I In an interview before leaving | for Alabama, the Senator said: | \The time has come for Sec- | retary of Defense Forrestal to I knock some heads together, or if I need be, to knock some heads off, | to carry out the intentions of the | law passed to give us unification J in fact and not in fancy, I Hill was a member of the Sen- i ate Armed Services subcommittee ; which began studying unification ; legislation in 1944. He caid \the I Navy raised such strong objec- ! tions” that the bill was not ap- I proved until last year. “But the J JIPiEit and intent of the act have | not been carried' out,” Hill said. ■ The veteran Alabama senator ? did not single out any specific instances, but the Air Force and ’ Navy have been quarreling opeh- i ly over their sky assignments. Air Force advocates claim that despite service agreements on wartime tasks the Navy is trying to cut into’the Air Force’s long- range bombing job with its car rier based planes. HiH said the country now is M \confronted by two dangerous ” situations” because the Armed Services have not settled their disputes. The “first danger”, he said, is that “we do not have a team of Armed Forces which Congress felt was necessary for defence. The three separate services are fighting one another. “The second danger is those fellows are asking so much mon ey without unification that it is a threat to our economy.” “We simply cannot push up the cost of our defense without doing grave damage to this country’s economy.” Hill said the national debt after World War I was $26,000,000,000 while the nert budget may pro vide about $15,000,000,000 for defense alone. “It would be interesting to know,” he continued, “hov much of the money we give the Armed Services is used in .their fight against each other rather than in building-a team to give us the de fense which the unification act contemplated.” In that connection, the military chiefs already have received some prodding from the chairman of the President’s council of Eco- monic Advisers, Edwin G. Nourse. He told a pentagon conference early this month the men '“en trusted with the military effort” should “direct every dollar to the point of greatest effectiveness, and forego every outlay based on traditional practice, corps prides or dispensable ceremony.” Crowd Saved, from an 800-Pound Wild Steer CHICAGO, Nov. 30 (IB )—'Ten thousand persons cheered a 48- year-old Texas stockman lact night for his heroic role in an Unscheduled event at the hosre show at the International Live stock exposition. An 800-pound steer leaped a ■ five-foot fence into the massed spectatos at the chow. There were screams of terror from among the crowd. Lloyd Jinkens of Fort Worth, Tex., cattle breeder and quarter horse exhibitor, spurred his horse to the fence, cleared it with a leap from the saddle, bull-dozzed L the animal and led it back into the arena. Police Capt. Frank Reynolds saia that Jinkens’ action was the Most heroic he ever had seen.

ECONOMISTS IN HAPPY MOOD AS OMENS IMPROVE W A S H IN G T O N , Nov. 30 (IP) —Government economists found good omens today for the future in surveys along the nation’s in dustrial front. These reports included: 1. A new peacetime production record . in October — almost double the pre-war average. 2. Fewer strikes the first 10 months of 1948 than in the two preceding years. 3. An 1 1 per cent drop in prices of farm products since January’s postwar peak. Although there were some dark spots on the industrial picture the total effect appeared cheering. In sizing up the production records, the Federal Reserve Board said last night that last month’s output boosted its index three points to a level 95 per cent above 4He~l935-39 average. The previous high was February’s 94 per cent, but the guage fell to 87 per cent in April and July. Production of manufactured goods alorie, the Board said, bet ter than doubled the pre-war mark, with durable items turned out at a rate 130 per cent above the pre-war scale and non-durable goods produced at a 79 per cent clip. k The Federal Reslvve credited the record October upswung main ly jto new’ production marks in the steel and automobile industries. The Board noted, however, that department store sales were not making their usual seasonal rise and that “prices of foods and some other products declined.” Nutritionists estimate that nine-tenths of theTuiman race liv es andg^esinfoodpoverty. 'X' camel can drink 25 gallons of water in Half an hour. 'the new sason marked an im portant milestone in music, too, for television carried the annual pageant to a living room and bar-and grill audience estimated at 2,000,000 — most of whom had never - glimpsed the color-filled stage from a house seat It was a highly jeweled and ex cited audience which flocked to see Verdi’s \Otello a somber tale of murder and suicide. Some veteran opera-goers said the choice of the heavier opera was deliberate — to discourage between-the-acts bar shenanigans which had stolen headlines in past years. Earlier director Ed- w'ard Johnson had appealed to 1 the press to ignore publicity-seek ing exhibitions. Whatever the reason, it was an opening almost totalyy with out incident other than the ar-. rival of celebrities in the glare of television floodlights and the flash of photographers’ bulbs. First night regulars — society people, stage and opera person alities — started to arrive short ly before 8 p.m. (EST). But the climax was reached for the by standers when Miss Truman made her appearence 10 or 15 minutes after the opera had started. She was smiling and pretty in a full, draped dress of white silk, whose modest decollete was broken by an oversized scraf — almost a stole — of white fox. Her hostess was Miss Jane Wat son, young daughter of Thomas J. Watson, wealthy New York industrialist. The crowd cheered and applau ded as the President’s daughter entered. After posing briefly for photographers, Miss Truman and her party went on to the Watson box. The party did not enter the big gaudy opera house bar between the acts, but went to the exclusive rooms of the opera club, closed to press and all but a handfull of boxholders and guests. The late arrival of the dowager Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt really was the signal, however, that an other season of opera had start ed. ; As usual, Mrs. George Wash-; ington Kavanaugh arrived wear ing a load of jewelry, from em- erald-and-diamond tiara to an armload of bracelets and four fingers full of enormous single stoned rings. Mrs. Betty Henderson, elderly Stormy Petrel who last year en livened bar proceedings by being photographed with her leg on a table, was greeted wildly. But she conducted herself with con siderable decorum during her three-act occupancy of a table in the bar.

Ho gan announced today the smash ing of a New York.divorce racket ring with the arrest of two men a young housewife on charges of perjury. in connection with div orce actions. Hogen said one of the men, Max Zuckerman, 53, p privat de tective, admitted “flagrant pre jury in hundreds of divorce cas es in the past four years.” He also saidjtis office had ob tained “evidence and statements implicating at least 10 attorneys and maybe more. ” Others arrested were Mrs. Sa ra Ellis, 20-year-old mother of three children, and Samuel Sch- neiderman, 57, a pier watchman. Hogan said Mrs. Ellis admitted she worked with Zuckerman in 35 divorce cases in the past 18 months, sometimes as the “un known woman” in raids preced ing divorce action and also as. a witness giving false testimony to, raids which never occurred.

N. delegation said today Britain no longer insists that Israel give up the Negev desert of southern Palestine. The spokesman said Britain would drop its blanket endorse ment of the Bernadotte plan and that Britain’s position now was close to that of the United States. He said Britain would join the United States in insisting that if Israel wants any more territory than was alotted to it in 1947 U, N. Assembly partition plan, the Jewish state must be willing to make exchanges with the Arabs. The Bernadotte plan, proposed in the final • report by the slain mediator,, would give the Negev to fhe Arabs and western Galilee to the Jews. Last year’s partition-plan gave the Negev to Israel and- western Galilee to the Arabs. Both Jews and Arabs oplosed the Bernadotte plan. The Jews did so because they said loss of the Negev would reduce Israel’s terri tory by three-fifths and they need ed the area for future coloniza tion. The Arabs fought the plan be cause they said it would be a form of recognition of the exis tence of a Jewish state. ; ta w h ich took .over provisional N A N K I N G , N.ov, 30 (IP).— Us-1 m y there is little to h a lt the R e d 1 rule of V e n e zuela several days . u a lly r e l i a t o g j l y uices said today J d rive short of the Y a n g tze Riv- [ago.

The murk cut visibility to a tow yards, grounded planes, slow ed trains and snarled automobile traffic for the fourth successive day. Fgr the third time in three days it forced postponement of the sailing of the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth, already. 13 days behind schedule on its South ampton to New York run. It stopped the Berlin air lift, kept ambassadors, generals and ministers of state from keeping importment appointments, and made millions late for work. .Weather forecasters said there was little prospect , of the fog’s lifting within the next 24 to 48 hours. ■ - MIXED MADAME KAI-SHEK BID tom o rrow .

Her partisans say she is a pow-erful force for international friendship, understanding and good. Her detractors call her an “international glamour girl.” Both agree she is a person of immeasurable charm and graci ousness, plus tremendous force of personality. Dynamic is a word often applied to her. “But,” her critics say, “she turns the personality on when she wants to, and can tur it off just as quickly.” May persons who have seen her often say they do not trust their own reaction's arund her. The im- act of her personality is too strong, they say. She is too good a saleman. Others accept her as a great pa triot—sincere, honest and motiva ted by- the highest principles.
