Spectacular Blaze Starts
from Christmas Win
dow Display
HALIFAX, N. S. Dec. 1—W)—
Firemen probed today in the ruins
of a gutted department store where
at least 10 persons died in a spec
tacular fire starting from a gaily
lighted Christmas window display.
Ten bodies were recovered last
night from the steaming ruins of
the four story building of Kay’s
Ltd., but one section of the ruins
was still too dangerous to search.
One woman was in a hospital.
Hero of the fire was teen-aged
Roland Mulholland who led two
other youths and three women to
safety through a rooftop escape lad
der. Police estimated 29 clerics and
Christmas shoppers were in the
store at the time.
The blaze started when an em
ployee plugged in an electrical sign
in the window display. Quickly it
spread. A curtain of flame across
the only entrance, licked up the
stairway and flamed through the
57-year-old structure into Halifax’
worst fire since 1939. The Queen
Hotel burned in 1939 with a less of
28 lives.
ATLANTIC
DEFENSE
TAKEN UP
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—OP)—In
formed sources said today a meet
ing of North Altantic military
leaders has been arranged to seek
immediate agreement on creation of
combined defense force in western
Europe. A formal announcement is
probable within the next 24 hours.
President Truman said only yes
terday that it is now more neces
sary than ever to establish such
a force under a supreme command.
Defense and military officials of
the North Atlantic Treaty nations
tried at meetings here in October
to agree on the details of a com
bined force for western Europe.
A deadlock developed at that time
between U.S. and French proposals
to rearm western Germany.
Appointment of a supreme com
. mander—generally expected to be
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower—was
postponed pending further efforts
to reach a detailed agreement on
the combined force.

Washington — British and
French skepticism over General
MacArthur and his risking of an
all-out war with China has focused
attention on some of the friction,
» long hushed up, between Washing
ton and Tokyo. This friction was
one reason for the President's sud
den flight to Wake Island.
The President, of course, has
never admitted publicly that there
was any difficulty with MacArthur.
Furthermore, MacArthur has been
almost obsequious in conferring
with Washington, and only once cr
twice has he been curt or abrupt,
i Once, however, on or about October
12, when instructed not to bomb
bases on Chinese soil, he sent back
a very rough cable loaded with
bitterness.
‘•My troops are being bombed
and strafed by planes based on the
North side of the Yalu River,” is
an accurate paraphrase of MacAr
thur's message. "What do you pro
pose I do about it?"
MacArthur never got an answer
f to this query.
The problem involved in this and
other messages was exactly that
which has bothered the British,
French and our other UN Allies—

CHINESE RED
QUESTION UP
j TO ASSEMBLY
NEW YORK. Dec. 1—(fll—Pre
sident Nasrollah Entezam gravely
informed the UN General Assembly
! today it must consider the Korean
case because the Security Council
j laild to reach a decision.
“The situation is extremely grave
! but because of hope all is not
lost,” he told the 60 nations’ dele
gates. "It is vital that the peoples
| of the world not be blinded by
; hatred or fear.”
i The delegates convened with the
1 spectre of atomic war looming be
| fore them. Various diplomats en
| gaged in round-the-clock discus
j sions on how to get the Chinese
! Communists out of Korea without
j touching off world war III.
Entezam, an Iranian, said he
| had received many messages asking
him to intervene to bring peace. He
made no formal move to place the
Korean case on the Assembly’s
agenda. That is expected to be
done early next week.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik was conspicuously
absent from the diplomats’ private
discussions. Malik last night vetoed
a six power Secruity Council resol
ution calling on the Chinese Reds
to withdraw and promising to safe
guard their legitimate interests in
Korea and respect ’he Chinese-Kor
ean frontier.

Nearly Eighteen Billion
Wanted Because 'Grav
ity World Situation'
—
! WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 — —
President Truman today asked Con
gress to provide an additional $17,
850.000,000 for arms, including
atomic weapons, with the “utmost
speed” because of the “gravity of
the world situation.”
In a message to the legislators,
Mr. Truman said "these funds are
needed to support our part in the
United Nations military action in
Korea, and to increase the size and
readiness of our armed forces
should action become necessary in
other parts of the world.”
He asked:
$16,800,000,000 for a quick build up
of the Army, Navy, Marines and
Air Forces.
$1,050,000,000 to speed up the ,
atomic energy program which means I
increasing the stockpile of atom i
bombs.
Before sending his message to the j
capital, Mr. Truman had Demo- :
cratic and Republican Congressional:
leaders at the White House for a ;
discussion of the grave interna- j
tional situation and an explanation j
of why he was asking for the
money.
In his message, the President re
viewed the situation in Korea and
said the Chinese Communist lead
ers, known to have close relations
with Moscow, could not help but
know that their “large-scale assault”
in Korea “involved grave risk of
world war.”
He said the United States and
other free nations “will not falter
or turn back.”
Mr. Truman concluded his mes
sage with these words:
“In this critical time, the national
interest is paramount, and all parti- )
san or selfish considerations must |
be subordinated.”
Legislators who attended the i
White House meeting quoted the j
President as telling them that all j
of the more than $30,000,000,000 in
military funds Congress previously
has provided in this fiscal year i
have been committed.

Conference, Home
Front Planning
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—(4V-Pre
sident Truman talked over with
Congressional lead'eis today the
stepped up aramaent and home
front program he wants as a re
sult of the increased threat of
World War III.
Republican as well as Democratic

Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of
the joint chiefs of staff, and Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, director of
Central Intelligence, were on hand
when the Congressional delegation

as background for the Congress
members, the general military and
international situation. •
Even before the meeting, full

Korean war effort was promised by
frenator Taft of Ohio, chairman
of the GOP Senate Policy Com
mittee.
The session with the Congression
al leaders followed the regular Fri

about manpower, commodities and
prices. Asked what he meant by
commodities, he said. “Steei, cop
per and other supplies.”

Stalehoods for Alaska, Hawaii
Appear Now to Be Lost Cause;
Inevitable Defeal Is Admitted
By G. MILTON KELLY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 — (A>) —
Statehood lor Alaska and Hawaii
during the present Congress ap
peared virtually a lost cause today.
Senate Democratic Leader Lucas
tD-Ill), of Illinois, said he held no
hope a coalition of Republicans and
Southern Democrats would remove
the roadblock they set up to stall
the measures. He denounced their
tactics as a filibuster.
President Truman had urged
statehood for both territories as a
reply to Russian propaganda in the
j Orient that the U.S. has colonial
i ambitions. The President said, too,
! they deserve statehood. Opponents,
j on the other hand, argue the two
! territories are not ready for state
hood and that admitting them to
the union would not check Soviet
propaganda.
Defeat Expected
Lucas all but acknowledged de
feat in a Senate speech yesterday.
Opposition strength, he said, has
made it “very clear there isn’t going
to be any vote on the statehood
bill."
Most opposition to the statehood
measures traces back to the old
fight over civil rights, Lucas said.
Dixie Democrats reportedly are
fighting the bills mainly because
they fear Senators from Alaska and
Hawaii would join forces with

Another Bill Blocked
The same fight, Lucas added, also
has blocked a controversial railway
labor bill. This measure seeks to
allow the union shop and “check
off” payment of union dues in the ;
railway industry. Senator Jenner |
(R-Ind) wants it to carry a "Fair
Employment Practices” (FEPC)
amendment which the Southern
group opposes vigorously.
Parliamentary Snarlup
After four days of debate, the
issues have become enmeshed in
this parliamentary snarlup:
1. The Senate can’t proceed to
vote on the Alaskan statehood bill
without an impossible-to-get unani
mous agreement to sidetrack the
railway labor bill.
2. It can’t go ahead with the labor
bill without unanimous approval—
almost equally difficult—to side
track a pending motion to vote on
statehood for Alaska.
Fate of Hawaiian Bill
Action on a similar bill for Hawaii
hinges on the fate of the Alaskan
measure. Both have been approved
by the House.
After three days of treadmill de
bate, Democratic Leader Lucas in
formed reporters yesterday that un
less a voting agreement can be
reached by Monday he will with- j
draw his motion to take up the j
measure. And he indicated very I
plainly that he foresees no such
agreement.
Senator O’Mahoney (D-Wyo),
floor manager for the bill, took a
similar view.
Next Move
After moves failed to set a voting
time either tomorrow or Monday,
Lucas said:
“We’ll let the boys talk tomorrow,
then set the statehood bill aside and
take up rent control if we still t
don’t have an agreement to let the
statehood come to a vote.”
The Alaska bill has never offi- j
cially been before the Senate for j
consideration, although both it and |
the Hawaii measure cleared the j
House early this year. Since Tues- j
day, the debate has been based on j
Lucas’ motion to bring it up. Even if ,
that motion prevailed, the bill itself
would be subject^ to unlimited talk.
O'Malioney’s Views
O'Mahoney appraised the situa
tion in the Senate as “a full scale
filibuster.”
Senator Hoey (D-NC) demanded
in a speech that backers of the bill
abandon their fight for it “in the
interests of national unity.”
In light of developments in Ko
rea, he said, “Unity is a supreme
need. We should not take up this
controversial matter now.”
Hoey said he opposes granting
statehood to any area not con
tiguous to the United States and
contended Alaskans themselves are
far from overwhelmingly in favor
of becoming a state.
i ax issue
Taxes of Alaskan communities j
already are high and would double
under statehood, he said, asserting ,
many people in the territory want j
to continue territorial status on that!
account.
Senator Saltonstall (R-Mass) an- j
nounced in the Senate he will vote
against the proposal to take up the
statehood issue ahead of the pend
ing bill proposing to authorize
union shop agreements and
“checkoff” payment of union dues
in the railway industry.
He said he would vote against the
motion because "the Senate should j
keep the commitment it made last
September” to vote on the railway
bill, and disclaimed “any purpose
of delaying the statehood bills.”

MacARTHUR
TALKS OUT
ONCRISIS
Is Under'Enormous Handi
cap, Without Precedent,
Military Operations'
WASHINGTON, Dec. l _ Ufi —
Gen. Douglas MacArthur said to
day his lack of authority to strike
at the Chinese Reds across the
Manchurian border from Korea is
“an enormous handicap, without
precedent in military operations."
MacArthur said the position of
United Nations forces is serious and
critical but not helpless—"Unless
one completely discounts the com
bined resources of the free nations
engaged in the Korean conflict.”
His statements were made in a
copyrighted interview, to be pub
lished in the magazine U.S. News
and World Report next week.
MacArthur said it would be "in
appropriate at this time” for him
to comment on the possible use of
the atom bomb in the Korean fight
ing.
He made the same reply to a
question as to whether there are
large enough concentrations of
enemy troops to make the bomb
effective.
In Tokyo, his top intelligence of
ficer, Maj. Gen. Charles A. Wil
loughby, told reporters today the
situation in Korea is not desperate
and implied the atom bomb is not
needed to halt the Chinese Red
counter-offensive.
President Truman said yesterday
active consideration is being given
to use of the A-bomb but that its
use has not been authorized.
MacArthur said he had to start
a winter offensive in Korea to pre
vent the Chinese Communists from
building up a huge force that could
destroy the United Nations fight
ing strength.
He referred to the starting date
of his offensive as Oct. 20, and
made other references to October.
He thus appeared to regard the
“End the War” assault, which he
announced Nov. 24, as simply a
part of the general winter offen
sive.
MacArthur was asked by editors
of the magazine:
“Are the limitations which pre
vent unlimited pursuit of Chinese
large forces and unlimited attack
on their bases regarded by you as
a handicap to effective military op
erations?”
He replied:
“An enormous handicap, without
precedent in military history.”

Air Force Fighter Bombers
Blast at Red Buildup
Attacks Expected
(By the Associated Press)
General MacArthur's top intelli
gence officer said today the United
Nations situation in Korea is not
I desperate and implied the atomic
; bomb is not needed to stem the
: Chinese Red tide.
He reported the Allied line in the
| critical northwest is being stabi
lized. The U.S. Eighth Army re
| treated to this shortened line' ex
j lending inland from the Yellow
| Sea after its severe setback by the
| Chinese in the past week,
i Eighth Army sources expected
strong new Red attacks on that
! front Friday night or Saturday. A
spokesman said enemy strength was
| building up south of the Chongchon
j river.
Bombers Lash Out
Wave after wave of U.S. Fifth Air
i Force fighter-bombers lashed at
the Chinese buildup south of the
frozen stream.
In the northeast — across the
peninsula's mountainous spine —
United Nations forces were reported
making a fighting retreat southward
on both sides of the big Changjin
reservoir.
Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby,
MacArthur's O-a boss, assessed the
war situation for correspondents in
| a 2,500-word statement in Tokyo,
j and then submitted to questioning.
Situation Not Desperate
j Asked if there were any targets
I in North Korea suitable for attack
j with the A-Bomb, Willoughby said:
“I would prefer not to answer. In
I any case, I am not prepared to ac
cept this situation as one of a des
perate nature calling for desperate
measures.”
The question was prompted by
President Truman's declaration
Thursday that atomic weapons are
under consideration for use if neces
sary against the Chinese.
New Line Formed
This briefing of war correspond
! ents in Tokyo came as the retreat
ing U.N. forces on the northwest
took positions on a line 30 miles
north of the former Red, Korean
capital, Pyongyang.
Willoughby said prisoners indi
cated the Chinese, possibly under
the command of Red Gen. Lin Piao,
were trying to drive the Allies back
below the 38th parallel—100 air
