sion about banning the construc-
ton of warehouses but NPA Of
ficials were said to be of the opin-
ion that food warehouses should be
permitted.
Now in effect is an order pro-
hibiting the erection of buildings
costing more than $4,000 for rec
reation, amusement and entertain
ment purposes. Despite this and
despite the credit curbs on resi-
dental construction, NPA officials
have been apprehensive lest 1851
construction reach $25 billion, only
$2.75 billion less than the 1850
total.
NPA officials stressed in their
discussion with industry repre-
sentatives the necessity of saving
materials and manpower for the
expanding defense program.
Construction men were described
as urging that if there is to be an
order that it be issued promptly.
NPA officials were working on
the order today with the expecta-
ton that it may be issued late
today or early Monday.
Another order expected from
NPA is one somewhat similar to
the copper order but this time
applying to nickel and banning the
use of the metal in certain listed
products.

Ties Up Bus Service
On Line 10 Annapolis

Ninety bus drivers on the Capt.
tol Greyhound Lines between
here and st. Louis and Washing
ton and Annapolis, Md, walked
out on their jobs at midnight, Off
cials said.
A strike threat also hung over
the w. M. g. A. busline. which
carries 10000 passengers daily be-
tween Prince Georges County and
the District. The Greyhound line
carries 10000 daily on round trips
between Washington and Annap-
oils, officials said.
William Dennick, general oper-
ating superintendent of the Grey
hound firm, said the walkout came
so suddenly that drivers arriving
from Cincinnati at Clarksburg
w. Va, where he was, did not
know about the strike. He said
he is at a loss to know what il
is all about. as no grievance is
pending and the contract does
not expire until February, 1852.

Decree Hos 'on Implicit
And General Value
BY the Assesiofed Press

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 13.-Cath-
olic bishops throughout the world,
Jas result of their church's ban
Iof clergymen from Rotary, are ex-
pected to re-examine all organiza-
tions of this type so as to guide
Catholic laity, an authoritative
Vatican source said today.
A decree of the Holy Office Con-
gregation, of which Pope Plus is
'prefect, published Thursday, pro-
hibited Catholic clergymen from
belonging to Rotary or attending
its meetings.
Today, member of the congre-
CATION reiterated that the decree
applies implicitly" to similar
bodies. It's publication in the Vat
leans L'Osservatore Romano, Or
dered by the pontiff, this source
said, is further indication of it's
general purport.
Will Study Similar Organizations.
In It's light. this source said,
Catholic bishops everywhere are
called to re-examine all associa-
tions of this kind SO that they
will be able to direct Catholic lay
men in respect to them.
While it explicitly mentions
Rotary, this source said. the de-
cree, in the eyes of Catholic
bishops has IAN implicit and gen.
eral value"
Therefore, it is expected, the
informant continued, that bishops
will study all similar associations
insofar as membership by clergy
men in them is concerned and in
the light of the church's rules
directing the clergy to lead a re-
tired life.
Earlier, this same source said
the ban of Catholic clergymen
from Rotary was motivated by
two principal reasons, which ex-
press nothing new insofar as the
church is concerned: First, that
the organization is OF worldly
nature: Second, that clerical at
tendance at meetings where re-
ligion or other subjects are dis
cussed might be construed by
Catholics as church approval of
the discussions.
Decree Based on Church Law.
The general import of the de-
cree, this source said, is empha-
sized insofar as it concerns Cath
olic laymen, by its reference to
Church Law No. 684, which, the
decree "exhorted" them to follow.
This law states: Those (Catho-
lic) faithful are worthy of praise
who give their names to associa-
tions promoted by the church or
that, at least, are recommended by
it: Let them (the faithfully guard

Top Officials Aiming
Al Full Price Controls
In Two 10 -Four Weeks
By james Y. Newton

Top stabilization officials were
in agreement today that full price
and wage controls should be i'm
posed on the Nations economy
just as quickly as is practicable.
The new target date for impo-
sition of price controls. it was
understood. is from two to four
weeks from now. Curbs on wage
and salary increases will follow as
soon as possible the action on
prices.
A stepped-up drive to curb in
f1ation was planned by Mobiliza-
ton Director Charles E. Wilson
in a series Of private conferences
yesterday.
MIR. Wilson, among other things,
ordered two of his chief lieuten-
ants to end their differences over
price-control policy, which fast
were developing into a blown
feud.
These officials are Price Director
Michael V. Di Sale, strong advo-

Federal chiefs not directly in

The decision to put the lid on

was a compromise of the views of

DE Casper Charges
Reds Talk Peace but
Incite Civil Conflict
Says Cominform Set
Goal Of Subotoeine
ltoIy's Defense Role
By the Asseeioted Press

ROME, Jan. 13.-Premier Alcide
de Gasperi charged the Commu-
nists today with talking against
war while melting armed insur-
rection and civil strife.
In a major speech in Parlia-
ment defending Italy's pro-West
foreign policy-interrupted re-
peatedly by catcalls from Com
munist and fellow traveller depu-
tles-the premier said the COMM
form had ordered the Reds to
attack Italy's role in the Atlantic
pact just as it had ordered the
sabotage Of the nations part in
the Marshall Plan and in receiv-
ing American arms aid.
He charged the left-wing oppo-
sition with failing to carry on the
foreign policy debate-which
started last Tuesday-in a spirit
of sincerity.
Peace Efforts Pledged.
They never speak of the pre-
ponderance of Soviet armament
over that of the West" he said,
nor of the continued work of
educating the Communist youth
in the spirit of war and conquest" ."
He pledged his governments
best efforts for just and durable
peace based on international order.
He also reiterated Italy's demands
for membership in the United
Nations.
Speaking of Italy's proposed part
in an Atlantic pact army, the
Premier said it in no way infringes
on Italy's sovereignty. He re-
minded the deputies that an in
ternational committee represent
ing the Atlantic pact members
was above Gen. Eisenhower as
commander of such an interna-
tional army.
Loyalty of Purpose"
Speaking of the newly appointed
commanders task, De Gasperi said
Italy will meet Gen. Eisenhower
with loyalty of purpose and the
solidarity of free men"
Wild cheers from his own sup
porters and boos from the left
wing members interrupted this
conclusion to his speech, causing
him to reinforce his statement
saying:
I'VE will meet him with the
dignity of a people that remem-
bers the aid received after the wal
from the great nation from which
he comes, with faith in the inter-
national mission of peace and OF
security which he represents.

power, such as Russia, for very

press by Defense Minister Jens

be regarded as the premise guild

defenses.

Policeman Is Attacked
With Knife, 7 Others
Hurt in Street Battle
Arrest Of Fighting Suspect
Sturts FuII-ScoIe BruwI
In Northeast Section

One policeman was attacked
with knife. two others were
beaten and more than a score
were rushed into action to quell
Ia near-riot at Fourth and II
streets NE, early today.
Police said a policeman's efforts
to break up a street fight and
arrest one man brought on the
skirmish.
Pvt. Harvey Womble of the
ninth precinct, who was knitted
in the fighting, gave this account:
He and his partner, Pvt. r. r.
Swank, were cruising on H street
about 1:50 am. when they no.
ticed a crowd which seemed to be
moving. When they made a u
turn and neared the scene, they
noticed man lying on the side
walk and another man standing
over him.
Policeman Struck on Head.
AS Pvt. Womble got out of the
car, the man stopped kicking his
victim and started running. Pvt.
Womble caught him in the TOO
block of Fifth street NE, and
started back toward his scout car.
His prisoner was subsequently
identified as John T. Lyons, "a,
of no fixed address.
Near the scout car, Pvt. Wom-
BILE noticed that tense crowd of
between Is and 20 men had gath
cred. Sensing trouble. he put an
iron claw on the left arm of Lyons
to hold him and kept on walking.
At that point, some one in the
crowd hit me on the side of the
head and knocked me to the
ground" said Pvt. Womble. AS
the policeman fell, Lyons went
down with him.
IA Squad Cars Respond.
1t was then that Pvt. Womble
was slashed with a switch blade
knife. The weapon cut a hole in
his oyercoat but was stopped by
police book in his pocket. Police
accused Eugene w. Rollins, %, of
assault with a dangerous weapon
on Pvt. Womble but in Municipal
Court both Rollins and Lyons
were charged with assault against
police officer.
The tense crowd already, had
prompted Pvt. Swank to send in a
policeman in trouble" call and
police started swarming to the
scene. Among them were the oc-
cupants of IA squad cars and a
number of motorcycle men.
BY then, Pvt. Womble said, 81

police said Pvt. John j. O'Brien

Differs With Hoover
AS Demands for

DeDate on American tOrelgn
policy, centering around admins
tration proposals to send more
ground forces to Europe. contin-
ued today with added demands
for the withdrawal of United
States forces from Korea.
Developments included:
l. Senator Tobey, Republican,
of New Hampshire. newly-ap-
pointed member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, diff
fered with some of his party lead
ers and spoke out against with
drawing to ourselves or behind
any arbitrary line"
2. Senator Taft, Republican. of
Ohio branded as complete ap-
peasement" the U. N cease-f1re
order in Korea. He told reporters
he would much rather see with
drawal of American troops than
acceptance of the cease-fire pro-
posal.
Il think the cease-f1re proposal
is a most unfortunate move to-
ward appeasement of the Chinese
Communists, Senator Taft de-
clared. u wouldn't consider
yielding on any point to the
Communists. I would far rather
get out of Korea entirely"
Hoover Supported in Press.
3. Former President Hoover dis
closed that newspaper reaction to
his recent speech saying the United
States should defend the Western
Hemisphere and the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, while Western
Europe erected its own bulWark
against Communist aggression,
showed nearly three-to-one sup
port of his program.
4. Senator KnoWland, Republi-
can. of California, who has been
demanding use of Chinese Ma
tionalist troops in the Korean
fighting. denounced the proposed
United Nations peace plan calling
for a cease-f1re in Korea and talks
with the Chinese Communists. He
said this would only result in de-
livering Formosa to the Reds.
5. Several House members of
both major parties urged with
drawal of American troops from
Korea.
Tobey Asks positive Approach"
Senator Tobey's views, differing
from those of Mr.. Hoover and
those of Senator Taft, called for
"a positive approach" to the criti-
cal situation, and added:
Since 1916 Soviet Russia has
demonstrated, with cold cynicism,
brutal disregard for human rights
and international law, and unmis-
takably aggressive action, that she
is the enemy of the peace-loving
world.
Opposition to such an enemy
cannot be effective by withdraw
ing to ourselves or behind any
aroltrafy line, Tor tnlS can only
restrict our own action while al
lowing the enemy to range even
further and freer."
Forces Must Be Strengthened.
Declaring that peace loving
countries must actively and CO.
operatively' strengthen the forces
Of peace, Senator Tobey added:
I'm cooperation with our Allies
throughout the world we possess
an overwhelming advantage - in
population, in natural resources,
in manufacturing facilities, in ex-
perience and, above all, in the
strength of the free worlds ideal.
