Senate Group Visits Truman on Other Matters, but May

Take Opportunity to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (U. P.

Discuss Nomination. ) ~A subcommittee of the senate

naval affairs committee, which has been considering Edwin W. Pauley’s nomination to be undersecretary of the navy, scheduled a conference

with President Truman today. Announced purpose of the visit permanent authorized strength of t will give the senators an excellent opportunity to discuss with Mr, Truman the increasing for Mr. Pauley to drop his fight for the nomination, On the subcommittee are Senators David I, Walsh (D. Mass), chairman of the full committee, and Leverett Saltonstall (R. Mass.) and Peter G. Gerry (D. R. 1). At today’s committee hearings on the Pauley nomination, John A. Smith, president of the Independent Petroleum and Consumers Association of California, resuméd his story of the behind-the-sceties political battles in California over a state oil conservation measure. He charged yesterday that Mr, Pauley “sold out” to the “Big Oil” side of the fight, and, in. effect, asked him what his “price” would be to follow suit.

This testimony came as the com-|’

mittee was reported willing to give Mr. Pauley a clean character reference if he would drop his fight for the nomination. Thus Democrats and the navy would be saved from what a committee majority spokesman described as “further embarrassment.” Mr. Pauley, however, says he still is in the fight,

Both Parties Support

Vandenberg Speech Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) got strong support from his colleagues today th his demand for a firm attitude in our dealings with Russia. Leading senators of both parties were loud in indorsing Mr. Vandenberg’'s conception of a U. 8. foreign policy which “says what it means and means what it says.” A dissenting overtone, however, was provided by Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) who recently returned from an overseas trip which included a visit with Soviet Premier Josef Stalin. He thought the balance of Mr. Vandenberg’s scales “fell a little against Russia.” Mr. Pepper said he objected particularly to the manier ‘in which Mr. Vandenberg posed the question, “What is Russia up to now?” The way Senator Vandenberg put it, he said, it implied “something ominous.” Mr. Pepper said Russia might have some questions of her own about what Britain and this coun-

Senator Willis said he didn’t want to be a pessimist but “we must face the fact that Russian aggression has advanced further today than Hitler's aggression had in 1939."

Expect Concessions

On Selective Service Congressional supporters of the draft indicated today that they were ready to make some concessions to get the selective service act continued beyond May 15. Chairman Andrew J. May (D. Ky.) of the house military affairs committee announced that he would

six month extension. But he said he would propose that the minimum draft age be increased from 18 to 21. He said the age provision would meet the objections of those who oppose an extension of the.draft because they feel it is important for 18-year-olds to continue their educations. Mr. May said he did not know exactly when his legislation would be ready because he still was working on some other provisions. It also would bar the induction of married men or fathers. The top induction age would be 30, Mr. May said.

Asks Extension of ‘Simplified’ OPA Ralph E. Flanders, president of the Boston Federal reserve bank, today asked congress to simplify price control regulations and keep them in force until the late spring of 1947. Testifying before the house banking committee on the administration’s bill to extend’ price control until July 1, 1947, Mr. Flanders said that “price control at present is

SHARE-THE-HOUSING

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (U. P.).— President Truman today indorsed! the nationwide “share the housing” campaign undertaken by a group of | religious leaders. Representatives of the Catholic, | Protestant and Jewish faiths placed the plan before the President last week. The religious leaders’ program calls for: ONE: Organization of a housing committee in every church or syhagogue. TWO: A canvas of the membership of every church or synagogue to determine available housing| facilities, THREE: A check on veterans in|

rolls as a start. FOUR: Community co-operation among all religious and civic groups.

PERMANENT 5-STAR RANKS APPROVED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (U. P). —The house today unanimously | passed legislation to permit the na. tion's top war-time army and navy! leaders to retain permanently their | five-star ranks of general of the) army and fleet admiral. The measure would permit the| four five-star generals and the four | fleet admirals to retire at $9700 a’ yvear—75 per cent of their base pay

unworkable and unfair.” “I believe that we should extend price control authority, simplified and streamlined, until the spring of | 1947,” Mr, Flanders said. “It should {then be terminated finally and | (completely, except for rent controls.” Mr. Flanders was the first wit-

iness to ask for an earlier termina-

tion of authority than the June 30, 1047, date sought by the administration. “I would not object to any termination date between March 31, 1947,

land June 1, 1947,” he said. The fm-

portant thing is that we fix now and with certainty the date of final termination, “I believe that extension of price control authority until March 31, 1947, is necessary to allow a reasonable time for high employment to be reached and a new balance between supply and demand to be achieved.”

|Charges Case B Bill Would Cause Strikes

Chairman Paul M. Herzog of the national labor relations board said today that the Case labor bill would | cause—not cure—strikes and strike violence. Mr. Herzog told the senate labor committee that the. house-approved measure would stir up new troubles | between labor and management, It would, he said, drive “bitter . desperate” men to leave their jobs. He said the measure encroached on the authority of the NLRB and was restrictive legislation aimed directly and solely at workers. Criticizing the proposed penalties for picket ‘line violence as “too drastic and too rigid,” Mr. Herzog sald they might lead to a revival of the old company practice of hiring

SPANISH TROOPS] __ MOVE TO BORDER)

Report France Accepts U.S. Plan to Denounce Franco.

‘By JOSEPH W, GRIGG JR. United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Feb. 28—French press dispatches from Madrid today reported Spanish troop movements along the entire length of the sealed frontier. One dispatch said soldiers of the Madrid garrison had been sent north toward the border. All normal traffic between France and Spain had ceased several hours before the deadline set by the French cabinet to close the fron-

Spanish frontier authorities at guards that they would authorize the entry into Spain of travelers of all nationalities in transit through Spain. | Study U. 8. Note The French government was studying a United States note suggesting that the two countries and Britain join in a condemnation of the Franco regime and support of an interim government for Spain. The first French reaction was favorable. Some definite action was possible at a cabinet meeting tomorrow. The French government, meanwhile, was expected to avoid a single-handed breach of diplomatic relations with Spain unless Communist party pressure on the government became too heavy to withstand. (In Washington it was reported both Great Britain and France have agreed in principle to the U. 8. proposal that the three powers issue a joint statement urging that a caretaker government replace the Franco regime.) Guards Reinforced A United Press dispatch from the hamlet of Bourg-Madame in the Pyrenees said" Spanish assault guards, civil guards and caribineros were reinforced strongly within the last 24 hours across the border from the frontier town. “Bugle calls are audible in the still mountain air from the barracks in Spanish Puigcerda just inside Catalonia,” the dispatch said. Border reports from Cerbere said Spanish assault guards on duty in Perthus strongly protested to the French gendarmerie against French news photographers who tried to take their pictures from French frontier territory. The Spaniards established a tight control over the main road toward France between the Spanish towns of La Junquera and Gerona. A Spanish bus carrying goods to Perthus, astride the border, was

Red wooden = barricades blocked each end of the international bridge over the Biddassoa river at Hendaye. A few guards and curious onlookers stood on each bank. A French announcement said that diplomatic personnel, Red Cross officials and UNRRA officials would be permitted across the frontier by the French after the French deadline tonight. So will Portuguese nationals returning from France, and French nationals returning from Spain. All rail, highway, air and sea traffic from France to Spain and Spanish territories will be halted. Postal and telegraphic service will cease. There is no telephone service between the two countries. G. I’S-QUELL RIOT OF KOREANS IN TOKYO TOKYO, Feb. 28 (U. P.) —American military police broke up a group of rioting Koreans a half mile from the imperial palace today and rescued one Korean who was being dragged through the streets with a rope around his neck. Witnesses described the riot as a Korean factional fight. Police found the mob marching through the street shouting and brandishing knives tied at the end of long poles, Two were reported arrested for carrying American weapons. The Koreans, when questioned at nolice headquarters, said the trouble hYegan during & meeting of two left wing Korean factions.

The “visiting fireman”-to end all visiting firemen was visiting firemen here today. He is Willie Williams of San Francisco, the man who can't resist fire stations. So far, so he claims, he’s visited more than 39,000 of them throughout the U. 8. He likewise modestly describes himself

ds the nation’s champion badgeholder, Willie arrived in town today via train from Cincinnati and immediately dashed for Station 7, caroming then to Station 13. Before leaving, he intends to drop in on all 31 Indianapolis firehouses. Wagon for Badges “I'm in a rut, but I can't get it out of my blood,” explained Willie, leisurely rolling a cigaret at Station 13, while firemen there marveled over the badges he carts around in a little red wagon.

The house food investigating committee, meanwhile, prepared to look into the .entire world grain situation. The committee will begin its grain hearings next week, Bread Famine Feared Becretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson will be the first of a long string of witnesses, Rep. August H. Andresen (R. Minn.), a committee member, said there was danger of a “bread famine” next fall. In calling tomorrow's conference, Mr. Truman said the group would try to work out an “aggressive voluntary program.” The President presumably meant that Americans should not be wasteful and concentrate on foods in strong supply. His use of the word “voluntary’ apparently ruled out any suggestion that this country would have to return to rationing although Mr. Truman said before that if it were necessary to ration food, it would be done.

U. S. URGED TO AID IN TRAINING NURSES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 (U. P), ~—Professional nursing groups think the federal government should continue to help finance ‘the education of nurses through a peacetime program similar to the wartime cadet nurse corps. They contend such action is warranted by the growing demand for nursing care in the face of a dwindling supply of nurses. An estimated 185,000 additional nurses are needed right now. The national nursing council, a wartime board made up of representatives of all nursing organizations, recently proposed a peacetime nurses training program, It pointed out that 177,000 young women enrolled in the wartime program which ended last Oct. 15.
