One Republican. Senator Flanders of Vermont, said that President Truman has outwitted the GOP by grabbing a prime 1948 political issue the high cost of living before Republicans awakened to its voter appeal. Flanders and Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) revealed in separate interviews that Republican lawmakers are drafting anti-inflation plans to match those which will be offered by Mr. Truman to the special session of Congress opening November. 17.

At a closed session of the 19-member Foreign Aid Committee headed, by Secretary of Commerce Harriman, it was learned meanwhile, a demand for food allocations at the producer and distributor levels was made by Chester Davis, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and Wartime Food Administrator. By regulating the flow of wheat, corn and other foods into the hands of industry and exporters, the administration mignt hope to curtail total demand and thus indirectly depress prices while simultaneously earmarking quantities for Europe. In the wake of Mr. Truman's broadcast plea last night for "prompt and courageous action" by Congress to combat inflation and provide an estimated $1,072,000,000 program of foreign aid this winter, came these developments: 1.

A nine-member House Committee from Europe, declared "continued aid should be immediately furnished." Seven of the signers of the statement, including Chairman Dewey Short of Missouri, are I Harriman -Committee, worklne on the long-ran- iar shlli was reported ia be ar riving at th conclusion that it cannot make any appreciable net cut in the $22,400,000,000 request delivered by 16 European countries. 3. At least 95 percent of the distilling industry whisky makers and industrial alcohol manufacturers alike are shutting down tonight for 60 days to conserve grain. Chairman Charles Luckman of the Citizens Food Committee announced. 4.

Three-dollar wheat fell off the board of the Chicago Grain Ex change, in further apparent response to Mr. Truman's special-session proclamation and the threat of government control. Wheat -for December delivery dropped to $2.97 at the close. 5. Some 90 business, labor and government leaders including a high proportion of advertising men were invited to an "off-the-rec-ord" meeting at the White House Monday by Presidential Assistant John R.

Steclman. The plan was said to be to swap ideas on foreign aid. 6. The Commerce Department's national summary of business conditions reported that wholesale prices in October kept their high September levels, wheat hit a new high, and butter, corn and meats declined presumably in response to Mr. Truman's voluntary, "self-denial" campaign among consumers.

Oct. 25 The United Nations Political Committee tonight refused to send Russia's "warmonger" resolution to a drafting sub-committee, thus handing the Soviet Union a setback in the first test ballot on Moscow's key plan before the 1947 General Assembly. The vote was 29 to 12 with four Latin American countries, India and Ethiopia joining the Soviet bloc in the minority. As a result, the Soviet resolution will now come before the 57-nation committee for vote on, Monday with delegates saying there was no chance of passage. Othei ballots will be taken on the Australian, French and Canadian versions which run virtually counter to the Soviet proposal.

Dr. Carlos Stolk, of Venezuela, rponsor of the sub-committee motion, said he felt that delegations who opposed the step did not wish to conciliate the differences between Russia and other countries. Czechoslovakia asked for ad-jourrment immediately after the ballot, Russia agreea and their appeal carried over British objections, 33 to 9. In the last hour before the test vote.

6 H. Forest Fires Rage Relentlessly Across Northeastern States BOSTON, Oct. 25. (J') Flames razed most of the tiny Maine village of Dayton tonight and swept on toward the industrial city of Saco as forest fires raged relentlessly across the Northeastern States. National Guard officers said Saco wa3 in no immediate danger, but the city's 8,600 residents were alerted as the blaze reached within five miles of the community.

President Truman has proclaimed the entire state of Maine, where eight communities have been wholly or mostly destroyed, a disaster area. Thirty-five homes were consumed at Dayton and a dozen dwellings were razed at West Hol-lis, a short distance up the Saco River. Maine counted 13 deaths, 6,000 homeless or displaced persons and property losses amounting to As rapidly as weary fire fighters checked a threatening blaze in one section, new outbreaks bore down on some woodland village in anothe rarea. Only In the Quoddy section of Maine was there a semblance of rain to aid in the battle to check flames that moved toward Cooper and Calais. Maine suffered worst of the Northeastern States, but in New York, Massachusetts.

New Ilamp shire, all through the tinir-dry area, frest fires were reported. A blaze that caused $1,000,000 loss in Rochester, N. 11., jumped the Salmon Falls River into Maine and v.nes within a mile of the Berwick to a a hall, but a favorable wind heartened the firefighters. Fires at Dayton brought new worries to Maine's textile city of Biddeford, which has been rimmed for days by recurrently threatening flames. The tiny Maine villase of Sprague Falls was endangered by flames, which if the wind shifted, would threaten the larger community of Cherryficld.

As fire fighters struggled against new threats. National Guardsmen patrolled the blackened, smoulder ing runs of towns already razed. Suspicions of incendiarism increased in some sections and Maine state police sought a man seen starting a quickly extinguished woods blaze at Coopers Mills. The forest fire death toll reached 20 in the nation and New England property loss was $27,000,000. The situation by states was this: Maine Forest fires bearing down on five more small communities.

Fires at fashionable Bar Harbor, which lost 300 homes and summer residences, reported by state police "just smouldering now." 100.000 acres of woodland blackened. Massachusetts Danger lessened In Fitchburg, Falmouth and Gloucester, where fires were out of control earlier. One man jailed for setting a fire in leaves "on a dare." The fire for a time threatened a hospital which had to be evacuated. New Hampshire A million dollar loss was reported in the city of Rochester. Two fresh fires sprang up there today and one is still spreading.

New York Fire fighters, bringing under control 6evcn major woods fires, were called to two new blazes spotted in southeastern New York State near the Kensico Reservoir, north of vVhite Plains. New Jersey and Pennsylvania officials reported a number of woods fires, but the worst were under control. 'Last Man's Club Will Hold Banquet The "Last Man's Club" of the John A.

ed by the 1947 Navy Day chairman, Albert A. Stone, vice-president and general manager of The Sun Publishing Company. Captain Folk was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on November 10, 1901. He attended Webb School at Bell Buckle, Tennessee, and was a student for a year at Vanderbilt University where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity before his appointment to the Naval Academy, Annapolis. Maryland, from Tennessee In 1919.

While a Midshipman he was on the soccer and tennis squad and served on the staff of the Academy publications, "The Log" and "The Lucky Bpg." Graduated with the Class of 1923. he was commissioned Ensign on June 7, 1923, and advanced in grade until his promotion to Captain, to rank from July 10. 1843. In June, 1942, Captain Folk was detached from the Naval Air Station. Miami, with orders to report to the Naval Supervisor of Shipbuilding at Newport News, Virginia, where he had duty in connection with fitting out USS Birmingham and went aboard as first lieutenant and damage control officer when that light cruiser was commissioned.

Birmingham's first combat assignment was the Sicilian Campaign, during which time she furnished fire support for landing operations at Licata, and later engaged in the bombardment of Agri-gento. Ordered to the Pacific in August 1943, Birmingham was attached to a fast carrier task force and participated in the strikes on Tarawa and Wake Island. In October she engaged in the Solomons campaign and there operated In support of the landing on Bougainville, during which operation she received her first battle damage. In an all-night action on November 8 and 9, Japanese aircraft broke through heavy AA fire to iriict two hits, one forward and one aft, and a bomb hit on No. 4 turret.

In spite of the serious casualty Inflicted, the damage control organization under Captain Folk restricted flooding to a minimum, thereby enabling Birmingham to continue fighting. For outstanding service as damage control officer of the USS Birmingham during action on the night of November 8-9, 1943, Captain Folk received a letter of commendation with authorization to wear the Commendation Ribbon, from Admiral William F. Halsey, USN (now Fleet Admiral, Retired), Commander South Pacific Force, Pacific Fleet. In January. 1944, Captain Folk became executive officer of Birmingham, while she was undergoing repairs on the West Coast.

Rees, chairman, announced today. One subcommittee will be charged with considering rate making procedures for the Postal Service. The other subcommittee will study the general subject of air mail.

On the rate making study subcommittee are Congressmen Katharine St. George, chairman R-NY), Homer R. Jones and Murray The other subcommittee is composed of Congressman Edward H. Rees chairman. Charles W.

Vursell (R-Ill.) and Murray. In naming the subcommittees to study air mail, Rees pointed out that recently prepared cost data shows "the Post Office Department experienced a loss in handling Air Mail of $14,859,469 during the fiscal year 1947." "The prediction of the Department that Air Mail volume would double if 5-cent Air Mail was authorized has not materialized although this rate has been in effect ovt year," Rees noted. Payments of the Federal Government through the Post Office Department for carrying1 air mail. Rees said, "exceed by more than six million dollars the combined revenues to the airlines from commercial shippers for carrying air express and air freight" Rees told the subcommittee to consider "removing tie obligation to provide the subsidy for our airlines out of Postal revenues." In setting up the study of rate making procedures, Rees noted that "the Postmaster General has not exercised his prerogative under existing law which provides that he will increase parcel post rates so that they will cover costs and make these rates effective through a procedure providing hearing by the Interstate Commerce Commission." He calls for an examination of this situation. Rees asks investigation of the proposal that an independent rate making body for postal rates be set up.

CORNELL WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 The congressional investigation of communism in Hollywood sank into a week-end lull today. Next week, fireworks 'are likely. At least the House Committee on Un American "Activities looks for some. It can't promise they won't fizzle once it starts jabbing questions at a long list of witnesses who other witnesses have aid are hooked up with the reds in one way of another.

But one member remarked: "Anything may happen next week. We are not going to tolerate any interruptions or permit anyone to attempt to make a scene." The committee has been hearing all srots of rumors that somebody is. planning to start a ruckus. That a croup of Hollywood actors will show next week to protest the way the inquiry is being run. and that New York will send down some Broadway actors and producers.

The only disturbance so Tar resulted from an attempt of a Hollywood lawyer to cross examine a witness last Tuesday. A couple of policemen were told to take him out. They did. The committee has a rule against cross examination by outsiders. Monday's witness list starts off with Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association, and possibly Roy Brewer, Hollywood labor union leader.

Johnston got in an advance argument by distributing a statement saying that the investigation "serves to emphasize my thinking on the need for reform" in congressional Investigative procedures. He said in a letter to Senate-House members: "With no vested right to be heard and no vested right to challenge accusations against him. the innocent citizen is helpless. He can be indicted in the public mind on the unchallenged say-so of a witness." Rep. Vail (R-IU), of the committee, has complained that Johnston has improperly criticized the group as making an effort to establish that films are purposely colored.

After Johnston will come screen writers John Howard Lawson. Dal-ton Trumbo, Alvah Bessie and Em-mett Lavery. Numerous witnesses have said they believe, or think, or are sure, one or another of the quartet are communists or act like it. Nobody has proved anybody is a red. Actor Adolph Menjou testified he had "heard" but could not prove, that Lawson is head of the communist movement in the movie capital Howard Rushmore.

a New York newspaperman, testified that while he was a communist working for the communist paper, "The Daily Worker," Lawson "was in direct charge of communist activities in Hollywood." The first week of the hearing brought to the witness stand such movie stars as Robert Taylor, Gary Cooper, Robert Montgomery, Ronald Reagan and George Murphy. A number of writers and directors testified. So did producers Louis B. Jack L. Warner and Walt Disney.

Several points of agreement stood out in what they said. They agreed: 1. Communists definitely have established a -beachhead in Hollywood. 2. The reds are a small but dangerous minority.

3. The greatest red element is among screen writers. 4. Communists have fallen far short of dominating the industry. 5 Counter attacks have met with considerable success.

6. Congress ought to outlaw the communist part, not as a political party but as a subversive agency of a foreign" government. The Christmas celebration to be staged in Jackson this year under the sponsorship of the Jackson and Madison County Chamber of Com merce promises to be the most out standing events ever staged here, of the com- I mittee jtor ptailicity and' advertis ing ior ine event, saia looay. Mr. Jones said the Christmas Parade, one of the highlights of the celebration, will take place late in the afternoon of December 5th, and will lead up to the grand climax "when thousands of West Tennessee Visitors and Jacksonians will pour into Roth rock Stadium to see the Exchange Bowl football game." The following statement regarding the celebration was given by Mrs.

Jones: 'Pierce Winningham of the Exchange Club pledged the wholehearted support of that organization toward making this event one to be remembered for years to come. The Exchange Club will offer a trophy to the best band participating in the parade and the members of the bands will be guests of the club, with special seats arranged for them at the stadium." "Hamp Meeks. working with other members of the Street Committee, is working out "plans to decorate the entire business area with colorful yuletide fixtures built onto light posts, large Christmas scenes and an abundance of music, spearheaded by an outstanding 50-foot display located on Court Square." "Dave Miller, local shoe store manager and general chairman of the Christmas Program, is working with all members of his committee, and coordinating their efforts. He reported to the Chamber's Directors meeting that the Lions Club would enter a float in connection with their Santa Claus program. He said the Rotary Club would enter a float to be graced by beautiful girls reigned over by "Miss Christmas Spirit" to be chosen from among the beauties of Jackson.

He added that approximately 15 other organizations will also enter floats." "Steve Stein, who is to be parade marshall, said that not only will the parade be an eyeful of beauty, but it will be an inspiration to all spectators, and will make Jackson proud." Crane has been named to secure the bands for the parade, and will head up a committee for bands and school activities." A. Dolbeer, chairman of floats, will be one of the busiest men in Jackson from now until December 5th. The finance committee is being formed to handle this phase of the program." "Pierce Winningham reported to the Board of Directors that the most outstanding football teams in the nation will be secured for the Exchange Bowl game. He said that those who attended the game last year know that we have a treat in store." "All merchants and business men who have discussed the Christmas program were most enthusiastic over the revival of the event, which helped to make Jackson a real Christmas shopping center for all West Tennessee, and helped to bring many newcomers to our community. At all the meetings held to discuss the program there was an atmosphere of confidence that the coming Christmas extravaganza will be an event unexcelled in the history of Jackson," Mr.

Jones said. 50th Wedding Celebration CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 25. B. O.
