Draft Bill Hearings
Slated for tuesday
|By Rules Committee

The cloud OF uncertainty over
when Congress will act on the draft
bill began to clear today as the
House Rules Committee arranged
hearings for Tuesday.
The bill already has been ap-
proved in different forms by both
the House and Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committees. On the House side,
however. it must run the gantlet
of the Rules Committee before the
time and length of floor debate are
fixed.
The chairman of the Rules Com
mittee, Representative Allen, Re-
publican, of Illinois, has proposed
a substitute that would offer
bonuses for volunteers, to avoid re-
viving the draft law. He has asked
the Armed Services Committee to
hold new hearings on it.
Through With the Problem"
Representative Andrews, Repub-
lican of New York, head of the
Armed Services Committee, brushed
that aside yesterday, declaring:
"Our committee is through with
the problem of raising manpower
for the Army and Navy. We have
approved a draft bill, and will have
a hearing on it before the House
Rules Committee next week"
Mr.. Allen has said he would not
hold up action on the draft bill to
force hearings on his own plan. But
he did not say he would send tbe
draft bill to the House floor. "Ac-
ton" could mean a decision to
pigeonhole it for the time being.
| On the Senate side the draft bill
also faces at least another week OF
delay. The Republican Policy Com
mittee has given the right Of way
to two other billS-one making ap-
propriations for flood control and
harbor improvements; another to
admit a fixed quota of displaced
persons to the United States.
Sullivan Asks to Change Plans.
J Meantime, the Navy asked per-
mission to put more punch in its
offense.
Secretary of the Navy Sullivan
asked Congress to let the Navy
speed work on guided-missile ships
and a giant 65,0O0-ton aircraft car
rier. This means that work will be
stopped on 13 others on which $751;
OOO 900 already has been spent.
They include one battleship, the
Kentucky, and large cruiser, the
Hawaii, both to be converted into
guided missile shops. seven destroy
ers, two destroyer escorts and two
submarines.
Mr.. Sullivan testified before a
House Armed Services subcommit
tee, asking that Congress allow the
Navy to divert $500, 100000 to vessels
of newer types.
Chairman Gurney of the Senate
Armed Services Committee said he
was disappointed at the delay facing
his draft-training bill.

Ha|Ieck Says Truman
Has Broken Pledge 10
Work With Congress
BY fha AxsoeiofAd Press

MONTPELIER, VT, May 15.-
House Majority Leader Halleck
charged today that President
Truman has failed to keep a
solemn promise" to cooperate
with the Republican Congress.
Instead, Mr.. Halleck told the Ver-
mont State Republican Convention,
the President and "his New Deal
satellites have opposed every major
measure proposed by the peoples
representatives in Congress.
HE has resisted every move to
realize economy in Government" the
Indiana Republican asserted. "He
mas vetoed three tax reduction bills
in a fragrant abuse of the veto pow
ter. He vetoed the fortnight effort
Of Congress to improve labor-man-
agement relations in passing, with
Overwhelming majorities, the Taft
Hartley Act.%
"Co-operation' Attacked.
Mr.. Halleck said. Mr.. Truman
publicly pledged" to cooperate
with the new Congress, and added
ITO Mr.. Truman, cooperation ap-
parently means that it should all
come from the Republican side"
Mr.. Halleck charged "the New
Deal Democrats do not. believe in
economy" and that they continue
to adhere to the spend and spend
policy that would ultimately mean
national bankruptcy and economic
chaos
He said the first major plan in
the Republican Party program is to
achieve economy in Government
spending and to place our Govern
ment on sound fiscal basis"

turer who has been active in GOF

Although the delegation will &c
to the national convention un-
pledged, Mr.. Dewey is believed to
favor the presidential candidacy OF
his cousin, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York, while Gov. Gibson
repeatedly leans to Harold E. Stas-
sen. Gov. Gibson, however, has
said he considers both Gov. Dewey

When the men failed to return

Through Wednesday night they

istration's Palestine move was seen
in a statement from Chairman VAN
denberg of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee. He said Mr..
Truman's action was "a logical and
proper STEP" He added:
IF the present course Of the
United States is followed by other
governments I am unable to believe
that the parties in controversy can
not be successfully summoned to
the bar of the United Nations in
behalf of an urgent truce"
There was no indication whether
the President had notified Senator
Vandenberg of the move in ad-
vance.
Unofficial speculation over why
President Truman acted with such
speed in extending recognition to
the Jewish state centered around
three possibilities: Cd His desire to
discourage an Arab invasion of the
new nation: 90 a belief that the
United States should act before the
Soviet Union, and go domestic
political CONSIDERATIONS.
Statement Is Brief.
The Presidents brief statement,
issued only few minutes after the
new state was proclaimed, said
merely:
This Government has been in
formed that Jewish state has been
proclaimed in Palestine and recog-
milton has been requested by the
provisional government thereof.
1.-THE United States recognizes the
provisional government as the de
facto authority of the new State of
Israel"
de facto' recognition is reserved
for a government existing lin fact"
where there may be some dispute
over its legal authority. Legally
constituted regimes may be accorded
de jure" recognition.
Middle East Crisis Seen.
The White House said this Gov
ernment's desire oobtain truce
in Palestine will in no way be
lessened by the proclamation Of
Jewish state"
Any Arab effort to set up a pro-
visional regime in their part Of the
Holy Land was expected to get
equally swift consideration here.
1t appeared certain that Jewish
enthusiasm over Mr.. Truman's move
would be matched by deep Arab
disappointment and opposition.
Some officials said privately that a
period of crisis is now at hand in
the Middle East-where the United
States has important strategic, po-
litical and oil interests.
Whether this crisis can be wealth
cred safely or whether it will pro-
duce new dangers to American
interests and to international peace
depends to a great extent, officials
said, on Arab reaction to the latest
White House move.
Jewish comment evidenced de-
gree of enthusiasm for administra-
ton policy on this occasion which
had been lacking from the country's
politically powerful Jewish organi-
cations on earlier administration
moves on the Holy Land.
Mr.. Truman, with election year
political worries as well as interna-
tional problems to concern him, had
in recent weeks been in danger OF
losing considerable Jewish support.

The men had no chance to speak
to one another as Gov. Dewey's We
hicle passed the Stassen bus without
stopping.

Mr.. Stassen, behind schedule on
his way to the Dalles, was busily
signing autographs for the small
crowd gathered in the roadway. He
smiled broadly as Gov. Deweys bus
edged past and disappeared
Gov. Dewey also smiled from his
window and waved at disappointed
onlookers.
Many interesting things happen
on the Oregon Trail" Mr.. Stassen
commented.
James Hagerty, Gov. Dewey's press
secretary, explained that the Dewey
driver was ordered to continue be-
cause "it's Just political courtesy not
to interrupt another mans meet

Yale Canvasses Country
For Col. Trumbull Canvas

A nationwide hunt for the paint
ings Of John Tru1nbull. visual re-
corder of the American Revolution,
has been instituted by Yale pro-
fessor.
Theodore Sizer. professor Of the
history Of art at Yale, issued the
call for information about the
Trumbull paintings in the yale
University Library Gazette. The
first such request for assistance
was made by Professor Benjamin
Siliman. I'd. in 1882 in the "Ameri-
can Art Review.
Sizer, working under a Guggen-
helm fellowship. is noted authori-
ty on the 'patriot-artist' He has
compiled the first thorough check
list Of Trumbull's works. and the
recent acquisition by the Yale H.
brary of Trumbull's notebook. con-
tanning list of the artists earlier
works. has encouraged Sizer to
seek elsewhere for further informa-
ton.
Col. Trumbul was responsible
for the design Of the original Yale
Gallery. the first such art museum
in the United States connected with
an educational institution. The pur-
pose Of the search is to complete a
check list of his works and discover
their location.
Col. Trumbulrs paintings are
richly STEPPED in the tradition Of
Yale. New Haven and Connecticut.
as well as the revolutionary period.
According to Prof. John Marshall
Phillips, director Of the Yale art
gallery. the artist seemed to have
a faculty for appearing on the
scene Of action just as history was
being made. He. therefore. gave
the U. S. many pictorial records.
otherwise unobtainable. of this
country's early background.

Senator Taft, senate majority
leader; Senator Wherry, senate
whip; Speaker Joe Martin in the
house; Majority Leader Charlie
Halleck and Congressman Knutson,
Taber and Allen-al will be in their

So if they are not morally

certainly no reason to believe
they will be bound by those
same pledges six months from
now.
Charges by the COP leadership
that the call for the special session

President Truman and the attempts
to evade the issues on needed leg
islation are, in the opinion of this
reporter, Slightly ridiculous when
it is remembered that prior to adj

Speaker Martin spoke of the pos
sibility of reconvening congress to
"finish their job" after the conven-
tionS were over

FaIIacy in Motive

Gov ]. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina is one of the more
progressive southern governors and
one Of the outstanding heroes of
World War II and his selection
as a presidential candidate against
President Truman likely was the
best selection that could have been
made out of the South But he
comes from state where only re-
Gently federal judge said from
the bench:
at is a disgrace and a shame
when you have to come into
court and ask judge to tell
you you are an American"
The statement Vas made in con-
nection with a court order to the
Democratic party in South Caro-
lima to keep its books open for the
registration of all voters including
Negroes.
The fallacy of the attitude of the
southern politicians, in the opinion
of this reporter, is that they are
using states rights, against which
there is no quarrel, to petpetuate
human wrongs.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-08-20
Odds Against Him

On the surface President Truman
seems to have insurmountable odds
to overcome in his bid for his first
full term. He has Governor Dewey
and the COP in opposition. He has
Henry Wallace and the third party.
But the Fortune poll indicates that
the third party will draw equally
from the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties.
Now he has Governor Thurmond
and his rebel southerners against
him. But southern Democrats in
house and senate have not been
helpful to the Truman program. AS
a matter of fact they helped the
Republicans override Mr.. Humans
vetoes and some of them voted
with the Republicans as often as
with the Democratic minority. So
the President stands to lose moth
ing there.
As we have pointed out in this
column before, in the last half
century, except in 1916, when
the Democratic party has won
an election its electoral vote
has been big enough to win
without the Solid South. And
when the Republicans have won,
detection of the South would
have made no difference.
On top of this, if the southern re-
volt holds out to election day it will
be the first time Democrats in the
South have had a choice between
two candidates, and this reporter
is not at all sure but that Presi-
dent Truman will capture a ma
jority of these southern states de-
spite the rebellious leaders.

hind tree by saying the Repub-
lican leadership of this congress,
in special session or otherwise, is
in no way bound by the pledges of
the Republican platform adopted
at Philadelphia a few short weeks
ago.
This 1913 Republican platform,
