President Signs Bill
To Keep Wool Support
Through Next Year
BY the Associated Press

President Truman today signed q
wool price support bill shorn of
controversial provisions that had
led him to veto an earlier version.
The new law will continue sup
port prices on domestic wool at the
1916 level until December 81, 1913.
Payments to wool growers will be
made by the Commodity Credit
Corp.
The first wool bill passed at the
last session of Congress would have
authorized import fees on foreign
wool. in addition to the existing
tariff, as means of bolstering the
support program.
This provision drew stiff protests
from Secretary of State Marshall
and other State Department Of
f1cials. They saw the move as
threatening the success of the
Geneva trade conference, then
under way, and said 1t would jeop-
ardize future reciprocal trade agree
mentS.
Backing up the State Department,
Mr.. Truman labeled the bill un-
satisfactory and sent 1t back to
Congress. He indicated in his veto
message, however. that he would be
willing to 60 along with simple
price support measure.
This was what he received and
what he signed today.
Proponents of the wool bill de-
clared during congressional hear
ings that the domestic wool indus
try cannot compete against foreign
growers without protection. Fail
ure to grant support prices for their
products, they said, would mean the
liquidation of the domestic industry.

NLRb Field Directors
Quit Over Labor Act
By the Assoeiofed Press

Oscar S. Smith and John P. Chap
man, director and associate director
respectively, of the field division OF
the National Labor Relations Board
resigned yesterday. Both linked
their action to the new Taft Hartley
labor law.
Mr.. Smith wrote in his letter OF
resignation that since passage of the
law, "the boards case input has
fallen almost to the vanishing point. u
He said the law makes a reorgan-
ization necessary and that this is a
good time to leave.
Mr.. Chapman wrote that "the
basic administrative changes result
ing from passage Of the Taft Hartley
Act have, in effect, eliminated the
field division"
The new law shifts much of the
responsibilities of the NLRB in su-
pervising collective bargaining to
the general counsel.
Mr.. Smith, a native of Austin,
Mimi, joined the NLRB in 1887 as
a field examiner in Chicago. Mr..
Chapman Joined the same year, as a

ANKARA, July 80 (by AirmaiD.-
A confidential report which has
come into the hands of this CORE
spondent reveals that, after per.
suading Turkey to enter into ar
alliance with Britain and France In
the spring of 1899, Soviet Russia
urged the Ankara government to
abandon the Western Allies at the
beginning Of the war and to support
the Russo-Nazi pact.
The document, which might well
be considered the forerunnar to the
White Paper which the Turkish gov
ernment is expected to issue, justi-
flying its failure to participate in
the shooting war against the Axis,
can be fully vouched for as it comes
from highest quarters.
To quote from the report: Seeing
that war was imminent, Turkey had
seen fit to show leanings toward
Great Britain and France. To this
end, she asked for Russia's point of
view. Russia advised Turkey to en-
ter into an alliance with England
and France. So Turkey signed such
an alliance and joint declaration
was issued publicly in May, 1899.
Meanwhile, the war drew ever
nearer. The statesmen of Great
Britain and France went to Moscow
to confer with the Russians. In
the meantime the Russians, on then
own initiative, were already in
touch with the Nazis. At last, on
August %, 1899, Russia allied her
self to Germany. This constituted
a great revolution in Soviet foreign
policy.
Russia now launched q policy OF

Reds Urged Turks to Join Nuzis
In 1899, Secret Report Shows

| persuading Turkey to drop the Brit
ish and the French and to join the
Russian-Nazi camp.
1.-The question now arises as to
why Russia decided upon this change
OF policy (vis-a-vis Turkey. The
answer to that seems to be that
Russia, by joining Turkey to the
Anglo-French group, left the Ger
mans more isolated than ever, and
thus placed herself in better posi-
ton to bargain for terms in the
forthcoming alliance between the
U. S. S. R. and the Reich. But
once Russia had evidently made
full use of this tactic she felt that
Turkey should drop her allies and
join the Russo camp. Un-
able to persuade Turkey to do so,
Russia then decided to see that
Turkey in no way participated in
hostilities."
The report then cites a provision
in the Turkish alliance with the
British and French that Turkey,
which promised to render military
assistance in the event the war
spread to the Mediterranean peri
meter, under no circumstances would
be compelled to taAe any action
which could adversely aff,ct or be
considered contrary to the interests
of the Soviet Union.
Since the U. S. S. r. was an ally
OF the Reich until June af 1oA1
Turkey could not under the circum-
stances be asked to come into the
war on the Allied side. Moreover,
since France fell just as Italy came
into the war and when Turkeys
help might otherwise have been in
voked under the terms of the alli-
ance, 1t was decided after consulta-
ton with the British to remain hors
de combat, in any event.

Hirsehberg Invented
Story Of Jap Wife, He
Tells Court-MartiaI
By the A..osiatsd Pr..,

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Chief Sig
mailman Harold E. Hirshberg, %, told
a Navy court-martial board he in
vented a Jap prison camp story that
he had Japanese wife, a story that
enabled him to get favors for him
self and the Americans in the prison
work section he supervised
Hirshberg took the witness stand
yesterday to defend himself against
charges that he maltreated fellow
prisoners In japanese camps in the
Philippines. He was to be cross-ex-
amined today.
While the story of a japanese wife
caused the other prisoners to "be-
come cool to me-" Hirshberg said, he
was afraid to tell either Americans
or Japs that his story was false be-
cause Il was sure would be shot"
The story persisted through l943 and
until the petty officers transfer to a
coal mine in Japan in September.
1914.
Il felt terrible that my men
thought of me as they did, that my
patriotism was being questioned,
that I was an alleged lover of the
JapS, but there was nothing I could
do," Hirshberg testified.
Hirshberg said that in December,
1912, or January, 1943, while he was
at Nelson Field. near Manila, jap
guard caught him carrying a let
ter which he was trying to smuggle
to q Filipino girl in Manila.
II told him it was a letter going
to my wife," Hirshberg said. Il also
told him she was a japanese girl"
The letter got through, he said.
The Japs became more friendly to
him. He was permitted to take his
work section to outside jobs where
they could contact Filipino workmen
and get food and news, and through
his contact he obtained food, such
as eggs, bananas and peanuts, and
cigarettes, coconuts, wearing ap-
parel and money"
Hirshberg said he was not married
to the Filipino girl. That he was
married for the first time on March
II, 1916. when he married a Brook
lyn girl. They have an infant son.
