Mr.. and Mrs. J. Link Haws of

yesterday when both their names
were among the first 10 drawn from
1000 applicants for reduced price
1916 Fords sold by motor COM
|pany.
Advertisements for a fiat 500 re-
duction on the 10 slightly used cars
brought 1000 phone calls and more
than 1000 personal visits to the
Cherner Motor Co. Office at 1881
Florida avenue NV, an official said.
The 1000 names were dumped into
a bowl and the applicants were
chosen by drawing. &
Mrs. Haws' name was the seventh
drawn. Two names later, her hus-
bands turned up.
Mr.. Haws explained they both ap-
piled in the hope that one name
would be drawn. Not wanting two
cars, he tore up his own applica-
ton.

Wallace Says People
'0f Europe Are Bitter
Toward America
~ III. A.,esiut.d Pr.,.

NEW YORK, May Henry A
Wallace, commenting in a radio
speech on his recent European tour
said last night that everywhere ]
had to defend America against grow
ing bitterness"
The former vice president said
the people of Europe look upon the
Truman doctrine with fear be-
cause they regard it as step lead
ing toward war"
He added that conservative
American newspapermen told me
that America will use economic
pressure to drive the Communists,
the largest French political party,
out of the government and will give
full support to De Gaulle"
IF this is true Mr.. Wallace
said. then I say we are toying with
a policy that may lead to blood
shed"
Mr.. Wallace. now editor of the
New Republic Magazine, said Euro
peans looked to this country for
capital and goods needed for re-
Mobilization, but did not want helr
through the Truman doctrine.
The program provides military
equipment for European govern
ments," he said. What good is mill
tary equipment to them?" .
Instead, Mr.. Wallace added, Den
mark wants tractors, Sweden and
Norway want coal, and France and
Britain want machinery.
He said the world was sharply
divided into two parts" and added
Il blame Russia, Britain, America
and all nations for this division
But America today is helping to
force this division instead of work
ing for peace
The address was the first of a
series Of talks Mr.. Wallace will make
during cross country tour.
