Electors Split Over
Change in System
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (—An
age-old controversy arose anew to-
day as the SS1 members of the na-
tion's Electoral College prepared
to elect the next president of the
United States on Monday.
It is no secret that the new presi-
dent will be a balding. 62-year-old
soldier with a famous grin who led
the Allied armies to victory in Eu-
rope in World War II.
But it won't be official that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower is the presi-
dent-elect until the electors of the
Electoral College meet on Monday
and formally cast their ballots.
Barring some totally unexpect-
ed development, Eisenhower will
Mystery Deepens
On UN Spy Story
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Dec.
14 W—United Nations officials re
mained silent today and deepened
the mystery over two highly-placed
Russian employee, one of them
fired after being accused by the
U. S. State Department of attempt-
ed espionage.
The fired employe was Nikolai
Skvortsov, who was confidential
assistant to the highest-ranking So-
viet national in the U. N., Assistant
Secretary-General Constantin E.
Zinchenko. Both handled security
council affairs. Including political
aspects of atomic and armaments
control.
BOTH ON LEAVE
Both Skvortsov and his former
boss went to Russia on home leave
last July and were due back here
for the opening of the General As
sembly.
But the U. S. State Department
announced it bad instructed the
U. S. Embassy in Moscow to re-
fuse Skvortsov a visa to return to
the United States because he was
guilty of spy attempts while he
was here.
No explanation waa given for
Zinchenko's failure to return and
a U. N. spokesman said there
would be no comment on it. There
were some reporta here that Zin-
chenko had fallen into disgrace
with the Kremlin.
Top-level aides of U. N. Secre-
tary-General Trygve Lie, after
long conferences tost night and to-
day. decided sgainst releasing now
the correspondence which resulted
in Skvortsov’s dismissal. ---
CONTRACT ENDED
A U. N. explanation, given be-
fore a State Department spokes-
man made the announcement to
Washington concerning his visa,
waa that since Skvortsov was un-
able to return to the U. S., his
salary could not continue, and his
contract was “terminated ”
This skirted sround the subver-
sion accusation levelled against
the Russian by the State Depart-
ment. It also refrained from con
fileting with a previous statement
by Byron Price, assistant secre-
tary-general to charge of the
U. N a staff of 4.000. that non-
10TH OF ACREAGE
Farmers' Tithes
Fill 2 Washtubs
ABERNATHY, Tex., Dec. 14
—In accordance with the Scrip-
tures, a group of Abernathy farm-
ers brought their tithes into the
house of the Lord today.
What they brought filled two
washtubs with $14,132.65 to cash
and checks- money from the har-
vest on the land they dedicated to
God last spring. Each farmer
dedicated cue-tenth of Ms sereage
The two tuba stood beside two
bales of cotton symbol of the har-
vest—to the little First Baptist
Church of Abernathy this morn-
"he church has 500 members.
Last spring their pastor, the
Rev. C. A Kennedy, 35, asked
them to dedicate one-tenth of their
land to God and see what the re-
turns would be.
The Rev. Kennedy said that the
farmers who dedicated their land
had ‘‘phenomenal respite"
“There is Albert Hart, with five
acres dedicated,” the pastor said
He called me to Ma farm late
in the summer to show that all
Ma acreage waa bountiful, but on
the dedicated land, the cotton stood
12 to 13 Inches higher than the rest
and yielded a bale and three-quar-
ters per acre compared with an
average yield of one bale per acre
on his other land
"He asked me why.
“Why? In Malachi 3:10, it says:
Bring Ye all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be
meat to mine house and prove me
now herewith, saith the Lord of
Hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven and poor you
out a Messing, that there shall not
be room enough to receive it.”
"That to why.” ___

Quick Action
Seen on Wage
Case Backlog
By NORMAN WALKER
WASHNGTON, Dec. 14 UB —
Quick action on a backlog of 12,000
pay increases awaiting government
okay was expected today under a
revamped wage stabilization setup.
President Truman, unable to get
replacements for resigned Industry
members of the Wage Stabilization
Board, instructed Economic Star
bilizer Roger Putnam to go ahead
with the wage control program
anyway.
Putnam, in turn, designated four
public members of the crippled
WSB to handle pay control. They
are expected to give the WSB’s
staff broader authority to clear
pending cases than the staff has
had under a wage board of publie,
industry and labor members.
WIDE LEEWAY
emerge the winner by a count of
442 electoral votes to E for Gov,
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois,
the unsuccessful Democratic can-
didate.
Even after the Electoral College
votes, the final official seal of ap-
proval will not be applied until
Congress meets on Jan. 4 and the
preaiding officer of the Senate tolls
off the electors' votes.
DIVIDED ON ISSUE
In advance of those formalities,
an Associated Press survey shows
that the electors themselves are di-
vided on the issue of Junking the
college an an out-moded relic of
the paat or preserving it as a hal-
lowed tradition set up by the found-
ing fathers.
Cries of “obsolete'’ and “ar-
chaic” were countered by argu-
ments that the Electoral College
represents a time-honored custom
and should be guarded against any
new-fangled changes.
Several electors said they be-
lieve the time has come to discard
the college and let the nation’s
voters elect the president by direct
popular vote.
Others favor retaining the pres-
ent system, but with modifications
permitting s split of electoral votes
within states. Instead of one candi-
date getting all of a state's elec-
toral votes even if he wins the
state by just a few popular votes,
as at present some believe the
electors. - -.......
according to popular votes.
Both changes would require a
revision of the Constitution.
However, neither change would
have made any difference in the
present circumstances, since El-
renbower rolled up s margin of
more than six million popular
votes over Stevenson to the Nov. 4
election.
The final official vote showed
Eisenhower with a total of 33,927,-
549 to Stevenson's 27,311,316.

One such delegation of authority
—giving the staff wider leeway to
approving “fringe" benefits such
as improved vacation, holiday and
shift allowances—is understood to
be on Putnam's desk awaiting sig-
nature.
Thla, along with other broader
delegations of power, possibly deal-
ing with pay levels and other mat
ters, would permit the WSB staff
to make faster progress in dispos-
ing of pending cases.
There is no official estimate of
how many workers are involved to
the backlog of pending canes. Each
caae represents a collective bar-
gaining agreement between a union
and an employer. Figuring the av-
erage case as Involving 100 work-
ers, the number involved in all
cases would exceed a million This
may be a conservative figure, as
one single case concerns more
than 300,000 electrical workers.
Putnam has expressed determi-
nation against letting pay In-
creases get out of hand. Thus,
broader approval standards grant-
ed the WSB staff may be well with-
in what the WSB would have ap-
proved anvwav.
NO PRECEDENT
Putnam has promised not to let
the pay raise recently approved
by President Truman for coal min-
ers become a precedent for higher
wage boosts all along the line. Tru-
man touched off the present nav
controls crisis by approving a full
$1.90 a dar raise for John I.. Lewis’
miners after the WSB had ruled
that tmly 1150 could be allowed
without exceeding inflation curbs.
Industry members quit after
Truman’s reversal of the WSB
PUBLIC HAZY
Counting other parties with a
combined total of 308,000, the final
tally was a record - smashing
61.547,861.
The public generally is pretty
hazy about the whole electoral sys-
tem. and the electors themselves
are sharply divided on whether to
junk the present college, and If so
what alternate plan should be sub-
stituted.
A spot survey of electors in
about a dozen states showed that
among the 1B who would be quoted.
24 favored a change of some sort,
12 wanted to retain the present
system, and two recommended a
study.
Of the 24 favoring a change. 11
came out flatly for election of a
president by popular vote, two for
a proportional split and 11 merely
tor a change of some sort.
The survey indicated no sectional
trend. In Georgia, for example, six
said they favored retention of the
college: three wanted a change:
in Pennsylvania four wanted a
change, two no change: Maine two
to one in favor of a change.

Acheson Blamed in Iranian
Parliament for Oil Troubles
By MARC PURDUE
TEHRAN, Iran, Dec 14 (n—A
high Iranian government official to
a bristling parliamentary address
today blamed moat of Iran's woes
on a policy “‘imposed” by U. S.
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
He said American sympathy for
Iran in the bitter oil dispute with
the British had been nullified by
Acheson’s actions
Hussein Maki, secretary-general
of Premier Mohammed Mossa-
degh’s Nationalist party and a
close confidant of the Premier, ac-
eused Acheson of blocking an Ira-
nian steps to remedy the situation
He charged Acheson prevented
prospective American customers
from buying Iranian oil and of act-
ing under the influence of the big
American companies which, he
said, era members of sn interne
tional cartel of five American and
two British firms.
Deputy Speaker Seyid Ahmed
Razavi interposed to ash how Maki
could expert a change to American
policy under the new government
since the same big companies sp-
€
ported President-elect Elsenhower,
Maki replied that he had no ex
peetations the new U. S govern-
ment would do anything in Iran's
favor. He said Iran must attempt
to make its nearly bankrupt econ-
omy healthy without oil income
"Damn the oil which jeopardizes
our independence What we want
from Democrats or Republicans to
only that they should not co-oper-
ate with British policy.
Iran's economy has been hard
hit since Mossadegh nationalised
the vast holdings of the British-
controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Com-
pany last year Last week Ameri-
can firms were told by the U. S.
State Department that If they want
to buy oil from Iran they may do
so, a their own risk of legal en-
tanglement with the British
The British say they have a firm
claim to the oil pending final set-
tlement of the dispute and have
threatened prospective buyers with
legal artton to any court of the
world if they attempt to move the
Maki recently returned from the
$
United Mates in an apparently un-
successful attempt to interest
smaller oil companies in buying
oil since his return, local news-
papers have quoted him as saying
that he had documentary proof
that the U. 8. State Department
aided the fall of the Mossadegh re-
gime last July when Premier Ah-
med Qavam ruled briefly. After
three days of bloody rioting Qavam
quit and Mossadegh again took up
the reins.
The U. S. Embassy yesterday is-
sued a denial
In his speech today, Maki said
he had been misquoted in the local
press But he said he obtained In-
formation in Texas that Acheson
had "instructed" Texas oil engi-
neers and other technicians to
leave for Abadan Immediately aft-
er Qavam became Premier. Aba-
dan to Iran’s big oil refinery
center.
“This shows Churchill and Ache-
son were collaborating to bring
Quvam to power," he told the
deputies.
'Full Justice'
CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 14 —
Egyptian Premier Maj. Gen. Mo-
hammed Naguib declared tonight
that “awakening Arabs demand
full Justice and Independence" and
"know how to attain their aims."
His statement followed a speech
earlier tonight by Naguib's visitor
of state. Syrian strong man and
Deputy Premier Col. Adib Shish-
ekly. Shishekly, speaking at a
dinner in his honor, called for a
unified Arab world strong enough
"to impose its policy sad dictate
its will” to the Middle East
Prior to the dinner Shishekly and
Naguib reviewed a two-hour pa
rade of Egypt’s armed forces.
PREDICTS STRUGGLE
Naguib referred to Shishekly's
prediction that Egyptian and Sy-
rian blood will mix again to the
struggle for liberty for the Arabs
and said:
-I believe our blood is nothing
but the blood of our great patriotic
a neestors who perished while
struggling for the liberty of our
countries. This blood is calling
upon us to shed again on the sitar
at liberty if we are denied (the
right) to live free.”
Naguib said "Imperialists no
longer have any place to the Arab
world,” adding:
“In this crucial time to which
two of the strongest world powers
are wrestling with each other, it
must be understood that thia part
at the world belongs to its people.”
He reiterated Shishekley's state-
ment that the Araba henceforth
will seek the friendship of all na-
tions without giving priority to any
unless such a course is dictated
by Arab interests
Naguib declared the Araba are
"determined to resist with all our
power and faith any power block-
ing our way. We can no longer
accept trusteeship from anyone.”
He emphasised that the Arabs
will grant their friendship only to
countries that believe in Justice
and freedom end win "hit tenfold
stronger against any aggressor."
Shishekly and Naguib are two
of the most powerful military fig-
ures to the Arab world Naguib
forced the abdication of Egypt’s
King Farouk and took over as the
country's hoes within the past six
months. Shishekly, chief of staff of
the Syrian Army and the real
power to that country, has been
to the saddle since he led s blood,
ten coup hi November, 1951.
Syria and Egypt were among
the Arab nations Israel defeated
to win independence. _

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 W—Presi-
dent-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower
returned today from his historic
21,000-mile trip to the Korean bat-
tlefields and the Pacific with “re-
newed confidence that a satisfac-
tory solution to Korea can be
speeded.”
He said his 14 - day journey
“marts not the end but the begin-
ning of a new effort” to bring an
honorable end to the Korean fight-
ing.
“This is not the moment to state
more than that resolve,” he de-
clared. "For we face an enemy
whom we cannot hope to impress
by words, however eloquent, but
only by deeds—executed under cir-
cumstances of our own chousing.”
FORMAL STATEMENT
The general's hopes and his re-
solve stemming from his first-hand
survey of the war in Korea were
outlined in a formal statement
handed to newsmen shortly after
he alighted from the big Air Force
Constellation that landed him at
LaGuardia Field at 2:02 p.m., EST.
Eisenhower said a solution to
Korea "will demand common
senae and care, much foresight
and much patience." And he
added:
“But no more to Korea than any-
where else to the world la honora-
ble peace beyond the power of free
men to achieve when they pursue
it intelligently and energetically.”
"I believe that the architects of
aggression can be made to realize
that it would be fateful folly to Ig-
nite other conflagrations like the
Korean conflict elsewhere to the
world.
’CAN SAVE PEACE’
Maurice H. Babb, owner of
Babb's Hot Rod Shop at 1227 Wal-
nut St . reported to police Sunday
that about 51.000 worth of racing
equipment waa stolen from his
shop sometime Saturday night.
Capt. W. B. McDonald, city de-
tective, said he waa investigating
Sunday night, but no leads had
been found.
Babb told a reporter that he
left the shop about 6 p.m. Satur.
day and returned about 8:30 a.m.
Sunday to discover the theft of
the expensive racing equipment.
He said that it was a “hand
picked" job in which the burglar
took only the moot expensive
equipment. "They knew what they
were doing,” be said, "because
they picked equipment for only
certain types of ears.”
About $5 to small change waa
taken from the cash register.
"They didn’t bother any checks
or anything,” he said
Babb said be was going to offer
a reward for information leading
to the return of the equipment
He did not have Insurance on the
stolen equipment.
He said the lock on the door to
the shop had been broken off and
then neatly replaced after the bur-
glary.
ual preparedness, in our embattled
world, is as necessary as physical
armament. A free citizenry expect-
ing its soldiers honorably to face
the enemy must, itself, honestly

Secretary of State-designate John
Foster Dulles, who accompanied
Eisenhower on the flight home,
told newsmen the statement would
be the only one the President-elect
would make on his Korean trip.
CHEERING CROWD
Smiling, Eisenhower doffed bis
hat to a small, cheering crowd on
hand at the airport for his arrival.
Among those who met him were
Harold Stassen, mutual security
administrator-designate, and Gov.
Sherman Adams of New Hamp-
shire, who will be an assistant to
the president in the new adminis-
tration.
Eisenhower said that any public
report be would make on his trip
would be “naturally limited."..,
"Until I assume the office of the

Creeping Blockade
Looms for Berlin
By TOM REBOY
BERLIN, Dec. 14 III — Allled In-
formants said today they see
mounting evidence of a creeping
squeeze on Berlin, perhaps a new
type of blockade
British officers who have been
analyzing a aeries of recent Rus-
sian zone moves asserted the East
seems to be gearing itself for a new
all-out drive to Isolate West Berlin
U. 8. authorities agreed, and
added they believe the blow being
prepared is to be timed with
Bonn’s ratification of the Western
European Defense Treaty.
The Communist moves have been
spread out so that any single day’s
developments are likely to be Ig-
nored or minimised But this to
what they have been doing over the
past month: ___
ERECT ABUTMENTS
1. Erecting a series of stone and
concrete abutments at each cross-
ing point between West Berlin and
the surrounding Russian sone
Z imprisoning or forcibly eject-
mg "lukewarm" or suspected anti-
communist people from border
villages.
3. Forcing West Berlin ears
which enter the Russian sector to
undergo stringwit inspection and
risk confiscation Compelling East
Berlin automobiles 'their own) to
obtain special permits to drive into
the West sectors.
4 Imposing new controls on pas-
sengers of the inter-city subway
and the elevated trains which are
operated by the East
MORE POLICE
5. Vastly Increasing the size of
ths Communist police forces
spread along ths Soviet sector
herder, as well as those on the
zonal frontier.
The tightened police checks have
discouraged inter-city travel con-
siderably, which appears to be pre-
cisely what the Communists want
Senior Allied officers said they
have beard reports that the East
as soon as the Bonn pacts are rat-
ified, intends virtually to ring
West Berlin. The stone abutments
are clearly to be used as founda-
tion posts for chains or barbed
wire. There to some fear that the
East will also cut off the subway
and elevated trains, completely
paralyzing West Berlin's public
transport system and its million
daily riders.
TIPS ITS HAND
Ths Red strategy tipped its hand
somewhat to the past week with a
few sly suggestions in the East
Berlin press that occupation troops
should withdraw from all Berlin.
This la the first time in many
months that old Soviet-Communist
slogan appeared. If the customary
system la followed, the theme
should soon be blown up into a
full-scale campaign and when the
troops fall to leave, of course, the
squeeze tactics are Impneed on the
German population. Communists
have a habit under such circum-
stances, of then blaming the West-
era Powers for any hardships that
result
A completetv “frozen” situation
on West Berlin s border with both
the Russian zone and the East Ber-
lin sector should mean that more
food must be shipped in from West
Germany. The number of trains al-
lowed by the Russians la fixed
Their highway controls prevent an
increase in track traffic for purely
practical reasons. The canals are
uncertain means of transport in
winter. Only airlift remains.
