U.N. SecurityCounci|
Takes Up Moroccan
Situation Today
U. S. Opposition May
Doom Arab Plea for
Action Against France
. Special Dispoteh TO The Sior

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 26-The United Nations Sc
curity Council meets today to
consider an Arab-Asian demand
that the U. N. act on the situ-
alton in French Morocco. The
demand is opposed by the United
States.
Although most observers feel
the United States position has
doomed the plea for a hearing,
DR.. Farid Zeineddine of Syria,
chairman of the,Arab-Asian bloc,
said he hoped new arguments
might win enough votes to put
the matter on the Security Coun-
Gil agenda. He said if the bloc
fails in the Council, it will reopen
the issue in the General Assem-
bly,, which conveneS September
Is.
The Moroccan crisis arose
when the French government
deposed the ruling Sultan and
installed his uncle. The United
States takes the position that
the matter is not a threat to in
ternational peace, and therefore
this country has announced it
will join Britain and France in
voting against opening debate.
Disorder Predicted.
AS the 15-member Arab-ASian
bloc sees it, the United States
decision was based on military
factors. Morocco, they point out,
is the site of several large Amer
lean air bases, and the United
States does not want u. N.
debate which might touch off
further disturbances in the North
African country. Also they be-
lieve United States commit
ments to France under the North
Atlantic treaty have influenced
Washington's decision.
Meoh1 Bennounna, who repre-
sentS the Moroccan independ-
ence movement at the United
Nations, told a news conference
disorder may spread as a result
of Americas position.
The Arab-Asian group bases
its contention on the argument
that the French intervened il
legally to depose the ruler of
their protectorate. The bloc
charges the United States is
violating old treaties pledging it

Reds Hint Release
Of jailed Prisoners;
May Add TO Total
133 Americans Freed
Among 400 Exchanged
On I'D Day of Series
BY the Associated Press

PANMUNJOM, Aug. 26.-An-
other 400 U. N. soldiers returned
from North Korea Stockades to-
day amid indications the Reds
will send back some Americans
handed Jail terms and possibly
more prisoners than they orig
inally promised.
Two of 1873 Americans who
crossed into friendly hands to-
day said some fellow Americans
sentenced to prison for "instigat-
ing against the peace" were
awaiting repatriation, possibly in
a day or two, at Kaesong. Kae-
song, just north of Panmunjom,
is the Red holding point for
allied POWs.
The apparent switch in the
Communist attitude toward these
prisoners followed protests by
the U. N. command that the Reds
were holding back dozens of men
on trumped-up charges.
No Official Comment.
At the allied base camp at
Munsan, U. N. command spokes-
men said there would be no COM
ment on the reported return of
the jailed Americans.
Along with 1873 Americans, the
Reds returned II British and $50
South Koreans today, the 22d
day of the big exchange of war
prisoners.
And $50 Americans and $50
South Koreans will be handed
over Thursday, the Reds said.
The Reds have promised to re-
turn 12,763 allied prisoners -
including 1913 Americans - but
Red Peiping radio limited they
might send back more.
Peiping said the Communists
have been adding to the
(prisoner) list newly-captured
prisoners" including men cap
tured in the final days of the
war.
The broadcast did not indi-
cate how many more would be
returned, but noted that one
man, captured day before the
armistice, had been sent back
Tuesday.
Some En- Route Home.
A total of 2,128 Americans
now have been returned-and
many of them are aboard ships
plying the broad Pacific on the
happy journey home.

Living Cost Hits
Peak for I'd
Month in Row
Auto Workers Get
1-Cent Automatic
Wage Increase
BY the Assoeiafed Press

The Government reported to-
day that living costs edged to
a new record high in mid-July.
The increase was enough to give
a million auto industry workers
a 1-cent hourly pay boost.
1t was the second straight
month that the Governments
living cost measurement had hit
a record. The index has risen
now for five months in a row.
Higher prices for food, rent,
transportation and medical care
were the main items responsible
for the new increase in consumer
costs.
114.7 Pet. of Average.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said its index, known as the con-
sumers price index, reached HAT
per cent of the 1947-49 average.
This is two-tenths of / per cent
higher than in mid-June, which
was also a living cost peak.
The mid-July index was one
half of | per cent above a wear
ago and 1877 per cent above the
level at the start of the Korean
War.
An index rise to 114.8 would
have been enough to provide a
2-cent hourly pay boost for the
auto workers whose rates are
geared to the Government
figures.
Pay rates of auto workers vary
with the index under contracts
between major car producers and
the CIO United Auto Workers.
Similar contracts govern about
10000 electrical workers in the
auto industry represented by the
CIO International Union of Elec-
trical Workers.
Food Rent Costs Rise.
Average hourly pay for hourly
rated workers in the auto indus
try as of May / was $2.1O in
cluding overtime, according to
the Automotive Manufacturers
Association.
Between mid-June and mid
July food prices rose 1/1Oth of l
per cent-with sharp declines in
fresh vegetable prices nearly off,
setting increases for other foods,
particularly eggs, pork, poultry
and fresh milk.
Rents rose a per cent during
the month, medical care 3 per
cent and transportation 2 per
cent. Apparel prices declined 2
per cent and the reading and
recreation index a per cent.
The previous peak for the
index before June was estab-
liShed last November. Since
then consumer prices declined
during the winter but gradually
nudged back.
While living costs have been
increasing, so have wages. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
Gently reported factory earnings
averaged $1.70 in July. This is
81 per cent higher than when
the Korean war began.

Dulles said he believes the ad-
miniStratiOn can achieve a bet
ter world. in the face of the fact
that man now has the power
Ito destroy himself" But he
said the U. N. would have to be
changed to make this possible.
He recalled that the charter
was drafted and signed at San
Francisco in early 1945 when
none of us knew of the atomic
bomb which was to fall on Hiro-
shima on August 6, 1945," and
added:
THE charter is thus a pre-
atomic age charter. In this
sense it was obsolete before it
actually came into force"
Mr.. Dulles went on to say that
"as one who was at San Fran
cisco, I can say with confidence
that if the delegates there had
known that the mysterious and
immeasurable power of the atom
would be available as means of
mass destruction, the provisions
of the charter dealing with dis
armament and the regulation of
ornaments would have been far
more emphatic and realistic"
Mr. Dulles said the second in
adequacy arose from the plac-
ing of reliance in a peacetime
continuation of the wartime
partnership of the United States,
Britain and Russia, with the re-
suit that power for action was
concentrated in the Security
Council with its veto. The as
sembly voting procedure gives
that body only an advisory role,
he said
The third inadequacy, Mr..
Dulles said, is the fact that the
General Assembly has made but
little progress" in establishing
fundamental law among nations
embodying eternal principles of
justice and morality"
FavOrS Review Meeting.
Mr.. Dulles told his audience of
lawyers that under the charter
itself the General Assembly in
1855 must consider calling
charter review meeting. He said
the United States will then vote
in favor" of such a conference.
Mr.. Dulles devoted much of his
speech to a review of efforts in
the recent session of Congress
to limit the authority of the
President in the field of foreign
affairs. He said this took the
form of proposals to prevent
possible future abuses" of the
Presidents power to make
treaties.
In this connection, Mr.. Dulles
said that during he last session
the Senate approved % treaties,
II of which according to Mr..
Dulles legal advisers would be
unconstitutional if the proposed
amendment had been in effect,
because they deal with matters
of state jurisdiction such as ne
gotiable instrument laws, local
licensing laws, ETC."
Cites Votes on Treaties.
Mr.. Dulles continued:
In the case of of these IL
treaties the vote was 86 yeas to
l nay. Included in the 86 who
voted in favor of these treaties
were 55 of the 81 Senators who
were originally listed as spon-
sors of S. j. Resolution l, which
would have made the treaties
unconstitutional.
This suggests, I think, that
the import of the proposed
amendment is not fully under
stood, even in the Senate, and
that the Senators. when it comes
down to concrete cases, recog-
nized that our Nation must be
able to make treaties which will
bind not only the Federal Gov
ernment but also the States"

of Ohio is the principal sponsor

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Hurry-up production orders by
United Artists on the film adap-
tation of Mildred and Gordon
Gordon's thrilling detective
novel, Case File: FBI," may
have set the Hollywood pattern
for a new screen cycle-one
based on current kidnappings
and kidnap threats and scares
throughout the country.
Ever since the Bobby Green
lease tragedy, followed by the
blood-trailed disappearance of a
15-year-old baby-sitter in La
Crosse. Wis, prominent families
of filmtown have been decidedly
edgy-a situation hardly i'm
proved by several attempted
snatches in Los Angeles.
Biggest local scare came few
days ago when the 4-year-old
son of Larry Finley, prosperous
cafe-owning disc jockey, was
dragged toward an automobile
by three women. The child had
a narrow escape. If anything
were needed to cryStalize the
general alarm felt among screen
mothers and fathers in recent
weeks, it was the Finley case.
Top film producers, therefore,
feel they have much more than
pecuniary interest in a feverish
campaign to get kidnap-themed
stories quickly to the country's
screens. They believe such a
cycle will awaken the public and
put it on guard as nothing else
could.
In purchasing Case File:
FBI," and speeding it up, inde-
pendent producer, Edward Small
stole a neat march on competi-
tors. United Artists has urged
Small to have the feature ready
for release before years end and
in order to expedite the project
he has engaged the highly sue
ceSsful man-Wife writing team to
fashion a script from their best
seller.
The novel hit bookstands six
months ago and is considered a
particularly appropriate story.
1t deals with the hysterical re-
actions of a woman who suddenly
comes into insurance money and
is torn thereafter by threats
against her child. Whether to
contact the FBI at once or re-
main quiet, as ordered to do on
threat of death, was her con-
tinuing problem. It is one that
is solved mechanically (and
in a manner that might prove
helpful to others) in the closing
chapters.

This burial turns out to have

Comes this very day the an
nouncement that Kiss Me,
Kate" MGM'S elaborate new
musical, will be shown at Loew's
Capitol in Sd following the
close of THE Robe" at date
yet unspecif1ed.,
The announcement is definite,
firm, but just a little bit shy. 1t
is as if the local Loew's manage
ment itself was taken by sur

the nature of test. The first
half of the musical was shown
in three dimensions; the second
in the old-fashioned mere two.

into their old familiar flatness

There was no question in the

In both processes.
1t turns out, it will be moth

fact that the old flattie form is

opened in New York.

Why not?
Loew's more polished brass, in
the person of Ernie Emerling OF
the New York office, explains:
There's been such a mega
tive attitude toward 3D. in re-
cent weeks on the part of the
public. the press, and the ex-
hibitors, that everyone around
here has been greatly concerned
about the reception of Kiss Me,
Kate if released in that medium.
1--WE all agreed that the
'quickie' tripe that has been glut-
ting the screens certainly
manned the goose that was lay
ing the golden eggs and there
was great indecision as to how
Kate should be shown. The six
test engagements of the picture
certainly caused our company to
do a quick about-face in it's
thinking. Kate in the Sd cities
