.0f Wet Mimi Attacks
BY the Assoeioied Press

HONG KONG, Dec. 2.-The
French have beaten of in the last
70 hours series Of powerful
Wet Mimi attacks aimed at
smashing the big base of French
union forces at Ma San in north
western Indo- China, it was learned
here today.
The Communicated Wet Mimi
used as high as 1000 troops in
one attempt to crush French posts
in the hills encircling Ma San and
suffered heavy losses.
The Wet Mimi have 1900
troops entrenched in the hills sur
rounding Ma San and have been
increasing rapidly the power Se-
hind their probing attacks. Ttey
apparently hope for a final as
sault which would be one of the
biggest and most important bat
ties Of the six-year-old war in
Indo- China.
The French have imposed
temporary security blackout on
direct news from correspondents
in Indo-China. A government
statement in Paris said the delay
was not aimed at hiding the truth
but was strictly for reasons of
military security.

Only the Soviet bloc voted for
the Russian plan. Twelve coun-

Brazil then announced that the

BY me Assoeiated Press

The Justice Department de-
elines to discuss a case in which
q Canadian company repeatedly
agreed to pay about $835,00 to
former Assistant Secretary of

associate to promote a United

Jess Larson. head of the Gen.
eral Services Administration, told

over investigation files to the JUS
tice Department. officials there
refused to talk about it "in any
way"
Mr.. Larson said GSA. the Gov

conducted the investigation. He
said it produced evidence that
Silver Miller Mines, Ltd, of
Toronto, agreed to pay Mr.. Grit
fifth and Maxwell Brown about
$685.. 900.
Larson Says $4,000 Paid.
The money, Mr.. Larson said,
was for promoting a contract un-
der which the United States Gov
ernment would buy cobalt, a
strategic metal used in making
steel. from the Canadian firm.
Investigators evidence shows the
two men received $4,000. with
$625,000 still owed, Mr.. Larson
said.
The GSA chief also said the
company signed a contract with
this Government in which it said
mo" to a question of whether it
had employed any other than full
time. full-paid employees in the
negotiations.
The contract was executed last
August Z. Mr.. Griffith was not
then with the Government.
There was no comment from
Mr.. Griffith or Mr.. Brown or, in
Toronto, from the Silver Miller
Mines.
In Public Relations Here.
Mr.. Griffith, an native of Union
town. Pa. and former national
commander of the American Le-
eion. is now a public relations ad-
wiser in Washington,
Mr.. Larson said the United
States Government has not ad-
vanced any money yet and there
has been no delivery of cobalt. but
the original contract is still in
effect, so far as GSA knows.

port made by Donald Clemmer

Itee to maintain a working head
quarters organization prior to the
inauguration.
AS limited earlier yesterday at
headquarters, the staff and the
office set-up which has operated
since the election will undergo
some revamping if only to hold
down expenses and promote maxi
mum coordination.
The five member committee
headed by Mr. Scott primarily
wants to raise funds and to pre-
vent costs from exceeding the ap-
proximately $4,000 now being
spent each week.
Financed by Committee.
"The committee has been or.
ganized." Mr.. Scott told reporters
ito meet a situation which arises
because of the absence of legisla
ton providing funds to maintain
the office of a President-elect be-
tween the time of his election anc
of his inauguration as President.
! Eisenhower headquarters has
been financed by the Republican
National Committee. The ma
tional committee spending is linn.
tied by law to SO million. Accord
ingly, the Eisenhower Headquar.
ters Committee was devised as q
legal safeguard and also as 9
means of getting some $150,000 ir
voluntary contributions, Mr.. Scott
explained.
Such contributions. Mr.. Scott
said, will be accepted from in.
dividuals and not from corpora.
tions. None will be. accepted if il
seems out of proportion or to have
any strings attached. he added.
The money will be used solely
to pay salaries of headquarters
personnel, mostly secretarial, cler-
ical and research, and for operat-
ing the Offices in the hotel. AT
present 43 rooms are being used
for Offices by between 80 and 100

ton.
Edgar Morrison, New York at

said the group will ask the In
ternal Revenue Bureau about all
possible tax angles affecting the
giving or receiving of money.
i He and Mr.. Scott emphasized
that the committee was not issu-
ing any formal appeal for contri-
buttons. They commented that
the committee nevertheless hopes
to get contributions of 81 and up

there would be thousands of Ohio

received no money.
The Management and insurance
people who forced through this
recommendation take the position
that unless the worker sustains a
monetary loss, industry should not
pay for his physical impairment
In other words, they reason that
industry is to be charged only
when the injury keeps the man
from producing as much as he
formerly did FOR INDUSTRY.
They completely overlook the fact
that AMERICAN WORKERS ARE

In this new age of television

Salt on Wounds
Last spring we studied a re.
port on the creation of study
commission set up by the General
Assembly to probe the operation
Of workmans' compensation in
Ohio. We were warned that the
composition of the committee was
loaded" against Labor with
business and insurance interests
dominating the group.
When the committee was Great
ed by the Legislature, the author
Of the Resolution stated that his
purpose was to investigate "am-
oulance chasing" and other usl-
ethical practices on the part of at
.orneys, including fee gouging.
We were warned last April that
he composition of the committee
which was set up posed a threat
hat the original purpose would be
abandoned and an attempt would
De made to destroy some worker
benefits.
The prediction came true. Re-
Gently the committee completed
is work and did nothing construc-
i've with respect, to unethical
practices by attorneys or fee goug
ng. On the other hand, it is max
ng recommendation to the in
coming Ohio General Assembly
which will cost injured workers
million of dollars.
Among other things recon-
mended is that worker not be
paid for any permanent partial
disability he has as a result of an
industrial injury unless HE SUI
FERS AN ECONOMIC LOSS. This
means if man receives a crippl-
ing arm injury he must go thru
life with a crooked and painful
arm, for example but is able to
SO back and work on his old job
| or job which pays as much as
I he was making before the injury
he will not be paid anything for
his permanent disability.
If enacted into law, this change
would mean that in 10 years time
