Australian Girls Here
Amazed at Charges
Against u. ). Army

-Four Australian girls now In
Washington said today that charges
that the United States Army broke
an agreement to repatriate them
from Army posts in the Pacific
where they worked last year were
much ado about nothing"
The accusation against the Army
was made today by the Australian
immigration Minister, Arthur A.
Calwell, in the Australian Parlia-
ment, the Associated Press reported.
He said Australia will continue to
insist that American authorities re-
turn the girls, all of whom are in
various places in the United States
now.
Employed at Pakistan Embassy.
The four girls, now employed in
secretarial positions at the Pakistan
Embassy here, said they had heard
about the charges before but
couldn't understand what they were
all about. They were among many
Australian girls who left at differ
ent times in 1916 and 1947 to work
with the United States Army in
Pacific areas.
They are Miss Claire Twohill; %,
of Brisbane, now living at 1743 P
street NV; Miss Patricia j. Brown,
81. of Sydney, now living at 1901 P
street NV; Miss Elizabeth j. Pen
der. Is, of Sydney, now at $500 Of
futt road, Chevy Chase, and Miss
Irene ]. Beers. 27, of Perth, now liv-
ing at IS Victor street NE.
Mr. Calwell spoke specifically of
IA who left Manila without pass
ports. He said the IA once returned
to Australia but later were allowed
to go again on condition they would
be repatriated within six months.
He added everything probably would
have been all right had not certain
American Army officers persuaded
the girls, or allowed them, to sign
agreements waving the repatrla-
ton arrangement.
Passports Good Until 1851.
Mr.. CalWell told Parliament there
were no documents fully setting out
the agreement but there was ample
evidence of an agreement and the
obligations it imposed
The four girls said their pass
ports were in order. good until
1851. and issued to them by the
Australian Legation in Manila.
Il would like to know why he
wants us home" Miss Brown said.
I'VE are all strictly loyal to Aus
tralia. We got this opportunity to
travel and took it. All of us wish
to return home eventually"
Miss Beers interrupted:
Il don't. 1 wish to take out first
papers and become an American
citizen. But most of the girls do
want to return home

we progress toward a solution of
difficulties if one party refuses to
join in discussion "
Mr.. Vishinsky sat through the
first part of Cadogan's speech with
his translation earphones off, taking
notes rapidly. His face was grim
mer than it was at the morning
session.
Mr.. Parodi told the Council that
the Soviet government alone bears
direct responsibility for the danger
GUS situation created in Berlin"
He spoke of the recent Western
negotiations with Prime Minister
Stain and Foreign Minister Molo-
tov.
I'VE had gone to Moscow to obtain
the raising of the blockade and to
show that we were prepared subse-
quently to examine all the problems
of Berlin in spirit of friendly CO.
operation" he said. I'VE found our
selves back in Berlin with the block
ade maintained and strengthened

but in our very right to occupy and
administer the city"
After Mr.. Parodi had finished, Mr.
Bramuglia adjourned the session.

Answer to Speech
By the Associoted Press

PARIS, Oct. 6.-White- haired
Faris el Khouri of Syria fell
asleep during today's tense
Security Council session on the
Berlin crisis.
Russia's Andrei Vishinsky
called him back to conscious
ness, saying, Il wish the dis
tinguished delegate of Syria
the best Of health, if he could
hear me. I beg his pardon for
disturbing him, but I cannot
do otherwise"
Alexander Parodi of France
nudged Mr.. Ell Khouri awake,
with some difficulty. Mr.. Vish-

Changchun Reported
Evacuated by Chinese
BY the Associated Press

PEIPING, Oct. 6.-Pro-government
reports said today that National
troops had abandoned Changchun,
capital of Manchuria, and fled
toward Mukden.
The starving garrison, reports said,
managed to get through tight Red
lines. Previously reports had said
that 200 or more day were dying
of starvation in Changchun, which
is about 400 miles south of the
Siberian border.
Orders for the withdrawal from
Changchun were said to have been
given by Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek ON his flight to North China.
At least 100000 men in Changchun
were believed here to have moved
southwark through Szepingkai, halt
way between Changchun and Muk-
den. and reached Tiehling, 40 miles
northeast of Mukden.
Nationalist headquarters here pro-
fessed to have no knowledge of the

forcing starvation on Berlin, adding
that an effort made TO de-
prive 2,5OO,OO0 men, women and
children of medicines and food and
clothing and fuel, to subject them to
cold and starvation and disease, may
seem to some as a small matter"
But to U.s." he continued, the
welfare of the people committed to
our charge is matter of serious
concern"
DR.. Jessup called the Russian offer
to feed the Berliners propaganda
plan,' and said this plan had failed
as the blockade had failed.
The German population recog-
nized it for the political bribery that
it was" he said
He accused the Russians of Great
ing organized and inspired mob
violence" Then he detailed. with
date and action, successive Russian
moves to strangle Berlin.
Vishinsky in Rage.
Mr.. Vishinsky was in q towering
rage at neWsmen when he left the
Palais de'Chaillot. This was in con-
trast to the somewhat jovial mood
he displayed when he arrived be-
fore the meeting.
He pushed reporters aside, saying:
Il am not going to explain any
thing. l am not going to say any
thing. I do not wish to listen to
anything There is not a single
correspondent who speaks in good
faith"
Then, as he continued on his way
toward his limousine, he spoke
briefly with a correspondent for
Tass, the Soviet news agency. The
Tass man followed him in another
Russian car.
Absent with Dmitri T. Manuilsky,
Foreign Minister of . the Soviet
Ukraine, who, like Mr.. Vishinsky,
told the Council yesterday that he
would not take part. The two East
ern Europeans were the only dis
senters yesterday when the Council
voted 8 to to hear full details of
the charges leveled against Russia
by the United States. Britain and
France.
Mr.. Manuilsky's seat was occupied
by VASTLY A. Tarasenko, a member
Of his staff.
Cadogan Regrets Silence.
Mr.. Vishinsky took his seat at the
table again as Mr. Bramuglia called
the Council into its afternoon ses-
sion.
Cadogan then told the Council:
1T was with great regret that my
government learned that the Soviet
delegation would take no part in the
discussion of the substance of the
question. Have they no arguments,
or is it that their minds are already
made up to refuse acquiescence in
any thing that this Council may
recommend"

Russian Press Raises
Prospect of Veto Use

MOSCOW, Oct. 6 .P).-Russians
read in Soviet newspapers today
that Andrei Y. Vishinsky may veto
any action by the Security Council
against the Soviet Union in the
Berlin dispute.
The newspapers carried a Tass
dispatch from Paris quoting the
French newspaper Figaro to the
effect it should be remembered that
Mr.. Vishinsky still has the veto re-
serve. The press made no comment,
but the fact the statement was pub

which is now more than 100 days
old.
Mr.. Vishinsky at first took copious
notes and made great flourishes
indicating he was interested. Later,
he threw down his pencil and ear
phones, whipped out French
socialist newspaper and began to
read. -.
He was taking notes, however
when Dr. Jessup, Columbia Uni
versity professor, declared at the
outset of his speech:
I'VE have not made a restricted or
qualified submission to the Security
Council"
Z. S. Ready to Take Measures.
The United States. Dr. Jessup
said, is determined ito take such
measures as may be4@necessary to
insure the safety and subsistence Of
our forces in Berlin and OF the pop
ulation committed to their charge
! by four-poWer agreement"
DR.. Jessup charged the Russians
with using all possible means to
force the Western powers from Ber-
lin. He said the United States is
willing to discuss all disputed points
on Germany in the Council of For
eign Ministers the moment the
! blockade is lifted"
Russia contends that only the
Council of Foreign Ministers, and
not the United Nations. is COM
petert to thrash out the Berlin and
| general German questions.
The United States, DR.. Jessup told
the Council, has made every effort
to reach agreement with the So
viets and remove the threat to
the peace which has been created
by the Soviet Union and which,
while it remains. is the insuperable
obstacle to free negotiations.
Threat to Peace Seen.
He emphasized repeatedly that
the blockade is threat to world
peace, saying "all the world knows
that this is true

interest in the cultivation and conservation OF
the raw materials which they use. Their
operation is based on long range plans and
to deplete or destroy without replacement
the raw materials which make their opera
ton possible, would make for a short lived
and short sighted operation, economically
unfeasible because of the heavy investment
in plant and machinery.
Much time, effort, money and education
90 into the woodland operations of the Inter-
national Paper Company, and out Of this
have grown a large part of our modern for
estry practices in which the tree is treated
as any other crop . intelligently planted,
taken care of and conserved, and intelli-
gently harvested. All of this is reflected in
economic benefits for an area, particularly
our Gulf Coast section to whose soil the pine
is as natural as the Gulf waters to our shores.
An example of the yields from planting
and conservation is a small 11A acre tract
of and near Vancleave, the Byrd Plantation.
This tract was planted by the international
Paper Co. in 1926 in slash pine. 1t has been
thinned three times for pulpwood since, with
a total of 1929 cords per acre cut out. There
remains today an estimated $3.50 cords per
acre, making a total of 46.79 cords per acre
produced in the % years, or an average of
90 cords per acre per year. This translated
into monetary values, based on today's price
of pulpwood, means that this small tract has
produced an average of $500 annually for
% years.
We join the merchants and business men
of the county in congratulations to the Mill.
We're glad you are here, and hope our off
spring will help you celebrate your Tooth

The Moss Point Mill will join with the
members of the international Paper Com
pany family throughout the United States
and Canada next week in celebrating the
5Oth anniversary of the company's opera
ton.
The celebration at the local Mill will be
marked by a two-day open house, Tuesday
and Wednesday, when the Mill will play host
to persons from throughout this area and,
in conducted tours, will show the visitors
just how kraft paper is made from pulpwood.
This section Is fortunate in having an in
dustry of the type of the Moss Point Mill.
The benefits from the operation of the Mill
are not derived from the payroll alone
which, incidentally, last year amounted to
more than three million dollars and furnish
ed employment for more than a thousand
persons. These benefits are also directly felt
throughout the area in the purchase of pulp
wood, furnishing Of employment for harvest
ing of the forest crop, in replanting, conser-
walton work and transportation. The Mill
consumes 500 cords of wood daily and last
year paid out approximately two million
dollars for pulpwood. Large and small wood
land owners, farmers and business men, the
doctor and the lawyer, all shared in the bene-
fits of these payments.
The local Mill started operations IS years
ago, and from a small mill designed to pro-
duce 40 tons of paper per day, 1t has grown
to its present proportions, producing APP
~proximately $50 tons of paper per day.
This progress has not been without its ups
and downs, but as a whole it has been steady
and healthy, and today the future for con-
tinued operations Is bright.
Industries such as the Moss Point Mill,
built on the intelligent use of a natural re-
