KremIin Reported
Weighing Neutral
Plan on Berlin
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Oct. 9.-Efforts of the
Security Councils neutral six
to settle the Berlin clash and
dodge a veto were reported to-
night under scrutiny in the
Kremlin.
United Nations sources said pro-
Iposals on Berlin by the six members
were transmitted to Moscow by
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister An
drei Vishinsky. Their nature was
not disclosed. Earlier reports said it
involved lifting the Soviet block
ade while the four-power foreign
ministers council attempts a Ger
man settlement.
Some sources said the need to
await a Kremlin reply caused the
six members to favor delaying un-
til Tuesday or later the next council
meeting on the Berlin issue.
Neutrality Delegates Meet.
Juan A. Bramuglia of Argentina,
temporary Council president for the
Berlin debate, met today with rep
resentatives Of the other five smaller
nations-Belgium, China, Colombia,
Syria and Canada. Western power
spokesmen call them neutrals on
the Berlin issue.
Mr.. Bramuglia, who is Spearhead-
ing the search for mo veto" form
ula, met secretly yesterday with Mr..
Vishinsky. Mr.. Bramuglia has not
approached any American officials
since then.
Syria's Faris ell Khouri reported
some progress" by Mr.. Bramuglia,
the Argentine foreign minister. Mr..
Ell Khouri said the conversations will
continue over the week end.
Charles E. Bohlen, one of the
State Departments top advisers on
Germany and Russia, cancelled
plans for trip out of Paris tomor-
row. Thus he would be available
here for any conversations with the
six representatives.
Assembly Pushes Work.
The United Nations Assembly
pushed its work in committees dur
ing the day.
Sir Hartley Shawcross of Britain
described as '.humbug" the Soviet
proposal to reduce armament of the
big powers by one-third and abol-
ish atomic weapons. He spoke be-
fore the Political Committee. ~
"The Soviet government will
have to put great many cards on
the table before we, or any one else
who has studied the history of this
subject, can be satisfied this (Soviet)
proposal is anything but a some
what bare propaganda DEVICE" he
declared.
Shawcross, Britain's attorney gen.
eral, charged Mr.. Vishinsky with
holding out IAN olive branch in a
manner so aggressive as to be CAL
culated to discourage others to grasp
it,"
The Briton said there is certain
air of unreality in discussing now
the question of a reduction in the
size of armed forces, what is called
conventional armament, at a time
when we have not reached, and still
seem very far from reaching, agree
ment on the controlled prohibition
of atomic weapons"

Nations ask six big powers to make
another try at agreement on atomic

Shortage Of Doctors
flinders Glenn Dale;
ITO Patients Waitinq
Beds Are Available;
10 Vacancies on Stoff,
Another Opening Soon

Patients at Glenn Dale Sana-
torium for tuberculosis are not
getting adequate care because of
a lack of doctors, Health Officer
George c. Rutland said yester-
day.
In addition, DR.. A. Barklie Coul-
ter, director of the. tuberculosis Bu-
reau Of the Health Department, said
he has ITO patients on the waiting
list to be hospitaliZed at the sana-
torium, but has been unable to send
them to Glenn Dale because of the
lack of physicians. DR.. Coulter said
56 of the patients are In critical con-
dition and should be sent there i'm
|mediately.
There are $50 patients at the sana-
torium now, Supt. Daniel L. Fina-
cune said. The hospital could ac-
commodate 667 with adequate medi-
cal assistance, he added. Beds are
available. and the only ward now
closed. DR.. Finacune said, is a So
bed ward for children.
~ luCulCdI VdCdhClCSs
There are 10 medical vacancies at
the sanatorium, DR.. Finacune said
and one of the five physicians now
on his staff is leaving. Each doctor
is forced to care for about 100 pa
tients a day, and even the super
intendent and his surgeon and as
sistant surgeon have been forced to
take over ward duty.
The scarcity of doctors is due, DR..
Finacune said, to the lack of living
quarters on the reservation. Con-
gress appropriated money for an
apartment to house four doctors
and their families, but plans still
are on the drawing table. 1t is
hoped that the building will be
ready in a year.
DR.. Rutland said he had vainly
sought aid from the United States
Public Health Service and he now
is seeking assistance from WASH
ington medical schools.
DR.. Coulter said a critical situa-
ton exists at the sanitorium. He
declared the District was defeating
its own purpose In not seeing that
sufficient medical help was avail
able at the institution.
Little Inducement to Doctors.
THE District recently conducted
extensive X-ray tuberculosis sur
vey." DR.. Coulter said, "and we
found many new cases. But finding
new cases and not curing them is a
condition that should not be al
lowed to exist. We have got to do
something about it but there ap-
pears to be nothing in sight i'm
mediately. I am not criticizing any
one, just stating facts"
DR.. Coulter said there is little in
ducement for a physician to offer
his services to Glenn Dale. The es-
tablishment is IS miles from Wash
ington. he said, forcing doctors to
spend much time travelling.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. s.-Vir-
ginia's political situation, already
badly muddled, was further COM
plicated today by simultaneous
developments in opposing direc-
tions.
Former Senator Thomas G. Burch
of Martinsville, a ranking member
of the powerful Byrd Tuck machine,
came out strongly for the States
Rights Democratic ticket of Gov.
Thurmond of South Carolina. 1t
was the first formal Endorsement of
the States Rights movement by a
top-f1ight politician in the Virginia
organization"
AT the same time, a group of
liberal Democrats, bitterly fighting
Senator Byrd's forces. formed a
State committee pledged to work
actively for the reelection of Presi-
dent Truman and for the election
of all other Democratic nominees
in Virginia.
Strengthen Thurmond Cause.
Mr.. Burchs announcement was
hailed in the anti Truman sector
of the party and greatly strength
ened the States Rights cause while
Gov. Thurmond is still campaigning
in Virginia. The presidential NOM
inee was at Norfolk this afternoon

ed for support at the polls.
In his statement, Mr.. Burch at
tackled what he called the "Tru-
man convention in Philadelphia, u
declaring it to be dominated by
radicals, left-wingers and Federal
Bureaucrats." He asserted that
their philosophy is directly opposed
to everything our party has fought
for"
"A label is the only link between
the Truman Party of today and the
party of Thomas Jefferson" he re-
marked, warning that "our people
must look to the substance back of
the label"
Democrats who vote for Gov.
Thurmond and Wright ARE not
bolters," Mr.. Burch said, "but are
regular and will be entitled to recog-
milton and to participation in future
Democratic primaries, conventions
or other Democratic Party activi-
ties"

Wallace Calls Truman
Statement on 1941
Situation Stupid
BY Me Assseis,sd Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April H.
Henry A. Wallace said tonight that
President Truman's recent speech
hkening the international situation
TO that prevalent In 1e4l was Q
serious error"
The third party presidential can
didats said In addressing the found
ing convention Of the Progressive
Party Of Connecticut:
eft Is Q matter Of life or death
to millions OF US to understand lust
how wrong Mr.. Truman ID In this
comment on recent and current
history"
The President said in q speech In
Washington Monday, There are
certain things which are worse than
war, One Of them IL slavery. That's
what we were faced with in 1910
and 1941. We are faced with
almost exactly the same situation
today"
Calls Statement Stupid.
In reply, Mr.. Wallace said, "Tne
men who make the statement that
the situations In 1941 and 194S are
almost exactly the same, are trying,
first of all. to sell the idea that Mani
Germany and Soviet Russia are al
most identical"
That" he said, lis not only
stupid statement, it k a criminal
statement. It Ia q myth. It was
created by men who know that Nazi
Germany and Soviet Russia are
quite different"
Unlike the Fascist relationships"
he said, "the Russians have no ne
cessity to expand their borders, nor
will they for many decades to come,
except as external threats and pres
sures compel them to seek military
security"
Lashes Out at Allen.
The presidential aspirant also
lashed out at George v. Allen, as
sistant secretary of state for public
affairs, who on Thursday criticized
what he described as Mr.. Wallace's
Misrepresentation of our foreign
policy aims"
Mr.. Wallace said: with millions
Of fellow Americans. I will be en-
barrassed when George Allen, di-
recting the Voice of America tells
the world that we are against in
reference in the affairs of SOW
ereign states, that We are against
intimidation, that we detest CO.
ercion."
Referring to Mr.. Aliens two-yearI
tenure as ambassador to Iran, Mr..
Wallace said the Iranian army
and police force, which received Mr..
Aliens fatherly care, has no pos
sible military value against a for
eign power. It's purpose is to keep
the landless peasants landless, to
smash the trade unions and to pro-
tect the oil interests of the foreign
oil companies"
Earlier in New York Mr.. Wallace
said that American and Russian
troops should both be removed from
"areas where they are likely to get
into trouble, one with the other"
He also told founding conference
OF the New York State Wallace
for President Committee that I'VE

Farley Set Tomorrow
AT Labor Department
On Painters Strike

Joseph P. Hillock, business repre-
sentative of the Painters Union Lo-
cal 1853, AFL, said last night a meet
ing will be held at pm. tomorrow
at the Labor Department to settle
the strike of nearly 1900 painters
in the District and nearby Virginia
over a wage increase.
A complaint was filed yesterday
by the Union Painting Contractors
Association with the National Labor
Relations Board charging the paint
ers with unfair labor practices and
violating the Taft Hartley labor law,
a management spokesman said.
Mr.. Hillock last night indicated
the strike Is about over, but this
was disputed by a leading con-
tractor, John w. johnson, member
of the association and one Of the
negotiators.
Several Agreements Reported.
Mr.. HiIlock said several associa-
tion members have signed up with
the union for $2.18 an hour, against
the former wage Of $l.95.
G. H. Rhodes, financial secretary
of the local, said yesterday that by
tomorrow morning So per cent Of the
painters will be back on the job
with new contracts awarding them
pay raises Of 23 cents an hour, or
$21s.
Mr.. johnson contended, however,
that less than 10 per cent of the
painters have obtained new con-
tracts. He said his association rep
resents 80 of the IS major painting
contractors In the area.
Mr.. Johnson explained the as
sociation has two-year agreement
with the union, which runs until
April l, 1949. Under q provision
for re-opening wages and hours
terms, the painters sought a raise
based on the increased cost Of liv-
ing.
Labor Statistics Used.
This was based on figures of the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics, and ne
gotiations have been carried on
since December 80, Mr.. johnson
said. He declared the association
made an offer of $2,06, which was
rejected. In fact, Mr. johnson de-
clared, the union has rejected every
offer, including one to arbitrate.
The strike began Thursday, Mr..
Johnson said. He declared the paint
ers asked $2.25 an hour until about
10 days ago, when they negotiated
for $2.18 an hour with independent
contractors, but never asked the as
sociation to consider that wage.
The Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service. an independent
Government agency, which has Of
fees at the Labor Department, is
considering the dispute.
