The union, at the start of nego-

Wallace Says Truman
Failed 10 End Bias
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

PORTLAND, Greg, May 25.--
Henry A. Wallace said last night
that President Truman has not kept
a promise to end racial discrimina-
tion in Federal agencies.
The third-party presidential can
didste told an audience here that
the President promised last Feb
ruary to issue an executive order to
Government agencies to halt dis
elimination.
"He has not made good on that
promise, and I think it is time that
we reminded him of that promise,
Mr.. Wallace asserted.
The speaker explained that Presi-
dent Truman had made the promise
at the time he sent the contro-
versial civil rights message to Con-
gress.
Mr.. Wallace also called for new
examination of American foreign
policy. He said the cost of the cold
war; was denying Americans the
bounty of their dreams.
In a farm program speech at
Salem earlier, Mr.. Wallace proposed
q new Government prohibition-to
keep children from being born on
submarginal farms.
THE Government should buy up
land which can't be served by cleo
tricity. If people insist on living
on such land, then the Government
shouldn't let them have children" !"
he asserted.
Later, in Portland, he said he was
talking too fast
He told a press conference that
apparently he had made the state
ment, but what he meant was peo-
pie with children shouldn't be al
lowed to live where facilities for
electricity, schools and other serv-
ices cannot be made available.

U. s. Urges New Steps
AS Reds Veto Probe Of
Czech Coup byU n.
BY the Asseetotsd Prsss

LAKE SUCCESS, May 25.-Two
more Soviet vetoes have 'quashed
United Nations plans for investigat-
ing last Februarys Communist coup
in Czechoslovakia.
The United States followed up
Russias Oath and 25th vetoes by
calling on the Security Council to
find some new means Of telling the
world about the Communist grab of
power and what part, if any, Russia
played in it. Warren r. Austin said
the United States was prepared to
gather evidence independently and
read it into Council records. He
urged other nations to follow suit.
Many delegates, however, think
the case is all washed up.
Charges Interference.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko exercised his
latest vetoes last night because, he
said, the U. N. was attempting to
interfere in the internal affairs OF
Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Gromyko was forced to use
double veto because Of lengthy
wranele over Council rules. The
U. N. charter says questions Of sub
stance are subject to veto and ques-
tions of procedure are not. Mr..
Gromyko maintained the proposal
to set up q three-nation investigAt-
ing group was substantive; all other
delegates except the Soviet Ukraine
said it was procedural.
Mr.. Gromyko thus had to veto
No. ~ to block . majority decision
calling the issue procedural and out
side the range of the veto. He came
back with No. Is to stop the main
proposal. The vote was 9 to 2, with
the Ukraine joining Russia in
dissent.
First Veto Since April 10.
When Mr.. Gromyko hoisted his
right hand, it marked the first time
since April 10 that he has welded
the veto. On that occasion he
blocked 1taly's application for
U. N. membership. The United
States, Britain and China never
have vetoed. France has used the
special voting privilege twice in the
29-month history of the Council.
Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A.
Malik, who will replace Mr.
Gromyko shortly as Soviet delegate,
watched the vetoing.
The Czechoslovak case has been
under consideration since March II.
It was filed by the government of
Chile. The present Prague govern
ment refused to send a delegate to
the Council table but kept an OBJ
cerver at all the meetings

Asked about the possibility Of the

Weizmann said it was difficult to
say what would happen "but I be-

The Jewish leader said that his

claring that it was almost incon-

invaded by Arab hordes under the

Greeted by 1000 at Station.

heavily for contempt-once In De-
cember, 1946, and again last month.
Mr.. Denham accused Mr.. Lewis
Of both refusing to bargain as set
forth in the Taft Hartley Act and
Of tryir J to coerce employers In
the choice Of q bargaining agent.
Lewis Attitude on Farley.
Mr.. Lewis position is that neither
the Southern Association nor Mr..
Moody signed the present work con.
tract with the UNIV and, hence,
they do not have the right to take
part in negotiations for a new
contract. The present wage agree
ment expires June 80.
The UNIV leader has said he Is
perfectly willing to do business with
Mr.. Moody as representative of the
IA local operator groups that make
up the association-but he will not
talk with Mr.. Moody in his official
capacity. The local groups signed
the present contract.
Mr.. Moody charged that Mr..
Lewis would not permit his associa-
ton to sign the agreement last
July.
In their argument before Justice
Goldsborough, Mr.. Denham's law
yers said there is Imminent danger
and great likelihood" that because
of Mr.. Lewis refusal to bargain
with Mr.. Moody a large part Of the
industry may not have q contract
to replace the one that expires
June 80.
"It may fairly be anticipated from
custom and practice of the coal
industry in the past that the coal
miners Represented by Lewis and
the UNIV will engage in q stop
page of work = on or after June
80, 1948, if no new agreement is
negotiated" they asserted.
Jurist Unimpressed.
Justice Goldsborough. however,
was unimpressed by the argument
that swift action was needed. Hence
the one-week period to give both
sides an opportunity to prepare for
the show cause hearing.
Later In the day, the Justice De-
partment made public its brief ask
ing Justice Goldsborough once again
to dissolve the 80-day Taft Hartley
Act injunction which grew out OF
the recent pension strike.
At the departments request,
Justice Goldsborough last week dis
missed the civil contempt conviction
hanging over Mr.. Lewis and the
union as a result of that strike. But
the Judge said he would have to be
convinced by further argument that
the injunction should be lifted, as
the Government asked at the same
time.
The Government brief said there
no longer is a strike or the threat
Of strike over the pension issue
and that while there still are diff
ferences between the operators and
the union they cover q broader field.
This was to say that II new
strike should result from the failure
to reach q new contract, the pension
dispute injunction could not be
made to applY.
