M orcuntonio Defies Grew

Washington, Feb. 9.-(UP)-Rep. Vito Marcantonio, American-Iabor- ite, N. Y, today challenged Acting Secretary of State Joseph c. Crews statement on the Italian armistice terms.
 T think the American people are entitled to a fortnight statement from the State Department on the Italian situation" Marcantonio said. ''Mr. Crews statement does not agree with the facts"
 The New York Congressman said he would introduce in the House to- day a resolution calling for recog- hilton of Italy as fully ally (she is now Q co-belligerenD making 1t possible for her to receive lend-lease aid.
 He questioned Crews assertion that the Armistice terms tdo no contain any provisions for future territorial settlements, and the declaration that the Allies are as- sisting Ital yin every way consis- tent with the prosecution of the war.
 Marcantonio today permitted himself to be identifie as the Con- .gressional source who said yesterday that the Italian armistice terms called upon Ital yto turn ovre Pan- terreria to Britain, give up her col- onies, and leave the door open to possible loss of the Adriatic Porte of Trieste.
 AS Q result of the first news dis patch on Marcontonto's assertions. Grew Issued @ statement which con- firmed that the Italian terms were stern and gave the Allies full pow CTS or all phases of Italian life. But 1t added that they did not contain any provisions with respect to fu- ture settlements.

Dewey Wants Bargain Set With StoIin
By LYLE c. WILSON

Washington, Feb. g - (U.PD - Governor Thomas E. Dewey's Lin- coin Day speech looked today Ike a warning to President Roosevelt to drive firm political bargain with Premier Josef V. Stalin. The alter native would be to risk 8 major for eign policy dispute with well organ ized Republicans.
 Dewey spoke here last night at the Statler Hotel before about 1,20O party leaders. He made a double barrelled attack on MT. Roosevelt's home and foreign policies. He en- dorSed the foreign policy program of Senator Arthur H. Vendenberg R., Mich, which is under such bit ter attack in the domestic Com- munist press.
 The reaction of congressional leaders in the audience generally was enthusiastic. For example. Sem ator Kenneth s. Wherry of Neb- raska, Republican whip. thought Dewey put the Roosevelt admins tration on notice Ito do Q better job in foreign relations.
 Dewey didn't get 8 100 per cent endorsement, however. Senator Ray mond Willis, R., Ind, was lukeWarm on the foreign policy part of DeWey's speech. He liked the discus sion of domestic affairs better.
 MT. Roosevelt's doubtless is aware now of Stalin's ideas on the Van denberg plan. He and the Soviet Union leader are in conference in the Black Sea area with Prime Min ister Winston Churchill.
 The Vandenberg proposal was in two parts:
 1. An immediate Anglo-Amer- ican-R Russian Chinese treaty to keep Germany and Japan permanently disarmed.
 2. Agreement now that political settlements in Europe made or be- ing made in various liberated coun- tries be subject to general review after the war.
 The Communist press interprets this latter provision as sabotage of the Teheran agreements reached in 1943 by MT. Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin In their first conference. Some others interpret it as & pre- caution against communication of a large part of Europe. The Com munist press says that is nonsense. If Dewey can make the Vandenberg plan stick as a formal Republican doctrine, 1t may be up to thePresi-

 The nations record of sixty Sui- cides every day, murder every forty minutes and Q major crime every twenty-two seconds.

Such appalling conditions threaten the existence of the church and nre a
 menace to democracy" pr. Clemens said.
