No Reason For Panic Buying

OTTAWA. Aug. I0-(CP)-uow ernment officials said today there should be no reason for panic- buying in Canada.

Commodities of all kinds are in plentifulsupply. especially of such products as sugar. coal, automobile tires and textiles.

"Some business men are buying up-hoarding-in anticipation of a shortage." an omcial stated. "They are doing themselves a disservice. This may force allocations on in- dusiry."

There were reports reaching here of a sharp increase in buy- ing of car tires, pushing prices higher. AGovernment official said rubber was in plentiful supply. Even should the supply of natural rubber be cut off, enough synthet- ic rubber could be produced in Canada to. more than meet re- quirements.

Iurror Production Continues Decline

OITAWA. Aug. 10-(CP)-Butter production ued to decline in July. while margarine output crept upward.

Creamery butter production. the Bureau of Statistics reported today. totalled 30.020000 pounds. compared with last year's 80,010,000. Margar- ine production. however. gained from 0.53.000 pounds in July. 1040,

Reporters Need Long Legs To Cover Korean Conflict

(Special in The Guardian by 3.... Munro)

you find that Tokyo is just a start in your perambulationa.

The front lies another six hours- by plane and 1.200 miles further on. You fly to southern Japan to an air haso. Then you hop acrosa the Sea of Japan to Pusan or In inland air base.

After ten days of this long- ranue war corresponding. I found myself looking back tenderly on campaign; like that in Normandy where during the beachhead days one's travels could never run more than it dozen miles a day. even if you covered the whole area.

Lots of Headaches

At one point In this first trip to Asia, I found myself on the Ko- rean front taking a hard look around. with the R.C.A.F. airlift planca arriving in Tokyo for the first time and the R.C.N. destroy- era arriving at a naval base in southern Japan.

All good stories. But how to bracket them all? There was a lot of frenzied planning. a lot of arguments with transportation people and lots of headaches and no sleep.

Getting underway in Tokyo at the start. of such an assignment is itself a maior operation. In the first few wceks of the Korean war the situation for correspondents was mighty perilous. but there was no redtape to cut through. Re- porters could go where they want- od with the only limiting factor being ability to acrounge rides on airplanes or military transport.

But then controls set in. This was inevitable when more than 200 correspondents from practically all over the world rushed to Tokyo and the war. .

But. it took me two days to get all the necessary documents needed to move arouiid properly and avoid getting into the had graces of the authorities who could lose you out of the theatre if they found reason.

Better Pay And Better Food For. Special Brigade

By DOUGLAS HOW

O'I'rAWA, Aug. 10- (CP)-It will be a new army in some lai- por-tanl. ways for the veterans who join up to serve in'Canada's new special force. But in a lot of other ways it will still be the same old army of big pants and sergeant- majors.

The pay is better than it was in the Second World War. The army says the food is better. the cloth- ing is better and more varied and there are certain strange features such as privates first class.

There are also such radical dc- partures as white sheets on the beds and a drive to get single rooms for each soldier. benevolent gestures which may not be gener- ally distributed because of the

LAKE SUCCESS. N. 11.. Aug. 10 (AP)-The United States today called the North Korean regime a Russian "zombie" spearheading s I new imperialism organized to wipe out the Republic of South Korea with Russian-made tanks and guns.

Warren E. Austin. ch-ief U. S. delegate. told the U. N. Security Council that the Soviet Union could call of! the North Koreans today-if they chose-and keep the war from spreading.

The Soviet Union replied with charges of ”sIander," but acknow- ledged that Russian forces sold war material to the North Kor- eans in 1948. when Moscow an- nounced withdrawal of its occu- pailon troops.

That was the nub of a battle of words in which the Council again got virtually nowhere in the im- mediate business at hand-discus- sion of a United States resolution to call on all countries to avoid supporting the North Koreans.

Russia's Jakob A. Mailk, Coun- cil president for August. called Austin's remarks ttslanderous con- tentions, based on nothing." He said the North Koreans had sup- plies sold io them by the Soviet Union "when it withdrew from North Korea."

At 5:15 p.m. EDT the Council adjourned until 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Earlier today the nine non- Communist members failed in a concerted attempt to stop what the Americans call "obstruction" of the work of the Council by Malik. The Council bogged down once more in procedure. with no and in sight before Sept. 1, when Britain's Sir Glaclwyn Jebb re- lieves Molik as Council president.

In a 3.000-word speech outlining the American stand, Austin made it clear that Washington:

1. Considers the Soviet Union responsible for the "unprovoked" attack of the North Koreans on the south. .

2. Knows that the Russians and International Communism could lift the fear of war from the peoples of the world if they wish; ed to do so.

Austin took the floor after get- ting the ad from Washington to open a ull-fledged campaign a- gainst Ruslan tactics and speech es in the Council. The Americans are said to feel the time has come to slap back vigorously in the verbal battle. no matter what the state of procedure in the Council.

The U. S. delegate accused the Soviet Union of setting up in North Korea and other countries "subservient puppet governments -zombie governments that breathe and speak and act, but have no soul."

Statement: Issued fol- lowing Meeting Of Rail Heads With Un- ions. 1 I

MONTREAL. Aug. lo-(GP)-Um ion leaders today rejected the final proposals of Canada's railway: in the wage-hour dispute and the railroads announced they will pre- pare for a strike by their employees. set for Aug. 22.

The a cement was made in a statement authorized by the rail- way presidents following a late-af- ternoon meeting.

Earlier in the day the railways made their "final offer" to the un- ions.

The statement said:-

"We have been informed by lead- ers of the two union groups involv- ed in the current labor dispute that the final proposal of the railways put before them in this morning's meeting are unacceptable to the negotiating committees.

"The union representatives gave no 'indication that they were pre- pared to recede in any degree from the full demands for a 40-hour week and an additional wage increase of, seven and 10 cents per hour.

"In these circumstances the rail- ways have no alternative but to prepare for strike action by the employees and appropriate announ- cements and arrangements will be made at once."

The railways earlier presented a table to show that if the unions' original demands were applied eq- ually to all employees of both com- panies, the estimated coat to the railways would be:

Forty-hour week with mainten- ance of,take-home pay, 880,158,000: same hours with seven per cent in- crease. 0110,7.'i8.000: with 10-per cent increase 312!-i.8.'l7.000.

Quota Almost Filled For Special Brigade

OTTAWA, Aug. 10 -- (C?) - The swelling tide of volunteers for Canada's new fighting brigade was believed nearing the required 5.000- man mark tonight. and Army Headquarters reported applicants for officer posts already had gone over the top.

A total of 301 officers. most of them veterans of the second World War. already have applied (or at- tachment to the new force to be trained for Korean or other action, an army spokesman said. And they were still coming in.

Headquarters had no new figures on the number of volunteers for the ranks. but individual reports from across Canada indicated the flow was almost as heavy as yes- terday when it reached 2,300 up to noon. Places such as Toronto, Montreal and cities in the Mari- times and the West reported con- tinued heavy recruiting activity.

The army spokesman was cau- tious about predicting how long it might take to enlist the required manpower. He pointed out that figures being quoted were those for applicants which would be scaled down by rejections for health and other reasons.

Brig. John M. (Rocky) Rocking- ham. 38-year-old Australian-born brigade commander of the Second World War. who has been named to load the new force-' wherevcr it fights under the United Nations banner, arrived today in Ottawa He will confer with headquarters chiefs on plans for training. ex- pected to take six to eight months. and on selection of officers.

Later they will be given a special. shoulder patch-now being designed at De- fence Headquarters-to distinguish them as special force personnel.

army spokesman here said even when the quota has been fil- led for the new force. rcruitiniv won't stop. There is no ceiling on the number of men who will be

taken for the permanent active force or for the reserve army
