Tin Can Restrictions
May Follow Talks

National Production Authority
officials met today with represent.
atives of the tinplate industry ir
the first of a series of conferences
expected to result in cutbacks ir
the use of tin cans for some prod.
ucts.
Manly Fleischmann, Defense
Production administrator, said that
since tinplate makers are the bic
consumers of scarce tin, conserva-
|tion of the metal could be expected
in that area. The need for saving
was stressed last week when Mr.
Fleischmann announced discon-
Itinuance Of stockpiling of tin to
try to force down high prices de-
|manded by foreign producers. He
said at that time that NPA would
take steps to bring about reduced
tin consumption.
Tin allotments for the first
quarter OF next year are expected
to depend on decisions to be made
at the conferences begun today
1t is expected there will be little
disturbance in the use of cans for
packing foods and food products
Mr.. Fleishmann also said the
Justice Department has asked him
about the status of an applicant
for tax benefits for a SAC million
aluminium plant proposed to be
erected by the Anaconda Cope,
Mining Co. and the Harvey Ma
chine Co.. Kalispell, Mont.
Mr.. Fleishmann said he had
asked Justice for its views-pre.
sumably on whether the move to
put Anaconda in the aluminium in
dustry would be in violation OF
antitrust policies.

Communists Back Up
From Demands for
Immediate Cease-Fire
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

MUNSAN. Korea. Nov. 15.-Ths
Communists today abandoned
their insistence on an immediate
cease-fire in Korea.
The reversal came after Maj
Gen. Henry I. Hodes. chief of the
United Nations cease-f1re SUBJ
committee, accused the Reds ot
wanting to substitute a lega,
clause in place of good faith"
Gen. Hodes called on the Com.
munists to work out a joint pro.
posal for settlement of the touchy
buffer zone dispute.
With this eliminated" he said
"Our (cease-flre) proposals would
be to all intents and purposes
identical. I propose that we for
|mulate a proposal on this basis.

The Red negotiators replied
they never had sought an end to
the fighting before a full armis-
Glce is SlgneQ.
Yesterday, however, the Reds
declared that a de facto cease fire
would be IAN unavoidable result
OF the agenda" and IAN indiSpens-
able part and inevitable conse-
quence Of the process of armistice
negotiations"
1t. Col. Howard S. Levie, act
ing spokesman for the U. N. COM
mand, said Communist negotiators
told Gen. Hodes their speeches
yesterday were entirely unneces-
sary because their Saturday pro-
posal spoke for ITSELF"
Atrocities Not Mentioned.
A U. N. command spokesman
said there was no mention alto
days negotiating session OF
charges Of prisoner of war atroci-
ties made yesterday by Col. James
M. Hanley, chief of the 9th Army's
War Crimes Section.
The spokesman, 1t. Comdr. ].
E. Bauernschmidt, said the only
reference to prisoners of war came
during a discussion on item four
Iof the armistice agenda. This
covers the exchange of war pris-
onerS.
Throughout the negotiations
the U. N. command has expressed
concern over the fate of Allied
troops captured by Communists
U. N. negotiators have insisted
that an exchange of prisoners be
arranged before a ceaSe-fire be-
comes effective.
Comdr. Bauernschmidt declined
to speculate as to whether dis
closure of charges of long secret
atrocities would have any effect
on the negotiations.
