FORE, CLARENCE ALLEN- -Final rites for Private Clarence Allen Fore, 28, Bakersfield, whose body has been re- Spot Cotton Prices Show Slight Gain; Picking Expands Spot cotton prices were firm to little higher this week, according to the Bakersfield cotton branch, western area, Department of Agriculture.
Inquiries and offerings were more numerous and the volume of spot sales Was the largest this season. The parity price of cotton in a mid-September was 31.00 cents per pound against 31.12 a month earlier. September 28, the secretary of as riculture. announced that no cotton marketing quotas will be proclaimed for the 1949 crop. The long import quota was filled September 20 the first day of the current quota year.
Textile market demand continued slow, trading was quiet and prices for several gray goods constructions eased further during the week. Reports stated that picking is about completed In south Texas counties. Rains in the central and southeastern areas of the belt delayed picking in the latter part of the week. A rather general holding morement throughout the area has kept trading at a very slow pace so far this season. Growers still have shown no inclination to dispose of ginnings in large quantities either through immedlate or forward sales or entry into the loan.
The latter is expected to eventually a fairly substantial portion of the crop according to a cross-section of opinion. Buyer interest covered virtually the whole range of new crop ginnings. Light growers' offerings were finding ready takers with demand at practically points exceding the small overall volume being released, at this time. chants shippers continued to take up contract cotton where the quality range fulfilled Deliveries against earlier commitments again represented 8 sizable part of the current movement. Prices offered by buyers for grades and staples constituting the bulk of this season's crop remained under producers, ideas at which would sell freely.
This category in most Instances continued to reflect levels somewhat below C. C. loan values. Quotations for qualities from gelective growths remained at more attractive levels. These embraced the extremely longer lengths produced in the eastern portions of this area, and the newly developed ern portion.
for former Acala strain in far westthen were substantially above, while those for the latter about equaled loan values. Inquiries were again relatively and from both domestic and foreign consuming centers, the forstrongly predominating. Demand primarily for middling and higher in staples ranging through inch but centering principally" in and around 1 inch. Shippers' offerings continued rather light in covering both immediate and forward requirements. Mills were showing most interest in dis: tant deliveries.
Mild weather prevailed throughout western producing areas. Light showers reported in southern Arizona but the remainder of the ter. ritory was open and clear. Maximum temperatures were mostly in the middle to upper eighties with night readings at a few locations dipping to. the mid-forties.
Picking has now expanded to include most localities and receipts gins are said to be Increasing daily. Some plants are now operating on a 24-hour schedule. Farm labor remains fairly plentiful. French Coal Miners Strike PARIS- (U.P.) Some 350,000 French coal miners struck in the government- owned mines today, offering a fresh threat to the uneasy coalition government of Premier Henri Queuille.

That gives you an idea as to camp conditions. "Yet the last communist committee: which tried to entice them back to their Russian dominated homelands succeeded in getting exactly one person- one, person, mind you- to return. Keating paused, then concluded: And there are more than 5400 persons in that camp with homes. in the Russian-controlled countries! One out of 5400!" Finds No Reds At every camp he visited, the Congressman said he found It was the same story. No communists.
"I think the whole answer was -stated by a leader of the Jewish at Camp Zielshelm." Keating said. "When I asked him the question, he said to me: "Congressman, my wife and three children were killed under a dictator. ship. Most of the people lost: their families under dictatorship. It doesn't matter whether they're on the right or the lett-fascist or munist-dictatorships are all the same.
I hate them! "That just about summed up the story of most of the displaced persons, as far as communism is concerned. I wish I could be as sure of the answers to some of the other questions I asked in Europe as I am that you won't find communists in D. P. camps!"

Military Help for China Urged WASHINGTON House foreign affairs subcommittee today again urged that military, as well as economic aid, be supplied to China to help stem the growing force of communism. Failure to do so, the subcommittee will mean that the United States and other democracies have abandoned China to the Communists. The subcommittee said the Communists have been using China as a proving ground for techniques to conquer 1,500,000,000 of the world's backward peoples.
The subcommittee, headed by Representative Frances P. Bolton (R-Ohio), issued a report analyzing Communist tactics and strategy in China.

State Architects Barred From Jobs Independent architects in California would like to work on the reported $500,000,000 in construction for which the state is advertising for architects and engineers, but are limited by civil service requirements, according to W. Francis Parsons, who recently returned from the annual convention of the California Council of Architects.
Mr. Parsons said the state now requires architects and engineers to hold permanent civil service appointments, excluding from state employment the major portion of California architects. He said the convention, held last week in Yosemite National Park, discussed at length the possibility of legislation which would eliminate the necessity of importing engineers and architects from other areas, thereby utilizing the abundance of professional men now in state. convention was atended by more than 400 California architects their families, including Mr. and Mrs.

The next time, however, a short, lean faced, white haired veteran of two WATS all set to slap them down- provided, of course, that he's re elected. No Truth And Congressman Kenneth -B.
Keating, New York Republican, has no axe to grind on the issue. He just doesn't think there's one iota of truth in rumors, and right now, he's probably the best-informed member of Congress on the subject, Late last week, he returned from several weeks tour of Europe, taken strictly on his own, incidentally. During that time, he visited D. P. camps in several countries, spending considerable time in eight of the largest in Europe which once included people of almost every nationality and religion.
His conclusion, after endless investigation and questioning: "There are no grounds fears about communists coming to us out of the D. P. no grounds whatever!" War Veteran The slight, quiet-voiced lawyer who served as a sergeant in World War. One and added enough overseas experience in World War Two to make him a colonel (with a postwar promotion to brigadier general) made the foregoing statement during a press conference. Later, in an interview, he was more emphatic.
"I bad heard that story, enough to. check it thoroughly," said. "It's not only untrue, it's ridiculous. In most of those D. P.
camps it's about as much as your life is worth even to ask a man if he is a communist. Without exception, they hit the celling at the very question. "And it's no act. Best concrete proof, for example, is found at the camp which is populated largely with Poles, Lithuanians and D. from other countries which have come within the Russian orbit.
Stocks Up, Break Blue Monday Jinx NEW YORK-(P) Stocks moved ahead today in a quiet market, breaking the blue Monday jinx of recent weeks. -Gains were from fractions. to around a point in contrast to the last three Mondays when the list turned lower. After a mixed opening with narrow changes in quotations, most started adding fractions in later trading that put the majority of them on the plus side. Oils were favorites, although gains in steels and chemicals pushed further forward.
Rails, slow in establishing opening prices, entered the rising trend around noon. Utilities, airlines and "aircrafts were steady and slow. Some of the best gains were made by U. S. Steel.
Chrysler, Firestone, American Smelting, Dow Chemical, Du' Pont, Southern Railway, Standard Oil (N. Gulf Oil, Allied Chemical and Lockheed. Tending down at one time were Woolworth, Western Union, Eastman Kodak, American Tobacco and National Distillers. New England Electric System touched a new low for 1948. Curb market stocks were narrowly mixed and trading quiet.
On the up- side were Pancoastal Oil, Pantepec Oil and Creole Petroleum, while tending downward were CoIon Development, General Plywood and Cities Service. The bond market was irregular. and quiet. U. S.
government securities in the over the counter market were steady and quiet. Lawyers Want Orthodox Fees TOKYO -(INS) Sadamichi Firazawa, 56-year-old Japanese watercolor artist who last week "confessed" to the poison murder of 12 Tokyo bank employes, made a unique offer to his defense attorneys. He offered them a process, which he said was unpatented, for their fees. The process: A method whereby. hens lay.
eggs that are preseasoned. Hirazawa explained that he fed the hens a mixture of hamburger and bran sprinkled with salt, pepper and ketchup. The finished prodact, nicely encased in a shell, has all these flavors, 'he said. Hirasawa's attorneys indicated they preferred their fees in a ditferent medinm. Tokyo police said Hirazawa admitted he was the man who robbed a Tokyo bank last January of 000 yen after persuading bank employes to take "medicine" which turned out to be poison.
BAKER STREET FLORIST 1217 Baker Street Phone 3-5416 Night Phone 3-1128 FUNERAL DESIGNS OUR SPECIALTY We Deliver Flowers Telegraphed Anywhere WASHINGTON- UP. The big bate on the Berlin crisis begins today in the United Nations. That debate will have its. roots in the main events leading up to the crisis. They are outlined here.
These are two kinds eventseconomic and political- -which are at the heart of the struggle for future of all Germany. That strug. gle is between Rugsla and its wartime allies: the United States, Britain and France. Just remember that in 1945 the four nations divided Germany into four zones, each occupying one, and they divided Berlin into four sectors, each occupying one. To Work Together The four were supposed to work together to restore Germany economically-by getting trade, business and jobs going again- and in time to restore it politically--by letting the Germans set up their own government.
But Berlin was a danger spot from the beginning. Russia and the western powers couldn't agree on the kind of government they'd let Germany have. So early this year the western powers went ahead with their own ideas and started to create a new German government. It hasn't been set up yet, but the western powers and the- Germans living in their zones are working on it. When it starts, it will be independent of the Germans in the sian zone, unless the Russians want to take part.
The Russians got so mad about this they began limiting the amount of supplies the western powers could send into their sectors of Berlin. Money Reform Then in June the western powers reformed the money in their zone. This was done to try to bring down prices, wipe out black markets, and helf business by creating confidence in the money circulated there. Almost immedlately the Russians cracked back by reforming the money not only in their zone but in all Berlin, including the sectors controlled by the western powers. Then, almoat at once, the western powers cracked back by extending their money reform from their zones of Germany to their sectors of Berlin.
So two kinds of money were circulating in Berlin. The Russians said this was too much mess. They cracked back hard; they refused to let the western powers send in any supplies by train, truck or boat to their sectors of Berlin. The western powers started in supplies by plane. They've been doing that since early in the summer.
It's tremendously expensive and may bog down when bad weather sets in. Russia not only has refused to lift the land blockade, but is talking of blockading supplies by plane, too. So the west has appealed to the U. N. Orer the week end the Russians revealed that the real reason for the land blockade is not the money reforin in Berlin but the new government the west is setting up in westlern Germany.
