2 (/P)—The UN, Steering Commit,-
tee recommended by a .vote of 12
to. 2 today that the General As
sembly itself take up, for full ex
amination the American charges
of Communist atrocities in Korea.
The Soviet bloc 4-epeatedly
blasted at the charges as half
mad-iiightmares, an invention, a
fabrication and gross falsification.
But the American delegate, Henry
Cabot Lodge Jr., urged a full air
ing as a way to .pay at least part
of the great debt owed the tragic
memory of the victims of these
atrocities.
Lodge 7 told the committee, and
especially Russia’s Andrei .y. Vi
shinsky and Poland’s Juliusz
Katz-Suchy, that UN considera
tion of the charges would not
complicate the efforts to organize
the Korean peace conference.

Talbott and Gen. Nathan Twin
ing, Air Force chief of staff, are
in Spain studying sites for five
bases in this country authorized
by military and economic agree
ments recently concluded by
Washington and Madrid.'
Talbott said he expects con
tracts for the bases to be let with
in four to six months and that
some of the bases may be opera
tional within a year. He added
that a group of four big American
contractors who do not use five
percenter intermediaries in win
ning contracts will handle the
whole project, subletting to the
Spanish aeronautical industry to
provide maintenance for U.S.
planes stationed in Spain: The
project is expected- to be one of
improving and enlarging exist
ing bases rather than of building
new ones.
Twining defined the main func
tion of the Spanish bases as a
“rounding out of the -trategic
striking force.” He added:
“We need more bases, and this
is a good place to have them. We
need both strategic bases, and tac
tical bases for fighters to’ protect
them and Spain. It would be a
great step toward stopping our
Communist enemies:”

Seven Dead
In Boston
Ship Fire
BOSTON. Nov. 2 (A>) —A vio
lent explosion ripped through the
Norwegian freighter Black Falcon
today, touching off a fire which
trapped a gang of longshoremen
in a hold.
At least seven were killed. Thir
teen others were taken to hospi
tals.
The death list included the
names of a father and son, An
thony Bensaia and Alvan L. Ben
saia, both of Boston.
Early reports indicated that the
death toll might rise. Firemen
dragged the waterlogged bottom
of the ship, awash with loose car
go in six feet of water, searching
for more bodies.
Survivors said that the explo
sion came when a drum of sodium
peroxyde tipped over, spilling
some of its contests into some
bauxite—aluminum ore stowed
in the bottom of the ship.
Flames shot 200 feet in the air
from the blazing midship hatch.
Practically all the dead and in
ured were from Boston.
Peace Talks
PANMUNJOM, Tuesday, Nov. 3
(/P) —This may be the week of de
cision in the angry, wordy debate
at Fanmunjom , over arrange
ments for the Korean peace con
ference.
U.S. Envoy Arthur Dean and
delegates from Red China and
North 7 Korea have' been dead
locked through seven sessions of
the preliminary talks over Com
munist insistence that Asian neu
trals be invited.
However, the delegates sched
uled an eighth session for 11 a.m.
today. (9 p.m. Monday, EST).
It appeared that Dean, who is
representing the UN countries in
volved in the Korean War, was
willing to wait' another week or
so for the Reds to make some new
move.

Ag Reorganization
Ordered by Benson
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 ( JP ) —Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson, overriding some congressional protests, ordered his contro
tro'versial plan to reshuffle the Agriculture Department into im
mediate effect today, and offered to quit if President Eisenhower
wants his resignation.
Benson told newsmen, however,
that he had the President’s sup
port in issuing the order.
The secretary’s action stirred
immediate and widespread reper
cussions—some favorable, some
Benson himself de
fended it as a move to serve
farmers better.
Rep. George Bender (R-Ohio),
who had asked Benson to defer
action until congressional hearings
could be held this month, prompt
ly ■announced that a House sub
committee on government opera
tions will question Benson a week
from tomorrow about his contro
versial plan.
•Bender is the subcommittee
chairman.
A major feature- of Benson’s or
der—and the, target of most of
the criticism—is that it abolishes
all seven regional offices of The
government’s Soil Conservation
Seryice and turns "their functions
over to the 48 states. •

felt success might be achieved in
two-or three weeks, or not at all.
He implied then that he might
walk out if the preliminary dis
cussions became a fountain of
Red propaganda.
