Hindu Leader Welcomes
u. N. Decision To
Establish Jewish State

NEW DELHI, India (JTA)-A
statement enthusiastically well
coming the U. N. decision to estab-
lish a Jewish state in Palestine
has been issued here by Binayak
Damaodar Savarkar, head of the
Hindu Mahasabha, an orgalriza-
ton representing conservative ele-
ments in the country.
Savarkar criticized the anti
partition stand taken by the Indian
delegates at Lake Success, and
questioned the validity of the OBJ
jections to partition voiced by Mrs.
Vijaylakshmi Pandit, chief of the
Indian delegation, in view of the
fact that India itself had just re-
Gently been partitioned for similar
communal reasons.
Commenting on the explanation
by Premier Pandit Nehru that
India opposed partition in order
not to ALLEVIATE the Middle East
Moslem state, Savarkar said the
present policy would alternate the
Jews of India and the states which
had supported partition. He add
ed that all of Palestine should
have been made Jewish state.

lze the principal common weapons.
The combined chiefs are neighbors

Along an adjacent corridor is the
suite of the Armed Forces Special
weapons Project, dealing with guided

1NHE war of words across the east
west barriers in Europe is stepping
up.
The United States this week in
creased its Voice of America broad
casts to Czechoslovakia to one full
hour daily, with new 15-minute
news and analysis program. This, the
State Department said, is an attempt
to counteract restrictions on informa-
ton in CZechoslOvakia imposed since
the Communist coup.
In Berlin, the Soviet controlled
newspaper Tdegliche RundSchau said:
'The Soviet people and the Soviet
Army rescued Czechoslovakia from
the Fascist yoke. The Czechs also re-
member how shamefully. they were
betrayed by the British, French and
American imperialistS in 1888"
The Berlin paper also said British
and American planes destroyed
peaceful German cities during the
late days of the war"
In Moscow, the government-con-
trOlled press and radio had this to say:
IzUeStiG: "The United States planned
to use the Czechs and Slovaks as the
spearhead of American imperialism
in eastern Europe They failed"
TTud: ''The United States is sabo-
tagging the United Nations decision
on Palestine"
Radio MoScOlU: "Latin American
countries are under complete eco
nOmic and political control of the u. S.
The US, with its expansionist policy,
is trying to deprive Britain of her
most important strategic position in
the Falkland Islands"
In London, newspaper editorials al
most unanimously called for action to
stop Russian expansion.
The conservative Daily Graphic:
"The US. should tell Russia, explicit
ly and fOrcibly, that if she moves an
other mile in Europe, then atom
bombs will rain on the Soviet Union.
The laborite Daily Herald: "The
Soviet policy is sinister. Western peo-
pie would be reckless if they ignored
its implications"
The conservative Daily Mail: RUS
sia has gone far enough. She must be
allowed to go no farther"

Red COuD
Spurs Union

CPURRED by developments in
" Finland and Czechoslovakia;
Britain, France and the low coun-
tries opened talks this week in
Brussels on formation of a "west-
ern union" in Europe.
Prime Minister Attlee, in a surprise
announcement to the House of Com
mons, said the conference would cover
all aspects of such, union-econOmic
social political and military. He said:
There is fear in Europe-wide-
spread fear-due mainly to a spread
OF relationships, intensified by events
of the last few days"
On January %, British Foreign Sec
retary Bevin called for a close eco
nomic, political and military alliance
of Britain, France and the Benelux
countries belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg to form the nu-
cleus for larger grouping of western
European demOcracieS. He termed it
a means of combating ruthless eff
forts by Russia to dominate the con-
tinent.
The Brussels talks presumably will
be concluded before a meeting in
Paris in mid-March of the Is Mar
shall plan countries.
While Finland threshed out its re-
ply to Premier Stains proposal for
friendship and mutual aid pact with
Russia, a wave of anti-Sovietism
swept Scandinavia.
Norway's Premier Elmer Gerhard
sen said: Leaders of the Norwegian
Communist Party are Comintern-
Cominform Communists. In their
hearts they are adherents of terror
and dictatorship ike-their comrades
in other countries"
Milford chronicle., 1948-03-12

Against this backdrop of urgency
and outright fear, Congress stepped
up its legislative pace. March is is
the target date for Senate decision on
the S5,SOO,OOO,00O European Recovery
Program.
In his opening address, Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg urged speedy passage Of
the bill to help stop World War III
before it starts. But time is of the es-
Sence, he said, and if a "beacon is ia
be lighted at all, it had better be
lighted before it is too late"
In one of the major speeches of his
long legislative career, Sen. Vanden-
berg said that Congress- decision could
be a turning point in history for 100
years to come.
A Threat to All
Already, he said, Czechoslovakia
has been "gutted by subversive con-
quest and aggressive Communism
threatens all freedom and security.
whether in the Old World or the New,
when it puts free peoples in chains.
The iron curtain, he declared, must
not come. to the Atlantic by aggression
or default.
Only American help, Vandenberg
said, can prevent economic chaos in
western Europe. Moscow's campaign
against the Marshall plan is treacher-
Gus propaganda, he said, stressing that
this is indeed cold war
He traced the evolution of the re-
covery program since Secretary Mar
Shalps speech at Harvard last June
and grimly pointed out that the ex-
posed frontiers of hazard move almost
hourly to the west" Urging rejection
of attempts to pare down the $780,
100000 total, he said those economies
might be the difference between sue
cess and StillbOrn failure"
At the conclusion of his speech, the
Michigan senator was accorded an
ovation by members of both parties.
Economy Bloc
Sen. Robert A. Taft and several
other Republicans are pressing for a
smaller total. Admitting the need for
economic aid abroad, they argue the
amount is too heavy a burden on tax
payers and national economy.
Meanwhile the House Foreign At
fairs Committee decided to lump
European aid in the same bill with
sums for relief of Greece, Turkey and
China. Exactly when it will come up
for debate on the House floor has net
been determined, but the House Com
mittee was writing its bill this week.
The Senate version of the Marshall
plan retains the principle of the four
year program proposed by Mr. Tru-
man, but it authorizes $500, ,OOO 600
for the first year instead of the $780,.
100000 suggested by the President for
the first Is months.
A separate bill actually appropriat-
ing the money will have to be passed
later. However, once the current bill
passes both houses, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation will advance
$1,OO00OO,O00 Immediately.

China
Hopeless But Never Serious,


The spring drive of the Chinese
Communists is the greatest they have
ever mounted in Manchuria. But for
eign observers in Shanghai who know
Communist military strategy doubt
the Reds yet are ready for an all out
assault on Mukden.
GeneralisSimo Chang Kai-shek's
forces have concentrated their major
Manchurian strength in the now iso-
lated industrial city. Mukden outposts
that have fallen to the Communists
were manned only by small garrisons
and unframed, poorly equipped local
militia.
Communist strategy traditionallv
has been to fight a war of attrition.
Their aim is to isolate headquarters
cities like Mukden and cut down gov
ernment defenses until such cities can
be taken without severe cost. Muk-
den, in the opinion of these experts
has not been reduced to that stage.
Some of Americas top military ex-
perts have advised Chang to give up
Manchuria without a fight. The Ma
tlonalist government retains onlv
one-tWentieth Of Manchuria.
The Americans have warned Chang
that the cost of keeping even that
slim corridor is too great.
The Nationalist position in Mancbu-
ria is critical. But it probably is not
as desperate as government propa-
gandists make out. Nanking NAV be
painting black picture in an effort
to win more American aid.

do more good in the Senate.
The Michigan Republican points out
there never has been a successful
presidential draft that didn't have
some help from the draftee.
Vandenberg sought this week to
keep his name off the Nebraska pres
idential primary ballot on April l9.
Asked specifically by the chairman of
the Nebraska primary committee if
he would accept the nomination by
the COP convention, Vandenberg
wired back that he declined to spec
ulate' on imprObables He repeated
that he was not a candidate.
Meanwhile the Democratic Admin
istration tried to defect some of the
heat of the southern Democratic re-
volt by heaping new fire on Henry
Wallace's third party.
Sen. ]. Howard McGrath of Rhode
Island, Democratic national chairman.
said: "a third party has as much
place in American politics as does a
third party on honeymoon"
Republicans will do all they can to
capitalize on the Democratic split.
Sen. Taft declaimed in Cleveland that
President Truman was riding a don
key without head or tail" Pointing
out that Wallace had bolted and the
southern wing was in rebellion, Taft
said; The party is not progressive, it
IS completely Ineffective"
In Florida on vacation, Mr.. Truman
parried the Jackpot question" "What
can you tell us about your own can
didacy in l948?" he was asked.
Mr.. Truman said he had been too
darned busy with foreign policy and
domestic affairs and hadn't had a
chance to think about it. The Presi-
dent Joined in the hearty laughter
that followed.

HOUSING: National BottIeneck

LN4FTEEN HUNDRED war vet
L Grams crowded the steps of
the national capitol this week.
They were delegates to a national
housing conference sponsored by
seven major veterans organiza-
tiOnS.
The 1900 ex-servicemen divided
into small committees. Each called on
its own senator and representative.
Their purpose: to find out exactly who
was for and who was against the Taft
ELIender-Wagner housing bill and it's
provision for public housing.
The delegates represented a sizable
chunk of young vigorous America.
They were too young to have enough
money to meet present inflated hous-
ing costs but not too young to fight
or vote. They came from the Veterans
OF Foreign Wars, Jewish War Veter-
ans, American Veterans Committee,
Disabled American Veterans, Amvets,
the American Legion and the Catholic
War Veterans.
They had wire from President
Truman urging them to Stimulate
dilatory Congress into action"
Truman Program
The President, earlier in a long
message to Congress, outlined what
he thought should be done. More
than 2,500,00O married couples are
now doubling up with other families
because of the housing shortage, he
estimated. He urged construction of
more than 100000 new houses and
apartments every year for the next
10 years in cities, plus others in rural
districts.
In 1947, nearly 100000 new homes
were built, but less than Is per cent
were built for rentals and too much of
1t, the President said, was "priced
beyond the means of those who need
it the most"
Mr.. Truman advocated revision of
federal building loans to provide
more incentive for rental building
and a research program to develop
new methods and materials.
Because private industry, alone,
could not in his opinion provide ade-
quate housing for low income groups.
the President urged federal funds suf-
ticlent to build 100000 public housing
units each year for the next five
years.
Many of these proposals already
have been before Congress in the BIZ

special session last year to cope with

The MBI had power to arrest with

The legislature authorized 100000

$4,000 was spent. At its peak, the

Five Caro|inians Tell
OF Theology Degrees
Sent by Mail From DC.
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. 6.-Five
North Carolina clergymen testified
at a Federal Trade Commission
hearing yesterday they had obtained
by mail and without study degrees
ranging from honorary bachelor of
theology to doctor of philosophy on
payment of $50 each to Mount
Vernon University of Washington.
| The institution, described on its
Ileterhead as Mount Vernon Univer-
sity operating as Christ Seminary, is
enlarged by the commission with
claiming that it maintains branch
seminaries in Fort Worth, Tex, and
Tampa, Fla, when in fact it has only
an Office and some classrooms in
Washington.
Neither the Rev. Samuel L. Lacy,
jr, nor nine other officers of the
school, named as respondents in
the ETC complaint, were present at
the hearing here.
The ministers testified that about
three years ago they had become
acquainted with the Rev. Mr.. Lacy
and the Rev. Fred Ninesley of
palmetto, Ga, when the latter held
