Coffey - Sailor Contost For Congress Watched

Son Killod in Crash, Mother Soaks His Soot

Mrs. Robert l.

Coffey, Sr

•Mkfe’

Special to Central Prets ■FFrASHINGTON -More than a year in advance of the 1950 conW gresaional campaign. Pennsylvania will elect a congressman in a race certain to be watehed by experts for signs of a trend. Opponents in the election are the mother of the last incumbent, a freshman legislator who waa killed in an airplane crash, and a lawyer who is a Navy veteran Mrs Robert L Coffey. Sr., of Johnstown. Pa., who is seeking the post made vacant by the death of her son. Is harked by the Democratic organization, with heavy AFL-CIO campaigning activity. Her opponent. John Sailor, was a Navy hero and Is prominent in Johnstown's civic affairs His Republican backers regard Sailor as a strong candidate but acknowledge that success depends on getting out the farm vote of two rural

eounties

The GOP strategists concede that it is difficult to rampaign against a mother whose son had a. service record equal to Sailor's The Republicans arc considering recruiting feminine "shock troops" who could work against Mrs. Coffey without being accused of being unchlvalrous.

• IN RE LOfHS JOHNSON—Defense Secretary Louis Johnson is a man worth watching. Just in

case President Truman decides against seeking re-election in 1952 Johnson's political star has been rising rapidly since he assumed his cabinet post It's a good bet that Democratic leaders will turn to him if Mr Truman gives the word that he wants to leave the

White House

The Defense secretary is In the enviable position of being "satisfactory" to most elements of the party A former national commander of the American Legion, he has a strong following among veterans He also l)as been s good party man. and. os a money-raiser in the 1948 campaign, demonstrated ability to "handle" tough customers Johnson’s recent order, slashing J35.000 civilian employes from the Defense department payroll, won him the praiae of conservative Democrats, who have been demanding economy In government Even If Mr Truman should decide to make the race, many observers regard Johnson as a good bet for the vice presidential spot After all. "Veep" Barkley is getting along in his 70's.

• PAUL GRIFFITHS APPOINTMENT-One thing Johnson I done however to cause disgnmtlement among some Democrats is his appointment of Paul H Griffith, a | Pennsylvania Republican, as assistant secretary of

Defense

Pennsylvania Democrats, particularly Houae members, are hopping mad about the anpomtment They romplam of Johnson’s high-handed’ attitude and ■no't about I 'Legion polities ” I Griffith, like Johnson, is an ex-national commander of the powerful veterans’ organization He has been serving under Johnson in a |ob that did not require Senate confirmation • • • • 1% CHINA AID PROSPECTS CiROW Chances are getting better I lor Inelusion of the Know-land China Aid provision In the one billion. ir.O million dollar "Arms for Friends" bill by the rombined Senate foreign relations and armed services committees Sen. tor William F Knowland (R). California, and his supporters. Sant China cel in for 175 million dollars sid through the bill The 'orei , »n relations group reportedly is opposed to the plan, while a najo. i’v Of the armed services committee appears to be for it.

Bu* Sen. Tom Connally, D.. Tex., snapped thrt “they’d better V’ satirfiod with what v/e offer if they want to get anything at i all.” Connally heads a special i committee considering President I Trumtn’3 arnrj aid program. Mr. Truman asked nothing for China. | The proposed compromise, drafted yesterday by Connally and the state department, would provide Up to $75,000,000 for aid j in the Far F-ast, but would give the President a free hand in deciding whether any arms went specifically to non-Communist

China.

Sen. William F. Kowlad, R.. Cal., leader of a GOP faction seeking arms for China, flatly rejected the proposal.^ "A compromise not including the words ’military aid’ or ‘China’ is no compromise at all,” he said. "We’re not going to be satisfied with any phony settlement.” Connally’a committee was approaching a showdown on the China issue. Knowland virtually eonceeded defeat within the committee, but promised a last ditch battle later when the bill •to re-arm the Atlantic pact powers and other free nations comes to the senate floor. The committee also neared a decision on a proposal by Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga.. to limit arms spending for Western Europe to a flat $300,000,000 in cash. The Administration asked $1,160,990,000. But was indicated Jit will settle for $500,000,000 ( cash and the same amount in contract authority, i George told reporters that his . proposal would limit the entirre arms program to about $700,000.000. He said he sought the cutback for the European end bcl cause a grant of contract • authority would "bind” congress 1 to- a two-year program and would afford no review next year when, presumably, mutual de- | fense plans of the Atlantic pact | signatories will be ready for
