U. S. Announces Temporary ”Freeze” On Passport Visas

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12 - (CF) ,.. The Government today an- nounced a temporary world-wide "freeze" on passport visas to aliens seeking to enter the United States. it even affects Canada. the coun- trvis friendliest neighbor.

However, officials here said only I relative handful of persons are nt'lllBii)' affected in Canada, most- Ly those preparing to reside ucr- manently in the U. 5-

Thc sudden crackdown was the latest move in carrying out pro- visions of the Communist Control Bill. The order threw a "paper our-

tain" around the country pending

ciarifictrlion of the statute which

Congress passed recently over

the veto of President Truman.

The State Department issued the suspension order as scores of aliens -chiefly Germans and Italians- were detained at Ellis Island, New York. and hundreds of others were at sea en route to American ports.

The State Department cabled U. S. embassies and consulates all over the world to hold up visas-entry permits-until they can recheck the background of aliens planning to come to the United States.

The suspension order specifies that aliens now holding visas can get them re-stamped as valid only by satisfying American consuls abroad that they are not banned from the United States under the 1950 Security Act.

In Ottawa. officials of the U. S. Embassy and the Canadian De- partment of External Affairs said the suspension order does not ap- ply to Canada. spokesmen said the Embassy there was the one

Coming. -Events

-......L:-.......A.....- exception to the world-wide mall- ing list. 3 '

But officials in Washington said it applies to Canadians coming as immigrants. since they must have visas as well as passports.

Visitors lxempted

The order does not apply to Canadians coming to the U. S. on visits of six months or less. They do not need visas. Canadians coming for longer do need a visa.

Nor does it apply to official rep- resentatives of foreign govern- ments.

American officials abroad were instructed to notify transportation compa ' of the suspension order and warn them of possible liability for damage if they transport aliens to this country who lack valid per- mits.

Displaced persons. being brought to the United States for resettle-

ment under provisions of other legislation, are exempt. The so-called anti-subversives

law bars entry of aliens who have ever been members of the Com- munist "or other totalitarian" par- ties or affiliated organizations.

It thus applies not only to form- er Nazi and Fascist Party mem- bers, but also to countless Ger- mans and Italians who were mem- bers of some sort of state organ- -izations during the Hitler and Mus- solini regimes.

State Department officials esti- mated 90 per cent of all Germans would be ineligible under a strict interpretation of the law.

Italy and Germany have both protested vigorously against the detention of their nationals. and thelstate Department has prom- ised prompt action to clear up the confusion.

No Indication Price Support Will Emetgeup

OTTAWA. Oct, 12 -- (GP) .. Canadian potato growers today placed their case for price support squarely before Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner, but there were no indications that their request would be granted,

A delegation of potato-grower representatives met with Mr, Gar- diner in a wind-up meeting of is two-day conference called to deal with a deteriorating market. for the Ikricultural product. especially in the Maritime area.

Mr. Gardiner. officials said, re- ceived the delegation, heard the case. but gave the group no en- couragement. other than that he would consider its request.

it was indicated, however. that although he may bring the request before the Cabinet. there was little likelihood of the Govemment changing its mind about not granting support to the potato market.

Earlier today. W.R. Shaw. who headed the delegation. said the market future for Canadian potato growers "is not very hopeful."

The Deputy Minister of Agricui. turn for Prince Edward Island has- ed his view on the fact there was a heavy production of potatoes in Canada and in the United States. the biggest international market for Canadian tubers,

Valley Apple Problem

KENTVILLE. N. S., Oct, 12- (CP)-Two vetcrnn leaders of the Annapolis Valley apple business Hid tonight that complete tran- sition is the answer to the indus- try's problems in Nova Scotizt.

Fred M. Nash. president of Ihe United Fruit Companies Ltd.. and R. D. Sutton. president of the Nova Scotia Marketing Board. said in a joint statement that con- tinued Federal aid for tree re- moval is necessary it this tran- sition is to take place.

(The program of tree removal was started when the United Kingdom's financial difficulties and other problems resulted in loss of Nova Scotia”s important overseas markets,

(Trees which produced export- typa apples were replaced with varieties more suited to the do- mestlc market).

"Only by growing those varieties desired by the Canadian and Un- ited States consumers can we hope to market the entire Valley crop." said Mr. Sutton

(Of the 1.000.000-barrel crop ex- pected this year. markets have been found for only 600.000 bar- rein.)

Other officials of the Marketing Board estimated that half of the trees still standing have to he pulled or grafted. More than 500,-

Asl-i1YA, Japan. Oct. 11 -- (Reu- ters) - Towns people in Wonsan claim that Communists four days ago beheaded B00 Konan prison- ai-s including women and children.

They say the victims had been imprisoned because they "did not live like Communists."

When the city's fall seemed-in- evitatbla the Communists executed them and buried the bodies in the sands of the river.

North Korean soldiers. of whom there are many in Won- asn. have given Americnn inter- rogators ii strong impression that the Communist army is at its limits of manpower reserve and that the troops' will to fight has slumped.

Most prisoners have been sol- diers only a few weeks and ltrnw little about even elementary sol-

A captured 19-year-old lieuten- ant who commanded a machine- gun detachment had threa months' service. He had "stripped" a ma- chine-gun only three times dur- ing that time and he knew nothing about other arms.

Briiisli Experts lie-examine Arms Program

LONDON. Oct, 12 - (AP) Government experts have started re-examining Britain's iS3.400.000.000 rearmament program in the light of United States inability to help it. with free dollars.

Quallfiod informants stressed the new st.u:ly.is designed not to cut the three-year program but to modify the methods by which it is to be financed.

The British program, announced last Aug, 3, called for Amerlcati help in cash and in kind to the tune cf about 31.500.000.000 during three years. The United states has since made it clear it will be dif- ficult if not impossible to give any of the Atlantic Allies free dollars for spending anywhere in the world - as Britain had asked.

As a result. Britain exi-acts to get help only in the form of act- ual military equipment, machine tools for producing arms, and raw rnaterisis.

Britain stressed in August her program could be carried out with- out revsrting to a full war econ- omy only with American help in free dollars and materials.

The informants said the main factors which have arisen since to enable the country to csrw out the full program. without the Ameri- can help ln cash. Ire the extra dollars being earned by Common- wealth producers of scarce raw materials like wool. rubber, tin and various non-ferrous metals.

The United states and Canada have been buying that kind of commodity in increasing quantities ever since the Korean war began.

As a result commodity prices have soared: And Britain, as bank- er for the sterling area has ben- afttad a lot.

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. Oct. 12 A (AP) -- Russia today used its veto power in an effort to block the re-election of United ,Nations secretary-General Trygvo Lie but legal experts at the U. N. said the Assembly might be able to extend his term, possibly for three years

These experts argued that. in cases where the Security Council is not able to make a recommend- ation the General Assembly could extend the tcim of the secretary- generai. Russia is expected to challenge this position but major- lly delegates said Lie could be re-? tallied against Soviet: opposition. i

Jakob A. Malik, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister. cast Russia's 46th veto, at ll closed meeting of the security Council. against I.ie's appointment to a new five-year term beginning ii-ext Feb. '1,

Nine votes were in favor of Lie. The soviet Union opposed. and Nationalist China abstained.

Russia Proposes Pole

Malik then proposed Zygniunt. Modzelewski. Foreign Minister of Poland, but Modzelewski got Rus- sia's vote only. China, Cuba, Ecuador and Yugoslavia opposed him. The United states, Britain, France. Norway, India and Egypt abstained.

Lie declined comment. but as- sociates said it could be assumed he would continue if the Assembly extended his term.

American delegate Warren E. Austin, this month's council pres- ident. said afterwards:

"We have been for Lie from the hcginiiiiii:..altliough he has taken stands on some questions with wl'li('l1 we, gotild .,not. agree, that, idiffei7ence."

Under the U. N. charter, the Council must recommend a sec- rel.ai'.v-genernl. with the five big powers-Russia. the United States. France, China and Brit.nin-voting unanimously for him. The General Assembly then must approve the rccrrnmendation and fix the term.

With this stalemate. the Coun- cil drafted 11 letter to the As- sembly statim: that it. was not able to make it recommendation.
