European army. This action had
been taken early today.
Mr.. Spaak berated the Assembly
action as truly without character"
and ''watered down compromise"
framed in the vain hope of winning
British support.
Turning toward a member of
the British delegation, he said t:
you talk as if we had decades
to talk of sovereignty and an
eternity to decide"
He criticized the resolution
which urged some member states
to establish a limited political
authority for the direction of the
European army force within the
Atlantic pact and in association
with Britain.
IF you cannot do more than
that" he said, I'VE are at the end
of the road"
Mr.. Spaak said that as president
all he heard was a series of reas-
ons why Europeans could not
unite. The Germans, he said
wanted national unity first, the
Belgians wanted Britain to join
first, the French refused to join
up alone without Germany, and
the British kept referring to their
special position"
He declared Europe is facing q
gave crisis living on the fear OF
Russia and on American charity
and unable to agree on strength
through unity. There is not a
moment to lose. he said.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. Ill.
Vivian Truman. brother of the
President. today voiced a solid in
dorSement of the man the Presi-
dent has nominated as the Dis
trict's new recorder of deeds at
$1,000 year.
Mr.. Truman, Federal housing
administrator for the Kansas City
district. told The Evening Star
and later two investigators for
the Senate District Committee
that he thought Earl Wayne Beck
was "a pretty good man"
Vivian Truman made it clear
he was not seeking publicity, that
he was quite content to let public
statements come from Harry Tru-
man. But in view of questions
raised about Mr.. Beck, he readily
discussed the nominee and said he
was personally informed about the
man.
He said in former years, while
President Truman was presiding
judge of the Jackson County
Court. the latter had supervision
over the Jackson County Home for
Negro Boys and Girls. Mr.. Beck
was superintendent of that home
for Is years. resigning in 1910 un-

Vivian Truman was employed
then as an officer of that court
and made weekly trips to the

Ground Action Also Light Poee AS
when an armistice is reached. The
United Nations insisted on a
fair and equitable exchange,
which was interpreted as a man
for man swap.
The prisoner question was taken
up by two-man subcommittee
zone from each side> a few min
utes after the Communists capit-
ulated to Allied insistence that
the subject be tackled now.
simultaneously the Red nego-
tiators intimated they would
agree to continued rotation of
troops and to two other Allied
demands if the United Nations
command would agree to neutral
behind-the-lines inspection dur
ing a Korean armistice.
Concessions Kindle Hopes.
Later the tentative offer was
withdrawn without the Allies say
ing how they felt about it.
The Red concessions rekindled
hopes of possible truce by
Christmas.
The Reds complained that a
U. N. plane bombed and strafed
the security area surrounding their
Kaesong headquarters. But it ap-
peared the incident would be
smoothed over. Neither side
seemed desirous of making it a
major incident.
There had been no official word
on how many prisoners the Reds
hold. But 1t. Col. Howard M.
Levie, U. N. spokesman, said Com
munist broadcasts reported 139,-
600 U. N. and South Korean troops
were held by the Reds.
Roughly I'd say we hold 10o.-
600 North Koreans and between
$4,000 and 10000 Chinese" Col.
Levie said.
He estimated that the Commu-
nists have 10000 to 5000 South
Korean prisoners and 10000 to
$4,000 U. N. prisoners. OF the
U. N. group he estimated 1000
to 1,500 were British, 1000 were
from other countries and the re-
mainder were Americans.
Figures Don't Agree.
His figures on possible American
prisoners don't coincide with a
recent U. N. atrocity report.
Col. James M. Hanley of the
United States 9Th Army said re-
Gently the Reds have killed about
$500 Americans after taking them
prisoner. Fewer than 11,000
Americans have been reported
missing in action, SO Col. Hanley's
figures would leave only about
5000 Americans as potential pris-
oners.
AS result of today's develop
ments at Panmunjom negotiators
are working simultaneously on two
of the three remaining clauses of
a proposed armiStice-supervision
of the truce and exchange of pris-
onerS.
The prisoner problem was tackled
by Rear Admiral r. E. Libby,
recent addition to the U. N. COM
mand armistice team, and North
Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Song Cho,
who has been directing Red talks
on truce supervision.

aides said no subject matter was

this is the first of a series of

Senator Fulbright, Democrat,

Retail Food Prices
Soar 10 New Record
In November Survey
Advance of Id Per Cent
In ll-Doy Period Led by
Fresh Fruits, Vegetables

The Government announced to-
day that retail food prices reached
a new all-time high on November
26, climbing IA per cent in the
previous IL days.
Most of the rise, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported, was
caused by higher prices for fresh
fruits and vegetables, dairy prod
ucts, lamb and eggs.
A survey of eight cities, in
Icluding Washington. showed that
fresh fruit and vegetable prices
rose 10 per cent between Novem-
ber Is and 26. The bureau said
this was more than the usual
seasonal increase to be expected
at this time of year.
Tomatoes Up "a Per Cent.
The increase ranged from to-
matoes, up 27 per cent, to pota-
toes, 9 per cent, and carrots, 8
per cent.
The bureau said the November
rs prices were 234.5 per cent of
the 1935-1939 average. This was
about 2.6 per cent higher than a
month earlier and Is per cent
above the pre-Korea level.
The report said prices Of
canned and dried fruits and vege-
tables rose slightly, while frozen
items generally were somewhat
lower.
Cheese dropped / per cent but
all other dairy items advanced,
for an overall increase of or per
Icent.
Pork Price Eases.
Meats, poultry and fish averaged
0.4 per cent less, due to decreased
pork prices because of seasonal
abundance.
Sugar and sweets, fats and oils,
all were slightly higher on Novem-
ber 26, compared to the middle of
the month. Cereals and bakery
products remained unchanged and
beverages showed only little
change.
