THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The hea v y cruiser Helena crossed the International Dateline late last night. That gave Eisen hower and his staff another Tues day-for talks on various facets of the complicated problems of Ko rea and the rest of Asia. The warship is du e at Pearl Harbor tomorrow at 9 a.m. (2 p.m., EST). Indicated Direction There were• no announcements or progress reports to show the trend of the talks. Eisenhower himself, however, had indicated the direction those conferences would take. Before leaving Korea last week, the President-elect said he in tended to meet with different members of his staff "so that when the new administration in the United States takes over Jan. 20 it. will be better able to pursue its policy, of supporting freedom in the world." In Washington, one of Eisen hower's close friends, who de clined to be quoted by name, pre•- dicted the new White House chief "would not ignore" a plan of Gen. Douclas MacArthur for solving the Korean War deadlock. MacArthur's Views MacArthur said in a speech be fore the National Association of Manufacturers Friday that he has a plan for "a clear and definite solution" of the Korean War with out involving undue casualties. He did not disclose the plan. but indicated he would be glad to 'discuss it with Eisenhower. S en a tors McCarthy (R-Wis.), Butler (R-Md.), and Stennis (D- Miss.) in separate interviews all said they thought• Eisenhower should and probably would seek McArthur's views. Eisenhower met first today with his full group of advisers, then I the party broke into small units to tackle individual problems. With Eisenhower were four of his incoming Cabinet members— men assigned. to chart foreign policy, handle finance, control power and other resources, and direct the government's legaL af fairs including, the war against internal corruption and subver sion. A fifth future Cabinet member, Charles E. Wilson of defense, had flown ahead to Pearl Harbor for separate talks on military service. Eisenhower and his eight-man the third straight day today $70,000 Is Price Paid In Fur Deal NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (2?) A broker testified today he paid $70,000 to union leaders in order to free a multi-million dollar batch of Russian furs during a "patriotic" boycott by AFL long shoremen. The State Crime Commission thus got an in iiguing behind-the scenes peek at the 1950 boycott of Soviet manufactured goods by the AFL International Longshore men's Association (ILA). Called 'Patriotic Gesture' While longshoremen were by passing Russian cargoes against the wishes of President Truman, fur broker Gregory Butman testi fied he paid off union leaders to free $3,000.000 worth of Soviet furs from the docks. The late summer , boycott two years ago was represented -as a patriotic gesture by longshore men "sick and tired of working for Russia and, helping commu nism finance its war machine with American dollars." Rebuked by Truman It had the backing of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars. Roman Catholic Bishop John F. O'Hara in Buffalo lauded the dock workers. But President Truman rebuked Lhem and said it wasn't up to longshoremen to set this nation's foreign policy. Secretary of Labor Tobin also criticized them and the boycott finally was called off. Butman told the State Crime Commission inquiry into water front rackets that he paid $25,000 to have $659,000 in Russian furs unloaded from the Finnish freighter, Tornator, at Port Eliza beth, N.J. •. - ,WCWW._ •• 1 4 6 , 'N< • .x 4(.. • "" Fo y _ - • .

As he sailed for home in luxury aboard the French liner Liberte, a reporter asked Russia's chief UN spokesman: "Are you coming back for "I don't know," Vishinsky replied with a smile. "That depends on a number of things." No Formal Good-bye Vishinsky left behind Andrei Gromkyo as head of the Soviet delegation to the UN. Groinyko, Russian ambassador to London, saw him off. There was no formal good-bye from the UN. because Vishinsky ignored the custom of giving no tice of his departure. Normally, an agent• of Secertary General Trygve Lie is on hand, but Vishin sky and Lie are not on speaking terms these days. As he boarded the liner earlier, Vishinsky was asked to say a few words for the newsreel and tele vision cameras. "You asked me to say a few words before my departure," he responded. "I do that with pleas ure. The holidays are coming and I will say a few words. 'Duty Is Fighting For Peace' "Actually, the fir s t thing I would like to say is about the United Nations. Although the work of the Assembly 'isn't fin ished yet, it shows that the Gen eral Assembly does not fulfill its duty for peace. "Its duty is fighting for peace. The very fact the Assembly adopt ed a resolution which is not pro moting peace shows that its work as an instrument of peace is not satisfactory." Vishinsky apparently had in mind the UN adoption of an Indian resolution to end the Ko rean War. It provided protection for Communist prisoners who do not wish to return to their home land. Russia has demanded the re turn of all prisoners, willing or otherwise. His remarks were translated by Alexandre Soldatov, an aide G FTS . .

That group's code calls for final budget approval by the local gov:. erning body before the end of the year. A poll of third class cities throughout the state by The Asso ciated Press today showed prac tically all were in agreement on one point—it will cost more mon ey to run things in 1953 than this year.
