'PIeyen Skirts Crisis
On Austerity Budget
To Pay for Rearming
BY the Associqted Press

PARIS, Nov. 17.-Premier Rene
Pleven was seeking support today
to keep France from falling once
again into the whirlpool of a
government crisis.
Mr. Pleven's coalition govern
ment skirted the edge of disaster
last night in calling for support
of an austerity budget made
necessary by the French rearma-
ment program and a wavering
economy.
The Premier escaped a show
down after 19 hours of debate by
hastily presenting a call for a
general vote of confidence in the
constitutional manner. This for
mality gives the government three
days of grace-time for National
Assembly Deputies to reflect the
consequences of a government
crisis and time for Mr.. Pleven to
rally the needed support.
Dollar Purchases Slashed.
Mr.. Pleven told the Assembly
last night he would resign if it
did not accept the new budget
which slashes heavily the amount
of dollar purchases France will
make outside-particularly from
the United States.
The proposed slashes woulc
stop Immediately the import ol
American woodpulp - used fol

and cut drastically next years
import of cotton. 1t envisioned the
possible cutting out of coal imports
by January / and the possible
necessity for restricting traffic tt
save gasoline.
These proposals were unpopular
to every one, for it meant every
Frenchman would be hit with the
kind of regulated austerity he in

The statement made to the

Advocate section of the 9th Army
staff in Korea concerning atroci-
ties perpetrated by the Com

hands was made under the follow

For more than a year officers
especially assigned to investigate
atrocities had been at work gath

a year ago it had become evident
to all concerned here that the
Communists statements concern

principles of the Geneva conven-
ton in the treatment of prisoners
of war in their custody were false

this evidence. whenever it was
finally determined that the death

way could all lingering doubts
be dlspelled from the minds of
our people as to the methods which
the leaders of Communism are
willing to use. and actually do
use, in their efforts to destroy free
peoples and the principles for
which they stand" Gen. Ridgway
said.
The supreme Allied commander
expressed deepest sympathy for
relatives and friends of U. N. COM
mand soldiers still carried on the
casualty lists as missing in action
we. their comrades, who shared
and so knew personally the con-
ditions under which they fought,
would be the last ones on earth
to wish to add to the grief of
their families" he said.
Yet Notwithstanding this feel
ing OF deep regret over what has
occurred, it may perhaps be well
to note with deep reverence that
in his inscrutable way God chose
to bring home to our people and
to the conscience Of the world
the moral principles of the lead
ers of the forces against which
we fight in Korea"
Gen. RidgWay said more than a
year ago it became apparent that
Communists statements concern

principles of the Geneva Conven-
ton in the treatment of prisoners

FROM HOLLYWOOD
By HoI Humphrey

/ This column today has been
turned over to Frank Sinatra. He
has been under the impression
that his recent alterations with
a few members of the press have
not been reported fully or fairly
| He is now ready to admit that
share Of the blame for this be-
longs to him, but he also wants
to give his version of the record
and does SO here for the first
time. in an exclusive interview.
First Of ALL" says Sinatra, 81
want all Of you to know that I'm
not a tough guy, or a wise guy
And I think you should know
that more times than not my re-
lations with newspapermen have
gone off smoothly.
Il guess now that most Of the
trouble started in Philadelphia
where Ava (Gardner) and I were
married. I'm not coppin' any
pleas, but the past year has been
rough one. and I don't believe
any one would have been thinking
soundly under the tensions I had
been having.
Just before the wedding I told
the press photographers they
couldn't take pictures inside the
house. Now on my oath. there was
only one out Of the 10 who baked
about using CHS pictures OF the
ceremony.
Il did get sore when this one
guy threatened to get his own
pictures anyway. and I shot off my
mouth at him. I realize now that
it would have been better to set
aside some time and let them take
their own pictures.
II don't want this to sound as
if were trying to take any heat
off myself. or be the big Ill. but
ia lot of the trouble at Philly can
be traced to there being too many
cooks. Everybody on my side of
the fence had an idea and was
telling me what to do.
"On this subject of a guy like
me having a private life, I will
always try to get as much Of it as
i can, but I was misquoted in
Mexico by a reporter.
He had me saying that the
press never did anything for me.
I would have to have a hole in my
head to say thing like that.
This fellow asked a personal
question about me and Ava. When
I replied, No comment he said,
Look. I did a lot for you in New
York when you were still with
Tommy Dorsey
MY answer to him was, I doubt
whether you ever did anything for
me. because you look as If you
must've been in high school at
that time But when his story
came out. he had it that the press
had never done anything for me.
Il would like to get it straight,
too, that the only time I ever
raised my hand against a member
of the press was the time
smacked Lee Mortimer about five
years ago, and that I would do it
again. There's guy who bounded
me for two years.

who tried to start something. He
kept yelling Where's your box
ing gloves, Frankie?' I ignored
him. but I learned later that he
had been put up to it, in the hope
that I would start something.
THE same thing happened In
Reno. One of the wire service
reporters there is about my size
and an ex-boxer. His colleagues
had framed him to start a fight
with me, but after we'd had a few
drinks at a Riverside Hotel press
party, he told me what the plan
had been. and we all had a big
laugh over 1t.
SHOW business Is a tough grind,
and I'm too busy for all this bick-
ering, and anyway I'm not that
kind of a guy. I'm sorry these
things have happened, and I hope
everybody can relax now. I know
I'm going to-"
The defense rests.

RSAMlS REPORTS
: FROM WASHINGTON

Since 1850, seven States have
changed their Congressional Dis
tricts and legislatures of thirteen
are considering the matter. If
the people are to have fair and
equal representation the States
must stop seeking partisan ad-
vantage as shown in weird-shaped
gerrymandered districts. This is
not for service to the people, but
to the party.
Postal Rates May Go Up
The Post Office Committee, of
which / am a member, recently
concluded extensive public hear
ings on increased postal rates.
After 10 days of hearing testi-
many from 1T witnesses the
Committee entered executive ses'
sion to amend the bill befor send
ing it to the House.
Here are the major increases
in mail cost to date as agreed up
on by the Committee. The penny
post card is to be raised to 2
cents. Rates of newspapers and

2O% for each of the next three
years. However publications main

tural, labor, veteran and frater-
nal organizations will not be af.
fected. Third-class mail is i'll

These increases will reduce the
Post Office deficit by many mil
lions Of dollars. Yet we must face
one thing very frankly. The So
called deficit" of the Post Office
Department is more than one
half billion dollars, but actually
very little of it is a true operat-
ing deficit. There are many hid
den subsidies for education and
public enlightenment, the airplane
business, the steamships and the
railroads. After these subsidies
have been taken care of, then the
net postal bill should be oppor-
toned among the users on basis
of cost.
