PRICES RECEIVED by farmers
slipped another notch in September
to a new low since June, 1850. The
farm price index, which was 247 just
before Korea and rose to 313 in Feb
ruary, 1851, is back to 256. 1t has
dropped only per cent since April,
however, so that the decline shows
signs of dwelling off.
Government price props and strong
domestic consumer demand have
steadied the markets temporarily.
CATTLE-Supply pressure is near
the peak, but will continue heavy
until early winter. Long-fed cattle
will become less plentiful in the next

prices on a lower level than last

Government purchase of 10 to Is
million pounds of hamburger and
canned beef a week are helping to
sustain prices for bottom grades and

| Consumer demand for grass beef is
being stimulated by promotional eff
forts, although many retail stores are
reluctant to change from handling
their customary grades.
Buying of feeder cattle has picked
up. Because of the premium for tor

SEOUL, Nov. 30.-The secret
talks between Syngman Rhee
and Chang Kai-shek began un-
folding today with q South
Korean invitation to the free
nations Of Asia to form united
anti Communist front.
South Korean Foreign Minis
ter Pyun Yung Tai said plans
for such q union were started
last week end in the Formosa
meeting of the Presidents of
South Korea and Nationalist
China.
"The offer is open to the free
nations in Asia to sponsor a
conference to materialize the
Rhee- Chang plan," Mr.. Pyun
said in an interview. I'VE are
waiting for response. !"
There had been speculation
that Mr.. Rllee and Generals
simo Chang were forming a
two-party alliance to oppose
communism, but Mr.. Pyun's in
vitation indicated a much
broader program. He said the
conference should be held as
soon as possible.

sor-that has proved it was anti
Communist.
Although he did not say So
it was apparent that Mr.. Pyun
would not welcome India at such
a conference and also had mis-
givings about Japan, the strong
est industrial nation in Asia.
| Mr.. Pyun noted that Japan
has not "outlawed" the Com
munist Party. However, he
would not specifically exclude
Japan from any parley. he said,
The Foreign Minister proposed
that the Asian nations draw up

Mr.. Rhee and GeneraliSsimc
Chang had long been close
friends. but there is no pact
binding the two. However, dis
cussions of an alliance have been
under way from time to time
since 1949.

they also were backing a sim

sharply at a news conference:

Mr.. Rhee ducked questions on
whether Generalissino Chiang's
Nationalist troops might be used
in Korea if the war breaks out
again, and he was non-committal
to questions asking if they had
talked of the possibility of a Ma
tionalist attack on the Red China
mainland.
"Chiang Kai-shek has his
plans mapped out more or less"
Mr.. Rhee said.
Meanwhile, in Manila, q leader
Iof the Nacionalista Party said
the United States must take the
lead in forming a Southeast
Asian Union patterned after the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.
Senator Claro M. Recto, who
is expected to play an important
part in molding Philippines for
eign policy under President-elect
Ramon Magsaysay. said United
States leadership is essential If
a Pacific Union is to be effective

should use force in order to see
that every one of the more than

Allied observers saw in this the

The Communist side has made
the same pitch for use of force
against anti-Red prisoners after
i:alting the explanations Novem-
ber is. At that time, only 8 per
cent of those interviewed had
been persuaded to return to
communism. Stung by this
astounding rebuff. the Reds
started stalling.
The NNRC said the lengthy
prisoner statement purporting to
represent all 351 balky prisoners
was signed by Richard G. Cor

American authorities were in
clined to regard the Communist
move as part of a co-ordinated,

attack against the French gov

block plans for French approval

weaken French determination to

Dean Cool 10 Plan
Offered by Reds for
Korean Conference
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

h PANMUNJoM, Nov. 3o.-The
gCommunists today offered a
broad proposal for a Korean
Epeace conference-some of it
new and some of it old-but
snnost of it got a cold shoulder
from United States Delegate Ar
thur H. Dean.
y Mr.. Dean in turn offered the
Reds a compromise plan to let
Russia sit in on the conference
as a "neighbor of Korea, TAX
ing part as a third party with
full voting privileges.
/ Mr.. Deans suggestion was a
revision of earlier United Ma
ttionS demands that a confer
lence include only the two belli-
Igerent sides with Russia on the
Communist side if she attends.
However, an Allied spokesman
said:
I'VE expect the law of gravity
will operate to take care of that
situation and we would not be
surprised if Russia would show
up as the chief spokesman for

Mn. Dean and refused by the
Reds.
The Reds also proposed that
the conference begin December
20.
The Red plan was, in effect. a
counterproposal to u. N. plan
submitted by Mr.. Dean Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Joint Military
Armistice Commission, which
oversees the truce, said it will

Show Increase OF
2O& In Year

TAIPEI, Formosa-(NC) - The
number of Catholics sin the Arch
diocese of Taipei has increased
during the year ending July 80, by
$50 and now stands at 1927. In
cluded in this increase of about 20
per cent are 744 adult baptisms.
The total population of the area
is about 2,500,000, hence not even
three persons out of each thou
sand are Catholics.
The number of priests working
in the archdiocese has risen dur
ing the past year from As to slight
ly over 100. 1t is hoped that with
this substantial increase in the
number of priests the work of
propagating the Faith will make
considerable progress.
To aid the understaffed arch
diocese. which is headed by Arch
bishop Joseph Kuo. many mission
aries ousted from Red China have
volunteered. The number of priests
of the Chinese Congregation of the
Disciples of the Lord, who staff
the archdiocese, it pitifully small.
The Jesuits, with AZ priests, rep
resent the largest group in the
clergy, followed by the Francis
cans with IA. There are also Sales
ians, Camillians, Maryknollers,
Canons Regular of st. Bernard and
members of other religious socie-
ties working in the archdiocese.

The manifesto appealed TO all re-
lisioUs and civic societies in the

fort TO wipe out indecent literature
in the Philippines.
Prior to the Holy Name rally, the
Director of Public Schools sent a
memorandum to all teachers to ex-
ercise vigilance against the infiltra-
tion of indecent literature into the
schools. Meanwhile the Director of
Customs issued memorandum to
all personnel in port areas to be

of the filthy literature is aimed

that the main force of resistance

come from the same body of stu
dents.

According to report from the

her brother.
A few days before Mr.. Atlee's ar

local Catholics were arrested, the
correspondent reported, and held
until after his departure.
Similar actions were taken In

from villages through which Mr.
Atlee was expected to pass were
asked on that particular day to
report to police. All in all, the
