Britain Sends Troops, Cruiser As Anti - White Group Operates In Kenya

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct. 20-(AP) .. Britain sent a battalion of troops and a cruiser to Kenya and declared a slate of emergency to- night in this East African colony in an effort to control the fanatic anti-white society known as Mau Msu.

The Man Man, who take a. blood oath to drive the white man out of Kenya. has murdered at least 48 persons, set buildings and crops on fire and slaughtered cattle in the last few weeks. The organization is said to number 200.000 of the 1.- 000.000-strong Kikuyu tribe.

The announcement of a state of emergency,.followed by a few hours the arrival in Kenya of a battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers flown in from the Middle East, Uganda and Tanganyika.

An airlift of 12 planes made a night landing on a clockwork basis at the Nairobi Airport.

At the same time the Colonial Office announced in London that the cruiser Kenya would go to Mombasa, 400 miles from Nairobi, to support troops in the Kenya capital.

It was the first major show of force Britain had made in East Africa in years. Britain fears Kenya could become another area of guerrilla warfare like Malaya.

Red oeltiiaies Renew Charges Al U. N. Sessions

By Norman Alistedtor

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.. Oct. 20 -(CP)-Early detailed discu:n- lon on Korea was made possible today when the United Nations General Assembly decided to post- pone a windup of its general de- bate.

At the same time, the United States announced it will formally call for an assembly investigation into soviet charges that the U. N. had used germ warfare in Korea. The American decision came after representatives oi Russia. Poland and Czechoslovakia renewed the germ war charges which have been denied by the U. S.

Suggests Commission

Before the general debate was postponed. Victor Belaundc oi Peru suggested that the assembly

set up a commission to look for ways around the Communist re- fusal to accept the screening of prisoners of war in Korea-the only issue blocking a Korean truce.

R. (3. Casey. Australia's external affairs minister, told the - IIV his country could not agree to compel prisoners to return to Communist hands by force. 1-lelsaid Australia will see the Korean war through to its end.

The Australian referred to the Soviet attempt "to drive a. wedge," between Britain and the U. S. and said:

"The British American co-oper- atlon is an anvil that has worn out many hammers. It will stand up to the sickle as well."

To Cut Budget

Meanwhile. - Secretary-General Trygve Lie told the budget com- mittee-which began work today along, with the committees and the economic social itrusteeship and legal matters-that he agreed to a cut of some 5600.000 in the budget of 547,765,200 which he has recom- mended ior 1953.

A watchdog committee has pro- posed a cut of 3990.900. But Lie ex- pressed opposition to the commit- tee”s proposal to cut the U. N. pool of cars down from 10 sedans and two station wagons to one sedan and two station wagons, at a sav- ing of nearly 8100.000. Lie said the cars are needed for. the "dignity" of the organization.

The 1952 edition of this stand- ard collection of up-to-date facts and statistics about the world's armed forces was published today.

The article on atomic warfare was written by Brig.-Gen. C. N. Barclay.

Barclay said one side likely would be much better equipped in an atomic war and would win quickly. A knockout blow might be delivered against atomic plants, seats of governments, and vital in- dustrlal and military targets,,mak- ing it "difficult to see how the weaker side could continue the struggle."

There is no certainty that the United States is far ahead in atomic development - ”secrecy in atomic matters is not difficult to maintain, and it may be that the Soviet Union is better equipped than we imagine," he asserted.

Declares Atom w... Would Be All Over in Few Weeks

Even if neither side knocked out the other immediately, Barclay said an atomic war could not last long.

.Lh both sides using nuclear arms, the sla ghter would be so great that "at a comparatively early stage both groups of bellig- eren" might be prepared to dis- cuss armistice terms." This, he said, mivht give the United Na.- tions--”or what remains of it"-a chance to sponsor the negotia- t' nr.

He also pointed out the pos- sibilities o' shattering morale by dropping A-bombs on crowded cit.- ies d of cutting off food sup- plies by ”destroying crops or sterilizing the earth."

But Barclay said he thought the existence of atomic weapons might reduce the chances of a third world war -- both sides being too afraid ' bring on atomic devasta- tion.

Even if a third world war should break out, Barclay said. it might not be an atomic war. Both sides might stick to conventional wea- pons. s

Companies Would Change System For Bale-Selling

By John Lalslane

OTTAWA. Oct. 20 -(CP)' - One of the toughest of Canada's freight- rate fights is brewing over a rail- way proposal to set a new basis for figuring rail charges.

The raiiways' move. which could spring a big freight-rate increase, will be fought by the governments of eight provinces.

The railways have asked the Board of Transport Commission- ers-whlch regulates the carriers- to lay down a new concept for the setting of rates. It would be based on giving the Canadian Pacific Railway a. return on its investment. It also could result in a jump of about. 30 per cent in freight tolls.

That would add about 3150.000,- 000 a year to the national freight bill.

The eight provincial governments that have been opposing the suc- cession of freight-rate increases since the war-all except Ontario and Quebec-have served notice officially that they are going to battle the change.

Willi Fight. To End

Spokesman for these govern- ments, which have largely been on the losing end of their freight- rate fights before the board in the last six years, say they are going to fight this new issue down to the end.

In the complex field of freight rates. it boils down to the question of whether the Transport Board should set up a new "yardstick" for the creation of freight rates.

The board uses the financial re- quirements of the C. P. R. on a
