STREETS OF MAR5E|LLE
 pATR0lLED
Communist Labor Leaders Issue GenerI Strike Call
 Trouble Starts

MARSEILLE, Nov. 13. = lR - Troops and mobile guards were called out to patrol the streets of Marseille today as Communist la bor leaders issued a general strike call following day of rioting in which one person was fatally wounded and six others hurt.
 While the Communists claimed their strike call had met a wide response among factory hands, in- d.cations as the day advanced were that workers were sticking to their jobs except in trades in which their unions previously had ordered strikes.
 Affected were all seamen, long shcremen and members of the met al, building and chemical workers unions. Some food packers also were reported out.
 All shipping Ill the port was tied up by the strike, which began as a protest against an increase in street car fares and assumed broad CT proportions following the arrest of four union demonstrators Mon day.
 A meeting of the Rhone Delta Central Council of Trade Unions was called Tor tomorrow to decide whether to heed the Communist appeal for a general strike. An af- firmative decision would affect the entire department-an area extend ing along more than 60 miles of industrialized coastline and taking in the inland cities of Aries and Ak.
 At least a score of persons, in cluding Mayor Carlini and assist ant Mayor Pierre Milani, were in jured during yesterdays rioting. Both officials, members of Gen. Charles de Gauule's Rally of the French People (RPF) which oust- ed the Communists in recent nun icipal elections, were beaten by Communist demonstrators and spent the night hospitalized in private clinics.
 Milani suffered painful head ln- juries and was denied visitors.
 The most serious casualties oc- cured last night when, according to accounts in the Moderate Press, gangster elements operating some bars turned submachine guns on demonstrators who were said to be footing their establishments.

HALT TRADE
 WITH RUSS
 SUGGESTED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-R- Rep. Lodge (R-ConnD proposed to- day that the United States should invoke economic sanctions against Russia and her satellites.
 Secretary of Commerce Hartman agreed immediately that this country should cut off any ex- ports which would contribute to the military strength of the Soviet bloc.
 Hartman, former U.. S. Ambass- ador to Russia, told the House For eign Affairs committee:
 Export licenses can be used to invoke economic sanctions, bu' I prefer persuasion.
 T don't think it would be proper to attempt to shut off trade, but I believe we should not ship our materials which are direct con- tribution to the military strength of the eastern European countries. v
 Hartman testified today he would favor stopping at once any American aid to nation which might in the future come under the influence of Russia.

r HAWKING, Nov. f3: tH- Rem- nants of two Nationalist regiments trapped in the heart of Shihkiach- wang by Chinese Communists who now control the rail hub 172 miles southwest of Peiping have been giv- en up for lost, government offi- cial said today.
 It. Gen. Teng Wen-yi, informa- ton director for the National De- fense Ministry, said endorsements rushing to the rescue of the trap ped men would be unable to save them from sure death. He said 100000 Communists under Gen. Mich Yung ching controlled all strategic corners of the city and had cut all possible routes of es- cape.
 Teng told a news conference the main body of government forces was withdrawn from Shihkiach- wang a month ago flor strategi- cal reasons" leaving the city's de- fense in the hands of the two regi- ments, which originally totaled 10000 men.
 Earlier dispatches said the Reds had smashed the last core of re- sistance in the city and had begun moving out their booty. Much of the city was in ruins.

ELECTRICITY IN
 SHORT SUPPLY
 FOR JAPANESE

TOKYO, Nov. 13.-tR-The av- craze Japanese household will be limited to 25 kilowatts of electricity monthly, effective Dec. 1, as Japan hoards it's meager supply of power.
 Small additional quantities will be available to students, the sick, nurses, and families where birth, death or marriage occurs. Homes in areas of heavy snowfall will be granted an additional 20 per- cent. The restrictions have led to a brisk market in generators, espec- ially among theatre, dancehall and geisha house operators. One Japa- nese bought a diesel generator which formerly powered a subma- rine to turn the reels in his movie house.

GERMAN
 PEOPLE
 WARNED
Official American Military Government Radio
 Broadcast Is Given

BERLIN, Nov 13.-lR-Launch- ing an official radio campaign against Communism. a spokesman for the American Military Govern ment told the German people to- night that Communism now threat ems to enslave them as Nazism once did
 He promised the Germans the United States would agree to the political unification of a partition cd Germany only in such a way as to forever eliminate the disre- gard of individual rights"
 President Lincoln's statement that nation cannot exist half slave and half free is as applicable to modern Germany and to the modern world as it was to 18th century America" he said.
 Ant.-Campaign
 The, speaker was Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, Director of AMG's Civ il Administration Division. His ad- dress was the first in a series of weekly brcadoasts scheduled by AMG in its ti-Communism cam pa!gn entitled Freedom Versus Totalitarianism." He spoke over the American controlled station here and the American zones radio net work
 Litchfield. former educator from Lansing, Mich, told the Ger mans that Communism stood for the suppression of the individual and the systematic denial of the basic rights of free men,"
 Methodology
 Without mentioning the Russians or the administration of their oc- cupation zone of Germany directly, he described Communist method ology" in the conduct of elections. press control and perpetration of government sponsored kidnapings."
 Litchfield said mmunism meant the suppression of free ex- pression and that part of the press which is opposed to the govern ment's views and a 'one-party domination
 In contrast, he said, it is the American ann to give the Germans freedom of expression and free dom from fear that they may be snatched away from their homes and families
 Tn democratic society" he said, men do not lie in constant fear of the policeman who comes without warning fear of long pri- son terms without trials, fear of systematic beatings without pro- vocation, fear of government-spon- sored kidnapings."

LABOR GOVT. TAX BUDGET
 IS A5SAILED
English Spending Power Is Further Curbed by New
 Measure Introduced

LONDON, Nov. 1s.--R-Britons of all classes grumbled today over terms of the Labor Government $ interim autumn budget calling for new curbs on spending power to reduce inflationary buying, but newspapers protested that the mea- sures were not sufficiently severe.
 Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton's budget proposals, submit ted in the House of Commons yes- terday, would affect rich and poor alike. The budget demanded twice as big a slice of company earnings, higher purchase taxes and other revenues.
 It also slapped taxes on dog rac- ing and football pool betting and upped the cost of pint of beer one pence (two cents).
 T don't expect this to be pop ular budget Dalton said last night in a radio address explaining the fiscal proposals to the British people.
 Dalton said the proposed reven- ues would mop up an additional $832 100000 in annual surplus spend- ing power, estimated at around S3,- 200,000,0O0.
 Lord Beaverbrook' Daily Express greeted the proposals with the headline everything up except smoke),' but many leading editor ial writers assailed them as halfway measures.
 Only the Laborite Daily Herald expressed outright approval, com- menting that the measures which the government has taken 'so far have prevented that breakaway in flation' which afflicts many other countries"
 The Independent Times criticized Dalton's half measures" for failure to. strike a note of urgency.

De Gasperi Government Is Assaulted by Rioiing Reds
 -PoIiee on Firing Lines

NAPLES, Italy, Nov. l3.-IR- Police fired on Communist demonstrators here today as Italy wave of political turmoil spread southward Several wounded were hospitalized
 Industrial Northern Italy, prom inently leftist, was quiet but tense after a week of violence and blood shed in the Burgeoning assault from the left against Premier AL eide de Gasperi's Christian Demo- cratic government.
 Naples police, in light armored cars, moved in on the heart o1 the city where a demonstration was held to protest against what Socialists and Communists called "neo-fascist" provocations in Milar and elsewhere in the north.
 Some demonstrators used teal gas bombs against the police and were reported to have fired shots in the air.
 The demonstrators assembled in Naples Municipio Square and then marched through the main streets, attacking newspaper stands on the way and ripping and burning rightist newspapers.
 At least two persons died in the north's week of violence. In Med iglia a man described as mem Der of the rightist Uomo Qualun- que Common Man party had fir ed into a leftist parade, killing one man and wounding two others. The enraged marchers beat him to death.
 Protest meetings boiled over in three cities. In Milan, Communist groups rioted for seven hours. In Bologna a bomb smashed windows in Monarchist headquarters and crowds burned right wing news papers. In Venice lefists wrecked Uomo Qualunque offices.
