for Monday to consider a plan to
convert the abandoned Passama-
quoddy tidal power project into a
training school for displaced per-
sons has been postponed, City Man.
ager Ralph T. colwell said last
night.
Mr.. Colwell said a telegram ad-
vising him of the postponement did
not say when the meeting would be
held. Z
Under the training plan, devised
in the Office of Senator Brewster,
Republican, of Maine, the city
would acquire "Quoddy" village from
the War Asets Administration and
turn it over to a nonprofit syndicate
headed by Frank Cohen, New York
and Philadelphia tractor manufac-
turer.
The syndicate would train dis
placed persons about six months In
technical trades. languages and
homemaking skills and send them
to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil
to make permanent homes.
Senator Brewster said Mr.. Cohen's
proposed agreement with the city
was for establishment of a tractor
assembly plant to employ between
400 and 1000 permanent workers.
The WAA, Senator Brewster's Of
flee said, had placed a fair value"
Of $396,o55 on the 232-acre village
of more than $50 dwellings and in
dustrial buildings on which the
Government spent 100000 in the
1905.
Mr.. Colwell and Oscar H. Brown.
City Council president. said the
metal and cement industrial build
ings were in "gocd" condition and
the dwellings in flair" condition.
The structures were kept up by
the National Youth Adninistra-
ton and the Seabees, who occupied
them after the tidewater project
was dropped.

ing" There are others IN the Sen
ate, on the other side Of the aisle,
who would say just that. However,
that is beside the point here. The
point is that Mr.. Taft will be able
to talk all the way to the coast and
back without wearing himself out.
When the President vetoed his
labor bill, Mr.. Taft delivered ma
jor speech on the subject in the
late afternoon. Leaving the floor
then he spent an hour preparing a
radio speech, but returned to the
floor debate, participating from time
to time. At 10 o'clock he went to
the Senate gallery and listened to
radio speech by the President sup
porting the veto. He corrected his
own manuscript slightly in the light
of the Presidents remarks and went
on the air at 10:45 with his own 30
minute speech.

bring the men home, but things did
not work out as expected. Neither
Russia nor Yugoslavia have ratified
the treaties.
The lack Of ratification in itself
did not interfere with our plans to
get the military out of Italy, but
some other things did. Reports from
American intelligence officers
which were not only confirmed but
amplified by Italian authorities
showed that the Italian Commu-
nists were only waiting for the
Americans to leave before putting
their plans into effect.
Togliatti Is Leader.
The overall direction of Commu-
nists in Italy is in the hands OF
Palmiro Togliatti, former promi-
nent member of the Comintern who
was flown to Italy by the Russians
soon after the surrender. The mill
tary organization, numbering some
40,OOO men, Is in the hands of Luigi
Longo, an expert in guerrilla war
fare and a former leader of a
group in the international Brigade.
From data provided to us by the
Italian government and obtained
from the Investigations of Ameri-
can intelligence officers, it appears
that the Communists intend to
start an insurrection Immediately
after our soldiers are withdrawn
from Venezia Giulia. They expect
ed it to be sometime this year.
This decision was reached last
April during conversations between
Togliatti and his former Comintern
colleague, Marshal Tito Of Yugo-
siavia.
Preparations are complete for the
creation of Communist wedge
along the Adriatic coast from Ra-
VIENNA toward Chioggia. In order

Chips Down in Europe
Royal Says
Nv the Associated Press

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 23.-The
chips are down in the worldwide
political game in occupied Europe,
in the opinion of Secretary Of War
Royal, and food and clothing are
the initial plays"
Expressing his views in speech
before the North American All
Council in this capital city Of his
home State last night, Mr.. Royal
asserted:
"The world has become so small
that we can be reasonably certain
that in the long run-and perhaps
in the short run-such system Of
government will prevail as will fur
nish it's people the best standard
of living and the highest scale Of
life"
In order to survive, Mr.. Royal
added, "democracies must show that
they can serve their people better
than any other form of govern
ment, we have demonstrated this
here in the United States. It can
be demonstrated elsewhere In the
world"

command back in January. He Is
still in one piece and still going
strong. If he was wearied at the
end of the session by the work he
had cut out for himself, he gave
little evidence of it. On the face
of things, Mr.. Taft carried bigger
load than any other member Of the
Senate, but to all appearances he
came through in less need of a
rest than most of his colleagues.
Mr.. Taft is a strong man physi-
cally, stronger than he looks His
rounded figure is deceptive, unless
one also notes his erect carriage
and squared shoulders and the fact
that he always seems alert without
making any effort to be. Fifteen
minutes Of setting-up exercises each
morning on arising-invariably al
7 am-may contribute to this OBJ
vious physical well-being. An aver
age week also includes Saturday
afternoon and Sunday morning golf.
The golf is good weekend ygolfing,
scoring usually in the low eighties.
An imperturbable disposition helps
to keep his score down. Not many
statesmen could fall over a dog in
a sand trap, get up and finish the
hole as though nothing had hap
pened. Mr.. Taft did this before a
large crowd that had come out to
see him, Bobby Jones, Bing Crosby
and other notableS play.
Fitted to Garry Load.
A day in the life of this man who
aspires to the back-breaking job Of
the presidency may indicate how
well fitted he Is to carry the load.
Following the setting-up exercises
and an unhurried breakfast, he
reaches his office at $3.50 am. Half
an hour is spent reading mail and
another half hour debating letters
and still another half hour seeing
people. Most mornings from 10 un-
til noon are spent in committee
meetings, Labor and Public Welfare,
Of which he is chairman; Finance
Committee, of which he is ranking
member; Joint Committee on the
Economic Report, of which he Is
chairman, and occasionally. when
the party lire needs clarifying, the
Republican Policy Committee, of
which he is chairman.
Most Of the afternoon, with time
out for lunch during the first hour
of routine business, is likely to be
spent in the Senate chamber if an
issue Of Importance is on the call
endar. That means he may be
on his feet much of the time, since
he is not inclined to sit silent during
a debate that interests him. He has
views on nearly all subjects and likes
to express them. Not in the least
he just talks, and talk
ing doesn't tire him. For that mat
ter, as uninspiring as his delivery Is,
he seldom wearieS his listeners.
The information and opinions he
pours out reveal the strength or
weakness of his groups position as
no sheer eloquence could do.
"Sure of Himself"

ates. knows more about more things
than any man in public life. He
retains everything he ever learns
and it comes out easily, without

GENEVA, Aug. %. - Britain
served notice today that she
would use escape clauses in the
newly adopted charter of the
proposed International Trade
Organization, in order to permit
continued preferential trade ar-
rangements with nations of the
British Commonwealth.
The American delegation to thu

ing a plenary meeting, referred ts

culties and added:
THE methods we may have tc
use in the intervening months anc

Pact Goes to Havana Farley.
The draft was adopted yester.
day in a unanimous action by the
II nations represented here. II
now goes before the World Trade
Conference at Havana, Cuba, in
November, for final action.
Mr.. Wilson said Britain, in hel
own case shall find it necessary
and desirable to have even closer
cooperation with the other coun-
tries of the commonwealth
1T is of the utmost importance
that We should not bring discredit
on the fundamental principles OF
nondiScriminatory multilateral trad
ing by attempting to move too far
and too fast in this difficult period
when many conditions essential for
such a system have not yet been
realized" Mr.. Wilson said.
Disillusi0nment Feared.
Clair Wilcox, American represen-
tative, said earlier that unless the
II nations here concluded a strong
agreement covering bilateral tar
ifs, the World Trade Conference at
Havana would convene in an at.
mosphere of cynicism and disillu-
sionment."
He told the International Trade
Conference that some 81 nations
probably would be represented al
the world conference in Havana.
If the tariff pact under negotia-
tion in Geneva "is q strong agree.
ment, success at Havana will be
virtually assured, and the world will
be able to face the future with 9
new hope" the American negotiation
said.
Mr.. Wilcox, vice chairman of thu
delegation headed by American
Undersecretary of State Clayton
spoke a day after delegates from
II nations adopted the charter fol
the proposed international Trade
Organization.
Compromise Not Yet Found.
The tariff negotiations, which
were carried on simultaneously
with discussions Of the charter
have been delayed principally be-
cause the United States and Aus
tralia could not find a compromise
between Australia's demand for
wool tariff reduction and Ameri-
can demands for tariff cuts on proc

Spivakovsky Brings New
Zest to Familiar Works
By Elena de Soyn

Tossy Spivakovsky's recital at the
Howard University last night was
prefaced by an announcement to
the effect that the violinist was re-
quested to play only the first part
of Beethoven's, "Kreutzer" sonata.
Due to its length and consideration
of the time it would take to hear the
entire program, the management
thought it advisable to make the
change. Under ordinary circum-
stances this curtailment should be
welcome, as repeated hearings of
this familiar work are often an or
deal. But the superb performance
of this movement by Mr.. Spivakov-
sky led only to regrets of what one
might have heard and missed.
That the violinist is an artist
who towers over many interpreta-
lively. may not be generally known.
