Clark Urges
 Drastic Controls On Alien Visitors
Monday. January IS. ls48
(BY T. s. Adams)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Attorney general Clark today approved drastic new controls to curb sub versive activity by alien visitors to the United States.
 Designed to provide much closer surveillance over the activities of such visitors, the new regulations are scheduled to become effective about March Is.
 After that time, the ordinary one-year visiting permit now in common use will be abolished, and the visiting privilege limited to three to six months.
 Extensions may be obtained, but they will require a showing that a more extended stay is jus tified.
 Department officials said the new rules are aimed solely at the alien who gets in as a visitor and then engages in subversive activ- ity.
 Clark acted under the admins trative procedures act in signing the proposed changes in regula- tions.
 These will be published some time next week in the federal reg ister, official government organ after which a period of 20 days will be allowed for receipt oi written arguments relative to the proposals"

Candhi Warned
 To Give Up Fast
lBy Milton Kelly

NEW DELHI, (P) -Mohandas K. Gandhi received douctor's warning Saturday to give up his fast, while thousands of his fol- lowers milled about Birla House in a showing of their devotion to him.
 The 78-year-old Hindu leaders doctors said that "in our opinion it is most undesirable" to let the fast continue. Gandhi gave no indica- tion he would heed this advice.
 The demonstration outside Birla House was one of wild adoration. It lasted an hour and was dis persed at the request of Jawharlal Nehru, India's prime minister.
 Gandhi's main condition for ending his fast is an end to com munal fighting.
 He said his demonstra n fought to lead to an honorable settlement" of the Kashmir ques- ton and "all differences" of other kinds between the predominantly Hindu Dominion of India and the Moslem Dominion of Pakistan.

Threaten Railroads With Nationwide Strike Feb. 6

CLEVELAND, {H) - Another nationwide railroad strike was threatened Saturday by three op- erating brotherhoods, who said they would walk out Feb. 6 unless given a 30 per cent pay increase and A changes in working rules.
 D. B. Robertson, president of thc brotherhood of locomotive firemen and enginenen, announced inc strike deadline here Friday night after chairman Frank p. Douglass of the national trailWay) media lior board revealed in Chicago he would advise President Truman that mediation efforts have broken down and an emergency existed.
 Under provisions of the railway laDor act, the President now may appoint a fact-finding board t0 in- vestigate the dispute and make recommendations. The board then had 30 days to hold hearings and report to the President. A 30-day "cooling-off" period is required before walk-out may start.
 Robertson said his union and the brotherhood of locomotive en- Gineers and the switchmen's union of North America would go ahead with strike plans" set for m. Feb. 6.
 A strike by the three unions, who claim a membership Of more than 238,OOO would affect about 240 railroads and switching yards m the country, Robertson eStini- ated.
 It appeared such WalkOut would halt rail movement as com pletely as in May, l946, when he brOtherhOodS of locomotive engiH- eers and railroad trainmen struck for 48 hours before capitulatirg to President Truman'S terms. as troops were being prepared to man the trains.

Dewey Announces Candidacy For President
tBy Henry Leader)

ALBANY, N. Y, (P) - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, out in the open at last as a declared candidate for the Republican Presidential nom- ination, will match strength against generals Dwight D. Eisen- hover and Douglas Macarthur in the nations first two Presidential primaries next spring.
 Full slates of Dewey candidates for election as delegates to the COP national convention at Phil adelphia June 21 will be entered in New Hampshire and Wisconsin.
 Opposing the New York gover- nor in New Hampshire will be slates backing Eisenhower and Harold E. Stassen, former govern GOT of Minnesota. The state will pick eight delegates March 9.
 In Wisconsin on April 6, Dewey 1944 Republican Presidential nom- inee, will be entered against fields supporting Macarthur and Stas- sen. The state has 27 delegate votes.
 Dewey's decision to test his strength first against the World War II supreme army command CTS in the European and Pacific theaterS becane known here less than 24 hours after he had an nounced his availability for the nomination through an aide.
 Dewey has been aggressively but privately seeking the Presi- dential nomination since early last summer. His open entry into the contest took Albany by surprise, however, as it had been stated au- thoritativeyl several times in the last few months that he would not become an avoWed aspirant.
 The shift in strategy was viewed here as a reflection of a lately de- veloped belief by the governors advisers that he would have to get his candidacy out in the open if he were to head off Eisenhower and the previously declared candidates Senator Robert A. Taft, of Ohio, Stassen and Gov. Earl Warren of California

House Members Recommend Jones Act Change

((P) Special Washington Service)
 w ASH NGTON, tP) - Two members of the House foreign af- fairs committee who visited Alas ka last year recommended Satur- day that the Jones Law be amend ed to permit Canadian ships to take freight and passengers to the Territory.
 Reps. Chiperfield R.-IllD and Jonkman R.-Mich), reporting to the full committee, said their sub group urges the appropriate com mittees of Congress give prompt attention and consideration to the advisability of amending the Jones Act to place Alaska on an equal basis with the coastal states and to permit Canadian vessels to en- gage in intercoastal trade in Alas ka.
 Under the Jones Act freight or iginating in the United States can be carried to a Canadian Pacific port by Canadian railroad and be delivered to Washington, Ore gon or California by Canadian vessel. The law prohibits the same vessel from delivering such freight to Alaska.
 The subcommittee called for improvement of the Alaska rail road, construction of a pipe line from Valdez to Fairbanks to de- liver oil to the military installa- tions at the latter place, providing ground telephone and telegraph wires for the commanding general of the Alaskan Command, hard surfacing of the Alaska Highway in Alaskan Territory and for other primary highways in the Alaskan Highway system.
 The report urgently" recom- mended that "our defense bases in the Territory and the routes to them, be expanded and maintained on basis of highest efficiency"
 Other suggestions it made: That members of the permanent { board on defense discuss with Ca nadian members of the board the question of improving and main taining the Alaska Highway.
 That this government might work out an agreement with Can ada to maintain the Haines Cutoff on the Alaska Highway. That this country construct and maintain customs free the Ross land-Laurier highway in exchange for the construction and mainten- ance by Canada of the Haines Cut off for free movement of American traffic.

Legislation Prepared
To Alter Oklahoma S
College Segregation
By the Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. s.
Oklahoma Negroes fighting college
segregation possibly made their first
real gain today on the heels of an
other courtroom defeat.
The State Government quietly
began work on bill for the next
Legislature that would alter Okla
homa's 40-year-old segregation laws.
It would give the Negro students
a large part of what they ask for.
Negro leaders say they will ap-
peal the segregation issue to both
State and Federal Supreme Courts.
Graduate Study at Issue.
If passed, the bill will open white
schools to Negroes when the State
Negro university at Langston does
not offer similar work.
This would apply mostly to grad
uate study. The all-white Univer-
sity of Oklahoma at Norman has 10
graduate courses which Langston
does rot offer.
The States new move, still IN the
drafting stage, came Immediately
after yesterdays latest rebuff for
the Negro cause at Norman.
District Judge Justin Hinshaw re-
fused to grant court orders to three
Negro women to let them attend
the white university.
Mrs. Fishers Case Is Up.
There were two separate cases.
One was the two-year-old suit
of Mrs. Ada Fisher, 23-year old
honor student from Chickasfla.
Twice already this case has been
before the Oklahoma and United
States Supreme Courts.
The other was comparatively
new suit of Mrs. Mauderie Hancock
Wilson and Miss Helen Maxine
Holmes.
All three want to enter the uni
versity's graduate school, and asked
writ of mandamus to compel ad-
mittance.

Trial Made Tojo Heroic
To Japs, Australian Says
Bv the Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 8
w. MacMahon Ball of Australia
former British Commonwealth rep
resentative on the Allied Control
Council in Tokyo, said yesterday
Gen. Hideki TOTO had become al
most a national hero in Japan after
his war crimes trial.
Mr.. Ball was commenting on a
published report that the japanese
trials were one of the most expens-
i've propaganda failures ever charged
to the American taxpayers.
Speeding up the trials would
have helped to prevent TOTO from
becoming a hero" Mr.. Ball said.
But it must be conceded that these
political trials are very different
from trials for direct acts of cruelty
Tracing the lines of political re-
sponsibility in a country like Japan
is a very delicate and difficult task"
The international war crimes
court in Tokyo reached decision
in the case of TOTO and his "a CO.
defendants July 27, but 1t has not
vet been announced.
