With Gov. Dewey for
Wisconsin Delegates
By 6ould Lincoln

Former Gov. Harold E. Stassen
lof Minnesota, announced can
didate for the Republican preS1-
Dental nomination, made it
clear today, in response to a
question, that if he failed to land
first place on the party's ma
tional ticket he would consider
accepting vice presidential
nomination if it came to him.
If you fail to secure the presi-
dental nomination." Mr.. Stassen
was asked, would you consider run
ming for vice presidential nomina-
ton at the Republican National
Convention?'
1T would depend" replied Mr..
Stassen, on who the presidential
candidate is to be and what the
platform contains"
He added that he had every in
tention of making an all-out drive
for the presidential nomination and
that he is not to be considered
candidate for Vice President.
implications Significant.
Nevertheless. the political impli-
cations are significant. Mr.. Stassen
lis an attractive figure, with great
record as Governor of Minnesota
and as an officer OF the Navy in the
recent war. He has big personal
following throughout the country.
He appeals to the more progressive
group In the Republican Party and
to many independents. 1t is con-
ceivable. therefore, that any candi-
date for the presidency nominated
by the national convention next
June would welcome Mr.. Stassen as
a running mate.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York has been given the best chance
for the presidential nomination by
many political observers, as of today.
Geographically, a Stassen nomina-
ton for vice president would meet
political requirements, which usually
seek to balance a party national
ticket with one candidate from the
East and another from the Middle
West or West.
| Mr.. Stassen said today that his
main concern was Republican ma
tional victory within the party"
and that he was perfectly willing to
do his utmost to bring such a VIC
ftory about whether he did so as a
precinct worker, candidate for Pres
ident or for Vice President.
Advocates "True Liberalism"
"There is nothing new in my atti-
tude,' said Mr.. StaSsen.
He refused to discuss possible
candidates for the presidency with
whom he would be willing to run.
His views regarding Republican
national platform, however, he said,
were well understood. His effort is

U. 5. Opposes Demant
By Russia for Action
To Free Palestine
Protests Mandatory
Ideas in Instructions
To U. N. Committee
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, May 10.
The United States today op-
posed a Russian demand that
the proposed United tions in
quiry commission submit a plan
for the immediate independence
of Palestine.
Herschel v. Johnson, deputy
American delegate, told the General
Assembly's 55-nation Political Com
mittee that injecting mandatory
ideas into the commission instruc-
tions might prejudice the final
issues"
Mr.. johnson was the opening
speaker ss the committee resumed
debate over the instruction and
makeup of the special body.
Opposed to Mandatory Plan.
"Tf1e United States feels strongly
tf:at nothing smandatory should be
placed on the commission except to
investigate Palestine in all aspects
and formulate recommendations for
the next Assembly" Mr.. Johnson
said. eve do not feel that insertion
into the terms Of reference of par
ricular ideas would be helpful"
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Gromyko retorted that Russia was
not attempting to impose upon the
committee the study OF any one
idea," and noted that all delegates
seemed agreed on ultimate inde-
pendence for Palestine. He said it
was thus logical to write his point
into the instructions.
Should the Russian proposal be
included IN the inquiry groups terms
Of reference, the commission would
specifically be instructed to submit
plan to the regular session of the
Assembly for action in September.
Long Hard Course.
If the Assembly then approved the
plan Palestine would be declared an
independent state-provided, of
course, that Great Britain-which
holds the Holy Land under a League
Of Nations mandate-accepted the
decision.
Most delegates agreed that 1t
would probably be long, hard road
before Palestine is actually declared
an Independent state.
The Soviet proposal appeared due
to draw the fire Of the United States
and Britain. They want merely to
give the inquiry commission broad
instructions and evade specific terms.
But the Arab states and possibly
India were ready to back the Soviet
proposal.
Mr., Gromyko tossed the issue to
the Political Committee yesterday in
the midst of preliminary discussions
Of instructions for the investigating
body.
On-Scene Inquiry Asked.

U. s. Reported Ready
To Lend Iranians
20 10 80 Millions
Credit Would Be Used
For Surplus American
Military Equipment
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN, MAY 10.-A high
diplomatic source said today the
United States had tentatively
agreed" to advance the Iranian
government a S20,000,000 to
| $50, 100000 credit for the pur-
chase of American surplus mill
tary supplies and equipment.
The informant said preliminary
drafts Of the proposal. drawn up in
Washington, were now in the hands
of Premier Ahmed Qavam and
United States Ambassador George
I v. Allen for further study before
presentation to the incoming parlia-
ment, which is now being elected.
The draft is reliably said to con-
tain a list for. the sale of planes,
tanks and artillery shells, but an
Iranian official said that "by far the
greatest percentage" Of items pro-
posed the purchase of badly needed
shoes, blankets, tens and other non
combat supplies"
Ambassador Allen said In an in
terview:
Negotiations Under Way.
Negotiations for the Iranian pur-
chase of American Army surplus
supplies are taking place here ard
in Washington.
"A proposal of the Iranian govern
ment to purchase such supplies is
similar to numerous other proposals
which have been made to the Amer
lean government by various foreign
countries, and is being dealt with in
similar manner,
II wish to emphasize that Amer
ican surplus supplies are sold to for
eign governments only upon the
clearly expressed desire of those gov
ernments. The American Govern
ment presumes and understands
that Iran would use such supplies
to maintain internal security, and to
defend the country in case of need
from any foreign aggression"
Shah Approves Deal.
Diplomatic sources generally are
in agreement that both Qavam and
the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlevi,
favor the purchase, and say that the
military mission which left here
March 20 to negotiate the deal, held
royal approval in addition to the
Prime Minister'S commission"
Most political observers, however,
express the belief that the proposal
may hit snag in parliament. Newly
elected deputies from strong tribal
areas oppose any strengthening Of
the Army, and a member of the
powerful Ghashgai tribe said that
the tribesmen have agreed" to op-
pose the military loan.
The State Department said dis
cussions with an Iranian military
purchasing mission are still in the
negotiating stage
An official told a reporter a final
agreement may be reached early
next week. possibly by Wednesday.
The Iranian group arrived in
Washington April 10, to buy surplus
military equipment through the
Foreign Liquidation Commission for
the purpose of maintaining internal
security with IRAN
