Thousands of hunters combed ithe forests of tho region yester¬ day, first day of the small game i*eason. The game supply was up 10, IS and as much as 2S per cent In aome aectori. Carl C. Stainbrook, diatrict auperviaor of the state Game Commisaion, reported a heavier kill than reported for the first day laat year. But while grouse, ringnecks, squirrels and rabbits were more plentiful than usual, six regional hunters were shot In separate ac- cidenta. Another died of a heart attack. Diea in Field Nicholas Chlrico, widely known former hotel keeper on Alter street In Hazleton, died In the fieid. He was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Hospital where he waa taken by Hazleton Commun itjr Ambulance after being strick¬ en Ul while hunting at Syberts¬ ville about 11 yesterday moraing. Kenneth J. Petry, 28, of RD3 East Stroudsburg, was seriously wounded when shot by a hunting companion on a farm near Stroudsburg. He was struck by an estimated 50 shotgun pellets when one of his three compan ions fired at a grouse from a distance of 30 yarda. Tlie victim was taken to General Hospital EUurt Stroudsburg, where his con¬ dition was reported serious. Boy Shot George Brown, 16, aoh of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Brown of Wap¬ wallopen was struck by shotgun pellets fired by an unidentified hunter In the Pond Hill area.

President Klsenhower's belated request that the debt celling be raised set off much debate in the closing days of the 1953 session of Congress. His request was not prrantcd. Bonds Near Limit George pointed out In an Inter¬ view that the Treasury's most re¬ cent bond issue is pushing the national delJt to within $350,000,000 of the present legal ceiling of 1275,000,000,000. He said it Is possible but un¬ likely that the Treasury can stay within the limit until next March when heavy tax collections will swell the government b«mk ac- coimts. But to do so, he eaid, tax collections, meanwhile, "would have to be very good «nd expendi¬ tures would have to be cut dras¬ tically." Might Agre* Asked if he would be more In¬ clined to go with a new limit, he replied: "If conditions indicate that it la necessary, I would." ¦When Mr. Elsenhower aaked last July that Congress raise the debt limit to $290,000,000,000, the House quickly paaiied the necea¬ sary legislation. But Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) led a Senate fight which resulted In the Senate Fin¬ ance (Committee voting 11 to 4 to pigeon-hole the Wll. Oppoaed Before George, senior Democrat on the finance committee, waa among those voting to shelve the bill on the ground that the Treasury should be able to atay under the debt limit until after Congress returns next January. The Georgia Democrat was im- wlUing to predict how thn "«- tionftl debt may stand during the fiscal year which be*ina next July 1. Treasury observers believed however, that the debt celling; would have to be raised for the next fiscal year even If the ad¬ ministration could squeak throua:^ the current year until March tax collections bring relief. U.S. Says Soviet Took Active Part In Korean War WASHINGTON, (IPV—The Army yesterday made available "seem¬ ingly conclusive evidence" that the Russians participated directly in the Korean war. The evidence came from voluminous reports made by Allied pris¬ oners repatriated last summer. They told of frequently seeing Russians around prison compounds—sometimes apparently as ob¬ servers and often in trucks hauling anti-aircraft gun.s New Role Established These reporta put the Russian role In a new light. It had been established long ago that the Sov¬ iet Union supplied weapons and equipment for the North Korean and CJhinese armies, and docu¬ mentary evidence was released earlier this week showing Rus¬ sians participating In the mental and physical torture of Allied prisoners. The Army always suspected Russians were operating technical weapons, such as anti-aircraft, and radar for the Communists in Korea, but It had nothing re- sembling proof until repatriated sick and wounded ivisoners last summer began telling their stor¬ ies. Actively in the War What they said "ads up to seemingly conclusive evidence" to support the suspicion that the Russians were actively in the war behind the front lines, an Army spokesman aaid Saturday. To back up the contention, the Army released voluminous inter- On the point of Russian activ-1 ity, the report furnished these j statements, in excerpt form: "During June, 1952, about 14 trucks towing anti-aircraft guns' observed passing through the[ camp toward the Yalu River.; About nine Russian soldiers were riding on the trucks. They an-i swered to 'Russki'." . "Saw five or six Russian offi-' cers go to camp headquarters | during the summer of 1952. Im-j mediately thereafter military po-1 sitions were dug around thc, camp." "In the summer of 1962, for approximately a month, a truck would pass through the camp In the morning and evening carry¬ ing about five or six Russians, some in uniform, some in civilian work clothes. Think they may have been on the anti-aircraft guns." "Russians came in truck con¬ voys to operate searchlights."

Y.(IP)— The United States charged yes¬ terday that high-ranking Rus¬ sian officers, including a Red army general, tried to force false germ warfare "confessions" from captured American fliers In Korea. U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge jr. also filed with the United Nations an "explanatory memorandum" supporting the American request for UN action on Communist atrocities against "tens of thousands" of troops. In¬ cluding 6,113 U. S. prisoners who were murdered, tortured or other. \vJse Inhumanly treated by their Red captors. To Study Atrooitles The assembly's 16-member steer¬ ing committee will meet tomorrow afternoon to decide whether the atrocities question should be reC' ommended for assembly consider' ation. Lodge asked no specific action from the assembly in the memO' ran,dum, but the document said "In the course of UN action in Korea 'to repel aggression and restore International peace and security In tho area, evidence was uncovered at various times of atrocities were carried out against members of UN forces as well as against the civilian population in Korea. 'The extent and nature of these atrocities should be brouglit to the attention of the General Assembly particularly since these atrocities were commltteed against forces of UN members engage.d, under the authority of UN resolutions. In a collective action against aggre.S' sion which has many elements of continuing concern to the General Assembly." t MliUon Missing Col. Ben. C. Limb, South Korean representative at the UN, said in a statement, "more than two mil¬ lion Koreans have disappeared in the horror campaigm cairied on in Korea by the Soviet Rusclans and Red Chinese." 'In these circumstances, Korea T MILK IN IEK NEW YORK (lP)-MetropoIitan New York's milk drought ended yesterday when 13,000 dairy work¬ ers ended their six-day strike in exchange for wage increases to be paid out of higher milk prices for 12,000,000 customers. For the first time since the strike began last Sunday, milk deliveries flowed into New York area stores. The flow of dairy products into the strike area began within min- utes after the AFL Teamaters Union and 200 distributor."; came to terms, climaxing all-night ne¬ gotiations. Get 18.80 Raise The wage boost averaged $8.60 a week per worker, and the price booat came to H-cent a quart. Huge tank trucka loaded with milk had been parked along high¬ ways on the outskirts of New York City waiting for the go- ahead signal. Hundreds of housewives Mned up outside dairies waiting to buy their first milk in nearly a week. Dairies were scheduled to work on an arobnd-the-clock basis until the pipeline from cow to consumer had been restored to normal. EYEWITNESS CHARGES RUSSIANS TOOK PART IN BEATING AMERICANS WASHINGTON (IP)—An eye-j witness said yesterday that Riis- sians "severely beat" American' prisoners In North Korea in an effort to get Information a n c< force them to make antl-Amcrican broadcasts .during the Korean War. Capt. Zach Dean, 34, now on duty in the Air Force's Psycho¬ logical Warfare Division, told in an interview how Russians were "first-hand participants" at the In famous North Korean torture center known aa "Pak's Palace."

President Resumes Golf Practice WASHINGTON (IPV—President Eisenhower, taking advantage of beautiful Indian summer weather, went out on the south lawn of the White House yes¬ terday and practiced some golf shots. After spending 2'4 hours In his office working on official papers, the President slipped on his golf togs and then went out on the lawn to hit some Iron shots. The President's 'golfing has been restricted by a sore elbow. UMWA Raps Study Idea Of T-H Law WASHINGTON, (IP) — John L. I.ewis' United Mine Workers ac¬ cused President Elsenhower yes¬ terday of operating a "govern¬ ment by commission run-around" to avoid action on the Taft-Hart¬ ley Act. The mine union said the Presi¬ dent has appointed commissions to study problems when the ad¬ ministration needed a "device to stall and avoid decisions." It said! this is the case concerning! changes in the labor-manage-; ment law. CommlsnionM Overflowing The attack was levelled in an editorial in the UMW monthly Journal which reflects the views of Lewis, the union president. The editorial said: "The national capital is already so cluttered up with commissions named by President Eisenhower that office space Is becoming a problem. Almost any day now we may expect appointment of another commission-this one to study the subject of Taft-Hartley Act revision." Noting recent proposals for new commissions on Taft-Hartley, the paper said, "such a_ course is al¬ ready being advocated by some of the pseudo labor experts, in and out of government, who like to obscure issues in a plethora of words. Plenty of DiscusHlon "Here is a law that has been on the books six years, has been the subject of prolonged inquiry and hearings by Congress, has been looked into by a labor-man¬ agement advi.sory council, and otherwise 'cussed and discussed' to the point of exhaustion. Yet We are asked to await another report by another commission which Is to start from scratch." Lewis repeatedly has called for outright repeal of what he has termed the "slave labor act." He bas refused to support any amendments, Including those ad vocated by the AFL and CIO. The editorial wound up: "This administration, like all Its pred¬ ecessors, will be judged on the record of Its performance and cannot escape the consequence of its actions or inactions by resort ing to the discredited device of government by commission or any other buck-passing proposal such as that put lorward- by Sen. Ives.' Reds AdmitT rouble Blame U.S. Spies BERLIN (IF)—The Communist East German govern- ; ment. in an official admission of serious, wide-spread trouble, announced Saturday it had uncovered a vast anti- Conlmunist underground plotting armed upri.sings under a well-organized command.

Young conceded yesterday that he was "a bit hasty" in slap¬ ping at President Elsenhower in his recent criticism of the admin istratlon's farm policy. But the North Dakota Repub lican, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, did not pull any of his punches aimed at Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. Young said he is still convinced that Benson, and hts policy will be a liability to the GOP in the 1954 congressional election campaigns. However, two House Republi¬ cans-one a top strategist in the 1964 campaigns — rallied behind Benson, in the wake of an Agri¬ culture Department survey which reported tliat farm prices fell 2! per cent during the month thati ended Oct. 15. 8impfton Backs Benson Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R- Pa.), chairman of the GOP Con¬ gressional (^mpaign Committee, said he does not believe Benson is responsible for the skid In farm prices. Young's comment referred to a statement. Issued last week, In which he stated that Midwest Re¬ publicans would benefit if Mr. Eisenhower stayed out of the congressional campaigns. The President had commented at a news conference that some pol- iticians appeared to be more wor¬ ried about the farm situation than the farmers. "My comment regarding PresU dent Eisenhower last week was a bit hasty, made largely becau.sc of his reference to me as a poli¬ tician," Young said. Bad Advice "I still think he is a great pres¬ ident and will continue to be^o if he solves the agriculture pi^b- lem," Young added. "At present, he has the worst possible advice on agriculture."' As for the farm price report one of Benson's sides commented on the fact that beef cattle prices, with a 7 per cent decline, led the September-October price decline. He said prices on cattle—for which Benson recently turned down a direct price support plan —have picked up since the Oct. 1* survey. Cir Seaman Smuggles Slave Into Britain for Wedding DURHAM, England (IP)—A young British merchaqt seaman and the dark-eyed Arab girl he spirited away from slavery in Iraq were married yeaterday in a Church of Engkind ceremony. Ship steward Totamy Flynn, 22, fell in love with Jean Ka- wahkib, 19, In a Basra coffee shop where she worked as a slave Smuggled to Britain He helped her slip away, dressed her in man's clothing and smuggled her aboard his ship. He hid her in a locker and man¬ aged to get her ashore. But later they were arrested, charged with violating immigration laws. Tommy was sentenced to three months In Jail and Jean to two montha. But the law relented and they are at liberty pending appeal. j Jean is now a British subject due to her marriage, and ¦«Hhether that fact wlH have an effect on the appeals remains to btl Valley Scene Sign at Naytticoke gas sta¬ tion offering a 35 eent pie tuith each pHchaste of 10 gallons of gasoline, priced at $1.S9— choice of apple or i^umpkin.

CATTLEMEN HIT HARD AS PRICES TAKE SKID WASHINGTON ¦IP»—The "eoo^ nomic grinding machine"—as Pre¬ sident Biaenhiower calls it—has further reduced the take-home pay of the nation's farmera, espe cially drought-hit cattlemen. An Agriculture Department re port showed all farm prices fell two per cent during the month ended Oct. 15, wih beef cattle prices leading the way with a seven per cent skid. A spokesman for Secretary Ezra T. Benson was quick to explain that the report covered prices only up to mid-October. "Cattle prices have picked up since then," he insisted, "partlculavly those on lower grades, which have beea the worat oft." Industry Not Following Chrysler's Price-Cut DETROIT (IP)—A general de cline In car prices within the next few months is unlikely despite re^ cent action by one "Big Three' auto maker. Manufacturers are inclined to let their dealers do whatever cutting Is to be done through over-allowance on trade-ins, extra accessories and other "special deals" to sell cars. The Chrysler division of Chrys¬ ler 0)rp. cut prices on most of its 1964 models on Wednesday. Price tags dropped as much as $169 on the New Yorker line and $27 to $60 on the cheaper Windsor line. Second Cut in Year It was the second tinje this year the corpo||tion cut prices. Last March and average $100 across the board was cut from Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge and Plymouth cars. What prices wiH do after the first of the year—when all new models are out—depends on the market. Most of the auto makers are optimistic. They don't see 1954 as another banner year, but It still should be good for approximately 5,000,000 cars. Around 6,0(X),000 will be sold this year to make it second best only to 19S0. Right now the industry Is only 900,000 units off that rec¬ ord-breaking pace. Ford Motor Cto„ which Is enjoy* ing a banner year now and is confident it will carry over Inta 1954, has no plans to cut prices at the factory level. Ford and C>eneral Motors win Introduce their cars after the flrst of the year. If any action Is te ba taken It will await new car an- nouncement time. But General Motors, like Ford Is experiencing no great difficulty In moving can.
