Miller Asks Revision
OF Surplus Rulings 10
Aid Small Agencies
by the Associoted Press

EASTON. Md, Aug. 23,-Repre-
sentative Miller, Republican, of
Maryland, has asked Director j.
Milton Patterson of the Maryland
Department of Public Welfare to
revise regulations which prevent
smaller welfare institutions from
getting surplus commodities under
the Governments price-support
buying program.
Mr.. Patterson previously explained
that the department authorizes bulk
purchases to larger institutions but
cannot sustain the expense neces-
sary to handle the authorization of
less-than-carload lots to smaller
agencies.
Mr.. Miller had inquired about
getting a dozen bags or so of surplus
potatoes for the Eastern Shore
Children's Home at Easton, where
some children are cared for.
Il am advised that farmers can
purchase potatoes in relatively small
quantities at nominal cost for feed
ing livestock" the first district Con-
gresham wrote Mr.. Patterson.
Maryland officials of the PRODUCE
tion and Marketing Administrat ton
explained they are authorized to
sell the potatoes for livestock feed
ing in lots down to so bags.
They operate under regulations
which stipulate that sales to chari-
table institutions must be cleared
through a regional Office of the
Food Distribution Administration in
New York.
Through the Welfare Board, the
Production and Marketing Admins
tration sold at least seven carloads
of Eastern Shore potatoes to the
Maryland penal system for l cent
a bag
Joseph H. Blandford, head of the
State Production and Marketing
Division, said the remainder Of the
potatoes bought at Pocomoke City
either were sold for livestock feed
or made available to the Food Dis
tribution Administration and that
none had been destroyed.
The Government is paying S2.40
hundred pounds for surplus po-
tatoes which grade u S. No. and
halt that amount for poorer grades.
Before August the price was $3.50
and sl.30.

House Survey Warns
Against Symptoms
OF fFascism in u. ).
BY the Asseeioted Press

A Congressional survey yesterday
sized up Fascism abroad as doc
trine "couched in violence" with a
program based on aggressive preju-
dice" and Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas, said there are
strong symptoms" of it in the
United States.
The study, entitled "Fascism in
Action" was authorized by the
House after months of controversy
and was made by the Legislative
Reference Service of the Library
of Congress.
Except for a foreword by Mr..
Patman, who requested the survey,
the bulky report deals entirely with
the history and operation Of fascism
in other countries, mainly Germany
and italy. It's purpose is to call
the attention of Americans to what
happened abroad and alert them to
possible dangers at home.
Seek to Work Within Law.
The document notes that Fascist
groups try to accomplish their ends
within the law, but If that proves
impossible they simulate legality
for their actions"
Thus the German constitution
may have been violated by Hitler
when he combined the two offices
of Chancellor and President the
study continues. But that
same constitution gave the Presi-
dent powers to suspend the laws
and constitution in times of emer-
gency and thus open the door Of
legality to most of Hitler's acts.
That was also true of Mussolini
He acquired control seemingly
within the framework of the italian
constitution"
Mr.. Patman said that to most
Americans the threat of Fascism
vanished with the defeat of Ger
many and Japan, and added:
yet there are many strong symp-
toms of fascism in our own demo-
cratic society. True, this movement
in the United States nasquerades
under other names than the dis
credited one of fascism, but what
ever it may be called, its peculiar
characteristics are alarmingly evil
dent"
Mass Sedition Trial Cited.
Mr.. Patnan named no individuals
or organizations directly. but said
the present activity of the 26 de-
PENDANTS in the mass sedition trial
of 1914 is a case in point" Of how
exposure of Fascist operations may
attract new adherents." He did not
elaborate on this.
Despite this possibility, Mr.. Pat
man urged that every means be used
to combat fascism in this country.
He said the best weapons are:
Full utilization Of the educational
system, maintenance of full employ
ment, increased national income
and equitable distribution of it, an
alert organized labor movement be-
cause labor "has more to fear from
fascism than any other group" and
honest and efficient operation of the
democratic form of government.
The report defines fascism as a
philosophy and way of life
which requires that its followers
serve the state with an unwaver-
ing faith and an unquestioning
obedience"
The study is a companion piece
to an earlier survey called Com
munism in Action" The new re-
port cites a, number of features
termed common to both communism
and fascisn, and explains that thif
was included "lest the Communists
enormously take any aid or. COM
fort from exposing the other ma
ior form of tntalitarianisr1."

British Plan TO Send
.4,4OO Jews 10 France
After Reaching Reich
sv the Associased Press

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The British
disclosed today they planned to sent
the 4.400 Jews from the ship Exodus
1e47 back to France via the British
zone of Germany, provided the
French government gives its con.
sent.
In statement which attacked the
Zionist propaganda machine" as
having caused the Jews to refuse tc
| land in France, the Foreign Office
said the British had asked the
French government to receive the
Jews into France by train from the
British zone.
The Jews sailed yesterday foi
Hamburg from Port de Bouc ir
Southern France after they refused
to land voluntarily in France. They
had appealed to President Truman
to "help get us back to Palestine.
from whose shores they had beer
turned back because they lacked
immigration certificates.
Request Made Through Envoy.
The British request, made through
their Ambassador in Paris, Alfrec
Duff Cooper, said in part:
His majesty's government are
well aware Of the part which hui
manitarian considerations have
played in the decision of the French
government not to cooperate ir
obliging the illegal immigrants tt
disembark at Port de Bouc.
They feel confident that, basine
themselves on the same considera,
tions, the French government will
be glad to accept this suggestion
with the object of relieving further
suffering"
The statement said also tha
Britain trusted" that Jewish lead.
ers now would seriously consider
whether they are justified in con,
tinuing to obstruct the return ol
these illegal immigrants to France.
The British move to send the jews
back to Germany met with wide
protest from Jewish groups.
Three Rayol Navy transports or
which the Jews mad spent AZ days
set sail from Port de Bouc last night
for the 17-day voyage to Germany
The ships sailed with expiration o1
a British ultimatum that the refu-
gees either must leave the ships OF
be taken to Hamburg in the British
zone.
Action Based on Legal Claim.
The British action was based or
the legal claim that the Jews shoulc
be returned to France, since that
was the country from which they
embarked for Palestine.
If the French approve the Brit
ism request it was assumed the
Jews would be held in former pris-
oner-of-war camps in Germany
then be compelled to board train!

leave voluntarily.
A Foreign Office spokesman re.

what would happen to the Jews i
the French refused to receive them
The spokesman said the French
had never withdrawn their offel
of asylum to the Jews, and he as
surned the French would not refuse
the request. ...... ..

Jews Ask Trumon's Aid
In Gettinq to Palestine

PORT DE BOuC, France, Aug.
o tP.-About 4,400 European Jews
were en- route to Hamburg today
after they appealed to President
Truman to help us to get to Pales-
tine
Three Royal Navy transports on
which the Jews already had spent 40
days set sail from this little Mediter-
ranean port last night with the eX-
piration of a British ultimatum that
the refugees either must leave the
ships or be taken to Hamburg in the
British zone.
The transports-the Runnymede
Park, Empire Rival and Ocean
Vigour-had an escort of four men
of war.
Message Sent to Truman.
Almost simultaneously with the
departure, French police sent Presi-
dent Truman a message written by
the Jewish passengers and paid for
by a Jewish relief organization.
This message protested that the
Jews, who called themselves "sur-
vivors of Europe's crematoriums. y
had been threatened with forcible
debarkation at Hamburg and called
on "you. the President Of the most
powerful Nation on earth, to help
us in our hour of need"
The Jews were trying to reach
Palestine without immigration per-
mits when the British headed off
their ship, Exodus 1947. on July 1o.
They were brought back to France
but refused to disembark.
President Truman referred to the
State Department today the appeal
from 4.400 Jewish refugees aboard
three British transports en- route to
Hamburg.
Presidential Secretary Charles G.
Ross told reporters this appeal,
along with others of a similar ma
ture, was sent to the State Depart
ment. There was no indication what
action, If any. the United States
would take.
