Truman Calls For Outside Help

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman, going part way with Re- publican Senator Vandenberg, called for outside help today in wei shing Americas foreign aid policy with this country's ability to pay.
 The Democratic chief executive designated 19 leaders of business, labor, agriculture, education and research as a ''non-partiSan" com- mittee to advise him on how much help can safely and wisely" be sent abroad.
 The implication was plain; that the United States may find it nec- essary to stem the flow of dollars, food, fuel and materials to war damaged nations
 The impact upon our domestic economy of such aid is of grave concern to every American said MT. Truman's announcement last n'''''t. and ''meritS most careful study"
 It was equally clear that the President was making final eff fort to prevent the bipartisan for eign policy from piling up in the veto-strewn wreckage of his do- mestic legislative program.
 MT. Truman took the words safely and wisely" from the call Vandenberg sounded 10 days ago for council of Democrats and Re- p''1licans to help set the limits within which this government can plan its economic help to foreign nations.
 But whether Vandenberg, chair man of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee, and his Republi- can colleagues will be satisfied re- mained to be seen.

Truman And Taft Give BrOadcasts

WASHINGTON, R-Presidenf Truman and Senator Taft tR.- Ohio) laid before the nation in ' nal round radio debates Fridsy night their blistering argumant2 for and against enacting the Taft Hartley union control bill into law. st
 While the Senate was warmjNT up for rare and angry all-night session, MT. Truman took to the radio with follow-up to his vet message, overridden by the House.
 Calling the bill shocking" the President said it would increase industrial strife, and sow "seeds of discord' that would impair the country's unity and strength.
 He declared the measure was loaded" and filled with hidden legal traps" and said employers as we'll as unions would regret the day that it was conceived"
 Taft, one of the bills authors, replied with broadcast half an hour later.
 He said MT. Truman had com pletely misrepresented" the char acter of the bill in his veto and had attempted to. set his judgment up over that of House Democrats.
 His veto message shows that he knows practically nothing about the bill itself" Taft de- clared.

Three Dead From Accidents
CBy The Associated Press)

Two nine-year-old Seattle boys Arthur Stevenson and Leon Wallace Shores-were drowned in separate accidents yesterday, one in Seattle and the other in wa ters below Dumping Lake dam in Yakima county.
 A third accident victim of the weekend was Emanuel Johnson, .75, of Mercer Island. Johnson was fatally injured Saturday night when, according to state patrol man D. L. LaLanne, he stepped suddenly into the path of car driven by Frank s. Akins, 28, pro- fessional football player. Akins was not held.
 The body of young Stevenson was recovered last night from. a backwater on Harbor Island tide flats. Witnesses said the boy fell into the water from a log while fishing.
 Young Shores also slipped from a. log, an unidentified fisherman told Yakima county deputy sher- if Bud BurleSon. He told forest rangers the boy "never came up" and that he was unable to locate the body below the surface
 Searchers equipped with grap- bling hooks brought to the scene from Yakima, .72 miles southeast, combed the waters in an unsuc- cessful effort to recover the body.

Oil Shipments To
 Russia Are Normal

WASHINGTON, (F) -. Thomas E. Blaisdell, chief of the commerce departments office of internation- al trade, told Congress today that current United States oil ship ments to Russia are normal"
 Blaisdell was called to testify before a House armed service sub committee after Chairman Shafer R.-Mich) said he was con- cerned over the oil shipments in the face of reported petroleum shortage here.
 There is nothing unusual about a shipment of an estimated half a. million barrels of petroleum prod ucts to Siberia from west coast ports. This is a normal seasonal movement. The volume concerned is not of huge magnitude" Blais- dell testified.
 Shafer interrupted to say there was nothing unusual about send ing scrap iron and oil to Japan in the 1930's either"
 James H. Hayes, commerce de- pertinent petroleum expert, said half million barrels of petrole- um were exported during May, but he did not know how much of it went to Russia. Mayes said the Soviet received 72,000 barrels from the United States the first three months of this year.
 Mayes testified that exports to Russia were 2,5O0,00O barrels last year and 5,OO0,OOO barrels in 1945.

quality and very weak and few

The Germans have made an in
formal request for $4,000 tons Of
barley to make into beer for their
own consumption.
Food and agriculture authorities
Of the military government. how
ever, have advised withdrawal Of
the request on the grounds that 1t
would prejudice the chances Of OBJ
tanning additional grain from the
United States to relieve the food
shortage.
The request probably will not be
submitted formally and the brew
cries in Germany will continue to
turn out beer for consumption by
soldiers or possibly for export.
Wine Preferred by French
The problem of use Of grain for
beer or hard liquor is not a serious
one in France where wine and dis
titled spirits made from grapes are
preferred. The making of wine is
one of the principal industries in
France.
The whole question OF using grain
for beer, ale and whisky promises to
be a live one in Europe and the
British Isles during the present
emergency just as 1t Is In the
United States.
Whether wheat, rye, corn or bar
ley goes into the beer, ale and
whisky seems immaterial because
the total bread and feed grain sup
ply seems interchangeable.
This was demonstrated by the
fact that much of the food effect Of
bumper wheat crop in the United
States was offset by reduction Of
800, ,0G0 900 bushels in the corn crop
in t947 from 1916.
The debate probably will continue
on whether grain Is to be fed TO
human beings, fed to livestock Or
made into beer or hard liquor.

Democratic Choice Never Beaten
McGroth Record Shows
Victory His Habit
in Politics
By Ernest 6. Worren

j. Howard McGrath suffered a
slip of the tongue one day in 1914.
1t was at Democratic rally at
Pawtucket, r. I. McGrath, then
Governor of Rhode Island, was pre-
senting Senator Harry s. Truman.
II introduce" he said, "the next
President of the United States"
Mr.. Truman. of course, was then
running for Vice President. Hur-
riedly McGrath corrected himself
but his slip proved prophetic. With
in few months Franklin D. Roose-
velt died and Mr.. Truman became
President.
And now Senator McGrath is in
line for the job of electing Mr..
Truman in his own right.
Robert e. Hannegan, retiring Oc-
tober 20 as chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, has recon-
mended that the junior Senator
from Rhode Island succeed him.
President Truman, he said, ap-
proves.
The 43-year-old McGrath, three
times Governor of his tiny State and
former United States Solicitor Gen.
eral, is a compactly built Irishman
who has covered great political dis
tances in hurry.
Never Defeated
He has never been defeated at
the polls and says he's going to see
to it that his party isn't either under
his Craftsmanship.
Senator McGrath is no Snowman

that his climb in II years from the
city solicitors Office of Central Falls,
R. l., to the top of the Democratic
ladder has been accomplished by
sheer energy" To all appearances
he is a placid, gar-smoking execu-
tive type. He is never too busy to
listen to any one, his aides assert,
and no detail is too small for his
attention.
Senator McGrath was educated In
law and has practiced as a partner
OF the States veteran senior Demo-
cratic Senator Green. But his prin-
cipal interest since receiving his law
degree from Boston University In
1929 has been politics.
He was solicitor for Central Falls

up to the politically strategic office

He resigned to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. He

H. Vanderbilt, was reelected in 1912
and 1914.
On October 6, 1945, McGrath re-
signed as Governor to accept ap-
pointment as United States Solicitor
General. This led some to believe
ne was forsaking politics. He had
demonstrated knack, however, and
politicians were not through with
him.

Robert +. Jones Studied
Aerodynamics at
Catholic u.
BY james D. White

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif.-They
are sweeping back the wing of the
airplane so men can fly faster than
sound wave, partly because back
in 1884 Washington elevator lost
its operator and Congressman lost
his mathematics tutor.
These are markers along the trail
largely self -blazed-of Robert T.
Jones.
Mr.. Jones is 81, one Of those self
taught persons who defy classifica-
ton. He is listed as mathematician"
and "aerodynamicist" by the Ames
Aeronautical Laboratory of the Ma
tional Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics CNACA), which employs
him. Mr.. Jones says he probably
Is more Of an engineer"
He has no college degree, yet holds
the 1946 Read award for "his con-
tributions to the understanding of
flow phenomena around wings and
bodies at speeds below and above
the speed of sound"
He is slightly built, but a heavy
weight when it comes to figuring
what will happen to airplanes
when they are made to do things
they don't do now-such as 90
faster than sound.
"Outstanding practical theorist in
aerodynamics" is the jaw-breaker
they hang on him in NACA.
That sounds pretty formidable
until Bob Jones turns up, a neat
young man with an engaging grin,
curly black hair and a soft, precise
way of speaking
Started With Toy
Mr.. Jones was going to high
school back in Macon, Mo, when
he tired Of making toy model
planes and decided to build his
personal plane. He figured a motor
cycle engine would do. if and when
he could get one.
Boning up for this job, he read
a book on the theory of airplane
design and saw he didn't know
enough about engineering. So in
1928 he enrolled as a freshman at
the School of Engineering, Univer-
sity of Missouri.
After a year." laughs Bob Jones,
II decided I had enough engineer
ing to be an airplane designer. so
quit and got job with a firm max
ing small planes at Marshall, Mo-"
Before the depression knocked
both firm and employe out of the
airplane business, he helped design
a midget racer that was to weigh
600 pounds including pilot and fuel.
1t never got OF the drawing boards,
but keep it in mind-it figures later
in the story.
Jobless, Jones went back to
Macon, argued with his lawyer fa-
ther about going to Annapolis, and
went instead to Washington, D. c.,
where surely a young plane designer
could find work.
Besides, ! had relatives In WASH
ington with whom I could stay" he
grins.
But few planes were being built.
