List Of Red Violations
Published by Senators

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee today made public a
State Department list of 81 specific
violations of agreements by Soviet
Russia since the close of the war.
Submitted in response to a reso-
luton introduced by 81 Senators, the
document takes up each major part
of the world separately, and pre-
sents in parallel columns the agree
ments made by the Allied powers
during World War II and the in
stances in which this Government
contends the Russians have failed to
live up to the understandings.
The report, which Chairman VAN
denberg will file with the Senate.
points out that all of the specific
indictments have been disclosed at
one time or another. The value of
the document lies in tabulating all
of the cases.
Since publication of the list
achieves the objective sought in the
resolution, the Foreign Relations
Committee is recommending that
further consideration of it be in
definitely postponed.
The violations listed by the State
Department are divided geograph-
ically as follows:
In Germany, 10; Austria, 7; East
ern and Southeastern Europe, 13;
Korea, 4, and Manchuria. 3.

between a Navy-Cornell boat
race and an Army-Navy baseball
game.
The occasion was June Week at
Annapolis. that traditional series of
athletic, social and scholastic events

and graduates alike.
Greeted by 2l-gun salute on his
arrival at 3 am, the President and
his party anchored of the academy
after an all-night cruise from Wash
ington on the Williamsburg.
Shortly after $50 am, Secretary
of the Navy Sullivan, Admiral Louis

loway, jr., academy superintendent,
boarded the yacht to welcome Mr..

small Navy boat to watch Naval
Academy's eight-man crew battle
the undefeated Red of Cornell over

Mr.. Truman saw Nays third
varsity trim Cornell by four lengths
in the first of four races.
After a stormy outlook the sun
came out and the weather prospects
frightened for both the boat races
and the baseball game later.
The President was loosening his
left arm for real service at the
baseball game. Veteran of two first
pitches opening the big league sea-
sons, he was to toss the first ball
of the service contest.

The bureau expected scattered
showers today and tonight with a
change for the better tomorrow.
The prospects are for clearing skies,
less humidity and high tempera-
ture somewhere in the 70s.
These conditions suited the fancy
of thousands of persons who headed
away from the city by automobile,
train, airplane and bus. For them
it was a forerunner of the summer
time habit of dashing off to resorts
on week ends for wholesale por-

By the Associated Press

today against confirmation OF
any further major appointments

to-four-year terms for the other
four members.
Brannan Approved.
The Senate gave its approval yes
terday to the Presidents choice OF
Charles F. Brannan of Colorado to
be Secretary of Agriculture. Repub-
licans said they felt no cabinet ap-
pointment should be held up.
But their reported ban probably
will mean no action on five pending
nominations-three for Government
agencies and two for the United
States Tax Court.
The three agency nominees are
Thomas C. Buchanan of Pennsyl-
vania, to be member of the Fed
eral Power Commission for the term
ending June %, 1852; James Boyd
of Colorado to be director of the
Bureau of Mines and Richard B.

change Commission.
Tax Court Nominees.
The Tax Court nominees are Miss
Marion J. Harron of California and

were reappointed by Mr.. Truman
after some Republicans repeatedly
suggested replacing them with COP
party members.

pected to hold up hundreds of post
