Senator Capper, Republican, OF
Kansas has a formula for eliminat-
ing racial segregation in the Dis
triet's Fairgrounds and schools, a
goal which he favors, but says can
not be attained all at once by legis-
lation.
The veteran Senator outlined his
formula on the Americans All" pro-
gram over Radio Station WOOk
yesterday while being interviewed by
DR.. Tomlinson D. Todd, president of
the Institute on Race Relations.
His formula proposed:
That the long range objective
should be complete non-segregation,
but this should be reached through
two Intermediary steps. First, as a
short range objective, equally good
facilities should be obtained in the
present segregated schools and play
grounds. Then, as a medium objec-
tive, complete non segregation
should be introduced in selected
facilities and extended gradually
until the main goal has been
reached.
Inherent Prejudices Noted.
There are a large number OF
District residents who have inner
tied certain social prejudices," Sen
ator Capper declared. Il would like
to think these can be overcome all
at once by legislation, but perma-
nent changes in social habits are
a matter of gradual development,
and come from changing the out
looks on life instead of just by
passing laws and changing regula-
tions."
Senator Capper said he thought
the legal attack" on the dual school
system here by minority groups was
an effective way to speed the early
provision of equal facilities.
The 83-year-old Senator, who Is
retiring this year after 80 years in
Congress, has this to say in COM
menting on the gradual abolition
OF segregation:
"I am inclined to believe the long
range objective can be accomplished
with nearly unanimous support and
at an earlier date this way. and
with fewer disturbances and heart
aches, than trying to do 1t all in
one step.
1T takes. time and patience to
change peoples ways Of thinking"
As for segregation In the armed
forces, Senator Capper said he felt
it would be easy to make serious
mistake" there. He said he was
for nonsegregation in the Army
and Navy to the extent that ma
tional security heads believe 1t Is
workable under emergency condi-
tions."

Virginia Party Group
Considers Setup 10
Push Truman Drive
by ne Assoeiofsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 27.-For-
nation of State Truman-B -Barkley
headquarters to manage the Presi-
dents campaign in Virginia was un-
der active consideration" today by
group of Democratic political
leaders who didn't like Saturdays
resolution Of the State General Com
mittee.
None OF the Truman leaders
was ready to be quoted by name,
but one said:
Don't be surprised If we set 1t
up. Running a headquarters and q
campaign would be a big undertak-
ing that would cost some money
and require great amount of time,
but We won't let the Presidents
campaign go by default If We can
help it."
Unless this group steps forward
with a Truman-Barkley flag, it ap-
peared likely today to most political
observers that no organized effort
whatever would be made for the
national Democratic slate.
FTcSl0ent NOT Ment10ne0.
The central committees resolu-
ton did not mention the President
by name; 1t instructed the State
chairman only to establish a head
quarters in Richmond, and to en-
ploy such assistants as he may
deem necessary for the purpose of
getting out the full Democratic
vote on November O."
Asked for an Interpretation of the
committees resolution-how Demo-
Gratis are supposed to vote in the
Presidential election-former Sem
ator Thomas G. Burch of Martins
vile had blunt answer:
Let 'em free wheel"
E. r. Combs, former Democratic
national committeeman and long q
power in the Byrd political organ
ization, concurred with Mr.. Burch.
The resolution, he observed, called
upon Democrats only to go to the
polls.
Five Democrats Hit Action.
He added:
Il suppose they can do as they
please after they get there"
The committees action, or lack
of action, brought immediate crit
icism from five pro-Truman Demo-
Gratis who declared that the COM
mittee will be held accountable by
the Democrats of Virginia" if it
fails to do its duty "by the entire
Democratic ticket"
A statement containing this
warning was released by Delegate

Taber Ready 10 Use
Meat Ak on Budget
Even il Dewey Wins
BY the Assesiotsd Press

Representative Taber, Republican,
of New York served notice today
that he'll have his "meat-ax" ready
for the next Federal budget.
It makes no difference to him,
Mr.. Taber said, whether the occu-
pant Of the White House is Re-
publican or Q Democrat, come Jan.
uary.
Being a good Republican, Mr..
Taber said he has no doubt that 1t
will be his fellow New Yorker, Gov.
Dewey. But q budget Is q budget,
the chairman Of the House Appro-
priations Committee asserted. and:
Regardless of whose budget it is.
if it's loaded with fat I'll be obliged
to try to cut it."
Sees Payroll Cut.
Mr.. Taber himself uses the term
"meat-ax" when he talks of chop
ping Federal money requests.
Regardless of the election out
come. President Truman will send
the new budget to Congress early in
January. If Gov. Dewey wins, how
ever, he will have time to submit his
own estimates before Mr.. Taber's
committee gets around to saying
what it thinks the various depart
ments should spend during the year
starting next July /.
Mr.. Taber isn't ready to make any
predictions on that score. There are
many uncertainties, especially In
the world situation, he said.
But he'll be in there slugging
for a reduction in the Federal
payroll.
Doesn't Expect War.
The payroll, he said, should be
trimmed at least 100000 under
present conditions" And If the in
ternational situation improves,
making possible a reduction in oc-
cupation costs, he thinks the slash
should be much greater.
AS for United States Russian re-
lations, Mr.. Taber said:
II don't believe there will be q
war. That is, there won't be war
If the situation Is treated with
proper firmness."

Israel Reports Gains
lin Northern Offensive
Rejects u. n. Order
by the Associated Press

TEL AVN, Israel, Oct. 30.-An
Israel army spokesman said to-
night the Jews have captured
several positions in their new
Northern Palestine offensive and
that the United Nations cease
fire order could not be accepted
Internationally.
U. N. truce headquarters at Haifa
reported Israeli troops on the move
almost the length of the northern
border with Lebanon. 1t ordered
both sides to cease fire at 4 pm,
Israeli time today q am, Eastern
Standard Time.
Four hours after the deadline the
Israeli army said the government
was still considering the offer but
saw no way to accept 1t until full
guarantees were given that irregu-
lar Arab forces OF FawN Bey Ell
Kaukji withdrew from heights they
occupied last week.
Positions Being Recaptured.
1--WE cannot avoid our action as
long as these guarantees are not
given, especially since Kaukji COM
monty disregards not only United
Nations orders but also orders of
the Lebanese who are responsible
for this irregular army" the spokes-
man said.
Although U. N. quarters and
Arabic broadcasts reported the Jews
were on wide offensive, scarcely a
week after the defeat of the Egyp-
tians in the south, Jewish COM
muniques indicated serious fighting
was limited to recapturing positions
Kaukji's men are alleged to have
taken north of Lake Hula in the
northeastern tip Of Palestine.
U. N. truce officials in Haifa got
reports that Jews had captured the
Arab town Of Sa 'Sa, two and a half
miles south of the Lebanese border.
The reports said large-scale fighting
in Western Gali1ee had decreased
but heavy battles still rage in East
ern Galilee where Kaukji's forces
hold the town of AL Maliqiya.
CThe Egyptian War Ministry in
Cairo said Jewish attacks on
some positions in the South also
were repulsed)
Wide Attacks Reported.
Arabic broadcasts said Israeli's
forces were on the march all along
the northern front. U. N. observ-
ers said the Jews were attacking
with artillery. planes and troops
along 20-mile arc from Tarshiha
to Lake Hula.
There were unconfirned reports
that Tarshiha, u miles northeast
Of Acre on the coast, had fallen
after repeated bombing and land
attacks. Tarshiha is the main base
of Kaukjis irregulars.
Other reports to U. N. truce head
quarters at Haifa said the Jews
had cleared the road from Acre to
Salad, 20 miles northeast.
An Israeli army communique in
dicated hard fighting was going on,
but said the operations were re-
stricted to a Jewish counter ATTACK
to drive out Syrians, Lebanese and
Kaukji's liberation army from
heights the Arabs had seized in the
Menarah region north Of Lake
Hula.

Lebanon government previously

The mediator's suggestion would
run counter to the Arab policy here
tofore Of refusing to negotiate with
Israel on the grounds that negotia-
tions would be a recognition of the

The informant said DR.. Bunche

members Of Security Council sub
committee which yesterday received

the Negeb desert.

DR.. Bunche was said to have en-

ton of Arabs and Jews not to re-

troops, however, would not be per-

The permanent truce line would be
negotiated directly by Israel and

The subcommittee received the
problem yesterday when the United

its support of the sanctions resolu-
ton in the Security Council. The
resolution was then referred to the
