Foreign Minister Jacob A. Malik
was defeated in an attempt to
have the issue postponed.
Sir Carl Berendsen of New Zea-
land, Alexis Kryou of Greece and
Jean Chauvel of France also called
for extending Mr.. Lies term.
Mr.. Lie left the rostrum as the
debate on his future began.
Mr.. Malik said the 60-nation
Assembly had no legal right to
consider extending his term as
asked by the United States.
Extension Is Expected.
A Soviet veto in the Security
Council has prevented Mr.. Lies
reelection to a new flve-year term
in the $40,000-a-year Office.
Before the Assembly was a reso-
luton supported by the United
States and 13 other countries to
extend Mr.. Lies term for a three
year period after it expires next
February 2. The Assembly was
expected to extend Mr.. Lies term
following the debate.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Y. Vishinsky gave newsmen a
preview yesterday of the anti-Lie
TRADE he expects to stage from
the Assembly rostrum today.
At a press conference he called
Mr.. Lie a two-faced tool of the
United States and said Russia
would not deal with him if the
outspoken Norwegian's term is ex-
tended by the General Assembly.
Mr.. Vishinsky, however, did not
threaten to quit the U. N. if Mr..
Lie stays in office.
Effect Of Threats Discounted.
Officials were quick to point out
that most Russian business is con-
Quoted through the assistant sec

Russian refusal to deal with Mr..
Lie would have little practical ef-
feet.
Mr.. Vishinsky is expected to
make his blast in opposing the res

Woman IsCrusheG
To Death by Truck
While Lying in Street

A 32-year-old woman, lying in
street, was crushed to death by
an express truck early today after
a pasSerby had tried in vain to
get a call through to police.
Police said the woman was Mrs.
Sue Mary Beebe, whose home was
In the 3700 block of South KEN
per road, Arlington, but who had
been living under the name Of
Jacklin (Jackie) Kelley in the 900
block Of I street NV.
According to Detective Sergt.
Emmitt Waters of the accident
investigation unit, the woman's
husband, William Beebe, filed suit
for divorce in Virginia yesterday.
Witnesses told police Mrs. Beebe
started across the street in front
of the I street address when she
suddenly dropped to the ground.
While she was lying there, a
paSserby rushed into a nearby
establishment and asked some one
to call police to the aid of the
woman in the street. His request,
according to police. was refused.
Police estimated that she had
been lying in the street for 20,
minutes before the fatal accident.
Police said the truck driver was
: Nathaniel w. Wilder, Is, of 7O2 T
street Sc. According to police,
the driver had Just turned the

DR.. Valentine Outlines
Problem Of Setting Up
.Shorf-Term Controls

Alan Valentine, economic sta
bilization administrator, said to-
day the main problem about order
ing controls is to form program
effective for short-term needs yet
adaptable to long-term necessi-
ties"
Addressing the Women's Ma
tional Press Club at a luncheon in
the Washington Hotel, he said the
current situation differs greatly
from 1941 conditions. Wartime
control precedents should not be
wholly neglected, but neither can
they be fully trusted now" he de-
clared.
Happily from the general point
Of view there is no comparable
reserve Of unemployed today as
there was in 1941." he said. But
competition for skilled labor will
become more severe, increasing
the tendency toward higher wages,
followed by higher prices and an
other circle in the upward spiral
Of imitation. It also increases the
possibility Of higher overtime for
skilled workers, at higher than
normal rates with more imitation
ary effect"
Unless the economic line can be
held voluntarily and by indirect
control the Government will have
to apply "other means" DR..
Valentine warned.
Imitation comes from basic
economic causes but 1t also comes
from natural human DESIRES" he
said. Many Americans have
liked some aspects of the imitation
of recent years and perhaps
profited by them. though only
temporarily.
1--WE must revise our personal
desires and recognize that each
Of us may have to choose between
peace and stability or a new car,
a new television set or new
home. Direct controls only re-
strict or postpone or conceal the
effects of imitation. They do not
cure imitation.
Any direct controls must there
fore be accompanied by more
fundamental measures to cure in
fation, some of which measures
other Government agencies are
taking"

Death Sign Braved
ByYouth Who Names9 9
Police in n. Y. Graft
BY the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A tall,
thin youth with glasses braved
the dread death sign" in court
yesterday and named nine police
men as grafters In a Brooklyn
bookie ring.
1t was the latest turn in the
Kings County grand jury gam
bling inquiry that has shaken New
York with one revelation of police
corruption after another.
The names of the accused police
were not made public, but were
sent on to the new reform police
commissioner, Thomas F. Murphy.
The witness. 22-yearzold Charles
Tomack, gangling t and pasty-
faced, told how he was lured into
the racket at the age of 16 and
then piled up a record of 10
gambling arrests-half of them
phoney - drug addiction, and
finally burglary of a drugstore to
get more drugs.
Told to Keep Talking.
Tomack started to talk when he
was called up for sentencing on
the burglary charge. The minute
he opeend up, County Judge Sam
uel Leibowitz, who has been super
vising the rackets grand jury,
brushed aside the schedule and
told Tomack to keep talking.
Suddenly Judge Leibowitz or
dered his courtroom cleared, say
ing unknown spectators had made
the terrifying death sign" at
Tomack.
This is a gesture imported from
Europa finger knuckle bitten
and pointed toward the witness.
1t has frozen many men and wom-
en- into complete silence in the
middle of their testimony.
But Tomack kept on, naming
9 out of 13 policemen who were
paraded before him in private as
those who tagged him for stand
in arrests s'-pre- e-arranged book
ings to make the police look good.
Tomack, who said he has cured
his drug habit in jail awaiting
sentence, said his boss was Mike
Hackmeyer, Brooklyn bookie
with a 50-arrest record. Hack
meyer is free under $4,000 bail
as a material witness in the
investigation.
Candidates Get Bodyguards.
In another facet of New York S
police upheaval. reports of pre-
election vandalism and other
rough stuff led Commissioner
Murphy to assign bodyguards to
the candidates for Mayor.
Looting of offices and homes
and physical assaults also were
reported yesterday in the bitter

they don't know the subject,
catch on quickly and turn out
very good trays, bowls and the
like within a short time.
The beginner in art metal
work first learns about the
materials he will handle,
mostly copper, brass and
aluminium. He learns what
they are composed of and
which can be soldered and
shaped in which ways. Usu-
ally, his first article will be
made of copper because it is
relatively easy to shape. A
candy dish or bowl is a good
starting piece and in making
one the student learns to use
the basic hand tools, tin ships,
art metal hammers and
others. Designs and draw
ings, either suggested by Mr..
Standiford or devised by the
student, are sometimes added.
In later class periods, students
learn soft and hard soldering
and then a combination of the
two in the same article; dom
ing, fluting and raising;
bufhng and polishing; color
ing, either with liver of sui
phur or heat and coating with
lacquer or wax.
In the plastics class, Mr..
White teaches his students to
fabricate articles from sheets
of plastic, using hand tools.
machines and heat. For a
piece such as a jewel box,
which has all straight sides, no
heat is needed. A special SOL
vent Is used to seal the edges.
Advanced students learn in
ternal carving, in which a
small, high speed electric drill
is used to cut a design from
the under side of a piece of
plastic. The hole is filled with
colored dyes and then with
plaster of paris, leaving the
colored design on the inside
where it shows through from
the top. Casting in molds
with plastic resin is another
part of the course.
In both the classes, students
work on projects of their own
choosing. What makes the
adult work often more in
teresting than that of younger
students Is that there can be
a greater variety of work 60
ing on at one time and some
OF the projects show consid-
cradle ingenuity. The stu
dents range in age from the
early 2Os to the late Cos and

AS you already know he is the
leader of q band Of fanatics that
want the independence for Puerto

The majority Of the Puerto Ri

and they voted for q good cause,
the cause they voted was for a
better Puerto Rico.
The attempt to kill the presi-
dent Of the United States, and the
governor Of Puerto Rico, was cow
munist gangsters, followers of
Stain.
He could be compared as 4
traitor, that not also want the des
truction of the island he was
born, but also of the peace of the
world.
! thank you Mr.. RrOdhurst for
