War Basis Measures
Pledged 10 Cope With
Massacres in India
BY The Assoeiated Press

NEW DELHI, Sept. 1o.-Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru Of the
month-old Dominion of India,
pledged government measures ION
a war basis" today to cope with
communal massacres blamed for
1000 Delhi deaths In three days.
In a radio speech last night, Mr..
Nehru declared that such measures
which he did not detail-were
necessary in the face of a situation
he called analogous to war" He
said the serious crisis" threatened
the future of India.
He declared, however, that the
military still were masters of the
situation" and shortly would be
more the masters" His address
followed reports from police and
army authorities that the rioting
let up somewhat yesterday, but gun
fire still resounded through the do
minion's capital and its older sister
city.
Dead Estimated at LOCO.
Sikhs and Hindus in predominant
ly Hindu India have been killing
Moslems in retaliation for the
slaughter of members of their re-
ligious communities in the Moslem
dominion of Pakistan.
Official sources estimated the dead
in New and Old Delhi at 1000 in
the three days ended yesterday. One
civil official said the killed and
wounded might run up to 10000.
The butchery and attendant burn
ing and looting have paralyzed the
life Of the twin cities and sent
thousands of their 100000 Moslems
fleeing toward Pakistan 300 miles
away, carrying their children and
goods.
The Moslem exodus followed an
importing of Sikh and Hindu refu-
gees from Pakistan.
Some Moslems who had left their
homes were gathered in refugee
camps.
Food Major Problem.
Food was becoming a major prob
lem, especially in the refugee camps.
In the cities many people have not
had regular meal in three days.
Households, issued week-by-week
rations from government shops, had
little food left. Hotels, unable to
get fresh vegetables, fruit and milk.
were making out with their stores
of canned goods. Restaurants have
been closed.
There were unconfirmed reports
in New Delhi Of sporadic looting
in the old city during relaxation
of the curfew this morning, but
only an occasional scattered shot
was heard.
People still seemed fearful and
suspicious. A half dozen shops
opened in New Delhi's Connaught
Circus business section today, but
they posted men at their steel front
gates to let only q few customers
in at a time. - -

Government labor conciliators
said today one provision of the
Taft Hartley law has led to settle
ment of at least 81 strikes in the
last six weeks.
The provision, set forth in three
printed lines of the law, calls for
conciliators to suggest a secret bal
lot among workers on accepting or
rejecting their employers final offer
in a dispute.
1t is up to the employer and union
to agree to such an election. Under
the law the plan is purely voluntary.
So, during the past six weeks, the
Cancellation Service has been sug-
costing such elections and already
almost 80 have been held.

the Agriculture Departments
monthly crop report prospects as
commodity markets spurted up
ward again yesterday.
The report, due at 3 pm, will give
new estimate of the country's corn
crop as of September /. Yields have
shown steady decline since July
because of dry weather in the prin-
cipal corn belt States.
In a separate report issued last
night, the department predicted
fewer cattle and sheep will be on
farms next year because of con-
tinued shortages Of feed. Ofncials
say this means higher meat prices
next year.
Grains Go Up Again.
Paced by wheat, corn and oats
which for the second day sold up 10
the permissible daily limits on the
Chicago Board of Trade, record
highs were set today in September
deliveries of corn and oats.
September corn was at the all
time record of $2.63 and September
oats reached $1.231a.
Wheat. soybeans and lard also
scared in active dealings. Wheat

in a wave of speculative buying,
jumped to 10 cents today and sent
the December delivery to $2.74A q
bushel. Corn staged a less sensa-
tional climb. The September de-
livery, the only option in which
there was early trading, rose 3 cents

Security First Objective.
Mr.. Brannaman, a World War ]

that the first WV objective will be
to fulfill its obligation" in cam
paigning for national security.
Certainly 1t must include bal.
ance of naval, land and air forces
supported by leadership in scientific
research and universal military
training" he said.
The No. / veterans problem, he
said, Is housing. A keynote OF the
organization's program Is support OF
the Taft Ellender- Wagner housing
measure. Increased BENEFITS fol
veterans fall into the top priority
group also, Mr.. Brannaman said.
Pensions for World War I vet
Grams are past due" he asserted
and we shall press for them in the
next session of Congress.
Others Elected.
At yesterdays final session Of a
convention that was marked by
controversial policy issues and in

Council Tries 10 End
Egypt Dispute Before
Assembly Convenes
By the A,seeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 10.-U,
N. Security Council delegates
struggled today to dispose of the
British Egyptian dispute before
the General Assembly opens next
Tuesday.
AS the Council prepared to go into
session at s pm, sChina,was reported
to have made a 1ast-rhinute attempt
to break the weeks-long deadlock
over Egypt's denand fof withdrawal
of British troops. =
Informed sources said China had
circulated a compromise proposal In
an effort to get unanimous agree
ment in the Council as well as be-
tween the two disputing parties. :
Britain Insists on Treaty. X
A British spokesman said his gov
eminent would accept any proposal
that called for resumption of nego-
tiations between Egypt and Britain
and that also recognized the validity
of the 1886 Anglo-Egyptian treaty.
However, some delegates privately
expressed the belief that the Council
might have to admit its inability to
find solution at the present time.
In addition to the Chinese efforts,
several other delegations were re-
ported working behind the scenes
on compromise suggestions.
When the Council put the ques-
ton aside temporarily August 20 for
its vacation it had defeated pro-
posals by Brazil and Colombia,
which called for a resumption of
direct negotiations by Britain and
Egypt on the question of withdraw
al of British troops from Egyptian
territory.
Argentinian Hits Council.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jose Arce of Ar
gentina, bitter foe of the big power
veto. blasted Security Councils fail
ure to dispose of disputes.
DR.. Arce suggested that the U. N.
Assembly stay in session continu-
ously to take over the job of settling
international disputes.
During a session yesterday of the
15-nation Committee on Proceed
ures, DR.. Arce declared, II am OPP
posed to the Assembly saving time
I think the Assembly should meet
all the year round so that some ma
tions will not try to impose their
leadership on the world"
The Security Council, in two
years, has done little" he said, land
this is the body that is wasting time.
l shall do everything possible to
have the Security Council work as
little as possible and have the AS
sembly work as much as possible.
