10 Take Up Problem
OF Trieste Governor
BY tho Asseeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Mar. 8.
l-Andrei A. Gronayko has unoficial-
ly advised several other Security
Council delegates that Russia will
be ready to take up the problem of
Ia governor for Trieste late this week,
1t was reported authoritatively today.
! Some sources expected Mr..
Gromyko to favor a man from East
lern Europe.
The Council has held up any
formal discussion pending Soviet
readiness to comment on list of
suggested candidates or make new
nominations. With Mr.. Gromyko
now about to state his choice, 1t was
expected that the Council would
move toward an early selection for
the SIC, ,o00-a-year post.
Requirements for Job.
Under terms Of the Italian peace
treaty, which still needs to be rati-
fed, the Governor must be able to
speak Italian or Slovene, the two
official languages of the free terri
tory. Also he must not be a citizen
of Trieste, Italy or Yugoslavia.
The United States, Russia, Great
Britain and France agreed at an in
formal session recently that the
nominee should not come from their
respective countries.
Alberto Lleras Camargo, former
President of Colombia, who has been
mentioned for the job, was said to
prefer the post of director general of
the Pan-American Union. That po-
sition will be filled early this month.
Albanian Case Sifted.
A three-man subcommittee of the
Council began sitting evidence be-
hind closed doors today on Britain's
charges that Albania committed a
crime against humanity" by sowing
mines in Corfu Channel.
/ AS representatives of Poland, Aus
tralia and Colombia took up their
task, Great Britain prepared to in
tensify her battle to force a decision
in the Council.
Sir Alexander Cadogan, British
delegate to the Council, will appear
before the subcommittee to elaborate
and clarity London's complain. Brit
| ish sources said he would attempt to
block any move to detour the case
to the International Court of Justice
without a prior Council finding
against the Tirana government.

man of the Republican National
Committee. purports to give Repub-
lican congressman, in today's press
release" Senator Morse began. "He
contends that Republican congress-
men should vote on issues in accord
ance with the wishes of the so-called
Republican leaders in Congress.
ut is Reece's fallacious contention
that unless Republican member
of Congress follows the Republican
leaders he does not engage in Re-
publican team play. A more brazen
demand for reactionary control of
the Republican party has not been
suggested by Republican spokes-
man for many years.
"As one Republican, I deny that

Carroll Reece serves as choreboy

would sell sound Republican pro-
gram short. 1t is Mr.. Reece and
the Republican machine for which
he speaks that would take us back
to the depression-causing economic
policies of the Republican Party OF
the 192Os.
"His group has demonstrated ir

ing the draft act on the books
President Truman warned that
without the incentive of selective
service it is mot certain" that the
Army and Navy will be able to
obtain the recruits they need te
maintain strength.
Now Is Time for Risk, However.
He pointed out that the Army
and Navy are still reducing their
forces and that the Army is not
using inductees for the full term
the law allows. Consequetly, he
added, a draft extension now would
be solely on the basis of predicted
shortages during the next year.
With recent Frightening In
recruiting prospects" the President
said, "this appears to be the logical
time to shoulder the risk involved. .
President Truman warned that
the strength Of the Army, including
the Air Forces, must be maintained
through the next fiscal year at l.
100000, and the Navy, including the
Marine Corps, at 571,0O0 "if this
nation is to have reasonable assur-
ance Of security" These figures
represent the size of the armed
forces fixed by Congress for July l.
1947, when it passed the Draft Ex-
tension Act last June.
These requirements are abso-

must not divest the War and Navy

The discharge of nonvolunteers
predicted by the President Is in line

assertion that draftees are the most
expensive soldiers the United States
has ever put into uniform. He has
been emphatic In his call for an
all-volunteer Army and has backed
1t by turning virtually all his recent
addresses into recruiting talks.
Although unused, the draft had
remained on the books because it
was considered to be spur to re.

to move forward with the Repub-

with the Republican reactionaries. u
Mr.. Reece's Republican News arti-
Gle which SO aroused Senator Morse
did not refer specifically to intra-
party differences but did contain
this appeal:
Every Republican in Congress
today represents both his party and
his individual constituency. It was
the party which elected him. He
is a member of a tearl-one which
he joined of his own free will and
with full realization of the respon-
.sibilities he was assuming.s
''He has vote, like every other
member, in the selection of the cap
tains of the team and, to carry the
figure one step further, in the selec-
ton of the quarterbacks.
"A successful team is one which
executes the signals called by the
duly chosen quarterback. Differ
ences of opinion as to the choice
of a particular play are ironed out
In the huddles before the plays are
called-not afterward. Team play
is the first essential of success"
