Hitherto, the COP has consider ed the Un-American Activities Committee one of its best propa- ganda mediums against the Demo- crats. But, believe it or not, Re- publican recently went to the Com mittee and asked them to hold up report they were planning to publish.
 The Republican is Roy James, candidate for Congress from Palm erton, Pa, and the report he didn't want published was regarding the Institute of Pacific Relations, of which he is a member. The Un- American Activities Committee, probing the institute, claims that it is dominated by Frederick Field. wealthy New York Communist lead- CT
 James suggested to fellow Repub- licans on the Committee that the report be discretely held up until after elections

ing to support him. Without con- curing in this, Pope handed the President a memo regarding Italian colonies and said he would like to have his views on the subject.
 Truman replied that he couldn't make any commitment, since Ital- ian colonies were up to the United Nations.
 I'm not going to give you any of that Dewey bull" the President added, referring to Governor Dew ey's statement to an Italo-Ameri- can group that the colonies should be returned to Italy.
 Truman went on to point out that the United States had shown its true friendship to the Italian peo- pie by contributing one billion dol lars year to them.
 Yes" countered Pope, but how can we keep that up? We simply can't do it. We've got to help the Italians to help themselves. And there isn't enough room in Italy for all the Italian people They have to have some place in North Africa for their overflow"

Senator O'Mahoney lntervened to point out that Britain's colonies were no asset to her-in fact, were a drain on the British Empire.

 But that's not true of Italy" countered Pope. Italians have mi grated to her colonies, and they have been a tremendous help to the Italian people"
 The American publisher all so quoted 9 statement made by Anthony Eden, when British For eign Minister in l944, to the effect that the Italian colonies would never be returned to Italy.
 Are we following British policy, Mir President?" Pope asked.
 No, we are not" was the reply T am going to leave this to Gen. eral Marshall and the United Ma tions to decide"
 That about ended the interview. MT Truman did not make a con- vert and Pope's influential. news paper now appears to be definitely in Dewey's corner. The Italian vote can swing New York City one way or the other
 Note--Truman did not say so, but probably one reason he is standing pat regarding Italian col onies is that the United States has signed an agreement with Britain and France to establish B-29 base in Libya which will control the Mediterranean. Also, the Brit

Cancelled in Virginia
By Young Democrats
By the Assoeiated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 1.-THE
executive committee of the Young
Democratic Clubs of Virginia turned
thumbs down today on an already
accepted invitation of States Rights
presidential candidate j. Strom
Thurmond to address its state con-
vention here october 8.
The committees action was taken
by the expedient of postponing the
October and convention to dates
to be selected later by a sub-com-
mittee. The vote was 8-to-6.
Miss Genevieve Boguess. honorary
secretary, said later. however, that
the South Carolina governor would
address a banquet here as planned
under some other sponsorship"
Miss Boguess, chairman of the
committee on convention arrange
ments, said all plans for the banquet
had been made and would not be
called off.
The Young Democrats president,
Thomas Odom of Suffolk. extended
the invitation to Thmmond after
this committee last month voted
IL to 2 to support the presidential
slate of the regular Virginia DEM
ocratic Party.
Mr.. Odom, who said repeatedly
the invitation was extended by him
as and individual under his presi-
Dental prerogrative, told the COM
mittee, at today's stormy four-hour
session:
Il was hoping I wouldn't have
to say this. But the convention
dates have been set and I have in
vited Gov. Thurmond to speak
If this motion ito postpone) wins
intend to see that the convention
is held and that Thurmond speaks
ard those Young emocrats can come
who want to-"
Later, when the atmosphere had
cooled somewhat, Mr.. Odom said
that for the sake of harmony in
the organization I yield to the ma
jority of the Executive Committee
and will name a committee on ar
rangements for the later conven-
ton"
! The executive group moved to
take some of the sting out of
what Mr.. Odom's supporters said
was repudiation of the president
by giving him a unanimous vote OF
confidence.
Action to delay the convention
came on the motion of vice presi-
