Main Phone 2-1507 Phone 2-1333 BRYAN, TEXAS Lake Success, Oct. 4 — UP) — United Nations drove towards a- showdown vote on opposing east and west Korean peace plans today. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky takes the floor in the assembly’s 60-nation political com mittee to make a final plea for ac ceptance of his plan. British Min ister of State Kenneth Younger is scheduled to follow him with an appeal for support of the Amer ican-backed proposal submitted by Britain and seven other nations. Most delegates expect a vote later in the day despite last-minute attempts by Yugoslavia and India yesterday to shunt both plans to a sub-committee for a try at com promise. An overwhelming victory was forecast for the west’s peace blue print which Nationalist China’s Dr. T. F. Tsiang hailed as promising “independence, unity and rehabili tation” to war-torn Korea. Russia probably will not be able to line up any votes for her plan— which calls for an immediate cease fire, withdrawal of foreign troops, and later elections which the Soviet Union and Communist China would help supervise—except from her satellites. Delegates, in private conversa tions, have labeled the Soviet pro posal an attempt to snatch political victory from military defeat and have indicated they want no part of any such scheme. “Pilot Project” All countries outside the Rus sian bloc—except Yugoslavia and India which have indicated they will abstain—will most likely vote for the eight-nation plan. It aims at making Korea a “pilot project” to show what the U. N. can do for underdeveloped, devastated coun tries. In envisages a short military oc cupation of all Korea to restore order and to guarantee the end of aggression. This would be follow ed by free elections in all Korea, under U. N. supervision, to elect a government for a free, indepen dent and united country. Cotton Seed Deficit Seen by Specialist College Station, Tex.—UP)—An A&M Extension college specialist has warned of a serious shortage of cotton seed for 1951 plantings. Fred C. Elliott said there are two factors, (1) unfavorable weather in the nation's heavy cot ton producing areas, and (2) in creased 1951 plantings which will boost the demand for seed. He urged farmers and ginners to cooperate in saving and storing seed for planting purposes. When You Think of UNIFORMS Think of CONWAY & CO. in Bryan Reg. Shirts Reg.

N. economic aid to the battered land and would establish a strong U. N. commission to see that the propo sals are carried out. Sponsors Its sponsors are Britain, Austra lia, the Philippines, Pakistan, Cu ba, Brazil, the Netherlands and Norway. 'today marked the fourth day of debate on tbe rival plans. The west’s resolution was sub mitted aSturday and immediately drew Soviet fire as a plot to per petuate American control of Ko rea. Vishinsky submitted his resolu tion Monday. Although it bore a superficial resemblance to the Brit ish-backed plan, observers said the Russian demand for immediate withdrawal of United Nations forces would leave Korea at the mercy of the north again and prob ably prevent a serious fulfillment of the other provisions. Non-Communist deelgates point ed out that its provisions for a cease-fire repeated security coun cil demands which the North Ko reans had refused to heed in June. They said the cease-fire could be accomplished just as easily by the North Koreans complying with MacArthur’s surrender appeal. 18 Year Olds Must Register for Draft All students are reminded to register with their draft board within five days after reaching their 18th birthday, Taylor Wil kins, Veterans Advisor, said to day.

RADIOS & REPAIRING Call For and Delivery STUDENT CO-OP Phone 4-4114 High Grade Fuels May Go to Military Washington, Oct. 4—(A 3 ) — The Interior Department soon may slap octane ceilings on automobile gas oline and even on commercial avia tion fuel. The prospect of lower grade mo tor fuel for civilians came to light yesterday as the department set up a minerals and energy administra tion with power to parcel out sup plies of coal, gas, oil, electric pow er and raw metals for defense. Any new gasoline quality rules would be written by the MEA. The department’s industry advisory committee, the national petroleum council, meets tomorrow. In case of an octane reduction, the motorist might encounter some reduction in engine performance, and he might hear enough “knock ing” in a high compression engine to require new spark setting and carburetor adjustment. The interior department says there i is plenty of auto gasoline, ahd 1 'rationing of the fuel is defi- riitely not in prospect.
