The W ashington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The fast-groW- ing labor crisis presents Harry s. Truman with the first big problem he has faced on hitherto we'll charted Roosevelt sea. Up until now, most policies, especially those dealing with war and peace, had been pretty well established by Truman's predecessor. In settling the current labor t turm oil, how ever, Harry is completely on his own.
 For some time, labor advice from White House insiders has differed. Truman's Labor Department has argued that labor troubles after wars were inevitable, that both Wilson and Harding had to call out U. s. troops after the last war, that labor has been in a strait jacket since Pearl Harbor, is bound to feel it's wild oats now; finally, that big business was equally in a strait jacket and equally willing to row with labor especially if it could get labor in wrong with the public. Advice to Truman :: Don't stick your neck out, let both sides battle it out for while.
 Opposite advice came from an- other wing of the White House. While admitting that all the above is true, other advisers urged that both labor and industry needed guidance For years roth labor and industry have had the Little Steel Formula as their guide. They were supposed not to go above this. Now labor finds itself losing it's overtime wages, with take-home pay dropping way below lush war days, yet with the cost of living still high. Therefore, Truman was urged to step for ward and set a national policy, suggest a wage increase which would partly offset the drop in take-home pay It is this group of advisers which Truman finally has decided to fellow.

the Senate might develop in Con-

no Nation is going to be required to

Senator Revercomb. who originally
expressed doubts about some pro-
visions of the Charter, said he had
no argument with the contention
that the President should make the
American decision on the use of a
protective" force when the Presi-
dent found that an international

eran of Richmond, Va, arrived here

his physician he carried with him
gasoline coupons worth LOO gallons
because he felt something would
happen to them" if he left them in

Last night an armed colored man
held him up near North Capitol and

$500 in cash, the 23-year-old veteran
told police.
Mr. Wallace said he had received
the coupons from his ration board
to secure his initial allotment of
gasoline from a distributor.
The veteran was wounded in 1912
on Santa Cruz Island, in the Pacific,
where he served as Navy gunner S
mate. A japanese bullet which tore
through his right leg paralyzed sew

use a crutch. Last week his doctor
suggested he go away for a while

Three Senators often critical

participation in the United Ma
tions peace-keeping organiza-
ton.
In separate interviews, Senators
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana
La Toilette, Progressive, of Wiscon-
sin and Revercomb, Republican, of
West Virginia said that if the Pres
ident's primary authority is limited
to the use of armed forces for po-
licing the peace, and if the size of
military contingents assigned to the
League is small, they can see no
reason for congressional contro-
versy. All three voted for the United
Nations Charter when it was rati-
fled by the Senate Saturday.
Administration leaders have indi-
Gated clearly they will ask in forth
coming legislation that the Presi-
dent control this country's vote in
the proposed World Security Coun-
Gil They have said the United
States representative would be au-
thorized to vote for the use of force
without consulting Congress only
in situations short of full-scale
warfare. This would not infringe

GUAM, July 30.-Three high
American military leaders today
promised Japan an unprecedent-
ed dosage Of destruction, to be
climaxed by invasion in over
whelming force.
Rear Admiral D. c. Ramsey, chief
of staff of the United States 5th
Fleet, declared in a broadcast to the
United States that the invasion
already had begun in effect, with
the ever Tightening blockade and
ever increasing bombing and she'll
ing of the eneny's home islands.
Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, COM
mander of the Goth Air Force, said
in another broadcast that his re-
markable advance-notice pamphlets
on Japanese cities marked for era
sure by Super Fortresses were in
tended 80 that all the Japanese
people must realize that further
resistance is senseless and will only
lead to the complete destruction of
their industries and their urban and
industrial areas"
1,0O0-Plane Raids Promised.
Admiral Ramsey spoke on the
Mutual network, Lemay on Ameri-
can Broadcasting Co. facilities.
Gen. Spaatz, commander of the
United States Strategic Air Forces,
said in a press conference that fleets
of more than 1000 B-29s soon would
be sent against the enemy with
twice the tonnage the American
Strategic Air Forces in Europe ever
dropped on the Germans in one
mission.
Admiral Ramsey declared that
"the most overwhelming forces ever
concentrated in military history"
would invade Japan.
Noting that the Japanese had re-
jected the Allied ultimatum to sur
render, he said, "It is a harsh fate
which the enemy has chosen. In
all world history there is no more
glaring example Oh a nation impos-
ing disaster upon itself. For these
people, the language of bombs and
guns apparently Is Tie only convinc-
ing language"
Knocking Out Jap Ships.
He said that carrier planes of the
American Sd Fleet and the British
Pacific task force had been putting
the finishing touches on the job of
rendering inoperational practically
every major japanese combat ship"
and that besides the doubling of the
Super Foress forces, Large forces of
bombers of other types also will be
on hand to destroy targets in
Japan"
Gen. Lemay, discussing his ad-
vance-notice system, referred to in
augurating this program" implying
that it would be used again. Already
his bombers have set fire to Of
the II cities that he warned.

cussion of the B-29 program, said,

throw against them (the Japanese)

De GaulIe Resignation
Hinted After Rebuff
By Assembly, 210-19
Ey the Associated Press.


PARIS, July 30.-Political OBJ
servers Speculated today whether
Gen. Charles de Gaulle would
resign as head of the French
provisional government as the
result of a sharp rebuff ad-
ministered to him last night by
the Consultative Assembly,
which overwhelmingly rejected
his plans for constitutional ref
erendum.
The assembly turned down, by
a vote of 210 to 10, the governments
proposal to hold a referendum dur
ing the October national elections
to determine whether the electorate
favored a return to the Third Re-
public'S 1875 constitution.
The assembly then adopted, 1856 to
As, left wing counterproposal, al
ready condemned publicly by Gen.
de Gaulle, proposing election of a
sovereign unicameral legislature
with representatives of Frances
colonies participating.
VIII SUCK Dy his GunS.
During the afternoon session,
Gen. de Gaulle had told delegates
he would stick by his guns, and
many construed this as a threat
either to resign or to force the dis
missal of some members of his
cabinet.
The Assembly also unanimously
voted a motion providing that the
government be responsible to the
constituent assembly to be elected in
October.
The Assembly actions, however,
unlike those of the Third Republics
Chamber of Deputies, are not bind
ing on the government, since the
Assembly is purely a consultative
body.
Nevertheless, the vote may indi-
cate the station of national senti-
ment. Most resistance organiza-
tions and left wing parties claim to
represent a majority of the electo-
rate when they oppose Gen. de
Gaulle's referendum proposal.
Would Decide on Sovereignty.
Under Gen. de Gaulle's plan if
the electorate favored a new consti-
tuition, it would decide whether it
wanted the Assembly to have COM
plete sovereignty while drafting the
document, or preferred to have the
power divided between the legiSla-
tive and executive branches.
The proposal had stirred left wing
opposition when it was submitted
to the Assembly for study. Gen.
de Gaulle has opposed a sovereign
assembly, which he said would ex-
pose the nation to grave confusion
and might imperil the entire demo-
cratic process in France.

Australia Not Consulted,

SYDNEY, Australia, July 80 (P).-
The Allied Potsdam surrender ulti-
matum to Japan was issued without
consulting the Australian govern
ment and without its concurrence, al
though the declaration is of funda-
mertal importance to the common
wealth, Herbert Evatt, Australian
minister of external affairs, said
yesterday.
Since 1941 the Australian govern

the Potsdam ultimatum makes 1t
necessary to restate that position
Mr.. Evatt asserted.
"All that need be said about actual
terms foreshadowed by in the ulti-
matum, is that they appear inclined
to treat Japan more leniently than
Germany, despite the fact that the
slightest sign of tenderness to Japa-
nese imperialism is entirely mis-
placed and disregards the outrage
