Stossen AssoiIs TALKING
On Foreiqn Policy Abroad

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 10
| (P1.-Harold E. Stassen, aspirant for
the Republican presidential nomi-
nation, who has been making fact
finding tour of Europe, declared
today "it is not proper to discuss
the foreign policy of the United
States in a foreign country"
The former governor of Mime
sofa held news conference only
few hours after Henry A. Wal
lace left Stockholm by plane for
Oslo, Norway. Mr.. Wallace has crit
icized President Truman's proposal
for aid to Greece and Turkey and
has called for peace and under
standing with Russia"
Mr. Stassen said that after his
return to the United States he would
confer with leaders of the Republi-
can party before publishing his
views and impressions of his Euro
pean trip.
The Republican Party, he said, has
an excellent chance of winning the
presidential election in 1948 "if we
have a good program" and if Repub-
lican Congressman now in Office re-
tain the confidence of the people.
All America-both the Republi-
can and Democratic Parties-are
moving forward in world policy and
will not go back to the policy of the
20s,' MIR. StaSsen said when asked
whether Republicans would revert
to earlier policy if victorious in the
presidential election.
Before his press conference Mr..
StasselF conferred with Prime Min
lister Tager Erlander and had lunch
con with Foreign Minister Oesten
linden.
Although Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Stassen did not meet in Stockholm

vouchers for this purpose unless as
sured by the House and senate Ap-
preparations Committees they would
consider favorably legislation to au-
thorize this outlay. This ruling
stopped delivery of the goods to
Russia and smaller amounts to other
countries, some of which had to put
up cash in advance. Mr.. Acheson
said they all had deposited money
to cover the disputed administrative
expenses of making the shipments,
but it could not be used under the
ruling.
The State Department listed the
goods still to be transferred to Rus
sia under the agreement as includ-
ing $6,972, 900 in oil refinery equip
ment, $3,058,000 in mine hoists, ST.
777,000 in locomotive storage bat
teries, $1,272,000 in power equipment,
$945, 900 in electrical supplies, $674,-
600 in mining equipment. $3.50, 900 in
electrical motors and $1,696,000 in
miscellaneous machinery.
1t said s233 100000 in supplies had
been shipped to Russia between VI
day and December 81, 1916, when
Congress ordered all Lend Lease
shipments abroad halted. This end
OF Lend-Lease made contracts neces-
sary If additional goods, already or
dered, were to be shipped.
Radio Debate With Cooper.
Senator Johnson's remarks regard
ing Mr.. Wallace and the effects of
his speeches in Europe on the Greek
Turkish aid program were made in
a radio debate with Senator Cooper,
Republican of Kentucky, broadcast
by NBC.
Senator johnson said Mr.. Wallace
should have stayed in the United
States and helped us inform the
American public of the catastrophe
implications of this adventure into
power politics"
Senator Cooper said Mr.. Wallace S
attacks on President Truman's for
eign policy and the Greek Turkish
aid bill are probably embarrassing
to England and will embarras
France"
He said he does not favor taking
any action against the former Vice
President because ANY American
has the right to speak anywhere. /"
He added that Mr.. Wallace,s "poor
Evening star., 1947-04-20

has been expanded to include four
platform appearances and a radio
address, was welcomed to Oslo as
lone of the most important voices
of the common man."
That description of Mr.. Wallace
came from Theodor Brock, famed
wartime mayor of Narvik, who
joined with Norway's minister of
education, Kaare Fostervoll, in
welcoming him at a luncheon at
tended by representatives of the
country's six political parties, in
cluding two cabinet members.
Mr.. Fostervoll said Mr.. Wallace
could claim a unique achievement
in bringing together at the same
table representatives of the Con-
servative, Christian, Labor Peoples,
Farmers and Communist Parties.
Seen Revision in Law.
Addressing the gathering, Mr.
Wallace predicted that any United
States laws curbing the right of
Americans to speak freely about
their own government in foreign
countries would be modified to con-
form to the charter of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization.
Referring to reports from the
United States of proposals that his
passport be Withdrawn and that the
Logan Act be invoked against him
because of his attacks on President
Truman's foreign policy, Mr.. Wal
lace said:
THE right of any world citizen to
speak his mind is merely carrying
out the injunction given in the
UNESCO charter. I believe any
United States laws which may be
in conflict with that charter will be
modified"
Tomorrow he will address a pub
lie meeting at a large Oslo theater
and will speak at a Farmers Party
Conservative meeting on agricul-
tural subjects.

does-and does not-mean.
If, therefore, Gen. Marshall is
distressed, as he must be, at some
of the nonsense being. written to
the effect that failure to reach
agreement with Russia here means
the final rupture between East and
West, he must be prepared to bear
his share of the blame.
Right to Criticize.
Whenever a public official under
takes to explain the meaning of the
things in which he is engaged, he
runs the risk that some bonehead
will accuse him of trying to straight
jacket public criticism of the job he
is doing. In a situation like this,
however, it is a risk which should be
run. The public and the press al
ways retain their right to criticize.
The more, within reason, he takes
them into his confidence, the more
intelligent. the less irresponsible,
their criticism will be.
The truth is there are public
opinion factors at work under the
surface of the present situation be-
tween ourselves and Russia which
no Secretary of State can afford to
ignore. Security-tactical secrecy in
negotiations-cannot solve the pres
ent problem.
For the outcome of the conflicts
which have been sharpened at the
conference does not depend entire
ly, or even primarily, on what Gen
Marshall and Mr.. Molotov are or
are not able to work out together
1t depends to an enormous extent
on what ordinary people think about
these conflicts.
Secretary of State Marshall is a
great and good man. But If he has
a blind spot on this point, it is a
matter of concern to more than the
handful of bemused reporters here

convictions of his group that war is
inevitable"
Mr.. Wallace said Americans were
being described as hysterical in their
attitude toward Russia.
IF I knew only what I read in
the American press I also would be
hysterical," he said.
Praises American Press.
The former cabinet member
praised American reporters, saying
they were progressive and forward
looking and also praised the Amer
lean press being on the whole the
best in the world.
Il am not accusing them of de-
liberately publishing untruths," he
said, but the American press does
engage in selective use of the truth
that is the last word in propaganda.
We must have the whole Truth If
we are to maintain peace"
Mr.. Wallace said that when he
spoke the United States press
ignored him. When I return" he
added, Il suppose the blanket CT
silence will ll.again. I have broken
through the silken curtain of that
silence by coming to Europe"
Citing the Spanisn-American War
as case resulting, he said. from
selective newspaper treatment, Mr..
Wallace said, THAT is why I am
so disturbed when we send naval
vessels on goodwill tours in foreign
waters. If anything happened to
our vessels who would know the
cause of the incident? There may
still be Nazis. How easy for them
to provoke an international incident.
That is why I am so deeply con-
cerned when the press loads facts
on one side"
Speaks to 1,500 Students.
Mr.. Wallace dashed on foot from
the crowded labor temple to a hall
where l,500 students heard him as
sail what he called trends toward
war and urged them to fight for
stronger United Nations.
Sooner or later, all Nordic races
will reach maturity and conclude
that war is characteristic of childish

They at least were briefed in ad-
vance as to major plans of action
so that they could write intelligently
about operations as they developed.
Here we have no such advantage.
Those who should know, say there
are two reasons for the Secretary's
failure to maintain contact with the
press corps, and through them with
the public back home, during the
conference The first is that there
is no place in Moscow where he feels
he can talk to so large a group as
these So American correspondents.
The second is that he is not sure he
can talk conf1dentially to such a
diverse collection of reporters.
These worries would, of course, be
justified If Gen. Marshall planned
to reveal truly secret material to
the presto let reporters in on the
backroom strategic and tactual
planning of his diplomatic team.
This. however, is neither what the
reporters expect or need.
The need is for enough authori-
tative guidance to enable reporters
accurately to set the days story
into its proper policy frame-to
show it in reasonable perspective
against basic American objectives.
It is undoubtedly true that the
Secretary cannot himself afford the
time to supply such guidance except
occasionally in the case of big issues
or of big changes in the background
against which the issues are being
fought out. Ordinarily it would be
quite sufficient if a spokesman, in
close enough daily contact with the
Secretary to speak for him on policy
matters, were authorized so to speak
for him.
Michael J. McDermott, the de-
partment's press chief. has not been
able to speak for the Secretary in
this way at this conference.
Mr.. McDermott and Charles e.
Bohlen have supplied reporters with
daily factual accounts of the Foreign
Ministers meetings. These accounts
are excellent so far as they go. They
do not, however, go far enough to
enable reporters to interpret what
is happening authoritatively.
Other Officials Reluctant.
1t is true, of course, that we have
been free to find out what we can
about the meaning and motivation
OF events in catch h-as-catch-can
conversations with delegates other
than the secretary. In the first
place, however. the men who really
know have displayed an unusual
reluctance to talk about what they
know. After all lockjaw is a catch
ing disease and the boss has it. In
the second place, when somebody
does say something helpful, there
is no way Of knowing to what extent
he can be taken as expressing an
official view.
1t is also true that reporters have
been similarly or worse handicapped
at previous meetings of the Council
OF Foreign Ministers.
That, however, is not the point,
The point is that this time the lack
of adequate policy guidance for the
press seems in fact to have resulted
in serious shortcomings of public
understanding as to what the dis

the new city tax program in addi-
ton to the teacher pay measure.
Although the budget is before the
Horan appropriations subcommittee,
the Commissioners have voiced the
opinion to the Cain-Bates group
that financing the teacher pay pro-
posal at the expense of other items
IN the budget would be curing one
sore and creating another"
Discussion of the possibility of the
sales tax followed earlier testimony
yesterday during which District
budget officials revealed the pay bill
would add $2,708,000 to an expected
general fund deficit next year of
more than $12,000,000.
Estimates on Yield.
The proposed sales tax is the
core of the tax program before the
committee. The commissioners esti-
mate it would yield 100000 in a
full year .but the Board of Trade
has predicted the yield would be
from $12,000,000 to 5000 900.
A parade of representatives from
teacher groups went before the COM
mittee yesterday to support the pay
bill. The hearing will resume to-
morrow at 10 am. to permit seven
remaining witnesses to testify.
Virtually all Endorsed the pend
ing measure. though many felt it
did not go quite far enough. They
were unanimous in praising the
single salary standard carried in the
bill under which teachers of all
school levels will receive equal pay
for equal training and experience.
The bill also provides for $3.50
across-the-board cost of living in
crease for the teachers on top of the
$3.50 boost they are receiving this
year.
Proposals Favored by Teachers.
Among the points many of the
teacher groups would have liked to
see put in the bill were:
/. A $4,000 minimum for elemen-
tary school teachers, instead of the
proposed s2,500, to equal the begin
ming professional salary In govern
ment.
2. Higher pay for persons with 80
hours beyond masters degree.
3. Six annual increments of 5000
instead of IL of s1O0.
In addition, Mrs. Isabel r. Ward
OF the Attendance Officers Associa-
ton. urged that the leave of attend
ance officers be placed on a par with
that OF nonteaching professional
employees of the Board of Education.

Speakers Assail Plan
For D. c. Sales Tax
In Radio Program

A sales tax for the District was
held an undesirable measure by
speakers In q forum discussion Of
the city, fiscal program broadcast
yesterday over Radio Station WRC,
! Participating were Mrs. Robert
Leonard, president Of the District
League Of Women Voters: Herbert
Wood, member Of the Washington
Chapter of the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action and president of the
Potomac Cooperative Federation,
and j. G. Turner, chairman of the
tax committee of the Central Labor
Union, AFL.
They felt that while the District
needs additional revenues, a sales
tax would mean in general that
workers in the lower income field
would suffer reduced living stand
ards. while those in the higher
brackets would incur merely a re-
dVced rate OF savings.
Unemployed, Pensioners Cited.
Mr.. Wood pointed out that many
who favor a sales tax overlook the
unemployed, families on relief, stu
dent veterans receiving $65 to $50 a
month and retired civil service EN-
ployes living on small pensions.
Mrs. Leonard cited the difficulties
to be met in collecting such tax,
which, she felt, would mean a
great burden to all merchants
large or small-who would have a
lot of detailed work to do in keeping
track of the tax on the various
items"
Most of the States which adopted
a sales tax during the depression
to prevent bankruptcy did not have
a State income tax, Mr.. Turner
said. Mr.. Wood pointed out that
nine of the 80 States which passed
sales taxes repealed them when
their emergencies were over.
Mrs. Leonard said a revenue in
crease of $6,000,000 probably could
be realized If all persons living
in the District and benefitting from
the schools and fire and police pro-
lection were subject to income tax,
rates were brought closer in line
with those, for instance, of Mary
land and Virginia and a more
efficient system of collecting were
built up.
She added that the league in
dorses a proposed excise tax on
cigarettes, liquor and amusements.
She said the tax on real estate
should be raised and there should
be a larger Federal contribution

compensation for after hours coach
ing.
Corning Offers Views.
Superintendent of Schools Hobart
Corning ended the session with
brief reply to those who wanted to
broaden the scope of the bill.
He said he thought the proposed
opening salary would be enough to
attract good personnel. He objected
that 5000 increments would put new
teachers at the top of their pay
brackets too soon. He felt some of
the other proposals would benefit
specific groups rather than the good
of the service.
DR.. Corning suggested that the
committee compare the salaries OF
attendance officers here with those
paid elsewhere. He also added that
If extra compensation is to be paid
to physical education instructors
for coaching time, the same prin-
ciple should, in fairness, be extended
to other teachers who aid in other
student activities such as drama
and publications.
He urged that, If the committee
found it necessary to cut the pro-
posed schedules. school officials be
given a chance to study the cuts to
be sure the whole program was not
thrown out of line.
