|Byrnes Will Not Quit,
Truman Reiferates

President Truman is on record
with the emphatic statement that
Secretary Of State Byrnes has no
intention of resigning, and that
there is no rift between him and
Mr.. Byrnes.
Further, the President told his
news conference yesterday he hopes
there never will be a rift.
The President brought up the
subject of his own accord, his dis
claimer following an earlier denial
of published reports that Mr.
Byrnes would be succeeded by Gen.
George C. Marshall, now special
envoy to China.
A reporter suggested that the
reports didn't come from "spon-
taneous combustion"-that some
one wanted to get them out.
They either come from spon-
taneous combustion or because
some one wants to tell big lie,
the President responded.

McNuf Sees Economic
Assistance Essential
To Save Philippines

Congressional leaders today had
before them a plea from Paul v.
McNutt, high commissioner of
the Philippine Commonwealth, for
prompt economic assistance to the
war-ravaged islands to erase what
he termed "a black mark on our
record in the Orient"
Speaking at a National Press Club
luncheon yesterday, Mr.. McNutt
said:
"A great and heroic people Is
held fast in the quicksands Of con-
fusion largely because we have been
unable to deliver on our obligations"
Democracy con Trial"
When the Philippines achieve in
dependence July 4, democracy will
be on trial in the Orient" he de-
clafed. The Philippines provide fo.
greater opportunity to further
democratic principles than gestures
IN the Balkans and protests In the
Near East, desirable though they
may be-" Mr.. McNutt contended.
Specifically, he called for prompt
passage OF pending legislation pro-
viding up to 100000 900 in war
damage payments and giving eight
years exemption from this country's
tariffs to the new Filipino nation
and 20 years of diminishing trade
concessions thereafter.
The Philippines today are plagued
by lack of capital, and rehabilitation
by American interests has been de-
layed pending action on the legis-
lation, he said.
Look to United States Aid.
"It is my great wonder that the
Filipino people hold so firmly to
democracy today" the high COM
missioner commented.
While "awkwardly inspecting all
sorts of theological panaceas," they
continue to look to the United States
for assistance, Mr.. McNutt said.
He submitted to questioning by
club members after his prepared ad-
dress, and, in answer to one query,
said he did not believe the Philip
pines would be able to produce sugar,
for export for three years.
Vernon L. Clark, national director
of the United States Savings Bonds
Division of the Treasury Depart
ment, presented Mr.. McNutt with q
scroll bearing signatures of thou
sands of Washingtonians who
bought extra bonds during the
Fourth War Loan drive in tribute
to the victims of the Bataan march
of DEATH
The scroll will be taken to the
Philippines.

Stewart Bill
10 Prevent Hannegan
Retaining Two Posts
BY the Assoeiassd Press

Legislation which would force
Postmaster General Hannegan tc
resign as Democratic National Com
mittee chairman or give up his cab.
met post was offered today by Sena-
tor Stewart, Democrat, Of Tennes-
see.
His bill would prohibit heads OF
Government departments or agencies
from acting as officers of political
parties. It would become effective
80 days after enactment.
Senator Stewart issued a state
ment which made no mention OF
Mr.. Hannegan, but said his bill was
aimed to correct "a questionable
practice for many years-at least
one that has caused considerable
criticism"
Asked whether he knew of any
Government officials other than
Mr.. Hannegan who would be affect
ed, the Senator replied that he did
not care to amplify his statement.
Democratic leaders In Tennessee
long have been feuding with Mr.,
Hannegan.
During the recent Senate fill
buster on the Fair Employment
Practices Commission bill, Senator
Stewart suggested the Democratic
Party would be better off if Mr..
Hannegan resigned as national
chairman.
Edward H. Crump, Memphis, long
a power in Tennessee Democratic
politics. also called for Mr.. Hanne-
gan's resignation during the Senate
controversy over the nomination of
Edwin w. Pauley to be Undersecre-
tary of the Navy.
One Southern Senator, asking not
to be quoted by name, predicted to
reporters that Stewart won't get
far with his bill"
This Senator said he understood
Senator Stewart, Mr.. Crump and
Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee had been angry at Mr..
Hannegan ever since President
Truman nominated David Lilien-
thai last spring for another term as
director Of the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. He said the Tennesseans
considered that Mr.. Hannegan had
influenced the President on the ap-
pointment.

Truman S Hands or
State Politics Policy
Puzzles Capitol Hill
by shs Assoeiossd Press

Capitol Hill Democrats wondered
today whether President Truman's
assertion that he doesn't intend to
take part in New York politics car
ries down the line to other States
Except his own Missouri.
Some murmered audibly that with
the November election breezes blow
ing, Mr.. Truman may find it diff
cult to keep the presidential coat
tails out Of reach of State and con-
|gressional candidates.
The President told his news con-
ference yesterday he hasn't any idea
of taking part in the selection OF
Ia Democratic candidate for Gov
|ernor in the Empire State.
Knows Little About State"
He didn't know much about New
York politics, Mr.. Truman said, add
ing that If the reporters wanted to
talk about Missouri.
Well. said a reporter, how about
the mayoralty race in Kansas City!
Oh, the President replied, he
didn't vote in Kansas City. But
Independence (his home town, now
that was a different matter.
Well. a reporter asked how about
the mayoralty race there?
Right at home at this point
Mr.. Truman said he was for re-
election of the incumbent, Roger
T. Sermon. That's right, he's a
Democrat. He said. too, In response
to another question, that he would
support Senator Briggs, Democrat
of Missouri for reelection.
Sidesteps on Mead.
With a newly polished facility
Mr.. Truman sidestepped questions
about the political future of Senate,
Mead, New York Democrat. Sena-
tor Mead has been mentioned as
a possible opponent if Gov. Dewey
again is the Republican nominee.
A newsman recalled a presidential
letter this week in which Senator
Mcfarland, Democrat, of Arizona
was told he was too valuable tc
the Senate to be appointed district
judge. Did that apply to Senator
Mead, too?
Well, Mr.. Truman grinned, he
often said he thinks it better for q
Senator with experience to remain
in the Senate. He was in the Sem
ate himself for 10 years, he recalled
Reporters waited, but he didn't
go on.
Talked No Politics.
No, he said in response to another
question, he hadn't talked politics
with Senator Mead when the latter
came to see him this week.
A reporter wondered whether there
had been any { K about former
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman as Sen
ate candidate should Senator Mead
run for Governor.
No discussion, the President re-
piled.
Was Senator Wagner of New York
going to resign was the next ques-
ton.
Better ask Senator Wagner about
that, the President said with a
shake of his head. Friends said
later that Senator Wagner, in Flor
ida recuperating from a recent ILL
ness, has no intention of resigning. (,
That was all in the political line
and reporters went away to add up
what they hadn't found out.

Truman Would Approve
Doylight Saving Bill

President Truman told reporters
yesterday that if Congress again
called for national daylight saving
time he would support it.
A reporter wanted to know If he
would support daylight saving as
an aid to the food situation, ap-
parently on the theory that the
general public might have more
time for after-hours home gar
dening.
The President said he would not
support a piecemeal return to day
light saving but would support it
if applied nationally and was ap-
proved by Congress.

Goering Was Cheaiet
In Art Deals, He Says
In Denial Of Lootinq
BY the Assoeioted Press

NUREMBERG, Mar. l5.-An
angry Hermann Goering denied
to the International Military
Tribunal today that he was a
looter of Europe's art galleries,
declaring that he paid for all he
received and was cheated" in
many Of the deals.
Sadly he testified that Hitler
made him prodsEs ,pho geographic
copies of all co1ifiscated Ars objects
whose Jewish owners had fed. Hitler
took first choice for the museum
he planned at Linz, he said, and
left Goering only seconds"
Although the former Reichsmar-
shall has freely admitted many
prosecution statements concerning
his part in Nazi Germanys aggres-
sions, he showed indignation at
French charges of his part in the
rifling of Europe's art treasures, and
went into great detail to explain his
actions.
He claimed that he planned to
make reparation for all art objects
by establishing benefit fund for
families of Frenchmen killed in the
war, but he admitted this had never
been done.
Prices boosted 50 to- 100 Per Cent.
Referring to his dealings in the
open market in France, Italy and
other places, he said IT was cheated.
AS soon as it was known / was in
terested so and 100 per cent were
added to the price"
A large part of the morning was
taken up with a legal argument on
international law concerning re-
prisals when Goering attempted to
explain how the actions of partisans,
guerrillas and underground fighters
on German soldiers provoked overt
acts in many cases.
"I do not wish to dispute in
any way the prosecution contention
that things took place that violated
international law or that were in
every way excessive" he said.
American Chief Prosecutor Robert
H. jackson sought limits on this
line of evidence, but the court
ordered all testimony to be taken
with the proviso that final decision
will be made later on the legal
aspect of the reprisal doctrine.
Goering explained the 1910 in
vasion of the low countries was
due to the French general staff
receiving Belgian permission to oc-
cupy that country and because the
Netherlands could not maintain
neutrality against British pressure.
Third Day by Witness.
In his third day as a witness Goer-
ing said neutrality of Holland and
Belgium was always in doubt, since
most flights by war planes from
England against Germany crossed
over the two countries"
when France fell we found in
formation that (Gen. Maurice Gus
tave) Gamelin and (Admiral Jean
Darlan French Army and Navy
leaders, had demanded the occupa-
tion. of Belgium for the safety of
France" Goering said.
He repeated the Nazi claim that
documents found in France showed
that Belgium had agreed with
France to set up fortifications along
the Mas River.
