He called the police raid "un-

denouncing the police raid,

Marshall Says Stalin Can Show Sincerity Now

WASHINGTON, - LP) Sec retary of State Marshall said to- day future Russian cooperation in settling world issues will de- termine Premier Stalin's sincerity in calling for greater understand ing between nations.
 Marshall said he would Cer- tainly see Foreign Minister Molo- tov if Molotov ever should come to Washington.
 But Marshall refrained from saying he would be glad to see MolOtoV.
 This reply concerning Molotov was given to a news conference question. Marshall omitted the glad to see MOlotov" used by the ques.ioner and only grinned when reporters laughed at the omission.
 As to whether he had noted any recent increase in Russian cooperation toward solving issues before the United Nations and other international bodies, Mar shall said there has not yet been much opportunity.

 Veterans are now too numer- ouS and represent too high a pro- portion of the population" the resolution said, "to be entitled to special and separate treatment apart from and at the expense of their neighbors and fellow citi- zens."

IKE May Get
 First Nomination

WASHINGTON, - (F) Gen. Dwight D. EisenhoWer's name may be the first placed in nomin- ation for the presidency at the Democratic National Convention.
 When nominating time comes, the roll of states is called alpha betically. If present plans pan out, the Alabama delegation may use its top listing to try to start an Eisenhower boom before Presid- ent Truman's name is put up.
 Alabama electors already have been instructed never to vote for MT. Truman. Its delegation, to be completed in a run-off primary soon, is primed to walk out of the convention if a platform support ing MT. Truman's civil rights views is adopted and if the pres ident wins the nomination. Most politicians agreed the later out come as almost certain.
