the satisfaction they give their su-
perlorS in the party hierarchy.
Warns of Deadly Trap.
This is all set forth before our
eyes as plainly as Hitler told us of
his plans in his book Mein Kampf
hope the Western Nations, and
particularly our own country and
the United States, will not fall into
the same deadly trap twice over.
"Of one thing I am quite sure.
that il the United States were to
consent in reliance upon any paper
agreement to destroy the stocks of
atomic bombs which they have &C
cumulated they would be guilty of
numbering human freedom and
committing suicide themselves"
Mr.. Churchill listed II positive
steps he said Russia must take If
she desires to see atomic energy
internationalized.
Let them release their grip upon
the satellite states of Europe.
Let them retire to their own
country
Let them liberate by their de-
parture the II ancient capitals OF
Eastern Europe which they now
hold in their claws.
Let them go back to the Curzorl
line as was agreed upon in the DAYS
when We were fighting as comrades
together (the 'Curzon line was the
boundary between Russia and Po-
land proposed by Britain after
World War but not then accepted)
Demands Freeing Slaves"
Let them set free the 100000 OF
more OF German and japanese priS-
oners they now hold as slaves.
! Let them cease to oppress. tor
ment and exploit the immense parts
OF Germany and Austria which are
now in their hands.
The lifting of the blockade al
Berlin would be merely the stopping
of blackmai . -
Let them cease to distract Ma
lava and Indonesia.
Let them liberate the Commu-
nist-heid portion of Korea.
| Let them cease to foment the
hideous civil war in China.
Above all let them throw open
their vast regions on equal terms
to the ordinary travel and traffic OF
mankind. Let them give others the
chance to breathe freely and let
them breathe freely themselves
The 73-year-old Conservative
leader said Britain's present labor
government now calls upon us in
quavering tones to take all kinds OF
serious half measures of prepara-
ton as precaution.'
However, he added, II do not re-
proach the British Socialist govern
ment with creating the abyss which
now yaWns across Europe and the
world.
Fears "HideouS Struggle"
"ThiS was inevitable once the
Russian Communist leaders gave
full rein to their instincts of i'm
perialism and expansion
! Mr.. Churchill pledged full con-
servative support to Britain's cur
rent rearmament program but COM
mented, Il must bluntly say that
have no confidence in the military
arrangements and preparations of
the Socialist government or in the
men who now come forward to lead
national government"
He said the Berlin situation may
at any time precipitate a hideous
world struggle"
Had been responsible I would
not have allowed it to develop in
this way" he said.
1T would have been better to
meet, in good time, the blockade of
Berlin by counter measures against
Russian shipping and imports of all
kinds which might be useful for war
purposes. ="

Red Battle 10 Control
Javanese Oil Center
Enters Critical Stage
BY the Associated Press

BATVIA, Oct. The Dutch
Army said today the see-saw battle
between Indonesian forces and
Communist rebels for the vital
Tjepoe oil center has caused an "ex-
tremely critical" situation.
About 1000 casualties have been
reported, It said. and 5000 refugees
are streaming from the area.
Dutch reports said Tiepoe changed
hands at least three times since the
fight began and now is held by Com
munist rebels. These reports said
murder, looting and arson have
occurred on a large scale" The
Indonesian Republican Army con-
tended, however. that government
troops hold the city. The 1ndonesian
news agency Antara said Dutch
reports exaggerated the situation.
Most of the refugees are stream
ing toward the town of Bodjonegoro,
about II miles east of Tjepoe. This
town now is threatened by Com
munist forces closing in from two
directions. and is running low on
food. the Dutch reported.
The Dutch Army report said the
Republican commander in East Java
has requested Indonesian authori-
ties to postpone the advance on
Communist held Purwodadi and
concentrate on Blora, to the west,
where heavy fires are raging.
Latest reports say Communist
Leader Musso, who led the initial
revolt last week, has fled with his
followers to Kandangan, in the
Wills Mountains, southeast of Ma
dioen
THE HAGUE, Oct. 9 Ry.-A

ference will be held today to thresh

$1,S00,00o,0O0 Peak

New construction completed In
September hit an all-time high OF
81 800 900, 900, the Bureau of Labo,
Statistics announced today.
Construction started during the
month totaled 1891 600, 900, which
was ~ per cent above that for
September. 1947.
For the first nine months of 1e48
expenditures for new construction
amounted to $4,000, 600 900, as COM
pared with $9,700,000,o 900 for the
same 1947 period.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Depart-
ment announced that business in
ventories reached a record high of
S52 .667 900, 900 at the end of August
after rising s9o7 900 900 during the
month.
Pre-Christmas Stocks Gain.
A $500.000, 900 accumulation of
stocks OF goods in the hands of re-
tailers and a 5000 0OO. 900 accumula- :
ton by manufacturers in August
were said to be chiefly due to the
usual ouildup of inventories before
Christmas.
The August increase in retail in
ventories was concentrated in build.
ing materials. clothing and general
merchandise groups.
Total employment dropped in sep-
tember for the second consecutive
month, the Census Bureau said
sliding of by $4,000 to a total of
oo,312,0o0. But this was found to
be due almost entirely by teen-apers
leaving summer jobs to get back to
school.
The number of jobholders STAYED
above $4,000 900, something that has
never happened before in September
when school boys and girls cause the
ngures TO drop from August.
Farm Employment Rises.
Farm employment, reversing the
course OF the previous two months
went up in September. Nonfarmine
employment skidded down after
reaching successive record highs in
each OF the previous three months.
Personal incomes rose sharply In
August, the Commerce Department
reported, chiefly due to pay increases
for factory workers and Government
employees, plus an increase in the
number Of persons employed in
farming and trade.
The August personal income was
at the rate of s215, 900 900 900 a year,
which was $4,000 900 900 jump over

he admitted present world condi-
tions are of grave concern to U.S."
The crowd Of 4.500 applauded only
when he concluded with the decla
ration that I'D rather have peace
in the world than be President,
when he dealt with domestic issues
and gave the Elghtieth Congress the
usual going over. Mr.. Truman found
himself in the middle of a regular
town meeting, with members of his
audience adding their own comment
to his remarks, and mixing applause
and laughter with "boos" when he
mentioned former President Hoover
and Senator Taft, Republican, oi
Ohio.
14th Speech of Day.
The Buffalo speech was the four.
teenth the President delivered in 9
day-long tour across traditionally
Republican Upstate New York. De.
spite a cold drizzle, which prevailed
throughout, Mr.. Truman had gooo
trainside crowds. In the afternoon
when he went into Auburn, home
town of Representative Taber, chair.
man of the House Appropriations
Committee, whom he frequently has
criticised, Mr.. Truman drew a crowo
estimated at 1000.
Urging the election Of Francis p
Souhon, the Democratic candidate
for the seat, Mr.. Taber has held &c
years, the President declared, Il am
sorry to say that your Congressman
from this district has used butcher
knife and saber and a meat-ax on
the appropriations that have been
in the public interest" Mr.. Taber
was at home yesterday.
The President also took a few pot
shots at Gov. Dewey during the day
finally telling a Batavia gathering
that every one knowns where he
himself stands on any question, but
"see if you can find where the other
fellow stands; I'll bet he won't
answer any question you put to him
about the issues in this campaign"
Throughout the day the President
hammered away on his favorite
topics-prices, housing. labor ano
education principally, with some Of
the other items on which Congress
had failed to meet his legislative
wishes, also tossed in.

whether the Western powers would
be receptive to such proposal. They
have stressed repeatedly they would
not negotiate with Russia under

Mr.. Bramuglia's optimism over his
talks.
Mr.. Bramuglia was expected to
see Dmitri T. Manuilsky, foreign
minister of the Soviet Ukraine. to-
day and continue his private talks
over the week end.
The little six" was understood
to have swung over to the media
ton plan after agreeing it would
be fruitleSS to offer a demand that
Russia end the blockade in view
of the Soviet veto power in the
Council there appeared to be little
doubt Mr.. Vishinsky would kill such
a move
United States Delegate Warren R.
Austin, as october president of the
Council. will call the next meeting
on Berlin in consultation with Mr..
Bramuglia, the acting president, but
it was assumed they would accede
to the wishes Of the majority for
a delay.
Long Talk With Vishinsky.
Mr.. Bramuglia also conferred with
the delegates of the three Western
powers who have accused Russia be-
fore the Security Council of threat
ening world peace by her actions in
Berlin.
There is as yet no solid informa-
ton on the progress of Mr.. Bra
muglia'S attempts to mediate the
dispute. But the fact that he is
continuing his efforts is taken as a
hopeful sign.
A French official said the fact
that Mr.. Bramuglia's conference
with Mr.. Vishinsky lasted some time
was a favorable omen.
! The Argentine statesman is be-
lieved to favor some face-saving
formula whereby the Berlin block
ade will be lifted and the Big
Four Foreign Ministers Council
convened to take up the Berlin and
German questions.
Observers put more faith in Ar.
Bramuglia's efforts than they might
otherwise because of his nationality
These observers believe that if the
Russians are to accept some formula
for settlement they would prefer it
to come from Argentina so as to
encourage and develop a leader in
Latin American circles to rival the
United States.
Disarmament Plan Attached.
Britain branded Russian disarma-
ment proposals as fraud upon the
world" today and said she would
not agree to them until atomic
energy is controlled with Russia in
/ accord.
| Britain's Sir Hartley Shawcross
told the U. N. Political Committee
his country could not agree to. the
Soviet proposals for immediate one
third reduction of armaments and
armed forces, until agreement can
be reached on the control of atomic
energy and of weapons of mass
destruction"
Sir Hartley agreed, however, to
continue debate on the Russian
proposal.
He accused Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky of
holding out IAN olive branch in a
manner so aggressive as to be calcu-
lated to discourage others to grasp
it."
Meantime Syria's Faris Ell Khouri
told the committee the Russian
proposed one-third cut should not
apply equally to all nations. Some
should reduce their armed forces by
one half, others not at all he said.
He did not elaborate.
Meanwhile. Argentina and Bolivia
are leading a quiet, six-nation move
to relax the United Nations boycott
of Franco Spain, it was learned
authoritatively today.
However, both pro-Franco and
Anti-Franco delegates from Latin
America said there is at present no
proposal to seek Spain's admission
to the U. N.
