raw materials. This power would be extremely
doubtful 80 far as 1t would apply to the use Of
grains on the farms themselves. It would be
directed mostly toward professors Of food and
other raw materials. whose power to resist or
retaliate vote-wise would be small and who in
an election year could be made the scapegoats
for a further rise in prices. Then, having
pointed finger at these victims the Govern
ment could 60 into the market and buy for
Europe, regardless Of prices.
It Is likely that President Truman will follow
the latter course of action since 1t offers clear
road Of political cause and effect It would not
seriously ALLEVIATE the farm vote. It would leave
the way open to labor to demand higher wages.
It would lay blame upon professors who con-

Politically minded Democrats believe this
program will be hard for Republicans to resist
in Congress. II leaders like Taft and Martin
point to the real weaknesses Of the Luckman
plan, they will be asked to suggest better meth
ods Of saving grain. The answer, which is to
save grain now being eaten by livestock, will be
avoided by Republicans from agricultural States
They will try to avoid antagonizing the farmers
who put them in ofhce. They can hardly risk
the danger of Communist gains in Europe,
which would be ascribed to lack of help. Hence,
Democratic politicians hope that by presenting
the Republicans with these alternatives they
will make Truman's chances Of reelection cer
tain or almost certain.
Thus, the concern of the special session will
be mostly political and partly economic.

ported on the 18th day Of a re-
bellion which has cost scores OF

Andapa, $50 miles north Of Tana-

tage of bad flying weather to
concentrate their forces while
French reconnaissance planes were
grounded.
Authorities at Tananarive an

Deputies and one member of the
legislatures upper house, the Coun-
ell of the Republic. Charges against
the legislators we're not announced.

Planes were dispatched from An
talaha, on the coast so miles north
east Of Andapa, to deliver food and
ammunition to the beleaguered gar
rison.
The Andapa attack was the latest

March 81.
French administrators, whoAhave
declared the revolt would be speed

troop reinforcements from other

Africa where unrest also has
alarmed the French cabinet.
The Madagascar high commits
sioner Jean Coppet, declared in a

were "premeditated" by an island

Mr.. Wallace's attitude is most
Ihurtful to the purposes and poll

Mr.. Wallace "does not correctly in
terpret the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people and apparently, does not
understand what his own people
are thinking.
There were signs that the re-
sentiment Mr.. Wallace has aroused
at the Capitol will not subside

"No Contribution" to Unity.
Senator Vandenberg's mention OF
what Mr.. Wallace will do in 1948
apparently was reference to Mr..
Wallace's possible role in next years
presidential campaign. President
Truman said last week that he is
not reading Mr.. Wallace out OF the
Democratic Party.
However, Senator Lucas, Demo-
crat, Of Illinois, leader in the
party, told reporters that Mr.. Wall
lace is making mo contribution" to
American unity in a critical hour.
In putting the Wallace issue
squarely up to the White House,
Senator Moore said:
THE time has come for President
Truman to fully and finally repudi-
ate Henry Wallace and make 1t plain
to the United States, and particu-
larry the world beyond, that the for
mer Vice President does not speak

Wallace Renews Attack
On Greek, Turkish Aid

| MANCHES Eft, EsI1Slhllu, AptA ~
R.-Henry A. Wallace renewed q
slashing attack today on President
Truman's proposal to aid Turkey
and Greece, declaring it was COM
mitment ito rush to the aid Of every
dictator who noisted the anti-Com-
munist skull and bones"
The United States, the former vice
president charged, was being
directed along a road of ruthless
imperialism" reaching from China
| to the Eastern Mediterranean and
from pole to pole.
Progressive Declared Leaderless.
Speaking in this Midland's in
dustrial center on the second anni-
yersary of the death of President
Roosevelt, Mr.. Wallace said "25,-
100000 Americans who voted for
Roosevelt still live and work in
America" but progressive forces"
had been left leaderless and divided,
and control of the Government was
now in the hands Of men who be-
lieved the United Nations was
doomed to insignificance."
"These men, I suppose, remember
that 100000 Russians gave their
lives to defeat a Fascist dictatorship,
Mr.. Wallace said, "yet they believe
that Fascism and Communism are
similar evils
To-day the Government and Con-
gress of the United States are con-
trolled by men who believe that in
world in which Capitalism and
Communism live SIDE by side, there
is little hope for peace.
"They believe that the United
Nations is doomed to insignif1cance.
They believe Communism threatens
the world and must be stopped by
the power of American material and
arms"
Communism Is Powerful Idea"
This policy, he said, was futile
because Americans will never pay
the cost and cannot pay the cost"
mo powerful idea-and Com
munism is a powerful idea-can be
countered' by guns or money, ne
declared.
las long as workers live in slums,
as long as farmers struggle for a
bare existence, as long as all classes
live in fear of unemployment and
war, the idea of Communism will
endure it will be overcome
only when free societies demonstrate
in action that through democratic
planning they can offer better
opportunities for all their citizens.
Only men without faith in democ-
racy live in fear of Communism"
Mr.. Wallace criticized Russia for
factions which divided the world"
but he said he would engage in no
witch hunt against Communism"
"I believe that this witch hunt
is part of larger drive to destroy
the belief which I share, that capi-
talism and communism can resolve
their conflicts without resort to-
war"
Attacking proposals to aid Greece
and Turkey as the first down pay
ment "in the name of the struggle
of freedom" MIR. Wallace asked
these rhetorical questions:
Freedom for an mrepresentative
Greek government led by collaoora-
ZIONIST generals to execute boys of

full abuses of the reactionary
regime?
Freedom to maintain a Turkish
army of close to 1000, 600 men on

Russians borders, In q nation where
free trade unions and many basic
freedoms are suppressed"
Declaring "the Roosevelt spirit OF
joyous service to the future OF all
mankind" was alive and would rise
again In the United States, Mr..
Wallace said the American people
wanted peace but were not sure OF
how to use American power to
get It.
Later, at Freckleton, scene of one
of England's major war tragedies
where an American bomber fell on
a crowded school in 1914 and killed
38 children, Mr.. Wallace said he
hoped the world never again would
see 80 many bombers in the air
that one could find no place to
land except on the next genera
ton"
