Houston Attacks Draft
As Harmful 10 Negro
By the Associated pre,x

KANSAS CITY, June 2e.-
Charles H. Houston. Washington
Negro lawyer, says that peacetime
military conscription would place
Negro youth under the most re-
dictionary elements in the country
Speaking at a convention Of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, Mr.
Houston declared last night:
"Peacetime military conscription
means that the country turns its
youth over to a military caste which
is not responsive to any demo:
cratic controls"
He said he did not believe either
. peacetime draft or universal mill
tary training Is essential to the
safety Of this country.
Mr.. Houston has been q leader
In number of NAACP court battles.
James Herndon of Atlanta told
the convention he believed Negro
youth will support the program of
civil disobedience against segrega-
ton in the armed forces"
Il believe" he said, "the attitude
Of Negro youth may be summed up
In this: If we must fight, let us
fight for democracy, Christianity
and OUR American way of life, let us
fight right here"

Public Welfare Board
To Increase Relief
Grants on Sept. |

Relief grants by the Board OF
Public Welfare will be increased,
beginning September l.
The board, at meeting yester-
day, expressed hope that all those
on relief would receive the extra
monies by the start of next year.
Aid to blind persons will be
boosted from $40 a month to $45
and aid to dependent children will
be increased 20 per cent, from about
s76 a month to $92. In addition,
the board raised the base on which
the grants will be given. The Well
fare Department now Is working
on 1912 prices, and it was decided
to raise them to the 1946 level.
Some of the increases result from
the amendment to the Social Secur-
ity Act, passed by the last Congress.
which will give increased funds
to welfare organizations.
The board approved the recon-
mendation made by Raymond
Clapp, principal assistant director
of the department, that the min
imum contribution Of 81 week per
child be established in the Child
Care Centers. The recommendation
followed one made by the Senate
District Committee that this should
be the minimum charge.
The board also approved the d.
rector's recommendation concerning
the budget estimates for 1850 for
the Child Welfare Division and the
Public Assistance Division but put
a ceiling OF $160 month as the
limit to any grant in any month.
This will effect between 20 and 80
persons with large families. The
board permitted grants In addition
to the ceiling, when required, for
such special items as furniture NOV
ing expenses, household services as
needed and special diets.
The special diets for some relief
recipients will be reinstated on doc
tors order, after they were dropped
last year.
The board also broadened its def
milton Of blindness so that any per-
son who is unable to compete with
other workers because Of poor eye
sight will be included In the aid

BRUSSELS, June 26.- Exiled
King Leopold says he will give up
his crown If the Belgians do not
want him, but he would like a ref
erendum on the question,

II am In favor Of general con-
sultation Of all Belgians. If this
consultation does not bring an in
disputable majority In favor Of my

This Changing World
Soviet Expected to Step Up Activities
Immediately, Fearing G. .O'P. Victory

|of the Republicans to preserve the
moral and spiritual unity Of the
country is not to be minimized.
This Judgment in Moscow Is basee
on reports from Soviet agents to ths
effect that the rank and file OF
American organized labor rapidly !.
breaking away from any connection
with Communist theology which
some of their leaders were attempt
ing to instill into them. They are
looking instead to the free life guar.
anteed to them by the Constitution
and the traditions OF American lib
eraliSm.
Relied on Sabotage.
It Is known to the American in
telhgence services that one of the
major weapons on which the Soviet
general stan was relying, in event OF
an armed conflict with the United
States, was disaffection and sabo-
tage by workers in American indus
trial plants, transportation and COM
munications
It was estimated by Moscow's
agents last year that some 60 per
cent of these workers could be relied
on to follow their leaders. The
Communist purges in the various
unions, which were carried out by
rank and file members In free vot-
ing, reduced that potential substan-
TALLY.
According to recent reports which
have leaked to this country from
Russia, there is distinct concern in
Moscow over the possibility that if
the Republicans win, as the Reds
consider highly probable, the entire
sabotage organization-both politi-
cal and industfial-so carefully Gre
ated since World War II will fall
apart.
Sees No Immediate Challenge.
Moscow Is convinced, however,
that the present administration will
not dare challenge any moves by
the U. S. s. r. which do not involve
armed aggression against American
forces. Thus intensiflcation Of the
Communist armed activities in
China; renewal of the separatist
in Azerbaijan; stimula-
ton OF confusion and fratricidal
strife in the ranks Of the newly
created state of Israel, and resump-
ton OF the squeeze on Western AL
lied forces in Berlin will be met with
sonorous protests from Washington,
but nothing more serious.
Moscow feels, according to avail
able reports, that it has only few
more months to put into effect its
expansionist policies without be-
coming involved in shooting war.
And 1t believes that much can be
accomplished in that time.

Three Parties Pleased
BY Dewey Choice, bu1
For Different Reasons
Copper Sure Of Victory;
Wallace, MeGroth See
Aid to Both Compoiens
By the Associofsd Press

Politicians of three parties ex.
pressed pleasure over the Repub.
lican nomination for Gov. Dewey
for President.
The Republicans we're playing il
straight. Senator Capper of Kan
sas, their oldest Senator, called the
tDewey-Warren combination won
derful" and predicted: The Repub-
licans will sweep the country"
Representative Mccormack o!
Massachusetts,, House Democratic
leader, took the line that the New
York Governor is politically vul-
nerable" and declared the chances
for q Democratic victory next fall
are most favorable"
Henry Wallace, who Is trying for
the White House on a third-party
ticket, said Gov. Dewey's nomina-
ton will help his own movement.
He said both the old-line parties
are supporting the cold war from
which stems the major problems OF
the American people"
Senator McGrath, of Rhode Island,
the Democratic national chairman,
declared "the Dewey machine steam
rollered Warren through the con-
vention" after a decision was reached
to lookup the Tafts and Martins
and Hallecks and Brickers like so
many skeletons in a closet until after
the election"
THE desperate efforts OF the
Dewey camp to shake off the alba
tross record Of the Eightieth Con-
gress is doomed to failure" Sena-
tor McGrath said. Dewey and
Warren may run away from the
Republican Congress but the facts
can't be erased"
President Truman had no official
comment on the Republican NOM
inees, but was quoted by a senatorial
visitor as saying the Republican
convention demonstrated that Con
servative interests are in control OF
that party.
Murray Derides Republicans.
That comment was relayed to the
press by Senator Murray, Montana
Democrat. He added that the Presi-
dent seemed to regard the (Re-
publican) platform as a reiteration
Of promises the Republicans have
failed to carry out in the past"
On his own hook, Senator Murray
declared:
"Once every four years the Re
publicans slip a pair Of overalls
over their gray-striped morning
pants and pretend to be concerned
about the men who do the work on
our farms and in our cities. They've
Just done it again"
Senaor Murray said he would like
to see the President call Congress
back into session and ask the Re
publicans to make good on past
promises of housing and lower
prices.
Senator Ball, Minnesota Repub-
lican, who backed Franklin D.
Roosevelt against Gov. Dewey four
years ago, told reporters he will
support Gov. Dewey this time.
Chairman Taber Of the House Ap-
propriations Committee, said he ex-
poets there will be little difference
between his views and Gov. Dewey's
on foreign aid.
II know that Gov. Dewey will
want honest administration of the
foreign aid program. When he does
that he will not need to appro-
pirate so much money to get things
DONE"

Stossen 'Squeeze-Out'
By the Assoeioied Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.-South-
ern Republicans see the nomination
of Gov Earl Warren Of California
for Vice President as the weight
needed to swing q tremendous num-
ber of normally Democratic votes
to the COP in November.
He won both the Republican and
Democratic nominations for Gov
ernor in California in 1946.
John Wilkinson, North Carolina
delegate and Republican senatorial
nominee, fatty predicted in second
ing Gov. Warrens nomination that
his party will carry the Tar Heel
State.
All was not peaceful, however, on
the Deep South Republican front.
Florida Delegate Critical.
Emory Akerman, Florida dele
gate and supporter Of Harold E.
Stassen for the presidential nomira-
ton, said that while he assumes "all
good Republicans" will support the
Warren ticket, there 'is strong re-
sentiment over the way things were
handled" at the convention.
Asked what Stassen supporters
resented, Mr.. Akerman said:
THE way Mr.. Stassen was
squeezed out for the vice presi-
Dental nomination., with nominat-
ing speeches going on until or
4 in the morning Cor President)
and with the way we took long day
rcesses and held long night ses-
sions."
Wisconsin Sentiment Similar.
Mr.. Akerman said he found some
what similar sentiment among Wis
consin's delegation, but hastily
added:
Everybody seems to think Gov
Warren is a very fine man and no
body blames him for the way things
were run"
c. C. Spades, chairman of the
Florida delegation and its new ma
tional committeeman, said he
thinks the selection of Gov. Dewey,
whom he supported, is perfectly
splendid"
Il think Gov. Warren will have
q tremendous appeal in the South
because of his dual-party position
in California" Mr.. Spades said. II
think he will appeal to Democrats
as well as Republicans.
George Norwood, South Carolina
national committeeman and an
original supporter Of Senator Taft
of Ohio, said he was very much
pleased with the presidential ticket"
and that Gov. Dewey always had
been his choice, next to Senator
Taft.
South Carolina Dubious.
II suspect Gov. Warren will add
strength in the South" Mr.. Nor
wood said. II believe we will carry
North Carolina"
Asked about COP chances in
strongly Democratic South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Norwood replied: I'm
sorry to say 1t, but I don't believe
we have much chance of carrying
my State"
Alabama Chairman Claude o.
Vardaman said:
1T is the strongest possible ticket
we could have nominated. I think
It's election is a foregone conclusion.
1t will get tremendous vote in
Alabama"
Harry Sommers, Atlanta automo-
bile dealer who succeeded Wilson
Williams as national committeeman
from Georgia, said:

publican Party has had in my life
time"
