on the actions of the head OF a
great state.
Pravda took up the subject at
great length today in an attack
similar to the arguments employed
yesterday by Izvestia. Delegates to
the Four Power Foreign Ministers
Conference read at breakfast a
charge in Pravda, organ of the Com
munist Party's Moscow Central
Committee, that the Truman policy
did not serve the cause of peace
and security and that in the pro-
posal "a policy of imperialist ex-
pansion is revealed under the guise
of charity"
Prime Minister Stain is almost
certain to tell Gen. Marshall just
what he thinks of the Truman
plan and just what it means to the
Soviet Union. 1t can be stated with
some assurance that If Mr. Stain

The Senate Republican Policy
Committee met today to decide
whether to declare political war
on any of the 585 postmasters
appointed by President Truman
since the present Congress con-
vened more than two months
ago.
Meanwhile. the Senate itself was
in recess until Monday, with the
bill to ban most portal-pay suits
pending, despite a crowded legisla-
tive calendar to be acted On by
March 81. ,-
Leaders who previously had
planned a Saturday session to speed
up the program decided nothing
would be gained by meeting today in
view of indications the portal pay
bill may not reach vote before
Tuesday or Wednesday.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Mar. 15.-Brig. Gen. Harry B. Sher-

Gen. Sherman's troops take win

MOSCOW, Mar. 15.-Prime
Minister Stain is likely to speak
his nina to Secretary of State
Marshall on President Truman's
proposed plans to aid Greece and
Turkey when the Soviet leader
receives the American Secretary,
an event which may occur at any
time now.
No Soviet leader thus far has
made a public statement on the
Presidents declaration, but the
Russians certainly must believe that
Gen. Marshall played a guiding part
in shaping the Presidents policy.
Two of the most important news
papers in the Soviet Union-the
Communist Party newspaper Pravda
and the government organ, Izvestia,
have lashed out at the Truman plan.

culled out of the Presidents budget
Where these cuts finally will fall
however, remains question that
has to be settled-along with many
others-by the full Senate HOUSE
committee probably late next week
Among other items the Republi-
can leaders are said to be ready te
trim are the Presidents estimate
of 81, 100 600 900 for tax refunds and
an S826, ,O00, 600 estimate for Gov
eminent corporations.
A possible saving of from $780,
000, 900 to 250,000,0 900 in admins
trative expenses of the Veterans
Administration also Is under con-
sideration.
To make up the remainder OF
their proposed budget cut of $780,
O00, 900 or more, the Republicans are
expected to use their shears to clip
IS 900 900 here and $4,000 900 there.
There seemed little doubt that
II the party members can force
such proposal through the Senate
House committee. they will face q
stiff fight from administration
forces on the floor of both the House
and Senate.

Proposed Rent Boost
lis Gravy Train Ride, :
Roosevelt, L., Says

Charging that 10 per cent rent
increase would provide a gravy
train ride" for landlord groups who
are making money now, Franklin D
Roosevelt, jr., national housing
chairman of the American Veterans
Committee, today urged that Con-
gress leave rent ceilings where they
are.
A 10 per cent increase would cost
the veterans and low-income tenants
$500, 900 900. Mr.. Roosevelt declared
He favored appropriation, instead
of $6,000,000 by Congress to the
Office of Temporary Controls to
finance processing of Individual
hardship" applications of Landlords
for rent increase relief.
Asked If he had heard state
ment made by Rufus S. Lusk, Sec
retary of the Business Owners and
Managers Association, to the effect
that there is no housing shortage
Mr.. Roosevelt retorted:
Tell that to the veteran who
amt got house! I get a little
tired of people who say the hous-
ing shortage is a mirage.
Health Problem Cited.

ter has $4,000 doctors certificates

at once, and 600, 600 units to elm
Innate slum dwellings"
He predicted that If the Repub-
|lican Congress eliminates rent con-
troll it will ALLEVIATE veterans and
low-income people.
There is no justification for an
across-the-board" increase in rents
now, Mr.. Roosevelt asserted. The
net income of apartment house
owners has gone up % per cent since
1889, he said, and the services which
landlords customarily give tenants
have virtually disappeared. He said
maintenance costs to landlords have
shown either very small increases
or actually have declined.
VFW Also Favors Ceilings.
Meanwhile, the Veterans of For
eign Wars urged Congress to keep
present ceilings until June 80, 1948,
In statement prepared for the
Senate Banking Committee, John c.
Williamson, assistant VFW legisla-
tive director, said:
II am fearful of the evictions that
would result from across-the-boar
rental increases at this time.
This is a great price to pay for
further increasing the net operating
income of landlords on residential
rents, already approximately IS per
cent above the 1899 profit estimate"
The Office of Temporary Controls
yesterday liberalized provisions under
which landlords may apply for In
creased rent ceilings.

into action after all this planning.
Admiral Byrd said.
The admiral left his flagship al
$50 pm. He will be quartered in a
wannigan, one of three boxlikt
14-by-6 feet dwellings on skis at the
edge of the tent town. The men
are quartered in stove-heated tents
banked with snow for insulation.
Rear Admiral Richard II. Cruzer
went aboard the icebreaker North
wind at pm. to lead the Mount
Olympus cargo ships Yancey ano
Merrick through the ice pack, which
has been perhaps the worst en-
countered in this area. Some ships
suffered light damage on the jour-
Iney down, and there is danger the
pack might freeze suddenly.
New Icebreaker to Arrive.
The new Navy icebreaker Burton
Island is scheduled to meet the flo
tilla somewhere inside the ice pack
to help in the escorting job. The
three ships will wait outside the ice
pack near Scott Island, serving as
weather stations, until the camp Is
evacuated by Admiral Byrd and his
1877 men, who will be brought out
on the admiral's two ice breakers
The downward journey through
the 600-mile-wide pack took IA days
but the pack was reported much i'm
proved, and Admiral Cruzen said he
hoped he would lose the dollar bet
made with Admiral Byrd that the
return passage would take at least
seven days.

Hearing on LiIienfha|
Resumes; Sfarnes
Praises Nominee

Senate members of the Senate
House Atomic Energy Committee
scheduled another hearing today on
the nominations of David E. Lilien-
thai and four others to the Atomic
Energy Commission, after hearing
former Representative Joe Starnes,
Democrat, of Alabama, term Mr..
Lilienthal "a man Of character, vi
sion and realism"
Mr.. Starnes, who conducted a
1910 inquiry into alleged communism
in the Tennessee Valley Authority,
which Mr.. Lilienthal formerly
headed, was called as witness yes
terday at the request of Senator
McKellar, Democrat, Of Tennessee,
who has been attempting to prove
that there were Communists in iva
and that Mr.. Lilienthal must have
known of them.
Mr.. Starnes said he functioned as
one-man subcommittee of the
House Committee on un-American
Activities when he looked into iva.
He said he found definite evidence
of only three Communists among
TWAS 18,200 employees, one of whom
was fired, another resigned, and a
third, described as misguided
youth, was kept on after he had
renounced Communism.
No Accusation Made.
"At no time during the investiga-
ton was charge made that Mr..
LilienthaF was member of the
Communist Party, active in its coun-
ellis or sympathetic to its program" a"
Mr.. Starnes testified.
He added that the same could be
said of Gordon Clapp, Twas general
manager; Herbert S. Marks and
other high officials.
Mr.. Lilienthal, he declared, is "a
man Of impeccable character, an
able administrator, good executive,
conscientious in the performance of
his duties-a man of character,
vision and realism"
Meanwhile, Senator McKellar said
today he will take his fight to pre-
vent Mr.. Clapp from becoming a
iva director to the Senate floor if
the Public Works Committee recon-
mends confirmation.
"But," the veteran Senator. told
reporter, st can't see how the
committee can approve. We've gone
far enough to show he doesn't know
what it is all about.
IF his name goes to the Senate
floor, will oppose his nomination
if mine is the only voice raised
against him"
The committee was in recess to-
day until called for its ninth day
of hearings on the Clapp nomina-
ton by Chairman Revercomb.
Returning to the witness stand
yesterday following his Endorsement
by two Senators and six Representa-
tives from Tennessee and Alabama,

Is selected.
Mr.. Butler released this statement
at his press conference:
"The Executive Committee of the
Community Chest of Washington
has given full consideration to criti-
cisns that have come to the Chest
from several organizations of citi-
zens.
"The criticisms have in general
dealt with two matters-the type OF
social agency that should be in
cluded in Community Chest mem
besship and the efficiency of the
Chest as a means Of providing sup
port for social welfare services In
the city.
1.-THE Executive Committee vel
comes thorough discussion of these
two questions and of any others
concerning which contributors may
desire further information. It be-
lieves that progress can be made
most rapidly and effectively by the
appointment of relatively small
committee of citizens to make an in
tensive and objective study result
ing in recommendations.
Long Time Required.
"It is evident that an adequate
study will require very considerable
amount Of time on the part of the
Study Committee because of the
wide scope of the organization and
that the persons appointed to make
it should be selected both for their
competence and for their ability to
give. the time necessary to become
well acquainted with wide range OF
activities and administrative pro-
cedures.
TN order to keep the Study Com
mittee from becoming too large and
unwieldy, the Executive Committee
feels that its members should be
appointed only by large organiza
tions with city-wide membership,
particularly the federation type OF
organization with local groups; that
participation in the study should be
by action of the governing boards
of the invited organizations; that
such organizations should not in
clude any Chest agencies in their
member organizations, and that
each organization should be invited
to appoint three of its members as
its representatives on the committee

yesterday that Japan's wartime
commander in the Southeast Asia
theater, Marshal Count Juichi Ter
auchi, prompted the Indonesians to
seek independence. He said Ter
auchi's instructions were given to
DIR. Soekarno and Mohammed
Hatta. now president and vice presi-
dent of the Republican regime.
A dispatch from Jogjakarta today
said Republican political leaders
termed DR.. van Mook's charge a
Dutch excuse-in-a advance for re-
suming, on full scale, the military
operations technically halted by
cease-fire orders August 4.
The Netherlands Army head
quarters in Batavia reported Indo-
nesian scorched earth tactics had
destroyed the worlds largest tea
factory. This was identified as the
Balimbangan plant in the Siantar
district of Sumatra.
The White Cross Agricultural
Colony at Salatiga, in Central Java,
which had cared for $500 Indone-
slams since 1902, also was burned by
the Republicans, the Dutch charged.
Both sides have reported repeated
violations of the cease-flre orders,
which were issued by direction of
the Security Council.
! In Java, the Indonesian news
agency, Antara, said the Republi-
can government had obtained docu-
ments which proved the Dutch de-
cided on military action against the
Indonesians on May 20, two months
before negotiations were suspended.
The agency said the documents
quoted Dutch Premier Louis J. M.
Beel as telling DR.. van Nook at
Scerabaja that military operations
offered the only means of settling
the issue
The agency said the minutes OF
that meeting showed that Dutch
businessmen agreed speedy action
would be needed to forestall
scorched earth tactics by the Indo-
nesians in Java and Sumatra.
