Around the World—
Red China Tries Again For U.N. Membership
Peiping radio announced today that Red China again has applied formally for membership in the United Nations.
Pravda, official newspaper of the Communist party in Moscow, backed up Red China's claim to a seat in the United Nations and Security council.
Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky is expected to make his bid for acceptance of Red China tomorrow, when the Ninth General assembly convenes in New York.
Both Russia and Red China said the United States alone is keeping the Peiping regime from its "rightful" seat in the United Nations.
U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was ready to block Vishinsky. Mr. Dulles will have Britain's support and the backing of enough nations to prevent the Red Chinese from replacing the Nationalist Chinese government.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge last night listed 39 acts of Red Chinese "piracy" involving 28 incidents against Britain and five against the United States.
While the Chinese diplomats were making another probably futile play for UN membership, their artillerymen were pounding the Nationalist-held islands of Quemoy and Little Quemoy less than 10 miles off the China mainland.
The Nationalists announced that their warplanes had carried out the heaviest bombing of the mainland in the Amoy area opposite the Quemys since the fighting started 17 days ago.
Other international developments: Heidelberg, Germany—U. S. authorities identified the two American soldiers kidnapped by Czechoslovak border guards as Lt. Richard H. Dries and Pts. George O. Miskep, spokesman the M.pik said Lt. Dries civilian clothes because he was dealing with civilians. He denied either man was on a cloak-and-dagger mission.
Saigon — Reliable sources said missing health minister Pham Hum Chong has fled Saigon in the latest development in South Viet Nam's internal crisis. Over the weekend Premier Ngo Dinh Diem and Chief of Staff Gen. Nguyen Van Hinh struggled for control of the Viet Namenes Army.
Castel Gandolfo—Fope Pius XII's doctors have told the Pontiff to reduce his activities. Authoritative Vatican sources said there is no special cause for alarm, that his doctors only want him to conserve his strength. The Pope has suffered a recurrence of the hiccups that preceded his illness last winter.

Jury to Probe FHA Scandals
Washington - (U.P) - Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., said today he has ordered a special grand jury investigation here into bribery charges and other possible criminal conduct in the Federal Housing program.
Mr. Brownell instructed U.S. Attorney Leo A. Rover specifically to present evidence about the activities of Clyde L. Powell, former assistant commissioner of the Federal Housing administration.
The Justice department noted that Mr. Powell rose to the post of FHA assistant commissioner "despite knowledge of the former administration of an arrest record including conviction of jewel theft."
It added that Mr. Powell had charge of the housing program from 1946 and that this program resulted in "windfall" profits to some builders exceeding $51 million alone in the 285 cases reviewed by the special investigations office set up by the present officials of FHA.
The Justice department said no date has been set for the opening of the special grand jury inquiry. However, it said that impaneling of the jury is expected shortly. It was understood that a subpena was served on Mr. Powell Friday night which called for him to appear before the grand jurors on Oct. 6.
The Justice department also disclosed that Assistant Attorney General Warren Olney III, head of the department's criminal office this week, attacked in all parts of the country to present to grand juries all material evidence about criminal conduct about the housing scandals.
The Senate Banking committee is holding hearings now in Indianapolis. The committee is looking into alleged windfall profits of more than $40 million worth of housing projects in six states. The committee is going into many cities in its inquiry.
Williara F. McKenna, who conducted the government's investigation of FHA scandals, said in a formal report last month that corruption in the FHA was "largely the story of the reign of Clyde L. Powell."
Advance registrations for the sixth annual Savings and Loan institute for junior executives this week at the University of Kansas total 45, according to University extension. Fifty persons are expected.
The three-day workshop begins Thursday morning with registration, and the program includes seven speakers, two workshops, and an election of officers for the Kansas Savings and Loan League. Harry Patton, Topeka, one of the speakers, currently is president.
Co-sponsored by the Savings and Loan league of Kansas and University extension, the Institute is designed expressly for junior executives and key personnel of savings and loan associations of the state. Its purpose is to keep them up-to-date on changing business and legal conditions and to air problems of management and policy.
Saving, Loan Meeting Set
Discussions of cost accounting, savings and loan accounting, and public relations will be featured.
Michigan State became the first land-grant institution to admit women when it opened its doors to the fair sex in 1870.
Between 20 and 25 delegates from the 10 Kansas units of the League of Women Voters will be here tomorrow and Wednesday for a workshop on three constitutional amendments to be voted on in the November elections.
Cooperating agencies are the League, the Governmental Research Center at the University of Kansas, where the workshop will be held, and University Extension.
Mrs. Glenn Farris, Kansas City, Kans., is co-chairman for the workshop with Dr. Ethan P. Allen, director of the Governmental Research Center.
The delegates will discuss three proposed amendments to the Kansas constitution; one which would grant home rule to designated "urban areas" within the state, one to require yearly instead of biennial sessions of the state legislature, and an amendment which would abolish the two-term limitation on the offices of county sheriff and county treasurer.
After each discussion, a set of conclusions will be drafted which will constitute recommendations to the League members within the state.
Members of the Governmental Research Center staff will act in advisory capacities and will participate in the general discussions.
Mrs. Paul B. Smith, Wichita, it he League's state president.

Democrats Expect Gains After Campaign Kickoff
Indianapolis—(U.P.)—Confident Democrats said today Republican "mismanagement" of government will fill Congress with Democrats this fall and head Adlai E. Stevenson toward the White House in 1956.

Predictions of victory in the Nov
Taipei, Formosa — (U,P) — Chinese Nationalist bombers battered Communist positions around Amoy today in their heaviest air attacks since the battle of Quemoy started Sept. 3.
Heavy bombers started the concentrated bombardment at 2 a.m. and kept up the steady pounding until dawn, when fighter-bombers took up the attack.
Communist junk fleets, artillery positions and troop areas at Amoy and other points around threatened Quemoy were hit.
Chiang Planes Pound Reds
Nationalist naval vessels moved closer to the shore before dawn to push Communist targets at Weitou, on the mainland opposite Quemoy. Gen. Chang Yi-ting, Nationalist military spokesman, said the Communists also had increased their fire against Nationalist positions on Quemoy and the island of Little Quemoy.
2 elections were a dime a dozen. Most speakers said the economic issue would be the GOP's biggest stumbling block.
Looking ahead, party leaders gave Mr. Stevenson the pole position for a second try as presidential nominee in 1956 and further speculated that Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee might well be his running mate with Paul Butler of Indiana handling the party reins as National chairman.
Mr. Stevenson made a strong attack on President Eisenhower's foreign policy in a televised speech at Saturday's $100-a-plate banquet.
Mr. Stevenson hedged regarding his personal ambitions? He commented he was glad he isn't a candidate, then explained he was "expressing my sympathy for all candidates . . . they go through acute suffering most of us know nothing about."
Mr. Clement, at 34 the nation's youngest governor, stirred up a lot of comment with his rapid-fire attack on the administration's "sordid record of broken promises." Some billed him as the Democrat's answer to Vice-President Richard Nixon.
"At Geneva and elsewhere, they (the Republicans) have succeeded in convincing many of our friends that we are rigid and inflexible, either unwilling or unable to negotiate or compromise, and that only the United States stands in the way of a peaceful world," he said.
