over the agenda. Such a wrangle
could prevent the Council from
coming to grips with the Korean
issue this afternoon.
The United States will try to
prevent such a development. Por-
ter McKeever, spokesman for the
American delegation. told re-
porters last night the Council
must move ahead" and not allow
the Chinese Communists to so
time their arrival at Lake Success
as to impede the Councils work.
He added:
"The clear duty of the Council
is to do everything it can as rapidly
as it can to prevent the conflict in
Korea from spreading"
Three Back Resolution.
Informants said Britain, France
and Ecuador had joined the United
States in sponsorship of a Korean
resolution to be put before the
Council. The proposal was un-
derstood to include these main
points:
l.. A demand for withdrawal of
allen forces-Chinese Communists
fighting beside the North Korean
Reds.
2. A call on all nations to re-
frain from helping the North
Koreans.
3. A request for the United
Nations Korean Committee to
consider urgently all questions
connected with the North Korean
frontier.
The third point is designed to
take the wind out of any Chinese
Red claims that they intervened
in Korea because they feared in
vasion of Manchuria. Chinese
Communist units took up the fight
when Gen. MacArthur's troops
approached the border hydroelec-
trio system that serves Manchuria
as well as Korea.
Lull in U. N. Yesterday.
Observers believe final action on
the resolution probably will not
be taken until the Chinese Reds
have had chance to appear. On
Wednesday the Council invited
Mao Tze-tung's regime to send
representatives here. but it is not
known exactly when they will ar
rive.
There was a lull in the U. N. on
the Korean question yesterday.
Members of the American delega-
ton spent the day comforting with
the State Department and other
Council members on the resolu-
ton. Last night the United States,
Britain and France came forward
with the request that the Council
discuss Korea today.
Nationalist China's T. F. Tsiang
has served notice he will make a
strong attack on the Chinese Com
munists in the Council.

sociated Press reported that thou
sands of telephone employees were
honoring the picket lines. CWA
President Joseph A. Beirne called
the response effective" and "even
beyond expectations"
But the A. T. & T. said that
impairment to service. with the
exception Of some trouble spots,
was slight. Some sections of the
country reported long distance
service on an emergency basis.
Here. the telephone company
said, 100 per cent service was
maintained yesterday. It reported
that so per cent Of all employees
and 40 per cent of the operators
showed up at the picketed down.
town Offices.
The union claimed. on the other
hand. that only a handful of oper-
ators reported at these stations,
and that almost 100 per cent of
them refused to cross picket lines
today.
The hit-and-run picketing plan
was first introduced in Michigan,
where $4,000 Bell System employees
are striking in conjunction with
the 1900 Western Electric
workers throughout the country.
National headquarters for the
WE strikers explained:
Because of the peculiar nature
OF our industry, under certain
conditions where pickets are
widely scattered. it is more effec-
tive to picket a number of ex-
changes on scattered basis
rather than have a full-scale
walkout."
The picketing plan later spread
to Akron. Cincinnati and Kent,
Ohio.
Washington union officials said
they had heard of no plans to
Jam" telephone service by using
phones excessively. and said they
deplored such tactics. Rumors OF
jamming were heard elsewhere.
At Indianapolis long distance
calls were halted fora time yes
terday when receivers were left
off hooks after calls were made
from downtown pay stations.
This practice was halted when a
court order ended picketing in
indianapolis and South Bend,
Ind, as well as Little Rock, Ark.
In New York mediators made
another attempt today to settle
the dispute. The CWA is de-
manding substantial" increases
in wages now averaging $1.55 to
$1.62 an hour. The CWA also
wants a one-year agreement in

Allies DeadIocked
Over Relaxation Of
German Controls
By the Associoted Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, Nov.
10.-The Western Allies-particu-
larly the United States and France
ARE deadlocked over how to use
Western Germany's vast Ruhr in
dustrial valley for Western de-
tense.
Authoritative sources said today
that American, British and French
officials in Germany have failed to
agree in six weeks of negotiations
on how controls over West Ger
man steel production will be re-
laxed.S
The whole matter may be re-
ferred back to the three govern
ments, the sources said.
The Western foreign ministers
last September ordered the Allied
High Commission to allow the
Germans to produce steel over the
Allied ceiling of Ill million tons
annually. The extra steel would
be used for Western defense.
The high commission was to de-
termine what part of Germany's
steel output went for defense.
No Progress Made.
Since September Allied officials
In Germany have made no prog
ress on this decision, the sources
said.
Meanwhile. orders for West
German steel are pouring into
Ruhr plants from America and
Western Europe as the Western
rearmament program mounts. AL
lied authorities said production
already has scared to an annual
rate of 13 million tons-almost 2
million tons over the Allied CELL
ing.
But the Allied deadlock over
carrying out the foreign ministers
steel decision has left the Ger
mans in this predicament:
Will the steel now being pro-
duced for export to the West be
considered as a contribution to
Western defense? If it is not,
the Germans might have to cut
back production to keep under the
Allied production ceiling.
Authoritative sources here said
the deadlock on this point has
been caused by differences be-
tween America and France.
American Position.
The American position. the
sources said, is that any order for
steel from a Western nation
should be considered as defense
order. Under this formula. Ger
man steel going to American firms
for use in producing consumer
goods would be classified just as
German steel being used to pro-
duce tanks in America.
The French want the Allied |
Military Security Board to decide
whether each order for German
steel would be considered as
contribution to Western defense
or charged against the annual pro-
duction ceiling. the sources said.
The British have not accepted
eltner proposal ana have not come
forward with any proposal of their
own. it was said.
Allied officials said steel orders
now on hand total SIS million tons,
of which 1.9 million tons were for
export. 'Ruhr plants were said to
be shipping 1900 tons of steel
every week to America alone.
With the removal of bottlenecks,
German steel capacity could be
quickly expanded to 14.5 million
or IS million tons annually, Allied
authorities said. This would not
involve the building of any new
plants.

THE sun, warning of summer to
come soon, beat down on the
asphalt intersection. The littlest
girl clung tightly to Charley Peel's
hand, and looked up at him with
wide, awe-struck eyes. A half step
in front of him, as always, the girl
with pigtails looked back and
squealed, Look at Mister Charley.
He's got a gun, a real white
handled gum"
He threw back thin shoulders,
feeling the sun beat through his
buckskin shirt. Long ago he had
filed this shirt, but now it hung
loosely on him. and the white
handled gun in its holster hung as
heavy as his heart.
He shepherded the flock of chill
dren across the intersection to the
schoolyard, thinking that their
sudden awe at his costume ought
to make him feel good. Instead he
kept worrying about the boy called
Billy, and wondering what he
would think.

pie grew obsessed with little things.
Still, Billy thought he had lied.
"Su1ely that wGs important"
Thinking of getting old made
him think of being young again,
and he glanced up the street, no
longer seeing it as it was, but as it
had been.
Just up the street had stood the
blacksmith's shop and there John
Boone's store, where he had taken
a bullet in his side. Farther down,
the Hornet Saloon had lifted its
bawdy face to the street, and just
around the corner would be the
post he had put his back against
when the johnson gang tried to
rob the bank, and went down to
death with their guns blazing. For
an instant these places were alive.

ghosts of a colorful and bygone
day, and the jeering face of Billy
came back to his mind.

Billy had denied it, but if it had
been someone else, then it would

Do You Want 10 Cut
Your Federal Taxes?
Something For Nothing

You know that you can't keep
drawing money out of your bank
account without ever putting any
in. The bank doesn't play that way.
This is also true of Federal fnanc-
ing. Every dollar spent must
sooner or later be collected in the
form of taxes.
Many of these taxes are hidden,
such as the S2.44 you pay on q $40
radio, or the 62 cents on the
average alarm clock. These are In
addition to the direct taxes of
which the average citizen Is pain
fully aware.
Tax money is necessary to run
u government. But all too much
of it is wasted by inefficiency, dup
LEGATION Of effort, overlapping Of
Federal agencies or appropriations
for services to pressure groups.
Heretofore, no one has known
how much these government SER
vices cost US through waste and
inefficiency. But some surprising
facts have been revealed by the
Commission on the Organization Of
the Executive Branch Of the Gov
eminent. This twelve-man, BIZ
partisan Commission was created
by Congress with the approval Of
the President. At the suggestion
OF Mr.. Truman, former President
Hoover was made its Chairman.
The Army, Navy, and Air Force
asked for $50 billions Of appropria-
tions after being told that SIS bill
lions was all the Nation could
afford. The Army applied for $685.
600 tropical uniforms at 1929 apiece
and homes for military personnel
in Alaska at $5S,000 apiece. Yet
every dollar spent in such activities
comes out Of your pocket in the
form Of taxes.
Fifty Federal agencies jostle
each other collecting statistics at an
annual cost to you, the taxpayer,
Of $43, 000, 000. Many of the stats
tics are Of use only to small groups,

The Corps of Army Engineers
and the Bureau Of Reclamation are
expert at selling the something

public. Underestimation of costs
appears to be their speciality. The
original price tag put o n the

$44 millions. It's final cost was
