In reply to the charges made
over this station a week ago today
by Mr.. Gus Hall, representative
of the Communist Association, a.
gainst the United Lithuanian Re-
lief Fund Clothing Drive, l wish
to state that the committee spon-
soring this drive is member Of
the Presidents War Relief Control
Board and National War Fund, and
as such represents the welfare work
being carried on for Lithuanians,
regardless of what part of the
world they may be in. Lthuanians
have been forced to flee to all
parts Of the world in order to es-
cape the ragaves of war.
The policy of the Presidents
War Relief Control Board is to al
low no more than one agency from
each national group to function and
to be a member of the Board.
Hence Mr.. Halls allusion TO another
Lithuanian relief agency is a sur
prise to us, unless he has reference
to the Communist group which is
using welfare work. to hide its
real political motives.
We agree with Mr.. Hall that our
drive received excellent support from
real Americans who place welfare
and humanitarian work above poll
tics. We are deeply grateful to our
newspapers, to the Cleveland Mo-
ton Picture Exhibitors, to many
radio stations, to the Block Plan
and to Governor Frank J. Lausche,
and to many men and institutions
which have contributed toward the
success of this drive. We appreciate
and shall never forget the support
of all men Of good will.
However, Mr.. Hall chooses to
condemn them. His assertion that
the Lithuanian Relief Committee
consists Of eX-ambassadors and re-
representatives. OF Fascist countries
Is typical Of Communist propagan-
'G. We can assure our listeners
tat every member OF the United
Lithuanian Relief Fund is an Amer
ican Of long standing. Most of
the members have participated in
World War / and have row sent
their sons to fight in World Wan

Likewise Mr.. Halls assertion
that the handbiIls of tie Relief
Committee were printed in a non
Union shop is false. The printing
was done by the Ohio Lithuanian
Publishing Company, a member O.

mitted his resignation, but the
President also is known to have told

would result In Government regi-
mentati0n after the war.
Mr.. Gearhart said he did not
blame the other countries for taking
steps to protect the products Of
their own industries, but I do
blame the United States for follow
ing q policy which other countries
ignore"
Earlier, the Californian and Mr..
Wallace disagreed as to the part
tariff rates played in the prosperity
in this country In the early 1920s.
Mr.. Gearhart pictured that as one
OF the most prosperous eras in
American history, but Mr.. Wallace
contended that in that period other
countries were able to buy Ameri-
can goods only as long as loans were
made from this country to pay for
the goods. When the loans stopped,
the crash came, Mr.. Wallace argued,
because the other countries were not
able to pay In goods.
BIames Tariff for Slump.
Insofar as there was failure. it
resulted from the tariff policy we
followed after the World War" said
the Secretary. That is what shut
us out of world markets after we
stopped loaning money abroad"
Mr.. Gearhart replied that, al
though denouncing the loans of that
era, the New Deal is now arranging
loans all over the world. and cited
the Breton Woods monetary agree
ment as one phase of that policy.
Mr.. Wallace recalled that he said
yesterday this country should go
that far.
The California Representative
also sought to show that If the flow
OF wealth in such forms as tourist
travel and money sent home by i'm
migrants Is counted instead of the
balance Of trade yardstick, the
United States in peacetime would
be debtor and not a creditor ma
ton.
Mr.. Wallace said he had seen that
statement made by a banking house.
but that figures Of his department
did not agree and that he has not
had time to check 1t.

Allies Extend Grip
On Pc After British
Push Into Ferrara
By the Associated Press.

ROME, April 24.-The 5th and
9th Armies spread out in strength
along the southern banks of the
Pc River today as a partial news
blackout covered the latest Al
lied gains In Northern Italy.
The 9th Army broke into the
outskirts of Ferrara last night after
plunging through disorganized and
fleeing German forces to that road
hub city 80 miles north and slightly
east of Bologna. The Ferrara air.
field was captured.
Official reports said the Nazis
were attempting to escape across
the Pc on RATS, in boats and by
other means"
The exact areas overrun in the
swift rush to the Po were withheld
from publication to prevent the
enemy from ascertaining where AL
lied spearheads had thrust across
the escape routes.
1000 Vehicles Damaged.
Allied warplanes have destroyed
or damaged at least 1000 enemy
vehicles in the Po Valley in the
last two days. Two-thirds OF this
total were credited to rocket
firing American Thunderbolts Of the
18th Air Force.
In the advance to the Ferrara
area, the 9th Army's tanks ran
wild through the fleeing Germans.
The tanks shot up many enemy
vehicles and 1000 prisoners were
taken up to midday yesterday In the
areas of Bondeno and Finale alone.
Both Bondeno and Finale lie west
Of Ferraro on the immediate ap-
proaches to the Pc.
An official report of this 9th Army
action said British flyers reported
big concentration of enemy trans
port in the area, but decided not to
attack when they saw it already was
surrounded by our tanks and was
already in the bag"
The British Army has rounded up
many prisoners in the area north of
Cento, l6 miles north Of Bologna.
Oficial reports said that after
crossing the Reno River in that
vicinity "our patrols found evidence
of great slaughter, with many
corpses of Germans and horses and
much enemy equipment scattered in
the area"
Resistance Slight.
Presumably this slaughter was the
result of air attacks of the past few
days.
American and South African units
Of the 5th Army moved up to the
Pc north and northwest of Bologna
on steadily broadening front
against only slight resistance. In
one sector, German counterattack
was repulsed and 300 prisoners
taken.
Along the Ligurian coast to the
west, 5th Army troops advanced
1000 yards toward La Spezia, cap
turing several towns, and there were
indications that enemy forces in
this area also were about to go into
fight northward.
The German air force made one
of its rare appearances Sunday
night, sending four or five planes
over the 5th Army area.
In contrast to that puny effort,
Allied warplanes yesterday few
more than 3,400 sorties.
The possibility, that the enemy
had massed antiaircraft guns
around the Po crossings was indi-,
Gated in official announcement that
% Allied planes were lost Yesterday.

Wallace Contention
That Low Tariff Bars
Isolation Challenged
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Representative Gearhart, Repub-
lican, OF California today challenged
the claim Of Secretary of Commerce
Wallace that failure to renew the
reciprocal trade program would be
step toward isolationism, as the
House Ways and Means Committee
continued hearings on broadening
and extension of the trade act.
When the hearing opened this
morning, Representative Knutson Of
Minnesota, ranking Republican
member of the committee, apologized
publicly to Secretary Wallace for a
remark he made yesterday rejecting
on Mr.. Wallace's intelligence. Mr..
Knutson explained that he feels so
keenly on the trade agreement SUBJ
ject that II allowed my zeal to get
the better of me-"
II understand completely and 1
accept the apology in the spirit in
which 1t is offered" Mr.. Wallace re-
piled.
Questioned Intelligence.
Mr.. Knutson had asked Mr.. WAL
lace II removing tariffs was COM
parable to dropping immigration re-
strictions, and when the Secretary
replied that the question was too
complicated to answer, Mr.. Knutson
said he would wait and put the
question to witness "of ordinary
intelligence"
Mr.. Gearhart told the Commerce
Secretary today that, despite the en-
actment Of the trade agreement law
in 1884, other nations have con-
tinued to erect barriers to protect
their industries and that "even If
we tried-which we have Motive
could never be as isolationist" as
European nations in looking after
their own trade affairs.
Mr.. Wallace replied that he used
the word isolation" to refer to
policy OF self lf-containment In trade"
rs there a nation in the world
which is not striving for a policy of
self-containment?" Mr.. Gearhart in
quired.
Many Could Not Survive.
Mr.. Wallace said he knew there
has been that trend In many ma
tions. but that there are about 40
small countries, some In Latin
America, that could not survive on
a self-contained basis.
The Secretary added a warning
that IF We accept that policy Of
self-containment, suggest 1t will
result in our@ interfering with many
kinds Of private enterprise" He re-
peated his statement Of yesterday
that II carried to its logical conclu-
sion, a self contained economy
