[ran Premier Asks
Quick Financial
Kelp from U. S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14— UP) —
Premier Mohammed Mossadegh of
Iran said today he has appealed
for "immediate financial aid” from
the United States to prevent his
country fronj, being "jparalyzed
through lack of funds.”
"Iran’s economic crisis at this
moment is so grave,” he said, “that
no one can be sure of the outcome
unless urgent remedies are found.
The elderly Iranian leader made
the statement in a speech before
the National Press Club which
bristled with denunciations of Brit
ain for trying to block Iran's plan
to nationalize the Anglo-Iran Oil
Company.
Mossadegh, in his prepared text,
definitely reaffirmed his govern
ment's determination to push ahead
with the nationalization program.
The British-Iranian dispute over it
has halted the flow of oil from
Iran for the past four months.
France Cuts Dollar
Area Imports; Faces
Austerity Program
PARIS, Nov. 14—UP)—France join
ed Britain today in announcing a
deep slash on imports from dollar
areas. The cost of rearming and
fighting a war in Indochina against
Communist-led rebels were the main
reasons for the action, which means
France is facing a new period of
austerity.
A cabinet spokesmen said France’s
dollar imports from July, 1951, to
June 30, 1952, will be limited to
$500 million. This represents a 22
Iieii ent cutback, compaAid with
last year, and a 40 percent slash
on what France had hoped to be
able to import.

By DREW PEARSON
"Washington — Mrs. Truman
makes no bones about her desire
to turn the White House over to
new tenants.
At a reception the other day, the
First Lady confided to a friend:
“This is a terrible life. We don’t
have any privacy at all. If I tvant
to go across the hall to see the
President or Margaret, I have to
get dressed up. I can’t just slip a
kimono on, for you never know
who you’ll find in the hall. I’ll be
glad when we get back to Indepen
dence and can live like human be
ings.”
Mrs. Truman said she thought the
government should provide private
living quarters away from the White
House for the First Family; She
was referring, of course, to the fact
that Secret Service vigilance has
been tightened since the attempt on
the President’s life, so that guards
are on every floor of Blair House.

Alaskans Look
I Younger than
iOfher People
i
! WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 — Wl —
: Leave it to a woman to make this
1 discovery: that Alaskans look
I younger than other people.
Mrs. Norma Ruedi Hazeltine, in
; formation officer of the Interior De
l partment’s Bureau of Land Man
i ugement, jotted down the evidence
during a tour of the territory last
summer and fall.
She told members of L’Enfant
Business and Professional Women’s
Club here about it( in an address,
and referred them for further procf
to their clubwomen associates of
Anchorage, Cordova, Juneau, Ket
chikan, Kodiak, Petersburg and
Fairbanks.
“Men and women in Alaska,
even the old-timers, do not show
their age by many years,” she
declared.
"The peoplo of Alaska, especially
the women, have found that some
thing which many of us on the out
side have lost or are in danger of
losing: the joy of living through
worthwhile achievement.
“Call it a philosophy of life, a
reason for life, or what you will, it
seems to act as a fountain of youth.”
Mrs. Hazeltine said labor costs
are so high in Alaska that it is
fashionable for women both in town
and country to do their own work.
She especially admired the farm
women.
“These are women of courage, for
it takes a great deal of that com
modity to make a go of homestead
ing in Alaska,” she said.
“Everywhere I went I found
people with a pioneering spirit
which even now is providing the
impetus and the strength for a
future 49th state.”

Files Open to
Tax Fraud
Investigators
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 — /P) —
Congress members investigating tax
scandals said President Truman
assured them today they can sec all
Justice Department files on tax
fraud casts.
And, in another development
stemming from charges of irregu
larities in the tax collection service,
Revenue Commissioner John B.
Dunlap ordered an investigation of
his own into the Revenue Bureau’s
alcohol tax unit. He said it would
be made by outside agents.
Chairman King (D-Calif), of a
House Ways and Means subcommit
tee, inquiring into misconduct and
corruption in the tax gathering serv
ice, talked with Mr. Truman by

with the necessity for full coopera

King told newsmen.
Truce Talks
May Be
Called Off
| MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 14—W—
1 Communist negotiators challenged
J the allies today to agree to a cease
fire line in Korea now or break off
the truce talks.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, of
ficial UN spokesman, said the chal
lenge was ignored in a welter of
| words that marked today's five
hour and five minute armistice ses
sion.
He said the challenge was made
by Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang,
member of the Red’s twe-man sub
| committee.
Hsieh -; challenge came during
a wrangle over whether a military
demarcation line and buffer zone
shall be established now, as the
Reds insist, or whether the ques
tion shall be postponed until other
armistice questions are settled.
The allies refuse to agree form
ally to a line now, beacuse they say
that would restabiish an immed
iate cease-fire. This, in turn, they
! say, would take military pressure
i off the Reds and enable them to
[ stall on other armistice terms.
Hsieh called this “fantastic talk."
"If that is the course you choose
to follow,” he said, “then why not
stay away.” ,
Nuckols released other quotations
from the Red delegates to show;
1. They want to end the fight
ing r.ow, in the air and on the
sea as well as on the ground. A
UN communique said this became
“unmistakably clear.”.
2. The Reds say there will be
no armistice unless the allies
agree to setting up a military de
marcation line and buffer zone
now.
3. The Reds agree that estab
lishing a buffer zone now would
“mean cease-fire In fact.”
4. The Reds conceded that once
established, a military demarca
tion line should not be changed
later.
Nuchols said the language of ne
gotiations at today’s meeting—the
longest unbroken session they've yet
held—was sharper than it has ever
been. Another meeting was schedul
ed for tomorrow'.
Taft Continues
Hammering at
President
By Associated Press
Senator Taft spoke last night in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, making
attacks on both the foreign and
domestic policies of the Truman
administration.
He said President Truman usurp
ed the power of Congress to wage
the war in Korea, and, said Taft,
"As long as you have that kind
of President, you can never be cer
tain what kind of war you’ll me in."
Here at home Taft contended, the
"President wants to impose. . .sub
stantially the same socialistic sys
tem existing In England today.”
PUSAN, Korea. Nov. 14—m—
The head of the U.S. Eighth
Army’s legal section today said
Reds have killed at least 5,790
United Nations soldier-prisoners—
about 5.500 of them Americans—
and some 250,000 Korean civilians
in atrocities since the start of the
war.
' Col. James M. Hanley of Seattle,
chief of the Army’s Judge Advocate
section, said in a statement that
200 captured U.S. Marines were
killed in a single day — last Dec.
10 — near Sinhung in northeast
Korea.
Sinhung is about 20 miles north
cf Jungnam. Last December rem
nants of the U.S. First Marine Di
vision and the U.S. Seventh Infan
try Division were pulling back to
ward Hungnam port in a bitter
retreat.
Hanley said the Marines were
killed on order of the commander
of the 23rd Regiment, 81st Chi
nese Division.
He said 17 Turkish war prisoners
were slain by Chinese Reds May
15, 1951. near Ynnggu and 12 others
on April 10 near Yonchon.
Hanley said the count of military
prisoners slain did not include South
Korean troops. He gave no esti
mate of these, but indicated the
number was about twice that of
other U.N. soldiers killed by Red
captors.
Civilian men, women and child
ren were slaughtered, Hanley said,
without trial or even a formal
death sentence.
He said 700 civilians were driven
into the horizontal shaft of a gold
mine near Haeju, 80 miles south
east of the North Korean capital of
Pyongyang, on Sept. 26, 1950, bound
and gagged and dropped down a
vertical shaft. They were left to
die. he said.
Four hundred more were given a
the same treatment on Oct. 9, |
1950, Hanley said. Three days i
earlier, he said, still another 400
were bound, gagged and buried
alive in three big holes at Haejq
airport.
Hanley said his statement had
‘nothing to do with the cease-fire
negotiations” at Panmunjom.
He accused the Reds of making
a sham of the Geneva Convention
on treatment of prisoners of war.
The United Nations, he said, cared
for the Reds it captured “in com
plete accordance witji the Geneva,
agreement."
“None of the Communist war pris-'
oners have been killed by us,” he
added.

Alaska Woman
Found Guilty
By S. F. Jury
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14—W—
A Superior Court jury convicted a
41-year-old Alaska real estate wo
man yesterday of passing a worth
less $100 check at a San Francisco
hotel.
The defendant, Mrs. Audrey Cut
ting of Anchorage, was ordered to
appear December 12 for a report on
possible probation. Maximum pen
alty is a year in jail or 14 years
in prison.
Mrs. Cutting testified in her de
fense that checks the state said
were worthless should have been
covered by proceeds of a mortgage
that was supposed to be deposited
in her Anchorage account.
Police Inspector Alfred J. Torrie
testified that when he arrested Mrs.
Cutting she told him she had only
$50 but some property that could
be sold to cover the checks. Torrie
added that she admitted the three
she passed were no good.
During her extended trip to the
states, Mrs. Cutting testified, she
had cashed numerous checks in
Seattle, New York, Washington, D.
C., and Albuquerque, N. M., and
that so far as she knew all had
been honored.
The checks in question were cash
ed in August and Mrs. Cutting was
arrested in October, when she plead
ed innocent.
Mrs. Cathlna Ahlstrand of San
Francisco, with whom the defendant
has been staying, testified Mrs.
Cutting was the owner of extensive
gold, copper and coal properties in
Alaska and did not need to cash
bad checks.
Superior Judge Twain Michelsen
presided over the case.

Answer Talk
By General
SEATTLE, Nov. 14—Wl—The Uni
versity of Washington announced
today it would give an administra
tion supporter a chance to reply
to General Douglas MgcArthur's
blistering attack on politics of Pre
sident Truman.
University President Raymond B.
Allen made the offer after Demo
crats aimed criticism at Mac
Arthur, Greater Seattle, Inc., and
the University for the General's
on-campus speech last night.
Allen said the University “has no
desire to take sides in these mat
ters,” and explained that the speak
er had not even been selected at
the time Greater Seattle, Inc., was
granted use of the University pav
ilion for .last night’s Centennial
celebration event.
Democratic criticism ranged from
Charges of demogoguery to de
mands for a public apology for
"converting the celebration Into a
Republican political rally."
Rep. Henry Jackson (D-Wash)
said the speech “sounded mdre like
the 100th anniversary of opponents
of the Truman administration.” He
called it a "breach of good man
ners.”

M'Arthur Says
Truman Leads
Nation to Ruin
SEATTLE, Nov. 14—(AP>—General
Douglas MatM'thur told Seattle
and the nation last night that the
Truman Administration is following
a policy which, if continued, can
lead to the ruination of the country.
The General devoted only three
minutes of a 45 minute address to
the Seattle Centennial which he was
invited here to open and to which
labor groups had urged him to con
fine his remarks. But he referred
frequently to the pioneer spirit aud
attitude in his blistering attack on
the federal government.
He never mentioned Mr. Tru
man or the Democratic Party by
name—but he left no doubt that
he felt the "ruinous processes" of
which he spoke could be halted
only by a change of administra
tion.
“The people have it in their
hands,” he declared in his speech
which was nationally broadcast,
“to restore morality, wisdom and
vision to thp direction of our for
eign and domestic affair.’,.”
And immediately one of the men
who had asked him to refrain from
discussing politics while opening
tlie city's 100th anniversary pro
gram charged him with being a
candidate for President of the Uni
ted States.
The charge was made by Cong
ressman Hugh Mitchell (D-Wash)
in a statement issued within min
utes after the general concluded
his talk on the University of Wash
ington campus — where political
speakers normally are banned.
“I have long suspected that Mac
Arthur fancied himself in the role
ns the Republican nominee. I am
more firmly of that opinion after
listening to him tonight," Mitchell
said.
MacArlhur tpld the 0,000 per
son- who squeezed into the Uni
versity’s athletic paviiian that
what he termed the Administra
tions' blunders are leading to a
third world war, its domestic pol
icies arc drifting into socialism
and spending and taxing are im
periling the whole structure of the
Republic.
“Expenditure upon expenditure,
extravagance upon extravagance
have so burdened our people with
taxation and fed the forces of in
flation, that our traditionally high
standard of life has become largely
fictitious and illusory," he said.
The speech climaxed a half day
of participation in centennial open
ing ceremonies, which included tra
vel along a 20-mile route lined by
a crowd estimated by Police Chief
George Eastman at 300,000. It was
the largest crowd in the history of
the city.
The University pavilion was pack
ed for the address but a crowd
which had been expected to fill a
sizeable portion of the adjoining
55,000 seat stadium failed to mat
erialize when a drizzling downpour
set in.
MacArthur Greets
Returning Troops;
They Honor Him
SEATTLE. Nov. 14 — <JPI — Gen.
Douglas MacArthur welcomed home
coming troops from Korea for the
first time today with a heartfelt
"well done.”
He spoke briefly to the cheering
fighting men crowding the rails of
the transport Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey
in a dockside ceremony.
And he said:
"Whatever criticism there may
be with reference to the Korean
war, none pertains to the fighting
men.”
As the tlansport inched into its
berth, a mass roar rose from the
troops when they spotted the gen
eral and wife waiting to greet them.

Corporation of Juneau, Alasku, to
collect a $730,000 Judgment against
the International Longshoremen’s
and Warehousemen's (ILWU) Union
and its local at Juneau was upheld

yesterday;
The Judgment, by District Judge

Gov. Warren
To Seek GOP ,
Nomination
Administration Change
Needed for Country's
Welfare, Warren Says
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 14 — (iW —
Republican Governor Earl Warren
of California entered the 1962 presi
dential race today.
The 60-year-old Warren, his
party’s candidate for vice president
in 1948, announced his decision to
seek the GOP presidential nomina
tion in a 400 word statement which
asserted.
"There must, for the welfare of
our country, be a change In na
tional administration, but If this
Is to be, the Republican party
must present a definite construc
tive and workable program for the
nation.
“We can not hope to wfg solely
on the mistakes of the present SB
year administration, many though
they are.”
The third term governor agreed
to head a favorite son ticket of na
tional convention delegates In Cali
fornia’s primaries next June.
"I am giving thought to what ex
tent I shnll urge my candidacy in
other states before the convention,”
lie said in the statement he read
slowly to newsmen.
A rival Republican faction hopes
to field an uninstructed slate in
California, but Warren—tagged as
the strongest dark horse by Senator
Richard Nixon (R-Calif)—already
has the pledged support of most of
tnc state party leaders.
The six foot one inch Californian
who has campaigned in the state
as a Progressive, thus became the
second presidential prospect of
either party fo declare himself.
Senator Robert A. Taft (ft-Ohio)
announced first — Just about a
month ago. He and Warren have
differed politically at times. Taft
so far has Indicated he’ll stay out
cf California primaries.
Before Warren began to read his
announcement, a newsman asked
whether he agreed with Taft’s
statement that we are fighting a
useless war in Korcn.
The governor replied that’s not
a matter to discuss today — that
he would go into it Some other
time.
