Reece Tells Hanneddn
Democrats Should End
Government Secrecy
By the Associated Press

Republican National Chairman
Reece enumerated his party's stand
on major issues today in an open
letter to Democratic Chairman
Hannegan, and then threw this
question at his political counterpart:
When will the administration be-
gin telling the truth to the Ameri-
can people about how their Gov
ernment is being operated?",
Shortly after his election as head
of the Republican National Commit
tee April Mr.. Reece was chal-
lenged by Mr.. Hannegan in an open
letter to give long overdue clari-
fication of your party's policies on
vital questions"
Cites December Declaration.
The Tennessean responded last
night by citing the declaration OF
party principles adopted last De-
cember by Republican members of
Congress and later Endorsed and
augmented by the partys National
Committee in Chicago and Wash
ington.
He then challenged Mr.. Hanne-
gan to tell the truth" about what
is being done in the foreign and
domestic field.
Mr.. Reece said that after the
Potsdam conference last summer
President Truman following the
practice of his predecessor, assured
the Nation no secret agreements of
any kind had been made during
that conference" Then the COP
chief quoted from the New York
Herald Tribune of october II, 1945
that Secretary of State Byrnes hao
acknowledged that Mr.. Truman
entered into a secret agreement at
Potsdam on revision of the Mon
treaux convention and said the
United States fully intends to keep
it's pledge to confer with Turkey on
the future status of the Darda-
nelleS"
Follows Secrecy Practice.
Thus. in this matter of making
secret agreements and then denying
their existence until the march OF
events forced disclosure of the
truth" Mr.. Reece said, "Mr. Truman
was apparently following the estab-
lished practice of the administra-
tion.'
Listing several secret agree
ments" which he said the late
President Roosevelt entered into at
Big Three conferences, the Tennes-
sean asked: What other secret
agreements have been made and re-
main for the future to disclose?"
In the domestic field, Mr.. Reece
quoted from a Cleveland Plain
Dealer editorial saying the admin
istration spread false predictions
about the level of unemployment
this year; it disseminated false
propaganda to the effect that wages
could be raised "a per cent without
increasing prices
Attacks Wallace.
The reference to false propa
ganda' with respect to the effects OF
wage increases relates, of course,

formance given by Henry A. Wal

lace. your collaboration in the cur
rent attempt to purge your party
of 'dissident Democrats
"You will recall, I am sure, how
this uble-dealing with the public,
If 1t did not actually precipitate
the General Motors strike, certain
ly had substantial effect in pro-
longing that strike and making it
more costly to both the employer
and the employees"
Mr.. Wallace recently said the "a
per cent statement was not an off,
cial estimate of his Commerce De-
partment, but was prepared by an
individual in developing statistical
methods and was mot intended as
official forecasts of costs, prices or
profits" for the auto industry.
Denies Urging Probe.
Mr.. Wallace also told Senators
yesterday that he never advocated
a purge" of party dissidents, as he
said he was quoted in some reports
of an informal speech March 18.
Rather. the cabinet officer asserted
he favors "self-discipline" and no
committee appointments for men,
bers who break party lines on major
issues.
To reporter later, Mr.. Wallace
said party leaders or caucuses in
Congress could not oust from the
party Senators and Representatives
who break ranks on major issues.
This, he said, is up to the party
organizations and voters in the
States.
Mr.. Wallace said he had not used
the word purge" in his March 18
speech as some headlines had it,
and disclosed he had opposed the
Roosevelt purge of 1888" He
added:
In the days ahead we will need
a sense of party responsibility and
1 tremble for the Nation unless we
have it."
