Acheson challenged Russia to
show its alleged desire for peace
by accepting it and calling off the
Korean war.
Vishinsky sumamrily rejected the
Allied plan. He said that the United
States started the Korean war, that
it was planning a third world war
and that the danger of such a war
was never greater.
Then, ending a 75-minute tqrrent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (B-The
Agriculture Department Thursday
estimated the size of this year’s
cotton crop at 15,771,000 bales,
seven,, per cent below the Oct. 1
forecast of 16,931.000 bales.
Losses during the month, the de-
partment said, occurred chiefly in
areas where the crop was later
than usual and where there was
sev.cre drought during August and
In many areas was heavier than
expected. ?
The forecast in Texas Is 500,000
bales loss than indicated a month
ago, and- the Department’s report
shows large decreases In Okla-
homa, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
The lejMHl listed Texas’ Novem-
ber estimate st 4,300,000 bales,
compared to the October estimate
of 4.800,000 and production In 1950
of 2,946.000 bales.
Oklahoma's November estimate
was placed at 500,000 balea, off
from the October estimate of 580,-
000. Oklahoma produced 242,000
bales in 1950.
Arkansas has a new estimate of
1.350,000, down from the October
estimate of 1,600,000 aa compared
with 1,090.000 bales in* 19.50. Lou-
isiana also shows a downward pre-
diction in November of 770,000 com-
pared with an October forecast of
600,000 and I960 production of
426,080 iNJeil
The department said the average
lint yield per acre bf 265.2 pounds
compares with the 1950 yield of
269.2 pounds and the 10-year aver-
age of 265.9 pounds.
Severe treezes witn snow in some
areaa occurred In the central
cotton belt on Nov. 2-3, the de-
partment said. However, it said
Thursday's report does not take
into consideration effect of the
early November freezes although
"it will probably result in some
reduction in quality in the Ar-
kansas. Tennessee, and nearby
areas." <.
The percentage of the crop
ginned by Nov. 1, the department
said, generally was larger than
average cast of the Mississippi riv-
er but below average to the west.
About 64 per cent of the crop,
or 10,021,664 bales, was ginned by
Nov. 1, the department said, com-
pared with a 10-year average of
70 9 per cent.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 OR-Pres-
ident Truman took off by plane at.
6:59 a.m. cat Thursday for a long
vacation in Key West, Fla.
Just before taking off on his first
vacation since last spring, Mr.
Truman told newsmen there is "not
a word of truth’ in the New York
Times story saying he had offered
to support Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower for the presidency next year.
Mr. Truman said he would not
have been surprised if some col-
umnist had written the story, but
“I would have never thought that
of (Arthur) Krock."
Krock directs the Times’s staff
in the capital.
Mr. Truman was scheduled to
arrive at Boca Chica Naval Air
station outside Key West by noon.
The President had been at his
desk almost *to the time of his
departure. He made an historic
speech Wednesday night calling for
world disarmament, abv earkcr ’b.

assistant to the President; White
House secrctaytes Matthew Connal-
ly. William B. Hassett and Joseph
