Atlantic Pact conference decision
to build a Western army of nearly
100000 men was a peace plan
to save Europe from communism"
Acheson made the comment before
taking off in President Truman's

releasing employees in affected &C,
tivities will continue through De-
cember and well in January.
Sugar Refining Season Ends Early
Early completing of beet harvest
enabled sugar refining plants to
end their seasonal runs at an ear
lier than normal date. Two or three
have already released seasonal
crews, the others will reach the
same stage this month. Farm hir-
ing decreased almost vertically dur
ing November and at the same
lay-offs of farm hands added ma
terially to the available labor force
in all agricultural areas of the
state.
Marked Changes from October
Statistically, there we're more
new applications for work in No
vember than in October, but fewer
than in November of 1949. The
same movement is noted in the
total count of applicants seeking
work at the end of the month.
Placement of applicants in jobs in
November was far behind the
placements in October, but was
more than a thousand ahead of
November 1949 placements.
By type of industry these hires
went $40 to farm work, ITO to con-
tract construction, $40 to wholesale
and retail trade, 375 to manufac-
turing, 21O to service industries,
and smaller numbers to other
of activity.
Much Construction Continues
Construction employment is
to continue through the

tons by federal authorities in the
state, to a limited extent on two
government dams, on several pro-
iuction plans which will lead to
sizeable and steady payrolls when
completed, and on a larger than

the shrinking Hungnam beachhead
in northeast Korea increased the
fury of their attacks and brought
up artillery for the first time We'd
nesday to blast U. S. Third division
troops holding the waterfront area.
But the Red attacks melted against
outpost defenses and the massed
fire of land and navy guns pro-
tecting the tiny beachhead with a
continuously roaring barrage of
fire and steel.
Fearful of the barrage, the Reds
fired only four rounds from their
big guns into the beachhead in the
hours of darkness to avoid giving
away their positions. Mortar fire
against outpost positions also was
held down.
"There is nc place to stand in
side the beachhead today where the
conclusion of heavy artillery fire
is not felt" United Press Core

Washington. Dec. 2O.-(UP)-
The government put all business
men on their honor today not to
raise prices and to cancel some
increases made since the Korean
war began.
The economic sterilization agen-
cy "ESA" announced a set of
pricing standards, generally geared
to the pre-Korean profits and Dec.
l prices, that will serve as a volun-
tary price ceilings for big and lit
tie business. They cover practically
everything from the corner grocery
store to the giant steel industry.
Wages are next, an ESA spokes-
said. A corresponding plan for
voluntary sterilization of every
ones pay check is in preparation
and will be disclosed in the very
near future.
Two senate Republicans-John
w. Bricker, Ohio, and Homer E.
Capeheart, Ind, said the admins
tration was ignoring the intent of
congress by imposing price con-
trolls without simultaneous wage
controls"

 Fl was doubt easier for King Leopold to yield to the harsh logic of his situation when he reflected that the monarchy itself not issue new and young king starting with blank record and the natural loyal y of his people in his favor has every chance to become as he should be- the friend of all sections and the part san of none But these bitter years have made it abun dantly clear that such position above the conflict is out of King Leopods reach not for today or tomorrow, but for life.''

 As the service neared its close, the congregation left their seats and in long line filed slowly past the open casket.
 There were white-haired wo- men, their eyes red from weeping and their handkerchiefs were held to their faces. There were young men and young women, and mid dle-aged men and women.
 Austin Lathrop was known gen. orally as the wealthiest man in all Alaska. He had many interests. And there were men of wealth who paid tribute to him yester- day. But there were more men who were not wealthy.
 Along with the banker from Anchorage was barber from Gray's Harbor. There was a doc tor from Portland and janitor from Fairbanks. There was steamship company execu tive from Seattle and a master me chanic from Suntrana.
 One young men said: "He did as much for me as if he had been my father" An older man said: "There will never be another one like Cap."
 Still fresh in the mind of all were the words they had heard spoken during the service:

 Among these questions are whether the Allied counter -offen- sive, when it is finally unlimber- ed, should stop at the 38th paral- Tel or continue on until all Korea is united under a non- communist regime.
 The future status of FormoSa and a Japanese peace treaty are other questions uppermost. Six U. s. jet planes, the first as- signed to help defend Formosa, arrived at airfields on that Ma tionalist Chinese island.
 Britain announced she is ready to launch a $9,520,OO0,0OO three year defense program with U. S.i help. British defense spending would be 43 per cent greater than before the Korean outbreak.
 Allied planes were on a sharp lookout for troop trains from North Korea. The Reds were try ing to move some troop trains out of Chongjin in North Korea un- der smoke screens.
 Air sweeps knocked out 12 en- emy locomotives and damaged seven and damaged docks and rail yards at the south coast ports of Mokpo, Yosu and Sunchon, stag ing points for communist supplies and troops moving to the front.

 The 4715-ton Pershing tanks are heavier than anything the en- emy has yet used in Korea and carry 90 millimeter rifles. If used in the marshy terrain west of Pu- san they might be at disadvan- tage with the Soviet-made North Korean 34-ton tanks in maneuver- ing, but they could out-gun them.
 Allied air forces flew a near record 400 sorties, most of them concentrated in the Chinju area west of Pusan. A column of com munists was caught in defile by fighter planes and riddled with rockets and machine guns. Five more tanks were hit.
 British naval gunfire smashed at Docks. warehouses and rail sid ings at the south coast port of Mokpo through which the com munists have been trying to move men and supplies.
 B-29's unloaded 400 tons of bombs in a third major strike at North Korean chemical plants. This time they hit the Begun chemical plant at. Hungnam, ll8 miles north of the 38th parallel and but three miles from the ex- plosive factory reported almost to- tally destroyed in strikes on Sun day and Tuesday.
 The foreign ministers and their deputies from 13 West European n tions met at Strasbourg, France, to set the stage for the second session of the European Consultative assembly, the unof- ficial European parliament. Their main task was to prepare an agenda, which may include dis cussion of the Schuman plan to pool coal and steel.
 U. s. state department officials said they expect the executive board of UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific and Gull tural Organization to hold an emergency session to Paris soon and go on record against com muniSt aggression in Korea.
