Marshall May Accept
Tariff Bill as Result
OF Vandenberq Split
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

Secretary of State Marshall and
Senator vandenberg. Republican, of
Michigan, the chief promoters of
Bipartisan cooperation on recent
Foreign poiicy-are closer to a major
split right now than they ever
have been.
The issue is the tariff cutting
Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act.
As a result, State Department
officials may swallow their objec-
tions to the newly-voted revival bill
and recommend that President Tru-
man accept rather than veto it.
II Gen. Marshall determines on
that course, he probably will have
to overrule his former Undersecre-
tary and now special adviser, Will
Clayton.
Feels Bill Is Inadequate.
Mr.. Clayton, who fought the trade
act battle in Congress, has been
described as feeling that the bill
which went to the White House
yesterday is wholly inadequate to
continue a workable tariff reduction
program.
Senator Vandenberg helped write
the compromise measure and ar
gued in the Senate that its limita-
tions would not injure the tariff
cutting project.
The Michigan Senator further
more had some rather uncompli-
mentary things to say about the
State Department.
He called its attitude toward the
revival bill stubborn" and said he
was shocked" to learn that the
department had refused to give
Senators certain foreign trade rec
ords.
Still Studying Bill.
Mr.. Clayton and his aides still are
studying this bill as finally passed.
But from early private comments
there seems to be no doubt that Mr..
Clayton's impulse is to label it un-
workable and to urge that the Pres
ident veto 1t.
Since Senator Vandenberg is on
record, however, as insisting that
the measure is workable, diplomatic
aides say Gen. Marshall and Mr..
Truman may hesitate to take a
completely contradictory position
against the man who has done the
most to put through their most i'm
portant foreign policy proposals.

Segregation Of Mexieans
In Texas Schools Banned
By the Assoeioted Press


AUSTIN, Tex. June l6.-Federal
Judge Ben Rice yesterday ordered
Texas schools to stop segregation of
Latin-American children.
The court enjoined such segre-
cation except for first graders. In
this exception the court ruled that
beginners could be segregated to
teach them the English language.
The ruling was made in a suit
brought in behalf of 20 children of
Latin American descent who
charged discrimination through
segregation in four Central Texas
school districts.
The decree declared the districts
had violated the constitutional
rights of the Mexican pupils as
guaranteed by the 14th amendment

Diabetes Association
OPENS Drive 10 Detect
.Unsuspeeting Victims

For every four known sufferers
of diabetes there are three who
don't even know they have it.
To try to find these unknown vic
tins, the American Diabetes Asso-
citation has launched a long-range
detection drive, through local dia-
betes groups. The first phase, dur
ing next week, will be an education
al drive to present the story of dia-
betes and what can be done. about it.
DR.. Hugh L. Wilkerson, Public
Health Service diabetes division
chief, will address diabetes in a
meeting at 2 pm. Tuesday at the
District Medical Society auditorium.
The group will be urged to develop
a community education program
about the disease. DR.. Frank Allen
of the Lahey Clinic, Boston, also
will speak.
New Survey Under Way.
At an pm. meeting Tuesday for
the city's doctors, DR.. Wilkerson will
speak on Diabetes Control Objec-
tives" and DR.. Allan will talk on
Diabetes and the Role of the Cen
eral Practitioner"
DR.. Wilkerson headed recent
survey at oxford, Mass, which re-
vealed that for every four known
diabetes there were three unknown
victims. A later survey showed the
same results in Brookline, Mass,
and another study is under way now
at Jacksonville, Fla.
DR.. John A. Reed, president of the
District Diabetes Association, said
the first step in the detection drive
will begin with families of dabeticS,
since the disease is common in
families.
Meanwhile, a simple new 5-minute
blood test to detect the disease has
been developed. A large drug man
ufacturing firm. DR.. Reed said, is
planning to distribute kits for the
test throughout the Nation for local
campaigns.
Discovery Of Insulin.
Before the discovery of insulin,
DR.. Reed said, nearly every victim
of diabetes under 20 years of age
died within a year after contracting
the disease. Older victims, in many
cases, could be kept alive on very
restrictive diets, but they often sui
fered blindness, hardening of the
arteries, gangrene and other severe
ailments.
Thanks to insulin, however, "it
should be the philosophy of every
diabetic that his normal daily
activities are the same as his neigh
Dor who has no diabetes" DR.. Reed
said. The only exceptions are the
regime of a diet-restricting sugars
and starches-and, if necessary, in
sulin.
There also is evidence, DR.. Reed
added, that 40 to so per cent OF
victims who have to take insulin
gradually can get away from its use
entirely. The earlier the disease is
detected, he said, the greater is the
chance of q normal life, through
diet.

COP. Pledge 10 Audit
New Administration
Draws McGrath's Fire
By Gould Lincoln

Chairmen of the Democratic
and Republican National Com
mittees indulged in a heated
postelection exchange today.
1t was set off by Chairman Hugh
Scott. jr., of the Republican COM
mittee in a letter to $4,000 party
workers throughout the country
promising that Republicans in Con-
gress will audit and police" the
new administration under President
Truman.
Calling on the party workers to
slug toe-to-toe, dav in and day out
with the demagogues," Representa-
tive Scott, a member of the Penn
sylvania delegation, added:
I'VE have lost battle with the
radical spendthrifts and their alien
philosophy of government. But we
have not lost the war"
Learned No Lesson.
This brought an immediate re-
tort from Senator McGrath of
Rhode Island, chairman of the
Democratic committee.
apparently the Republican lead
ership as it is now constituted has
learned no lesson from the Novem-
ber 2 election" Senator McGrath
declared
Saving that Mr.. Scott's letter
spells out stand-pat Republican,
ISM" the Democratic leader added:
He does not recognize the power
of the people. He still expresses
opposition to all the things the
people themselves have given the
Democratic Party a mandate to
carry out"
In his letter, Mr.. Scott promised
the party leadership will be "aggres-
sive, positive and responsive to the
will of the people Of this country,
almost one-half of whom have al
ready expressed their confidence
in u.s."
Republic Still Stands.
Mr.. Scott's letter was the first
lengthy pronouncement by the ma
tional chairman since the defeat Of
the Dewey Warren ticket and the
overthrow of the Republican Con-
gress.
The republic still stands" Mr..
Scott wrote, even though some
Republicans may wonder what holds
it up. 1t would seem that the bu-
reaucratic red tape, of which we
spoke so often. possessed certain
adhesive quality"
The national chairman promised
that his party would have a pro-
gram to offer which would be both
Republican and popular, with a
bread base of popular appeal He
insisted the party had such pro-

gram on November 2-election day
but that I'VE failed adequately
and aggressively to sell it," This
was interpreted today as a slap
at the Dewey campaign and Her
bert Brownell, Dewey campaign
manager, whether 1t was SO in
tended or not.
Won't Appease Radicals.
Mr.. Scott declared the Republican
party would not, in its program,
undertake to compete with the
Democratic Party "in pressure
bribery nor in appeasement of the
radicals of the far left"
Then Mr.. Scott said with empha-
sis:
"Of necessity, and quite properly,
during the next two years the policy
of the Republican party will be fixed
by the votes of its members in Con-
gress."
Outlines Activities.
The activities of the Republicans
will fall into two categories, he said.
First, they will oppose those pro-
posals by the Democrats which ap-
pear injurious to the national well
fare and inconsistent with the prin-
ciples of the Republican party.
Second. they will remind the
country constantly of the campaign
pledges made by President Truman,
among them promise to bring
down prices, pledge of total re-
peal of the Taft Hartley labor law,
a pledge to increase labor's earn
ings, promise to keep up farm
prices and a promise to return price
controls and rationing.
Must Benefit by Mistakes.
IF, Mr.. President" wrote Mr..
Scott, you can keep farm prices
high, cut the cost of food stuffS,
encourage labor generally to seek
higher wages and still give low
building costs-Mandrake, the ma
gician, will have to take a back
seat"
Mr. Scott said it would be waste
Of time and effort to dwell on the
reasons for "the totally unexpected
election outcome" except to the
that we may benefit in the future
by avoiding mistakes Of the past.

gone Republican by substantial
margins. quarreling over prospective

STODDERT GREAT SECRETARY
! Bejamin Stoddert is still consid-
cred TO be one of the greatest Sec
retaries in the $50 years of the Navy

was well qualified for the position.
Faced with the establishment of q
Navy while war was in progress
with no precedent on which to base
his decisions, Stoddert performed
his Job well. So farsighted was his
outlook that some of his policies are
still in effect.

Joshua Humphreys, a Quaker and
Philadelphia shipbuilder, was the
first Naval Constructor to be APP

mand the ship DELAWARE.

In comparison, the peak officer
and enlisted strength of the U. S.

SOON TO CELEBRATE
15OTH ANNIVERSARY


April Goth is the l50th anniversary
of the founding of the Navy Depart
ment. Exactly nine years to the day
after George Washington's inaugu-
ration as first President OF the
United States, President Adams
signed the bill which created this
new department for national de-
|fense.
When France declared war on
Great Britain and Spain in 1913,
our infant Republic found itself I'M
willingly affected by the struggle be-
tween the European powers. France
attempted to use the United States
as a base for privateering, and Eng
Hand directed the detention of Amer
lean ships carrying French produce
or provisions to French colonies. TO
make matters worse, pirates OF the
Barbary powers were boarding
American ships, capturing stores, and
holding our seaman for ransom. AS
a result, American merchant ship
ping was in danger OF being COM
pletely destroyed. Thomas Jefferson
had recommended fitting out a Ma
val Force strong enough to protect
our commerce, and in its absence
the United States paid tribute
amounting to $2,0O0,000 in one
decade.
FIRST NAVAL VESSELS
Drastic action had to be taken
lie American merchant ships were to
sail the seas free from harrassment
land Humiliation. Congress passed the
Naval Act Of 1894 which provided
for force of six trigates. large,
square rugged men-of-war, second
only to ships-of -the-line in fight
ing i.ower.
Building these ships involved many
problems. Timber had to be cut and
seasoned: materials collected; yes
sells designed; shipyards built or
rented; skilled workmen employed;
Ordnance secured; officers commits
stoned; crews recruited, assembled
| and trained Construction progress
sed on all six frigates until early in
1896 when an American doplomat
concluded peace with Algiers. AS
result the President was authorized
to permit work on only three OF
| the original vessels. Opposition to
a new fleet sprang largely from
