Two Women BaitIinq
For Utah House Seat
In BusinessIike Race
Democratic Candidate
Appears to Have Edge
Over Republican Rival
BY Gould Lincoln
Stor Stoff Correspondent

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. IL
For the first time in any congress
sional race anywhere the Demo-
cratic and Republican Parties have
pitted woman against woman-in
the I'd congressional district of
Utah.
And two, tall and charming ma
tive daughters of the State are
going about the business of CAM
paigning without hair-pulling
scandal-mongering or whispering
techniques. They are fighting it
out on issues, district, State and
national.
Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, the Re-
publican nominee, admittedly has
an uphill fight against her Demo-
cratic opponent. Mrs. Reva Beck
Bosone. Mrs. Bosone won cleo
ton to the House in 1948 for her
first term by $4,000 votes. That's
a majority not to be sneezed at.
Needs G. o. P. Swing.
It's true that the Republicans
carried the district in 1916 by
5000 votes, but in 1914, it was
Democratic by $4,000. 1t will re-
quire real Republican swing to
make Mrs. Priest a winner. In
fact. she has the toughest assign
ment of any of the three Repub-
licanS in this years race for Con-
gress-Wallace F. Bennett, candi-
date for Senator; Preston l..
Jones, candidate for the House in
the first district, and Mrs. Priest.
Mrs. Priest is going about the
job, however, in a thorough and
systematic manner. She is not
new to politics. She is Republi-
!can National Committeewoman
for Utah and has been for the
last four years. She became &C

The cat fanciers don't like the

The measure, passed here by the

on one adopted in nearby Tena-

Why three bells? The reasoning
is that cats, being pretty clever
when it comes to catching birds

CRESSKILL, N. j., Oct. IT,
Once upon a time, all the mice
got together and decided to hang
a bell on the cat.
The bell would tinkle when the
cat crept up on them and they
would be forewarned.
All the mice thought this was a
great idea. They applauded and
whistled and stamped their feet
and cheered.
Then a mouse asked, ''Who will
put the bell on the cat?"
Nobody answered.
But in Cresskill, the old fairy
tale has come true for the mice
Cats have to wear not one bell,

Confer on PACT Plan
By the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. II (PJ.-
American Delegate John Foster
Dulles and Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. Vishinsky privately
discussed an American-backed
anti-aggression plan for 40 min

Mr.. Dulles later told reporters:
"We talked over some of our
differences regarding the United

title of the anti-aggression plan)
There was full and frank ex-
change of views without positive
results, other than a better un-
derstanding of our respective posi-
tions."
1t was understood Mr.. Vishinsky
requested the meeting. He has
been attacking the anti-aggressior
plan, but has accompanied his re-
marks with somewhat indefinite
expressions of Soviet willingness
to cooperate with the West.
Both MI. Dulles and Mr.. Vishin-
sky were in a good humor when
they left their conference room.
The conference was attended by
MI. Vishinsky's deputy, Jacob A.

u. 5. Urges Naming
OF Civilian TO Rebuild
Korea Under u. N.
Rehabilitation Functions
Similar to MocArthur's
In MiIitory Sphere
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 1.-THE
United States proposed today that
the United Nations appoint a su-
preme civilian boss to direct Ko-
rea's multi-million dollar eco
nomic rebuilding.
He would be known as the U. N
"agent general" His functions
would be equivalent in the re-
habilitation Of Korea to those
Gen. Macarthur has exercised in
the military sphere.
The proposal is embodied in
an American resolution submitted
to the U. N. Economic and So
cial Council today by an Amer
ican representative Isador Lubin
No One I'm Mind for Job.
An American spokesman said
the United States has no one in
mind for the job, but there was
considerable speculation here that
the job might be offered to Gen.
Macarthur himself. The spokes-
man said he could not say wheth-
er the plan had been discussed
with the general.
Amid the talk of Gen. Mac
Arthur as a possible choice, how
ever, there was no indication of
how his present military status
might be reconciled with the an
nounced American idea of giving
the agent generalship a civilian
character.
The agent general would deal
only with rehabilitation and would
not have any authority over Ko-
rea's political future. That al
ready has been entrusted to an
other U. N. commission.
Independent Agency.
He would head a new organiza-
ton known as the Korean Reha-
bilitation Agency" you'd be COM
pletely independent of all other
United Nations commissions. and
would have complete control of
Korean economic rebuilding.
The only restriction on his au-
thority would be the necessity te
make periodic reports to the U. N
General Assembly. Since that
body will adjourn in December
and not meet again until the fal
of 1851, the agent general would
have at least a year of supreme
command.

and he woke up about 4 o'clock
and decided to kill her. He was
quoted as saying he choked his

has been given the National Park

The release of these impounded

Congress had knocked out SO
