Reese Says Truman !.
Seeks Radical Aid II
He vefoes Two Bills
BY the Associated Press

Republican National Chairman
Carroll Reece said today President
Truman's anticipated and indi-
Gated vetoes" OF COP tax and labor
bills will be .tantamount to an
open announcement that he is seek
ing radical support" in 1913.
Writing in the Republican News,
National Committee organ, Mr..
Reece said in an editorial entitled
Twilight of Double Talk:
1.-THE Truman administrations
march toward the left in antici-
patton of next years campaign Is
being accelerated as the Republican
legislative program nears final en-
actment.
1.-The reason Is obvious.
Appeasement Charged.
"It will be matter of weeks, per-
haps only of days, before important
segments of that program will be
on Mr.. Humans desk for approval
or veto. .
eff his spokesman are to be be-
lieved, and if his own statements
are to be taken at face value, he
has made up his mind to attempt
to veto the measures which the
people ordered last November-in
order to placate and consolidate the
left-wing elements upon which his
hope for election next year must
rest"
Mr.. Reece said the Congress-
White House showdown is fast ap-
preaching because the Senate has
cleared the decks for action on
tax reduction, curtailment in Fed
eral spending and labor regulation
measures.
COP Program Almost Completed.
When the Senate acts on these
measures, as it will in the very near
future" Mr.. Reece wrote, "the Re-
publican program, will, generally
speaking, have been completed in so
tfar as such completion lies within
the power of the Republican ma
jorities in Congress.
"Mr. Truman's anticipated, and
indicated, vetoes of some, or all, of
the bills comprising this program
will then be tantamount to an open
announcement that he is seeking
radical support for his campaign in
1913.
HE knows full well-as proved by
the last presidential election-th
Democrat candidate for President
cannot possibly be elected without
the support of the Wallaces and the
Peppers and others of that COM
|plexion.
THE administrations days of
pointing to the right while moving
to the left are ended"

DR.. Clarke declared that "a large

DR.. Clarke. pediatrician and

allergies were caused by some kinds
of food, pollen or dust.
These, he said, were cases in which
allergic reactions occur within the

They may result in muscle spasm,
fluid in the brain producing head
aches, vomiting, dizziness, convul-

Speculative statements that go

The report had not been published

Text Of Statement.
The text Of Gen. MacArthur's
| statement:
IT have not seen press dispatches
reported to allege my assurance
that the United States would under
take the future defense of Japan.
but If such statements have. been
attributed to me their absurdity
| is so evident as to warrant no seri-
GUS comment.
"The security of Japan, until q
peace treaty is signed, is an obi
CATION assumed by the Allied ma
tons and entrusted to their occu-
patton forces. It's security after
peace will depend upon provisions
embodied in the peace terms. 1t
can be assumed this problem, inso-
far as international aspects are
concerned, will largely rest with the
United Nations or some similar COL
lective agency. The United States
might well have a special interest
in the matter because of the stra-
tegic geographic location of Japan

Tense. Speculative statements that
go beyond this concept have no
basis in reality, insofar as I am
concerned"

mail deliveries and other services
must be curtailed "all over the
country as a result of a failure of
Congress to pass the customary
deficiency appropriation bill to allow
Government agencies to finish the
final months of the fiscal year
ending June 80"
Statements Called False.
"These statements are completely
false" Senator Bridges said, "be-
cause the true picture is that the
additional deficiency appropriation
item which covers these matters
has never come before Congress
as yet. 1t still is before the Budget
Bureau"
This is very interesting" Senator
Bridges commented, "in a depart
ment that has run a deficit of
1895 ,150,543 this fiscal year and
whose head, MIR. (Robert) Hanne-
gan, has spent SO little time in it
that most of the officials and en-
ployes would not recognize him
unless they have good memories"
THE truth is that the Post Office
Department is living way beyond
its means and if there is any blame
for having insufficient funds it does
not rest on Congress but on the
Bureau of the Budget and the de-
partment itself"
Last night, Acting Postmaster
General Jesse M. Donaldson told a
reporter the Boston postmaster had
been called on the carpet" adding:
Neither the Boston postmaster
nor any other postmaster has been
authorized to make any statement
about Congress. Actually Congress
is not to blame. The deficiency ap-
preparation which we will have to
ask for extra clerk hire had SUBJ
stitute carriers has not even been
submitted to the Congress as yet"
900 Ordered Back to Work.
Later the Boston Post Office an
nounced that Mr.. Connolly in a
telephone call from Washington had
ordered 600 temporary employees re-
turned to work less than "a hours
after he had furloughed them and
announced that 600 more would be
laid off.
Mr.. Connolly also restored normal
Saturday service but kept mail de-
livery on q one instead of a two-a-
day basis.
Representative Stefan said yes
terday's developments were only
part of a "bombardment" he has
been suffering from all departments
in recent weeks, whenever. reduc-
lions have been suggested. The Ne
braskan declared:
1T is only another example of the
show these department heads are
putting up to embarrass the APP
preparations Committee in trying to
carry out President Humans (bud-
get requests.
These people were fighting the
Appropriations Committee before we
even made the appropriations.
They had their program ready,
and it started an hour after we had
completed the bill and before the
totals were made public. A prepared
program of smearing the Appro-
priations Committee was set in mo-
ton all the way from Prague, Czech
oslovakia, to the grass roots of Ne
braska."

Two Palestine Arabs
Refused Entry to u. S.

JERUSALEM, May 8 [P.-Amer-
lean consular officials confirmed
yesterday that Dr. Khalil ell Budeiri
and Razim Khalidi, members of a
delegation named by Palestine Arabs
to present their case to the United
Nations, had been refused entry to
the United States.
The officials said Razim Khalidi
had been refused a visa because of
accusations concerning his activities
in Germany during the war and
that Budeiri had been denied entry
under a regulation prohibiting the
granting of visas to any Communists
except those officially representing
a government.
The action was protested by DR.
Hussein ell Khalidi. secretary OF
the Palestine Higher Committee
who said demands for the visas were
being renewed.
TT is not right for the United
States, just because the United Ma
tons headquarters happens to be
there, to prevent any one from ap-
pearing before the q. NJ" he said.
1t was reliably understood that
consular officials were forwarding
DR.. Khalidi's protests to the State
Department. Budeiri and Razim
Khalidi were in Cairo and were not
reached for comment.

Mays Son Takes Stand.
Before Gen. Porter took the stand
the Government briefly called Mays
Eson, Robert ", and two other wit
nesses to identity checks for $1,000
each which May cashed at the Of
flee of the House sergeant at arms
in 1914.
The younger May declared the
checks were Campaign contribu-
tions." He said he was in the Navy
at the time and had given his father
blanket authority to indorse all
checks that came in the name of
r. v. May.
Albert B. Fangmeyer, former book
keeper in the House sergeant at
arms Office, and John Alden, vice
president of the National Bank of
Washington, also testified on the
transaction, identifying the checks
William A. Paisley, Government
prosecutor, asserted in his opening
statement at the start of the con-
spiracy trial that May received two
81 900 checks from Albert Freeman
son of Joseph Freeman, and from q
California war contractor identified
as E. D. Feldman.
Dox,,oan@c fnr 70 Vows AIJaraH
The Government, Mr.. Paisley said
expects to prove that these checks
represented payments to May in re-
turn for favors he obtained for the
soldier sons of Freeman and the
California man. Counsel for May
declared that the money, however
came as campaign contributions.
The Government late yesterday
introduced additional records OF
telephone calls in which May urged
high-ranking men in the Office of the
chief of ordnance and the Army
Services Forces to help the Cars
sons.
Use of Pressure Charged.
But the 1854 question:" as Gov
eminent prosecutors called 1t, came
from defense counsel instead of the
Government side. Under cross-ex-
animation, the wartime chief Of
ordnance declared he was convinced
May put pressure on him to fuse
special measures and influence in
behalf of the Garssons."
The witness, 1t. Gen. Levin H
Campbell, jr., retired, of Chicago
said neither he nor the Ordinance
Department ever yielded to such
pressure. He added. however, that
he and other key officers regarded
Mays numerous telephone calls tc
them as "blitz calls"
These tended to cause delay anG
confusion" in the highly comph-
Gated administrative job of handling
more than $1,00o,00O,000 in indus
trial work every month, he said.
Other witnesses yesterday were
Brig. Gen. Roswell E. Hardy, who
headed the ammunition division OIL
the Ordnance Department during
the war; Maj. Gen. Thomas j. Hayes
retired, a former West Point pro-
fessor who headed the ordnance
procurement division; Col. Richard
H. Tatlow, retired, former chief OF
the facilities and inspection branch
of the Army Service Forces, and
Brig. Gen. Frank r. Denton, retired
former deputy director of the ASST

found this country with 1890, 900
men under arms and their mothers
and fathers calling for their i'm
mediate release from the Army.
Well, Mr.. Truman unused, we got
over that hump successfully, and
while there would be other humps
these also would be surmounted.
AS he smillingly apologized for
making a speech, a reporter asked
How old do you actually feel to-
day?"'
Philosophy Unchanged.
Just about the same age as when
he came to the Senate in 1885, the
President responded.
Has your philosophy of life
changed in the two years?" he was
asked.
No, the President replied, he still
thinks this is the greatest country
in the world and the more he sees
of it the better he likes it, even
if the system of government does
make a slave of the President.
When the conference discussion
turned to other matters, Mr.. Tru-
man refused as usual to be drawn
into any discussion of the contro-
versial labor issue.
He said he was studying the portal
pay legislation just passed by Con-
gress, but had no further comment.
He has until midnight May IA to
act on this bill, which would wipe
out claims for billions of dollars in
portal pay.
He also refused to comment "as a
Missourian" on a measure proposed
in that State to outlaw utilities
strikes He told a reporter who
asked that he wasn't familiar with
the measure.
Reiterates Price Stand.
Asked If the price issue was one of
the humps" that the country still
has to get over, Mr.. Truman said he
thought he had made his position on
prices clear at the Associated Press
luncheon in New York on April 81
when he said that rising wholesale
prices were menacing this country's
economic structure.
In response to a question as to
whether he thought the United
States was past the peak of the
imitation" Mr. Truman said that
he never thought the country was
in an inf1ationary spiral.
He told another questioner that
he did not know if the price peak
had been passed.
Mr.. Truman was asked for COM
ment about the action of the South
ern Baptist Convention of st. Louis
in calling for the recall of Myron
c. Taylor, the Presidents personal
representative to the Vatican, and
the statement made there that the
President told Baptist leaders that
Mr.. Taylor would be withdrawn
when peace was made.
Mr.. Truman said he thought he
had made the statement. that the
recall of MIR. Taylor would be con-
sidered when peace was consum-
mated. He said certainly the peace
has ppt been contaminated.

to be Republican National Commit

knows frivolous and extravagant
spending of public money must be

But he said the House rejected a
5000 appropriation for the Oil

false conception" that it serves only
the petroleum industry.

products that threaten our essential

prompted by a House committee
cut of $60,409, SOS, or % per cent,
from State Department estimates
of S219. 128,058 for the coming year.
Most widely discussed slash was
the wiping out of the $31, 1881 ,220

other activities of the Office of IN

Mr.. Hartman said the $4,000, 900
