DETROIT. Oct. Five minor
officers of CIO-United Auto Work
elS Ford Local 600, the worlds
largest local union, go on trial

unionists on charges of following
the Communist Party line.
The trial will be the first of it's
kind in the turbulent 14-year his
tory of the UAW. marked until
recently by almost constant right
wing-left wing battles.
Carl Stellato, right-wing local
president backed by Walter Reu-
then, UAW international presi-
dent, preferred the charges.
If found guilty, the five would
be barred from holding Office and
theoretically could be expelled
from the union.

son Davis, John Gallo, Dave
Moore and Paul Boatin. All are
officers in units making up the
65,000-member local and members
of the locals general council,

LAWMAKERS
DEAL With
EMERGENCY
Congress Works on Rd-
tioning Control, Anti
boarding Measures

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-tR-The
Senate banking committee today
approved, IL to l, the general policy
of granting President Truman
standby power to put on wage,
price and rationing controls.
Chairman Maybank (D-SC) told
reporters the committee had taken
no action yet on any specific bill
I'VE just approved the general
principle" Mayhank said.
The vote means, however, that
standby wage-price controls will be
in the bill finally approved by
the committee unless there is a
compete reversal of sentiment.
The group is hammering together
bill and has voted for prison
sentences and up to $4,000 fines
for hoarders and black marketeers.
In the House, administration men
offered new bill wrapping up the
powers President Truman has asked
plus standby wage and price con-
troll authority.
Then they discovered that six
lines had been omitted in the
printed version.
Voting Delayed
Republican leaders and some
Democrats demanded that all vot-
ing be put off until tomorrow 1t
was agreed then to take votes to-
morrow on amendments to the bill
but delay final vote on the fin
ished version until Friday.
Democratic leaders put before the
House substitute for the admfii-
istration's original ALLEGATIONS and
credit control measure. The new
bill would give Mr.. Truman power
to slap ceilings on wages and roll
prices back to the levels of the
May 24-June "a period.
The. new bill also would allow
the President to order rationing.
Republicans, rallying behind a
bill of their own, protested the
last-minute introduction of new
administration measure. The COP
bill also would provide for standby
wage and price controls.
Other Emergency Action
In other actions today:
/. President Truman sent the
Senate financing committee a letter
asking it to hurry up consideration
of a bill to increase taxes by
S., 900 100000.

at news conference, opposed the

SPECULATION IS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1-iR-Sec-
rotary of Agriculture Brannan to-
day accused proficient spectators
in farm and food products of try
ing to cash in even at the expense
of the nations economy and war
effort. ~ s.
Such trading on the nations
futures market, by considerable"
number of spectators, Brannan
said, has contributed to recent
sharp price advances. He called
the speculation excessive and I'M
restrained" and said it is threaten
ing the country's economic stability
and the war effort.
1t is obvious, he said in formal
statement, that some means must

U. 5. on Korea,
u. n. Question

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug.s2 - Up =
Britain supported the United States
oday in demanding that the ques-
ton of seating Red China be
pushed aside and that the Korean
conflict be given TOP priority in
United Nations deliberations.
Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb called
the Korean question the "gravest
md most important ever to con-
front the United Nations"
Jebb spoke as the 11-nation
Security Council resumed debate on
whether it should act first on
Russia's move to seat the Chinese
Communists or on the Korean
conflict.
The British delegate said he well
coined Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Jakob A. Malik back to the
council after mis- seven-month boy
colt. He expressed hope this meant
Russia was now ready to cooperate
with the other nations.
The council convened at PIP
pm. EST
The specific issue was adoption
Of an agenda. Russia's Jakob A.
Malik, as August President of the
council, wanted Korea considered
second, under the heading peace
Jul settlement of the Korean ques-
tion," after disposal of the Chinese
issue. Warren r. Austin, chief
U. S. delegate, insisted the agenda
be confined to a single item, "a
complaint of aggression upon the
Republic of Korea" Malik refused
yesterday to withdraw or revise
MS own draft, but was willing to
make the U. S. version an additional
item.
That was where the matter stood
when the council adjourned last
night, after defeating 8-3 Malis. y
attempt to unseat the Chinese Ma
tionalist delegation by a presiden-
tial ruling.

SHORTAGE OF men,
L0NG5HoRE WORK,
DELAYING LOADING

SEATTLE, Aug. 2-tR-A shortage
of longshore gangs is slowing the
departure of private ships from
the Seattle waterfront, ship owners
said here.
The Alaska Steamship Company
said it was Is gangs short last night
and expected similar scarcity of
help today. There are 10 men to a
gang.
Another company serving Alaska,
Coastwise Line. said it has had two
freighter sailing delays of three to
five days each since the emergency.
Matson Navigation Company's
steamer Hawaiian Planter is two
days behind in its loading schedule.
Back of the delay, ship owners
said. are military ship loadings
which have a priority on all avail
able dock workers. Even there, how
ever, some delays have been re-
ported.
Art Olsen, Secretary Treasurer of
Local 10, International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's Union
(CIO), said he expected the shortage
to last another week. BY then, he
said, several hundred new men
screened by the union will have been
cleared by the military and given
work passes.
Its chiefly a problem of setting
up the machinery to supply we'll
balanced gangs" Olsen said. "This
means that each gang of new men
must have sufficient experienced
men to make an efficient and safe
unit"

PLANE OVER KUMCHON, Korea
Aug. 2 - ZAP - Leaping towers OF
orange flame are burning out the
heart of ancient Kumchon tonight
as invading North Korean Reds
storm into one end of the city and
American troops pull out the other.
Capture of this vital rail and road
center puts the swarming North Ko-
reans within 30 miles of Taegu
vital highway and rail junction, and
only 80 air miles from the main
American supply port of Pusan.
1t is now 8:18 pm. (518 am.
EST and American engineers have
just blown up both spans of a rail-
way bridge on the eastern side OF
the Kachon river, a tributary OF
the Naktong.
Kumchon itself lies on the west
ern side of the stream and it is
llhC having oCdb LII llCli
to see it from plane circling at
500 feet. The entire western water
front is burning-about 500 yards OF
more of solid flame and billowing
black smoke.
The red and orange tongues lick
skyward at least 100 feet. In the
northeast quarter of the city an
other area erupts like vast fur
mace door suddenly opened.
AS the spans of the railway bridge
explode in a cloud of gray dust and
drop heavily into the water, an
American vehicle speeds out of the
murky pile of the city. 1t rolls swiftly
across an adjoining highway bridge
to safety.
Kumchon is only another of the
many cities that have fallen to the
Communists in the last few days
as the big Red fist has squeezed
tighter in a desperate grab for an
immediate victory

WASHINGTON - A new super
tank will soon be ready for Korean
action, that is the fastest dead
Hest, and best-armored in the
world.
Military leaders say it represents
as great an advance in ground
attack as the jet plane in the air.
They also predict it will be vastly
superior to the massive Russian
tanks being used by the North
Koreans.
This information was given to a
closed-door meeting of the House
armed services committee by Gen
j. Lawton Collins, Army Chief OF
Staff.
General Collins testified that the
tank, already in production, will
outspeed and outmaneuver any en-
envy tank it comes up against.
Furthermore, it will not only be
equipped with weapons capable of
destroying any other tank" in
Guiding the Russian Goliath, Col
Inns told the committee, but it will
have better armor to resist enemy
fire.
I'm all departments, it is by far
the best tank ever produced Col
Inns declared.
Somewhat smaller than the Rus
sian opposite number, it also is
less expensive to build, the chief
OF staff added.
