Democratic Failures
Intensity Peril From
Abroad Taft Charges
COP Control Of Congress
Forecast in Keynote
Talk at Stute Convention
BY the Associoted Pres,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. IL
Senator Taft told fellow Ohio
Republicans today that because
the Democratic administration
failed in its foreign policy" this
country is lin as much danger
from abroad as before the war"
Keynoting the party's State con-
vention, Senator Taft devoted ap-
proximately one-fifth of his address
to a critical review of international
affairs.
Domestically, he predicted the
election of Republican majorities in
both the Senate and House this fall
and said the COP will formulate a
program which President Truman
can approve or disapprove at his
peril"
In l949, We intend to put that
program into effect" added Senator
TAFT, twice a favorite-son presiden-
tial choice of Ohio Republicans and
all but openly running for the 1948
nomination.
Policy on Russia AssaiIed.
Declaring that Presidents Roose-
welt and Truman pursued a policy
OF appeasing Russia" the Senator
asserted that the result was to sac-
rihce the freedom of many nations
and millions of people" throughout
Eastern Europe and Asia. Further
ne said, it has strengthened the
communlstic philosophy of the all
powerful state in many other ma
tlons throughout the world"
At home, Senator Taft said "the
New Dealers have tried to teach
our people that communism is a
KIND of liberal democracy" while
abroad this country played direct
ly into the hands of Mr.. Stain and
helped create situation now almost
insoluble.
Only recently, the speaker con-
tlnued, has the administra ton taken
a firm position against Russia :"
He attributed the change largely to
the influence of Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan. now
IN Paris as an adviser to Secretary
OF State Byrnes at the Peace Con-
ference.
Senator Taft said there is no
reason why both parties should not
agree on foreign policy as long
as our policy is governed solely by
primary interest in the freedom
OF the American people, and peace
throughout the world to insure that
freedom
Republican Congress Urged.
But he added, the only way
to insure that result under condi-
ton of today is TO elect Republican
Congress.
Discussing the COP program,
Senator Taft said war controls must
go without delay.
BY April l 1947) the OPA and
price and wage control would be
completely abolished and rent con-
troll for not to exceed one more year

24-Hour General Strike Asked
By Seamen if Wage Plea Fails;
Truckers Told to Abide by Pacts
Decision on Ruise
Is Expected to Be
Revealed Today
By jones Y. Newton

While the Wage Sterilization
Board was meeting today to re-
consider its wage decision which
led to the Nationwide shipping
strike, the AFL Seamen'S Joint
Strike Committee in New York
announced it had telegraphed
C1O and AFL leaders asking for
national 24-hour work STOP
page if the Government board
rejects the unions wage de-
mands.
The siX-member board was meet
ing in executive session at the Labor
Department and received a formal
request from its AFL member. Wal
ter Mason, to reverse the August %
decision reducing pay increases
which AFL seamen and the indie
pendent Pacific Coast Marine Fire
mems Union had won from ship
owners.
The Strike Committees calls for
a general strike in event of an
unfavorable WSB ruling were ad-
dressed to AF'L President William
Green and Philip Murray, head of
the CIO. The messages also asked
the AFL ana CIO to withdraw their
representatives from WSB if re-
consideration of the wage case
should turn out to be against the
unions.
Idea Held "RidicuIous."
The Offices of both Mr.. Green and
Mr.. Murray SAID the kilograms had
not been received. Mr.. Murray was
en- route by automobile from Chi
cago to Pittsburgh.
While Mr.. Green withheld COM
ment pending receipt of the tele-
gram. an AFL spokesman-who last
Saturday termed ridiculous" the
idea Of a general strike-said that
comment still holds true.
A CIO spokesman said he believed
there was absolutely no chance" of
the CIO joining any general strike
He said Mr.. Murray's position from
the start has been that "CIO unions
should observe their contracts" End
ne has beer most emphatic on the
point with respect to the United
Steel Workers, which Mr. Murray
also heads.
On the subject of further partici-
patton in WSB, an AFL official told
newsmen Mr.. Green was polling the
Is members of his Executive Coun-
Gil on whether to Withdraw their
member from the board. AFL has
one of two labor members on the
tripartite panel.
Decision Possible Today.
Max Korenblatt, chairman of the
AFL seamen's strike committee, said
in New York that his group worked
until early morning discussing and
drafting the kilograms, which he
said were approved by John Hawk,
vice president of the Seafarers In
ternational Union, one of the two
AFL seamen groups involved in the
dispute.

Enemy, PorIey Told
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.
Stor Stoff Corresponden,

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE United
States spent about 20 billion dol
lars on war with Italy and will
claim no reparations against
that amount, Willard L. Thorp,
American delegate, told the Ital-
ian Economic Commission this
afternoon. He added, however,
that the United States does not
want to pay reparationS for its
ex-enemy.
Mr.. Thorp said that, according
to latest estimates, the total direct
war cost to this country was 335
billion dollars, or approXimately the
entire preWar national wealth.
These war-cost estimates do not
include interest on borrowed funds,
pensions and other budgetary ex-
penses, nor do they take into &C
count disturbances of the national
economy the United States repre-
sentative said.
Billion Poured Into Italy.
The pronouncement was inter-
| lected into series of statements
by countries claiming reparations
I from italy which have occupied the
commission for several days. Great
Britain already had presented a bill
for approximately II billion dollars
with the announcement that MOTH
! ing ike that sum would be sought
in reparations. Only Monday, how
ever, the British renounced all claim
to Italian reparations except Italian
assets in Britain.
| Mr.. Thorp made plain that far
from seeking reparations from Italy
the United States has poured more
than one billion dollars into that
country since the armistice in an
effort TO bolster the Italian civilian
economy. Under the circumstances"
he said, there would be little pur-
pose in our seeking reparation."
! The American added; But our
interest goes beyond the point of
remuneration. We ask in turn that
the burden of reparation should
not be transferred to us. We do
not wish our assistance to Italy
merely TO pass through Italy as a
temporary transfer point and go

OPA today raised the price
of consumer and bakers flour
or 2 cents for pounds, de-
pending on current prices in
different types of stores. The
agency said the increase is
temporary and amounts to 20
cents hundred pounds.
OPA prepared today to order
price increases on sugar and flour
as its enforcement chief an

beginning in retail stores, to
break the back of the meat

At the same time, OPA granted
an 18 per cent increase in prices
OF window glass and removed from
ceilings razor blades, baby carriages
fountain pens and more than 20
other commodities.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son said the sugar increase would be
announced in day or two. This
is an outgrowth of the recently
signed sugar agreement between the
United States and Cuba. Under
the contract, the price paid for
Cuban raw sugar must climb to
correspond with rises in living costs
in this country.
An OPA official told reporters the
flour price increase is in preparation
but refused to confirm or deny trade
reports that the advance will
amount to 20 cents per 100 pounds.

Anglo-U. 5. Raiders
Seize Millions in
Reich Gems, Metals
Diamonds, Gold, Silver
And Platinum Found in
367 Hiding Places
BY the Associofed Press

FRANKFURT, Sept. 11.-Sur-
prise raids throughout the Amer
lean and British occupation
zones of Germany have uncov-
cred millions of dollars worth of
precious stones and metals hid
den by the Nazis shortly before
Germany surrendered, United
States Army headquarters an
nounced today.
The diamonds, gold, silver and
platinum found in the raids were
dispersed in hiding places by the
Nazi government agency "Reichs-
stelle fuer Edelmetalle' (Reich
Agency for Precious Metals in an
attempt to keep them from falling
into Allied hands.
A spokesman for the United States
Army Intelligence Division said it
was "conjectural but conceivable
that the board might have been de-
signed to finance "a reSurgence OF
German nationalist movements.
About $2.500,000 worth OF precious
stones and metals were found in
less than fourth of the total
number of places raided, the spokes-
man said.
A total of 367 different places
were raided in the two zones, and
the $2500,000 yield came from the
first 79 places to tabulate results.
The Army spokesman said the
clue to the hiding places came from
the typically German detailed rec
ords of the Reich Agency for
Precious Metals" which were found
last June in Berlin.
Asked why the raids were confined
TO the British and American zones,
he said The only records we found
pertained to dispersals in those two
zones"
The joint operation throughout
the American and British zones and
their two sectors in Berlin was
supervised by British American
staff set up in a temporary head

ican zone and was dubbed Opera
