NEW YORK, Nov. 9 (AP).
The 51 United Nations delega-
tions, cheered by Senator Ar-
thur H. Vandenberg’s Repub-
lican party assurance of an
unchanged American foreign
policy geared to the U. N.
search for peace, turned out
today to take in three new
member nations and continue
their quest for a permanent
headquarters.
First reaction to Vandenberg’s
post-election pledge of whole-
hearted American cooperation
with the U. N. was entirely fa-
vorable and it was looked upon
as a promise that the incoming
majority party in congress had no
intention of fostering any vestige
of isolationism
Vandenberg, himself approach-
ing the topmost level among
American foreign policy-makers,
stated an apparent adherence to
the bi-partisan character of the
United States’ policy in interna-
tional affairs.

Before the meeting opened both
the Communists and the third

pressed doubt that Chiang Kai-
Shek’s Surprise truce order Fri-
day would help much in healing
the wounds of civil conflict.
A Communist statement as-
serted a provisio that govern-
ment armies would fire only to
protect themselves would serve
“as a pretext for all kinds of mili-
tary operations.”
Lo Lung-Chi, league spokesman,
said it was doubtful Chiang’s de-
cision offered “any pathway for
the Communists or the third par-
ty” to participate in the national
assembly opening Tuesday.
The generalissimo has called the
assembly to write China’s consti-
tution. So far both the Commu-
nists and the league have refused
to name delegates, insisting first
on armistice.
Sun Fo, president of the legisla-
tive yuan (council) and son of the
founder of the Chinese republic,
was scheduled to address today’s
session with the Communist and
league representatives.
Among other things, he was ex-
pected to urge the two groups to
take part in the assembly, and to
attempt to allay their doubts as to
the government’s sincerity.
Chiang, in his order of the day
to his armies, directed them "re-
main at your respective positions
in order to show the government's
sincerity and patience in achiev-
ing peace."
The order covered government
armies spread over a half a dozen
fronts, from the Yangtze river in
North China to Manchuria.

First Violence to Occur
On Jewish Sabbath Day
Shakes Old Jerusalem
JERUSALEM, Nov. 9 (A)
Three British policemen were
killed, one was seriously'Wounded
and several Jewish civilians were
hurt early today when a booby
trap exploded during a surprise
raid on a suspected arms dump in
the Bukharian quarter of Jerusa-
lem.
An unofficial source said the
heavy explosion, which occurred
at 6:20 a. m. and was heard
throughout the city, was caused
by a booby trap connected to a
door behind which some time ago
an arms dump of Irgun Zvai
Leumi, Jewish underground or-
ganization, was believed hidden.
Police said the surprise raid
was made as a result of mysteri-
ous information received by au-
thorities last night.
Material damage was small, ex-
cept at one nearby house, where
a part of the ceiling fell, injuring
several Jews sleeping there.
The booby trap, it was learned,
consisted of an explosive charge
of gelignite and amolite in a pet-
rol can, bricked up in the wall,
and a wire was attached to the
Forecasted 1,700,000 Is
Smallest Crop Since
1889, USDA Claims
AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 9 (AThe
United States Department of Ag-
riculture estimate of Texas’ ex-
pected cotton crop for 1946 today
tumbled 50,000 bales below ex-
pectations a month ago.
The new forecast is for 1,700,000
bales of 500 pounds gross weight,
the smallest crop harvested in
Texas since 1889.
Harvested yield per acre is
placed at 135 pounds, 31 pounds
below average and the poorest per
acre yield produced in the state
since the drouth year of 1936.
Most of the reduction in pros-
pective production from a month
ago came in East Texas and in
the blackland counties where
much of the crop has been un-
usually poor and where the ef-
fects of damage from insects and
adverse weather conditions were
not fully reflected in earlier re-
ports.
USDA said all areas of the state
are producing an exceptionally
small cotton crop except the irri-
gated areas in the lower valley
and extreme West Texas, where
production this year will exceed
all previous records.

Regardless of Party in
Power, U. S. Still Seeks
Peace, Senator Says
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9
(AP). — Supporters of Rep.
Charles A. Halleck of Indiana
claimed today the job of hou-e
Republican floor leader in the
80th congress “is in the bag ’
for the 46-year-old Hoosier.
Friends of Rep. Clarence Brown
countered promptly that the 57-
year-old Ohioan “has it all sewed
up.”
The contest goes on against a
background of jockeying for ad
vantage in the campaign for the
1948 Republican presidential
nomination.
Halleck backers say election of
Brown would give Senator Robert
A. Taft and the state of Ohio enj
tirely too much weight in the newj
congress. Taft, already in line for
the senate leadership, is one ofi
the GOP presidential hopefuls
and Brown is regarded as a mem-
ber of his camp.
Neither Halleck nor Brown has
fficially announced his candidacy
for the No. 2 majority spot in ths
next house, where the top post
of speaker already has been ear- 4
marked for Rep Joseph W Mar-
tin, Jr , of Massachusetts
But colleagues of both ar
working avidly behind the scenes,
and in the case of Halleck, at
least, have sent letters to all Re-
publican representatives-elect re-
questing their support Similar
letters are expected to be forth*
coming from Brown’s lieutenants.
Halleck’s friends claim he is en-
titled to the leadership both by
seniority and tradition. He hall
been in congress four years long-
er than Brown and has been
chairman of the Republican Con
gressional Campaign' committee, a
post held by Martin before he
became Republican floor leader
The Brown forces insist he mer
its the job because he directed the
campaign which put Republican#
in control of congress in last
Tuesday's elections.
A dark horse, Rep. Thomas
Jenkins of Ohio, is out to beat
both Halleck and Brown.

What About Ceilings?
Sooner or later the cost of liv-
ing will again decline. If labor
plays fairly, it will be willing
to take a cut in wages, as living
costs decline, to offset the in-
creased wages which it has been
given as living costs have in-
creased. But whether or not this
happens, labor, before long, will
do better work and give much
more for an hour’s wage. This
will apply to all wage workers,
beginning with those who cut the
trees, in the woods for the lum-
ber. Hence, those who can wait
before buying a new house, should
surely do so. The present $10,000
ceiling is not helping.
Now, a word regarding rent
ceilings. It may be wise to con-
tinue rent ceilings on pre war
houses although they should be
adjusted to provide for the in-
creased cost of upkeep, etc. But
there should be no rent ceilings
on new houses built for renting.
Otherwise, very few houses will
be built to rent and the nation
will suffer.
Farm Investment
The subsistence farm which
produces only enough to feed the
family, pay taxes and hire a man,
but Where the owner has a posi-
tion or business on the outside,
is holding firm in price. This is
especially true in the case of
property within a mile or two of
a church, stores, post office,
schools, etc. Real estate people
are looking up such property
with the idea of cutting it up into
a subdivision of five or ten acres.
While on my trip, I purchased
two 160-acre farms. Both of these
I can rent at a figure to pay taxes
and give me 4 per cent on my in-
vestment. This is good enough
these days with the security
which a good farm offers. In one
instance, the farm was within
walking distance of a city of 5,000
population. I consider this a safe
investment considering the excel-
lent soil, drainage and location
on a bus line.
Farming States
During this trip I found an in-
stinctive desire of farmers to
want to move in a southerly di-
rection. Farmers in Minnesota are
selling and buying farms in Kan-
sas, Iowa and Missouri; while
farmers in these central states
are selling and buying farms in
Oklahoma, Texas and perhaps
Kentucky.
Although the general move-
ment during the past fifty years
has been westward, I think it is
now directed southward, al-
though, of course, California is
the looked-for heaven of most
farm housewives. For retired
