Stock Prices Tumble
81 10 Sc a Share on
News From Korea
BY she A.soeio,ed Press

NEW YORK, June 26.-The
stock market cracked wide open
today in reaction to the Korean
situation.
With dizzy speed quotations
broke 81 to around So a share. It
was the markets first appraisal of
threat that war in Korea might
spread over the world.
A second wave of selling
pounded quotations down after
opening liquidation had already
weakened the price structure.
Selling orders poured into the
exchange so fast that the high
speed ticker ran behind in its
speedy report of transactions on
the trading floor.
For a short while after the first
impact of selling, the market took
hold. The pause in the slide was
short-lived however.
Initial dealings ranged from
/ 900 to $4,000 shares in the case
of Radio Corp which declined 173s
to 20.
The early selling orders repre-
sented a consolidation of orders
which piled up over the week end.
Selling was described by one stock
exchange house with international
connections as general in this
country-little or nothing from
overseas sources"
! Worst Since 1948 Drop.
The morning plunge was the
worst since November, 1948. when
prices tumbled after the surprise
election Of President Truman.
Some opening trades included:
United States Steel, off 2 at "a on
$4,000 shares; Du Pont. off 4 at
76 on $500 shares; Republic
Steel. off 25s at 1874 on 10000
shares: Santa Fe Railway, off
at 115A on 1000 shares; Standard
Oil (New Jersey. off 3A at IS on
$500 shares: American Telephone,
off 23s at 1862 on 1000 shares;
General Motors. off 3Hz at SO on
10000 shares; Chrysler. off 3 at
IT on $4,000 shares.
Aircraft issues did conspicuous
ly well. Douglas gained about 2
points at one time and Boeing and
Lockheed edged up fractionally.
London Market Down.
The glaring weakness in the New
York market was foreshadowed in
the London exchange, where prices
were marked down sharply.
Commodities for future delivery
were higher all along the line,
some advancing the limit per-
mitted in a days trading.
Corporate bonds fell with stocks.
United States Government issues
held steady in over-the counter
dealings.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Russian
threats vie with American PROM
ises today as the United Nations
Security Council meets to debate
the question of Chinese Com
munist intervention in the Korean
war.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik charged
last night that the United States
was attacking China on land, on
the Sea and in the air. He threat
ened to cast the Soviet Unions
47th veto to prevent passage of
a Security Council resolution de-
manding that Red China with
draw troops from Korea. Mr..
Malik said the United States-not
the Peiping Communist govern
ment-was the aggressor.
Ernest A. Gross, American dele
gate, Immediately countered these
assertions by reading President
Truman's statement stressing
American friendship for the peo-
pie of China and stating that the
United States had no intention
OF invading that country.
Delegates today took a cautious
attitude. They are waiting for
the answer to this question: "Will
all-out Russian diplomatic sup
port encourage Peiping to con-
tinue and enlarge it's military
operations in Korea or will the
American assurances result in a
withdrawal behind the Man
churian frontier?
Despite a declaration by Ecua-
doris Antonio Quevedo that the
Security Council cannot simply
fold its arms" in the face of Chi
nese Intervention, the majority
view seemed to be that, for the
moment, a policy of watchful
waiting is the most realistic and
useful one.
1t was learned that not even
the United States will press for
an immediate vote on the resolu-
ton calling on the Chinese to
withdraw from Korea and promis-
ing to respect their frontiers.
The United States feels. in
formed sources said, that every
possible resource must be used to

Two GI Letters
Show Rapid Switch
In Korean War
BY the Associated Press

CUMBERLAND, Md, Nov. IT,
Two letters to a soldiers parents
here pointed up the rapid switch
recently in the trend of the
Korean war.
Pfc. Melvin H. Smith, 19-year-
old CT fighting with the 9th Army
in Korea, wrote in one letter that
he thought the war was just about
over and he expected to be sent
to Japan.
He said troops were even turn
ing In some of their ammunition
Then the roof fell in.
In the same mail with the
wars over" letter was another
from Pfc. Smith-saying he'd
been wounded battling his way
out of encirclement by Chinese
Communist forces. He told his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Smith,
that only % out of SO men got
through.

get China out Of the Korean war
peacefully since the alternative
might easily touch off World War
III.
Moreover. the direct threat of a
Soviet veto of Security Council
action against the Chinese Reds
makes 1t even more urgent, from
Ia practical standpoint, to try al
ternate means of influencing Pei
ping.
Although the Assembly now has
the power to take military action
against an aggressor when the
Security Council is hamstrung, no
one is apparently willing to take
the irrevocable step of sending
the problem there before every
other possibility is thoroughly ex-
plored.

about submitting his proposal
because of an alternate sugges-
ton which he had read in the
Christian Science Monitor.
The newspaper called for the
establishment of a neutral strip
administered by Asian powers
around the Yalu River border
between Manchuria and Korea.
Sir Bengal said he wanted a
chance to study and discuss the
practicability of this proposal with
his government and with other
delegations before going ahead
with his original plan.
Because Of the wary attitudes
of most of the delegates, today's
meeting is expected to pass
quickly from the explosive Korea
China problem to the relatively
unthreatening Palestine issue.

them when temperatures change.
Methods to dry socks within a
layer of clothing until a drying
tent or shelter is reached or how
loose or how tight to wear the
clothing layers or how much
clothing to leave on when sleeping
within a bag is told in a pamphlet.
The demonstrator reported that
he had worn shoepac at Is. de-
grees below zero without discom-
fort and the dry-cold clothing had
been used in temperatures down to
50 degrees below zero.

A Chinese Communist delega-
tion is now en- route here from
Peiping, but is not expected to
arrive until late next week.
Whether the final decision can
be postponed until then is prob
lematical.
One of the more important
factors is the opinion of India.
Its chief delegate, Sir Bengal
N. Rau, has been insistent that
action be postponed until the
Peiping delegation arrives.
Meanwhile. ne has been prepar-
ing resolution which would ask
the newly established U. N. peace
patrols to investigate the situa-

and outer shell are provided in
lieu Of mittens.
Other Equipment Worn.
Equipment such as the steel
helmet, web belt. pack, canteen,
first-aid packet and intrenching
tool are worn with the winter uni
form In the same manner as with
the summer clothing.
For extremely cold weather.
and the Americans in Korea are
expected to experience some Of
that in Korea later-even heavier
parka assemblies are worn. Large
quantities Of these-which also
employ the layer principle-al-
ready have been shipped to Korea,
the Army said. However, much Of
this equipment is so bulky that
1t forbids the ready movement
needed in combat.
Unlike the civilian at home, who
has no difficulty hanging one suit
in his closet and donning another
to meet the days weather require
ments. the soldier In the field has
no clothes closet and no extra suit.
Change of Clothing Not Easy.
He normally changes from sum-
mer clothes to winter clothes once
a year and does so by getting back
to divisional supply points for a
thorough job of bathing and de-
lousing and getting approximately
the right size of clothes and shoes.
But when the fighting is brisk,
as in Korea. he cannot do that.
Instead. battalion supply officers
have to get the clothes for him
and get them forward somehow.
1t is not easily done, and some
times it is not quickly done, as
many a half-frozen soldier in
Korea. or any winter war, can
testify.
There is sufficient winter cloth
ing and equipment for all our men
in Korea. the Army reiterated to-
day.
