Civilian Defenses For A-Bomb Raids Discussed

SEATTLE. July 10-(GP)-Plans for Canada's civilian defences in thefevent of a anvA-bomb attack will include recommendations to be made following a five-day three- rountry conference here.

Canada. Great Britain and the United states are represented at a civu defence critique which open- ed yesterday and from which will come a civil defence handbook to guide cities in event of enemy at- iack. '

"The lessons we ' learn here will be invaluable," said R. A. Pennington, head of British Col-

umbia's civil defence commit- tee organized since the Korean crisis developed. .

Information gulned here will be pooled with the report of Gen. F. F. Worthington, Canada's civilian defence chief, who has been in Britain studying civil defence.

Col. W. J. Mccallum of Ottawa, a member of the Federal Defence 0. anization. will make a report to Gen. Worthington.

Seattle was picked for the con- ference city because a week ago it was under ”atcm attack" during which 00,000 persons died, theor. cticaliy, in the bombings.

The more than 100 civilian and military leaders here will evaluate Seattle's defence program against the simulated A-bomb blasts.

Expect No Threa To Sieei Supplies

OTTAWA. July i8'- (OP) - A Trade Department official expres- sed confidence today that the United states will continue to supply Canada with her steel re- quirements, despite the possibility that President Truman may tail for priority and allocation controls on that strategic war commodity.

The official showed interest but no alarm in a dispatch from Wash- ington which predicted Mr. Tru- man will ask Congress tomorrow for limited powers of priority and allocation to channel steel and other materials into armr produc- tion.

Norma-lly, American steel flows into Canada at the rate of about 1.000.000 tons a year, providing Canada with 26 per cent of her steel requirements. A slow-down in American shipments could cut into Canada's record-breaking es.- 'f00.000.000 1950 capital construc- tion program and in the produc- tion of homes and buildings.

Maybe they thought it wouldn't be n esspry. Certainly the invad- ers id not have kndwfi that the United Nations would jump in so promptly with powerful aerial counter-strokes.

The Rad Koreans started off with a handful of Russian-made Yak-9 piston engined fighters and a few slow ground support planes which gave them temporary but complete superiority over the virtually non- existent South Korean Air Force.

Since the U. S. Air Force. ably assisted by hard-fighting Austral- ian Mustangs. took the air over Korea, Red airplanes have been little more than a minor nuisance.

Truman Prepares congress Address

WASHINGTON. July Bl-(AP)- President Truman moved for the first time today to combat war in- flation on the United States home front. p

In a series of orders, the chief executive set up rules for tighter credit on federal homing. loans "without delay" and called for "positive action" tovsave construc- tion materials needed for the war effort.

The President said it is clear that many materials used in resi- dential and other construction will be needed in increasing amounts for national defence, and he said:

"These increased demands (for defence materials) will aggravate inflationary tendencies already ev- ldent in some of these materials unless positive actions are taken to reduce pressures in residential

His order today called fora sub- stantial increase in down pay- ments. both for new construction and repair loa-ns.'a'nd ordered the Veterans Administration to require a cash down payment of at least five per cent for all V. A. loans. wherever existing law permits.

Truman also noted that Con- gress has authorized 01.250.000.000 to insure new mortgages. but he said he is approving only 3650,- 000.000 of that amount.

The orders came. as the Presi- dent completed drafting his first war report to Congress since the outbreak of the 23-day-old Korean hostilities. Cabinet members went over the final draft with Truman at the White House this afternoon.

By William It. Mom

AN AMERICAN COMMAND POST IN KOREA. July ll-(AP) --Thirty wounded American sol- diers were reported tonight to have been shot to death in their litters Sunday night by North Koreans who swarmed across the Kum River.

This story was told tonight (Moore's dispatch was filed at 11:20 P. M. Tuesday-1:20 A. M. Tuesday, EDT) by some of the men of the regiment who were in the thickest of Sunday's battle.

The n.eds' Sunday thrust forced the Americana back to new de- fence lines north of Taejon. which they still hold tonight.

lBritain Cuts on 011 lShipments To Red China

LONDON, July l8-(CP')-Brit- ain announced today she has chop- ped off all all shipments to Com- munist. China.

The British Army. Navy and Air Force in the far east need all oil stocks in that area. he said, and have decided to viake them over for their own use.

Earlier this month Britain turn- ed down an United States suggest- ion io limit oil shipments to Red China, in line with a similar Am- erican shutdown.

By cutting oil shipments. Brit- ain risked whatever chance she has of completing a full exchange of diplomatic representatives with

the Chinese Communist regime. which she has recognized. This decision was accompanied

lby these cther developments:

1. Prime Minister Attlee made it clear B-ritain feels that the North Koreans will have to pull back to their 38th parallel boundary be- fore peace can be restored. He thus gave a cool reception to Prime Minister Stalin's expressed will- ingness to seek a peaceful settle-

Canada To Care For Men in Korea

.0:llTAWA. July i8-(CP)-Cnn- aria is accepting full responsibility for any servicemen she sends to Koren. including care of any that may he wounded or widows of any that may be killed, officials said today.

The question arose in the llfzlit of the fact that Canada has furn- erl three destroyers and their 650- orirl seamen over to the United Nations for service in Korea.

All servicemen who enter the Canadian forces are hufomatlcally protected in the way of pensions for disabilities, officials said. Their widows would be pcnsioncd too so long as deaths arose from service causes.

Canada has also undertaken to xfeed and supply any men she iscnds to Korea and to reinforce ;them if that is needed.
