Soviefs Sill Demand veio In Arms Plan

PARIS, Nov. 16-lR-Soviet Rus sia presented as new proposal to- day four-point disarmament plan but insisted again that international control be vested in the United Nations Security Council, where the U.S.SR. has the veto power.
 The Soviet plan, proposed in a second opening" address by Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky. would have the LIN. proclaim the prohibit ton of atomic weapons, require a quick count of all weapons includ- ing the atomic, and require the Big Four and Red China to slash arma- ments by third within a year.
 vishinsky's tone was far milder
 today than when he first spoke last week, suggesting to some westerners that he may have heard from home about the way he 'laughed' at the western disarm- ament plan.
 Vishinsky submitted his plan as supplementary to the one he intro duced a week ago in his original opening speech, but apparently to- days version fully supersedes the first Despite the notifications, the plan still contained all the major provisions which have stood in the way of agreement since the atomic discussions first began in 1946.
 Speaking for the west, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman took the floor immediately after Yishinsky, and said he would wait for a complete study of the new Soviet proposals before comment ing on them. France was one of the proposers of the vests dis armament plan which calls for foolprsof checks.
 LIN Secretary General Trygve Lie following Schuman to the rostrum, urged an immediate start toward a stop -by-step solution of the political conflicts that divide the world to- dry. He suggested that the foreign ministers of the great powers get sether while they are in Paris and make a beginning.
 US. Secretary of State Dean Acheson said of Vishinsky's new proposals:
 "The only encouragement we can derive from MT. Vishinsky's second thoughts is that he decided to stop laughing and admitted he had now read the tripartite proposals. But he offered us no encouragement of serious cooperation to get on with the real reduction of arms"

Words of LiftIe Chinese Girl Become Official Thanksgiving Day Proclamation for Rhode Island

PROVIDENCE, RI, Nov. l6-iR-- A little Chinese girl wrote what was in her heart and today her com position was issued as the official Thanksgiving Day proclamation of historic Rhode Island.
 The document bore the signature of Gov Dennis J. Roberts, but the words were those of Roberta Fong. IT. winner of a statewide high school competition for the honor.
 Roberta's ancestors were not May flower passengers. but this is what she wrote:
 More than 300 years ago. our Pilgrim forefathers invited the h. dians to join them in day of celebration on which they would thank God for His goodness to them in their new home. We remember that the Indians brought gifts to the white mans table; and that warriors and Pilgrims sat side by side in peace. We know that this was the first Thanksgiving Day; day which has since become a national holiday.
 Though our way of life today little resembles that of our ances- tors, We still feel in our hearts the same gratitude to Our Lord. Soon we shall celebrate another Thanks giving Day Across the nation, fam flies will bow their heads in rev. erence and thank God for His infinite goodness. Particularly in these times of unrest and suffering, we shall realize how many reasons we have to be thankful.
 Here in America we enjoy the privileges and rights which have elevated our standard of living to the highest in the world. As we observe Thanksgiving this year, let us remember the principles on which this day was founded. May it be day of prayer, praise and thankfulness."
 Roberta's father, an army vet eran, is an aviation mechanics stu- dent under the CT bill. Her mother is restaurant employee.

Front Line
 Troops Learn Of Atrocities

TOKYO, Nov. 16-R-Americar front line troops in Korea were tolc today the Reds have slaughtered $500 of their captured buddies.
 The armed forces radio broadcast for the first time the figures Col James M Hanley announced We'd nesday "so the GIs will know what they are up against" Hanley is the center of an army investigation because he announced the totals. The colonel said he re- leased them so front line troops wouldn't be fooled by Red propa- ganda.
 The armed forces radio earlier was silent on the subject while the rest of the world heard and was shocked. The radio began beaming the story at intervals of several hours. s
 Maj. Edward l.. TidweIl, chief
 of the Far East network, explained the delay: "There were too many
 unknown quantities. When we
 could finally pin things down,
 we let it go."
 The Army newspaper Stars anc Stripes carried the story in its Ko- rean editions both Thursday anc Friday, the supervising officer re- ported.
 Hanley said the reason he com piled and released the figures was
 for the information of American
 front line troops.
 The announcement caught the
 military by surprise - from the US. Eighth Army in Korea to the
 Pentagon in Washington. South Korean government off, cials said today there was nothing new in the atrocity figures. 'They were not surprise" gov- ernment spokesman Clarence Ryet said at Pusan, where Hanley made his disclosure Wednesday. "There is nothing wrong about disclosing facts of the Communists acts al any time"
 To Investigate Details l, Gen. Matthew B. f3idgwsiy, ou. preme Allied Commander, sent hi press information officer to Kores to investigate the details of tht disclosure, and the figures them. selves.
 In Washington U. s. Senatorl said they were puzzled that toI military and government official! expressed surprise over the report.
 Senator Young (R-ND), wondered out loud whether the administra. ton was trying to minimize tht tragedies of the Korea war. would think anything as important as that would find our top level! officially informed"

Fish Hearing Ends with Few Fireworks

Various factions at the annual Fish and Wildlife Service hear ing yesterday at the Federal build- ing were keeping their powder dry and although fuses sputtered dur ing the hearing the threatened eX- plosions did not come.
 About half of the crowd present was made up of persons from out side of the Gastineau Channel area Although the hearing was to discuss proposed changes in commercial fishing regulations for next season, local fishermen appeared to have taken little interest in the proceed ings.
 Clarence Rhode, regional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service who acted as chairman for the hearing expressed his disappointment in the small number of local fishermen which attended.
 During the morning session, spor- adic outbursts condemning various phases of trap fishing and insinua- tions that the FWS was prejudiced in the forming of it's regulations in- dicated some heated, if warmed over arguments were to he heard.
 Few independent fishermen were making their opinions known, and the others weren't going to open up unless they were forced to-" one FWS man said after the hearing.
 Trap Leads
 Yesterdays morning session was taken up largely with discussions concerning a proposal requiring an opening in trap leads during times when the traps are closed. This brought the most interest of any one question of the hearing, and many witnesses, independent fish, ermen and Alaskan Salmon Industry representatives, approved and con- demned the proposal. Another pro- posal, concerning the abolition ot set nets in Southeast Alaska, also brought its share of argument ir the morning session.
 Andy Barlow, executive secretary for the United Irollers. of Alaska was the first to speak in the after noon session. He took the Fish ano Wildlife Service men by evident sur prise in saying that his group 1T general agreed with the new pro- posals.
 We trollers are contented lot on the whole" he stated. Then smll- ing at the audience, he added, T might suggest that if all these gentlemen here caught their fish on hook, there might not be SC many problems.
 He said although many of the fishermen present had gone on re- cord as opposing traps, the propo- sals concerned the opening of the lead on the traps, not the question of whether there should or should not be traps. Barlow suggested that instead of continued argument, whether fish do or do not gather along a trap lead when the trap is closed, the FWS put out test

Community Chest Campaign

October is the month when all
citizens contribute to the social
and welfare needs of the Sd agen'
cies which receive operating ex-
penses from the Community Chest.
The Urban League of Portland is
one of these 81 agencies, receiving
IS per cent of its total budget from
the Chest. Without this support,
interracial progress in jobs, edu-
cation, housing, civil rights, F.E.-
PC. and general public attitudes
would have been impossible.
Furthermore, all "a of the Chest
agencies deal fairly with all mi
nority groups. No Chest agency
discriminates in offering services.
Portland is one of the very few
large cities which can make such
an unequivocal claim.
