Churchill Calls for End

Citing u. 5. Success
Socialist PIonnine Holds
Down Notions Economic
Recovery, He Says
kx the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Winston
Churchill called on the British
Labor government today to fol-
low the lead of the United States
in removing price controls and
to toss aside Socialist planning
which he said was holding up
national economic recovery.
Making his fourth attempt to
unseet the Labor government by
parliamentary motion. the opposi-
ton leader declared that nationali-
zation of basic industries had failed
and weakened the nation in time OF
economic crisis.
Il feel fortified by what has hap
penee in the United States ne
declared, adding:
The sovereign remedy to our pres
ent ills and darkening misfortunes
is to set the people free"
Attacks Labor Program.
Mr.. Churchill said Prime Minister
Attlee's government was inviting
us to follow them into a dark and
narrowing tunnel, at the end OF
which there might be no daylight.
He added: Il do not believe in
the capacity of the state to plan
and enforce a high-grade produc-
tiyity upon it's members or subjects. y
State planning and control could
never create system which could
compete with free enterprise. per-
sonal initiative and competitive
selection, Mr.. Churchill declared in
an attack on the Labor govern
ment's legislative program.
"All these are blotted out by over
riding state control" Britain's war
time prime minister said. 1T is
this vital creative impulse that ]
greatly fear that the doctrines and
failures of the Socialist government
have destroyed or are rapidly de-
stroying in our national life
Nothing that they can plan and
order and rush about enforcing will
take its place. They have broken
the handspring and until we get a
new one, the watch will not 60.
The reason that we are not able
to earn our living and make our
way IN the world is because we are
not allowed to do so.
THE whole enterprise. initiative

nation is being unnecessarily par
alyzed by restrictions which are i'm

mistaken political philosophy and a
largely obsolete mode OF thought
Recalls U. S. Price Action.
Recalling that the United States
"in the summer of 1916 took the
ma ior step of making clean sweep

i'll said:
The cost of living bounded up
and was now so per cent up ~ 1899.
But what was the corrective to
to price rises?" he asked. 1T was
production, and American produc-
ton is now 80 per cent above 1889.

Churchill added, but the strong

Soviet AsksU n.
Order Troops
ToLeave Korea
Jan. | DeodIine Urged
In Counterproposol
To American Plan
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 28.-
Russia called on the United Ma
tions today to order withdrawal
of all Russian and American
troops from Korea by next jan
uary /.
The Soviet demand was laid before
the General Assembly's Situation
Political Committee after the United
States had urged approval of an
American proposal for elections in
the two zones of Korea by next
March 81 under U.N. supervision.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko and American
Delegate John Foster Dulles clashed
sharply in the opening round of
the Korean debate. Mr.. Gromyko
accused the United States of delay
ing negotiations for Korean inde-
pendence while Mr.. Dulles blamed
Russia.
Temporary Commission Asked.
The American proposal provides
for U. N. temporary commits
sion on Korea with it's membership
left to the U. N. to decide. This
group would observe the elections,
be available for consultation during
the period of setting up a govern
ment and make recommendations
to the U. N. regarding further steps
to be taken by the peace agency.
Russia proposed in September,
after the United States tossed the
case to the Assembly, that all occu-
patton troops be withdrawn by
January l. Secretary of State Mar
shall acted on failure to break a
deadlock with the Soviet Union in
direct negotiations. He was under
stood to feel that withdrawal OF
troops under tine Russian timetable
would create vacuum in Korea
and deprive the people OF an OPP
portunity for free elections and their
own choice of government.
Russia opposed inclusion of the
Korean question on the Assembly
agenda and has continued to main
tain that the issue is one to be
settled between the United States
and Russia and not by the inter-
national agency.
U. S., Russia Withhold Programs.
On the Palestine question, indica-
tions were that subcommittee
attempting to work out details OF
the partition plan would not be
entangled in lengthy discussions on
possible boundaries for the pro-
posed independent Jewish and Arab
countries.
The United States and Russia
were withholding their programs for
implementation of the partition
proposal. The Soviet Union was
reported ready to ask the U. NJ to
put the Holy Land under the Veto
conscious Security Council for an
interim period to precede complete
independence for the two new ma
tions.
Delegates still were mulling over
yesterdays action in the Political
Committee, where Russia backed
down on her charges of "warmonger-
ing" in the United States, Greece
and Turkey. The American delega-
ton then joined in worldwide
condemnation of war propaganda.

Many u. 5. Troops
Declared Casualties
In Trieste incidents
Bennett, Bock From
Tour, Reports 63 Coses
Of Red Aggression
BY the Associofad Press

Representative Bennett, Re-
publican, of Missouri declared
today that many" American
soldiers have been killed or
wounded by Communists in the
Trieste area behind a brass
curtain of American military
censorship"
The Missourian recently returned
from a siX-week tour of Europe and
the Near East, said there have been
"63 incidents of armed aggression
by the Communists" against United
States forces since they moved into
the former Italian territory, border
ing on Yugoslavia. Trieste now is a
free state
These acts have resulted in the
death or wounding of many Ameri-
can soldiers Mr. Bennet added in
a statement issued before he left
for his home in Springfield. Mo- Il
have the names and identifications
of the incidents as furnished me by
our military intelligence.
Army Refuses Comment.
I'm Europe they call it a cold
war; 1t is war and how soon, or
if, it will engulf the whole world,
no men outside of the Kremlin can
say.
The brass curtain of American
military censorship has done a re-
markable job in keeping from the
American people the seriousness of
the situation at Trieste"
The Army refused comment on
Mr.. Benefits statement.
There have been no previous re-
ports of any American casualties
resulting from the long-standing
tension between the predominantly
Italian population of Trieste and
the Yugoslavs.
! When the free state came into
being last September 16 under terms
of the italian peace treaty, the
British military commander credited
American forces with having pre-
vented an incident which might
have led to bloodshed'
Urges Strong Air Force.
/ The American troops refused to
allow a force of Yugoslav soldiers
to cross the border into the area
assigned to Anglo-American occu-
patton. The Yugoslavs occupy the
southern sector. Each of the oc-
cupying nations was asked to as
sign 5000 troops to serve until q
yet-to-be designated governor re-
ports no further need for them.
! Mr.. Benefits trip abroad was
made as head of House Commerce
Subcommittee studying civil avia-
ton. He said his observations con-
vinced him that the United States
should maintain the strongest All
Force and Navy in the world land
with the most atom bombs"
He said Russia is producing "45.-
900 tanks a month and has jet planes
in the skies over Europe"
Would Limit Aid.
The Missourian, said there is
hunger and want in Europe and
this country must provide help. But
in doing so, he added, it must not
over-extend itself.
There are four things this Ma
ton can do" Mr.. Bennett said:
Surrender as we did with appease-
ment of Stain at Potsdam. Yalta
and all the rest; fight, which is not
likely unless we are attacked; with
draw altogether and chalk up 300,-
900 soldiers lives and other sacri-
fees of two great wars as a mistake,
or we can extend all aid short of
war as we are doing
But in granting that help, Mr
Bennett said, the United States
must make sure it receives a dol
lars worth of cooperation and eco
nomic rehabilitation for every dol
lar spent and there must be clearly
defined limits to the aid.
