Threaten Third Party
Nv the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, July Louis F.
Budenz, former editor of the Daily
Worker, official Communist news
paper, said yesterday the Com
munists are threatening the Tru-
man administration with a third
party as political blackmail."
Addressing the Kiwanis Inter-
national convention. Mr.. Budenz
said q statement in the June issue
of Political Affairs, which he de-
scribed as "the ofiicial theoretical
organ of the Communist Party in
America" proclaims virtual war
fare against the American Nation"
He said Political Affairs stated
that American imperialism is seek
ing to Hitlerize the world
ITO every trained Communist
that term is clear" Mr.. Budenz con-
tinued. TT means that the United
States must be fought to the bitter
end, and by every means at the
disposal of the Communist con-
spiracy.
ITO carry on this warfare against
the American Republic, the Com
munists further declare . that
they will conduct within our coun-
try a battle for peoples peace.
But what. pray, is a peoples peace? ?
It Is the peace, they declare, desired
by the Soviet dictatorship! 1t is a

Red Hits Gen. Collins
For Army Comparison
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

MOSCOW, July 2.-Lt.> Col. B.
Glebov, writing in the Soviet Army
newspaper Red Star, said today that
very many influential persons in
the United States" who were not
interested In the defeat Of Ger
many In the war now are "advocat-
ing military measures of enormous
scale"
Col. Glebov accused 1t. Gen. J.
Lawton Collins of exaggerating In
his comparative estimate of Amer
ican and Russian military strength
at the national convention of the
Reserve Officers Association. Gen.
Collins spoke in Miami, Fla, June
10.
Gen. Collins, chief Of the in
formation section of the United
States Army, declared, the writer
said. that the American Army now
had only 10 divisions. Gen. Collins
said the Russian Army had 200.
According to official American
figures" Col. Glebov went on, "the
number of ground forces of the
U. 8. A. exceeds half a million men.
Then what Is the number Of men
in these divisions?"
He said 1t was no accident that
Gen. Collins hadn't mentioned the
United States Navy, because this
was stronger than "all the fleets of
the rest of the capitalistic world"
" At present there isn't an
other state in the world which will
spend so much effort and means on
maintaining armed forces, on the
creation of new kinds of arms and
for other items in the military
budget" Col. Glebov wrote.

The havoc that planes, shells,

Near the airf1eld "a few miles

Pillboxes gaped where shells had
landed full on them. Roofs were
missing from long rows Of char
acterless low brick houses the Japa-
nese had built in the eastern sec

Wounded civilians and soldiers
still were being borne slowly through
the streets on litters. Dozens Of SOL

House Hearing on Merger
by fhs Associated Press

A protest against "smothering"
naval aviation rang the curtain
down yesterday on the House Ex-
penditures Committee hearings on a
measure providing for unif1cation Of
the Nations armed forces.
It came from Rear Admiral J. J.
Clark, chief Of naval operations for
air. who asserted that would be
the result If the Army and Navy
air forces are merged into a single
air arm.
Vice Admiral Gerald r. Began,
commander Of the Atlantic Fleets
air force, contended earlier that the
Navy has not been given an oppor-
tunity to state its case. He argued
that the Army Air Forces is PLAN
ming to absorb" naval aviation.
Chairman Hoffman said he had
heard that Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal lis swinging around to the
viewpoint OF those who oppose an
Independent air force"
With public hearings concluded, a
subcommittee of the House group
will draw up its version Of the uni

Junking Of SurpIuses
Seen by LiHIejohn if
Priorities Are kent

War Assets Administrator Robert
M. Littlejohn predicts that billions
in war surpluses will be relegated tc
"a political junkyard" If Congress
retains the present system of prior
tiles.
The WAA chief replied last night
to criticism of surplus property
subcommittee which accused WAA OF
deception in its transactions and
called for a shakeup in the agency
The subcommittee report was to
be placed today before the House
Expenditures Committee and the
latter group Is expected to give the
report It's stamp of approval.
Calls Report No Surprise.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Ridley, Republican.
Of Oklahoma, recommended reten-
ton of priorities which give prefer
ence on purchases of surplus war
goods to Federal agencies, veterans
and other groups.
Gen. Littlejohn maintained that
priority holders will have had ample
opportunity to exercise their rights by
the end Of this year. He asserted:
MY philosophy Is to sell out and get
out in the interest of the common
good, thereby giving the taxpayer
a break"
The WAA chief observed that the
subcommittee report. made public
last Saturday, came as no surprise
because the House group relied "for
the most part on an inexperienced
staff and disgruntled employees for
source data

Mr.. Ridley commented today that
his staff apparently must have done
a good enough job to get under his
skin"
Gen. Littlejohn said the public
was being led to believe the surplus
property program has been unsuc-
cessful. That Is not so," he de-
clared.
He said that of the $35, 600, ,000, 900
Of Government property left over
after World War II, about $4,000
900, 900 worth had been sold to vet
erans, industry and business. This

by Svend r. Sandgren, who was
quoted as saying the animals usually
were kept locked up in a bungalow

Hearing Set tuesday
On Bill TO Raise Pay Of
Top Federal Officials
By Joseph Young

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today scheduled hearings for
next week on the Flanders Bald
win measure to raise the salaries OF
top Government ofhcials.
Federal officials as we'll as leaders
in private industry are expected to
testify at the hearings, scheduled
to start on Tuesday.
Sponsors Of the measure, point
ing out that 1t would cost only about
$3.50 900, say they have hopes the
bill will be enacted into law this
year.
Both Senators Baldwin, Repubh-
can, of Connecticut, and Flanders
Republican, Of Vermont. point out
the high-caliber omciak that in
creased salaries would permit the
Government to attract and retain
would save the Government millions
of dollars in the long run. They
assert 1t would vastly improve
efficiency in the Government.
The Senators, who are members
of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, contend that the present
$4,000 Federal pay ceiling "just
doesn't make sense"
The bill would give raises rang
ing from $4,000 to $500 to agency
chiefs and their top assistants, rs
we'll as raise cabinet members sal
aries from the present $4,000 to
$40, 900 a year.
Meanwhile, Chairman LANCER of
the committee planned to seek
Senate action on the LANCER
Chavez Omnibus Civil Service Re-
tirement Bill when the Senate re-
turns from the July 4 weekend
holiday.
Sponsors of the measure realize
that time is going short, and failure
OF the Senate to act on the bill
next week would just about kill
chances of enactment this year
The bill also faces tough fight for
House action before Congress ad-
journs.
