Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF

wants to study details of the Senate

krock Says He Doubts
Wallace Will Stay in
Race Until November.
hx the Asoeiated Press

CHICAGO, May 26.-Arthur Krock
OF the New York Times says he
doubts that Henry A. Wallace will
continue his third-party bid fol
President through to the Novem-
ber polls"
If Mr.. Wallace "stays in the race
do not think he will carry State,
said MIR. Krock, chief correspondent
of the Washington bureau OF the
Times. He spoke yesterday at q
Times luncheon for Chicago indus
trialists, bankers, business and ad-
vertising men.
Mr.. Wallace has said repeatedly
that he is in the race to stay.
Cites "Fluttering Mind
Mr.. Krock said his doubt is basec
on what he called Mr.. Wallace
"f1uttering mind" and ability te
find an occasion, if he wants tt
find one. to withdraw his candi.
dacy.' He added:
His most improbable out is that
President Truman will withdraw OF
be rejected by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, in which case
Wallace probably could discover 8
road back in the candidate and
PLATFORM Certainly If Justice Will
liam O. Douglas were nominated he
would hit the homeWard trail.
"A more open prospect is a turn
in world events, particularly in So
viet-American relations, that would
give him the reason I think he
would welcome.
Truman Chances Slim.
"If he could say with personal
conviction-and his ability to con-
vince himself of anything is fabu-
lous-that his political intervention
had produced peace with honor, l
think he would abandon his third
party candidacy"
Mr.. Krock also expressed belief
that Mr.. Wallace's vote in any
State will not equal the difference
in the votes cast for the winner and
I do not think he will
be responsible for the result in any
State, much less that in the Ma
ton"
Mr.. Krock said only Providence or
President Truman himself can pre-
vent Mr.. Truman's denomination.
With reservations, he said Mr.. Tru-
mans chance of election now zap
pears very slim" He said nomina-
ton OF any particular one of the
leading Republican contenders Is "a
most uncertain prospect"

BY the Assoeiossd Press

Senator Wherry. Republican, Of
Nebraska, said today he has learned
unofficially the Commerce Depart
ment plans to resume granting ex-
port licenses for shipments of steel
to Saudi Arabia.
Senator Wherry said the staff of
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee which he heads has been
told by officials of the Arabian
American Oil Co. that they have
scheduleda shipment of $4,000 tons
of steel for a Trans-Arabian pipe
line.
At the insistence of Senator
Wherry and of industry groups, the
Commerce Department had held up
all export licenses for the second
quarter of this year. ~
Question Is Studied.
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
told the committee several weeks
ago the whole question was being
studied by the Defense Departments
and the joint chiefs of staff 10
determine whether the pipeline
could be protected.
Senator Wherry said at hearing
today he has learned from the oil
company that it has ordered ship
ping for 5000 tons of steel on June
II, 5000 tons more on June Is and
5000 tons on June 81.
The company had sought export
permits for $1,000 tons of steel for
the months of April, May and June.
OF this amount only 5000 tons has
been approved for export. Com
merce Department officials said
several weeks ago that the small
shipment was permitted because
shipping space was available on q
vessel bound for the Middle East.
Information Sought.
Senator Wherry Immediately di-,
rected the committee staff to ask
the department. whether 1t will grant
licenses for the additional $4,000
tons.

is going to call Mr.. Forrestal before
the committee again for "a positive
statement about the defensibilitv

from the Persian Gulf to the Med
iterranean.
There has been considerable crit
icism of the project in Congress.
In recent report, the old Senate

for $1,000 sent up to the platform
by Mrs. Luke I. Wilson. 8080 Rock

their criticism for having sentenced

as "one of the heroes of 194S,' as
serted that "the Soviet Union has
solved the problem of minorities. p"

Appeal Made By

The towering mountains of smoke

March and April are sure to be re-

or appreciation of natures kindness

Damage from forest fires in this
state are estimated to cost the peo-
pie Some eight or ten millions an

cent of the potential tree crop Of
tomorrow. u. S. Forest Service re-
appraisal shows that we are now de-
pleting our forest considerably faster
than in previous years. This means
that we r now going to be forced
to curtail u output of forest pro-
ducts or grow more wood to offset
this cycle of depletion.
To keep Mississippi's Forest Green

Newspapers and radio stations have
given graciously of their time and

groups have sponsored programs to
inform the public of the many bene-
fits to be derived.
Here is a real challenge to the
people of Mississippi; the farmer,
the woodsman, the sportsman and
just the everyday average individual.
