CLEVELAND. O., S. pt. «. 'UJT
—Gen. Doughs MacArthur. the
man who wasn't invited to the Ja-
panese peace conference, came
here today to speak his mind a-
hout the treaty and the part it will i
play in the east-west struggle.
Cleveland put on a show for the
Pacific war hero, who |r>d the
peaceful invasion of Japan and
guided the Jannnese toward u
new place in the family of free
nations.
Thousands roared a welcome to
the waving general and his smil-

from Cleveland- Hopkin.- Airport,
along with Gov. F-ri"li J. Lpnsch,. ;

There is no practical way to po-

A San Fraicisro dispatch of the
official news agency Tass asserted
that the American tactics were
causing serious disagreements be-
tween the Uniti d States and some
other countries in the Japanese
treaty conference.
The newspapers all devoted three
columns to the Taas dispatch, as-
serting that the United States was
imposing restrictive rules of pro-

of "a voting machine."

TOKYO, Sept. ti <U.R>—Gen. Mat-
thew B, Ridgway demanded a new
Korean cease-fire conference site
tonight and told the Reds to halt
their "constant deceit" unless they
want to break off the talks for
good.
The United Nations supreme
commander threw bnck at the Reds
as "false and malevolent" their
charges that UN force* had vio-
lated Kaesong's neutrality. The
Reds themselves, he said, manufac-
tured the evidence and he called in
the name of the UN for an end to
"these despicable practices which
have received worldwide condem-
nation."
Ridgway'• message to North Ko-
rean Premier Gen. Kim II Sung
and Communist Chinese tien. Teh
Huai was viewed as a "put up or
shut up" challenge to get the
cease-fire talks going aifr.'.in if the
Reds really want to end the war.
"That you should permit the
forces of your side to indulge in
their constant deceit and invective
is incomprehensible,** Ridgway'*
message said, "unless you have th<
ulterior motive of completely
breaking off negotiations ..."
The message g:vve the Riils no
lecwaj. It eliminated the usual "1
await your reply" because Ridg-
wuy made it clear the only commu-
nication from the Communist® the
UN wishes to consider is one set-
ting • time for discussing another
cease-fin site.
The I'N is ready to meet Com-
munist liaison officers at any time
to "discuss the selection of « new
site." Ridgway si-id. He left it up
to the Reds to prove their desire
ft r pence.
(In Washington, Republican Sen-
ators George D. Aiken. Vermont,
and Milton R. Young, North Da-
kota. also called for movement of
the cease-fire talks from Kaesong.
They suggested Switzerland as a
possible site.) |
Later. Ridgwuv's command head-!
i|uaiters issued a release stating
that "it is obvious that Kaesong. :
situated as it is within the Com |
munist lines and policed solely by
Communist force*, does not pro-
vide the neutral and non-controver-
sial site necessary for satisfactory
discussions between belligerents."

Wheat Variety
Held Importaat
Stephens County wheat produc-
ers are reminded that the wheat
they plant this fall should be a
variety that yields well and prn-
duees a quality product. Accord-
ing to W. R. Lace, county agent,
the strongest wheat market is for
the high quality varities which
are suitable for flour production.
Approximately So per cent of
Texas produced wheat flour is us-
ed hv commercial bakers and the
HU-i'tty. therefore must be good.
The T-*a« Agricultural Experi-
ment Station variety tests show
that the better quality varieties
are also among the highest yield-
ing varities. The varities recom-
mended for the principal wheat
iireris of Texas are Comanche and
W'-stnr for highest yield and qual-
ity. Wichita and Triumph are ear-
lier maturing varities of satisfac-
tory quality. Quanah. a new var-
iety. of excellent quality is spe-
cifically rcommended for the
Rolling Plains. North and Central
Tex-i* areas. Quanah is not winter
hardy enough for Paahandle con-
dition*.
Comanche is more widely adap-
ted than any other variety and i
of the highest quality. It har
found ready acceptance by Steph-
en* County wheat farmers.
It will pay those who arc gainr
to plant wheat te get their seed
now while there is good seed near-
by.

ON THE EASTERN FRONT,
Korea. Sept. ti. U.fT—The hors*
Marines have appeared in thi Ko-
rean war to confiHind the Reds.
The entire unit is a one-horse
affair as yet. But Col. Victor il.
Krulak of the 1st Marine Di' is-
ion mounts the horse for his in-
spection rounds and the admiring
division asserts that if there ar
more where this one come from,
soon every enlisted man will have
his own.
The present steed is a friendly
four-year old which stands 151 u
hands high. He was found wand* r-
ing and wounded when the Jlar-
ineschased the Chinese northward
up this canyon-like valley. He v .is
promptly named Man-O-War be-
cause of his red coat and his line
of work.
He was saddled and bridled
when found. Two fragmentation
wounds in his left foreleg indica-
ted that some Communist officer
was killed in the saddle.
In no time at all the Marines
cured his leg wounds witii a p"
paration intended originally foi
athletes foot. They nursed Man
O-War back to health on ti diet nr
packaged oatmeal, bn ad ends,
chewing gum, cigarets and ehoeo-
late bars. The horse rejected the
soda crackers and chlorinated wa-
ter the Marines drink.
Man-O-Wsr is of st ., k b' e.l b;.
the Japanese in Maucliii a .i • of-
ficers' mounts. He U friendly, o-
bedient and well-trained and .i h.
Ing put through limited jumps as
his J** heals.
There ase many m x* abundo i-
ed anililMn (Mijiis and mules—
roaming the valleys and gorges.
The Marine* are now talking
plans for a fall roundup.
Meanwhile, Man-O-Wnr grazes
contentedly, «sting speculative
eye on the coos tent from which
come hi* chocolate bars and iu-
ets. Artillery fin' doesn't b<itiiei
him. He is definitely a converted
ex-Communist.
MIAMI. Ft a., Sept. ti. T.Ci—The
,-tii'ii season's fifth hurricane
pointed howling l.'So-miles-an-hour
winds in the general direction of
the Florida peninsula todsiy—still
miles and more than three
•iiiv . awn • at its present speed.
The weather bureuu said the
-torn may well veer away from
Florida during the long ocean
^ oyage.
TI • Miami weather bureau said
in a 10:3© a. in. advisory that the
. orm was moving west-northwest.
I - forward motion has slowed
fro to about lti miles per
i'"iir. It was located 44n mile*
no-theast of San Juan, Puerto
Rico. It was east-southi ast of
Miami,
"Continued west-northwest mo-
vement is indicated for the next
^4 hours," the advisory said.
"However, this doesn't mean it
ill defii.it -.y remain on a course
town id Florida." forecaster Leon-
•il Purdue said. "Most every hur-
I'icane ; t one time or another is
headed toward the Floridii pttnin-
*ula."
For the r.ext *J4 hours or more
th" hurricane threatens only ship-
p.n^. Hurricane force winds e*.
ti'mled about 50 miles from the
ci-n.ei- and gale force winds abniir
l.'iO miles out, especially in the
northern semi-circle of the storm,
rhe baiomt ter reading was 28.50
inch'-s.
The San Juan weather buri-au
• tpeeted t" is.-'te ;:u advisory on
ii'.t rieune No. ti ,'ar out in the At-
lantic later today.
Forecasters expected hurricane
No. ."i to continue its westward
eotir*.' for the next 12 to 18 hours,
while slowly expanding in area.
Meantime, No. ti was spotted 1,-
tixi miles off the coast of Africa,
or about 1.700 mile* east of Bri-
ti h Antigua in the Lt'eward Is-

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 9 <U.«
Tin United States delegation to
the Japanese peace confcrcnca held
an eary morning strategy meeting
today tn speed signing of the tre-
aty as Egypt and the Philippine*
prepared to voice reservations on
thi pact.
But Egypt and the Philippine*
expect to sign the treaty this
weekend after putting on tte rec-
ord theit objections to certain fea*
tures.
Egypt .".nnounced in advance it
wa- attending the conference "with
certain reservations." The Egyp-
tian government opposes provision*
that would allow American troop*
to remain in Japun following rati-
fication ot the treaty.
The Philippines will tell the Sa-
nation conference of its desire for
more reparations But the Repub-
lic's fears of revived Japanese
militarism have been allayed by
the American-Philippines defense
treaty signed a week ajpi.
As the morning session began
shortly after 10 a. m.. PDT. (It
a. m. CSTi, neithtr Poland nor
Czechoslovakia had requested
speaking time for today. Russia'*
Andrei Gromyko used up his hour
yesterday and apparently was as-
signed to the role of littla more
than a spectator until all countries
have been heard by Friday night.
The American delegation confer-
red behind closed doors at the Pal-
ace Hotel an hour before the con-
ference was called to order by
Secretary of State Down Aehasoti.
Acheson talked with hia chief
tn aty adviser*, experts on Soviet
affairs and congressional members
of the delegation.
American officials said they
were highly pleased at the rapid
pi ce of events that followed Grn-
myko's defeat in hia attempts to
filibuster the conference. Hopes
were high that the conference
would complete its business at a
good hour on Saturday. If Gro-
myko talk* again, the conference
will have to give its approval by
vote.
The Kremlin representative shot
his wad during initial sessions ami
f <und himself helpless to obstruct
allied progress for the first time
at a post-war international parley.
