The factory is only 3 mites south of the Manchurian border. Far East headquarters in Tok- yo said the sprawling works was one of the 78 military targets the U. N. Command has given ad- vance notice it will attack. It was the first time the plant, at Nakwon, half way xbetween Sinuiju and Namsidong, had been hit Results of the raid were not announced. The planes dropped ‘140 tons of bombs. But the B-29 pilots, skirting the edge of an erratic typhoon sweep- ing across the southern end of the Korean Peninsula, reported they met intense anti-aircraft fire. One. plane was attacked by a Red night fighter but the. Air Force said all 14 planes returned safely. The Air Force said the muni- tions layout contained 17 primary buildings of steel and reinforced concrete and dozens of bunkers ; | and ammunition stores catacomb- ed in nearby hills. The plant reportedly produced daily 1,000 antitank grenades and 3,000 to 5,000 hand grenades.

Diplomats View Chinese Mission To Moscow As “Begging Expedition” Solely kk & OIL CARTELS SAID , TO BE SIPHONING U. S. FOREIGN AID FUNDS By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (#— President | Truman has ordered the lid off a long - secret report on international oil deals amid new charges that a rich and powerful oil cartel is siphoning U. S. foreign aid funds. The report, which may have dip- lomatic repercussions abroad, Promptly became fuel for a federal | grand jury which will open next month an investigation of alleged price fixing and monopoly prac- tices in the oil industry. Decision to lift the official secret Commission (FTC) staff experts, was announced Monday by Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama, the Democratic nominee for vice pres- ident. Sparkman spoke as head of the Senate small business subcommit- tee, and as the man whose public demand for the information pre- sumably resulted in the presiden- tial order. The Alabaman said his subcommittee would make an in- vestigation of its own before pass- ing judgment on the FTC findings. Sparkman said the 10 - chapter report is being printed now by his sub - committee and “‘probably will be available for distribution by the end of this week.” ¥ The State Department has ac- knowledged that it had the docu- ment classified as secret for se- curity reasons and lest its contents further inflame relations between British oil interests and the gov- ernment of Iran, “It’s my opinion that its release at this time is not likely to jeop- ardize our national security or un- dermine the aims of our: foreign Policy,” Sparkman said in a p pared statement. ‘‘The security pect of the matter has been cleared with responsibile agencies of gov- ernment.” In swift follow-up developments: 1. The Justice Department moved to subpoena the report for its re- cently - ordered federal grand jury investigation of monopoly charges against seven U. S. and foreign oil companies, 2. Sen. Hennings :(D.-Mo.) fired new accusations of intrigue at the oil firms,. charging they form a cartel and a “giant. conspiracy” profiteering against European na- vo which receive U. S. dollar aid. The seven U. S. and foreign oil companies are Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of Cali- fornia, the Texas Company, So- * cony - Vacuum, Gulf Oil — all U. S. owned — and two foreign firms dominated by the British, Royal re Shell “and Anglo - Iranian Co. \ Hennings renewed accusations that the oil companies charge those countries. a higher price for oil than they charge buyers in: this country and Canada, contending that this has added huge sums to the costs of U. S. foreign aid. “It is unmistakably clear,” he said, “that even against our own government the oil cartel is power- ful enough to dictate its own prices and terms which are admittedly discriminatory and onerous in their effect on: the American taxpayer.” Prisoner Has Law Knowledge TAMPA (#® — Emory Newtor Brown, 30, spent four years teach- ing himself law in federal prison but still couldn’t get Federal Judge W.

SCALI WASHINGTON (#— Some Amer ican diplomats today viewed the top-level Chinese - Russian con ference in Moscow as mainly a “begging expedition” by the Chi- nese Reds. | These officials speculated that the Chinese are dissatisfied with panies promises and would plead r: ; 1. More financial aid to supple- ment the 300 million dollar loan Moscow promised in February of 1950. 2. Bigger and faster shipments of Russian - made military supplies for hard-pressed Chinese Commu- nist troops in Korea. 3. Removal of Russian troops | from Port Arthur and return to Red China of the Changchun Rail- way as promised by the end of this year. The State Department has cau- tiously labelled the Chinese-Soviet conference as “routine” and said such meetings by partner nations are to be expected. But experts on Russian and Chi- nese affairs here feel the purpose of the huddle is aimed at finding ways to continue the Korean War. rather than at any policy change which might mean peace in the Fat East. The make - up of the 15 - man Chinese Communist delegation, | headed by Premier - Foreign Min- ister Chou En-Lai, appeared to them to point to war objectives, with paralleling attention to econ- omic and financial problems. Most officials seemed to agree Chou and Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vishinsky would review the friendship and alliance treaty they signed Feb. 14, 1950, along with. separate ere dealing with Port Arthur, Changchun Railway and Dairen. All these properties are now at least partly controlled and oper- ated by the Russians. Under the NEWS BALTIMORE #— Edward S.
