as diplomats from 50 other member countries debated the challenging policy speech hurl- ed into the Assembly by Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Mol otov.
 The Soviet leader topped off his speech yesterday with a four-point arms reduction program, including a request for action by the Assemb- ly to try to get the United States to stop making atomic bombs.
 American and other major dele gation members were reported con- sidering what response they might make to this as well as to various charges laid down by Molotov in blunt, sometimes harsh, language.
 No Revision
 Warren R. Austin, chief United States delegate, had an opportunity to respond to the Russian leader today He is scheduled to speak during the late afternoon Assembly session, but aides reported he cer- tainly will not revise the main body of his address.
 It was prepared before Molotov tossed his oratorical hombshell in a lively session last night, and re- portedly deals in conciliatory vein with the veto issue and other LIN constitutional problems.
 MoIotov's Blast
 Molotov assailed Winston Chur- chill as a prophet" of aggressive, imperialist circles" in America and Britain and blasted Bernard Bar uch, U s. member of the LIN Atomic Commission, for allegedly holding a militant philosophy" leading toward a new agression."
 He attacked the atomic control plan as designed to give this coun- try an atomic monopoly, asserted abolition of the veto would wreck the United Nations, and demanded LIN report on American and Bri- tish troops in foreign lands. Cap ping off his address with the four point arms production plan, he urg- cd the Assembly to act on it at once. This produced one of the most dramatic incidents in the Assembly to date.
 New Molo.0v Action
 Molotov had spoken in Russian. When he finished he had to wait through two long translations of his 7,OO0-word speech, one into English, the other into French. When the interpreters finished, Assembly President Paul-Henrf Spaak of Belgium asked if there was any more business before he adjourned the session. The hall was already largely empty.
 Molotov sprang suddenly to his feet and said: The Soviet delega- tion calls on the other delegations to express their views on disarma- ment."
 The other delegations were
