Nehru |rked by Plea
For Grain Sent 10 u. ).
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEW DELHI, Feb. 16.-Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru pub
licly chided 43 members of Par
lament today for cabling the
United States Congress an appeal
for grain.
President Truman has asked
Congress to authorize a gift to
India Of 2 million tons of grain
to avert q threat Of widespread
starvation. The grant is opposed
by some quarters in the United
States because of India's opposi-
ton in the United Nations to
United States policy on Korea.
The Prime Minister told the
House the cable, sent to Vice
President Barkley and House
Speaker Sam Rayburn. was "sent
with no reference to members OF
the government"
Members of Parliament, Mr.
Nehru continued. may send a mes
sage to any one they wish. but
confusion and embarrassment
could result for members to ad-
dress officials Of foreign govern
ments without consultation with
(India's) government and with
out consideration Of the larger
issues involved and Of India q

post liberation period. The arro-
gance of the men, they say, Is
overwhelming.
Problem Is Acute.
A complicating factor is added !:
During and after the last war.
Parisians appreciated that the
men had undergone hard combat
and were entitled to wide leeway
on their leaves. Now, however
the men are being obstreperous
without apparent excuse and
Parisians are not so easily in
clined to accept insults and deg
radiation.
The problem is an acute one. It
can hardly be resolved, in this cor
respondents opinion, by an indoc-
trination course which consists of
a pamphlet advising the troops to
adopt a modest attitude toward
the French. This kind of advice
gives the youthful American SOL
dier the secret idea that he is a
superior being, and this notion
grows in direct ratio to the amount
of drinks he has consumed.
Indoctrination on behavior
should begin, it would seem, with
basic training. This, too, may be
late. and may have to be enhanced
by stricter discipline than now OBJ
tains in American units stationed
in foreign lands. 1t will probably
require a generation of education
to the responsibilities of world
leadership before the rank and file
can learn instructive diplomacy
and respect for other nations.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Undaunted
by his defeat in an assault on
Britain's defense program. Win
ston Churchill returned to the
attack on the Labor government
today, filing his fifth motion of
censure within a month.
The Conservative leader, who
has vowed to strive day and
night without cessation" to top
|ple Prime Minister Attlee's gov
eminent and force new elections,
tied his latest broadside to the
governments costly African
ground nuts (peanuts) scheme.
In the unlikely event of a de-
feat on the issue, Mr.. Attlee might
or might not resign. He could
contend that no major measure
of confidence in his cabinet is
involved in such a motion.
1O2 Million Written OFF.
The original peanuts scheme
called for an outlay of f25 million
($70 millionD to get food fats from
plantations hewed out of the Tan
ganyika bush country. A total of
f36.5 million ($102 million) al
ready had been spent when the
Food Ministry, January 8. an
nounced it would ask Parliament
to write the money off as loss.
Mr.. Churchill's censure motion,
to be debated today, is an amend
ment to a government bill propos-
ing to place a smaller scale ex-
perimental peanuts project under
control of the Colonial Office. Mr..
Churchill demands rejection "in
view of the immense losses already
incurred"
The Labor government last
night survived, by surprising 81
vote edge, the eighth Conserva-
tive Party attempt in year to
drive it from Office. The test

Herriot Quits as Officer
OF Radical Socialist Party
By the As.ocio.ed Press

PARIS, Feb. 16.-Seventy-eight-
year-old Edouard Herriot, speaker
of the National Assembly, has quit
the presidency of the Radical
Socialist Party-a post he has held
for more than 80 years.
The resignation, dated yester-
day, was made known today. His
reason was not given.
1t is believed. however. that
the resignation was due to a
squabble within his middle of the
road party. One group charges
Mr.. Herriot with having been
too friendly with the Communists
in the past. Mr.. Herriot's friends
reply that their accusers are too
friendly with the followers of Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.

Truman Says Troops
Still Have Authority
ToCross 3Sth Parallel
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman says thai
Allied troops in Korea still have
the same United Nations authority
to cross the 38th Parallel tina
was exercised last year.
The question is one of military
strategy, and as such is in the
hands of Gen. Macarthur, Mr.
Truman told his news conference
late yesterday.
Mr.. Truman emphasized that
he does not interfere in military
matters, and while concedine
there are political aspects involved
in another crossing of the line, he
refused comment on" these.
British Want Limitation.
The British have been trying te
keep the Korean fighting a.
limited as possible. and Prime
Minister Attlee told the House o1
Commons Monday that U. N
forces should be kept south of the
dividing line until there Is "ful
consultation with the U. N"
(Since then, U. N. forces have
landed party of South
Korean marines at Wonsan, far
north of the old dividing line
between North and South
Korea.
(In Toxic, the Associated Press
reported officials at Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters expressed
qualification that Mr.. Truman
had cleared muddy waters"
concerning a military crossing
OF the parallel.
Key officers there said there
never had been any doubt of
that in the generals headquar-
tiers. The United Nations ap-
proved the first drive across
38 by Allied forces and this
directive has not been altered.)
Plans to Visit Aberdeen.
The President also announced
that he would go to the Aberdeen
(Md.) Proving Grounds for an in
spection trip Saturday.
Press Secretary Joseph Shor'
said today that the Presidep'
would give an informal talk at 6
luncheon in the enlisted mems
mess midway through his tour.
The secretary said that the press
party going with Mr.. Truman
would not be permitted to observe
some of the work with which he
will be familiarized.
He is leaving on a special train
over the Pennsylvania Railroad at
9:05 tomorrow morning and will
return tomorrow evening.
The President steered away from
controversy in yesterdays confer
ence. He made it clear that he
still supports Treasury Secretary
Snyder in the dispute with the
Federal Reserve Board over inter-
est rates, but said he had not seen
a letter repeatedly written to him
by Reserve Chairman McCabe.

To the east Of Chipyong. an
American-Dutch force stood off
massing Red forces above Wonju.
Some OF those Communists were
believed to have taken to the high
ridges in the southeast to threaten
Chechon. The Reds, had no ar
tillery support in their new threat.
But q menacing build-up Of
Chinese and Korean Red forces
was reported in the hills and val

A Chinese army corps consists

some 1000 Reds had forged the

Meanwhile the Office of Price
Sterilization issued an order
which it said would mean a roll
back of meat prices charged by
many packers-but it is not ex-
Ipected to affect the consumer.
Prices Vary in Areas.
The price Office said packers
they were unnamed-had charged
higher prices in some areas than
in others before the price freeze.
Since then, it was explained, the
prices in low areas have been
raised to the levels Of the high
price areas.
This was legal, but now is for
hidden and the packers have to
maintain the price scales on a
regional or city basis. This was
aimed at the meat packers par
ticularly but it also will apply to
other businesses which cannot ap-
ply the highest price charged in
one place to its prices throughout
the country.
The American Meat Institute
announced In Chicago that the
order would "help clarity" the
situation.

On the heels of this victory
the government disclosed today

submarines.
The information was contained
in defense spending estimates OF

The estimates are intended as a
basis for defense appropriations in
the fiscal year beginning April l
Labor kept It's ranks solid last
night despite earlier threats by
left-wing Laborites to bolt on the
arms issue. The vote on Mr.
Churchill's censure motion was
308 to 287.
Backed Go Slow Policy.
On the last four censure mo-
tions brought by the Conservative
opposition, the Liberal bloc voted
against the government. This
time they said displays OF part,
differences increased the danger
of war.
The left-wing Laborites, who
had urged go-slow policy on re-
armament for fear Of enraging the
Russians and increasing world
tensions, decided to stick with the
party rather than force a general
election that might put the Con-
servaties in power.
The 21-vote majority was the
second largest the Socialists have
obtained on a censure challenge
in the present House of Commons
1t surprised members on both sides
of the house. bringing a great
shout Of "oh' mingled with labor
cheers.
The Conservatives won a by
election in Bristol last night, re-
turning Labor's scanty margin OF
seats in the House of Commons
to seven. Sir Walter Monckton
Conservative, received 22,216 votes
to 5,072 for his Laborite rival
Harold Lawrence. The Laborite
la left-winger. opposed the gov
Iernment's arms program and was
Irepudiated by Mr.. Attlee. The
seat. usually held by Conserva-
Itives. was made vacant by the
death of Oliver Stanley, former
Colonial Secretary.
