Fi or Conventions

Truman ‘Awaits ‘Developmenty’ GOP Leaning Toward Taft

By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers

WASHINGTON, Mar. 31—Presidential nominating . -

conventions are more than a year off, but maneuvering

has started.

You can discount President Truman's statement that his mind is made up about running. It's a teaser. Close friends are sure he'll wait developments. All sorts of things could change his mind. He'll see how things look in 1952 before final decision. ‘Also you can discount prediction just made by - Undersecretary of Labor Michael Galvin that Mr. Truman will run, will be re-elected. It's a Democratic National Committee plant to offset polls showing Truman popu-

larity at all-time low.

Best guess is that President Truman will not run. But it's only a guess. And Mr. Truman can’t confirm it without having administration fall apart at seams.

One group of-Democrats ‘is maneuvering to nominate Gen.

Dwight D. Eisenhower.

fos

Its plan: Hold 1952 convention much earlier than usual and before Republicans meet. Name Eisenhower

before Repub-

licans have a chance to. This group thinks no one else could

win on Democratic ticket.

Don't forget that George Allen,

Kisenhower's political mentor, is a Democrat.

Republicans, elated at Truman administration scandals, feeling certain of success, are

leaning toward Taft. Majority -

would prefer a regular man if they thought they could elect him.

Also, one group of Republicans, sure President Truman will force his own nomination, wants to meet later than Democrats in hope of getting joint Republican-Dixiecrat ticket.

Republicans plan to set date for their convention at meeting this May. They've never acted so early. It may give a clue to their strategy.

If Mr. Truman decides to run, he'll probably insist on convention date later than Republicans’. If Democrats set an early date, anything can happen.

A New Attraction

KING subcommitte of House Ways and Means may be functioning as substitute attraction before Kefauver Crime Committee submits final report; before Senate votes on Wiley-Tobey move to hold more hearings. King group will hire committee counsel next week, will start getting ready for hearings of its own. House investigation will concern Internal Revenue Bureau

have shown that only ability to escape heavy taxes has let underworld build up big protection money funds, heavy capital for buying into legitimate business.

King investigation may be

two-year affair. Members say, after preliminary meetings, whole thing is bigger job than

they supposed. Wide TV Coverage

THERE'LL BE nationwide television coverage of important congressional hearings by the end of this year, TV experts say. They're convinced public will expect it after tasting excitement. of Kefauver probe, will get it. But daily coverage of regular House and Senate sessions seems unlikely. Not. all TV stations are sure they'd be worth covering, even if Javits resolution, giving permission, is passed. Most are dull affairs. - Washington TV shows are carried across country by coms

‘bination of coaxial cables and

microwave. Kefauver hearings were telecast as far west as Omaha. Network will reach Denver before winter; Pacific coast by Jan. 1. ‘Microwave substituted

Des Moines. It's cheaper to install and operate, Court tests may set the pattern for future TV coverage of congressional hearings. TV lawyers expect to take part in any court action

"To Learn of War

By GORDON CUMMING Compiled from the Wire Services . How strong are the armies of Red Russia? How many men have, they in uniform? How are they trained? What is their equipment? What is their threat? The Indanapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News Service today present, from material gathered by the intelligence services of the British War Office, a revealing behind-the-curtains picture. The Soviet armed forces total more than 4 million men with 2.8 million men, or 175 divisions, in the army. Young Ivan begins training in the Dosarm, a sort of a national guard, at 15. Dosarm trains him in drilling, musketry, vehicle driving, motorcycle riding, operation and radios and phones, parachuting and guerrilla warfare. Then he is ready for the army.

Virtually all commissioned officers remain in ‘uniform until they retire or become ‘politically decomposed,” prove to be industrial experts er are disabled. The Soviet soldier's day runs from 163% to 17% hours. He spends lots of time absorbing Communist propaganda, much of it against America and Britain. Meals consist mainly of soup with dots of meat or fish, and bread. The soldier also gets a meager handout of coarse tobacco. Officers can buy some extra. food at special state shops. Stern Discipline A’ private is’ paid about 25 cents a day. All must con-. tribute one month's pay a year (and sometimes two) to. “state loans.” Soldiers also are expected to contribute to notable state projects, day presents for Josef Stalin. Discipline is strict, punishment severe. Offenders have been sentenced to as much as 23 years in Siberia. A.sergeant who lost his pistol got four years at hard labor. A soldier who merely talked to a civilian about his outfit was sent away for 10 years. Furloughs are few. The Soviet private is classified ‘as

“horse-trading” on side issues and get down to the serious business of drafting an agenda for the Big Four foreign .ministers conference, it was reliably reported. in Paris. The agreement was said to have been reached during a

luncheon attended by the Brit-

ish, Russian and French deputies given by United States Delegate Philip C. Jessup in the Paris home of his aid, Charles E. Bohlen. Only the four delegation chiefs Mr. Jessup. Andrei Davies of Britain, Alexandre Gromyko of Russia, Ernest Parodi of France — and one

assistant each attended the luncheon. They were said to have

agreed-4that both sides must scrap the “red herring’ issues and the propaganda speeches and knuckle down. Delegation spokesmen would» not say what specific items East and West had agreed to drop. But it seemed certain these would include: ONE: “Soviet demands for discussion of the North AtJantic Treaty and American militarw bases in, Britain, Norway, Iéeland; other European countries and the Near East. TWO: Soviet demands for discussion of alleged breaches of the Italian peace treaty. 3. Soviet demands for discussion. of denazification and war criminals in Germany and Austria.

When he had finished speaking he went back to the hospital where he is being treated for a duodenal ulcer, Mr. Attlee’s no-compromise address set the stage for more bitter weeks of parliamentary maneuvering and wrangling when the House of Commons returns from its Easter recess. Observers now believe the Labor government, with its slim majority, will try to remain in “office through the Festival of Britain .this summer. Mr. Attlee frankly admitted Britons were grumbling over their harsh life, but he discounted public opinion polls, saying, “I do not think a prime minister should be influenced by political tipsters.”
