Hoover Comes Out Of Retirement To Give Gen. Eisenhower Boost

a

NEW Y . Oct. 19 -(AP)- Herbert Hoover came out of pol- .l1CII retirement tonight to de- xcriba the Democratic New peat as an incubator of the Communist Party in America.

He charged that in the first'10 years after New Deal recognition (if Russia. the Communist Party in the United States grew from 13.000 to li0,(l)0

"And they were employed in the high levels of government," added the last Republican president to sit in the White House.

Hoover's prepared, country-wide television and radio' address over CBS (9:30 to 10 p. m. EST) inter- rupted what he called his "final

retirement from political activ- ltes.” '

"I have done so at Gen. Dwight) Eisenhower”: request," he said.

Hoover, '10, called his address a detailed defence of Republican re- cord for the benefit of 40,000,000 new voters who came of age since he stepped out of the White House.

Hoover detailed replies to five criticisms of the Republican Party:

1. "That the Republican Party is the party of privilege and the tool of Wall Street or big business!

"The Republican Party." he said, "continued to put restraints on op- pressive , business up to its last moments in office in 1938. .

"I may sum up that-of the 18 major acts regulating business by

erecting standards of conduct, 12 were of Republican origin. . ." 2 "Misrepresentation that the

Republicans created the great de- prusion and then did nothing a- bout it." .

Hoover relied that the depres- sion started elsewhere in the world and "its major violence came from the inevitable bankruptcy of Eur- ope as the aftermath of the First World War."

8. That the Republican Party is 'reactionary and opposed to

labor, farm, housing, veterans, civil service and prison legislation. Asking after each point: "Was this reactionary?"

4. That the Republican Party neglected "conservation and de- velopment of natural resources."

Hoover ran through a long list of Republican efforts in conservation and development.

5. That the Republican Party is incompetent to preserve peace.

He said the Republican Party sponsored treates in many areas of the world including the good- neighbor policy for Central and south- America.

Country-Wide Coal Sirike looms In U. S.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19-(AP)- The Wage Stabilization Board Sat- urday cut 21 per cent from the wage increase won last month by John L. Lewiai 350,000 soft-coal miners, raising the spectre of an immediate industry-wide coal strike just two weeks before elec- lion.

Lewis and the industry had agreed on a 51.90 daily WARE 10' crease. The W.S.B. slashed that by 40 cents, leaving 3150 which can legally be paid.

Board chairman Archibald Cox. a 40-year-old Harvard law profes- sor. appealed to the "sound com- mon sense of the coal miners and the wisdom of their leaders" to abide by the decision.

But in Pittsburgh John B. Bus- nrello, president of District 5 of the United Mine Workers Union, predicted that there will be "a general walkout."

B. G. conservatives In Housecleaning

VANCOUVER, Oct. 19 - (GP) - The British Columbia Progres- sive Conservative Party, its legis- lature strength decimated in last summer's provincial general elec- tion, fired its executive Saturday and elected a complete new slate of officers.

Herbert Anscomb, co-chief in B.C.'s old coalition government, resigned as leader of the party. He had said earlier he would rc- sign at the partyls full-dress con- vention in December but changed his plans under the threat of a want-of-confidence motion.

At the same time, a new ex- eoutivo was elected to the pro- vincial Progressive Conservative Association, the group.which con- vened here Saturday.

E. Davie Fulton. member of Parliament for Kamloons. re- placed Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V.C.. membe of Parliament for Nanaimo, as president.

Hopes For Truce In Korea

Repeaiolhmands For Armistice On Bed Terms

(By Norman Altatedter)

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Oct. 19-(CP)-Foreign Minister And- rei Vlshinsky of Russia gave ap- patently full support Saturday to Communist demands for repatria- tion of all prisoners of war in Korea-the issue which had dead- locked the truce talks.

The white-maned Vlshinsky, showing none of his usual oratorl- cal fire, amazed United Nations Assembly delegates by refraining from offering a program direct from Moscow. He merely "warm- ly supported" the Polish call for a Korean cease-fire in terms al- ready rejected by the U. N.

The Russian speech in the open policy debate dimmed the slim Western hopes for some con- clilation. But Vishlnsky emphasiz- ed an offer made by Communist truce negotiators Oct. 8-and re- jected by U. N. negotiators as not constructive-which some dele- gates said they would like to hear explained further by the Russians.

Meanwhile the U. N. today

Record U. S. Vole Predicted

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 -(AP) prompted state officials to predict a turnout of 56,600,850 voters Nov. 4. This would exceed by 5,850,000 the record established in the Roosevelt-Wilkie contest of 1940.

The some sources estimated for the Associated Press a national registration or eligible vote of '74.- 810,561. This is also the highest in history. And it compare with 98,- 377,000 estimated by the Census Bureau as the "potential' vote- the civilian population 21 and over.

In addition, Defence Headquar- ters says there are another 2,500,- 000 eligible voters in the armed forces at home and abroad. Offic- ials figure 750,000 may return bal- lots next .month.

Republicans interpret the big registrations as meaning a victory for Dwight Eisenhower over Adlai Stevenson. Many of them say it points to 8. whopping "protest" yote-prompted by a desire for a change.

Officials headquarters say encouraging for a Stevenson vic- tory. They revive a traditional argument that a big vote spells a Democratic triumph.

Tighten Down On Parcels To Soldiers

OTTAWA. Oct. 19 -(CP)--The British army of the Rhine has is- sued an order banning shipments of coffee to troops in its area of Germany.

The army said Saturday that re- latives and friends sending parcels to troops in this area are being asked to eliminate coffee from their parcels. It will not be cleared through customs by the British authorities. who handle all mail to servicemen through army postal channels.

A separate order has lifted the duty-free concession on cigarets, oigais, tobacco and spirits going to i the United Kingdom. These now are available to Canadians in the U. K. through their unit and Navy, Army and Air Force canteens.

SEOUL, Korea, oct. no -(Mon. day)-(AP)- U.

Two reinforced Red divisions of 3.000 to 3,500 men each grabbed the ridge and peak in darkness last night.

The Communists poured nearly 40,000 rounds of artillery, mortar and rocket fire on the Allied po- sitions just before their big smash.

The Reds struck just before midnight Sunday in their biggest counterattack on the two bitterly- won Allied positions--captured in five days of bloody fighting be- tween Tuesday and Saturday.

Two reinforced Chinese regi- ments speared the drive. A regi- ment numbers between 3,000 and 3,500 men.

The Reds made a slight pene- tration, Fujii said, but a counter- barrage by Allied artillery forced them back with heavy casualties. Undaunted. the Reds regrouped and attacked again in ever- increasing numbers. South Kor- eans battled the attackers with hand grenades and rifles.

Fujil said the intense Allied artillery barrage was mainly re- sponsible 'for' keeping the Reds from cracking the line on Snider Ridge.

LONDON, Oct. 18 - (AP) -Bus- inns in most of western Europe is staging a quiet comeback after slight slumps earlier this year, an Associated Press survey indicates.

Only in France are there real signs of a possible depression. Else- where. economic experts say, bus- iiiesa activity levelled off or turned upward in recent months and that any fears of a widespread depres- sion appear unfounded.

Huge spending for rearmament. in Western Europe, with the United States picking up much of the bill, is a chief factor in the better bus- iners outlook.

The AP survey reached both priv- ate business and government sour- ces in each country. They reported production and employment have been bolstered by American orders for s68:i,0o0,0()(l worth of arms and other military equipment.

The country-by-country survey turned up these other economic signs in Western Europe:

1. Government anti-inflation measures in Britain and some other countries have checked any inflationary business "booms."

2. In many countries output of many goods has reached the level of demand for the first time since the war.

As for the future outlook, most European business experts believe busine: wul remain good or even get better. But they're not overly optimistic.

Here is the picture in brief by countries:

France - Small businesses are hardest hit. The cost of feeding a family now is estimated up from 40 in en per cent of the small work- er's budget. -.

Britain - The Chancellor of the Exchequer. I-uchard Butler, recently said "Our situation is a good deal less inflationary than it was a year ago." He said Britain's huge i000.- oo0.ooo world financial deficit of last year had been fumed into A small surplus in the first six months of 1062.

Encouraging Signs

Butler noted as encouraging signs that people have been spending

been a considerable improvement in the mobility of labor," and that wages and prices have increased by only about half as much as last year. , '

Western Germany - German and Allied authorities say there are no signs of a depression in Western Germany. Unemployment has drop- ped by almost 800,000 since Janu- ary, 1952. and now stands at about 1,050,000 - lowest since January, 1949.

Italy - Unemployment is expect- ed to average almost 10 per cent higher this year than last. In Aug- ust, 1952, unemployment stood M 2.042.000 compared with 1,000,000 in August, 1951. Civilian consumption is increasing steadily.

Belgium - Conditions generally are favorable in coal. steel, cement, electricity and metal products in- dustries, but not so good in textiles, paper, pottery, leather and chem- icais.

Denmark .- An improved foreign- exchange situation has made pos- sible increased building and other
