GoerIieh To
Appeal Ruling
Against AWBC
Asks Court To
Consider New
Evidence Discovered

Lowell Goerlich, of the law
firm of Lamb, Goerlich and
Mack, union attorneys, announc-
ed that he is appealing the rul-
ing given by the Court of APP
peals granting John Bolman and
his attorneys and accountants
the right to inspect the books of
the Automotive Workers Build
ing Corporation. If necessary he
will take it to the upre m e
Court, Mr.. Goerlich said.
Oct. Ia Meeting
The court in its ruling said
that Mr.. Bolman had made eff
forts to inspect the books by
conferring with the AWBC Sec
retary, by attending a meeting
of the corporation where she
undertook to have some action
taken in this direction but in
stead was manhandled". That is
what MIR. Bolman contended but
the members attending the meet
ing know that Bolman was in
strumental in causing a fraeas
at the meeting when he called
Walter Murphy, Administrative
Assistant to Richard Gosser, q

inspect the books was made in a
prepared statement read off by
him after the melee was over.

Communist China's intervention
in the Korean war raises the most
critical strategic questions with
which the United States has been
confronted since the end of World
War II.
Because world peace or a great
new war may hang on the answers.
American leaders are conducting
a probing operation aimed at un-
covering what the Chinese are up
to. Gen. MacArthur's cautious
forward thrusts on the Korean
front and President Truman's re-
assurances of peaceful intent to-
ward Red China are part of the
same pattern of inquiry-by-action.
The great strategic questions
probably will have to be answered
in the next three or four weeks
unless, a settlement can be nego-
tiated meantime with the Chinese.
The prospects for this kind of
clearcut end to the crisis have
grown DINNER in the last "a hours
because of the Peiping regimes
broadcast rejecting Mr.. Truman's
assurances.
The President told a news con-
ference Thursday that the United
States has no intention of invad-
ing Manchuria and every inten-
ton of protecting Red China's in
terests along the North Korean
border. The Chinese said Friday
night that they do not believe Mr..
Truman's mixture of "honeyed
words and threats"
Here are the critical queries
Evening star., 1950-11-19

a kind Of undeclared war, can the
United States afford to fight that
kind of war?
7. Since no final military deci-
sion with world Communism could
be reached by victory in Korea
or even by defeat of Red China
should the United States and
Allied force a showdown with the
center of Communist power
Russia?
This week representatives of the
Peiping regime. which the United
States does not recognize. are due
at U. N. headquarters in New
York. According to official an
nouncements in China they will
not be authorized to discuss Korea
in U. N. sessions. but only For
mosa.
However, this would not neces-
sarily prevent their talking infor-
mally about Korean settlement.
Their attitude, in fact, will be
closely watched for clues as to
whether their Communist govern
ment really would like to find a
solution for the Korean crisis or
whether it has some deeply hostile
purpose.
U. S. Purpose Clear.
AS for American purposes, au-
thorities here said this country's
major policy commitments are
clear and that these points must
be kept in mind:
First, the United States wants
peace and will take any reasona BILE
means to avoid war: second. the
purpose Of the u. N.

fight in Korea is to end the Com
munist aggression without letting
the war spread: third. America s
primary strategic interests consid-
cred on a global scale are in,
Europe, not in Asia.
Thus the. aim is to bring the
Korean crisis to a close and dis
engage American troops as quickly
as possible in order to press the
buildup of United States forces
in Europe.
Reversing the situation, it is
obviously in Russia's interest to
employ diversionary moves to
prevent top-speed organization
and equipment of Western Eu-
ropes defense forces. Some
State Department experts believe
that Moscow would like nothing
better than to get the Chinese
Communists and the u. N. forces
involved in long undeclared war
in the Korean area.
If that is the purpose of China's
intervention, authorities here are
generally agreed that it greatly
increases the risk of a general
war either through:
/. A series of events by which
Russia would be drawn into the
fighting on China's side or
y 2. A deliberate decision on the
part OF Washington and other
Western capitals that If they
must fight Communism on the
battlefield they will fight its
central forces and not it's satel-

| which top American officials con-
cede must be faced and answered
fairly soon:
/. Assuming that the numerical
ly superior Chinese armies try to
drive U. N. troops out of Korea,
should the United States commit
larger forces to that theater of
operations?
2. Should the U. N. air force in
Korea bomb key centers in Man
churia to cut off supplies to the
Red troops in Korea?
3. Should the United States and
it's allies openly brand Communist
China through the U. N. as an
aggressor in North Korea? This is
step which State Department
officials have carefully refrained
from taking so far because 1t
would close the gate to any easy
way out of the crisis.
4. Would air attacks on Man.
churia cause the Peiping regime
to declare war?
S. If the Chinese declare war
would the Russians do likewise,
thereby setting off World War III?

Six European Nations
Set 10 Pool Coal and
Steel in Schuman Plan
By the Assoeiofed Press

PARIS, Nov. 18.-Six West
European nations are set to pool
their coal and steel under a his
tory-making treaty based on the
Schuman Plan.
Delegates of France. West Ger
many, Italy. Belgium, Luxembourg
and The Netherlands, who have
been hammering out the details
in six months of negotiations, re-
port the pact will be signed next
Thursday or Friday.
The plan takes it's name from
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman, who suggested the pool
last May 8. The primary French
aim was to prevent another war
between Germany and France.
One Third u. S. Output.
Together, the six nations pro-
duce about third as much steel
as the United States, where the
output now is lowering between
1O2 million and 106 million tons
a year. The ratio of coal pro-
duction is similar.
Delegates will meet Monday to
polish up phrasipg of the docu-
ment to change the destiny of
these regions, for so long dedi-
Gated to the making of arms of
war"
1t may be four or five years be-
fore the pool plan is fully in oper-
alton and running smoothly. 1t
undoubtedly will require months
before any concrete steps can
start the pool on its way. Cabinet
ministers. due here shortly after
December /, must get the ap-
proval Of their governments on
the document. and work out high
level details.
But the negotiators have all
but finished the foundations for
what they say is a safeguard for
world peace that is equal in scope
to the dangers that threaten it."
To Erase Competition.
The economic effect of the pact
will be to erase the historic and
often bloodthirsty competition Of
these nations to sell the output
of their mines and mills.
Politically. the negotiators are
convinced the effect is deeper. Mr..
Schuman In suggesting the pool,
said the rallying of European
nations requires that the secular
opposition of France and Ger
many be eliminated"
The delegates believe the Schu-
man Plan will achieve that pur-
pose.
Other purposes are to protect
from price gouging the little con-
sumer of steel and to spur the re-
armament of Western Europe.
Hope to Remove Differences.
Most diplomats believe the ere
alton of the Schuman Plan treaty
will remove the differences be-
tween France and the rest OF the
Western world on rearmament Of
Germany.
The formula for reconciling the
differences still is being worked
out.
Germany has agreed, during
pool negotiations, to abide by the
pools provisions banning cartels
those groupings of related in
dustries which allow one man or
group of men to control trade en-
pires that can be harnessed to
war.
