> Veto Expected Os Labor Control Bill Doubt Enough Votes To Sustain Veto Washington, June 17 —(UP)— Administration forces tn the senate remained gloomy today about their chances of sustaining a veto of the Taft-Hartley labor bill If President Truman rejects It. Mr. Truman ie expected to an nounce his decision Thursday or Fi Iday. He must act before midnight Friday or the bill becomes a law without his signature. Although a veto has been freely predicted, administration spokesmen in congress denied that the president had given them any hint of his Intentions. However, most of them appeared to expect a veto. Since there was no qnestlon that the house had the power to overturn a veto, the text must come in the senate, If It comes. In the senate. the odds favored overriding a veto but by a much closer vote than in the house. As the senate Is now aligned, administration supporters must pick up seven or eight votes to sustain a veto from among the 21 Democrats who supported the bill when It was passed. Whether the number needed is seven or eight depends on whether Sen Elbert D. Thomas. D., Utah, a foe of the bill.

Molotov to meet with them in Berlin Since any basic change In Truman foreign policy is unlikely at this time and the chance of such a big two conference bid from Mr Truman Is even more remote, it appears that Wallace deliberately asked the Impossible. But the crowd liked It and applauded the third party, too. Wallace spoke under auspices of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare whose officials estimated 10,500 turned out to hear him nt from on cents to

12.40 per head. Ushers pasaed the hat and the crowd contributed SN.GO<) to the conference cause.

Such a program, the President said, lx needed to .support United States foreign policy "until such time an the growing authority of the United Nations will make such strength unnecessary.” ' Listening to hia address, along with the Princeton graduating class, were such national figures as Fred M. Vinson, chief Justice of the United States; Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower, army chief of staff; Eugene Cardinal Tlsseranf; Warren R. Austin, the American delegate to the United Nations; Bernard M. Baruch, adviser to presidents since the first World War; and Serge Kossevitsyk. conductor of the Boston symphony. In all. Princeton awarded 36 honorary degrees on the occasion of Its bicentennial. Mr. Truman said he was acute-

ly aware of the monumental x|„ of the task of rebuilding the war torn world and called .for help. "The recent war left lu h, wake a tremendous task of repair and construction, of building a new and orderly world out of the economic and aocial chaos of the old." he said. "It is a task too great for us. or for any other nu tion, to undertake alone." After warning that friendly na tions must not be allowed to deteriorate by default, Mr. Truman went Into length on hie universal training recommendations as an antidote for national weakness which would damage our world position. "It will be an experience In democratic living, out of which should come In increased measure the unity so beneficial to the welfare of the nation." he said. The President, in a grave mood, summed up his conclusions on universal training thus; "We must remember, above all, that these men would not be training in order to win a war, but in order to prevent one." —-o — COUNTY TO e (('•■tlwwed fr«m Psa* 11 for the dredge several years ago when Adams county officials re fused to issue the bonds after special Judge Henry Kister ord ered the construction of the dredge in the original case.
