Mr.. Wallace charged that as q
result of Government action in
Greece, China and Palestine 1--WE
have blood on our hands"
Gov. Dewey contended that the
administration was fumbling at its
job of trying to cure the war
breeding ills of divided Europe.
Gov. Dewey spoke in an auditor
ium jammed with 5000 persons.
Hundreds had to stand.
5000 Hear Wallace.
Six thousand turned out in high
school stadium and waited through
a long program in a chill wind to
hear Mr.. Wallace speak.
In his address, Gov. Dewey as
serted that the United States "has
the opportunity of all history in our
hands" to cure the spawning of wars
in Europe. He recommended a
United States of Europe as the
means. He said a strong national
leadership was needed to bring it
about
With such leadership, he said, I'VE
can build a Europe so strong that
no dictator will dare to try to break
it in our time or our children's
time"
A mile across the city, Mr. Wal

a cold war"
Bipartisan Policy Scored.
"It is time to repudiate this man"
he said

foundation for the greatest blood
shed the world has ever seen"

peace"

vention or until he releases them.
The delegates elected pledge them
selves to exert their best efforts to
secure the nomination of the candi-
date chosen by the voters. One
delegate bolted the decision of the
primary in Calvin Coolidges time.
Stassen Made Charges.
Oregon has four legates-at- large
and two delegates from each of four
counties. OF the IA candidates for
deiegate-at-large in yesterdays pri-
mary two campaigned as Stassen
supporters, one for Gov. Dewey, one
for Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan and one for Senator Bricker
Of Ohio.
AS the campaign drew to a close
Mr.. Stassen charged that he was
the victim of a conspiracy between
Senator Taft of Ohio and Gov
Dewey; that they had ganged up
to defeat him in Oregon, and that
a quarter of million dolls had been
brought from the East to defeat him
and make the New Yorker VIC
torious. Gov. Dewey denounced the
charges as fantastic. His followers
contended that Mr.. Stassen was
seeking an alibi, since he realized
Gov. Dewey was going to win.
Neither Mr.. Stassen nor Gov.
Dewey remained in Oregon to re-
ceive the returns, although they
campaigned there up to the last
moment. The Governor received
election reports in Seattle, Wash,
and Mr.. Stassen in Minneapolis,
each sitting up until early this
morning.

BELLE FOURCHE, S. Oak, May
22.--Jimmy Coulter was the most
popular first grader here, what with
giving away money to his play
mates all week long.
Yesterday Jimmy's teacher called
his mother, Mrs. Donald Coulter, to
learn if she knew about the cash
contributions. No. she didn't. But
Mrs. Coulter recalled that for years
her husband had been collecting old
coins. She said he had about 80
valued at 5000.
She investigated at home. The
jar that held the coin collection
was there all right-but its contents
were missing. Today a general
alarm went out to Belle Fourche

u. 5. Reported Ready
To Challenge Britain
On Palestine Stand
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

LAKE Success, May a.
There were signs today that the
United States may openly chal-
lenge Britain's United Nations
stand on the war in Palestine.
AS the Security Council neared q
vote on what to do about the bat
ting. American Delegate Warren r.
Austin was reported ready to make
a strong appeal for vigorous U. N.
policy.
Britain has fought such policy
and could even use the big power
veto to block any move in that
direction.
Doubt Over Support.
The United States wants the
Council to order the Jews and Arabs
to issue cease-fire and Stand-fast
directives to troops effective in SO
hours. The proposal is based on the
strongest articles of the u. N.
Charter and could be backed UP
if necessary-with economic sane
tions and even international force.
However, there is considerable
question whether the United States
plan can muster the necessary seven
votes-regardless of any possible
veto.
Russia and the Soviet Ukraine
support the American idea firmly,
but beyond that nothing is certain.
France appears ready to go along
and Canada. Belgium and Colombia
are possibilities.
Britain and China want the Coun-
Gil merely to call on the Arabs and
Jews to stop fighting. Three such
toothless appeals already have been
ignored.
Czech Probe Blocked.
An American-Belgian- French con-
sular truce commission yesterday re-
ported to the Council from Jeru.
salem that nothing short of U. N.
force could stop fighting In the
Holy City.
Meanwhile, Russia again blocked
any action on the Czechoslovak case
merely by threatening to veto.
The Council maneuvered for two
hours trying to get around Russias s
oath veto and finally adjourned last
night without voting.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. Gromyko, soon to be re-
placed as Russian delegate, served
notice again that he would veto.
The argument developed around
whether creation of commission
to investigate the Communist coup
in Prague last February was subject
to the special voting privilege.
Mr.. Gromyko maintained that it
was. He said further that he could
use his veto in any auxiliary vote to
determine whether the veto should
apply to the Czechoslovak case. The
Soviet Ukraine agreed with Mr..
Gromyko; the nine other Council
members did not.
The vote finally may come Mon
day or Tuesday.

NEW YORK, May Ex-senator

more delegates on the first ballot
than any other candidate" at the
Republican National Convention.
The Ohio aspirant for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination

Der of votes but said at news con-
ference that his campaign managers

hood of 300"
Senator Taft coupled his remarks
about convention votes with the as
sertion that the result of the Oregon
primary would not affect his posi-
ton. Gov Dewey of New York is
leading former Gov. Harold E. Stas-
sen of Minnesota in the contest for
convention delegates there.
Won't Accept Vice Presidency.
Asked if he would accept the vice
presidential nomination, the Senator
said, The job have now is more
important than the vice presidency.
I would much rather do that work
than be Vice President"
Last night in Princeton, N. j., on
swing through the State seeking
delegate support, Senator Taft called
for a defense which will make this
country substantially safe.
Final decisions must be made by
a civilian Government, he added,
for IF We admit the final authority
OF the military to decide these
problems, it means that they WILL
soon have in their hands the en-
tire economic and political future

ton delegates at luncheon. gave
reception for editors and publishers
and concluded with his speech.
Mr.. Taft met with woman mem
bers of the States convention dele
cation.
At the news conference Senator
Taft refused to comment on
whether he would pick an fastener
as a running mate should he be
successful in winning the nomina-
ton. He also reiterated previous
denials of a charge by Harold F.

The group indicated no move for

would be made if Congress decides
not to 20 ahead now with Govern
ment pay bill.
Senator Cain, who acted as
spokesman for the fiscal group
members, said the situation was

of the difficulties revolving around
the uncertainty of what will be done
on the pay bill. 1t could be. ne told

This portion of the plan, how
ever, depends on the willingness OF
the Horan subcommittee Of the
House Appropriations Committee
and later the House-to agree to the
budget cut.
Income Tax Change Planned.
If this portion of the plan fails,
then another alternative will have
to be found to raise the $1,000, 900.
One way would be an increase IN
the property tax.
And should the sales tax be de-
feated until 1850 and if Congress
at a late hour in this session votes
the pay raise. the District might be
confronted with the necessity OF
raising up to 100000 through the
only means then left-increased
property taxes 1t was estimated
this would require an increase in
the 50 rate to about s2.45.
The sales tax bill would also call
for repeal of the Districts personal
income tax as it now stands, except
it would still be applied to all those
resident here having taxable in
comes of $4,000 or more. Under this
plan. there would be no exemption
for persons having such taxable in
