Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan declared today that the
United States cannot wait too long
for final European peace pro-
gram if it finds agreement Is "be-
yond reasonable reach"
The chairman of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee said in a
statement he agrees with Secretary
of State Marshall's declaration in
his radio report to the Nation last
might that this country cannot Sur
render basic principles in payment
for compromise and expediency."
Secretary Marshall has honestly
faced realities Senator Vandenberg
declared. Peace lags because the
Soviets insist upon demands which
America and her other Allies cannot
accept 1t is worth supreme effort
to seek agreement during the com
ing smonths"
Supporting Gen. Marshall's stand
for basic principles, the Michigan
Senator continued;
HE also is right in frankly
Fstating that we and the world can
not indefinitely permit disintegratine
forces to threaten sound results. We
must still strive for united pro-
gram.
But if it is beyond reasonable
reach we cannot wait too long for
a peace program which at least
unites those who can agree"

The wholesale reduction in rank
applied to both air and ground off.
GERS, but not including the Medica

lower the number of colonies durins

OF the total to be denoted, 58s
will be Regular Army and 50 non

air officers. The War Department
announcement said that "non-Regu.
lar officers who decline to accept
demotion will be relieved from &C.
tive duty Immediately without pre-
judice." The proportion of reduc-
ton Is based on the ratio OF
Regular to non-Regular Army COL
onels.
A general exception to the demo-
ton order will be made in cases OF
officers who previously were reduced
in the general reduction last year.
In the case of Medical and Chap
lain Corps colonies, the department
said these branches will have fewer
colonies than authorized on the
basis OF the July l strength require
ments. The department said that
while there is no actual surplus OF

ment feels that it is more in keep
ing with realignment policy to re-
auce q number of Air Corps off,

District Move 10 End
Day Care Of Children

Without Such Centers,
Senator McGroth Says
By Don S. Worren

A finding by the District Com
missioners that the child day
care centers no longer are need
ed, now that the war is over,
today provoked a sharp clash at
a hearing before the Cooper
subcommittee of the Senate
District Committee.
| Vernon E. West, corporation coun-
sci, cited the impending deficit in
District finances as one reason why
the centers should not be continued
after June 80. If they are. he said
other activities must be reduced un-
less Congress provides expanded
revenues.
Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas urged passage of bill to
continue the centers for another
year, saying he found the program
had been generally indorsed.
Il am always interested in the
welfare of children everywhere, he
said. ...
McGrath Urges Centers.
Senator McGrath. Democrat, of
Rhode Island, co-author of the bill
with Senator Capper, said he sin
cere1y believed in the necessity and
social desirability" of the centers
He added he could not conceive of a
city OF a million population not hav-
Ing a program of this kind
The Commissioners were taken
sharply to task by Senator McGrath
for not personally attending the
hearing.
| When Mr.. West explained that
the Commissioners had other hear
ings today and that one of them
had an engagement to participate
in the welcome of President Aleman
Of Mexico, Senator McGrath re-
| torted:
II should think the welfare OF
some 400 children of working moth
ers would be of more Importance to
the Commissioners than partici-
pating in the welcoming ceremo-

Demands Alternatives"
He asked Mr.. West to serve notice
on the Commissioners he would ex-
pect them to outline what Their
alternatives were If they opposed

to be excused, since he was there

Daylight Saving
Hearing IsSIated

Sessions Are Planned
Week After 'Certoin'
Signing of Bill

Assured of President Truman's
prompt approval of legislation
authorizing them to give WASH
ington daylight saving time, the
District Commissioners today
decided tentatively to open a
public hearing on the matter
one week after the measure is
signed.
! The bill had not reached the
White House this morning, but Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross said Mr..
Truman would approve it as soon as
it reached his desk.
In announcing their hearing plans.
the Commissioners said they vera
based on the assumption the Presi-
dent would sign the local option
bill.
The measure was passed bv the
House yesterday by vote of 218 to
As and won unanimous approval
IN the Senate less than an hour
later.
To- Test Sentiment of Whole Area.
The only change made in the
measure rs it received final action
on Capitol Hill was approval of a
House amendment requiring the
commissioners to give a hearing to
the views of residents of neighbor.
Ing counties of Maryland and Vir-
glnla, as we'll as the people of the
District.
This amendment. by Representa-
tive Wadsworth. Republican, of New
York was promptly accepted by
Chairman Dirksen of the House Dis
trict Committee, and short time
later was accepted without debate
on the Senate side.
Mr.. Dirksen, Republican, of n
linols piloted the bill through the
House yesterday over what had an.
peared to be insurmountable op-
position from members of the House
1arm bloc. He received staunch
support from both Republicans and
democrats, from urban and rural
! districts.
No ouJcCtiOn IN Senate.
IL was done over heated opposition
from some farm bloc members, but
on the f1nal roll call the vote was
ZIG to l45. This was a sharp reversal
OF the recent House action in knock
Ing down the original. mandatory
daylight saving measure by a vote OF
210 to l24.
The amended measure was sent to
the Senate with surprising speed.
Received there, Chairman Buck of
the Senate District Committee and
Senator McGrath, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, the latter the author.
made quick study of the Wads-
worth amendment. They found IL
quite satisfactory.
Within an hour after the House
had acted, Senator McGrath took
the Senate floor and called up the
House amended bill. 1t went sailing
through without debate and without
a single objection. Capitol Hill
officials said the enrolled bill would
be on the desk of President Truman
sometime this morning.
Senator McGrath, who fathered
the flrst daylight saving bill as well
as the revised measure finally
adopted, said I'm delighted to have
had personal part in this. But

President Truman today rein
forced his drive to lower the cost

lea ding businessmen their
pressing task" Is to reduce
prices wherever possible at all
levels while steadily increasing
production"
The Presidents message was con-
tanned in a letter to delegates to the
35Ch annual meeting of the United
States Chamber of Commerce which
is being held at chamber head
quarters here. It was read to the
delegates this morning by Presf-
Dental Assistant John r. Steelman
The chambers policy committee
will introduce resolution to the
delegates for their action later to-
day as result of the letter, a
spokesman said. He indicated the
resolution would suggest chamber
members go on record as supporting
lower prices wherever possible
Would Eliminate Waste.
by careful planning, the Presi-
dents letter said, "by elimination
of Wasteful methods and practices,
by expanding facilities where need
ed, and by increasing productivity
businessmen can greatly help in dis
pelling the infiationary cloud now
hanging over us.
THE United States has long been
known for It's success in the mass
production of goods at low prices
by well-paid workingmen and won1-
en- who themselves make up the
greater portion of the market for
the goods they produce. On this
firm foundation we must and will
move forward to an ever freer and
expanding system of private enter
prise"
Three speakers at today's lunch
con meeting at the Hotel Statler said
the principles on which the Ameri-
can economic system is based have
not been taught widely enough either
at home or abroad.
DR.. Henry c. Link said people have
become more and more conscious"
OF the faults of free enterprise and
the American system generally and
less and less conscious of its
merits
"Socialism-including the so-called
Christian Socialism-cannot even
get started until it steals the proper
5y and freedom of its citizens" he
said.
Educational System Criticized.
He described the American educa-
tional system as "the most elaborate
plan ever conceived for obscuring
and even denying the elementary
facts of life Educators, however,
are not to blame, he said, but we
ourselves, because while we have
supported education with our dollars
we have neglected to guide It with
our principles
Leonard w. Trester, director of
public policy. General Outdoor Ad-
vertising Co., Inc, Omaha, Nebr.,
said Americans do not know "ex-
actly what their own economic sys-
tenn stands for, what its basic prin-
ciples are or in what important ways
it differs from other systems"
Arthur M. Hill, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Grey
hound Corp, Charleston, w. Va,
said living standards could rise in
"a free economy, but were static or
downward" under collectivism.
Why not meet our theological
competitors by the same means we
use in advertising our products?"
he asked. That means, he con-
tinued, is to persuade and prove
value. mot use propaganda un-
founded on fact because we real
