We|Ies Attacks U. 5. Policy
On Spain as Mistake
BY the Associoted Press

Sumner Welles, former Undersec-
retary of State, said last night he
believes United States policy toward
Spain is "as wholly mistaken as the
United States attitude in 1886, which
he called the cardinal error" of the
Roosevelt administration in foreign
affairs.
Mr.. Welles, in a broadcast over
Station VOL, said continuation of
the Franco government in Spain is
undeniably potential menace to
the peace of the world"
Criticizing United States opposi-
ton to French proposals to bring
the Spanish problem before the UNO
Security Council, the former State
Department official said
I'VE should hope that the prob
lem of Spain will be referred to the
Security Council as soon as it meets.
That is where it should have been
taken in the first place.
That" he said, lis the only way
the peace of the world can be safe
guarded from a new and far graver
peril which can now arise in Spain. -
Mr.. Welles said the wartime policy
toward Generalissimo Franco was
one of military necessity" which
he believed fully justified"
He declared the end of the war
changed the situation.

Gen. Gregory Takes Over Job
Of Selling Surplus Property
New War Assets Chief
Must Dispose Of
ID Billions in Goods

The man who bought most of the
civilian type of goods used in the
war today undertook the job of dis
posing of the surplus war goods in
this country.
He is 1t. Gen. Edmund B. Greg
ory, wartime quartermaster general
OF the Army. Today he was sworn
In as War Assets administrator by
Justice Douglas of the Supreme
Court.
Gen. Gregory held a press con-
ference Immediately after the cere-
mony. He said in answer to ques-
tions that he is the one-man boss
OF surplus disposal that his War
Assets Administration is completely
divorced from RFC; that it has no
connection with the sale of foreign
surplus and that his 33 regional
administrators would be given broad
authority to advertise the sale of
surplus property in newspapers and
other media.
War material originally costing
IA billions of dollars has been de-
clared surplus, according to WAA
statistics. Five billions of this is
unstable aircraft. Two billion dol
lars worth of the surplus has been
sold for 5000, 900 900 and 81 soc, 900 900
of the aircraft disposed Of.
The statistical estimate said that
IS billions of dollars (original cost
in war goods would be declared
surplus by June 80. but Gen. Gregory
said that was just guess. Amounts
of property that will be declared
surplus depend on congressional de-
termination of the size OF the Army

2. That the CLIO did nothing te

3. That Mr.. Murray was ''delin-

He said the 38-year-old leader of

"dupe" of AFL leaders in a move

the AFL.

industry would be restored by the
Senate to the pending legislation
and that the House, which earlier
this month eliminated these sec
tions, would follow the Senate.
He said dif1iculties experienced
with housing legislation to date was
due to a lack of understanding of
the program.
Mr.. Wyatt called for an accele-
rated program of apprentice train
ing in the building trades and
warned that the industry must not
be in the position of beating the
materials bottleneck only to find
itself faced with a manpower bot

IF t:se manufacturers who supply

ships are difficult and improbable

THE ability of our carrier task
forces to prevent penetration by
hostile aircraft may make atomic

The submarine may be expected
to have continued and increased

it is relatively immune to atomic
