The disclosure was made in the General Assembly's Donation Polit- ical Committee by Lester B. Pearson of Canada, member of the three man truce body.
 Pearson read cable, which the group had sent to Peiping last Sat- urday. The cease-fire committee of fered to meet Chou either in Pei ping or at any other place desig- mated by him.

 We want to meet you at your earliest convenience to discuss cease-fire arrangements, either here or elsewhere" the telegram said.
 Pearson asked the Political Com nittee to bear with the cease fire group a little longer while it con ;inues it's efforts.

 Rau, accompanied by the Jam Saheb, Maharajah of Nawanagar dined with Wu just three hours after the Chinese Communists had denounced the UN.'s plan for a cease fire in Korea as an American trap to get breathing spell for a military build up.
 Wu also told damned press con- ference at Lake Success that his government might be willing to advise it's so-called volunteers in Korea to come home, but indicated this would only be done after com olete surrender by the LIN. to all Chinese Communist demands in Asia.
 These include LIN. membership, withdrawal of American troops from Korea and the Seventh Fleet from Formosa, and the surrender of Chiang Kai-Shek's last-ditch is land stronghold to the Reds.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 - R = A request that business and workers voluntarily freeze all prices and wages shaped up today as the gov ernment's probable next move in fighting the imitation fired by mounting defense spending.
 Officials who asked not to be named said such step was con- templated within a few days by Alan Valentine, head of the Economic Stabilization Authority (ESA.
 As they outlined it, the request would be that business, unions and he public adhere voluntarily to the prices and wages which existed or Dec. 1 or some other recent date.

TRUMANT TO
 STICK BY
 SECY. STATE
Defies COP Attempts 10 0ust Aeheson-S Sympathy
 for Underdog Sought

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS - R - Democratic leaders counted today on American sympathy for the un- derdog in attempts to rally support for Secretary of State Acheson in the face of formal COP demands for his custer.
 Two influential Democratic Sen ators who didn't want to be quoted by name told reporters they think public reaction to the Republican stand may help solidify support for Acheson if he stays on.
 One high administration author ity who asked not to be named said President Truman is absolutely de- termined" to stick by Acheson and has no intention of yielding to the Republican groups in both the Sen ate and the House which voted last Friday their belief that Acheson has lost the confidence of the country and should be replaced.
 On the other hand, there were reports circulating in Congress of a possible triple-play move by Presi- dent Truman to quiet the COP op- position.
 These reports-and they weren't vouched for by anyone in authority were to the effect that if Ache son quits MT. Truman might ask Chief Justice Fred Vinson to leave the Supreme Court and take over the State portfolio.
 If this happened, it was said At torney General McGrath might be in line for a court appointment and Clark Clifford, former Presi- dential legal adviser. now in private practice here, for Attorney General

 R0LL-BA(k I5 GOVT. ORDER

DETROIT, Dec. 18--tR-Automo- bile prices will be rolled back on government order-but only over strong objections from both car makers and labor.
 Both factions in the big auto in- dustry have labelled unfair" the economic stabilization agencys Sat- urday order to push back cal prices to the Dec. l level.
 Nevertheless, General Motors Corp, the Ford Motor Co.,, and Nash Motors, three of the firms that boosted prices this month, said yesterday they would comply. GM's Cadillac Division withdrew sched- uled price increase announcement
 One spokesman for the auto in- dustry said of the rollback order They are taking advantage of the auto industry" A GM official called the move "paently discriminatory"
 This view got staunch support from Walter P. Reuther, President of the CIO United Auto Workers and often a bitter foe of the auto producers policies.
 Reuther said he opposed pin point price control that is discrim- inatory and does not get to the basic causes of spiraling costs of living"

EARLY MORN SEARCH.
 FUTILE; LOST PARTY FIN TOWN ASLEEP

Members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department went out on a fu- tile searching party up the Perse- verance Mine road for Mrs. Flor ence Hubbard at this morning to find that she had come back .to town shortly before midnight.
 Mrs. Hubbard and John Moore went to get Christmas trees about noon yesterday up the Basin road They took a pack loaded with sleep ing bags and food and also had a Japanese .25 rifle and 22 rifle. About a mile up the Perseverance road and directly opposite the Alaska Juneau Mine property, they sat down to eat their lunch about in the afternoon.
 An argument ensued and, ac- cording to Mrs. Hubbard, Moore threatened to shoot her. She be- came frightened and headed for the Al property. Moore followed her for about 100 feet down the steep grade from tracks left in the snow by the pair.
 Moore hung around the area, as near as can be determined, until late in the evening There are two conflicting stories about his return to town. Both stories were told by Moore, His return, according to him, was that he fell in a creek getting his clothing wet after he had "blacked out" He then was sup posed to have headed back into town arriving here about 2:15 this morn ing, going immediately to the Cas- tineau Hoel.
 The other story ne tells is that he returned to town immediately and slept for five hours. Upon walk Ing, he reported Mrs. Hibbard's s disappearance to the police at 2:15 am. The 2-9 fire call was sounded at 3:10 for the firemen to assemble at the fire hall. A wrong call of 2-3 was given a few moments later.
 At 4 this morning the searchers, numbering about 20, went up the Basin Road. The Japanese rifle was found but the smaller calibered rifle was not found at the scene of the argument. The searchers con- tinued about another threa-fcurths of mile up the Perseverance mine road without finding any traces of Mrs. Hubbard.
 Her tracks led to the bridge over the creek to the Al property. Mrs Hubbard stated this morning that she had found F. N. Schindler guard at the mine, and had asked directions back to town.
 Instead of going home, Mrs Hib- bard stayed all night with friend of hers, not knowing a search Was in progress for her. The searchers returned to town about 5:30 this morning. When it was discovered that Mrs. Hubbard was in town, tht proposed search later this mornine was called off.
 Moore is to be questioned further this afternoon by the police.
