Truman on Way Home
Is Greatly Relaxed
Despite Rough Seas

New England and Bermuda, is re-

parently was a good sailor in the
unusually heavy seas that pounded
the Williamsburg today.
His announced weight of 172
pounds became something of an
issue aboard the U. S. S. Weiss
carrying newspapermen a quarter
of mile astern the presidential
ship.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
quoted Col. Wallace Graham, the
Presidents personal physician, by
iradiophone from the Williamsburg
as both ships played hide-and- seek
with 25-foot waves. He reported
that Mr.. Truman had lost seven
pounds on the trip and was down
to good weight of 172."
Cruise Is Great Tonic
Some reporters aboard the rolling
Weiss insisted that the President
lost the seven pounds before leav-
ing Washington. No matter where
the poundage disappeared, Col
Graham announced that the cruise
has been "a great tonic" for the
President and that a regular diet
and a routine of swimming, sun
bathing and lot of walking enabled
him to hold the line.
The diet. Mr.. Ross explained, was
nothing more rigorous" than alb
staining from cream soups, heavy
pastry and gravy.

morning and again whenever the
sun appeared during the day despite

Text of Truman Statement
The tert OF statement by
President Truman on Labor Day,
as issued at the White House..

The tert OF a statement bv
PRESIDENT Truman on Labor Day,
as issued at the White House:
This Labor Day is one of great
Importance. We can look into the
future today with confidence, but
not with tranquility.
We still have big job to do, and
long way to go, to assure the do
nestle prosperity and international
understanding necessary to prevent
depreSsions and war. But we can
do it if we keep in our minds con-
stantly that people are our most
important asset. We must utilize
them and conserve them.
The largest part of reconversion
has been accomplished, and much
of the credit for the job done goes
to the workers of this great union
of states and free people.
Labor Day is day set aside for
labor by Act of Congress; day to
review the accomplishments of work.
ing men and women and to re-state
the aims and ambitions and needs
Of all those who work with their
hands and minds.
Since last Labor Day. these men
and women have brought produc-
ton to new peacetime highs. Their
work has produced a flood of goods
to meet the needs of the people who
did without many essentials and
most comforts during the war years.
These consumers have upheld price
and rent controls during the diff
cult postwar period of infationary
pressure, and at the same time, as
industrial and farm and home WORK
ers, they have supported their stand
with record production.
AS nation of working people,
we can maintain and increase the
large production and nearly full
employment which we have attained

if we carry on together as we did
during wartime.
Labor, management and farmers
with the help of Government wher-
ever it could be useful, have made
this great start toward peacetime
readjustment. If we continue to
cooperate, to work, and to pro-
duce, We can attain a richness OF
life that will be credit and bene-
fit to all of us now living, and a
real hope and promise to those who
come after us.
We must retain the safeguards
against exploitation which labor won
after the last depression. Labor must
continue to have the opportunity
through free collective bargaining
and free political action, to i'm
prove the lot of workers and to in
crease their participation in public
affairs.
Labor, perhaps more than any
other group, has consistently sup
ported the detectives set forth in
Franklin D. Roosevelts memorable
economic bill of rights" We must
now move forward to full achieve
ment of those detectives: Useful
and remunerative jobs for all; in
comes high enough to provide ade-
quate food, clothing and recreation
freedom from unfair competition
and domination by monopoly; ade-
quate health protection; more ef-
fective social security measures; ano
educational opportunity for all.
Labor. too, has been in the fore
front of the battle to end intoler-
ance and wipe out bigotries of race
creed and color.
I salute the hosts of labor fol-
their magnificent job in wartime
and in the beginnings of peace, and
urge them on to further efforts in
behalf of the rights and dignity OF
mankind

Freedmen S Reports
10 New Baby Victims
In Diarrhea Epidemic

Ten new cases of diarrhea were
reported among infants at Freed
mems Hospital last night, bringing
the total number now in isolation
wards to 80, two of whom are crit
ically i'll.
With the new and unexpected
spread of the disease-already fatal
to two babies-only 10 babies at
the hospital remain unaffected.
Hospital staff members pointed
to the fresh outbreak as an irrefu-
table argument that more nurses
and beds are needed to relieve
crowded conditions.
While Freedman's attaches bat
tied to halt the epidemic, other Dis
trict hospitals also overcroWded
watched closely for similar out
break which United States Public
Health authorities said might occur
at any time.
Freedman's had no immediate
prospects for augmenting an made
quate nursing staff. DR.. Arthur
Simmons, administrative medical
officer, said there was no provision
in the hospitals budget, regulated
by Congress, to hire more than the
88 nurses now on the staff.
Of these 88 nurses, 20 are assigned
to maternity cases. Although the
hospital considers 20 nurses a large
proportion of those available, A
nurses actually are the minimum
requirement to handle the normal
load of 102 maternity cases a month,
DR.. Simmons said.
And last month there were 2O4
babies born in Freedmen's," he said.
This month 2l5 have been born,
the largest number the hospital has
ever had"
Under present conditions, it is
necessary for the available nurses
to double in the various wards, 60
ing from sick babies to normal ones,
and thus unavoidably contributing
to spread of disease, DR.. Simmons
said.
A call for volunteer nurses and
nurses aides made yesterday r. the
District Health Department brought
no results. The only chance Freed
mems has for achievements was
the Public Health Services attempt
to divert a few of its nurses sta
toned in New York.
No new maternity patients have
been admitted to Freedmens since
the epidemic began. Two mothers
remain to be delivered. The hos
pital is seeking to release the moth
ers and infants as soon as possible,
with maximum of five days care
where feasible.
Reporting no cases at other hos
pitfalls, DR.. Ella Oppenheimer, chief
of the Health Departments division
OF maternity and child welfare, said
Freedmen's maternity ward eventu-
ally would be emptied and cleaned
and painted up" before new cases
are admitted.

The Trials and History
From the Manchester Guardian.

Certainly we here have found the
long recitals of enormity tedious and
revolving. At times. too, defending

should show. for they are charged with
the defense of human lives) have need

suppose that our careful investigations
are unnecessary, to imagine that popu-

Justice was done We must show
the same care at Nuremberg, all the
more so because the assumptions be-

Inc Iranlan government, however, had
had no opportunity to make a report
on the progress OF the negotiations with
Russia. Its representative was in the
council chamber, ready to make such a
report; ready to give the Iranian views
on the proposed postponement of the
case
The report made by Hussein Ala on
oehalf OF Iran on the progress of nego-
tlatlons With Russia and his statement
OF the reasons he opposed the postpone
ment asked by Russia did not run on all
Iours with the report made by Mr..
Gromyko. He stated fatty that no
agreement or understanding had been
reached. He further exposed the fact
mat the Soviet government had made
series OF proposals" to the Iranian
government. The price of the with
oraWal OF Soviet troops from Iran-a
WlthoraWal which had been pledged in
treaty entered into by Russia, Britain
and Iran in 1942-was the acceptance
OF these proposals.
Ihese proposals, one of which would
nave violated the treaty, since it pro-
posed that Soviet troops would remain
In some parts of Iran for an indefinite
period, would seriously interfere with the
internal affairs of Iran Another of the
proposals called for the recognition of
autonomy of Azerbaijan.
The third proposal, which NAV be the
kernel of the nut which Russia has been
trying to crack, called for the creation
OF an 1ranian-Russian joint stock COM
pany-an oil company-with 81 per cent
OF the stock owned by the Soviet and
49 per cent by Iran.
These proposals, coupled with the in
sistence OF the Soviet government it
would not withdraw its troops unless
they were accepted, seems to be clear
expose OF the manner in which the
Soviet government uses its power to
gain its objectives.
Presumably, the demand by Russia
first, that the meeting of the Security
Council be postponed until April 10, and
then that the Iranian case be postponed
by the Council until that date, was made
IN order that an agreement containing
these proposals could be wrung from
Ivan prior to that date; that an agree
ment would be an accomplished fact and
that there would be no further case to
be heard by the Council.
The United States, cognizant of the
situation in Iran, made the issue with
Russia in the Security Council.

Rotioninq and Fomine

To the extent that such move
apparently would be of no help in
meeting the immediate crisis, Presi-
dent Truman's Famine Emergency
Committee argues cogently against
proposals for return to food ration
ing in America at this time. AS
Chester C. Davis, chairman of the
committee, has just declared, the
critical period will be the four months
between now and the next harvest in
July, and since it would take that
long to print and distribute ration
books and re-establish similar con-
troll measures, the present urgent
situation simply cannot be eased by
following a. course of that sort.
In the circumstances, it seems
plain enough that the emergency
can. be met only by voluntary action
and by the promptest and most
vigorous steps through the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration. As former President

Mr.. Reuther's Victory

About the only thing that can
safely be said of the election OF the
highly articulate Walter P. Reuther
to the presidency of the CIO United
Automobile Workers is that the sig
nificance of the change of leadership
will be revealed by the unfolding
of events.
The UAW is the biggest union in
the world, and to an extent greater
than in any other major union it is
torn by factionalism, fanaticism and
union politics. Mr. Reuther has been
pretty much of a lone wolf among
the top UAW leaders, and during
his campaign for the presidency he
disclosed very, little of his plans for
the future. When Philip Murray
addressed the convention Tuesday
he made 1t rather obvious that he
preferred r. J. Thomas, the defeated
incumbent, to Mr.. Reuther. And
the Communists in the union, as
well as the Communist paper, the
Daily Worker. bitterly opposed the
Reuther candidacy, not because Mr..
Thomas is Communist sympathiz-
er but, presumably, because they
thought he would be easier to handle
than Mr.. Reuther. What this may
mean is any ones guess. Mr.. Muir
ray certainly is not Communist
or fellow traveller, yet this union
election found him leaning toward
the candidate the Communists were
vociferously supporting. Perhaps,
now that the voting is over, both
the Thomas faction and the Com
munists will make peace with the
new president. If not, there is more
than a little chance that Mr.. Reu-
ther, who is man of action if
nothing else, will try to take COM
mand of the CIO or take his auto
workers elsewhere.
Equally uncertain are the eco
nonlic policies he will espouse. In
the beginning of the General Mo-
tors strike he made quite splurge
with his ability -to-pay" theory and

The Political Mill.
By Gould Lincoln

NEW YORK, Mar. 28.-The Security
Council OF the United Nations struck a
blow for the rights Of small nations
when 1t voted to hear the Iranian Am
bassador, HuSsein Ala, on the Soviet
governments proposal to postpone con-
sideration of the Iranian complaint
against Russia until April 10.
The situation that confronted the
Council when that vote was taken was
serious in the extreme. Russia's rep
resentative, Ambassador Andrei A.
Gromyko, had fatty told his colleagues
in the Council that If the Iranian was
invited to make statement to the
Council prior to April 10, he and his
government would not participate in the
meetings of the Council-in other words,
he would walk out, with all the implica-
tions his withdrawal would hold.
When April 10 rolled around, there
would have been nothing to prevent Rus
sia's further demand that the Iranian
case be postponed until October 10, or
until next year-and another threat to
walk out might have been held over the
head OF the Council if the postponement
were not granted. In other words, a
great power would always be in position
to block Indefinitely the hearing of
small, complaining member of the
United Nations.
The Security Council met the test
and took the only course possible under
the letter and spirit of the United Ma
tions Charter. The Charter clearly
states that complaining nation has a
right to be heard-on invitation of the
Council-and also that any nation
member having a special interest in
the cause to be heard may be invited
to sit with the Council, though without
vote. This was the procedure which
had been followed during the London
meetings of the Security Council
when the Iranian, Grecian and Indo-
nesian cases, with that of Syria and
Lebanon, were up for consideration.
Mr.. Gromyko, representing Russia,
which was party to the dispute with
Iran, gave as his reasons for asking
postponement Of the discussion of the
complaint the reported facts that.
through direct negotiations with Iran,
an understanding" had been reached
and that the withdrawal of Russian
troops from Iranian territory had be-
gun and would be completed within five
or six weeks If Unforeseen circum-
stances" did not prevent.
This was his report to the Council.
