 BIG TALK
Bv The Associated pressl

By The Associated Press)
 Republican and Democratic Pres idential candidates squared off to- day for slugging match over Con- smunism.
 The Progressive party's White Houes contestant, who is running with some Communist support, meanwhile punched away at the Republican and Democratic candi- dates
 Both the COP nominee, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. and his run ming mate. Gov. Earl Warren. hit the Communist issue hard in speeches yesterday. !, President Truman, who apparent ly. has been trying to egg Dewey t1nto real world clash, promptly decided to talk about the same sub ject in his next major speech, at Oklahoma City next Tusday.
 While Warren was telling a De- troit audience he would rather be defeated than have Communist sup port" Dewey had this to say in Los Angeles:
 Some people jeer at this prob fem. calling it red herring Some people get panicky about it. I don't belong to. either group"
 World Offensive
 Then the New York Governor laid down this plan as part ot proposed mighty world offensive" against Communists
 I've will keep informed and we'll keep the American people informed where they are and what they're up to- If they or any one else break our laws against treason they'll get traitors treatment
 Warren loosed his most forcetul attack in Marion. Ohio. enroute to Drfrssit as ~ss

 Labor Act Upheld
 The Californian called the Tatt- Hartley Labor Act '.an honest eff fort" to be fair to labor. manage ment and the public and accused Mr. Truman of taking a contradic- tory position on the law.
 The President-Author of the Red Herring" remark referred to by Dewey-turned the Warren ac- cusation in the other direction.
 Its case of double talk" he said at Oceanside, Calf, of the COP stand against him.
 Progressive candidate Henry A. Wallace mentioned Russia, too, but he turned it into an attack on the two major party nominees.
 Russia may stifle freedom and en- courage dictatorship, he said in Youngstown, Ohio, but those charg- es are lat least equally true of the present foreign policy of Truman and Dewey"
 Big business was one of the main targets of MT. Truman's vice-presi- dential candidate, Senator Alben w. Barkley The Kentuckian said one major current danger is the possibility of "a reversion of the old days of domination of this country by the private interests

WASHINGTON It will probab- ly cost him half million votes in such Italian-American centers at New York, Boston and Jersey City, but President Truman con- tinues rigid and immovable regard ing the return of North African colonies to Italy. He hasn't budg- ed an inch despite the toughest kind of pressure.e
 Hardest pressure came the other day from publisher Generso Pope of the Italian-American newspaper Il Progresso, hitherto strong Democrat, now flirting with Dewey. Invited to the White House with Senators McGrath of Rhode Island and OMahoney of Wyoming, Pope proceeded to put the President on the hot seat.
 McGrath, Chairman of the Dem ocratic National Committee, opened the session by telling the Presi-

In nDemandingWa
For Health Inspection

A health officer may not inspect
q private home here when entry is
forbidden by the owner, unless the
officer takes the usual and ordi-
nary" preliminary steps for search
The Municipal Court Of Appeals
made this ruling today inreversing
an earlier decision by Judge John P.
Mcmahon of Municipal Court, who
held that health officers do not need
search warrants to make inspec-
tions in line with their regular
duties.
Mrs. Geraldine Little, 1915 Tenth
street NV, had been charged with
preventing health officers from
checking on a complaint of loose
garbage and trash in the halls of
her home.
Judge Mcmahon found her guilty
and fined her $25. He said the
regulation in question is necessary
and proper for the protection Of
public health and comfort" t
Judge Brice Clagett, speaking for
the appeals court, commented, how
ever, that unless the condition
under inspection constitutes an
immediate danger or a dangerous
nuisance in ITSELF" such as an
existing or threatened epidemic
the District would be acting beyond
its powers in taking any summary
action"

EdCrump Waits,
| But Extortioner
Fails to Appear
BY the Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 15.-Ec
Crump, 72-year-old Shelby County
political leader, last night carried
an empty briefcase to a location
given in a note which, he said
threatened his life, but the anony-
nous letter-writer did not appear
to claim the money"
Mr.. Crump said he had received a
note calling for $4,000 to be de-
posted at a certain street corner
or death. He went to the designated
spot, but instead of taking cash, he
said he put in the briefcase a note
reading:
ITO the coward perpetrating this
dastardly thing: Any one could take
a white mouse with baby teeth and
run you in the Mississippi River"
After reaching the rendezvous,
Mr.. Crump left the brown bag on
the sidewalk, returned to his car and
waited. When no one approached,
he picked up the moneyless brief
case and went home, he related. He
said the letter was written in the
same handwriting as one he received
about two years ago.
