Vol.51 No. 59 Truman, Attlee End Talk Leaders Agree On Arms Plan In Washington the President Truman-Prime Minister Attlee conference came to an end Sat urday. They called for a faster buildup of the West's military forces, offering to cease the re armament drive if red leaders would make an acceptable peace. The conference was called to consider the world-wide in volvement of the Chinese com munist attack on Korea. British and American leaders pledged that their countries would "act together" to meet all communist threats. Truman Reserves Right Of A-bomb Decision It appears that President Tru man has reserved for himself the right to make a final de cision on the use of the A bomb. He promised that Attlee would be informed on any develop ments which might cause the U. S. to decide to use the bomb. Attlee, however, was pleased with the understanding with Truman on this point. The only point of disagreement came when Britain expressed the continued belief that the Peiking regime should be given nationalist China's chair in the U.N. Also Attlee disagreed with placing a naval block on the red China coast. Truman, Attlee Agree On Military Aid Policy On behalf of their govern ments Truman and Attlee agreed on economic and military aid to non-communist nations in Asia; U.S. and British cooperation towards a peaceful settlement; considering Formosa's future as a contribution toward peace; intensification of defense prepa rations by North Atlantic pact nations; appointment of a eu preme commander for the com bined armies; and sharing the defense burden through expan sion of arms production. Blinding Snowstorms Hamper U.S. Retreat On the front, troops have been fighting out of traps sprung by the Chinese communists. A mile south of Kato they are fighting out of a week-old trap empha sizing the opposition faced at the escape alley down from the ChankjHJ'treservoir. Blinding snowstorms pre sented an obstacle for the break out drive covering the break from the reservoir to Hungman on the east coast of Korea. Korea's civil population has been thrown into chaos by in vading communLir.. An Eighth army spokesman says that in the north civilians are being driven out of territories already occupied by communists. The majority of the displaced are moving southward to areas not yet reached by reds. Reaction Explosive To Margaret's Critic Paul Hume, critic for the Washington Post, wrote a criti cism on Margaret Truman's per formance. As a result of his ar ticle he received a none too flattering letter from the Presi dent himself. The letter was written on white house stationery and signed simply 'H.S.T." and went something like this: "I have read your lousy review. You sound like a frustrated old man who never made a success, an -eight-ulcer man on a four-ulcer job, and all four ulcers working." "I never met you, but if I do you'll need a new nose and plenty of beefsteak." In his review Hume said that Miss Truman is "extremely at tractive on the stage" but "can not sing very well." Hume said that Truman's at titude is: A man suffering the loss of a close friend and carry ing the terrible burden of the present world crisis ought to be indulged in an occasional out burst of temper." Thlg is referring to the death of Charles G. Ross, the Presi dent's press secretary, who died Tuesday.

Unconsciously he begins to juggle and in his exictement doffs his cap, holding it to her for a penny. Realizes Sacrilege Realizing his sacrilege he de cides that to be forgiven he must superbly the one thing he can do, juggle. Exhausted, he dies at her feet as the Madonna stretches her arm In blessing." The "Juggler" is danced by Orchesis members. The program will conclude with the dancing of the Sevenfold Amen.
