Deeper Military Cuts
Reported Planned by
AttIee Government
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Sept. 10.-A highly
placed government source said to-
day that Britain would cut her
armed forces below the strength
originally contemplated in Prime
Minister Attlee's economic crisis
program.
The cuts, whose exact extent has
not been determined, will rot mean
any new revision of strategic con-
cepts," he added.
Mr.. Attlee originally proposed to
reduce the British forces to 1907 900
by the end of March, 1913, to reduce
government expenses and free men
for civilian labor. The forces now
total 100000.
Other developments in the eco
nomic sphere:
American Secretary Of the Treas
ury Snyder conferred privately to-
day with Hugh Dalton, Chancellor
of the Exchequer. A government
source said it was safe assunp-
ton" that Mr.. Dalton inquired
about the possibility OF the United
States releasing the frozen portion
of her $3,750,000, 900 loan 10 Brit
ain. The last S400, 0O0, 900 was frozen
after Britain withdrew permission
for other governments to change
their British currency into dollars.
Goal 100 Per Cent of 1888 Exports.
The British source said that
under a plan which the Board of
Trade president, Sir Stafford Grips,
will announce Friday, Britain
would attempt to increase exports
to 140 per cent of the 1888 level by
the middle of 1948 and to 100 per
cent by the end of 1913.
The cabinet was reliably reported
to have approved the plan yester-
day. Among the measures to be
taken to reach the goal, govern
ment sources have said, will be a
limited direction of labor. The plan
also will set up restrictions on cap
ital investments, according to Gov
eminent information.
The government continued infor-
NAL economic talks with financial
experts representing other countries
in the sterling area. Details were
withheld.
A government source again de-
MED reports of an impending major
shakeup in top levels Of the govern
ment. He said, however, that minis
terial changes on a secondary level
were probable before Parliament re-
convened October 20.
Strike Hits More Mines.
Before the House of Commons
adjourned for summer recess, Prime
Minister Attlee had proposed an
export goal 60 per cent above 1898,
or some 40 per cent above current
production.
The cabinets reported approval OF
this objective came as new mines
became involved in a five-week- old
Yorkshire coal strike said to have
cost 100000 tons. Between $4,000
and $4,000 miners and 48 mines
were idle.
Britain has been counting on coal
to help bring her exports up toward
balance with her imports.
The House of Lords, breaking It's
recess, met yesterday to study gov
eminent performance under the
Emergency Powers Act but, after
speechmaking, adjourned till Octo-
Der 20, when both Houses will con-
vene again.

Soviet Magazine Attacks
U.S.. Knights of Columbus
by the Assoeiofed Press


LONDON, Sept. 10.-The Russian
magazine New Times dashed out
yesterday at the American Knights
of Columbus, saying the organiza-
ton "propagates full Fascist ideas
and race hatred under the guise of
perfecting Americanism, the Amer
lean way of life and American de-
mocracy."
In comment quoted by Moscow
radio, the New Times added:
1.-THE Knights of Columbus have
a very definite aim. This Is one of
the organizations which are trying
hard to swing the United States
into a Fascist course. Such organi-
cations represent a direct threat to
the American people and a menace
to other nations"

Stay of Execution for
Petkov. Agrarian Chief
Hannegsn's Decision

Although THE resignation of
Democratic National Chairman
Robert Hannegan seemed pretty
well set, there's a faint chance
that Hannegan will refuse to
obey the advice of his physi-
clans and quit.
Highly placed Democratic
sources say that Hannegan lis
just bull-headed enough" to
stay on as chairman if he gets
"his Irish up" Also, they
claim that the chances are even
greater that flanagan will
remain as postmaster general.
However, the party spokes-
man said that there's no doubt
that President Truman could
persuade flanagan to quit
even if physicians fail.
If Hannegan resigns, Score
tary of Agriculture Clinton An
derson is a good bet to succeed
him, but there are other posi-
bilities. One is former Rep.
Joseph Casey Id. Mass, now in
Washington, another is Rhode
Islands Senator J. Howard Me
Grath, a political-Wise young
legislator.
There are those who are
s%tringing along with the idea
that young Gael Sullivan, who
has been running the party as
Democratic executive director
in Hanncgan's absence, might
be elevated to the ehairmanship.
Most sources doubt the selec-
ton of Sullivan, but some par
ty men say the Democrats

blings Of Senator Taft in try
ing 10 shift the blame for run
away prices from the shoulders
of the Republican party, where
ii rightfully belongs. He now
tells us that inflationary prices
r due to high taxes. High
taxes, he said, exist because of
President Truman, who twice
vetoed the Republican tax re-
duction bill. Therefore, he
brilliantly deduces, President
Truman Is responsible for high
prices and initiation. This is the
rankest of nonsense and belongs
in the same category as other
silly remarks by the Senator,
such as advising the American
public to eat less meat and
bread to bring down prices.
Radio broadcasts and news
stories distributed by some wire
services concerning the hurri-
cane damage in Pascagoula

comparison to her sister cities
lower down the coast, suffered
but minor damage in the storm.
Yet broadcasts and news stories
ranged from reports of com

huge property damage. We
realize, of course, that commun-
ications were virtually non-ex-

the hurricane. But RESPONSE

Capital Comment
u. s.. Britain May Yet
Save Life of Bulgarian
Special to Central Press

oPtNAdA ~ OCilhl Oh 100
Washington-Despite the curt
Russian rejection of Anglo-Am-
erican efforts to save the life
of Bulgarian political leader
Nikola Petkov. there still re-
mains a good chance that future
eVRnts will bring about a mi
tigation of his death sentence.
Petkov, leader of the Bull
garian agrarian party, which
recently was outlawed for its
opposition to the Communist
inspired majority group in the
parliament, has a several
stay of execution while
his appeal is being considered
under Bulgarian law.
The General Assembly of the
United Nations meets next
month, in ample time to bring
pressure to bear against Bull
garia to keep her from carry
ing out the death sentence
against Petkov.
In the meantime, it can be ex-
pected that the United States
and Britain will maintain unre-
mitting pressure on the Bull
garian government because of
its action.
Russia was able to block di-
rect Anglo American action in
the case only because of the re-
quirement of unanimity of the
three great powers in dealing
with the situation in Bulgaria
through the Allied Control
Commission.
Certainly, pending clarified
ton Of the Petkov incident, the
Bulgarian government faces
continuing economic sanctions
by the two western powers.
In the event of Petkov's even
tual execution, longtime re-
prlsals can be expected in the
economic and diplomatic fields.

ridiculous precision.
How many hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars worth of cash

Further down, we we're able
to drive for a short distance
along the beach front before be-
ing directed to the back road
again. Scenes of destruction
became common place as we
moved slowly through that once
beautiful section. Some of the
finest homes were heavily dam
aged between Biloxi and Gulf
port and those of lighter con-
struction had been completely
Quilted or overturned.
Huge logs, some as much as
three feet in diameter and thir-
ty feet long, were strewn ev-
erywhere and it was obvious
that the giant waves had en-
ployed them as battering rams
against the buildings. At one
point we saw a solid brick
fence a foot thick which had
been shorn in the center by
some terrific force.
After a detour between BIZ
loxi and Gulfport and taking
the backroad to Pass Christian,
we hit the beach again and
saw scenes of destruction that
dwarfed even those we had
seen before. Famed Million
naires' Row on West Beach in
Pass Christian, perhaps the
swankiest and one of the most
beautiful sections of the Gulf
coast, was in shambles.
Large houses YER Quilted
and smaller ones were washed
away. Even houses a good
hundred yards from the water
were seriously damaged and it
seemed that no one house in
the section completely escaped.
What really made a road
conscious man sad was the
broken concrete and sand-rut-
ted pass that had been the beau
tiful four-lane drive along the
coast until last Thursday.
The two-lane strip next to
the water was a total loss in
the Pass Christian sector and
even the foundation had wash
ed away. As YOU know, it was
the first link in a proposed
four-lane drive from New Or
leans TO Mobile, which would
have taken years to construct,
at best.
We had hoped to live long
enough to see our end of it
constructed. Naturally we
would be last, as we are in all
dealings with the state.
But now we get a vision of
u. S. 90 stretching down
through the years, the bridges
between Pascagoula and eau
tier swaving lower and lower
and the holes in the pavement
getting deeper, the curves get
