So successful was the Russian spy ring in penetrating innermost Japanese Government circles, that some of the war lords most vital secrets were transmitted by short wave radio to Moscow The spies learned among other things that:

Taft SET TO Campaign
For Dewey, Warren;
Martin Sees Victory
By the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said today he is ready to campaign
for the Dewey-Warren presidential
team, and Speaker Martin predicted
a sweeping Republican victory.
Back from his losing fight for the
Republican presidential nomination,
Senator Taft looked fit. Speaker
Martin, who was chairman of the
party convention and won few
votes for the nomination himself,
also was cheerful.
Speaker Martin said he is con-
vinced from reports he has received
from all over the country that the
Dewey-Warr ticket will sweep
the Democrats out"
He also told newsmen he believes
the Republicans will pick up Is new
House seats in the forthcoming elec-
tions and lone or two, perhaps
more in the Senate.
Foreign Policy to Be Target.
Speaker Martin said the Truman
administrations foreign policy will
almost certainly rank high among
the targets of Republican attack.
People are dissatisfied, he said,
because President Truman has made
mo progress" in foreign relations.
He said any new friction with the
Russians might we'll convince the
voters of this country that we need
somebody who can work things out
with Russia"
Turning to the high cost of living,
Speaker Martin said:
The Republican Party is not
worried about Democratic threats to
make that a major issue. The
Democrats have run the Govern
ment, and President Truman is as
much to blame as anybody on that
score"
So far as the COP high COM
mand is concerned. he said, there
are no plans at this time to recall
Congress this summer. And he said
there are no major problems in
sight now which would warrant the
President in calling the lawmakers
into special session before their
|
scheduled return next January.
Senator Taft also said he sees no
reason for special session of Con-
gress.
The only legislation remaining" :"
he said, has provoked fundamental
differences and it might just as well
be left to the next session of Con-
gress."
After cleaning up accumulated
work here, Senator Taft will go to
his Cincinatti home for week.
Then he and Mrs. Taft will take
a lengthy vacation in Quebec.
Senator Moore. Republican, of
Oklahoma, one of Senator Taft's
hackers for the nomination, PROM
ised he would do his utmost in
Oklahoma for the Republican
ticket.
Senator Moore released a letter
to Gov Dewey in which he urged
Gov. Dewey to support Representa-
tive Aizley in his campaign for
Senator Moore's senate seat. Sem
ator Moore is to retire.

The former vice president, presi-
dental candidate of the New Party,
told news conference that. on the
contrary, the Republican Party looks
on him as an enemy equal to the
Democrats.
AS for the two major party candi-
dates, he said, the only difference
between them is that "Dewey's adj
visers come from New York instead
of Missouri"
Mr.. Wallace, starting a "folksy
talk" campaign tour of New England,
told reporters the Republican Party
does not agree that his New Party
will aid COP victory in November

He strongly supported both the

'0f Threat 10 Economy
ey the Assoeiotsd Press

POLAND SPRING, Me-, June 26.-I
The president of the American
Bankers Association said today
there is "a distinct threat to our
form OF economy" because individ-
uals are not encouraged to risk saw
ings reserves in business.
Business and industry more and
more must rely upon their own
profits for their capitalization" Jo-
seph M. Dodge of Detroit told the
Maine Bankers Association.
This favors the most strong
ly established concerns against
smaller or new enterprises ."
Overall savings accumulations
have dropped by $4,000, 900 900, he
said, adding this was serious because
the savings of the American people
have been the source OF their Sc
curity."
There are walls about the high
cost of living or the imitation or the
taxes or the acts Of city, State or
National Government-andn no reah-
zation of the fact that 1t IS expendi-
ture and debt which are the sources
of the trouble" Mr.. Dodge said.
