tions.
Stalling Suspected
Likewise, the major western
powers did not place too much
faith In RAU’s extended negotia-
tions which began when WU and
eight other Peking delegates ar-
rived in New York Nov. 24. Al-
though the western delegates
suspected the Chinese were stall-
ing, Indian sources claimed there
was no indication that the ap-
peal would be rejected.
They pointed out that even
closer contacts with the Chinese
Communists was being main-
tained in Peking where India
has accredited representatives.
Vishinsky did not make clear
in his address whether bv “for-
eign troops” he meant Chinese
Communist forces as well as
those of the Uniten States and
other countries allied under the
UN banner.
He refused to comment after
his speech on whether he con-
sidered Peking's troops in Ko-
rea as “foreign,” in view of his
persistent argument that they
are “volunteers."
ber Dealers Association, said
there is space in dealers' yards
to store more than a year’s pro-
duction — some 70,000,000,000
board feet.
He said right now there are
only 5,500,000.000 feet in the
inventories because of the rapid
rate of lumber usage this year.
But he added dealers have en-
ough railroad trackage, delivery
trucks, and mechanical handling
equipment to move huge sup-
plies of wood to any “point
where it might be needed quickly
in any emergency.”

accord for strengthening UN
forces in Korea and that it
failed to order Gen Douglas Mac-
Arthur to bomb Chinese Com-

Sen. H. Alexander Smith, K..

that Britain still urges the seat-

in the UX.
A-Bomb
During the final meetings, At-

what short of a definite assur-
ance Britain would be consult-

tin leased.
But the peace feelers aimed
toward Moscow and Peking
were clear.
The two leaders said they are
ready to seek an end to the Ko-
lean hostilities “by means of
negotiations” based on a free
Korea.
The first move toward peace
talks may be taken in a matter
of flays by the three Western
powers, whose representatives
are drafting a note to Moscow

bid for broad East - West talks

of a Peking proposal introduced
by Russia into the Security
Council and rejected. At the
same council meeting Russia ve-

Wages and Prices
Maybank said a full state of I
emergency should lie declared
at once and w age and price con-1
trols clamped on because "no I
sooner does congress appropri-
ate more money tor the military
than prices advance and the
real value of the appropriations
declines.”
Sen. John L. McClellan, P..
Ark., said “the time for full mo- 1
bllisatton is at hand. Time is II
wasting.”
Marshall said in a -peech in
New York last night that the j1
nation is “going into partial mo-
bilization.” But he warned
against moving too abruptly. He
said that would just create con-
fusion.
Thomas, who heads an ap- ]
propriations subcommittee deal-
ing with the military budget,
said he "expects" a national
emergency declaration soon, but ;■
that lie has no official informa- j
tion about it. Such a step, he I
said, would lie a forerunner for
general industrial and inanpow-j
er mobilization.
