Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio today reiterated his oppo-
sition to a universal military
training system for the United
States, coming into direct con-
f1ict on this issue with Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York,
who recently came out strongly
in support of the training pro-
gram in an address before the
American Legion.
The Senator, who paused in Chi
cago today on his way to Cali
fornia, said he intended to make
a speech dealing particularly with
the military setup he believes should
be the policy of the United States
while on his "pulse-feeling" trip tc
the Far West he indicated he be-
lieves this country should maintain
regular Army of million mer
and should have another 100000 ir
the Navy.
This puts the two leading con-
tenders for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination next year ir
direct conflict on an issue that will
come before Congress at its next
session with the blessing of Presi-
dent Truman.

All in Greek Forces
Now Living Entirely
On American Rations
Feeding Responsibility
Taken Over Sept. ],
GriswoId Declares
BY me Associated Press

ATHENS, Sept. 9.-Dwight P.
Griswold, head of the American
aid mission to Greece, said today
the 1885, 900 men in Greece's Army,
Navy, air force and gendarmerie
are now being fed entirely by
American Army rations, alta cost
of about 100000 a day.
The responsibility for feeding the
Greek armed forces was taken over
from the British September /, he
said. The ration provides each SOL
der with $500 calories daily.
The Greek parliament, meanwhile,
was summoned for vote of con-
fidence on the newly formed Liberal
Populist government of Premier
Themistokles Sophoulis.
Mr.. Sophoulis told news con-
ference he expected that at least SO
per cent of the leftist guerrillas
fighting government forces would
surrender under the terms of his
proposal of an unconditional am
nesty, but he added that no dead
line had been set as yet. He said
guerrillas who feared repriSals would
be moved to new communities and
given jobs.
Opposition leaders made 1t known
that they would support the vote OF
confidence in the coalition cabinet,
but Spiro Markezini, leader of a
group of 10 Deputies who have
bolted from the Populists, said he
would agree only to a vote OF "tol-
erance."
Mr.. Sophoulis told Parliament last
night that he would invite an in
ternational commission to guar
antee execution" of an uncondi-
tional amnesty to guerrillas who
surrender "as soon as possible"
He announced today that the
United Nations would be asked to
send a commission to supervise exc
cutiol of the amnesty.
The 86-year- Liberal leader
said the amnesty offer was step to
end the costly warfare which has
been dragging on in the North, but
declared that if the revolt did not
end, he would call on the nation to
stamp it out" with all the meas
ures at it's control.

HAMBURG, Germany, Sept.
9.-British troops, using clubs
and fire hoses, emptied today the
last of three transports which
brought the Exodus 1947 Jews to
Germany.
Some kicking, screaming Jews,
their heads bloodied in 90 minutes
of lighting aboard, were carried
bodily from the transport, the Run
nymede Park, after a Shutdown strike
against landing.
An official British casualty re-
port said SO Jews, including Is wom-
en-, were injured and that 10 of
them we're hospitalized. An earlier
report said three British soldiers
were hospitalized with injuries.
Correspondents on the dockside
counted at least six Jewish men
with bleeding heads. About 20
others were borne down the gang

One Ship Peacefully Unloaded.
The violence attending the I'M
loading of the Runnymede Park con-
trasted with the peaceable debarka-

first of the transports, the Ocean
Vigour, was emptied, with some vio-
lence, yesterday.
Vans and trains left the Ham,
burg docks with the refugees for
displaced persons quarters in the
area nearby. Thus was completed
another phase in the odyssey which
began July 10, when the Jews be-

two ultimatums to leave peaceably.
When some 300 British troops

ton, armed with clubs and wearing
tear-gas goggles, many of the Jews
began to leave peacefully. But
others resisted bitterly.
The troops turned fire hoses on
the shouting and singing refugees
who resisted attempts to force them
up from the holds.
Clothing of Many Torn.
Jews who pressed against the
barred windows of the police vans
bringing them on the last leg of
this journey looked bruised and

the clothing of many was torn. The

bank as a source of stop gap"
financial assistance to Europe

Mr.. Garner told a news con-

it impossible to grant loans for

items most European countries
need during the next few
months.
Undersecretary of State Lovett
last week mentioned the World

nations before funds from the
Marshall plan are available.
'I think it probably is a mis-
take to think the bank can be
a stop gap in this situation"
