HALF BILLION
IS cut FROM
new BUDGET

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 - Up =
The Budget Bureau announced to-
day a $3.50, 271 1886 cut in non-defense
appropriations = S30,27l. 1856 more
than the minimum cut Congress
ordered after voting the funds.
The Bureaus reductions, for the
fiscal year ending next June 80,
were approved by President Tru-
man. They were spread over 81
agencies in the Executive Branch
which shared in the S35. 554, 600, 425
single-package appropriations act to
which the cuts applied.
That act made up a large part OF
the nearly $4,000, 100000 Congress
appropriated this year before re-
cessing until Nov 27.
The biggest slash of all whacked
SIS, 100000, or half, off the $780,
100000 total voted by Congress for
the Federal Security Agency's grants
for hospital construction.
Other cuts of $50,000,000 or more;
Army Engineers civil activities,
European Recovery Program MAR
shall Plan), and relief in occupied
areas abroad, $50,000,000 each.
The Bureau said however, the
cuts will not require stopping power
project work already contracted for
by the Army Engineers and will not
cause any halt or showdown in the
Interior Departments current power
projects.

FREIGHTER
Union Members Refuse 10
Sign on Susifnd, Due
10 Sail Thursday

SEATTLE, Oct. 10-R-The dis
pute of the Marine Cooks and Stew
ards Union over the Coast Guard
security screening" program spread
to a Seattle-Alaska freighter yes
terday. The steward department re-
fused to sign on the SIS Susitna at
pier AZ.
The Susitna, an Alaska Steamship
Co. cargo ship, is scheduled to sail
about Thursday with freight for
Sitka and Southwest Alaska ports.
Charles Nichols, Marine Cooks
and Stewards port agent. said he
was mot too sure" about the dis
pute on the Susitna. Another union
official was handling that ship, he
said. But, Nichols added, the re-
fusal may have been because stew
ard members did not want to sign
on until the day before the ship
sailed. This would enable them to
escape payment of Alaska taxes on
voyage pay, he said.
Meanwhile, Seattle-Alaska pas
senger service has been knocked out
by the controversy. The SIS Baranof,
which sailed Friday, is enroute to
Alaska as a straight cargo ship. All
passenger reservations were can
celled by the company when the
Steward Department failed to
guarantee full compliance with pro-
visions of the security program.
The SIS Denali, another Alaska
Steamship Co. passenger ship, also
will be operated as a freighter UNI
less the union gives assurance its
members will sign articles under
the screening program and replace
any members rejected as bad Sc
curity risks" the company warned.
The Denali is scheduled to sail
from Seattle Friday.
The screening procedure, de-
signed to keep Communists and sub
versives off US. merchant ships
sailing to war and defense zones,
calls for seamen's papers to be
turned over to the Commissioner
who turns them over to the Coast
Guard security officers for exami-
nation at the time of signing on.
(There is an Alaska tax on all
wages earned in the Territory, which
includes wages of seamen in Alaska
waters. The tax must be withheld
from the time the ships articles are
signed for each voyage until the
articles are terminated at the end of
the trip

RUSSSTAND
PUZZLES UN
DIPLOMATS
Vishinsky's Acceptance Of
Peace Plan Is Received
with Grain of Salt

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 10-tR--
Western diplomats we're skeptical
today of Russia's surprise accept
ance of some parts of us. Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson's four
point anti-veto peace plan.
They speculated on the Soviet
Unions motives.
Was it one of Russia's startling
diplomatic shifts, they asked? Or
was the tentative embrace which
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y
Vishinsky gave the plan in the CO.
nation Political Committee intended
as the kiss of death?
Puzzled diplomats were waiting for
a major Vishinsky policy speech
which may come today, to clarity
the situation.
The plan itself, called United
Action for Peace" is a formaliza-
ton of Acheson's Sept. 20 pro-
posals, which the State Depart
ment's Republican adviser John
Foster Dulles called the logical
sequence" of the lessons learned in
Korea. Its main points are:
Peace Plans
/. Emergency sessions of the veto
free General Assembly whenever the
Security Council, which has the
primary responsibility for preserv-
ing peace, is hamstrung by veto.
2. Peace patrols of observers to
report to the Assembly on acts OF
aggression.
8. Designation by U.N. members
of specific units of their armed
forces to be placed at the disposal
of the U.N. in times of crisis.
4. Establishment of a commission
to report to the Security Council
and General Assembly next year on
specific means which might be used
to enforce peace.
Co-sponsors with the US. are
Canada, France the Philippines
Turkey, Britain and Uruguay.
Soviet Partial Approval
The plan was introduced to the
Political Committee yesterday by
Dulles, who left the door open fol
possible Soviet participation. He
said:
1.-The representatives of the Soviet
Union profess to believe that the
United States now has aggressive
and war-like intentions which
frighten them. If they really believe
that, then they will want the pro-
lection that these proposals viii
afford"
Vishinsky Immediately took the
floor on a point Of order anc
astounded delegates by declaring
Russia favored some OF the polnts
in the sweeping program. He added
however, that there would have Il
be many amendments and altera'
tions.
Most observers had expected out
right Soviet opposition.

W0N5AN NOW
IN HANDS OF
u!N SOLDIERS
American Forces MAKING
Advances Despite Stub
born Red Resistance
(By the Associated Press

South Korean troops today cap
tured the big industrial port city of
Wonsan on North Korea's east
coast.
US. Army sources said the South
Koreans were hopping up Red
snipers and the port would be fully
secured within "a hours Wonsan is
about los miles north of the 38th
parallel. Its airfield, now in Allied
hands, is about 95 miles east of
Pyongyang, the Communist capt.
tai.
American forces, pushing across
the parallel from captured Kaesong,
met fierce Communist resistance on
the main road to Pyongyang. The
First Cavalry Division was about
80 miles south of the Red capital
but it was slowed to yard by yard
advance by stubborn North Korean
defenses in the border area.
A spokesman at Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters said the Communists
had prepared defenses to the depth
of 25 miles but nevertheless Ameri-
can forces were making gains.
The First Cavalry was fighting on
a Is mile front. American tanks,
artillery and planes blasted hole
in the defense network and Infantry
reached Sinchon, a highway village
about 21a miles north of the 38th
parallel. Another First Cavalry unit
drove ahead on a northwest tangent
from Kaesong and a third force
reached Panbu, Is miles to the
northeast.
South Korean troops moving up
the center Of the peninsula met in
creasingly strong Communist oppo-
sition. At least two Red divisions
have been regrouped here and Mac
Arthur's headquarters said the
enemy had concentrated his main
force in this central front, five miles
north of the parallel.

Russia Claims American
Fiqhfer Planes Sfrafed

Russian assertion)
A Russian protest note was pro-
ferred to us. Minister Counsellor
Walworth Barbour last night by
Soviet Deputy Minister Andrei
Gromyko. The note placed the in
cident 81 miles north of the Soviet
Korean border.
1t demanded "strict punishment"
for the responsible personnel
and American assurances against
such incidents in the future.
The note said two F-80 Shooting
Star jets machinegunned an airfield
in the Sukhaya Rechka area at 4:l7
pm. Qocal time) Sunday. Sukhaya
Rechka is across Novik Bay from
Vladivostok and about Is miles
southwest of that important ST.
berian rail and shipping terminus.
No Casualties
"As a result of the firing damage
was inflicted on airdrome equip
ment," the note declared. 1t made
no mention of casualties.
Barbour declined to accept the
note on the grounds the protest was
a matter for the United Nations
to handle.
Gromyko disagreed, arguing that
since the note dealt with the firing
by American planes on a Soviet in
stallation, it was the sole concern OF
the two governments involved.
The note subsequently was sent
by the Russians to the us. En-
bassy. us. Ambassador Alan G.
Kirk, who had been in bed with a
cold, went there early this morning
to inform the State Department OF
the Soviet communication.
Moscow Prints Report
1t was published in Moscow papers
without editorial comment.
"In connection with these pro-
vocative actions OF the American Air
Force, expressed in gross violation
of the U.S.S.R. state frontier.
and in firing on Soviet airdrome,
the Soviet government launches
resolute protest with the govern
ment of the United States" the
note said.
In refusing to accept the note.
Barbour took the same stand as was
taken by the United States last Sep
TENDER. when Russia protested the
downing of a Soviet plane by Amer
lean aircraft off Korea.
That note was never accepted by
the United States, and Russia sub
mitted it to the United Nations for
consideration only. not for action. 1t
has remained shelyed SO far.
