last night.
Whether or not his phone con-

one angle of the many-sided Sen

What made the 1947 inquiry
hectic was the feud between Mr.

Brewster now admits authorizing

French Cabinet Backs
Note 10 U. 5. PIedeing
Arms Spending Boost
81 Funds Moy Be Double
1850 Outlay; Denmark
Plans 81 Million BUDGET
BY The Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Aug. 5.-The French
Cabinet tonight approved a note
to the United States which au-
thoritative sources said commits
France to possibly double her de-
fense spending next year. The
1850 military budget totals 42o
billion francs about $1.2 billion)
The French memorandum an
swers a request by the United
States to its North Atlantic pact
allies for information on what
steps they can take to bolster
Western defenses against Com
munist aggression. It is believed to
carry a request for dollar aid to
foot most of the bill.
Britain announced Friday she
is ready to boost her defense
spending to a total of $9,520, ,0O0,-
900 over the next three years, pro-
vided she is given substantial as
sistance by the United States.
Denmark Fund Planned.
Britain and France are the most
powerful European members of
the 12-nation alliance. One of the
smaller members, Denmark, an
nounced today that she proposes
to spend 400 million kroner (about
$57 million) on rearmament and
civil defense in the next two years.
The United States, which is
putting billions into Western de-
fenses. had hoped for replies from
all the members of the alliance
today, but some where delayed.
In Belgium, for instance, the crisis
over King Leopold III intervened.
The civilian directors of the al
lance. called the Council of Depu-
ties, announced an 18-day ad-
journment of their London con-
ference last night so they can con-
suit their home governments etc
further plans for the increase o1
forces which shall be accomplished
in the near future"
Men and Machines Pledged.
The French memorandum is be.
ing relayed to President Truman
by Ambassador David K. Bruce
Pledging French support to the
Western worlds anti-Communist
bulwarks in terms of men and ma
chimes, it is to be made public here
Monday.
Premier Rene Pelven already
has publicly committed France to
a military budget of at least 500
billion francs next year. This
would be an increase of 80 billion
francs over the military alloca-
tions for 1850, which represent
about 18 per cent of the total
budget.
Frances big needs are dollars
and machine tools to build an
armament industry. Most of the
nations factories for making
tanks and guns were wrecked in
the war and most of those that
weren't have been converted to
turn out other products.

Veto, Delegates Say
But New Communist Drive

Security Council Action
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 5.-De-
legateS in the United Nations say
a Soviet veto cannot stop the U. N.
war effort against invading Com
munist North Koreans now, but
could Illustrate the Security Coun-
Gil If the Communists start trou-
BILE anywhere else.
II a new Communist outbreak
occurs and the Russians block the
council by a veto, the West will
go promptly to the General As

Meanwhile, U. N. sources here
said a letter had been received
from the Russian delegation ask
ing the U. N. secretariat to speed
up Russian translations of all i'm
portant documents being issued
in connection with the agenda of
the fall meeting of the General
Assembly, to convene here Sep
tember 10. This was taken as an
indication the Russians definitely
plan to be on hand for the As
Sembly.
U. N. diplomats have waited
vainly this week for Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Jakob A. Malik
to show just why he returned to
the Security Council last Tuesday
after half-year boycott. He did
introduce yesterday 2-point
peace program for Korea. but the
view of some diplomats is that he
came back really to isolate the
United States from it's allies in
the U. N. However. they still are
waiting to be sure of the reason
for interrupting the boycott.
U. S. Position Outlined.
An American spokesman gave
this Sizeup today:
This country will continue to
oppose Mr.. Malik's attempt to in
vite the Communist North Koreans
to the Council table. Most men,
bers take the attitude that you
cannot discuss a settlement with a
f1rebug and that inviting the
North Koreans here to talk about
a peaceful settlement would be
like asking to tea man who had
burned down your front porch.
The issue beyond all doubt is
the refusal of the North Koreans
to obey the ease-fire and with

The judge. George B. Harris

Mrs. Bridges told reporters Tin

A crowd assembled at the rear
of the federal building to catch
a look at Bridges as deputies led
him to a car for the trip to the
county jail. There were shouts
of we're with you, we'll get you

An unidentified man ran up to
the car and shouted to Bridges:

Bridges flushed and started to-

Sparkman Calls
For Lumber and
Meat Controls
Congress Expected
To Act This Week
On Standby Bill
By Cecil HoIIond

Congress will return to work
Tuesday after a weekend breather
to wrestle with the problems Of
economic controls, increased taxes
and vastly expanded expenditures
for defense and foreign aid-all
brought on by the Korean situa-
ton and what this country views
as threat to world peace.
AS lawmakers took recess, it
was indicated:

in both the Senate and House to
give President Truman standby
economic controls with Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, of Alabama.

at once on such items as meat
and lumber once authority is

3. Senate and House appropri-
ationS committees pressed their
consideration Of President Tru-
mans request for an additional
S11.6 billion in defense funds and
for 81 billion more for foreign
military assistance.
4. Lawmakers expected that
even much more spending for de-
fense needs will be requested and
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, predicted that military
needs will boost spending to $50
or $40 billion a year with revenue
falling $40 billion or more short
of that mark.
Senator Sparkman suggested
that Mr.. Truman exercise stand
by control authority on such items
as meat and lumber, once the
authority is given, after the law
makers entered the week end in
wrangle over what economic
controls should be voted.
Controls Rejected at First.
The matter of controls was con-
sidered by the full House and by
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee last week and both at
first rejected the idea of standby
controls to be put in effect at the
discretion of the President.
But there were indications that
both Senate and House sentiment
was changing after the idea Of
giving the President authority to
use controls if prices increased by
as much as or 6 per cent was
abandoned.
The House will resume consid-

held in violation of the Taft

down a non-union mine during

The alleged violation of the

July after Mr.. Leiws had ordered
the industry on a three-day week.
Evidence att he NLRB hearing
indicated that a motor cavalcade
of about 500 men called at the
Bitner properties and forced the
management to observe the three

there did not belong to the union.

found the union guilty of illegal
mass-picketing. use of physical
force, threats of bodily harm, in
timidation. damage to property
and outright assaults on nom
union workers.
The union claimed the 500 men
called at the mine property for
