LOS ANGELES. Dec. 3 (U.R) - Blinding, 'stinging smog, which has hidden the famous Southern California sun for 14 straight days, caused enraged en-raged Southern Californians Saturday to demand immediate immed-iate closing of all oil refineries refin-eries and recall of LoJ Angeles' An-geles' whole board of sup-; sup-; ervisors.

United Nations rebuffed the Soviet bloc by formally congratulating the two' sides on their settlement The vote hailing the Hague pact which decreed creation of a sovereign Indonesian Republic with dominion-type ties to the Dutch crown, was 43 to 5. with 4 nations including Yugoslavia- abstaining. Soviet bloc delegates, led by Russia's Semyon K. Tsarapkin, ripped, into the Hague agreement, under which sovereignty is due to be transferred to the Republic later this month " provided respective re-spective parliaments ratify ' the settlement. First reaction here to the So viet broadside was that nothing could have been better designed to push the Hague terms, through the Dutch parliament. Opinion up to now has been that its approval ap-proval was far from certain.

' ' ' p Communist Agents Mobilized To Sabotage U. S.- In War WASHINGTON. Dec. 3 (U.R) The library of congress said Saturday Sat-urday that communist agents have been mobilized to sabotage America if it goes to war with Russia. The warning was published in a public affairs bulletin issued by the librae's legislative reference service. It said that the failure of nazi sabotage to materialize in the last war should not make Americans complacent about the threat of communist sabotage in a future conflict. The bulletin said the number of nazis 'was small, "their techniques tech-niques crude, and their identification identifi-cation easy compared with the disciplined- army- of communists, of warm air, which keeps the gas, fumes and dust from rising out of the Los Angeles An-geles basin, and on an abnormal ab-normal lack of winds to blow it around. -There's no immediate immed-iate relief in sight. Indignant residents of Pasadena, Pas-adena, where wealthy homeowners home-owners say aeal-estate values have been ruined by smog, are threatening to seek recall re-call of every member of the county board of supervisors. They say they already are looking for new candidates. Supervisor John Anson Ford said he will demand at the next meeting that supervisors sup-ervisors close oil refineries immediately and keep them closed as long as the smog continues. "The situation has assumed Intolerable proportions," he said, and our remedies have got to be commensurate with , the emergency." 5th Annual Program Herald Sub-For-Santa, VFW 'Corporals' Launch Campaign By THERON H. LUKE The Daily Herald and the Provo fire department Saturday announced the start o. their fifth annual Sub-For-Santa program with the veterans of Foreign Wars "Kris Kringle Corporal" project as a branch of the movement move-ment in Provo this year. This program was started In 1945 by the Herald and the fire department as a community serv ice. It's aim was to make sure that every child in Provo had something on Christmas morning from Santa Claus, in cases where the child s parents and Santa needed some help to make this possible, it is aimed to aid Santa only in the cases of needy f ami' lies, where St. Nick's resources alone are not sufficient to leave something for the younger-fry f the family. This year, Provo's Ute post 2162, veterans of Foreign Wars, has expressed a desire to loin with the Herald in the general movement, carrying out in this city the statewide VFW Kris Kringle Corporal movement which also has the purpose of helping needy families at Christ mas time. Agreement Reached t The Herald and the VFW have accordingly reached an agreement agree-ment whereby they will divide the list of needy families pe- tween them and carry out ' the same general aims of the Sub-For Sub-For Santa movement. Help will still be needed from Provo's lodges, civic, clubs and other organizations, which has been given so generously in the past . and has made the Provo Sub-For-Santa drive a success each year., This help will be solicited by the Daily Herald and the fire department in the same manner as in past years... The VFW will attack the prob lem from a different angle than the usual Herald Sub-For-Santa methods, to care for the post's share of the needy families. The post solicits , old toys,, food and clothing , this year, which its members will pick up at homes when notified. The toys will then be reconditioned by members of the post. From .these supplies, the post .will aid needy families and give Santa an assist concerning supplying a toy or toys to the children of the family. Same As. In Past The Daily Herald and fire de partment Sub-for-Santa' project will be carried out in the same manner as in former years. Names, carefully checked as to their need, will be secured from the county welfare department and Red Cross with every attempt at-tempt made to avoid duplication. Organizations and individuals will then be asked to take the name of a family, or families. and make direct arrangements with the parents to see that Santa gets the assistance needed. Aim of the program is to see that many of them American citizens, who . may be expected to work against thr nation in the event of war with a communist power.", . The report, a study of defense plans, was prepared by S. Arthur Devan, analyst of the reference service. Devan said "there is no such thing fcs complete military security; secur-ity; He also echoed the warnings of defense officials that the atomic atom-ic bomb is not the "absolute weapon." The guided missile his report said, is the weapon most likely to cause revolutionary' change' : in warfare. And it may cost even more than the atomic bomb to develop."- Ford admitted that the refineries re-fineries "are not the only ones involved in this pollution," pollu-tion," and spokesman for them retorted that they were "tired of being the whipping boy." Reese H. Taylor, president of the Western Oil and Gas Ass'n., said refineries have spent $10,000,000 getting rid of smoke and fumes. Even if all their waste product, sulphur sul-phur dioxide, were removed, he said, there still would be smog. A retired Iowa Postmaster said he was moving back to the midwest because of the smog. Druggist Samuel Brill moved 25 miles out of town. He said he couldn't breathe. A doctor from Chicago who used to advise all his patients with respiratory troubles to come here came here himself. Now he's advising them to move back. Santa is able to provide a toy for each child In the family 12 years old or under, in families where St Nick is unable to do this without some help. The Herald-fire department phase of the Sub-for-Santa pro gram does not handle cash, toys, food or clothing. It serves as a clearing house and clerical agency for the program, setting names of the needy families and assigning them to those who are participating in giving the necessary neces-sary aid for the Sub-for-Santa program. - Details Later .

Dec. 3 (U.R) The United States has told the Chinese Nationalist government to stop "immediately" its "reckless" "reck-less" attacks on American merchant mer-chant vessels. The state department disclosed Saturday that a blunt note carrying carry-ing that demand was delivered at Hong Kong Friday to George Yen, nationalist China's minister of foreign affairs. Yeh received the note with the comment that he would await reports from Chinese Naval authorities before replying. The note reminded? the na tionallst government that Americans Amer-icans had a close brush with death in the most recent shelling of a U. S. merchantman which ran the blockade waters off Shanghai. The Chinese government govern-ment was informed that-it would be held "fully responsible." . .The note was a protest against an attack Monday by two Chinese naval craft upon the steamship Sir John . Franklin of the, Is-brandtsen Is-brandtsen Steamship Co- New York. The note also detailed the ship captain's account of the shelling. The skipper said Americans had a close call with death when a three-inch shell aimed polntblank at his bridge ricocheted and bounced into an unoccupied cabin before exploding.

Hopkins helped Russia get "trunkloads" of atomic secrets and materials set off a congressional in vestigation Saturday.' Chairman Brien McMahon, D., Conn., of the joint senate-house senate-house committee on atomic en ergy took the atter seriously enough to order an immediate inquiry. He directed committee investigators to question all the military men who had a hand in the wartime atomic bomb project, presumably including Lt. Gen. Leslie R. Groves, retired head of that operation, v . Charges Termed Incredible Hopkins' friends disr issed the charges as "incredible jriaywrignt Kooert snerwood. who worked closely wiL Hopkins during the war years and had access ac-cess to his papers after Hokpins death, said the charges were "utterly "ut-terly farftastic." Maj. Gen. J. H. Burns, Hop kins' military adviser when the latter was lend-lease adminlstra tor, was equally skeptical. He said it would take a lot of evidence evi-dence to convince him that Hop kins' evcr"did anything" wrong or against the best interests of his country. Stephen T. Early, now under secretary of defense, who knew Hopkins well as press secretary to President Roosevelt, said Jor dan's whole story as it concerns Hopkins is "utterly unbeliev able." "Insofar as Mr. Hopkins is con cerned. and I knew him most in timately during the war days, he remains a patriot one whose services to his country were as responsible for his fina' sacrifice as were the services of soldiers in the field." Early declared. "The whole story to me, as it relates to Mr. Hopkins is utterly unbelievable." On the other hand, former Rep John McDowell. R.. Pa., who started a somewhat similar in auirv in 1948 when he was a member of the house un-Ameri can activities committee, said his heart "beat with joy" when he heard the charges aired on a radio broadcast last night. Prominent Figure Involved' McDowell told newsmen in Pittsburgh that "the most import ant figure" involved in the atomic affair has not yet been named. He refused to identify this figure, but he intimated the person in question was very prominent in national affairs. Groves, who is said to be eyeing eye-ing McMahon's senate job, declined de-clined to comment. So did the FBI, whose agents vere said in the broadcast to have conducted (Continued on Page Two) The protest reiterated Secretary Secre-tary of State Dean Acheson's previous declaration that this na tion does not recognize as lesal the nationalist naval blockade of some Chinese .communist-held ports. As a consequence, this gov ernment regards as "unjustifi able" the action of the Chinese ships in "indiscriminately and wantonly firing on an American flagship and thus endangering American lives. Chinese authorities were told bluntly to issue such orders as are necessary to prevent any future incident of tbis kind.

McCabe Sides With Treasury In Snyder-Eccles Controversy WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 U.R) Chairman Thomas B. McCabe of the federal reserve board came to the defense of treasury Secretary John W. Snyder Saturday in the latter s fiscal fight with reserve Governor Marriner S. Eccles. -' McCabe, who replaced Eccles last "year as chairman of the sys tern, was caught in the middle of the row when he went before a joint congressional economic subcommittee sub-committee to testify on the state of the nation's economic health Without mentioning either of the quarreling fiscal experts by name, McCabe made it plain that he backs Snyder. Contradicts Eccles He contradicted flatly Eccles' charge that Snyder seldom both ers to consult with the reserve system on treasury policy and that when he does he usually ignores ig-nores the system's advice. On the contrary, McCabe told the subcommittee, "a splendid degree of cooperation exists between be-tween the treasury and the federal fed-eral reserve." "There is no danger that treasury treas-ury officials and federal reserve officials will lack personal con tact." he added. "The nature of their duties insures . . . that they face these problems together." Eccles, who reportedly lost the reserve board chairmanship because be-cause of his opposition to Snyder's Sny-der's policies, kicked the row back into the open yesterday by sending a statement to the subcommittee sub-committee while snyder was testifying. tes-tifying. Ih his statement, Eccles challenged chal-lenged the treasury's "cheap money" policies and asserted that thev are nullifying the reserve vtem's efforts to keep the coun try on an even economic keel. He commented bitterly that Snyder's tactics, have made the reserve system "an engine of inflation." Endorses Snyder MrCabe ienored that But he endorsed emphatically Snyder's assertion that the biggest fiscal problem right now is to balance the federal budget and get the government out of the red. "There is no antidote to infla tion equal to the development of a budget surplus and tne use oi that surplus o retire debt," he said. He added that government fis cal policies still "demand the at tention of thougnuui men everywhere" every-where" and that "unless we find a solution to these problems . . . our way of life will be in jeopardy." "Nothing more vitally effects the welfare and destiny of this nation than the integrity of its Their letter, signed by all Czech and Slovak bishops including includ-ing Archbishop Josef Beran of Prague, did not reveal what Zapotocky Za-potocky told them.
