New Foreign Policy Demands Present Armed Strength
o..r"uc1 ' on pa&r One

0...'N'lC1 ' on 'aGf One Of this general question.
 l. Should the planned average strengtl for the year beginn!1g ncx. July I of l,070,000 for the army and 57l.OOO for the navy be carried out or should the rate or reduction be checked to stabilize the armed services at a higher manpoWer figure?
 2. In this case, will Congress an7 the White House proceed with MT Tru m ans recommendation of March 3 that selective service be not renewed upon its expiration date of March 31?
 The nations military forces are of definitely modest proportions in the area where the new foreign policy focuses most sharply, the Mediterranean.
 WASHINGTON, tP)-President Truman overruled his top military manpower experts in advising Congress to let the wartime draft act expire at the end of this month.
 This became known today after chairman Gurney R.-S.DD made available to a reporter the trans cript of a closed door session of the Senate armed services committee.
 Gurney previously reported a committee decision to urge delay of at least three months in the transfer of draft records from local boards to state capitals because of the troubled world situation.
 The recorded testimony of Tues days committee meeting disclosed that both Maj. Gen. w. s. Paul, army chief of personnel, and Maj Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, conceded under questioning that they had recom- mended continuance of the draft.

 He spoke at a Conservative par ty meeting.
 If such step had been taken by the United States before the last war it would have stopped it" Britain'S wartime Prime Minister declared. If it had been taken af- ter the first war, still more would it have stopped it."

First Bargaining Elections

The MoSco10 radio, broadcasting in
English to North America, said:
The position of the U. S. S. r. on
the Palestine question has been
made quite plain in the U. N.
Assembly. The Soviet Union is
for having both the Arabs and
the Jews of Palestine live freely
and peacefully in a state of their
own. The position of the U. S. S. r.
in this question is the more sig
nificant because it is based on a
noble, theoretical stand on the
national question and on just as
noble practice in the u. S. S. r.
Can this be said of the posi-
ton of the other big powers in
this question? One can't help
noting what many newspapers
and journals believe about the
United States delegations posi-.
tion-that it is concerned not so
much with the idea of protecting
the rights of the Jews and Arabs
as with the special interests Of
the United States oil monopol;es

in Wisconsin
For Convention Votes
G. O. P. Prediction Test
Left to Dewey, Stossen,
Macarthur, Eisenhower
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio was reported today to have
decided to pass up the Wisconsin
presidential preference primary
Thus the first major battle of
the Republican denomination cam
paign likely will be fought there
among Gov. Dewey of New York.
former Gov. Stassen of Minnesota,
Gen. Macarthur and possibly Gen.
Eisenhower.
With Wisconsin law permitting
any candidates name to be entered
in the preference primary, with or
without his consent, politicians gen.
orally agree that Gen. MacArthur's
friends will battle for share of the
States q delegates to the Phila-
delphia national convention.
Macarthur May Return.
The April 6 date for the primary
may find Gen. Macarthur back in
this country from his tour of duty
in Japan. Any Homecoming celebra-
tions at that time are likely to
freshen Wisconsin voters recollec-
tions of the generals long war record
and his current administration of
occupation forces in the former
enemy country.
Gen. Macarthur has been some
thing of a favorite in Wisconsin
since 1914. That is the year Wendell
L. Willkie withdrew from the Re-
publican presidential nomination
race after failing to win a single
delegate in the primary after stump
ing the State.
With his name the only one on
the preferential ballot-as distin-
guished from the delegate ballot
Gen. Macarthur got 102,42l votes
that year. Voters wrote in Gov.
Deweys name 81 ,O36 times and gave
Mr.. Stassen 1928 and Mr.. Willkie
6,439 by the same method.
Gen. Macarthur got the support of
only three of the States 1914 total
of "a delegates. however, and Gov.
Dewey's ability to corral Is of them
despite the fact he did not campaign
gave the New Yorker a big shove
toward the nomination.
Mr.. StaSsen got the support of
four of the States delegates and
two were uncommitted. In the first
ballot at the convention % voted for
Gov. Dewey, but one held out to
cast his vote for Gen. Macarthur,
preventing Gov. Dewey's unan-
imous nomination.
Gov. Dewey apparently retains
much strength in the State, as evi-
denced by a poll of Republican
Party workers last June 81. He led
that test with 32l votes to 286 for
Mr.. Stassen and 157 for Gen. Mac
Arthur.
In the same poll Senator Taft,
whose announcement that he is an
active candidate for the l948 COP
presidential nomination is expected
to be made here and in Columbus
Friday, received 81 votes.
Subsequent checks are reported
to have convinced Senator Taft's
followers that the Ohio Senator
could hope to make better show
ing in the Wisconsin primary only
