An smhlem, described as "a battle
nag Of the Confederacy." flies from
the room Of two Southerners but
for how long no one can say.

Miss, and Frank Weems Of Birm-
ingham, Ala, Massachusetts, Insti-
tute Of Technology students, said

A discreet man, District Attorney
George e. Thompson said If he finds
anything illegal about it he will
turn the matter over to the United
States attorney.
The students said the flag had
been flying unnoticed from their
graduate house window for month
until some one apparently mistook
it for q foreign emblem.
Mr.. Pigford said the nag was
purchased from q New York manu-
facturer who has been selling them
to Southerners who grow lonely in
the North"

spiracy count, but was given full
and unconditional pardon by Presi-
dent Coolidge, on recommendation
of the then Attorney General Har-
land F. Stone, who later became

Tobacco Union Sends
Message Denouncinq
Truman 10 Italians
BY IN. k,soe;o,.d p,...

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., April
2.-Spokesmen for Local 70, United
Tobacco Workers, CIO, said today
q message had been sent to Italian
workers condemning President Tru-
man.
Robert C. Black and j. Henry
Minor, co-chairmen, said the union,
an affiliate of the Food, Tobacco,
Agricultural and Allied Workers
Union of America, adopted the
statement to Italian workers at q
meeting this week.
The local claims to represent TO-
900 workers.
"Calied for Power to Invade"
The message said in part:
"The President of our Nation has
called for the power to invade your
country with armed forces and take
over the government If the Italian
people in the elections of April 18
vote against the remnants OF Fas-
.cism and reaction who are being
supported by American big business
interests.
I'VE know that this demand has
not been made by Truman for the
good of the italian workers. Presi-
dent Truman is the leader and
spokesman of an American admin
istration which is attempting to deal
death blows to the free trade unions
Of America. When he asks for
power to invade Italy and cancel
the results of your elections, we
know the purpose will be to put in
power those who will crush the free
trade unions of Italy. y"
I'VE support your right to q free
choice in free elections.s We con-
denim the efforts of antilabor forces
in our government to seize control
of your government.
Violation of Rights Charged.
"We are workers in the tobacco
factories of our Nations South.
Those who make profit out Of low
wages bred by disunity and hate
have kept alive the shameful rem
nants of human slavery and race
prejudice in our land
ut JlT6dG 10 INVADE Italy Ii tne
italians vote against an antilabor
government is a violation of civil
rights. 1t is an open show of mill
tary force against working people
in the interests of money and priv
ilege. 1t is crime against inter-
national decency.
THE forces in control of our Gov
ernment have completely failed to
end, or even move against the segre-
CATION, discrimination and lynch
terror in the South, through which
our land and all its people are bled
of their wealth.
"To us, this exposes the real mo-
tives behind the campaign Of inter-
vention abroad. We are demanding
of our Government, our President,
and our State Department that they
act to bring political freedom and
economic justice to the Southern
States of America, instead Of at
tacking the liberties of the Italian
people"

all taxes and license fees for one
year.
Earlier Action Possible.
If the leaders, regardless of the
success of the petition, decide to
bring such tax suspension bill
to the floor before April rs.
1t probably would be necessary
for the House Agriculture Commit
te to approve the measure and for
the House Rules Committee to give
1t priority.
Success Of the petition today
elated its sponsors so much, how
ever, that it was not clear whether
they would agree to any substitute
measure.
The matter probably will be set
tied in the next week or two.
Both Speaker Martin and Major
ity Leader Halleck confirmed re-
ports OF move for a substitute bill.
Such measure would relieve the
Republicans Of the political embar-
rassment of voting for Democratic
sponsored bill.
The Republican majority in the
Agriculture Committee previously
had pigeonholed all tax repeal meas
ures.
Common Ground Sought.
Mr.. Halleck told a reporter he had
been struggling to find some COM
mon ground" to end the long con-
troversy.
Present taxes are 10 cents a pound
on butter-colored margarine, and a
4 cent on the uncolored type.
License fees range from 5000 for
manufacturers down to $48 for re-
tailers of colored margarine and $6
for the uncolored.
Representative August Andersen,
Republican, of Minnesota, who led
the successful fight in the Agricul-
ture Committee to kill all repeal
bills, returned to Washington today.
He said he did not think there is
any compromise, but other butter
hackers have indicated they may ac-
cept something like the suspension
plan.
Meanwhile, House Armed Serv-
ices Subcommittee, headed by Rep
resentative Anderson, Republican,
of California, opened hearings on
another phase of the margarine
butter fight. The committee is con-
sidering identical bills to permit
margarine to be served to soldiers,
sailors, and marines. The bills were
introduced by Representative Rivers,
Democrat of South Carolina, and
Mitchell, Republican of Indiana.
Both testified this morning.
The first witness was DR.. Anton
j.. Carlson, professor emeritus at
the University of Chicago, who said
that margarine and butter are
equal in caloric value, and digesti-
bility, which are the two major
considerations for fat food"
He described experiments by him.
self and two other scientists on 267
children, some Of whom were fed
margarine, and others butter as the
fat in their diet. The results, he
said. showed that the childrens
health was uniformly good as far as
serious illness was concerned.
DR.. Carlson added that the health
OF servicemen would not be af-
fected "in the slightest degree, even
If margarine were substituted COM
pletely for butter"
The two bills would merely permit
the armed services to buy either
margarine or butter, as they chose.

Question One of Prestige.
The dispute over the regulations
amounted to question of prestige
between Russia and the Western

should they succeed in forcing them
from Germans old capital.
The British sent their chief of

schenko, Russian chief Of staff. He
got the answer the Russians must
insist on boarding Allied trains.
Then Col. Tulpanov gave answer
to all the Western Allies. He re-
jected their protests. He said bor-
ders Of the Soviet zone were being
secured to keep out spies.
Security Our Border"
Masses Of spies are coming into
Berlin and the entire Soviet occupa-
ton zone from the British and
American zones in order to spy
upon the economy, political situa-
tion and Soviet military installa-
tions in our zone," said the colonel.
I'VE cannot permit this to continue
and therefore we are securing our
borders.
Berlin is being plundered by the
Americans and British and thou
sands (of Germans) are coming
from the Western zones with
enormous sums OF money to buy out
and weaken the economy OF the
Soviet zone, dumping their money
here in fear Of currency reform.
I'VE shall prevent that the West
ern German monopolists misuse the
protection of the British and Amer
ican occupation powers for their
work"
His allegations that masses of
Germans are coming into Berlin
and the Russian zone from the West
are Of a type repeatedly branded
ridiculous propaganda" by Amer
lean authorities. ga
They regard these Soviet allega-
tions as an alibi to tighten an iron
curtain" at the Elbe and get the
Western Allies out Of Berlin.
Berlin itself seemed quiet today.
The Russians apparently had aban-
doned the road block trafiic controls
on Germans which yesterday tenn
porarily sealed their sector OF from
the three western occupation sectors.
They said these were stopping Ger
mans from making illegal transport
of valuable industrial machinery and
products from Russian territory to

to such an extent as to make likely
q deficit at q time when "respon-
sible conduct of the financial affairs
Of this Nation requires a substantial
surplus in order to reduce our large
public debt and to be reasonably
prepared against contingencies"
Secondly, he said the bill would
greatly increase the danger OF fur
ther imitation "by adding billions Of
dollars Of purchasing power at a
time when demand already exceeds
supply at many strategic points in
the economy and when Government
expenditures are necessarily rising" !"
The President estimated in his
January message expenditures for
the fiscal year 1949 Of $40, ,700, 900, 900,
with receipts of $44,500, ,000, 900, leav-
ing a surplus Of $4,000, ,0oo, 900 for
debt retirement and contingencies.
"It has since become apparent" 4"
he said today, that despite the
most stringent efforts toward econ
omy, there will be several important
increases in expenditures above the
January estimates"
More Defense Funds Sought.
Only yesterday, he advised Con-
gress in letter to Speaker Martin
that $4,000. 100000 additional Ito
earlier budget estimates) will be
asked for national defense. He also
said other additional appropriations
probably will be asked.
Mr.. Truman noted that request.
He also said legislation has been
enacted increasing payments to vet
Grams; large amounts will be re-
quired for European recovery. Leg
islatton to increase Federal salaries
Is being considered.
The President said the outlook
under these circumstances is that an
additional $3,500,000, 900 above the
January estimates will be spent in
the fiscal year 1949, and another
$4,000. .000,0 will be spent in the
fiscal year 1850 under these addi-
tional programs.
He added:
ut Is clear that, If this bill which
reduces taxes by $4,000, 900 900 were
to become law, there would in fact
be deficit in the fiscal year 1949
even under the more optimistic esti-
mates OF revenue used by the con-
