Clement Attlee might be called the Truman of the British political upheaval. Just as Truman got the Democratic nomination for vice. president as the result of bitter riv- airy between Byrnes and Wallace adherents, so Attlee became the titular head of the Labor party be- cause of the bitter rivalry between Ernest Bevin and Herbert Morrison.
 Just as Truman has Wallace and Byrnes in his cabinet, so Attlee is sure to name Bevin and Morrison for high posts in his new admins tration.
 While the bulk of the Labor party organization and much of its voting strength comes from the actual la boring class in recent years, there has always been considerable highbrow element which genuinely believes in socialist doctrines. Att lee is one of that category, being one of the few leaders who has enjoyed a university education.
 POPULAR CANDIDATE
 f1e WAS BTdOuaGeQ 1TOIu OxIOTQ university, taking class honors in modern history. Afterwards he was called to the bar in the famous h. ner Temple. Soon he became lec- turer on social science in the Lon don School of Economics. Entering politics, he chose to run in the Limehouse district of London's s crowded East End, a typical work ing class area, many of whose resi- dents are dock workers. Chosen in 1922 member :. of the House of Commons, he has been so popular with critical constituents that he has been reelected ever since. In addition he was elected to two terms as mayor of Stepney, a typi- cal working class borough of greater London.
 As speaker in the house of com- mons, Attlee had none of the pug nacity of Bevin nor the fire of Nor rison. Both men are great stump speakers, as are so many parlia- mentary labor leaders, having fought their way up in labor union politics.

Bv FRED SCHERFF

WaSnlngCOu, July 51-(OFI-DIAS' Gen. Elliott Roosevelt, second son of the late president, will doff his uniform Aug. IS and return to civilian status with the Armys thanks for his efficient" service.
 The date of his discharge was announced by the War Department last night in 8 statement denying any connection between his release and recent publicity over certain loans which he reportedly negotia- ted while his father was in the White House.
 The Department sad the 34-year- old officers application for dis charge, and the decision to grant 1t, were made before the loan con- troversy began.
 "No information reg&rding these matters was in the possession ot the War Department at the time the request was authorized" the statement emphasized.
 Roosevelt's financial affairs have been under Congressional study for several weeks as result of reports that he had negotiated several large loans which were later settled for fraction of the money involved. There have been published suggestions that top army officials advised him to quit as result of the publicity.
 According to the War Depart ment, however, Roosevelt filed his discharge application on May Il whereas the first public disclosure of his controversial loan operations was made June 23. It reportedly in- volved a $2OO,OOO loan which later was settled for $4,000.
 Before approving his release, the War Department ordered young Roosevelt to pass on to instructors at the Air Force Photographic school the experience he had gained as a commander of photo reconnais- sance units in the Mediterranean and European theaters.
 "These assignments were carried out" the department said, and Roosevelt's release will become ef- fective Aug. 15, the terminal date ot a 6O-day leave which he is now spending at the family's Hyde Park home.
 Application Studied The statement said the discharge application had been studied in the light of Roosevelt's Hong and ef- ficient service in the European the ater." It was granted upon deter imitation "that there was no re- quirement for his services in the Pacific which could not be filled by another available and qualified of- ficer."

Attlee is of medium height, balding, with a dark mustache touched with early gray.
