Wide Corruption

A United States survey mission
headed by Daniel w. Bell, today
recommended $3.50 million FIVE
year program of loans and grants
TO the Philippines provided the
island republic carries out sweep
ing economic, financial and social
reforms.
Economic conditions in the
Philippines are unsatisfactory,
the mission reported. The eco
nomic situation has been deteri-
Grating in the past two years and
unless positive measures are
taken to- deal with the fundamen-
tai causes of these difficulties, it
must be expected the economic
situation will deteriorate further
and political disorders will in
evitably result"
The report said the Philippine
government had failed to deal
effectively with postwar problems
and added bluntly:
'Inefficiency and even corrup-
ton in the government service are
widespread"
Public Lacks Confidence"
1t also said agriculture and busi-
ness leaders have not been "suffi-
ciently aware Of their responsible

Alarm spread through the cap

staunch old ruler. People clustered
around newsstands for extra

Reporters hovered near the
royal palace during the night in

BALTIMORE. Oct. 2s.-The
mailing list and files used by
George P. Mahoney in his Demo-
cratic primary campaign against
Gov. Lane have fallen into the
hands of Theodore R. McKeldin,

This was disclosed today by Ed

Mr.. Wiscott was emphatic in
stating that "Mr. Mahoney had
nothing at all to do with this. -
Appeals for Mr.. McKeldin have
been mailed into all of Maryland S

In the District, the strike would
affect directly only 18o Western

Rebels
Reported Closing In
I0n Laokay Bastion
Evacuation Is Seen
As Difficult Task;
Garrison Isolated
BY the Associated Press

SAIGON, Indo-China, Oct. %.
--Communist-led Wet Mimi forces
were officially reported today to be
closing in on the isolated French
bastion of Laokay, which guards
northwest Indo-China's frontier.
A military spokesman said the
attacking forces of rebel chief
Ho Chi Mimi are coming into
contact with Fort Hennequin on
the east bank of the Red River.
The fort is within 2 miles of Lao
kay's eastern ramparts.
The French garrison is with
drawing from Banthiet, miles
northeast of Laokay, the spokes-
man said. The small garrison of
the outlying post had come under
mortar fire.
Meanwhile, there was specula-
ton here as to what chance the
Laokay garrison would have for
! od4C CNdSuoC4Oll.
Tough Problem Faced.
| Should withdrawal be necessary,
observers said Laokay's garrison
faces a tougher problem than the
one at Caobang, where the French
lost more than 5000 of their best
troops.
| Laokay is isolated from overland
contact with other major French
positions. Safety lies closest with
the French lines more than 100
miles to the southeast.
Should the Laokay garrison at
tempt an overland dash to the
Hanoi area, it would probably fol-
low the west bank of the Red
River. Along that bank there are
still some French outposts which
would assist such a withdrawal
attempt.
Any attempt to airlift troops
out of Laokay would be more diff
ficult than making a run for
Hanoi.
Fort in Cup Like Valley.
Laokay lies in a cup-like valley
amidst dominating heights largely
occupied by Wet Mini. The
short clay air strip which is often
unusable because of heavy rains,
is so situated as to require planes

Marshall Urges
QuickCreation
Atlantic Force
Stresses Realism at
Opening Session Of
Defense Ministers
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Marshall to-
day called on North Atlantic de-
fense ministers to be realistic in
the appreciation of the present
critical situation" by rapidly form
ing a combined Western Europe
force to meet the threat of Com
munist aggression.
Declaring that what has been
done so far is far from
enough" Gen. Marshall told the
opening session of the North At
lantic Treaty Organizations De-
fense Committee that I'VE must
not sink into an attitude of COM
placency or overconfidence, for the
struggle may only have begun.
The potential collective force
of the United Nations was not
enough to deter the aggressors in
Korea" he declared. THE actual
collective forces of the North At
lantic states may not be enough
to deter aggression in our North
Atlantic area and definitely is not
enough to resist attack without
serious and critical initial losses.
Must Close Gap Quickly.
THAT gap in our military
strength we must now close as
quickly as possible. Out of this
meeting should come definite rec
concentrations that not only will
make us stronger to meet the pres
ent threats but to do so more
quickly than past procedure would
indicate.
1--WE must face facts without
prejudice" he told the meeting
at the Departmental Auditorium
session at which the question Of
French refusal to accept a pro-
posal for creation of West Ger
man army units is certain to be
discussed at length. However, the
general made no direct reference
to that subject in his formal ad-
dress.
Among other topics likely to be
raised during the session are:
/. The scope of the supreme
commanders authority. The
iNATO military committee, meet
ing here earlier this week. recon-
mended the immediate appoint
ment of such a commander and
Gen. Eisenhower is considered
likely to be appointed.
2. Whether the laws of the indi-
vidual nations allow them, under
peacetime conditions, to place
their troops, planes and ships
under such commander or
whether special legislation is nec-
essary.
Questions of Prestige.
8. The location of the supreme
headquarters. This in turn raises
questions about prestige for the
country in which the headquar-
ters is situated and problems Of
how vulnerable it might be to

Cleveland Area Vote
Probably Will Settle
Taff-Ferguson Race
Senator Is Campaigning
Hard to Offset Lobor's
Cuyohoeo County Margin
By Gould Lincoln
star Stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND. Oct. 2s.-Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are fighting
hard for votes in this great met
ropolitan area.
! The results here may spell either
victory or defeat for Senator Taft.
Republican. or his Democratic op-
ponent. State Auditor Joseph T.
Ferguson. Cuyahoga County,
which includes Cleveland, has
been relied on for years to seal
victories for Democratic State
wide candidates. Senator Taft
himself came into the area yes
terday for four days of unremit-
ting campaigning.
The CIO, AFL and other labor
organizations are confident they
can roll up at least a 100,000-vote
lead for Mr.. Ferguson in the coun-
ty. They have organized in every
precinct where workers live to get
them to the polls on election day.
They talk of gaining 80 or 80 per
cent of the labor vote.
More neutral observers believe
this estimate is too high. The
/ greatest lead ever given a Demo-
cratic candidate by the county was
$4,000 In his two previous elec-
tions, Senator Taft lost Cuyahoga
County. The first time in 1888 by
$4,000 votes and the second time
in 1914 by $4,000. Senator Taft's
Statewide majority in 1888 was
! 71,000 and IL 1914 it was 1900.
Republicans Work Hard.
Republican leaders in the county
insist that there is great enthusi-
asm and willingness to work for
Senator Taft among Republicans
in this election campaign.
1--WE seen nothing like it for
years." said one. He offered to
bet that Senator Taft would lose
the county by not more than 5000
votes. If that should happen
the Senator would be in by an
overwhelming majority. Indeed
it is the opinion of neutral OBJ
servers that if Senator Taft lost
Cuyahoga County by no more than
$4,000, or even 100000 votes, he
could still win.
The registration in Cuyahoga
County this year is greater than
any in its history-about 691 900
The new registration is large and
the labor organizations are in part
responsible because of the great
drive they waged to get the work
ers to register.
Straight Tickets Out.
The new ballot form adopted
this year prevents casting a
straight ticket vote-that is, by a
single mark vote for all the Dem
ocratic or Republican candidates
, Instead, the voter must make his
mark for each individual candi-
date. At the top of the list are
the candidates for Governor, ther
Lieutenant Governor, secretary o1
State, treasurer. attorney general
and next, the candidates fol
Senator.
