 ARMS LIMITS
Byrnes Links Policy win Military Cooperation
 Among Americas

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secre tary of State Byrnes told Congres i Ccday that the United States i going to work for limitation O. arms among the nations of tht world.
 Byrnes enunciated this policy il testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
 He said details have not beer worked out.
 We desire to see the world free from the fears and burdens which unnecessarily large armed forces would impose on the peoples of the world Byrnes declared.
 Military Cooperation
 He made the statement, without further elaboration, after urging Congressional approval of legisla- tion providing for broad program of military cooperation" with oth- tI Aiil6IlCdIl nations.
 As he went before the Committee. American officials looked to Mos COW for Russian reaction to Byrnes' cenial yesterday of Foreign Min ister Molotov's charges against him and the United States growing out Of the Foreign Ministers conference in Paris.
 ByrneS' denial raised the ques ticn: what will be it's effect on Russo-American relations, already strained, and on chances for early peace in Europe?
 Permits Arms Transfer
 The military cooperation" pro- gram which Byrnes endorsed be- fore the House Committee was con- tained in a bill proposed to Con- gress May 6 by President Truman. It would permit transfer of arms to the other American republics.
 It also would authorize the Unit ed States to help train military and naval personnel in those countries and to help repair their equipment.
 Molotov had contended Monday that, at the recent Paris meeting of Foreign Ministers, a British-Am- srican bloc waged an offensive against the Soviet Union"
 No Direct Accusation
 Byrnes, at a 40-minute news con- 'erence, refreined from accusing Russia directly of acting in bad 'aith.
 But, reading directly from the 'tenographic record of Internation- Il conferences at London, Moscow, md Paris, he made these main points:
 There is no British American bloc" against Russia.
 Generalissimo Stalin agreed at Moscow last December to support he American plan for a big four reaty to keep Germany disarmed or 25 years.
 Molotov at Paris May 16 ack- that Stalin had agreed 0 the treaty idea. (Molotov denied his Monday.
 Russia backed out of a plan to mich Molotov had agreed earlier or a thorough investigation, in all !

Health Insurance Law Seen
In COP. Drive in Congress
BY the Associoied Press

Senator Smith, Republican, OF
New Jersey today predicted a Re-
publican drive to enact a national
health insurance law early in the
new Congress.
Senator Smith said the plan would
feature voluntary participation, with
each State left to work out its own
insurance program for hospital ana
medical care. Federal aid from a
5000 900 900 fund would be made
available principally to help low in
come groups.
Noting that the proposal differs
sharply from the administration
backed compulsory insurance plan
which failed in the last session,
Senator Smith told reporter the
Republican bill probably will draw
opposition of "those who want over
all Federal control"
I'VE want to give the greatest
measure of freedom to the States
in setting up their health insurance
plans" the Senator declared. I'VE
want to get away from the idea that
some bureaucrat here can say to
the State. Follow my instructions
or you don't get any money.
Hence, Senator Smith said. the
measure will provide for council
to which a State can appeal any dis
pute over the proposed grants-in-
aid. These would be on the basis OF
So in Federal funds for every 81
put up by the States.
Senator Smith is member OF the
committee assigned to report on a
health program for the Senate Re-
publican membership.

Senator Taft said he plans to
split off and introduce separately
the public housing section OF the
Wagner -Ellender- Taft bill which
was shelved by the outgoing Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress.
The bill, which Senator Taft and
two Democratic Senators sponsored,
was a sweeping measure providing
for housing research, permanent
national housing agency, liberal
loan and investment arrangements
and other construction incentives.
Many of its features were opposed
by real estate organizations. The
bill passed the Senate, but found a
pigeon hole in the House.

Senator Taft said the Republicans
will press for revival of long-term

He disclosed that while the pro-

Third-Party Prospect
Rises in New Group
With Wallace BACKING
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The pos
sibility of a third party on the
American political scene was
raised today in the wake OF
speeches by Henry A. Wallace
and others at a meeting called
to organize a new political &C
ton group, the Progressive Citi-
zens of America.
Formation of the new organiza-
ton was voted yesterday by 300 dele
gates from 81 States, representing
10 groups with claimed member
ship of $4,000. Included were the
National Citizens Political Action
Committee, the Independent Citi-
zens' Committee of the Arts, Sci
ences and Professions and eight
smaller groups.
Mr.. Wallace. who was not elected
to any position by the delegates.
attacked the records of both major
parties and asserted:
"Progressives want genuine
two-party country and not a coun-
try operated by a fake one-party
system under the guise Of bipar-
tisan bloc"
The former Commerce Secretary
asked for a clear definition of po-
litical issues and said he would pre-
fer "the election of an out-and-out
reactionary like Taft (Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio in 1948 to a
lukewarm liberal"
Mr.. Wallace said "reactionaries"
had made it difficult by legislation
for third party to get on the bal
lot, but added that progressives
mean to have a two-party system
''one way or another"
He contended that rs per cent of
the American people would support
the progressive viewpoint if I'VE go
all out to get it over to them" He
said appeals should be made in the
language of the Declaration of In
dependence, Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address and the Bible.
Third Party Statement Voted.
The convention adopted by a
unanimous vote a statement de-
claring it could not rule out the
possibility of new political party
whose fidelity to our goals can be
relied upon"
Frank Kingdom, former president
of the NCPAC, and 10 Davidson,
former chairman of the ICCASP,
were chosen co-chairmen of the
new group. Vice chairnen named
were Fiorello H. La Guardia, former
Mayor of New York; Philip Murray,
president of the CIO; Paul Robson,
singer; Alexander F. Whitney, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Railway

U. S. to Bypass Red Censorship
With Broadcast Starting Jan. IS

The timing OF the start OF the
sian-language broadcasts has
been determined chiefly by the COM
pletion of the new Munich relay
station which replaces the former
Reichpost radio station there.
The station, which includes three
85, ,000-watt transmitters, was opened
December IS as a unit in the world
circling "Voice of the United States
of America" network. Programs
originating at State Department
radio Offices in New York are re-
layed daily through Munich from II

casting in Russian for about year.
According to information here they
have had no adverse reaction from

BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-The Allied
Control Council today published a
sweeping new law for Germany
prohibiting the manufacture, i'm
port and possession Of all war ma
terials-from atom bombs to dag
gers and kites.
The prohibitions are contained in
Control COZ IL Law No. 43. 1t in
cludes ma ~ provisions for de-
militarization of Germany which
were previously executed by the
four occupation zone commanders
in the form of proclamations and
directives.
The law requires that Germans
declare to the Allies any still-exist-
ing war stocks, which are to be de-
stroyed or converted to essential
peacetime uses. 1t provides penal
ties of imprisonment and, in serious
cases, death for violations.
Dispensations may be made for
peacetime requirements-such as
arms and ammunition for police,
explosives for demolition work and
cryptographic machines for author
lied internal security services.
Outlawed for Germans are "all
weapons including atomic means OF
warfare or apparatus of all caliber
and natures capable of projecting
lethal or destructive projectiles,
liquids and gases" This section also

kefauyer Demands
Action by Congress

BY the Assoeiossd Press

Representative Kefauver, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee demanded today
that Congress act to halt the march
of monopolies."
Chairman of a House Small Busi-
ness Subcommittee that has been
studying the subject of industrial
concentration, Mr.. Kefauver based
his demand on a report by commit
tee Investigators holding that Gov
ernment trust-busting activities to
date bear the imprint Of failure"
The report, which Mr.. Kefauver
acknowledged does not represent the
views of the subcommittee "as a
whole" made these observations:
/. Some Government agencies
combat concentration of economic
power in the hands of a few; others
foster policies which actually pro-
mote it."
2. Congress should strengthen
antitrust laws, making all segments
of the economy - including labor
unions and insurance companies
subject to a unified policy designed
to prevent concentration and re-
strictive practices"
8. Existing laws should be tight
ened to forbid merger and acquisi-
tions designed to dominate smaller
firms.
4. Penalties for antitrust law
violations should be stiffened.
S. Small firms should be given
priority in the purchase of surplus
war plants.
The subcommittee seven-man
staff of investigators contended that
the trend" toward concentration of
economic. power in the hands OF a
few could lead only to ultimate
Government regulation of "our eco
nomic life"
The report was made public over
the objections of two of its mem
bers, Representatives Leonard Hall,

BY the Assoeictsd Press

State Department plans for an
information program designed to by
pass Soviet censorship and go di-
rectly to the people were advanced
a step today with the setting of
January IS as the date for the be-
ginning of broadcasts in Russian
over the official radio voice of the
United States.
A policy has been worked out to
deliver to Russia-with the aid OF a
powerful new relay station at
Munich, Germany-a sustained pro-
gram of news, music and discussions
on cultural subjects. 1t Is designed
from the outset to be so fair and
factual that it will give the Soviet
government no cause for offense. If
the undertaking succeeds politically,
as State Department officials appear
confident it will, some controversial
issues may be introduced later
through the technique of broadcast
debates supposed to present the
merits of both sides fairly.
