Taborda headed the Argentine congressional committee which In¬ vestigated subversive activities be¬ fore Congre.ss was dissolved by the June 4, 1943, military revolution. He now is editor of the Buenos Aires newspaper Critics, oppon¬ ent of the military regime and now under suspension. Hc came here when current crisis In Argen¬ tina began.

Fort Monmouth, N. J., Oct 20.— Blackie Halllgan, a Purple Heart pigeon with 40 months overseas service behind him, was revealed today as a gay old bird whose romance with a Pacific belle re¬ aulted in two recruits for the U. S. Army,
Blackie came home from the Wars today for his honorable dis¬ charge with 151 points. While army officials discussca the rights of pigcon-vcterans, niaL-kle's bat¬ man, John Duld discussed Blackie's heroic  deeds  and  hia  love  life.

On Guadalcanal Blackie had an affair with Madame Murphy, a demure but knowing young thing who efficiently preaented him with two sons, which thc Signal Corps recruited. What happened to Madame Murphy when Blackie moved on to Luz6n wa.s apparent¬ ly Blackie's secret. Duld didn't know, but insisted Blackie couldn't have been  ungallant.
Blackie became a hero when a .scouting patrol on Guadalcanal came aoroas a enemy patrol en¬ trenched in force. Tlie Americans ilecldcd to send Blackie back to headquarters with laformatlon. As he flew back, he was hit by mortar fire and part of his chest was shot away — but he completed his flight with the message capsule attached to his leg.
When Maj. Gen. Joseph Patch heard of the exploit he visited Blackie's roast and personally hung the purple heart around his neck.
For when asked what he wanted lo do now. Blackie lookeil down his beak scornfully.
"He wants lo get a good long rest,"  Duld said. '
Washington, Oct 20 (UP)—The administration appeared tonight to beileve that a deflation caused by loss of worker buying power would damage the economy more than a moderate inflation caused by sub¬ stantial wage increases.
The depressing effect of wage cuts resulting from peacetime loss of overtime pay, observers sug¬ gested, would produce Immediate political as well as economic reper¬ cussions.
Of the two dangers, the admin¬ istration   was   said   to   fear  defla¬ tion more than inflation. Cabinet Advlaes Truman
President Truman waa reported to have given considerable weight to the advice of cabinet members who feel that the most urgent step now Is to restore worker pur¬ chasing power.
The Preaident is preparing a wage-price policy announcement for next week, probably Monday.
He conferred for more than an hour today with Price Adminis¬ trator CSiester Bowles and Recon¬ version Director John W, Snyder. They will testify Wednesday be¬ fore the complaints subcommittee of the Senate Small Business Com¬ mittee on wage-price policies for the committee on wage-price poli¬ cies for the construction industry. Thc hearing was postponed laat week to give Mr. Truman a chance lo study the problem, AFL Olves Coat Figures
Meanwhile, the American Fed¬ eration ef Labor claimed that a 20 per cent wage increase in most induitries would add only two to four per cent to production costs. The AFL monthly survey said that while average hourly earnings ef factory workers rose 90 per cent, the wholesale prices of goods they manufactured rose only two per cent between 1928 and 1945. It said industry's increased productivity had cut down unit costs while wsges roae.
The survey did not estimate the effect on production costs of a 30 per  cent wage increaae.
L«bor is demanding a M per cent rise la .faaaio wage rates tb keep taiM^ieme pay at wartime levels. Strikes threaten In many of the vital hea>-y industries. Strike votes by the United Auto¬ mobile Workers (CIO) are sched¬ uled in General Motors Corp. and Chrysler (>>rp. planta next week. Stoy Beguiate Price Beoats
Mr, Truman's statement may outline a method or designate an agency to decide when and how much price relief is necessary to cove» a wage boost He is ex¬ pected to appeal to labor and in¬ dustry to resolve disputes over tills issue by orderly processes rather than by  strike or lockout
His statement also Is expecteJ to lay stress .on thc necessity for b'gher wages for all workers in order to naaintaln purchasing pow¬ er. He prbbably will point out that this can be done under his Aug. 18 executive order. This order per¬ mits wage increases of any amount if they do not raise prices. Wage increases which necessitate price belief must be approved by the Office of Economic Stabilization,
A majority of Mr. Truman's Cabinet and top economic advisers have warned him that deflation is more to be feared than an infla- tlsnary spiral. It waa said. Mem¬ bers of his offlcial family on record as favoring substantial wage rate Increaiea to compensate for loss of wartime earnings include Secre¬ Ury of Labor Lewis B.

HELP BY BRITISH TO DUIH JAVA
Insurgents Control Interior of Island; Prepare for War
By CHABLES BOWEB
BaUvta. Oct 30. (UP)—Rebel Uou* Indonesian BatienBtiita chal¬ lenged British military interven¬ tion In Java today and threatened to march on Batavia unless the Dutch grant their Independence demand*.
Batavia Itself was quiet, with British regulars patrolling the streets, but the Interior was re¬ ported alive with bands of native insurgents looting and terrorizing the countryside. Deflaat Broadeaat
The nationalist radio at Soera¬ baja — now apparently entirely In rebel hands — broadcaat a defiant proclamation to thc native population of Batavla calling for an armed uprising within the Island    capital.
The broadcast Incited the peo¬ ple to tear down Dutch flags in Batavla. It declared that a rebel arnw would "surround" the city if ttie Dutch failed to get out "within a few days."
Simultaneously, the nationalist newspaper Merdeka In Batavia published an editorial condemning use of British troops to restore Dutch  rule in the Indies.
"A million machine guns and a million 'Dutch' aoldiers lent from all parts of Uie world cannot break the fighting spirit ot the Indonesian people^" the editorial said. Welcomes Inquiry
Dr. Subardjo, foreign minister of the nationalist "government", was equally blunt In his denunciation of British Intervention. He told the United Press he would welcome a British investigating commission to examine condilions on the spot.
Evidence of the turmoil prevail¬ ing in the interior, where , the nationalists appeared to be In com¬ plete control, came from the Dutch Ancla news agency.
Aneta correspondents said 81 Netherlands, including 11 women and four children, had been kid¬ napped from a train enroute to Bandoeng more than two weeks ugo and were being held by the .ir.tionalists as hostages.
The rebels, Aneta said, have threatened to kill all the hostages if the Dutch  attacked them.

Rhee made an tinscheduled ap¬ pearance at a welcome celebration staged for the Americans by 60,000 Koreans which was broadcast over the local radde to every comer ot the countiy.
Home from V. 8.
It was his first public act since be returned from exile in the UniUd States last Tuesday, and the former preaident of the Korean provisional government seized the opportunity to challenge the dual occupation and the Intentions of the Russians In the north,  ^
He received a tremendous ova¬ tion when he warned both Russia and the United CKates that Korea would not tolerate a prolonged division of the eountry by foreign armies.
"We remained unconquered and undivided through all the years under Japanese oppression," he de¬ clared. "We shall fight to remain so, at the cost of our very lives. Addresees V. & Offleen
"The Allied Powers might as well know this now," he added, turning to L*. Gen. John R. Hodge, com¬ mander of U. S. occupation forces, and Maj, Gen. Archibald V, Arnold, mllitarry governor in the American occupation zone, who shared the platform with him,
Rhee said neither he nor the American military commanders from (Jen. Douglas MacArthur down could explain why Korea had been divided in two, with the Rus¬ sians holding everything north of the 38th parallel and the Ameri¬ cans all south of that line.
"What program is the 38th par¬ allel part of?" he demanded. "Is the United States government co¬ operating with the army that oc¬ cupies the northern half of Korea? Is the military government co-op- erntlng with that army?

Eatimating that there arc more than 2,000 I.

Instead, the American officials havc decided to seek overall legislative action on the part of the Allied Control Council outlawing cartels. This legislation is now under study.

French to Vote on Type Of Future Government
By HERBERT O. KWO
Paris, Oct. 20. (UP) -An es¬ timated 24,000,000 French men and women will vote In national elec¬ tions tomorrow for the first time since 1938 to determine whether they want a new constitution to replace the document of 1875 which governed   the  Third  Republic.
At the same time, the French vote for the nien Who either be¬ come the country's representatives under the old constitution, or drafters of a new constitution. That vote will be quite apart from the one affecting the future type of  government.
For the first time In the history of France women will be  allowed to vote. Vote on Conatltutlon Important
By far the most important part of the election will be the ques¬ tion of a constitution. In effect it will decide Gen. C!harles de Gaulle's   political   fate.
The referendum asks two ques¬ tions :
"1.—Do you wish that the body elected today form a constituent assembly?
'2.—If the clegtorate votes "Yes' to the first question, do you ap¬ prove of the administrative power's being exercised in accordance with
confidence for De Gaulle, because it provides that the Dc Gaulle provisional government could nof be overthrown by the newly- elected assembly. Socialists  Will  Lead
Political observers predict that the Socialists will emerge as France's strongest political party. De Gaulle's electoral aims have been identical with those of the socialists and, apparently convinced of a sweeping Socialist victory, he was reported reliably already busy drawing up a post-election cabinet, which undoubtedly will be a national coalition one, to rule thc country during the seven-month period   of  thc   constituent  asaebly.
The partiea backing De Gaulle are the Socialists, New Republic party. Socialist and Democratic Union of rcsiatane, the papular Republican movement and Repub¬ lican movement and Republican federation.
The revolutionary troops, using tanks and artillery, were resisting the counter-attack. Communists were reported to have obtained arms and uniforms by assaulting a local -barracks. Say Attack Beaten Ott
The revolutionary government later announced the attack against the military achool had been re¬ pelled by their forces, using two airplanes and a half dozen armored cars,'
Medina supporters ' were barri¬ caded in the $20,000,000 El Silencio housing project, built by Medina, and cars filled with armed national guardsmen and Communists stiU rosm Lhe.,Jtreets.
A  U.S.  embassy car,  flying the American   flag,   was   fired   on   bjr armed     civilians     while     driving through the San Augustin section. The   car   was   occupied    by   the chauffeur and an embassy messen¬ ger,   neither   of   them   Americans. They narrowly avoided being hit A report that revolutionary pro¬ visional  president Romulo  Bettan- court had been seriously wounded in the afternoon's  fighting proved unfounded.      This    correspondent talked to Bettancourt personally to¬ night.
(The pro-Medina radio Tochlra — In western Venezuela — broad¬ cast an urgent bulletin late thia afternoon claiming Medina, at the head of loyal troops, had entered Mlraflorcs, presidential palace In Caracas, after heavy fighting In adjacent streets.) Generals Join Revolt
Earlier. Maj. Mario Vargas, mem¬ ber of the revolutionary junta, an¬ nounced that Gen. I.«pez Henriques commander of the all-Important l»s Andes military zone, had pledged himself to the revolution, along with Gen. L<eon Jurado, gov¬ ernor of Falcon state, also in western Venezuela.
A seven-man revolutionary junta headed by Socialist leader Romulo Bettancourt and Including civilian and military leaders of the move¬ ment, was established early today. The junta tonight named Dr, Luis Lander Encargado minister of public works: Dr. Carlos Dlscoll treasury minister; Dr. Leonardo Ruiz Plnedo, secretary of the junta and .Tuan Perez Alfonso, counsellor for the junta. All are active mem¬ bers of Democratic Action party. (Continued on Page A-14)
