Britain's Stiffening Attitude
(New York sum


 Although Foreign Minister Bevin agreed with For plan should not be taken before Russia had had a chance to come in he made it clear in speech before Parliament that British patience with Moscow is about exhausted possibly the most blunt and fortnight address since took charge of British foreign affairs Bevin declared that he did not intend to be "a party to holding up the recovery of Europe by mess of procedure. terms of reference and all the para phernalia which may go with it." that marked the fruitless session in Moscow With the opposition nod ding approval he warned If there is to be conflict of ideooges shall regret it. but if it is forced upon us we must face it." When he had finished all except a few rabd left-wingers in Commons joined in the cheering.
 Altogether, the British Minister furnished wealth of material on which Pravda go to town That paper which worked itself into such father when retired American Under-Secretary of State blamed bigger target Furthermore, Dean Acheson was nowhere nearly as specific as Bevin who, after citing conditions ill Hungary Poland, Bulgaria and Greece observed The beginning of all the trouble was Rus sia It was not Britain. It not the United states The British statesman went far as to brand the Soviet puppets of eastern Europe dicators who in the end must fail as dictators always have failed when they attempted to suppress liberty in the world For all its sociasc experimentation Britain still re- sents restraints what Bevn called the undetlnable things that go to make up the soul of man" De- lending those things in theological conflict the United States is not standing alone.

Crisis Anead-Of Here.
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The average male, with considerable alarm, notes that womens dresses are the toboggan-going down fast We don't they're dropping in price-un- fortunately Rather they're being heightened by those mysterious and entirely cratic forces which regulate ladies styles.
 We view this condition with alarm for two very good reasons. When we've given them you may deduct that the writer of these lines is no lady himself!
 First, we're sad because the longer dresses will hide charms which appeal to the male eye. We men, folk don't crave dresses which too short Skirts cut too high to throw the gals out of balance make 'em look top-heavy. But we don't crave em too long either. Those ankle-brushing numbers they used to wear ugly sinl In our opinion, the styles of couple of weeks ago just about right
 Our second reason for battling the change has an economic angle. We understand, from things heard around the house that of last summers dresses is worth tinkers durn right now. Furthermore, last fall and winters suits too, must go into the ash can Serious business you ask us!presuming of course, that the old wardrobes will be replaced by new ones
 Thinking the thing through we can't decide just what to do about it. The gals blame the condition on the stylists But maybe this isn't altogther true. Maybe the gals themselves have something to do with it. Anyhow it has been experience that few women will turn down wardrobe specially when they have good excuse for buying it!

PROTECTING ARABIAN ROY

His Royal Highness, Prince Ab- dullah of. Yemen, won't know it until he reads it here, but the Se- cret Service men assigned to guard him have been most aSsiduous.
 Tn other night the colorful Ar abian leader and his visiting col leagues were guests at State De- partment party. The Prince, whose ratiye land is far removed from civilization, noticed a guest drink ng a 'scotch and soda," and he asked fer similar drink In mo- ment a Secret Service man was at his side with glass of iced orange juice.
 The Prince s.pped the juice, but pro; ested that the color was diff ferent from the drink he had seen ill another guests hand.
 Oh yes, it is, Your Highness, '' said the Secret Service man. "The di. ference m color is accounted for by the fact that your drink is the type reserved only for royalty"

Yet at the very moment Frankie Costello was taking his solemn oath as an American citizen, he was also engaged in the largest scale violation of the Volstead Act and the 18th amendment in the history of prohibition. It was Cos tello who equipped speedboats with machine guns, who operated a powerful fleet oi trucks and rum runners, and who brought more liquor into the USA perhaps than any other man in America.
 The 18th amendment at that time was a very definite part of the Constitution And while Costello was holding up his right hand and solcmnly swearing to uphold the Constitution, he was also engaged in violating it.
 Ordinarily this would be consid- cred good and sufficient grounds for revokng Costellos citizenship and sending him back to his native Italy.

 They were given exactly 28 min dtes Chatham Knutson gave the AFL l5 minutes while the CIO got 13.
 Tn contrast, here is how Knut- sen stacks the cards in favor of big buisness. TO help write the l949 .aX bil, Knutson has appointed 6 special tax advisory committee most of whose members are already cn record for reducing higher bracket taxes and for imposing a DdiID bdA jFE Ol lilCoA tNOAAO mists as hitting low-income groups much harder than big business Here are some of the members of the Knutson advisory committee:

ANOTHER MISUNDERSTANDING

Senator Wild Bill Langer of North Dakota last week objected to the unanimous consent passage oi legislation authorizing the sale of pulp timber in Alaska.
 On Friday numerous telegrams, from AlsskanS he met during his visit to the Territory in l943, began arriving at his office On Saturday his answers ar rived. He, too, it seems, had been mlsled into De- leving that the legislation wasn't for the best interests of Alaska but now he is taking different slant on the leeisation which may be headed for home plate this week.
 All of which is another demonstration of the wise decision reached by the Juneau Chamber Of Commerce when they voted dispatch .Ianeau attorney Norman Banfield to Washington to correct any other mis- understandngs that might arise

PoCKETBOOK CONGRESSMAN

Add to the list of pocketbook Congressmer the name of Rep. Ross Ridley, Okla Republican. A pOckettoCk Congressman is one who puts the pocketbook interest ahead of the public interest, and the bill introduced by Rizley ex- empting the big gas companies from certain types of regulation by the Federal Power Commission cer- tainly appears to put him in the pocketbook class
 For it so happens that Rizley's law firm is listed as representing Republic Natural Gas, Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line and Cities Ser vice, one of the biggest gas distri- butors in the country.
 Apparently overlooking the fact that Congressmen are supposed to operate for public good not for the benefit of themselves or their law firms, Rep. R!zley wrote a bill for bidding the Federal Power Com mission. from regulating interstate gas transactions, preventing it from scrutinizing or regulating the cost of producing or collecting gas, and in some other respects permitting the gas companies to thumb their

Ito Halt Breakdown
By the Asseeiotsd Press

NEW DELHI, Nov. 10.-The
Dominion of India announced
today that it had taken over
temporary administration of the
predominantly Hindu state of
Junagadh, previously linked to
Pakistan by its Moslem ruler.
Jawaharal Nehru, Indian Prime
Minister, who made the announce
ment, said his government had
acted at the request of Shah Nawaz
Bhutto, premier of the 4,100-square
mile state, to save it from a COM
plete administrative breakdown"
Mr.. Nehru said Pakistan had not
been consulted in advance, but
added that the Pakistan govern
ment had been invited to send a
representative to Junagadh within
few days" to discuss the situation
with an Indian minister.
Indian Troops Enter Area.
A spokesman for the Indian
States Ministry disclosed that In
dian troops had begun moving into
Junagadh yesterday and said no
opposition was expected. Several
Indian battalions, he said, have
been posted at strategic points along
the Junagadh frontier since it ac-
ceded to Pakistan in order to reas-
sure the Hindu population.
Junagadh, a princely state with a
population of 10000, is situated on
the Kathiawar peninsula midway
between Karachi and Bombay and
is surrounded by a number of small
states which have acceded to India.
India has from the outset dis
puted Junagadh's accession to Paki-
stan and has demanded that a
plebiscite be held to determine its
status. Pakistan has been reported
agreeable in principle to a plebiscite.
States Treasury Short.
An Indian spokesman said the
situation in Junagadh which led to
the appeal to New Delhi stemmed
from a shortage of funds in the
treasury, an inflltration of Moslems
and other Pakistan areas and gen.
eral dissatisfaction with accession
to Pakistan. The Nawab of Ju-
nagadh is now in Karachi, capital
Of Pakistan.
Eyewitness reports from Kash-
mir, meanwhile, indicated that In
dian troops there had gained the
upper hand over Pathan tribesmen
who invaded that province from
Pakistan's northwest frontier prov
ince two weeks ago.
Associated Press Photographer
Max Desfor, returning here with
pictures of the action in Kashmir
said the Pathans apparently had no
stomach for a standup fight with
the well-equipped Indian troops and
quoted observers as saying the back
bone of the invasion apparently was
broken.
