Despite Victory in Court
BY the Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 1.-The
last of Kentucky's SO distilleries
closed at midnight last night in
compliance with the request of the
National Citizens Food Committee.
Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc,
Bardstown, was advised yesterday
that Heaven Hill Corp, Los Angeles,
would withdraw its objections to a
shutdown. The California firm pre-
viously had obtained court order
here directing the BardstoWn COM
pany to fulfill it's contract for sup
plying ITO barrels of whisky daily.
John K. Skaggs, jr., attorney for
the Bardstown firm, said the COM
pany had been advised by Oliver I.
jacobson, president of the California
company, that the distributors would
order their lawyers to move to dis
miss the action and set aside the
ruling.
Court action was taken after the
California firm threatened to sue
for damages if the distillery closed,
Mr. Skaggs said.
Distilleries of the Nation closed at
midnight, October 25, for a 60-day
period at the request of the Food
Committee to save grain for ship

THE obstructionist and pro-

sembly cannot detract from the
importance of the Soviet propos-
ais for general disarmament, pro-

THE American pretenders to

the idea of greater prestige OF

they pursue a policy which leads
to its disintegration and destruc-

Cream Prices Will Go Up Here
Conforming to Milk Increase
Some Washington Doiries Make Higher
Charges Today, Others in Line Monday

A 1R-cent increase was an
nounced yesterday as the result Of
an authorization by the Virgins
Milk Commission for a cent-a-quart
increase in the hundredweight price
of milk to producers. Dairy dis.
tributors added another half cent
to meet their own higher costs. Ir
general, retail stores were selling
the milk at 2 cents quart higher
An official of one of the largest
concerns explained that it would be
impractical to deal in half-cent
figures in retail sales in stores and
home deliveries. Accordingly, the
average increase at retail is from
II to 10 cents a quart over the
counter, and from 10 to 81 cents
delivered.
Although the commission order
did not relate to cream, most of the
larger dairies here were planning to
adjust cream prices in Washington
to conform to previously existing
levels in Virginia.

Joint Chiefs of Stuff
BY the Associated Press

A unified command for the
Caribbean defense system, with
1t. Gen. Willis D. Crittenberge1
in charge, was announced today
by the joint Chiefs of Staff.
Creation of a unified command
for the Caribbean is in line with a
policy adopted last year and an
nounced in December as approved
by President Truman.
Under that program, seven unified
commands either have been or will
be set up for regions of military i'm
portance to the United States. Each
will be under single commander.
Exceptions Listed.
Gen. Crittenberger, now Army
commander for the Caribbean, has
been assigned command of all Unit
ed States forces in the islands of
the Caribbean and in the Panama
department with these exceptions:
Fleet facilities and bases al
Roosevelt Roads, Trinidad, and
Guantanamo, and fleet air wings
and feet vessels temporarily based
in. the Antilles, which will remain
under operational control of Ad-
miraI William H. P. Blandy, COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic
Fleet.
The announcement said that Ad-
miral Blandy continues in COM
mand of the Atlantic Fleet with
control over all naval forces in the
Atlantic except those fleet air wings
and other fleet units assigned tt
bases under Gen. Crittenberger, anc
except those assigned to Admira

and Admiral Connolly have beer
placed under the direction of the
joint chiefs.
Today's announcement leaves only
one of the seven previously an.
nounced combined comand areas moi
flled-the Northeast command. Al
the time the Army and Navy an
nounced the system last December
they said the Northeast command
would include United States bases

of what bases were included in the
command or whether they embraced

U. 5. Reported Willing
To Compromise With
Russia on HoIyLand
Plan for EorIy Division
Hinges on British, Arob
And Soviet Acceptance
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. IA
United States hurry up" pro-
poSal for creation of sovereign
Arab and Jewish nations in Pal
estine by next July l hinged to-
day on British, Arab and Rus
sian acceptance.
An authoritative source limited
that the United States might be
willing to seek compromise with
Russia over differences now existing
between these two major powers on
the future of a partitioned Holy
Land.
This development came as a Spe-
cial Palestine subcommittee of the
United Nations Assembly prepared
to resume debate in secret session
on measures for implementlng the
proposed partition.
The Russian have suggested that
any partition enforcement measures
be placed under the jurisdiction OF
the 11-Nation Security Council
where the five big powers have the
veto.
Three-Man Commission Urged.
The United States has proposed
that the General Assembly establish
a three-man U. N. Commission to go
to Palestine after any proposed
partition decision is taken and act
in any advisory capacity to the
two new countries until independ-
ence is eSta bliShed.
At a news conference yesterday
United States Delegate Herschel V.
Johnson said this commission should
report to the General Assembly.
/ An authoritative source said the
/ United States might be willing Tor
/ the commission to report to the
, Security Council if that would sat-
isfv Russian insistence that enforce
ment be left to the 1l-nation body
On the other hand, the United
States was reported ready to insist
that even should the commission
report to the Security Council, the
General Assembly must retain con-
troll.
Russia Voices Resentment.
Meanwhile, the first outspoken
Soviet resentment in this United
Nations Assembly against repeated
drubbings by the mechanical ma
| iorities" of the United States and
Britain raised an obstacle in the
path of the small countries trying
to reconcile big-poWer differences.
The Russians fared up momen-
tarily in debate on a Yugoslav reSo-
! luton on war criminals and U. N.
observers noted that it was the most
pronounced Soviet reaction to the
steady parade of American and Brit
ish majorities yet registered in the
| U. N.
This turn in the u N. Assembly
came as the delegates Of 81 nations
meeting in full session in Flushing
| Meadows Waded through a series of
minor proposals to try to get to the
important resolution against aggres-
Sive propaganda. That item was re-
ported unanimously to the full As
sembly by the Political Committee
after Russian bloc lost a hard fight
to have the delegates condemn
criminal propaganda for war"
which it charged was particularly
prevalent in the United States,
Greece and Turkey.
The delegates hoped to take up
that item late today.
