Rise and Fall Wage Policy Approved 10 Meet Living (osis

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18-R-The government has adopted, tempor- arily at least, general policy of allowing wages to rise and fall with living costs.
 In approving the policy yesterday Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston said it was ''in line with the overall stabilization objective of keeping the American economy in balance .'
 However, Johnston said the whole stabilization program would have to be reviewed next spring. He okayed the new policy, proposed by the wage stabilization board, until next March l.
 In the meantime, the board will approve wage increases granted by employers to offset the rise in liv- ing costs. Roughly, they have risen Il percent since January, 1850 and about two percent since the wage price freeze of last Jan. 25.
 The new policy supplements but does not change separate regula- tion under which employers may grant increases of 10 percent over January, 1850 levels without coming to the board for approval.

Manehuridn Bombing Used Without Doubt If Reds Disagree

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18- tR = Three Senators today said if Kae- song truce talks fail the United Ma tions may strike the Red Chinese in Korea with the sort of warfare
 proposed by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur.

 Macarthur, busted as Pacific com mander by President Truman, called
 for the bombing of Manchurian Communist bases, a Naval and econ omic blockade of China and use of Chinese Nationalist troops from Formosa.
 Senator H. Alexander Smith (R- ND, one of eight Republicans join
 ing in a statement condemning MacArthur's custer, said in an inter-

Allies, Reds |Gef Down 10 Brass Tatks
Progress Reported in Second Informal Meet- ina on Buffer Zone

MUNSAN, Korea, Aug l8-R- Allies and Reds got down to brass tacks today as the four-man arm istice subcommittee met on the buffer zone issue for the second straight time in an atmosphere of friendly informality.
 The talkssare being held strictly off-the-record and no official re- port of progress was made.
 But pooled dispatch from Kae- song said the four generals-two American, one North Korean and one Chinese-were seen huddled over a map spread out on a con- ference table. They pointed to 1t as they talked And they seemed to be speaking informally, and not from prepared statements.
 After a lengthy session in hot and sweltering Kaesong they ad- iourned. They will meet again at Ill am. tomorrow (6 pm. Satur- day, PDT). That indicated the four trouble-shooter did not reach a final decision today on where the cease-fire buffer zone should be.
 Vice Adm. c. Turner Joy, sen- for Allied negotiator released in Munsan the text of a statement he had made in one of the fruit less sessions of the main delega- tions.
 The statement spelled out the U. N. demands for buffer zone along the present battle lines.
 Joy said the U. N. must retain defensive positions in case hostil- ities were renewed, because the primary mission of any comman- der is to insure the security of his forces at all times" He said an armistice would be of greater advantage to the Reds than to the Allies. and he rejec- ted the Communist bid for buf- fer zone along the 38th parallel.
 We must retain defensive pos itions," he said. We must keep our military guard up until the final settlement of the Korean problem seems assured" Joys statement was a flat dec claration of policy he has pursued since the cease-fire talks started.
 The formal talks between the two five-man delegations failed, and the problem was turned over to a four-man subcommittee. The subcommittee appeared to be mak- ing some progress.
 Once more the sound Of laugh ter coming from the conference room spurred hope of progress. Peiping radio yesterday dropped hint of progress in a broadcast just before the negotiators met. The Red radio, monitored in Tok- yo. said the subcommittee Thurs day took the first step toward finding solution to the issue deadlocking the truce talks"

Br'lgifs Doesn't LiEce Tags Ois Ills Kings:
 Some Sauce. Maybe?

Bears do not like Alaska Depart ment of Fisheries salmon tags, M. L. MacSpadden of the department discovered recently.
 He found evidence on a bear trail where bruin had eaten king salmon but spit out the tag which had been affixed to the fish in the course of salmon tagging operations on the Taku River. The tag bore teeth marks and was picked up on , the Upper Nahlin River, headwat- CTS of the Taku.
 MacSpadden is working with Walter Kirkness, biologist for the department, in tracing the king sal- mon run of the Taku. The first tag ging was done at the mouth of the river, then continued up stream above Taku Lodge and now the men are visiting the spawning streams. The two men have worked 100 miles above Tulsequah on the Can adian side, covering the upper trib- utaries of the Taku on the south. They are now on the northern trib- utaries making a preliminary survey to locate the concentration of king salmon spawning grounds. Baby, It's Cold. ." Most of the kings have been lying in big holes waiting for temper ature drop, Kirkness reported. As many as 200 to 300 fish concentrat- ed in the security of the deeper water since they spawn during the time of dropping temperatures, he said.
 Robert Parker, biologist, assisted by Carl Weidman, IT,, is operat- ing on what he calls "xyz rivers unnamed streams-flowing into the Sheslay and Nahalin rivers. Two tags have been recovered from kings that were tagged last winter near Ketchikan. Taku Kings ! Reports to date show that the kings of the Aaku are well distrib- uted, c. L. Anderson, director of the department, said today. This years investigations will set pattern for continuing studies
 on the Taku and other similar streams" Anderson said.
 "When the investigations are
 completed, it will be possible to
 determine the time the different
 races of kings go through the fish ing areas. A race is section of a run to a definite spawning loca-
 tion and different races seldom
 intermix," he explained.
 He said that knowledge gained from these studies will make for intelligent recommendations for reg ulations to give the maximum pro- duction and harvest of the king sal mon of the Taku.

 Department official George Truesdell said Myschkov ignored question whether Russia had anything new or constructive" to offer in way of settling the dead locked lend-lease account. Stand ing stiffly at attention. the Rus sian announced simply that new meeting of lend-lease experts was requested.
 Nearly five years of on-again, off-again talks were broken oil last May ' with the two sides still more than half billion dollars apart on settlement.
 The U. S. had offered to settle the account for $800,00o.00O but Russia refused to offer more than s24O, 100000. Not enough, said the U. s.
 Furthermore, Russia bluntly de- clined to consider returning to the U s. 672 lend-lease naval ships including 84 merchant vessels, 5S6 small naval craft and 30 military water craft such as barges ana tankers. Russia said the U. s. doesn't need the ships anyway. Included are two icebreakers which Russia said last January were stuck fast in the ice.

(Ed. Note: Drew Pearson IS on another tour of Europe, studying conditions there in thls period of world tension and cri- sis. Herewith is another of his dispatches from close to the Czech bOrder.)
 NEAR THE CZECHOSLOVAK BORDER. - The current experl- ment in penetrating the Iron Cur tain by balloons may be a great success or it may fail. It is too early yet to say. But the important thing is. that it's an attempt by private individuals under the free enterprise system to try out cer' tain methods of psychological pro- paganda-or call it psychological warfare if you will-which gov ernments will not and perhaps cannot tackle.
