 A U. N official formally notified the new Jewish state that 1t must assume full responsibility" for the slayings. Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok advised the U. N that Israel is adopting the most vig- orius and energetic measures to bring the assassins to justice. and eradicate evil' in Palestine.
 The Isreal army slapped cur- few on Jerusalem's 90,000 Jews. Roadblocks were thrown up throughout the Jewish section of the Holy City and sound trucks admonished the people to stay at home.
 Military policemen were stationed outside the American consulate and others were ordered to accom- pany any U. N. car in the city. The curfew was the first ordered by the Jewish state since Israel proclaimed herself a nation last May.
 In Paris, U. N Secretary Gener- al Trygve Lie put the Palestine question before the full member ship.

 Already, he atold reporter, AL aska's albacore catch, first in it's history, exceeds 450,000 pounds. It's selling at from $520 to $550 a ton. Albacore is choice species of tuna.
 The tuna are being caught south of Ketchikan, in waters off South east Alaska and British Colurabia. Canadian fishermen, too, are haul ing them in, Anderson said.
 In Seattle, Anderson said, he heard the argument among fisher men that American postwar atomic bomb experiments in the Marshall Islands area might have chased the tuna into northern waters and also might have contributed to the scar

By ERNEST B. VACCARO

by ENNEO D. VAOChItO
 DEXTER, Iowa, Sept. 18-tR- President Truman declared today that a Republican election victory would place the American farmer in great danger" of "man-made disaster" from "gluttons of privi- lege"
 Tn a slashing give em hell' attack on his opposition, the gray haired chief executive said that Wall Street reactionaries' are doing everything to elect Re- publican administration.
 The Republicans, he continued. have already stuck pitchfork in the farmers back and are now ready ito let the bottom drop out of farm prices"
 Speaking to a crowd gathered for the National Flowing Contest, the President asked:
 Are you going to let another Republican blight wipe out your prosperity?'
 Biting Language
 Mir Truman's biting language on the domestic farm issue contrasted sharply with solemn assurance that this government is doing everything possible to avoid war.
 He told his farm audience he knew that the war talk which is so prevalent today is causing all of you deep concern"
 Tt is plain enough" he con- ued gravely, that we ere facing a disturbing international situa- tion.'
 Trying For Peace
 T should like every American to realize that this country is making every possible effort to pre- serve the peace
 He said American leaders have kept our tempers" and stood firm" and that they will continue working for peace with every in- strument at our command while building up our strength" This, he said, is being done in the know ledge that world peace and United States interests require us to be strong and vigilant.'
 "Give Elm Hell'
 His brief reference to the tense international situation, however, was mot the main point I wish to cover today" And he launched into the political speech for which he travelled here on the first leg of a 9,50o-mile stumping tour in which he has said he will fight hard and give 'em hell"
 He used the expression "glut- tons of privilege" and Republican gluttons of privilege half dozen times and accused them of talking plain hokunn."
 He told the farmers that in only two years of control of Congress, the Republicans were able to weaken your position gravely"
 If they should get both Con- gress and the Presidency" MT. Truman went on, what they have taken away from you thus far would be only an appetizer for the economic tapeworm of big busi- ness"
