Ferguson Gives
Key Note Address
At Convention

State. Auditor Joseph F.. Fer,
guson, Democratic candidate for
U. S., Senator, Friday warned
delegates to the Democratic State
Convention: while no greater
menace,-confronts America today
than the wicked design Of the
II evil men in the Kremlin who
seek to rule the world this
same menace here at home in the
United States Senate, in the
form of reaction and obstruction,
are attempting, to destroy !, the
power of America. =
Delivering the keynote address
to the convention, Ferguson told
the Democratic leaders:
In the face Of the responsibility
which / have undertaken to serve
my country, want to say to you
that I will do the best L know
how. That I will do the best I
can. And / intend to do just that
to the very end.
When our Democratic leader
ship uses the power of America
to bring peace and prosperity to
the world, these evil forces of re-
action and obstruction in the
United States Senate shout that
the price is too high - that we
cannot afford 1t.
II tell you no price Is too great
to save America from disaster
and bring peace to the world.
Our Democratic administra-
ton, speaking for the majority of
the people of America. has SER
we'd notice that brute force Of
aggression will not be tolerated.
Ferguson criticized "the voice
from Ohio" by demanding the
resignation of the Secretary Of
State on the very day the forces
of aggression invaded Korea.
I'VE can imagine" he declared,
''the comfort this man from Ohio
gave to our enemies on that black
day of June 25th. And again the
world was shocked when this same
voice from Ohio denounced
George Marshall, our greatest
living American. who was called
from retirement to serve his
country as Chief of Defense of the
United States.
I'VE have all learned that the
only system of government that
brings prosperity and happiness
to common people h is govern
ment by the Democratic Party,
"As a Democrat l am proud of
the accomplishments of the DEM
ocratic Party in the past II
years.
I'VE did give the country a
new deal And it certainly
needed it.
"The Democratic Party gave all
the people New Deal industl y

adopted to maintain farm income
at a real American level.

Cold in Korea Called
Bigger Blow 10 Foes
By The Associated Press

WITH THE UNITED STATES
10th CORPS IN NORTHEAST
KOREA. Nov. 18.-The chief sur
geon of Gen. MacArthur's Far
East Command yesterday said Chi
nese Communist and North Ko-
rean forces were suffering far
more casualties from the frigid
Korean weather than were gen.
orally well-equipped American
troops.
Maj. Gen. Edgar Erskine Hume
said he visited a hospital where
none of the American frost-bite
cases I saw was severe"
"On the other hand" he said
there were captured North Ko-
reans who had lost limbs from
the freezing.
Almost all of the United Ma
tions cases of frostbite have been
from neglect on the part of the
soldier. It takes a lot of cold to
freeze an ear, or a hand or foot,
THE best Arctic winter equip
ment has been sent to Korea. We
have not been caught by surprise. -
|, Col. Alvin Levi Gorby, 10th
Corps surgeon, said two cases of
death from cold have been re-
ported among U. N. troops on the
icy northeast front. He said 1870
cases of frostbite have been eva
cuated as far as corps installa-
tions. Probably an equal num-
ber were being handled by forward
medical installations, he said.

Reds Reported Using
Dogs for Guard Duty
BY the Associated Press

An Army spokesman expressed
belief today that Chinese Com
munists are probably using savage,
hardy dogs for guard duty in the
fighting in North Korea.
The officer told reporter that
both the Chinese and Japanese
used dogs effectively for this pur-
pose during World War II.
When they were holding a de-
fensive position, he said, they
often would fasten dogs short
distance forward. The dogs were
tied to barbed wire defenses, to
which noise makers were attached.
If the dogs detected the approach
of strangers, their barking and
jumping created such a bedlam
that it alerted the defenders.
The Army spokesman said the
dogs in Western Manchuria are
an extremely savage and hardy
breed and it is unwise for human
beings to walk about at night in
an area where they are loose.

public debate. They should be

much of it informal. ;"
Hopes for Quick Accord.
Mr. Lie also expressed the hope
the Security Council and the
General Assembly could reach a
speedy settlement on the Chinese
representation issue. Some time
ago he circulated a memorandum
to U. N. members suggesting the
Chinese Communists be seated in
place of the Nationalists on the
grounds that the Red regime in
Peiping actually is the body gov
erning China.
The Assembly overwhelmingly
approved yesterday peace
through deeds" resolution brought
in as the non-Communist world
answer to the Soviet-sponsored
Stockholm appeal.
By its action the Assembly de-
fined aggreSSion-whether COM
mitted openly or by fifth columns
as the gravest crime against
world security. The Assembly
condemned interference with the
free flow of world news for the
purpose of isolating people be-
hind iron curtains. 1t once more
urged all nations to accept the
U. N majority plan for atomic
control-a plan calling for inter-
national inspection and operation
of atomic facilities.
A counter peace" proposal by
Russia based on the Stockholm
appeal was rejected. Russia had
sought to brand as a war criminal
the first government to use the
atomic bomb but did not define
aggression itself as crime.
Debated in Committee.
When the subject was thrashed
out in committee several days ago
non-C Communist delegates said
aggression itself-rather than the
use of any specific weapon--was
the great crime against humanity.
They said country victimized by
an attack might DE. justified in
using the atom bomb to protect
its independence.
The United States yesterday
supported a five-nation appeal for
direct negotiations between India
and South Africa to settle their
fight over the treatment of In
dian minorities in South Africa.
India's complaints against al
legged mistreatment of it's 100000
nationals in South Africa have
been a thorny issue before the
United Nations since 1916.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
Republican, of Massachusetts, told
the committee the American dele
cation favors the direct negotia-
tions proposal by Brazil, Bolivia,
Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
This urges India, Pakistan and
South Africa to talk, things over
on their own, but failing to get
they should call in al
mediator before throwing the is
sue to the U. N. once more.
