company's history, Morrison said
that a large share of the adj
vertising this year, as in the
past, will be apportioned to
newspapers.
1--WE believe newspapers fit
themselves to our distribution
system more efficiently than
any other medium" Morrison
said, "and therefore they have
again been selected to carry the
bulk of the Conoco advertising
impact"
The advertising will feature

Truman Signs Bill
Coverage
OF Social Security

President Truman today signed
legislation broadening the scope
of the Social Security Act and
providing old-age insurance for
about 10 million new beneficiaries
including farm help, domestics
and some self-employed.
The White House said Mr.. Tru-
man would have a statement later.
In this it was assumed that Mr..
Truman would discuss the contro-
versial Knowland amendment to
the unemployment compensation
law which the administration and
labor forces have opposed.
The amendment, sponsored by
Senator Knowland, Republican, of
California, curbs the power of the
Secretary of Labor to withhold
unemployment insurance funds
from States whose insurance sys-
tenn fails to meet minimum Fed
eral standards.
Objection by Labor.
Labor charged that the legis-
lation would make it possible for
a State to require workmen to
become strike breakers to save
their insurance rights. ~
The new law raises to As mil
lion the number of persons bene-
fitting from social security.
One important change will
apply the old-age insurance tax
to the first $500 of earned in
come rather than $4,000 as at
present.
Payment Is Matched.
Under this change a worker
now paying $45 a year under the
15 per cent levy will pay $54.
This payment is matched by the
employer.
The additional workers will
come under the old-age benefit
program and begin payroll taxes
January /. Persons now retired
will start getting bigger checks
this October.
The new law also more than
doubles payroll taxes over the
next 20 years. The payroll taxes
will increase from $2.5 billion this
year to about $7.8 billion in 1870.

Navy Experts 10 Study
Sunken Hospital Ship
For Salvage Value
BY the Associoied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28.-.
Navy salvage experts will recon-
mend whether the sunken hospi-
tai ship Benevolence should be re-
floated, or blasted.
The sunken hulk is on it's side
in rs feet of water and only two
miles offshore. II it is too dam
aged, it probably will be dyna
mited to clear the channel into
San Francisco harbor.
The mercy ship. recently de-
mothballed to bring home
wounded from Korea, was rammed
on her final test run by the
freighter Mary Luckenbach in
thick fog Friday evening.
13 Persons Still Missing.
Eighteen persons, including a
Navy nurse. were known dead
and 13 are missing. About oper-
ations by Coast Guard, Navy and
Army craft and some civilian
boats rescued 492 persons from
the fog-covered Pacific.
Aboard the Benevolence were
civilian technicians and Navy per-
sonnel. including Is. nurses.
The Navy salvage experts are
due today on the salvage ship
Viking, from San Diego. They
will take several days to determine
whether the hospital ship is worth
relocating. Their recommends
ton will go to the Bureau of Ships
in Washington.
Officer Tells IrOnic Story.
They also will search for bodies
possibly trapped in the sunken
ship. .
Both the Navy and Coast Guard
are investigating the ramming.
A Junior third officer of the
Benevolence, Anson Brown, today
related this ironic version of the
collision:
1t was caused by both ships
strictly observing ''the rules of the
road of navigation. One rule
states that ships shall pass port
to port Cleft side to left side).
The ships could have passed
starboard to starboard, Mr.. Brown
said, but were so close before they
sighted each other in the heavy
fog that there was not time to
cross bows. The freighter's bow
rammed the hospital ship, which
sank in 80 minutes.

Chinese Reds CHARGE.
OF Manchuria Raids
Denied by Air Force
BY the Associaied Press

TOKYO. Aug. 28.-The Chinese
Communists charged today that
American planes attacked three
Manchurian villages. The charge
was promptly and strongly denied
by a Far East Air Force spokes-
man.
Chou En-lai, Red China's for
eign minister, was reported by the
Peiping radio as protesting to Sec
retary Of State Acheson and ap-
pealing tc the United Nations for
"action" against the United
States.
The broadcast heard here said
three Manchurian villages near
the Korean border we're strafed
yesterday and that a -econnais-
sance mission was flown over
fourth town.
Flat Denial Issued.
The Air Force spokesman said
fatty: "No Air Force aircraft have
been over Manchuria.
He added that all American
crews are briefed carefully to
avoid any flights over that ter
ritory from which the Korean
Peninsula juts into the Sea Of
Japan.
A newly established regulation
against directly quoting military
Spokesmen was relaxed to permit
direct use Of the denial.
The Chinese Communist foreign
minister demanded that those
responsible" for the alleged at
tacks be punished and that the
United States pay damages.
Chou's demand was addressed to
Trygve Lie. UN cecretary-general.
8 Towns Named.
The Red radio quoted Chou's
message to Mr.. Acheson as say
ing American planes attacked
Antung, Linchtang and Tazufu.
These points are north OF and
along the Yalu River, boundary
between Korea and Manchuria.
Chou said also that two B-29s
flew over the Yalu. on a 10
minute reconnaissance in the
Chan area yesterday. The Air
Force spokesman said the north
ernmost bombing raid by B-29s
yesterday was an attack on the
Kyomipo iron and steel plant 20
miles southwest of Pyongyang,
North Korean capital.

France Opposes Idea
OF Preventive War

SETE, France, Aug. 28 (P.-
Defense Minister Jules Moch said
last night France is completely
opposed to the idea of a preven-
tive war as outlined Friday by
Navy Secretary Matthews.
Mr.. Moch said he regretted Mr..
Matthews statement and indi-
Gated he expects the Communists
to try to make an issue of them
Speaking bluntly, Mr.. Mocll
said.
An American cabinet member
contemplated with vigor which I
regret an idea that is not ours
that of preventive war.
Must I say that the French
government refuses in the most
formal manner to contemplate
any idea of this kind? For us it
is question Of making aggres-
sion impossible. thus to prevent
war and not to prevent war in
making war.
Such is also the unanimous
thought of the British govern
ment, the British Minister of Air
confirmed to me this morning.

Preventive War. Idea
Is AssaiIed by Jessup,
Answering Matthew'S
BY shs Asseeiused Press

A top level State Department
spokesman said last night that If
the United States opened war and
knocked out Russia with atomic
bombs the result would be to
create 'many new and terribly
difficult problems" in the world.
In a head-on attack against the
whole idea Of preventive war, Am
bassador Phillip Jessup gave what
amounts to State Department
reply to Navy Secretary Matthews
advice that the United States
should be willing to start a war
If necessary to compel co-opera-
ton for peace"
MIR. Jessup, one of Secretary of
State Acheso1l's most trusted ad-
visers. gave the State Department
stand in q radio interview.
''War mot Inevitable"
In the interview, Mr.. Jessup was
asked whether war was inevitable
and whether, as some people say.
the United States should not "set-
tie the whole thing right now by
dropping atomic bombs on Mos
cow"
Mr.. Jessup replied that "The
threat of war is a serious one, {"
but said war is not inevitable and
that the free nations may be able
to maintain peace If they make
themselves so strong that aggres-
sor nations will not be tempted to
strike.
Responsible and mature citi-
zens realize, I am sure" Mr.. Jes-
sup said. that the destruction of
war Is so catastrophe, that no
stone must be left unturned in the
effort to maintain our security
and our highest values by peace
full means. It is my faith, and
the conviction Of our Government,
that this can be done, If the free
men Of the world are determined
to do it."
Problems Are Cited,
Then specifically on the idea of
an atomic attack on Russia, Jes-
sup had this to say:
Dropping atomic bombs on the
Soviet Union now is not the way
we act; it is not the way America
does things.
But do not see how any one
can believe that, even if our
conscience permitted us to precipi-
tate a war by dropping atomic
bombs now, we would be any bet
ter off than we are. Such an
action would not only not solve
any problems, it would create
many new and terribly difficult
problems.
Even if such an action were
to be successful in knocking out
the Soviet Union. it would leave
occupation and reconstruction
problems Of such complexity as
to make our present postwar prob
lens look like child's play. And
we would have sacrificed the re-
spect and support of other ma
tions."

Tax Raises, Curbs on
Spending and Credit
BY MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

~y sStStSSbt @&Vu60tuGs
The Committee for Economic
Development today proposed
sharp" increases in taxes and
curtailment of consumer credit
and non-military Govern ment
spending to ward off imitation.
But at the same time, the ma
tional study group, composed of
business leaders. turned thumbs
down on wage, price and ration
ing controls at. this time.
The committees position was
outlined in a report titled ECO
nomic Policy for Rearmament." "
The report was released as Sen
ate and Houes conferees on the
administrations economic con-
troi bill prepared to meet tomor-
row again for a fresh try at IRON
ing out differences in the House
and Senate versions.
Proposals Specified.
The committee asserted that
the task of combating initiation
glowing out of the Korean war is
"very big and should be met
promptly. It made these specific
proposals:
l. Curtail non-military Govern
ment spending as much as possible
and achieve the greatest possible
efficiency and coordination in
military procurement.
2. Raise taxes at all income
levels, so that as the military pro-
gram absorbs production, taxes
will withdraw income from private
hands.
3. Launch major Savings
Bond drive before Thanksgiving
so that the public may support
the military effort by sensible
management Of their private
finances.
4. Sell more bonds outside the
banking system and reduce the
supply of money.
Credit Curbs Sought.
5. Restrict credit to curtail de-
mands for consumer durable
goods. housing, business plant
equipment and inventories.
THE steps taken must be
prompt and powerful, with
special emphasis upon the areas
in which military demands are
greatest" the committee declared.
The CED estimated that total
defense spending a year from now
may rise to rate of $50 to $35
billion annually. But it insisted
that stringent controls at this
time would be putting the eco
nomy in a "straightjacket."
It proposed that leaders of busi-
ness. finance, labor and the pub
lie join in a voluntary program
of self restraint"
Meanwhile, the conferees on the
control bill predicted a solution
of their differences. The issue Is
whether to give President Tru-
man an almost free hand to i'm
pose wage price rationing con-
troiS.
