State Dept. Fires John s. Service. U. s. Diplomat

WASHINGTON, P) - Joh n Stewart Service, long a contro- versial figure in American diplo- macy and a target of pro-com- munism charges, was fired by the State Department last night. The Department acted after the gov ernment's highest loyalty review board ruled there was a reason able doubt" as to his loyalty.
 The ruling, dating back to the famous "Amerasia" case of 1945, was based on the Boards finding that Service gave secret docu- ments at that time to a maga- zine editor the board said Service suspected of communist leanings or connections.
 Tn reaching it's decision, the re- view board reversed finding of a State Departments own loyalty security board which had been favorable to Service on the basis of the same evidence.
 A State Department announce ment of the dismissal, which be- comes effective at the close of business today, expressed no ag- reement with the review boards conclusion. It made clear that the department had no choice in the matter in view of that conclusion.
 Service himself labeled the ac- ton as "a shock, a surprise, an injustice" and said that on the basis of his record there could be no doubt of his loyalty. He and his attorney were understood to be considering whether the case, which has now run the full course of government procedures, might be taken into court.

Reds Refuse Lift, !" Secrecy Around
 Their POW Camps

MUNSAN, Korea, (P - The Reds refused today to lift the curtain of secrecy surrounding their prison camps, but said they would okeh the rotation of 5000 troops a month if the Allies ac- cept other communist terms for enforcing a Korean truce.
 The limited rotation plan was part of a new six-point commun- ist proposal which made little i'm pression on Allied negotiators. An official U. N. communique made no mention of rotation and. said the proposal showed little sig nificant departure from the un- acceptable proposal of Dec. B."
 Negotiators have not agreed on how an arunistice would be en- forced.
 Red delegates said Internation- al Red Cross inspection of com munist prison camps was "out of the question"
 They again refused to turn over lists of Allied prisoners unless the JUN. Command first accepts the communist idea of exchanging all prisoners. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby wanted to know why. He asked:
 "Is it because your list contains just a handful of names and you are ashamed to give if. to us?"
 The Reds complained the great majority of prisoners held by the JUN. would not be returned if an exchange were made on a man-for-man basis as the Allies want.
 A. JUN. spokesman called the communists remark a slip.

Russia and Big Three Disagree On How To Go About Disarming

PARIS, (P}-U.S. Ambassador Philip C. Jessup told the United Nations Political Committee to- day the Western powers will open disarmament negotiations with Russia with the fixed desire and hope that they will result in ag- reement."
 Explaining the revised Western disarmaYent proposals, Jessup said it was obvious that funda- mental differences remained be- tween the Soviet Union and the West.
 "We do not blink at the diff culties," he declared, "but the task of disarmament is vital and we intend to get on with that task"
 Negotiations would take place in a new disarmament commis- sion the West wants to set up under the terms of the revised British -French-America resolu- ton which Jessup formally in- troduced today.
 Russia and the Big Three have agreed in principle on setting up such commission but still differ almost completely on how to go further about disar1ning.

Japan, Canada and US. Sign lO-Year Fishing Pact

TOKYO, (P - Japan, Canada and the United States today sign ed ten-year fishing pact that proviSionally splits the North Pa cific for salmon, halibut and her. ring fishing.
 The line is provisional. It is subject to review by a three power commission set up by the treaty.
 The provisional demarcation line runs generally along the line midway between the Hawai- ian and Wake Islands.
 Salmon fishing, one of the main stumbling blocks of the confer ence, was referred to the commits sion for further study to deter mine if there are areas where salmon originating in North Am erican waters mingle with salmon originating in Asian streams.
 In such a case, the commission is charged with adjusting the pro- visional demarcation line.
 The pact covers all the North Pacific with the exception of ter ritorial waters of the nations con- cerned.
 The demarcation line is subject to change by the commission in areas where there has been his toric intermingliilg of fishing boats or where one nation has been substantially exploiting" a specific area for y,ars.

During 1851 There
 There'll Be More Guns, Less Butter

WASHINGTON, Produc- ton of civilian items such as automobiles and refrigerators which are made largely of critical metals will be cut sharply in 1852 because of expanding military output.
 That was the emphatic warning of Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson who put it this way:
 From now on, during 1852, there will be many more guns and much less butter"
 Wilson told the National Press Club that manufacturers of civil ian goods will get only about 50 per cent of their usual amounts of three critical metals - steel, copper and aluminium - in the first quarter of next year.
 The DPA head said he did not look for much increase in unem- ployment on a national scale be- cause of the civilian cutbacks but agreed there would be more job less in some areas.
 He cited Detroit and New Eng land particularly. There already have been sharp protests from members of Congress in both of these sectors about growing un- employment.

Air Action Takes Leading Role In Korean War

SEOUL, (P)-Red anti-aircraft guns hot down three Allied planes today while MIG killing American Sabre jets destroyed one Communist jet and damaged three.

 So did two reconnaissance ESQ Shooting Stars that were jumped by six Red MIG-l4s near Pyong- yang. The F-8Gs outmaneuvered and outflew the Red pilots in the much faster MICS.
 In unrelated actions Red flak brought down a Shooting Star, an F-84 Thunderjet and an F-51 Mustang. All three fell in Con- munist territory.
 In a 25 minute battle Friday morning between 48 Sabres and more than 100 MICS, one Red jet was shot down and two damaged. Another Red was damaged in an afternoon scrap.

 Stop CAB From Enforcing Closing Order On Dec. 20

WASHINGTON, (P) - Air Transport Associates, Inc, an ir- regular carrier operating between Seattle and Alaska, asked the U. s. District Court yesterday to prevent the Civil Aeronautics Board from revoking it's permit.
 The carrier has been ordered by CAB to go out of business by Dec. 20 because it allegedly flew too frequent flights.
 The petition asked that the Board be enjoined from enforcing it's order until a hearing is held on the company's application for a permit to operate as a sched- uled carrier.
 The company asked the court last Saturday to order the CAB to hold a hearing on the applica- ton.

Movie Producer, Jealous of Wife,
 Shoots Her Agent

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., (P)- Before the mortified eyes of his wife, Joan Bennett, producer Walter Wanger shot down her agent in parking lot last night "because he broke up my home"
 The greying moviemaker ap- preached the pair as they were chatting and without saying a word fired two shots from a small caliber pistol at point blank range.
 The agent, Jennings Lang, 39, was seriously wounded in the groin and leg and underwent sur gery lasting an hour and a half. Miss Bennett said she and Lang had been together on business during the afternoon. She denied any romantic interest in him.
 Wanger was booked on sus- picion of assault with intent to commit murder. He spent the night in jail and was to be ar ranged later today on a similar formal charge or one of assault with a deadly weapon.
 
 She told the police chief that her relations with her agent were purely business.
 ''If Walter thinks there is any romance between us," she was quoted by the chief, "He is wrong"
