Pan-'American Board
Fayors Move 10 Check
Publicity in U. 5. Press
BY the A,,eeiaisd Pres,


The Pan American Union Gov
erning Board yesterday approved in
principle move to ascertain how
much interest its activities COM
mand in the United States press
compared to the Latin American.
This development followed charges
by Mexican Delegate Luis Quin-
tanilla that the American press is
"boycotting anything Latin Amer
ican." .
Basis of the action was q. joint
Chilean-Venezuelan resolution call
ing on the Union secretariat to
make regular reports on how much
publicity Is given to board debates
and acts in the American and Latin
American press.
Mexico = amended 1t to include
other Union activities as well.
Committee Set Up.
A six-nation committee was set up
to rewrite the resolution but senti-
ment was overwhelmingly in favor
Of the idea. United States Delegate
William Dawson made no comment.
Mr.. Quintanilla said nothing
happening in the union appears in
teresting to the American press, but
1t does interest our papers"
1--WE must register sorrowfully," he
declared, "this type of boycott on
anything Latin American"
Anything that can change this
attitude on the part Of the American
press" he continued, will be sup
ported by Mexico" ...~
Chilean Ambassador Felix Meta
Del Rio said the purpose Of the
resolution was to find out why the
American press doesn't publish any
thing about the board meeting while
the Latin American press does" :
I'm asking for this information" !"
he said, I'VE are trying to arrive at
a balance and find way out"
Election Ignored, He Says.
He said the election of q new
board chairman recently was not
mentioned in the Washington news
papers, although on the same day
ample space was given to diplo-
matte social events.
(The Star on November IL car
ried on Page 2 Of all editions the
story Of the election Of Juan
Bautista de Lavalle of Peru as
new chairman of the Pan Amer :
ican Governing Board)
Argentine Ambassador Oscar Ivan.
issevich said in general the Ameri-
can press rarely publishes Latin
American developments in the eco
nomic, juridical or financial fields.
He opposed the motion, however,
on grounds the better way would be
to seek the advice of reporters COW
ering the union.
Haitian Ambassador Joseph
Charles said the present situation
is a throwback to the days when
the board held closed meetings and
the press lost interest.
Nov the meetings are open," he
said, "and newspapermen are COM
ing but the press itself Is still dis
interested"

Egyptians Promised
Arms by Arab League
For Palestine Fight .
by ths Associated Press

CAIRO, Dec. 2.-Thousands of
Egyptians, demonstrating today
against the impending partition
Of Palestine, were promised IAN
abundance of arms" by Abdel
Rahman Azzam Pasha, secretary
general of the Arab League of
seven Middle Eastern states.
The riotous demonstrators, some
Of whom smashed windows of for
easn-owned shops, stoned an Egyp-
ttAn-owned night club and wrecked
posters advertising foreign movies
a1d American soft drinks, arrived
st Arab League headquarters shout
ing:
We want war. Azzam; we want
weapons, Azzam; we want revolu-
t4on, Azzarn."
Azsam urged the demonstrators
10 organize and work quietly and to
refrain from violence against Chris
uans. He said they should prepare
for long struggle to achieve Arab
aims.
LOOKING Tor freedom.
I'VE are determined to liberate
that sacred country-dear Palestine,
for which your grandfathers strug-
gled," Azzam declared. 1--WE are
looking for freedom everywhere
from East to West. We will start
struggle in Palestine and the final
victory will be ours. Palestine will
remain an Arab country. This false
resolution (partition) by the United
Nations will not affect us because
1t contradicts the right of self-de-
termination"
He advised the crowd not to COM
nit violence against Christians,
commenting that Christian Arabs
were "in the vanguard of the Arab
struggles"
I'VE know our enemies" Azzam
cried, I'VE will 60 to them, we will
fight them In regular armed strug-
gle. You will get arms-an abund-
ance of them"
Some estimates of the crowd
placed the number as high as TO-
600. Police cars appeared on all
sides.
Long live Hitler. the assassin of
the Jews" some youths in the crowd
shouted.
Greek Owned Cafe Stoned.
Some demonstrators stoned a
Gfeek-owned cafe in a downtown
business building where several
foreign firms, including American,
have ofiices.
Windows were shattered but no
one was injured by the stoning-the
first outbreak of violence since the
demonstrations began yesterday:
At least five different groups of
demonstrators marched through the
streets shouting against partition.
Scores Of trucks filled with police
carrying rifles and clubs followed
the trucks closely. Sudanese SOL
diers also were on duty armed with
whips. 81. -
The largest crowd, estimated at
about 5000 persons, gathered in
Opera Square, shouting mo Jews

want war" and long live the revolu-
tion"

Reds Walk Out Of Chamber.
Calas at first said he would not
leave except "by force" but when
the colonel made the regMation
three requests to Calas to go with
him, the Communist deputy as
sented and walked slowly out of
the chamber, followed after a few
moments by the other deputies, in
cluding Communist Leaders Maurice
Thorez, Jacques Duclos and Andre
Marty. They sang the French
national anthem on the way out.
The, Schuman antistrike bill,
which the Communist deputies are
fighting 90 bitterly, would give the
government power for three months
TO 4ane and jail strike agitators and
to apply doubly sti6 penalties for

One deputy supporting Mr.. Schu-
man declared: 1.-THE government
and the majority Of the Assembly,
al well Is the majority of the
French people, are determined to
fight international Communism In
France to the finish"
Less than q half hour before the
Communist demonstration in the
chamber ended, police moved in on
power plant strikers In six power
houses. When they had cleared
those plants. no powerhouses in

Avoidance of the appropriation
was accomplished by subsequent

. At Detroit, the Free Press first
Tuesday edition, usually on the

The Chicago newspapers are pub

Taft Offers Own Program.
In his speech at the 200th ami
versary dinner Of the st. Andrews So
ciety in Philadelphia, Senator Taft
who also heads the Senate Republi-
can Policy Committee and is run
ming for his party's presidential
nomination, listed an eight-point
program of his own designed to en-
courage Americans to produce more
and spend less. He proposed:
!. A campaign to increase pro-
ductivity per man through improved
machinery and better individual
work by the men," with any wage
increase conditioned ION a more
complete days work"
2. A cut in Government expenses
and taxes.
3. Balancing of exports and i'm

foreign nations ito specific fields
which we know can be effective"
4. Holding down the increase In
bank credit.
5. Reducing the percentage the
Government guarantees on housing
loans.
70. Limiting consumer credit.
IA a campaign to discourage
spending and encourage saving
particularly cutting the purchase OF
scarce foods ''by those who can af-
ford 10 waste less and eat less"
8. Carrying out with discretion
the congressional obligation to sup
port farm prices.
- Must Spend Less.
ASSERTING that III we don't want
high prices, we, andour Government
win have to spend less" Senator
Taft declared:
1--WE can't build new houses for
|svery one whoswants them .Me cdH't
export many billions more than we
import. We can't spend too much
borrowed money. If we don't want
to sacrifice any Of these pleasant,
and politically advantageous, activ-
tiles then we had better face the
fact that we will have high prices.
The Ohio Senator said President
Truman had asked unlimited
authority" to impose price-wage and
rationing controls. adding that the
administrations reliance on return
to such controls "at least raises the
question whether it is in good faith
in It's denunciation of high prices. :"
"rhe remedy for present condi-
tions in America does not lie in price
control, Senator Taft declared. 1T
lies in saving and restraint. 1t lies
in sound Government fiscal policy.
1t lies in more production and every
incentive to more production.
In suggesting his eight-point pro-
gram, Senator Taft apparently COM
piled indirectly with the demands
of Senators Flanders, Republican, Of
Vermont; Baldwin, Republican, of
Connecticut and other party COL
leagues that COP leaders draft
positive" proposals instead of mere
~ criticizing the President.
