during November of the 1850
housing boom, indicated by a
larger than seasonal drop of 10
per cent in the value of work on
new homes. Non-residential work,
however, increased. The total
value of all types of new construc-

total for November, 1949.
The over = all unemployment
figure went up because of a sea-
sonal drop in farm employment
by $4,000 to a November total
of 1851 900. Non-farm employ
ment rose 448,000 to 53,721,0 900

Only the Communists and a
few extreme rightist followers of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle finally
voted against Mr.. Pleven.
The Assembly also gave homage
to the courage and integrity of
Defense Minister Jules Moch. who
has been under heavy parliament
tary fire all week.
A vote was made necessary by
la Communist attempt to i'm
peach Mr.. Moch on the complaint
that he had tried to cover up an
army scandal involving the leak
of secret report on 1ndo- China,
where the French are fighting a
Communicated rebellion.
Pleven Silent on Trip Here.
To give last nights vote more
stature, Mr.. Plevin linked it with
the acceptance of 100 billion francs
(about $40 million) in new taxes
needed for rearmament.
In Washington, the White
House said there were no plans
for representatives of other gov
ernments to attend the Tuesday
meeting between the President
and Mr.. Attlee.
Mr.. Pleven took occasion last
night to repeat that French policy
is based on full support of United
Nations forces in Korea, but he
urged carefully calculated" de-
cisions on anything connected
with the atom bomb.
His statement reflected French
fears that United Nations permis-
sion to Gen. Macarthur to bomb
Communist China might be the
signal for World War III.

Greece and LuXembourg-forces
expected to involve little more than
token contributions.
The President did not mention
any more American units being
sent to Korea and members of
Congress who were briefed in ad-
vance of the Presidents message
on the world situation said they
we're Informed there are no Amer
lean reserves considered available
that could be sent to Gen. Mac
Arthur's hard-pressed United Ma
tions forces.
Military leaders have con-
isistently held to the opinion that
the United States should not
commit too great a part of its
strength in Korea in view of Com
munist threats in Europe. Many
members of Congress share this
view and Senator Fulbright,
Democrat. of Arkansas, a member
of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. summed it up in a COM
ment on the Presidents money
request:
If We must have war, Russia
will be our main enemy. I would
hate to see us waste our efforts
in that case against a Kremlin
stooge like the Chinese Com
munists."
Request Is Broken Down.
The Presidents request included
1908 100000 for guns, tanks and
other weapons for the Army: ST.
114,700,000 for planes and aircraft
equipment for the Air Force: ST.
553 100000 for food, clothing and
equipment for the Army; $807,-
100000 to construct facilities and
buy property for the Air Force;
S704, 100000 for Air Force opera
tons and maintenance and $707,-
100000 for weapons for the Navy
Urging immediate action on the
request, the President said:
These measures will put us in
a position to move speedily into
a increased state of mobilization
if the situation grows worse. If
the situation improves, we can
level off the size of forces and
the rate of production of military
goods as may be appropriate"
And he added:
I'm any case, we must be pre-
pared to endure long period
of tension"
COunterOffensive Uncertain.
The Presidents request and the
somber picture of the situation in
Korea and throughout the world
spurred congressional suggestions
that Gen. Macarthur, now striv-
ing to establish a defense line,
be given authority to bomb Chi
nese Communist supply lines in
Manchuria.
However, the opinion was that
such a decision would await the
conference between Mr.. Truman
and Prime Minister Attlee starting
here Tuesday.
Members of Congress said the
present strategy, as outlined to
them by military leaders, was for
Gen. Macarthur to consolidate a
defense line against the Chinese
Communists who were described
as outnumbering the United Ma
tions forces by perhaps five to one.
They said that as far as they
could learn there are no immediate
plans for a counteroffensive.

Police Of West Berlin
On Special Alert as
City Prepares 10 Vote
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-West Berlin's
strongly armed police force went
on a special alert today to guard
against threatened Communist
violence in the city election be-
ginning at midnight.
Police Chief Johannes Stumm,
with $4,000 men under his COM
mand. ordered motorized riot
squads concentrated at key sta
tions in the Allied sectors, as West
Berliners prepared to elect NUM-
cipal government for the next four
years.
Officials forecast scattered nui-
sance demonstrations by small
groups of Red agents. Police riot
squads were ready to handle them
with night sticks and, if necessary,
tear gas and fire hoses.
Thirty more Red agitators were
arrested during the night, raising
the weeks haul to 240.
Meanwhile, the Allies ordered
their personnel to stay away from
the polls tomorrow. or face stiff
penalties.
Polls to Be "Off Limits"
American, British and French
officials agreed that the polls
should be "off limits" to their
people to demonstrate by the alb
sence of Allied civilians or soldiers
that West Berlin has a genuinely
free election. They sought also to
forestall any outcry by the Eastern
Communists that the Western
voters were being coerced.
A special polling station in each
of West Berlin's IL districts will
be open from midnight until 7
am. because the Communists are
forcing nearly 100000 West Ber-
liners to work an extra shift in
Eastern industries during the
regular voting hours from 8 am.
to pm. Sunday.
Western officials also will pro-
vide extra ballots to West Ber-
liners who have been ordered by
their Red employers to hand over
their ballots as proof they boy
cotted the polls.
U. S. "War Policy" Hit.
The East German Reds, with
Russian support, are demanding
that Berliners refuse to vote, or
be branded followers of Ameri-
can war policy"
Since President Truman's dec
laration Friday, the Communists
have stepped up denunciation of
"the atom bomb election"
This will be the first election in
Berlin to be conducted entirely
by the Germans under their own
rules since the war. West Berlin
functions under an occupation
statute which grants that privi-
lege now.
In 1916 and 1948 voting was con-
Quoted under allied supervision"
as required by military govern
ment rule. In both these elections
Allied civilians supervised prep
arations and in some cases tie
actual balloting.
Reds Boycott Election.
The Communists have avoided
certain defeat in tomorrow's bal
loting by refusing to enter a ticket.
The Russians have indorsed this
refusal to participate in what
should be an all-Berlin election.
Eight Western parties are con-
testing for municipal offices in the
American, British and French
sectors.
Socialist Mayor Ernst Reuter-
won his seat in 1948 as his party
rolled up 81 per cent vote. With
the Soviet blockade in effect and
Berlin's fate under cloud, Mr..
Reuter- took the Christian Demo-
Gratis and the Free Democrats into
a coalition government to present
the strongest possible front against
the Communists.

On Truman Plea for

other $17,S50, 100000 for the coun-
try's expanding defense program
to help check what President
Truman described ''the impcrialist
designs of the Soviet Union"
Soon after the Presidents re-
quest for the supplemental defense
appropriation reached the Capitol
yesterday the House Appropria-
tions Committee began hearings
with Secretary of Defense Marshall
and Gen. Bradley, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as
witnesses.
The top defense officials. &C.
companied by several military
leaders. gave the committee an
overall picture of the tense inter-
national situation and the threat
to world peace brought about by
the mass Intervention of Chinese
Communist armies in the fighting
in Korea
The House hearings will be re-
sumed Monday with an appro-
priations subcommittee headed by
Representative Mahon, Democrat,
of Texas receiving detailed justi-
flcations for the defense funds
asked by Mr.. Truman. At the same
time the Senate Appropriations
Committee also will begin work on
the huge new defense appropri-
alton bill with a view toward
speeding its passage.
To-Day Hearing Expected.
Congressional leaders said they
expected 10 days of hearings and
possible passage of the measure by
December 81.
There was no inclination to trim
the Presidents request. Some
members, jolted by the grim pic
ture they received from President
Truman and the military leaders
of the reverses in Korea and their
implications in the international
situation, said they thought even
more money would be needed
later.
A member of the House COM
mittee, after hearing Gen. Mar
shall and Gen. Bradley, summed
up the congressional attitude by
saying:
Its a lot of money and it's
going to mean heavier taxes for
everybody, but we just can't take
any chances now"
The new funds would boost to
$42 billion the defense budget for
the fiscal year ending next June
30.
Is Not "War Budget"
In his message the President
said the Communist aggression in
Korea made it necessary "to raise
our sights" beyond the goal of
2.8 million men in the armed
services by next June. He ex-
planned that about 2,250,000 men
are now under arms and the addi-
tional funds being sought will
speed the expansion of the Army,
Navy and Air Force. ...9i-
The President emphasized, how
ever, the new appropriation re-
quest is mot a war budget"
That" he added, would OBJ
viously require far more money"
Of the total, s16.8 billions were
requested for the defense estab-
lishment and $1,050,000,000 for
the Atomic Energy Commission,
obviously to expand its work on
atomic weapons, including the
hydrogen bomb.
Military officials said the new
budget would provide an armed
strength of 2,771,121 men. They
gave the following figures COM
pairing the strength planned under
the new budget with the actual
men in arms last June 30:

village, massacre us, pillage and
burn our homes. The alarm spread,
and throughout the valley, settlers
took precautions against the Indians
by moving into town.
1 remember the day we went to
Missoula. 1t was the latter part of
July and a hot afternoon. We were
attending the Hell Gate school which
was still in session. The teacher was
nervous; we children were unable to
concentrate on the work before u.s.
Excited whispers of, ''Nez Perces!
Warpath! Scalping!". could be heard
all over the room. To most of us
students, even an Indian war was
preferable to poring over school
books on a warm summer day.
We Move 10 Town
About mid-afternoon Matthew
Coleman, a neighbor of ours, drove
up to the school house in a wagon
and asked for the Minesinger chill
dren. School was dismissed Eagerly
we climbed into the conveyance. and
Mr.. Coleman took us to town where
father had a house rented for us
on Front street.
While our parents gravely and
anxious1y went about their neces-
sary tasks, we youngsters found
thoughtless and amusing diversion
in tormenting the Chinese laundry
men.
Captain C. c. Rawn, who with
small force, was in command at
Fort Missoula was ordered to inter
cept the Nez Perces. Leaving about
20 men to guard the post, Captain
Rawn, with about so soldiers rein
forced by a hundred civilian Volun-
teers, marched up to Lo Lo canyon.
My father was one of the volunteers.
A breastworks, which because of
its failure to stop the Indians, later
became known as Fort Fizzle,' was
hastily thrown up at the eastern end
of the pass. Thus, fortifying them
selves, the army, and the volunteers
in a camp below them, waited to
stop the belligerents. 81
Father Scouts Alone
While waiting at Lo Lo creek
father decided to do some scouting
on his own account. His companions
warned him against the danger OF
being alone in the densely wooded
region, but his years of experience
with the Redmen motivated his ac-
tions and he was not mistaken in his
red brethen.

dark timber he made his way III

WE MONTANANS HAD scarcely
recovered from the shocking events
of the Custer massacre of 1876, when
rumors of another Indian uprising
came to us. It was the summer of
1877, and this time the Nez Perces',
an Idaho tribe, were on the war
path.
Northern Idaho and northeastern
Oregon had been the ages old home
of the Nez Perce people. Always,
they had been friendly with the
white man. But the increasing sale
of their hunting grounds and the
governments request that they give
up their ancestral lands in the Wal
Iowa valley and take up their abode
on the Lapwai reservation in Idaho
caused greatest resentment among
them.
Chief Joseph, the leader of the
Wallowa valley band, finally con-
sented to move his people, if first
they were permitted to roundup
their livestock. General o. o. How
ard, who was in charge of Indian
affairs in that section, had no pa
tience with and little understanding
of the Indians. He gave them only
month in which to gather their
cattle and horses. Besides this, he
jailed the chief medicine man, Too
hul-hul-suit.

Blunders Stir Braves

These unwise acts fired the wrath
of the young braves and they began
plundering the Wallowa valley
homes. They also killed some of the
settlers and stole their livestock.
Chief Joseph, who did not want war,
decided his people would be safe
only across the Canadian border.
So, under his leadership, a large
band of warriors, women and chill
dren, started for their chosen ref
uge.
