Stand on Palestine as
|DiseracefuI Reversal
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

ST. PAUL, MINI. Mar. 2o.-Harold
Stassen tonight called United States
moves to give up Palestine partition
a disgraceful countermarch In our
foreign policy.
Mr.. Stassen, q candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
made the statement In speech at
a rally following the Republican
State Convention.
"A confused change is proposed to
the Security Council for the amaz-
ing reason that lawless Arab re-
sistance to the United Nations. de-
cision persists" the former Minne-
sofa governor said. What an in
vitation to international anarchy
that turns out to be.
1T Is distressing and saddening
to observe that the Characteristic
OF our present administrations
foreign policy appears to be that
when q decision Is needed there Is
delay and cunfusion; that when
finally made it Is established in
secret; that when 1t is exposed, BIZ
partisan support is requested: and
finally when 1t Is understood it is
abruptly reversed.
II plead the urgent necessity OF
an open presentation to the Ameri-
can people OF the true facts of the
world situation, OF genuine bi-par-
tisan discussion and constructive
agreement, and then firm support
and augmentation on basis of
the great moral principles which
America Is founded"
The convention was called to COM
plete Minnesotas delegation Of rs
to the Republican National Conven-
ton. Eighteen Stassen-pledged
delegates were chosen earlier In
district meetings. Seven at-large
delegates were elected today.
.,'I want to report to you; with
humility" Mr.. Stassen said early
In his talk, that the prospects are
bright today that the people of
America will do In 194s what the
people Of Minnesota did In 1885"
Mr.. stassen was elected governor
that year.

Draft Poll
Continued From First Pase.)

retary of State Marshall and secre-
tary Of Defense Forrestal. =
A majority OF the 81 polled said
they want to do what is necessary
to keep this country's military
strength at par in the face Of Rus
sian entertainments on Europe.
But many of those who gave pub
lie support to the draft and UNIT
or both, attached their own condi-
tions. Many said they would support
one, but not both, of the proposals
When the poll was taken, Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, was non
committal on the question of the
draft, but he said yesterday at
Springfield, Ohio:
"If it can be shown that there Is
no other, way in which to get the
men necessary for the force deter
mined to be essential for defense
there seems no escape from setting
up temporarily the selective draft
machinery"
Senator Taft is opposed to univer-
sal military training.
Maybank for Draft, Against UNIT.
Senator Maybank, Democrat, of
South Carolina, a member of the
Armed Services Committee, said:
"I'l vote for the best possible
draft system to defend the United
States. eliminating the boys who
fought the battles OF World War
II. But If we have selective service,
I don't see much sense in having
universal military training, too"
Some Democrats, including sena-
tors McGrath of Rhode Island, the
national party chairman; Hatch Of
New Mexico, Green Of Rhode Island
and Eastland Of mississippi, said
they will vote for both. --.
Other Senators cited certain con-
ditions under which they would vote
for one or both.
They May Vote for Both.
Senator Thye, Republican OF
Minnesota, a supporter Of Harold
e. Stassen, COP presidential aspi-
rant, said he will vote for either or
both II the Armed Services Commit
tee recommends them.
Senator Dworshak, Republican of
Idaho, said he is against UNIT but
will support the draft "if the need
is as acute as represented. Senator
Moore, Republican of Oklahoma, had
about the same slant.
Senator Capehart, Republican of
Indiana, said: g.. .
Il. won't hesitate on attemporary
draft, if, in the opinion of the Presi-
dent war is imminetn, but I want
more information before saddling
the Nation with UNIT for the next
100 years"
How Senators Lime Up.
Here is how the Senators willing
to express their opinion publicly

before the tragedy and that it ap-
peared to be losing a wing.

by Mr. Lewis as bosses of the in
dustry are all heads of big coal,
steel or railroad companies. 1t
was noted that Mr.. Lewis refrained
from saying that he would attend
the meeting personally.
Argument Over Pension.
The walkout OF miners began last
Monday after Mr.. Lewis had ad-
dressed letter to the UNIV men,
bership charging that the. operators
for eight months had obstructed
activation of the welfare and re-
tirement fund and thereby had dis
honored" their contract.
Mr.. Lewis has asked that the
trustees approve a 500 monthly
pension for miners with 20 years
service who are go years old or
older. Mr.. Van Horn, supported by
the operators, refused. They pro-
duced actuarial studies designed to
show that the fund, raised by a tax
of 10 cents per ton on all coal pro-
duced. would not support such a
pension, especially if it is to be dis
bursed for other walfare uses speci-
fled in the contract.
Most of the argument, however
has been over who should be elig-
ible to receive a pension. Mr.. Lewis
demand repeatedly includes all
members of the UNIV in good
standing. The operators countered
that it would make eligible possibly
thousands of miners who have left
the industry and additional thous-
ands of UNIV members employed
by several employers who have not
signed the contract, and hence do
not pay into the fund.
Taft Act May Be Involved.
If the conference with Mr.. Ching
fails to bring the disputants closer
together, the Government was pre-
pared to invoke the snational
emergency provisions of the Taft
Hartley Act. President Truman
would appeal to the miners to re-
turn to work, and appoint a board
to look into the dispute. After
lllC UOdlO IcpOl 10, AGlOlllcy 1GllcI dl
Clark is empowered to get court
injunction against the stoppage.
1t was not held likely, however,
that Mr.. Lewis, bitter foe of the
labor law, would go along with any
of its provisions. Federal officials
admit that enforcement of any in
junction would be difficult.
The Chamber of Commerce ap-
peal for an end of the mine walk
out was made by Earl Shreve, presi-
dent, and his board of directors.
They said:
Let the issues be resolved with
fairness and dispatch. and let coal
production continue while they are
under discussion. The Nation can
not wait upon prolonged debates"

On Seven Hits

Detroit, Sept. 25-(AP)-Gene
Bearden, the pitcher the New
York Yankees gave up on two
years ago, kept the Cleveland
Indians in a tie with Boston for
the American League lead today
when he hurled the Tribe to a
SO victory over the Detroit tt
gers.
The triumph gave Cleveland go
victories against Sc defeats, the
same as the Red Sox who knock
ed the Yankees out of a three
way tie into third place. one full
game behind when they whipped
the Bronxites in their back yard,

Beardne limited the Tigers to
seven hits in registering his 18th
victory against only seven de-
feats in his first full season in
the major leagues. 1t was his
third straight against Detroit
without SetbaCK.
A Purple Heart Navy veteran,
Bearden was discarded by the
Yankees because they felt he
never would fully recover from
his war injuries which nearly
cost him his life. Gene spent
two years in the hospital before
he was able to walk. A miracle
operation which necessitated a.
lunlium plates in his head and
right knee, saved his life.
A partisan Tiger crowd of 80,
087 paid fans had visions of a
no-hitter for awhile as the 90
year-old rookie southpaw retired
the first Is men in order. Lead
off man Eddie Lipon worked
Bearden for pass to open the
first inning for Detroit, but was
erased by a double play. There
after Bearden moved the Tigers
down like 10 pins in a bowling
alley, until George Vico opened
the last half of the SIKH with a
whistling two-bagger off the

The Indians supported Bear
den with a 14-hit attack against
five fingers starting with Virgil
Trucks, the loser. Lou Kretlow,
Art Houtteman, Stubby Over
mire and Paul Dizzy Trout flo
lowed in that order. None es-
capped punishment. Three of
them, Kretlow, Houtteman and
Overmire, were on the receiving
end when the Tribe wrapped up
the game in the fifth inning with
a five-run barrage on four hits,
three bases on balls and two De-
trolt errors.
