Backing Of Congress
For Federated Europe
Sought by Fu|bright
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senator Fulbright, Democrat, OF
Arkansas called on Congress yester-
day to 60 on record for a political
federation of Western European
states.
He wants approval Of just nine
words:
That the Congress favors the po-
litical federation of Europe"
A resolution for it is before the
Senate. 1t was presented last Mon
day by Senators Fulbright and Ell
bert Thomas, Democrat, of Utah.
While 1t awaits test, some Sena-
tors dealing with foreign affairs in
dicated cautious approach to the
subject. :.
Senator Fulbright said Senate ap-
proval would give European nations
nudge toward political stability
which he regards as even more i'm
portant than the proposed North
Atlantic defense alliance.
Economic recovery of Western
Europe, for which this country is
spending billions, is closely tied in
with his goal, the Senator observed.
Council Is Planned.
inc western Union powers of
Great Britain, France, Belgium,
Holland, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg already have agreed to Gre
ate a Council of Europe.
They made the historic decision
on January 28 to permit a COM
mittee of government ministers to
make binding decisions.
Sen. Fulbright believes this is
one of the most important political
moves in Europe in centuries-and
step toward solving the continents
economic troubles.
But some Senate leaders in for
eign relations say they think this
country should go slow in anything
that might appear to be "meddling"
in Europes political affairs.
1--WE can't 60 around telling
Europe what she should do politi-
cally." one Democratic member of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee said.
A Republican member took the
same view, saying it would not be
wise to be debating to Europe even
indirectly.
Commitments Cited.
Sen. Fulbright declared these arg
uments avoid the issue.
Were already committed in
European affairs" he said. There's
no need to kid ourselves"
He added this country must one
day get out from under the burden
of the European Recovery Program.
"A military alliance Is all right
to preserve security" he said, But
there can't be economic recovery
without political federation to
bring about political stability"

"a, 900 Get Emergency Aid
From Red Cross in Month
By the Associoted Press


The American Red Gross said in 9
preliminary report yesterday that
more than $4,000 persons received
emergency aid from its workers in
the month ended February 3.
, Most of these were in the bliz-
zard-swept States of the Rocky
Mountain area. Others were food
and tornado victims in Arkansas.
Basil O'Connor, president Of the
Red Cross, said approximately $780,
600 had been spent in the blizzard
area for needs of human beings
This, he said, had nothing to do
with Federal and State expenditures
for highway clearance or for the
haylift operations, which are not
functions of the Red Cross.
He said $4,000 pounds of staple
foods and badly needed medicines
were dropped within the last five
days by National Guard and Civil
Air Patrol planes over the Navajo
reservation area in Arizona and New
Mexico.
Mr.. CConnor commended the SO
chapters in the blizzard area for the
"aggressiveness and intelligence
with which they attacked the 'un-
precedepted" disaster problems. He
paid high tribute to the Civil Air
Patrol, declaring:
These men and women have
proved they can do a fine job in
peaee-time emergencies, just as they
proved time and again that they
could serve their country in time OF
war.

Reds Answer 10 Ii
On Peace Seen First
Step 10 Negotiations
By the Assoeiatsd Press

NANKING,1 Feb. 5.-Close asso-
ciates of Acting President Ii Tsung-
jen said tonight the Communists
had answered his proposals for end
ing China's civil war.
They gave no details, however
There was nothing from any other
quarter to indicate the Communists
had in any way receded from their
demands amounting to uncondition-
al surrender of the government.
(In fact a Communist broad
cast, heard later in San Fran
cisco by the Associated Press,
questioned whether a government
still existed and heaped new
abuse on the peace-seekers. This
tended to support a strong hint
from Communicated Pieping
that the Reds would have no
dealing with the government but
would treat with "the Chinese
people'D.
First Steps Believed Taken.
Lis associates said they never
theless believed "at least the first
step towards opening formal nego-
tiations" had been taken. They evi-

they had been before.

Nazis Still Fosterinq
Reich Anti-Semitism,
Jewish Aid Chief SAYS
By the Assoeie.ed Press

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 5.-Nazi
undercover groups in Germany are
fostering nationalism and encourag-
ing antisemitisn, the American
chief Of a Jewish charitable organi-
cation charged today.
Samuel L. Haber, chief in the
American zone Of Germany for the
American Joint Distribution. Com
mittee, declared:
If the occupation. forces pulled
out there would not be a Jewish
person safe "a hours later. Pogroms
would begin"
Haber, former Army major
from Washington, who served as
military government officer in Is
German towns after the war, said
he was certain Nazi groups have
reformed secretly ahd are biding
their time.
Having Some Success.
IT have no dodbt," he said, that
today in Munich, ana in other COM
munities in Germany there are
groups who have retained the old
Nazi theology. They are fostering
antisemitism as a means of keep
ing the Germans cohesive and they
are having some success"
Mr.. Haber said there has been a
gradual increase in antisemitic acts
throughout Germany.
This is nothing more than re-
born natiQnalism," he said. The
explosiveness Of the Jewish problem
in Germany is so great that, if
occupation forces withdrew, there
would be individual and enmasse
attacks on the Jews Immediately.
M, Mai.
There is no answer to the Jew
ish problem in Germany" Mr.
Haber continued. Germany is moi
a place for him to remain If he
wants to live"
The German, as usual, Is looking
for a scapegoat," he said. HE
wants somebody to blame for his
military defeat, for the destruction
of much of his country. And sc
he picks on the Jew again"
Group Has Spent S22,o00, 900.
Mr.. Haber, whose organization
has spent % million dollars on Jew
ish displaced persons since 1945
said his legal staff has docUmented
cases of anti-semitism throughout
the Western zones of Germany. He
added that there are only 1000 Jews
in the Soviet zone, and another 1000
IN the Soviet sector of Berlin, as
against $4,000 Jews in the American
zone, 1926 in the French zone and
$500 in the British zone. There
are. .another 1000 Jews In the West
sectors of Berlin.
Mr.. Haber said some Jewish dis
placed persons have been connected
with black market operations and
thus haye incurred some general ILL.,
will. But he added:
"Anti-semitism is not confined to
these people, for whom I have no
use. And, too, the Jewish displaced
person is not the only type impli-
Gated in black marketing.
Il would like to note that our
AJDC legal staff is forbidden to de-
fend any Jew charged with black
marketing or smuggling"

D. T.. Democrats Hone
ToSend Home Rule Bill
To McGrath This Week

The Washington home rule bill tc
be sponsored by the District Dem
ocratic Committee probably will be
ready for submission to Chairman
McGrath of the Senate District
Committee within the next few days
1t was said last night by attorneys
working on the draft.
Senator McGrath, who requested
that proposed local suffrage meas
ure be furnished him, is expected
TO resume his duties here tomorrow
after a Florida trip.
Two lawyers plan to give time to-
day to details of the bill in an effort
to speed it toward Congressional
consideration. They are Benjamin C
Sigal, q member of the suffrage
subcommittee of the Democratic
Central Committee, and Alexande,
B. Halves. who is studying the sug-
gested legislation for the Washing
ton Home Rule Committee.
Draft Is Developed.
Those proposing to join in spon-
sorship of the bill already have de-
veloped a draft which they say
would provide a measure of home
rule for the District without the
necessity Of Congressional amend
ment. =.
1t contemplates a referendum to
decide whether the residents want
suffrage. If they decided they did
12-fdember District Council would
be elected from the District at large
1t would have authority to enact
ordinances, but its decisions could
be overruled by Congress.
The outline was revealed a week
ago by A. l.. Wheeler. chairman Of
the Democratic group and OF its
suffrage subcommittee, who now is
in Florida.
Changes May Be Offered.
Mr.. HaWes and Mr.. Sigal said last
night they proposed to examine the
preliminary draft and probably .ug-
.gest some changes before Offering
it to the Democratic Central Com
mittee.
Mr.. Halves emphasized he was
looking over the bill only in an ad-
visory capacity. He said 1t is The
hope and expectation of his group
that the Central Committee will
supply the principal sponsorship at
the Capitol. 81
Mr.. Sigal said he had mis- first
session with Mr.. Hawes on the pro-
posal yesterday. He said they agreed
to attempt further shaping tip OF
the plan over the week end and
meet again tomorrow or Tuesday.

Army Cuts Volunteers
To 5000 This Month";;
No Draft Call in April
By John A. Giles

The Army will draft no men
in April and limit the number
of its volunteers this month to
5000, it was learned yesterday.
Whether there will be draft call
In May depends entirely on the rate
of re-enlistments, which, now are
on high level, top-ranking Army
official said. The department an
nounced previously that no men
would be inducted in February and
March.
The Army, which was begging for
men before the Selective Service Act
was passed last June, now is around
10000 men above the manpower
ceiling set in President Truman's
budget, and officials must curb the
inflow to maintain a steady force
and to keep within that figure.
The sudden personnel rise in jan
uary was due to the enlistment, re-
enlistment and drafting of about
10000 men and women and a very
low rate of attrition, the official said.
677, ,OO Budget Ceiling.
On December 81, the defense es-
tablishment reported the Army had
CTS, 900 officers and men. Mr. Tru-
mans budget sets the ground forces
manpower ceiling at 677,000, of
whom 900 would be enlisted per-
sonnet
The number of recruits is being
limited by a systems of priorities
under which only the best qualified
volunteers will be accepted. The
Army also has stopped enlisting men
for periods shorter than three years
The number of officers is within
the proposed budgetary ceiling.
However, the service has shortages
in some categories, such as medical
officers.
In connection with the medicaT
officer shortage, Defense Secretary
Forrestal last night released rec
ommendation from his Armed
Forces Medical Committee that no
attempt be made to draft physicians
and dentists now.
Drive For Volunteers Urged.
Instead, the committee recon-
mended Nationwide drive for VOL
unteer medical officers directed
mainly toward approximately l5.-
600 men who were deferred from
wartime military service to COM
plete their professional training,
many at Government expense under
the Army Student Training Pro-
gram and the Navy's Via pro-
gram.
OF the approximately $4,000 ply
sicians who received training un-
der these two programs, about 10,-
900 have served in the armed SER
ices.
'The 5000 who have not served
and several thousand more who
were deferred to continue their
medical education not only were
protected from the risks of combat
but received financial assistance
from the Government to pay for
their medical education" the COM
mittee reported. Therefore, the
group felt they should volunteer for
one or two year service or periods
commensurate with the length of
their deferments.
Mr.. Forrestal said it was estimated
that by the end of July there would
be shortages of about 1900 ply
sicians and 1,160 dentists in the
armed forces. BY December, the
shortages are expected to rise to
2n0 and 400

Winds and Colder Hi
SnowbIocked West,
Hampering Rescues
BY the Asseeioted Press

New wind gusts swooped into the
South Dakota Nebraska Wyoming
diaster area yesterday, sitting snow
into freshly cut roadways and
hampering rescue work.
Colder weather was moving into
the area with the winds, sharpen
ipg the already bitter temperatures.
To the north, yesterday daytime
readings did not 60 above four be-
low zero at Grand Forks, N. OAK.
and two below at Bismarck.
Elsewhere, the nations weather
was comparatively mild in the Ohio
Valley and the East, rainy along
the Gulf and chilly on the West
Coast.
Winds diminished in the Nevada
Utah area where light new snoW fell.
The Air Force haylift continued op-
erations in this area where its C-82
flying boxcars have scattered more
than BIT tons II hay to sheep and
cattle herds over 100000 square
miles.
The Army said it has more than
2 900 major pieces Of snow removal
equipment operating in the Rocky
Mountain area. William H. Draper,
acting Secretary of the Army, said
the air force contributed IS cargo
ships, eight helicopters and oon-
siderable. ground equipment to the
operation and the Navy has fur
nisned both aircraft aud ground
equipment.
The new winds which hurdled
the Rockies were part of the storm
which whistled in on the West
Coast Friday. blowing blizzard
into Donnori Pass in the California
Serras and blocking United States
Highway 40 for IL hours. Several
thousand motorists and winter
sports fans were stranded.
The bodies of three railroad work.
men were recovered yesterday from
beneath tons OF snow and debris
that swept down a steep Utah
fmountainside. The avalanche buried
the Union Paciflc's north-south
mainline between Pocatello, Idaho
and Salt Lake City, halting traffic
for several hours.
Shortly before the new weather
hardship hit the snowbound plains
expanse, the Fifth Army reported
that its drift-flghtjng operation had
reached 25,131 persons, $50, ,740 cattle
and 95 ,440 other farm animals dur
ing the first week. There are an
estimated 1871 900 cattle in the
tri-State emergency area, and live
stock losses were estimated to range
from two to nine per cent there.
Though some packing has taken
place, snow depths still ranged
from II to 16 inches, with drifts
of several feet piled near every
hummock, fence, tree and building
