Affecting Cairo; Other
Arabs Cool TO Egypt
By the Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 2.-British
Army headquarters denied today
Egyptian assertions that Britain
had clamped a partial blockade
on oil shipments from Suez Canal
ports to Cairo.
A headquarters spokesman at
Fayed said tanker trucks at times
had been halted temporarily to let
military conveys pass. but there
had been no ban on oil shipments.
While BritiSh-E Egyptian tension
continued. Egyptian rejection of
the proposed Middle East defense
pact met non-co-operation among
other Arab states and yelled criti-
cism from a Cairo paper which
opposes the government.

Fiery Interior Minister Fouad
Serag Ell Din claimed yesterday the
British had banned oil trucks from
canal zone roads and had stopped
rail shipments a week ago. Gaso-
line and kerosene reach Cairo by
pipeline, but Serag Ell Din asserted
Cairo soon would be starved of
heavy industrial fuels. This, he
said, might lead to troubles and
revolution"
Although he had said kerosene
shipments were not affected, Cairo
was full of rumorS of a kerosene
shortage. Customers besieged
horse-drawn fuel peddlers' carts
with clamors to have their empty
fuel cans filled. Police went with
the carts to keep order.

Britain Will Pay on U.S..
 Canada Loans

LONDON, Dec. 12-lR-Britain has decided to pay in full install- ments of capital and interest due on the United States and Canadian loans at the end of the year, an informed government source re- ported today.
 This country could have avoided paying the interest on both loans by invoking waiver clauses which were written into the 1946 agree ments. In view of it's economic plight, there had been speculation that it would do so.
 Britain is due to pay the Uni ted States S51.5 millions in capital and $87 million in interest on Dec. 31.
 It is supposed to pay the Ottawa government $14 million in Canadian dollars in capital and S23.7 million in interest on the same day.
 Britain owes the United States a total of S4,350 million-$3,750 million in new money made avail able under the September 1946 loan pact and $500 million in lend-lease pipeline aid.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12- R - Princess Pearl Ittigiah, six-year- Eskimo youngster from the Arctic Circle village of Minto scheduled a round of sightseeing and television appearances today as she waited for a chance to see President Tru- man.

 A spokesman said it was hoped that an appointment with the Pre- sident may be made for Friday.
 The little girl went to sleep while flying here from New York yesterday and had to be coaxed into a smile when asked by phO- tOgraphers to pose with a peti- ton she plans to present to Pre- sident Truman.
 The petition urges the President to make it possible for more milk, fruit and vegetables to be flown into Alaska.
 It also protests the Civil Aeron- autics Boards recent action revok- ing the permit of Air Transport Associates, Inc, an irregular air carrier operating between Seattle and the Territory.
 Tiny Pearl, the daughter of ar Eskimo chieftain of the Athabas- can tribe at Minto, Alaska, and her mother were clad in parkas and meccasins. They began their trip by dcgsled last Wednesday.
 Greeting them at the airport was Senator Gillette (D-Iowa), a member of the Senate Small Business committee which recently asked the Board to adopt policy of encouraging air travel to AL aska.
 He said today he favors the com- mittee continuing and broadening it's inquiry into the board.
 This is an important huinaili- tartan issue as well as question Of low-cost transportation and a dispute over whether we are go- ing to have a monopoly of the airways, he said in a statement.

LIN Loses 900
 Planes, Korea, Says Air Fore

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-tR-The Air Force says the United States and it's Allies in Korea have lost nearly 900 planes, while Communist losses as confirmed by the Air Force amount to 300 planes.
 Those totals included 317 non- combat Allied losses. But, the Air Force said, they did not include Red planes classed as probable" kills, or Red losses from non-com- bat causes.
 For that and other reasons, the Air Force said, the ratio of United Ntaions to Communist losses in the air was not as unfavorable as the annou1Jsd three-to-ctle figures made it seem.
 Other reasons the Air Force gave were:
 LIN planes have been in action since fighting started in Korea over 19 months ago, while the Commun- ists took to the air in significant numbers only in the last eight or nine months.
 LIN fliers make many low-level attacks in support of troops, risking heavy opposing fire from the ground, while Red fliers stay high

Alaska Ncll-Sched 10 Appeals Court En FigE1i for Life

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-lR-Air Transport Associates, Inc, which operates between Seattle and AL aska. carried its fight for life to the US Court of Appeals yesterday.
 In three separate petitions, the company's attorneys asked the court CD to review Civil Aeronautics Board order revoking the carriers permit, (2) to stay the order pend- ing a review, and (3) to grant an immediate hearing on the stay order.
 Air Transport, an irregular air line, has been directed by the board to go out of business Dec. 20. The order resulted, the board said, be- cause the carrier violated regula- tions by making too frequent trips. Irregular airlines are those operat- ing on no fixed schedules such as are maintained by some carriers.
 Attorney Warren Miller told re- porters that if the Appeals Court refuses to set aside, the boards or der, the company will take its case to the Supreme Court.
 He added, however, no hearing could be held before Dec. Is be- cause of the necessity of giving the board five days notice of the action.

Tax Scandals  President

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12 = R = Attorney General McGrath and FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover met with President Truman at the White House today amid indications the president will act soon to counter tax scandal testimony flooding from Capital Hill
 Both the White House and Jus tive Department press sections an- nounced the conference but neither would say what was discussed.
 Democratic Chairman Frank Mo- Kinney reported after a White House call yesterday that MT. Tru- man is angrily ready to clean house in the tax scandal
 Mckinney said the president
 was angry over being sold down
 the river by some disloyal em-
 pl0yees of the government"
 There has been speculation that Mir. Truman might name Hoover or some other big name individual to make a government-w wide investiga- tion or set up bipartisan com- to make an inquiry.
 Both the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Bureau have been rocked by the disclo- sures before a House committee Investigating tax irregularities.
 McGrath testified before the com- mittee yesterday and afterwards said he was refusing to comment any longer on whether he would resign. He had said previously he would not do so, despite demands from Republican Congressmen that he step out.

The W ashington Merry Go Round tCopy-,ght. 1851. by Bell Syndicate. Incl
 By DREW PEARSON

w ASHINGTON Long-view COP strategists aren't advertising it, but lot of them do not agree with the famed wisecrack of Illin- ois COP Committeeman Werner Schroeder, "the Republicans can even win if they nominate China man."
 Even in view of the current Tru- man tax scandals, many COP. leaders admit privately that there could be Democratic victory in 1852 if the Republican party gets overconfident. Here are three key factors on which they base this caution:
 l. New York went for Dewey by only 60,959 in 1948. Simultaneous ly Wallace carried over 500,000 votes. Normally the Wallace votes would have gone Democratic, which would have given a margin of about 450,000 to Truman.
 2. Pennsylvania went for Dewey in. 1948 by 149,771 with 55,000 votes for Wallace, thus making Deweys actual margin about 94,000. Mean while Pennsylvania has become

SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 12-tR-U.S. F-86 Sabre jet fighters today swept over northwest Korea but sighted none of the Communist MIG-15 jets that almost daily flock out of Manchuria.
 A US. Fifth Air Force summary said US. F-8O Shooting Star jet crashed and burned in Red terri tory with mo chance of pilot sur- vival." It gave no details.
 Doughboys in mist-draped hills across the. front held their fire as the twilight war continued.

 West of the Punchbowl, on the eastern front, one Red probing force of about two platoons was hurled back after brief skirmish.
 Elsewhere there was little to re- port except brief patrol contacts in no-man's-land.

Prisoner Swap Plan Snags
 Truce Talks

MUNSAN, Korea, Dec. 12-tR-A new Red plan for exchanging pri- soners of war and an Allied con- promise for supervising a Korean truce with neutral observers fell on cold shoulders today.
 The United Nations command expressed fears publicly for the first time that the Communists might not give up all the prisoners they hold.
 The fear was expressed in turn ing down five-point prisoner ex- change plan advanced today by Communis; negotiators at Pan-
 nunjom. The Red proposal still called for release of all prisoners. The LIN insists on a man-f0r- man exchange.
 The LIN command is concerned, ' an official communique said, that premature agreement on bulk ex- change of prisoners before adequate data is available could result in sizeable numbers not being recov- cred"
 Allied negotiators, the com munique added, "exc0riated the Communists for not letting the Red Cross see how prisoners are being treated and for refusing to say how many prisoners they hold and where.
 The Reds have said they would supply the information only after the Allies agree on a blanket ex- change. They kept this stand in their five point plan.
 The number of Allied troops in Red hands has been estimated at from 98,0O0 to 139,0oO. The LIN says t holds between 100000 and 135,- OO0 Chinese and North Korean Reds.
 The Reds said it would take them a month to deliver all pri- soners.
 Brig. Gen. William F. Nuckols, LIN spokesman, said "the ques- ton of prisoners of war is being held over our heads" to force what he called an undesirable solution of the prisoner and truce supervision problems.
 A LIN spokesman said the Allies made major compromises and con- sessions" in its new effort to break the 16-day deadlock over how to supervise the truce.
 Despite the strong words and the failure of negotiators to accept either plan advanced, the feeling persisted here that negotiators could still agree to an armistice before the December 27 deadline. If they sign on the dotted line by then, a cease-fire line already drawn will become effective. Otherwise a new line will have to be set,
