 Its obviously impossible to put planes and missiles through tricks in an enormous hangar where Arctic conditions must be manufactured We are learning many facts in tests possible only in Alaska" he said.
 Although reticent on specific results and discoveries in early tests with guided missiles here, which already include launching Americanized buzz bombs, or Wis, he declared the air force had advanced beyond the critical point" in producing "all-weather" warplanes capable of taking off from blazing desert sands and landing in frigid Arctic tundra without impairment of efficiency or mechanical operation.
 Kepner declined to admit the era of push button warfare" was just around the corner, but he agreed with many military theo- riStS that in any such futuristic battle of the hemispheres Alaska would be this continents most strategic spot.
 Il wouldn't be surprised to hear the Russians are performing the same type of cold weather tesss in Siberia that we are here. We must give full credit to the initiative and inventiveness of any nation"

SHANGHAI, (P) - Anne

SHANGHAI, (FD - American comic books are flooding Shang- hai. Few bookstores are without them. Their popularity, with chill dren and adults alike, have foster ed the rapid growth of the side walk vendor. II is generally un- derS,ood that the comics are paid for abroad by means that have been outlawed today but which are likely to continue because their delivery is made through the post office.

Jerusalem Problem
Approaches Decisive
Stage in Assembly
, BY the Asseeioisd Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Dec. 3.-The
United Nations neared the decisive
stage today on the problem of
Jerusalem's future. The Holy City
now is occupied by Hashemite
Jordan and Israel-both of them
opposed to international rule and
determined to hold their respec-
tive parts of it.
But before taking up the issue
of Jerusalem, the General Assem-
bly's Special Political Committee
is scheduled to review the Dutch
Indonesian question. This may
delay its start on the Jerusalem
question.
The special committee last
night approved a $54 100000 relief
works project program for nearly
l 100000 Palestine war refugees.
Final adoption by the Assembly
was assured by the lopsided vote
of 48-0 in committee.
A 17-nation subcommittee put
final touches to its draft Of an
Australian Russian-E Salvador
ian-Lebanese resolution to inter-
nationalize Jerusalem and its holy
places under a u. N. trusteeship.
It was adopted. 9 to 6, with two
abstentions. to go to the Special
Political Committee for further
study.
Israel Would Yield Shrines.
Israel, with the hope Of some
big power support. promises q Bit
ter fight against international
rule for Jerusalem, but offers to
yield to U. N. supervision Of the
holy shrines of the Christian,
Jewish and Moslem religions. In
the Israeli area Of Jerusalem.
Several nation-Sweden, the
Netherlands and Uruguay par
ticularly-are reported leading q
fight for such an international
regime to supervise only the holy
places.
Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett has argued that the U. N.
high commissioner envisaged in
the Australian internationaliza-
ton plan would be ignored by a
hostile Jerusalem population. He
said the U. N. also would have
serious financial problem in
running the city, now operated on
taxes collected by the nations
that control the city.
Arab states insist that Jeru-
salem is an Arab city and Israel
ought not to be in 1t at all.
The Latin American nations
yesterday split on the resolution
to internationalize the city. In
the subcommittee Cuba. Mexico
and Uruguay voted against the
plan. Ell Salvador and Peru voted
for it, along with Iraq. Lebanon,
the Soviet Union and the Ukraine.
| There were hints that the So
Wet bloc may precipitate q debate
on military provisions Of the agree
ment reached at The Hague be-
tween the Dutch and Indonesians
to set up a United States Of 1ndo-
nesia December 81.
The agreement still must be
ratified by Parliaments on both
sides to end more than 800 years
LOT Dutch colonial rule over the
East Indies.

Separate Air Guard
Organization Forecast
As Inquiry Is Ordered
By John A. Giles

Creation Of a separate organiza-
ton to supervise Air National
Guard units was seen as a strong
possibility today as a result of q
Joint investigation of the Guare
Bureau by the Army and Al,
Force.
Secretaries Gray of the Army
and Symington of the Air Force
last night ordered an inquiry into
the long -smoldering feuds with
In the bureau.
The order specifically mentioned
a quarrel between Maj. Gen. Ken
meth F. Cramer, the bureau chief,
and Maj. Gen. George G. Finch.
chief of the bureaus air division
It ordered the inspectors general
Of the two services to determine
the circumstances" leading to the
custer OF Gen. Finch by Gen
Cramer "and the subsequent sus-
pension Of that action by Gen
Cramer."
Following months Of feuding
over their respective powers, Gen.
Cramer issued orders reliving Gen.
Finch Of his duties last Septem-
ber. Gen. Finch Immediately
challenged Gen. Cramer's right to
fire him. Intervention by Mr..
Gray and MIR. Symington brought
| about a temporary truce.
But the dispute still presented
the Pentagon chiefs with an en-
barrassing impasse and a funda-
mental issue of ground versus air
jurisdiction over the air units.
And Gen. Cramer is said to have
refused to rescind his original
order.
The formal investigation by
Maj. Gen. Louis A. Craig and
1t. Gen. Howard A. Craig, Army
and Air Force inspectors general.
respectively. is designed ito de-
termine the facts surrounding var
ious unresolved problems in the
operation of the National Guard
Bureau" the Defense Department
said.
High defense officials said today
that beyond the question of per-
sonal animosity between the two
Guard generals lay fundamen-
tai question of control of the air
units: Shall the Federal Govern
ment. through the Air Force. or
the States. through their ranking
Guard chiefs Qargely ground gen.
erals) exercise dominance over the
Air Guard?
The issue reached a head, under
a different guise, last year when
the late Defense Secretary For
restal approved plan to bring
the air units under Federal con-
troll. Mr.. Forrestal announced
that President Truman approved
the plan but it never went any
further and it is not expected that
Defense Secretary johnson will
advance any such politically ex-
tplosive issue now.
Rather. officials said, it ap-
peared likely that the bureau it.
self might be cut apart into all
and ground organizations, the ali
portion going to the Air Force
Presently Gen. Cramer, a ground
officer. heads the bureau with
deputies for air and ground.

Bond Prices Narrow;
Only Few Change as
Much as Point
By H. G. Johnson

A3&octdfed pFeSS MARKER WIN"
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The
bond market came up with a few
changes of a point or so in both
directions today, but the average
movement, where any occurred at
all, was so small that all but one
of the major domestic groups
ended unchanged in the averages.
The loV-yield group dipped i
of a point to Ills despite the
fact that it was in this group that
the nearest thing to a feature
developed-sustained demand OF
investors for bonds of high qaulity.
The average run-of-the-mill
trading issue had little in the way
of trend, some changing hands
repeatedly while others jumped
from minus to the plus side Of
the market and then back again
with extreme agility. This is
what is usually termed a trading
market.
Some Prime Issues Up.
Investment bonds finding takers
at higher levels included Santa Fe
As at 127k2, Chicago g. Western
Indiana 4As at LOG. Consolidated
Edison 25ss at par, Detroit Edison
3las at 1864. Laclede Gas 4l2s
at 1872 and Pacific Gas 27ss at
1925.
Elsewhere plus marks were be-
hind closing quotations for Penn
sylvania Central Airlines 3l2s,
Chicago g. Eastern Illinois 3As,
Central of New Jersey 34s. Big
Four 4l2s, Florida East Coast SIS,
Illinois Central 424s and Illinois
Central, st. Louis and New Or
leans 41as and SIS.
Behind minus signs but not for
much of a loss were bonds of the
Baltimore & Ohio. st. Paul. Rio
Grand Western. Michigan Gen.
trail, Pennsylvania. st. Louis-San
Francisco and Third Avenue Rail-
way. Turnover in the Missouri
Pacific group was light and
changes negligible.
There was no business done in
United States Government issues
and most foreign dollar bonds
stayed where they were on Friday.
Sales of $1,260.o00 compared
with $1,310,000 last Saturday.
Decisive Trend Lacking.
Too many interruptions pre-
vented the corporate bond mar
ket from hitting its stride this
week and finding a decisive trend.
Trading was an off-again, on
again proposition because of
Tuesdays election day holiday
and Fridays Armistice Day mar
ket respite.
Since many Of the railroads
were operating in the red because
of freight losses resulting from
the steel and coal strike and
many others were approaching a
deficit stage, the encouraging
labor news might have resulted in
brisk advance in rail issues.
Obligations of materials short
industrial concerns might also
have benefited.
Such was not the case. While
corporate bonds did advance dur
ing the four session week, the
gains virtually were microscopic.
