SAN BRUNO, Calf, July al
There was only one red ration point
in the house when Britain's new
Prime Minister. Clement Attlee
came to dinner at the Robert Collier
home last April-and he topped of
the evening by doing the dishes.
Mr.. Attlee then was Deputy Prime
Minister attending the United Ma
tions Conference at San Francisco
Mrs. Collier, sitting in the living
room of her San Bruno cottage yes
terday, recalled her excitement.
Bob, my husband" she said
wrote Mr.. Attlee a letter when he
heard he was coming out here for
the conference. Mr.. Attlee arrived
on Tuesday and 'phoned us or
Thursday"
1t was some 80 years ago, her hus-
band explained, that he lived next
door to Mr.. Attlee on Durham row
in the east end of London.
The new Prime Minister had just
finished oxford and Mr.. Collier had
completed his printers apprentice

report, released salvo of 18 tor
pedoes and a blazing fusillade of
gunf1re at the convoy then steamed
out of Tokyo Bay without single
casualty or solitary scratch"
Was at White House In 1885.
The Navy bureau Of press rela-
tions here reported that Capt.
Hederman now lists Charleston,
S. c., as his permanent address. His
wife lives in La Jolla, Calf.
A graduate of Annapolis in 1928,
the 43-year-old naval officer was
first assigned to the U. s. S. Wy
oming, then received instruction at
the Naval Torpedo Station, New
port, r. l., and served on a number
of vessels in Atlantic and Pacific
waters before being assigned as an
aide to the White House for a short
period in 1886 as a lieutenant. the
Navy bureau said.
1t. Thaddeus r. Beal, Lakeville,
Conn, operations officer for Capt.
Hederman, was quoted in the dis
patch as saying: Il know we sank
two of them and possibly a third.
The rest (of the convoy turned
around and steamed farther back
into the bay"
THE enemy ships returned our
fire" 1t. Beal said, but it seemed
to be mostly ack-ack so maybe they
thought they were being attacked
by planes"
Ships Trying to Sneak Out.
1t. Beal said the destroyers caught
the merchantmen trying to sneak
out of the bay and escape the car
rier attacks. .-
Mr.. Lindsey reported the high
speed sweep carried the destroyers
into waters not previously pene-
trated by American surface craft"
The ships just got inside the
mouth of Tokyo Bay, the AP dis
patch said. though the original
plan called for an even deeper
penetration"
The fringe of typhoon slowed
down the squadron, according to
the dispatch, and it didn't have
time to continue the sortie. But
Mr.. Lindsey revealed "the action
was close enough to shore for Amer
leans to see blinker lights on the
beach flashing frantically as the
Japanese tried to find out what was
going on"

that the ultimate effect of the elec-
ton would be to bring Russia and
Britain closer together on some is
sues. Prof. Harold Laski, chairman
of the Labor party's Executive Com
mittee, said the victory would make
possible full friendship" with the
Soviet Union, and that the govern
ment would be in a position to do
"full justice" to the Spain of Gen
eralissimo Francisco Franco.
Mr.. Attlee also spoke for Cooper
alton with other nations, particu-
larly our great Allies, the United
States of America and the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics"
Strong Cabinet Expected.
In order to carry out the Labor
party's policies, both foreign and
domestic, Mr.. Attlee was expected to
surround himself with a strong and
experienced cabinet. Besides Mr.
Bevin for foreign minister, others
mentioned prominently for cabinet
posts we're Herbert Morrison, home
secretary in the wartime coalition;
A. v. Alexander, first lord of the
admiralty in the coalition; Hugh
Dalton, president of the Board OF
Trade under the coalition, and Sir
Stafford Cripps, coalition minister
Of aircraft production, now men
toned as secretary of state for In
dia. There also was speculation that
several women might be named to
the cabinet from among the %
elected, including 10 to new seats.
Mr.. Attlee, himself Deputy Prime
Minister in the wartime government,
has attended the Potsdam Confer
ence in order to assure that there
would be no break in the continuity
of British foreign policy.
The Oxford-educated Prime Min
ister first was elected to Parliament
from the Limehouse district of Lon
don In 1922 and long has been a
leader in the cause of Socialism in
England.
His victory in this election was
believed likely to have a telling ef-
feet throughout Europe. Leftward
trends already have been noted In
other European elections, and the
show of massive strength of the La
Dor party in Britain may spur the
demand for free elections in such
nations as Belgium, Yugoslavia,
Greece and Albania, to which royal
ty is waiting to return.

even by the staunchest of Labor
supporters.
But none denied this was a swift
leftward surge for traditionally con-
servative Britain. Some attributed
it to natural dissatisfaction among
the people after six years of war
time hardship.
The Times of London, seeking the
cause of the astonishing" Labor
victory, said the answer must be
found largely in the circumstances
and the conduct of the election it
SELF" and held Mr.. Churchill re-
sponsible for that. The newspaper
said the defeated Prime Minister
had introduced and insisted upon
emphasizing the narrower animos-
titles of the party fight" permitting
"the great national program" to be
relegated to the background, and
diminishing the Prime Ministers
own stature.
Is Districts to Be Counted.
The result, with 13 districts yet to
count votes, gave the Labor party
800 of the $40 Commons seats. Allied
parties captured n more, for q
total of AIT. The Conservatives had
only 1875 seats and allied parties IL
more for total of 210. The results
in the remaining 13 contests will be
made known early in August.
The Labor party is committed to a
socialistic program which can shake
the foundations of British economy
as it is constituted at present. The
party calls for naturalization OF
basic industries such as coal, iron
and steel and inland transportation
and of the Bank Of England.
"We are embarked on a great ad-
venture" Mr.. Attlee declared, sum-
marizing the party goal as "the
highest standard of life we can
achieve for ALL"
1--WE want security that will

soft-spoken, 62-year -old labor lead
er who worked 26 years in politics
for this chance to test his Socialist
theories in action.

for all people, he said. 1--WE must
reconstruct our ruined homes and
build up the highest standard OF
life we can achieve for all"
Early Pacific Victory Hinted.
Mr.. Churchill, in a valedictory
statement as Prime Minister, said
all plans and preparations had been
made for victory over Japan
which might come much quicker
than we have hitherto been entitled
to expect" and declared he re-
gretted he had not been permitted
to finish that job. He expressed
gratitude to the British people for
unflinching support during the
perilous years Of the European war

Presidential Travels

President Truman was quick TO follow ii,
President Roosevelt's footsteps as far as pros

high degree that the nation, somewhat dubious
at the start of his capacity to fill the office
he was called to occupy, is heartened ana
willing I'd move on to victory under his leader.
ship
Mr.. Truman also appears inclined to follow
Mr.. Roosevelts example as a traveller. his
potential schedule calls for visits to many
places 1t is said he may look in on the
San Francisco conference before it adjourns
He may attend the Conference of Governors
in July on Makinac Island, Michigan.
Then there is the meeting OF the Big Three,
which probably will be delayed by Prime Min
lister Winston Churchils resignation and the
political situation in England. Unless General
Charles de Gaulle visits Washington, Mr.. Tru-
man will have to go to him, as he has con-
scented to confer with the French trouble-mak-
err.
He nay visit Manila when the Independent
republic of the Philippines is created. Presi-
dent Osmena has urged him to attend this
ceremony. He is committed to visit North
Carolina and address a special session of the
state senate in October.
While it is pleasant to vision the President
of the United States becoming more closely
identified with leaders in other parts of the
world and the people and leaders in the
states through personal contact Mr.. Truman's
friends and advisers would do well to remind
him that President Roosevelt's health was adj
versely affected by his travels, that President
Wilson wrecked his health when he took the
League OF Nations battle directly to the people
and President Harding collapsed during a
speaking tour on the Pacific Coast
If President of the United States could
travel hither and yon and leave the job be-
hind, as average vacationers do, it would be
different. But President is never off the job.
When he leaves Washington he takes it with
him and must add the tasks involved in the
junket, whether political addresses, dedica-
tons, congratulations awards, or whatnot.
They all increase the strain upon his physical
and nervous strength and the drain upon his
constitutional reserves.

Will Benefit Railroads

To outsiders looking in it would appear that
the interstate Commerce Commission freight
rate equalization order can be highly bene-
fetal to the railroads.
World peace is clearly on the horizon. When
it comes the terrific strain the rail lines have
been under during war years will be relieved
They will be seeking shipments instead OF
having to refuse many as they have had to
do in the war emergency. Equitable rates
obviously will help them.
Furthermore, with peace there will be n
great campaign by airline operators to abb
sorb as much of the nations freight business
a. new and larger planes can accommodate.
And it has been demonstrated that they have
a large capacity. to which they will add a
tremendous appetite for cargoes.
With the abandonment of gasoline and tire
rationing, truck operators also will be out for
business tc offset their slim pickings during
OPA's reign.
Because the competition after the war will
be keener than in any previous period the
rail lines would appear to stand their best
chance of profitable operation through quick
rate revision.
