President to Bounce Back as Before, Close Friends Declare

By The Scripps-Ho

Newspapers

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10—Truman administration’s

in serious trouble. *

, ror ow H

It's one of the main reasons for ‘administration reverses on troops-to-Europe, four million man ceiling on Armed Forces, slow pace on new tax bill, emasculation of

reciprocal trade program.

* Truman friends say he'll bounce back, as he has"

before. But privately, Democratic politicans hope he'll not try to run again next year,

Democratic hope—is zooming.

"campaigned by linking St, Louis Democratic organization with underworld. Labor sat«t out this time.

"Result was defeat for

the party which elected its candidate with 22,000 vote margin

only four months ago. Meanwhile, RFC stench gets worse and Republicans plan to keep it alive indefi~mitely. Mississippi ‘probe of federal job sales will mean new embarrassment for the White House. There's no sign yet that labor’s break with administration can be healed soon. It's

Sere

Urged as Senator

. REP. THOMAS R. UNDERWOOD of Lexington, Ky. seems best guess as successor to 8en. Virgil Chapman, killed this week in auto crash. He's

member of dominant bluegrass -

‘Democratic quartet which in¢luded in addition to Chapman ~Sen. Earle Clements and Gov. Laurence Wetherby. Underwood managed Clement's successful Senate campaign and filled Chapman's House seat when Chapman went to Senate. He's editor of Lexington Herald.

Seek Gl in Korea

IF JOINT Chiefs of Staff have their way, this government will bring pressure on other United Nations members for more troops to fight in Korea. MacArthur's statement, warning that we face a stalemate without reinforcements paved the way. But brass here knew he was going to make it, encouraged him to do so. Pentagon leaders want ‘Truman's OK on a plan to have State Department ask United Nations Secretary General Trygve Lie for men from England, France, Holland, etc, They're opposed to sending more Americans to Korea.

Truman Angered

TRUMAN'S GETTING madder at the British by the hour as revelations of their trade deals with Red China and other satellites — even with Russia — continue. President thought he had Attlee’s promise to stop trafficking with the enemy. Recent statements on floor of House of Commons defending business-as-usual amazed him. We can't do anything about it, but Truman's keeping score. He'll probably have less regard in the future about Britain's feelings in such matters as recent blow-up over who will command NATO naval forces.

Delay India Wheat

BILL GIVING $85 million worth of wheat to India is held up in House Rules Committee—and that's where it's likely to stay for a long time. Administration supporters, including Speaker Rayburn, are applying heat to get it out. But rules committee's allpowerful once more. And questions from members at open hearing indicated a majority opposes the gift.

Letters Piling Up RFC'S BEEN ready for a week to give the Fulbright committee those photostats of

letters written to it by Con-

gressmen _in behalf of loan applications. Committee asked

for them when it found out White House

: had asked for photostats. But now it's saying it can't find a place big enough in the U. 8. capitol or Senate Office building, to store the letters. It's asked the RFC to hold up delivery until notified, for this reason. Persons who have seen _ the bundle of 700 letters say ' they could be locked in any

Call Up of Reserves HERE ARE reasons being given — privately — for call-up of inactive reserve officers ahead of actives. First, they're considered valuable even though they've given no time to reserve activities. Theory is they've been holding down responsible jobs which left them ne tige. for military training — but indicates they're substantial, reliable types now needed. Second, most of actives are now in organized. units. Planners want to save these units intact for possible all- out emergency. Draft Director Hershey's preparing to set up farm mobilization committees at the county level to pass on deferments for essential farm workers. It's an effort to make sure that boys who are kept at home are not subject to charge of being slackers, as they sometimes were in. World War IL

Sight Victory Cotton bloc in Congress is confident of final victory over Price Administrator DiSalle on raw cotton price ceilings. They plan to write specific exemption for raw cotton into defense productiog act when it comes up for renewal before June 30 expiration date.

Push Red Probe

LOOK FOR Senate Judiciary Committee's study of Communist activities to be the most exh&ustive yet undertaken. It won't go in for kleig lights, headlines, but will employ staff to do thorough investigating job, develop solid cases. Committee is loaded with men who can't be accused of pulling punches to favor administration — Chairman Pat McCarran (Nevada) Democrats Eastland (Miss.) and Smith (N. C.); Republicans Ferguson (Mich.) and Jenner (Ind.). Grant of power for investigation is broad as a barn

door. Part of job will be to watch enforcement of 1950 internal security act.

And one of first studies will have to do with penetration of Commies into key industrial spots.

» . ‘Operation Killer’ GEN, MacARTHUR'S talk about “operation killer” and meat-grinder tactics in Korea is bringing letters of protest to congressmen; particularly from Quaker pacifists. They call such references to tragic warfare “wicked, stupid, pagan and barbaric.” i Sen William Langer (R. N. D.) is the only member of Congress who brags about being arrested. In the latest congressional directory he says in his biography: “Only person ever to be arrested in any English-speaking country for filing an affidavit of prejudice against a judge.”

Turns Farmers on Into Day Laborers

By GORDON CUMMING Compiled from the Wire Services The Kremlin master plan to uproot Russia's peasants and herd them into “farm cities” was being watched in Washington today for what it may augur in the East-West strugle. ¥ Experts on Russia say they've been aware for some

time of the movement inside

Russia. But, they add, they haven't been able yet to gauge far Stalin is prepared to

pirat detailed reports of the plan werp carried in exclusive dispatchs from William H. Stoneman, European correspondent of The Indianapolis Times. The series ran in The Times this past week. Mr. Stoneman reported that Stalin has decreed the forceful transfer of all collective farmers from their villages to agricultural cities known as “agrograds.” "It is, Mr. Stoneman wrote. latest Stalin offensive against the Russian peasantry which he has feared and hated from the early days of the Bolshevik revolution. Goes Back to 20s

Washington officials say the

implications of the plan, if carried out fully, are tremendous, although ‘they decline to speculate about its effect on Russia's external relations,

The development is not sur- !

prising, they feel. - Its special significance, they add, lies in the fact that it will be the first time the Russian farmer and his home will be moved physically and transplanted in a super-collec-tive community. Each stage of the collective farm process, dating back to the 1920s and the early 30s increasingly oppressed the farmers, the experts recall. “Their discontent was so vast in the 20s that Stalin made some compromises, left the farmers with a plot of

}

land, a cow and a few other ~

farm animals and took it easy for a time. During World War II, with Communist vigilance somewhat relaxed, the farmers showed more concern for their own inderests than the state's, Rigidly Controlled The controls were clamped back on after the war. And now, apparently, Stalin is prepared to take the risk of flaunting further the peasant discontent with this scheme for making virtual day laborers of them in the farm cities, The present peasant discontent, officials say, means little since they are. rigidly controlled and have no way of organizing opposition. But the officials acknowledge an opportunity fer the West, if it can reach the ears of the Soviet farmers, to fan their unrest and dissatisfaction, They will, however, need more detailed intelligence on what is actually ' happening, they say. They agree with Mr. Stoneman's quoted sources that the Soviet program if it goes the whole way, probably means that Stalin will be too busy to risk getting involved in a general war, at least until the campaign is secured. Also, as Mr. Stoneman reported, these officials feel it in no way conflicts with. the Soviet's ultimate objectives.

Big Three

THE United States, Great

Britain and France vesterday -

challenged Russia in Paris to prove that she wants a serious foreign ministers conference to end world tension. The West's three Deputy Foreign Ministers submitted a compromise agenda, or list of topics, to be discussed by the foreign ministers themselves. Deputy Soviet Minister Andrei Gromyko virtually rejected the Western compromise agenda in advance, charging that it was designed to “stifle” discussion. But he promised a full reply on Monday and the showdown was expected to ome next week.

Great Britain HER BERT MORRISON'S first job today as Britain's new Foreign Secretary was to help East and West reach a compromise in Paris that will bring the Big Four ministers to-their first conference since 1949.

« Bevin and Permanent Under-

Secretary Ernest Davies, Britain’s delegate in Paris, conferred at Mr. Bevin's apartment last night. Mr. Davies flew back from Paris especially to talk with his new chief. Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee emphasized that the West will make no major concessions simply to get Russia to sit down and talk peace in the cold war. Speaking before a Labor Party rally at Kidderminster, Mr. Attlee said there can be no settlement of the East-West conflict until the Soviet Union abandons its policy of ‘“aggréssive imperialism.”

Yugoslavia

EDVARD KARDELJ, deputy premier and foreign minister of Yugoslavia, said last night that Soviet policy Is “leading diréctly to war.’ Mr. Day addressed an election meeting of some 20,000 Slovenes at Ljubljana after a top Yugoslav field commander said in Belgrade that Marshal Tito's army would “break the

enemy's divisions” if Yugosla-

via were attacked. “Soviet policy, like every policy of violence and domination, not only causes war but is a worm which is nibbling away at the forces of the Soviet Union itself,” Mr. Kardelj said. “It is our duty te fight strongly for peace and unmask the lying peacemakers and the masked aggressors,” he said. The second national cone gress of 1200 delegates reprethe 1.2 million members of the ‘National Liberation War Veterans Federation,”

Marshal Tito blasted Cominform propaganda as “all lies” and praised the veterans who fought the Germans six years ago as “still the defenders of their country’s freedom.”

France HENRI QUEUILLE formed France's 16th cabinet since 1944 last night with much the same faces and problems that resulted in a crisis 10 days ago. The 67-year-old veteran Radical Socialist who was given a solid vote of confirmation by the National Assembly Friday night completed the lineup of a middle-of-the-road coalition “government of liquidation” to prepare the country for a general election-—prob-ably early in June. The new government, almost identical with its predecessor, would have to pass some eco-

nomic reforms, approve the delayed 1951 budget, rush through some constitutional

reforms and get the Assembly to agree on changes in the balloting system for the elections.

Czechoslovakia

ARCHBISHOP JOSEF BERAN, Roman Catholic Primate of Czechoslovakia, has been banished from Prague and placed under confinement in the country, it was announced last night at Prague. ‘The official Prague radio said Fr. Beran, who led the church's losing fight against the Communist state for control of church affairs, also had been fined an undisclosed amount for violating “criminal law.” The government did not say whether the Archbishop was in prison or awaiting trial. Neither did it say when he had been ordered from Prague. The radio announcement said a “patriotic priest,” Antonin Stehlik, had been named * a capitular vicar to take Fr, Beran’s place. ; . Fr. Btehlik was elected at a

‘meeting of Prague priests, the

official radio said. It gave no other details, Vatican City gu ago gn-

Iran FANATICAL Nationalists warned Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi and his cabinet yesterday they were all marked for death unless Premier Ali Razmara’s assassin is released from prison within three days. The ultimatum was published "In the newspaper Asnaf, which quoted a proclamation issued by Fidaiyan Islam, the nationalist religious-political sect, whose 28-year-old triggerman cut down Gen. Razmara, Iran's strong man, in a Tehran Mosque Wednesday. The proclamation went on to describe the killer as a “saint who sent Razmara to hell” and declared “all traitors and servants of foreigners” face “‘annihilation.” A parliamentary commission voted Thursday to nationalize the vast Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., which controls all of the country's oil--24 per cent of the world’s production. But reliable political sources said today that both houses of Majlis (parliament), supported by the Shah and his ministers, will not approve the commission’s action,

the possibility that Australia °

ONE: Lengthening the 40hour week and weeding out 350,000 workers from government jobs and ‘‘redundant” manufacturing industries.

TWO: Revaluing the Australian pound and increasing wages. No economic yes-man, his reports frequently embarrass the state LaBéor government of Queensland for which he works. He's such a whiz at his job, however, that the government wouldn't think of firing him.
