Ohio Firm Is Called Negligent In Coast Guard Investigation Of New Jersey Arms Blast Tip To 50 Million RED PLAY ON FEAR! State Department Rips Into Petition As A Farce And Trap. Washington, Aug. 12 (UP) The State Department has warned 450 American organizations, government agencies and U. S. foreign service missions against falling for the Communist-inspired Stockholm peace petition, it was learned today.

In an elaborate analysis that is being given the widest possible circulation among Influential American groups at home and abroad, the department tore into the Stockholm petition as a "trap" and a "phony Issue" designed to cover Russia's "aggression and obstruction." "The Soviet Government Is attempting to camouflage the fact that this is exclusively a Communist programs," the analysis said. It added that the "naked resort to force by Communism in the outrageous Invasion of South Korea" reduces the Moscow peace offensive to "a farce." The department's analysis said the world-wide campaign for signatures to the Stockholm petition is "clearly designed to exploit for Soviet benefit" such universal sentiments as: (1) The fear of war and atomic bombardment; and (2) concern among peoples of the West that rearmament may lower their living standards. WARNING REACHES 80 MILLION. The 450 private American groups now receiving the analysis include farm, labor, veterans, women's and civic organizations with a combined membership of about 50 million persons. State Department officials told a reporter that the Communists were using various devices to get signatures for the Stockholm petition.

Varying versions of the petition which deals primarily with atomic weapons have been drafted. One tactic, it was said, was to ask people, "Do you want war or peace?" Many signers, however, have changed their minds after discovering the true nature of the petition. The State Department has been advised that in Copenhagen, for example, papers had to quit publishing names of those who wanted to withdraw from the petition, because the list was too long. "NICE PEOPLE 6UCKED IN." "All kinds of nice people are getting sucked In," one Department official said. The State Department analysis said the Communists were trying to get between 400 million and 500 million signatures on the petition by the opening of the Second World Congress of Partisans of Peace, which is to meet In Europe during the latter part of October.

The department also said it had heard reports that Russia may present the signatures to the UN General Assembly this fall, "claiming universal backing of the repeatedly rejected phony Soviet plan of atom weapon control." In its analysis, the State Department said these are "the Kremlin's chief aims" in non-Communist areas: "(D To nullify the defensive value of United States superiority in atom weapons both to the United States and its allies by making any use of the atom weapon seem morally Indefensible. "(2) To weaken the support of people in non-Communist countries for their nationalist governments by creating doubts concerning the wisdom of the current foreign policy of the United States and its supporters. "(3) To lure non-Communist peoples into seeming support of Soviet policy, by making them appear to back the USSR in Its self-appointed role of the real champion of world peace. "(4) To trick non-Communist peoples into abetting Communist efforts to sabotage the Western security measures. "(5) To raise doubts among the American people of the reliability of the populations of Its supporters In the event of war.

"(6) To Identify aggression with use of the atom bomb and minimize public condemnation of aggression by other means, the Invasion of the Republic of Korea by troops of the puppet regime of North Korea. Arms And Food Given For Military Build-Up Against French Indo-China. BY TILLMAN Dt'RDIN. A', y. Timet Cable.

Saigon, Aug. 12 Precise and comprehensive details of a program of training for 20,000 to 30,000 Vietminh troops In CommuniBt southwest China were given in an official release published here today. The communique also describes other forms of Chinese Communist-Vletminh collaboration, including the supply of arms and lood to Vietminh by the Chinese Communists and assistance to the Chinese Reds by Vietminh in the fighting of anti-Communist 'guerrillas. Today's release marks the first time that a roundup of information on Vietmlnh-Chlnese Communist mutual assistance arrangements has been made public hcie, although piecemeal details have been coming out for the last several weeks. The release was carried In the newspaper L'Echo Du Vietnam, semloffical organ of the Vietnam government.

It was inconspicuously printed and merely labeled as a "communique," but it is nevertheless known to be based on carefully processed official information, and French military authorities here affirm Its accuracy and authenticity. BUILD CP FOR FUTURE. The communique makes clear that, with Chinese help, Vietminh is building -toward a greatly increased and well-armed military force that, in a matter of months, may be able to strike against the Franco-Vietnamese troops of Indo-China with powerful and large-ecale attacks. Today'e communique says the Chinese government has promised to provide Vietminh with arms and a mission of 300 men. Food supplies for northern Vietnam and the areas under Vietminh are stated to have been seen being brought from Anlat in the southwest of China in trucks handled by uniformed Vietminh soldiers.

More than 20,000 Vietminh troops are asserted to be based at Wen-shan, Yenshan, Mallpo, Hokow, and Kwangnan In Yunnan where they are under training by Chinese Instructors. They wear Chinese uniforms, it is declared. WORK ON ROADS. The men have Chinese arms and, presumably as reciprocal aid to China for their training, they combat anti-Communist guerrillas In southeast Yunnan and work at Improving the roads from Yunnan to the Vietnam border. Another training center is reported located north of the Vietnam border town of Trung Khan Phu.

In Kwangtung, several thousand Vletmin troops are under training and at the same time fighting guerrillas in the mountainous region across the border from Mop-cay in Vietnam. Vletmin troop are also stated to be on duty at th! airfields In Kwangsi. In Preparedness Drive, Texas Senator Says. Defense Dollar Way Down In "Purchasing Power" GOP Joins Appeal. Washington, Aug.

12 (AP) Sen. Lyndon Johnson, Democrat, Texas, called tonight for immediate control of prices as "a military necessity." Such action is Imperative, Senator Johnson added, because price Increases on military goods within the last six weeks "have reduced the purchasing power of our defense dollnrs as much as 50 per cent In some Instances." The Texas Senator quoted the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force as saying that the recent sudden price increases "are one of the major problems complicating our preparedness planning at this time." Senator Johnson spoke out as two Republican leaders joined with Senate Democratic chiefs In predicting passage next week of a home-front mobilization bill giving President Truman broad powers over the nation's economy. SENATE BILL READIED. The Senate measure like the bill already overwhelmingly approved by the House would let Mr. Truman invoke wage -price -rationing controls whenever he saw fit.

Sen. Eugene Millikln, Republican, Colorado, chairman "of the conference of all Republican Senators, told reporters: "As of now, It looks as though the Senate bill in its final form will be pretty much like the House measure." On the Democratic side, Sen. John J. Sparkman, Alabama, chief drafter of the Senate measure, reiterated that Administration leaders were confident the bill would pass by a lopsided vole. TAXl'AVER TO SUFFER Senator Johnson, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, concentrated in his statement on the rising cost of defense items.

Hut he did not suggest that price control be limited to those materials. Senator Johnson said: "If the prices on defense Items are not brought under control, the American taxpayer is going to suffer seriously and unnecessarily. "At the present rate, it is entirely possible, that the $10 billion requested by the armed services two weeks ago may buy only $5 billion worth of fighting equipment. "This means that the taxpayers vill get 50 cents on the dollar for their investment in defense. It also means that the proposed $5 billion tax Increase could be eaten up entirely by inflated prices." "ENORMOUS" HIKES CITED.

Senator Johnson said that if the military price increases continued he would urge that an armed services subcommittee, which he heads, "investigate the situation thoroughly." The cost of basic military equipment, Senator Johnson said, has increased enormously in the last 10 years. He gave this picture: "When we began our preparedness program In 1939, B-17 bombers cost today's B-86 costs more than S3 million. "Destroyers cost $7 million each In 1939, hut now they cost $40 million. Light tanks could he produced for J27.000 In 1939, but to-day they cost $225,000." At the peak of World War II In 1944, Senator Johnson added, "we could equip an infantry division for $144 million now the cost Is $74 million." Six years ago, he said, an armored division could be outfitted for J3) million, as compared with $199 million today.

13 (Sunday) (AP) New Red forces crashed across the Naktong River near Taegu and began attacks which may signal the start, of a massive offensive. The latest crossing was made by )0 to 800 Red troops which streamed across the muddy river virtually on the heels of a full tank supported division which reuthed the Naktong Saturday. Cnlts of the U. 8. 25th Infantry Division sped up from the South to help tighten the stretched American defense line.

The new Communist thrusts hit in a one-two punch aimed at both flanks of the U. S. First Cavalry positions west of Taegu, front line supply base. The North Koreans' expected offensive which C. S.

officials predicteil would be a "massive" one probably will come from the Waegwan area air miles northwest of Taegu. MAIN SITI'LY LINK CUT. The Reds already had cut the main supply route 25 miles southwest of Taegu. They had roadblocks at two points on this load, Taegu Is 55 air miles northwest of the major port of Fusan. An Intelligence officer at (Jen.

Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said If the long-awaited all-out Red drive hadn't already begun, "It will any minute now." At dawn Sunday the Reds forged two new crossings with fsm COO to 800 men. One force got to the east hank at the northern end of the First Cavalry. This was In the area of Waegwan where they already had established a bridgehead and wlierei most of the 00,000 North Korean troops were massed. CROSS FARTHER SOUTH. Tha other crossing was to the south were the First Cavalry links up with the U.

S. 2lth Infantry Division. The Reds also- had a potent bridgehead on the 21th's sector around Changnyong, 23 air milea southwest of Taegu. It was behind the Changnyong bridgehead that the supply route was severed by the Red roadblocks. One was at Mlryang, 25 miles south of Taegu.

The other, at Yongsan, rut off supplies to the 21th Division. The Naktong threats were the most critical of three points of heavy action along the Korean warfront. Across the UN beachhead on the east coast, Pohang still was a "No Man's Land." Max Desfor, Associated Press photographer, reported from that front Sunday that there hnj been no major action during th? night. STILL HOLDING AIR FIELD. The Americans retained control of the valuable air field, six miles southeast of the town, and of the port facilities, also outside the town proper.

General MacArthur's headquarters early Sunday said the situation at Pohang was believed to be "much improved." In the Chinju sector, near the Southern anchor of the 140-mlle front, desperate Communist troops had thrown a roadblock across the main road supplying the Army's 35th Division and Fifth Regimental Combat Team. New York, Aue. 12 (INS) A Coast Guard investigation boaul said tonight that it had found no direct evidence of sabotage in the South A N. munitions blast whirh killed 31 persons and Injured hundreds May 19. But it did not "exclude" sabotage as a possible cause.

Precise cnuso of the explosion was described in a 20-page investigation board report as "unknown," but the report said an "erroneous impression" by an Ohio munitions firm might have been the contributing cause. The board sharply mstigHted the Kllgore Manufacturing Co. of Westervllle, Ohio, and two other companies which it charged were remiss in handling the explosives. The report said the loading and unloading of the tons of antitank and nntl-personnel mines en route to l'arlilstaii and 45 tons of dynamite hound for Afghanistan were not done properly. Vice Adm; Merlia Coast Guard Commandant, said was turning 6ver to' the Attoincy General to determine if there was any violation of Federal regulations governing the carrying of explosives.

The board said the most probable cause of the explosion "was the: accidental detonation of a rase of anti-tank mines In a freight car, or while being transferred Irom a freight car dun to the eases being sensitive to shock." The Coast Guard board said the Kile.oie firm erred in assuming that (1) The plans and specifications under which the mines were manufactured and assembled conformed to approved S. Army plans and specifications. (2) The assembly and packaging of the mines and fuses complied with Interstate Commerce regulations. For Supreme Command In Europe's Defense. Single Defense Chief Urged By Churchill American Is Favored For Role.

Washington, Aug. 12 (AP) Strong sentiment Is reported developing among North Atlantic Treaty nations, with some support here, for the creation of a supreme military command over Western European defense forces. French officials, whose government has requested more American troops In Kurnpe, have Informally told American representatives that the rommander should be an American. Britain and other countries are said generally to share this view. They feel the United States has a kind of final responsibility for the defense of the West because of its total resources.

The major reluctance to creating a single military leadership for the Atlantic area has stemmed from military authorities here in the past. They have felt, according to authoritative Information, that assumption of such leadership by the United States might cause the Europeans to ease up on their defense program now being expanded to meet the new threats of Red aggression arising from the Korean crisis. Public attention has been focused anew on the problem of top military organization by the action of the European Consultative Assembly In approving Winston Church-Ill's proposal yesterday for a unified European army. The Assembly asserted the European defense establishment should be headed by a single defense minister. American officials said they welcomed the, Assembly's action and the support which It obtained from such leaders as Belgium's Taul Henri Spank.

But they would not commit themselves at once on whether the Churchill plan should he put into effect by the F.uropean nations. The American Government has long advocated non-Communist unity In Europe. But In the present world emorgency American policy makers appear to be primarily concerned with promoting the unity of non-Communist countries everywhere. They regard the problem of American defense as part of a larger problem of North Atlantic defense. Toe kind of command setup which may eventually be worked out would probably evolve In stages rather than In one step, barring some new International emergency which would increase the dangers of an all out war with Russia.

At present, for example, there Is understood to he a growing acceptance of the Idea of centralized staff for the North Atlantic military. This would not be a command staff in the usual sense but would be more a planning staff. However, it obviously could be so set up as to move quickly Into command stage.

12 (AP) The Chairman of the Marlon County Communist party tonight termed the move of Thomas R. Hutson, State Labor Commissioner, to drive Communists out of Indiana industries "a threat to all organized labor." Ben Cohen, the chairman, said that the party "demands that Governor Schricker fire Hutson for misusing the functions of his office." "The action of Labor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson In calling a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce with officials of the AFL and CIO for the expressed purpose of driving from private employment anyone whom the bosses label as 'Communist' Is a threat to all organized labor and to all militant union men," Mr Cohen said. "It Is aimed not only at Communist workers but at any workers who fight for a wage increase, better working conditions and gainst the inhuman speedup of the bosses. "Under cover of the Korean War hysteria, attempts are made to hamstring and destroy the organizations of the workers.

The action uf Chamber of Commerce stooge Huston Is clearly unconstitutional. It attempt to revive sgaln in different clothing the hated blacklist which Indiana workers knew so well during the period In which they were organizing their unions." In Washington, Sen. Karl Mundt, Republican, South Dakota and Sen. Homer Ferguson, Republican, Michigan, said today their anti-Communist bill would not curb free speech. They noted that President Truman had said in a mes-tage to Congress last week that "there are some people who wish us to enact laws which would seriously damage the right to free speech" and which could be used against groups engaged In "unpopular political activities." Many lawmakers regarded this as an attack on the Mundt-Ferguson bill requiring the registration of Communist party members, denying them appointive Federal lobs and banning them from getting passports.

But Senator Mundt and Senator Ferguson said that their bill, which is opposed by administration leaders In the Senate, would carry out moat of the proposals made by the President for ling up the anti-subvtrsion hws. 1 Editorials Garden News 39 Ohio: Considerable cloudiness in South portion, continued cool.

Sheen 42 Arrangements 1 Washington, Aug. 12 (AP) Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters is proposing Hint the terms of any censorship Imposed In the Korean war zone apply to news gathering in the United States as well, officials here said today. This counterproposal from the Far East Command came as the Pentagon, backed by even higher Washington officials, was urging General MacArthur's headquarters to put Into effect a censorship-for-mllitary-security. So far as is known, no mandatory order lias gone forth from Washington to the Tokyo and field commands.

Dispatches up to now apparently have been couched in terms of recommendations or suggestions. However, the reported counterproposal from (icnernl MacArthur's headquarters apparently Is at variance with thinking here. President Triiniaii has been described as deeply concerned about published and broadcast Information coming rom the Far East. transports and military cargo ships from the West or East Coasts, cither before or after their departure. The Pentagon wants the Far East Command to set up a definite code which will make clear to war correspondents what will and what will not be of possible aid to the enemy in planning his daily tactical operations.

In this connection, some officials here have expressed particular concern over release of battlefrout Information which they said Identified specific units, gave the exact time of their landing In Korea and, In other Instances, forecast troop movements and the routes that would be taken. Tentagon officials say they do not blame the war correspondents, hut the failure to provide censorship guidance such as was established when American forces entered theaters of operation In World War IL Moreover, those officials point ou' that the military Itself has given out some Information of possible value to the enemy. tamp News It Club Calendar 10 As explained In authoritative quarters, the top level view here Is about like this: (I) Instances of public disclosure of tactical military information of value to the enemy have taken place In the Far East. (2) Information released here generally has been within the hounds of military security, although a new tightening up was announced yesterday by the Defense Department. Among other things, that announcement forbade any further announcements by the armed forces of the destination of units which have been alerted.

(Since the start of the Korean War, all of the armed forces have announced the general destination In disclosing that divisions, smaller troop units, Air Force outfits and Navy ships were being readied for overseas service.) It was disclosed today that Louis Johnson, Secretary of Defense, had also issued another order forbidding the armed forees to announc the movements of naval vessel) Obituaries 6 West portion.
