Communist Label Scored
By Wallace Supporter

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 3 DR.
A Wallace supporter asserted today
that any one, including the Presi-
dent, who labeled third-party mem
bers Communists was guilty of
breaking one of the Ten Command
ments.
In an apparent reference to Presi-
dent Truman's recent denunciation
Of Henry A. wallace and "his Com
munists.", James Waterman Wise.
member of the national Wallace-for-
President Committee, said in a pre-
pared speech:
ITO denounce these millions of
Americans as Communists-no mat
ter how exalted the Office of him
who makes the charges to bear
false witness against thy neighbor.
Even the presidency does not en-
title a man to break the Ten Com
mandments."
Mr.. Wise's speech keynoted the
State convention called to band
Connecticut Wallace supporters into
a formal State political party. On
the agenda also was selection of
presidential electors pledged to the
former Vice President and his run
ming mate, Senator Taylor, Demo-
crat, of Idaho.

Navy Silent on Report
Atomic Force Sailed
In Sight Of Red Ship
BY the Associated Press

HONOLULU, April 3.-The Navy
remained silent today on a Homo
lulu newspapers story that an
atomic task force sailed March 8 for
the supersecret Eniwetok testing
ground in full view of a Russian
ship.
The story in the Honolulu Adver-
tiser also speculated that initial
phases of the tests had been under
way for two weeks and that they
may involve guided missiles with
atomic warheads.
The story. published Wednesday,
said the flagship Mount Mckinley
sailed from Pearl Harbor while the
Russian motorship Dnestr was in
easy binocular distance" in Homo
lulu Harbor.
Course Near Closed Area.
Furthermore, the Advertiser said,
four Russian sailing ships had de-
parted only the day before. All five,
it added, will travel in consort to
Vladivostok on a course that nor
mally would take them close to the
10000 square miles around Eniwetok,
which the United States closed to
all foreign shipping.
The Navy had asked all news
papers and news agencies in Homo
lulu not to mention ship movements
to Eniwetok on the sailing date. 1t
said such news would furnish clue
to Eniwetok experiment time tables.
Buck Buchwach, military reporter,
said the story of the ship movement
was published only after the United
Press distributed a Washington
story speculating that a new atomic
bomb had been or soon would be
exploded. He said that made it
clear that security had broken down.
The Advertiser speculated that
first phases of the new tests had
been under way for two weeks. 1t
discounted published speculation
from Washington that deep test
would use German submarine for
guinea pig.
Instruments to Be Used.
1t reported Rear Admiral William
s. Parsons, deputy task force COM
mander, said shortly before he left
for Eniwetok that instruments would
be used instead of ships in recording
damage effects.
Honolulu observers expressed the
opinion that large number of en-
gineering personnel on Eniwetok in
dicated heavy launching ramps
might he constructed To test pllided
missiles with atomic warheads, the
Advertiser added.
The newspaper said key personnel
aboard the Mount Mckinley in
cluded 1t. Gen. John E. Hull, Eni-
wetok task force commander; Maj.
Gen. William E. Kepner. deputy
commander; Admiral Parsons and
Karol K. Froman, scientific direc-
tor of the Eniwetok grounds.

visit to Williamsburg, Va, where
he spent a few hours yesterday

in the South. Both received
honorary degrees from William
and Mary College.
Outwardly, the amenities were
preserved as the President and Gov
ernor met. Gov Tuck welcomed the
President at the college. and the
only hint OF the civil rights issue
stirred by the President came when
the Virginia executive declared in q
brief speech that Virginians we're
determined to preserve the rights"
for which their forefathers had
fought.
Mr.. Truman steered clear Of do
mestic issues in the extemporaneous
remarks he made in accepting the
degree, simply reiterating his hopes
for world peace.
Joke About Fighting Clothes
After the ceremonies, when the
President and Governor were being
photographed in their academic
robes, Mr.. Truman jokingly re-
marked that they think we're going
to fight"
"Mr. President, you know we GER
tainly wouldn't fight with these
clothes on" the Governor responded.
Later. there was luncheon, and
then the President said his good
bys to Gov. Tuck, Prime Minister
w. L. Mackenzie King of Canada,
and .Viscount Alexander, Canada's
Governor General, who also were
honored with degrees by William
and Mary.
Accompanied by John D. Rocke.

ested in the Williamsburg restora-
ton project, Mr. Truman then
visited the Governors Palace and
gardens. He left from Yorktown on
the yacht Williamsburg at 4:45

pute with soft-coal operators over q
miners pension, beginning with his
letter to the miners March IL in
which he accused the operators OF
dishonoring their contract in refus-
ing to agree on pensions.
Seen Preparing for Battle.
The letter. was interpreted as an
effort on the part of Mr.. Lewis to
prepare the record for his probable
court appearance in the injunction
matter.
However, It could start back-to-
work movements in the coal fields,
although Mr.. Lewis did not tell them
they should return.
He pointed out that his March II
letter has been interpreted by "the
press, many officials in Government
and the coal industry as a call to
the miners to strike. Then he con-
tinued:
1T is well known to you that I
have not in connection with the
present dispute, either by the circu-
lar of March IL, or by any other
circular or document, or at any
other time authorized, directed,

mended any stoppage of work or
any continuation of any stoppage

"Your actions in this regard in
the original instance were your own,
individually determined by you. I

the matter in your local union so
that our membership may be fully
advised" Such discussions as may
have been held, or which you may
hereafter desire, have been, and will
continue to be, on your own in
itiative. As far as know it is still
the inherent right and privilege, of
American citizens to continue to ex-
ercise the right of free speech and
freedom OF assembly.
"Any action or decision which you
may now care to take continues to
be entirely for your own determina-
ton without direction of any
character from me or from any Of
your international officers.
IT, therefore, now repeat that you
