The prime minister, in a gen-
review of the Far Eastern

With the sense of urgency
:h which the western nations
treated the need for assist-
ing undeveloped countries in
raising their living standards.
"The trouble with the western
democracies is that they move
too slowly and very often too
late," Laiquat said.
"The immediate need for Asia
is action rather than continued
promises. The people of Asia
want something done. When they
see something starter, their con-
fidence in these nations’ sincere-
ity and their desires to assist
these nations to maintain their
Independence will grow.”
He said one way for the wes-
tern nations to get started was

to put into effect plans already
made by both western and east-
ern countries. The U. S. “point
four” plan for aiding underde-
veloped countries is good, as far

a patient sending for a doctor
who prescribed treatment, which
the patient cannot afford.
The prime minister also said
he thought it would be a great
mistake to use the atom bomb in
Korea because it might make the
international situation even
worse. He also expressed hope
that the Chinese would heed the
13-nation appeal to stop at the
38th parallel.
"1 think it would be wrong to
start with the assumption that
Communist China does not want
peace,” he said.

U.S. Bans War
Materials For
Red Countries
WASHINGTON (UP) -
government has banned
transportation of critical
tcrials in American flag
and planes to any part of the
Communist world, except Yugos-
lavia.
The ban, effective immediate-
ly, so included British Hong
Kong and the neighboring Por-
tuguese port of Maceo because
they are so close to Red China.
Secretary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer issued the new order.
It tightens long-standing restric-
tions on shipments of potential
war materials to Soviet Russia
and her satellite states.
Rs principal effect is to pre-
vent air or ocean carriers from
picking up strategic materials in
foreign ports and delivering
them to Communist countries.
Heretofore American planes and |
ships had been permitted to han-
dle that kind of shipment.!
American ships, for example,
had been transporting oil from
Romania to the Communist bloc.
The so-called critical materials
are all those on the govern-
ment’s “positive list” of goods
on which export licenses hereto-
fore had been required. They in-
clude airms, munitions and other
implements of war. fissionable
materials and a host of other
items which could be used to
power the Communist far ma-
chine.

By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
loud speaker was .sending a re-
corded Christmas carol through-
out the place.
Peace on earth—good will to-
ward men.
The music fell on the ears of
the kids in Ward 35 at Walter
Reed Hospital. A short time ago
they were on the bloody battle-
fields of Korea.
The heat-up soldiers were in
remarkably good spirits. How-
ever. for many who will never
fight or even walk again, the
hurt was still there.
Some of the lads relaxed in
cots, reading comic books. On
the sun porch at the end of the
hall, fellows in bathrobes were
hot at a spirited game of hearts.
On a slope between Ward 35
and the next one. two boys with-
out leg- ngaged in a race —
back wan. -in steel chairs. They
had a small bet up and devil
take anyone who got in their
way.
Maj. Gen. Pa\jl H. Streit. in
command of the Army medical
center, said that the center is
operating at over "authorized ca-
pacity.’’
Rigid, now. there are three
times ns many patients as there
were six months ago. Among
these are some 500 from the Ko-
rean fighting.
“We go from day to day and
couldn’t handle a big new group
of wounded if they came into
the receiving rooms this min-
ute." he said. • Hut don’t get the
I idea that a sick soldier being
brought home for treatment
would lie put up in some hotel
lobby. The Pentagon lias a sys-
tem for handling the men.”
Streit said that the hoys from
the front first are flown to Ha-
waii. There they are catalogued
in code according to their in-
juries. This Information, along
with the total number, is cabled
immediately to Washington.
The Pentagon is advised daily
by all of the service hospitals as
to the surplus of beds.

tee called by Senator Rogers
Kelley, of Edinburg, beginning

Senate Chamber of the Capitol

spread attention throughout
the State.
"We had over tour thousand
copies of our Preliminary Re-
port mimeographed, but the
demand for copies exhausted our
supply during the first week
after its release Kelley said.
“In addition, more than 70
persons and organizations have
indicated their desire to appear
at the hearing and express their
views concerning the Texas Wa-
ter I-aws.
"The genuine interest mani-
fested in this coming hearing is
most encouraging, and after we
have listened to the recommen-
dations of the citizens of Texas
who will give us the benefit of
their ideas concerning the re-
vision of the Water Laws in this
public meeting, the Committee
will be able to prepare its Final
Report for submission to the
Governor and to the Legislature
in a manner that will be of the
greatest benefit to the State,”
Senator Kelley said.
All persons and organizations
who desire to make recommen-
dations to the Committee at its
final hearing in December, were
urged to notify the Executive
Secretary, L. Hamilton Lowe, P.
O. Box 23,31, Capitol Station,

.1 here’s been a lot of talk in recent weeks
about “the buying power of the dollar ’ —
past, present and future.
We can’t foretell the future—but we can
tell you this right now:
You’ll look a long way before you’ll find
a car that offers as much for the money as
you can get in a 1950 Buick.
Close to half a million of these cars have
been built and sold this year.
Close to half a million people have checked
their features and prices against the field
—and decided they’d better buy Buick.
As to prices-they start down below some
sixes. And whether you price the SPECIAL,
the Super or the Roadmaster, you’ll
find, on a cents-per-pound basis, that few
other cars can touch them for value.
And this is for sure! When it comes to
performance—ride —the way they handle
and hold the road—and thrifty use of fuel
and oil— Buicks have never been finer.
That’s another way of saying that coil
springs on all four wheels — Dynaflow*—
torque-tube drive —and Buick’s high-
compression, high-economy Fireball
power produce an out-of-this-worlc’
combination.
So if you want your dollars to do extra
duty—the time to act is now.
1 .ook at the price tags—look at the features
— sample the power and thrill that you
get for your money —and you’ll know
what we mean.
^Dynaflow Drive is standard on liOADiiAs t kk, optional at
extra cost on Sun;rt and Special models.
