NOn-Essential Building Banned

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Ma tional Production Authority yes terday banned the building of any new structures for amusement, recreational or entertain m n purposes"
 The order, effective at midnight last night, was issued to conserve materials for armamentS.
 Covered by the ban are theaters of all kinds, amusement parks, race tracks, golf courses, night clubs, skating rinks and summer camps. In all, there are A forbid den types of structures.
 The NPA administrator, Will liam H. Harrison said in a state ment accompanying his action that the barred construction "is of a type which does not further the defense effort, either directly or indirectly, and does not increase the nations productive capacity"
 Persons woh start other build ings which do not further the de- fense drive-even though not on the prohibited list-run the risk of being barred from completion of the building, Harrison said.
 Such construction begun after midnight last night may be halted "even though it's commencement at the present time is not forbid den by this order," the production chief specified.
 The order applies to federal, state and city recreational pro- jects as well as private buildings.
 The NPA simultaneously issued two more orders settling the de- fense yoke more firmly on the economy.
 1. The steel industry was direct ed to furnish steel for the produc- ton of at least 10000 freight cars a month. This will take upwards of 3OO,O00 tons monthly from the civilian supply.
 2. Other allocation programs of the same type were made possible by an NPA amendment to it's steel production order. This will permit allocations of steel, similar to the freight car plan, for steel deliveries to the petroleum and mining industries, farm machin- cry makers, and other defense supporting industries.

Korean Situation At A Glance
Thursday. October 26. 1850 (By The Associated PreSS)

Red China's Manchurian border tonight.
 South Korean patrols raced un- opposed to the south bank of the Yalu River, in the center of the uneasy frontier between North Korea and Manchuria. They were the first U. N. troops to complete the long thrust up the mountain ous peninsula.
 Other elements of the same di- vision-the Republic of Korea Sixth-were reported under at tack by Chinese communists some 50 miles to the south. There was no high Allied confirmation, how ever.
 U. S. Eighth Army spokesman said "there is no evidence of overt or open support of North Korea by the Chinese communist army" Two Chinese prisoners, he said, were in North Korean uniform.
 The Eighth Army command was making an intensive investigation. One prisoner had reported that 10000 Red Chinese troops had crossed into North Korea from Manchuria. The other had report ed the Chinese were attacking.
 The spokesman made it clear that all U. N. forces, including American, can operate anywhere in North Korea that strategy dic- tates. There had been reports that U. S. troops might be stopped short of the Manchurian border.
 And on the east coast, the U. s. Marine First Division spearhead- ed a 5O,0O0-man landing force at captured Wonsan port.
 The Korean Military Advisory Group reported that the honor of being the first U. N. force to reach the Manchurian boundary fell to the Seventh Regiment of the BOX Sixth Division.
 In Berlin. a Soviet controlled newspaper announced that Chi nese communist forces have cross ed Tibet's frontier to ''liberate" the people of the little mountain nation.
 The first assertion that Red Chi nese actually had entered Tibet came from Taegliche Rundschau, which said:
 "In the early morning hours of Tuesday. a formation of the Chi nese Peoples army crossed the Tibetan frontier" The advancing force was identified as the Second Chinese Field army. .>
 This followed an announcement by the Peiping radio yesterday that Red China's troops had been ordered to march on Tibet.
 The communist Chinese have been limiting and threateneing an invasion of Tibet for months. In Moscow, the communist newspa- per Pravda said the Chinese Sec ond Field army has been ordered into action. It said the Liberation army would bring freedom, peace and democracy to the 3,000,000 in habitants of that remote region. The communists charge Tibet is dominated by Britain and the United States.
 A spokesman at Gen. MacAr- thurs. headquarters said Ameri- can troops in Korea have a mis- sion to perform that is far from

Truman May Call Congress Back Before Nov. 27
(By D. Harold Oliver)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Presldent Truman may call Congress back before it's scheduled return Nov. 27, but he said yesterday he has not yet reached a decision.
 He said if the call is made it would be to give Congress little more working time on a whole list of things. including an excess profits tax, rent control extension, and statehood for Alaska and Ha- Waii.
 MT. Truman discussed the pos sibility in a White House news conference that covered wide range of topics.
 The new 82nd Congress does not meet until Jan. 3, nearly two months after the Nov. ' elections.
 MT. Truman said he has taken up the matter of recalling Con- gress with Vice President Bark ley, but would talk it over with other party leaders before making a decision. He said he would an- nounce his decision when he reaches it, whether it is before or after the elections.
 Responding to other questions, MT. Truman said:
 He does not expect any trouble in Western Europe this winter. A reporter had remarked that some people in Holland were anticipating war in a few months.
 2-He knows of but one atomic explosion ever having occurred in Soviet Russia. Gordon Dean of the atomic energy commission had been asked at a press conference Tuesday whether he knew of any more atomic explosions in Russia and he replied that "the President hasn't seen fit to make any more announcements" beyond the one he made last year.
 3-That Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur knew in advance of this coun- try's plan to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. A newsman had said that writer John Gunther had re- ported otherwise. The President said that was not true. He added he gave the order to MacArthur and the general issued the order to drop the bomb.
 file is seriously considering making one or two campaign speeches but said he probably will not leave Washington for it. He said national Democratic chair man William Boyle had urged him to make several speeches be- fore the election, but that he had not made up his mind.
 MT. Truman said he did not be- lieve he could take brief vaca- ton in Key West, Fla, next month because he will be too busy.
 Asked to comment on the state ment Wednesday night by Harold E. Stassen that the President will favor admitting Red China to the United Nations after the Novem- Der elections, the President said he wondered where Stassen got his information.
 Smiling, he added Stassen prob ably got it from Chairman Guy Gabrielson of the Republican Ma tional committee, not from me.
 He said it was his understand ing that Korean Republic forces

Montgomery Defers Action
On PoIicemen's Extra Jobs

The Montgomery County Per-
sonnel Board has denied, at least
temporarily. request for elimina-
ton or amendment of a police
manual regulation forbidding po-
licemen from taking part-time
jobs.
The request was made by De-
tective Sergt. James M. Anderson,
president of the County Police
Association, on the ground it works
a hardship on men who need addi-
tional income.
After a meeting Wednesday
night. however, Sergt. Anderson
said the board promised to dis
cuss the matter further with
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr.
Strict enforcement of the regu-
lation began last Friday under an
order issued by Police Chief
Charles M. Orme. The provision
has been on the books for many
years. but has been waived in cases
where policemen established the
need for more income.
