British Effort 10 Run
Chinese Nationalist
Blockade Is Indicated
by me Assesiefsd Pfsss

SHANGHAI, June ga British
sloop OF the mouth of the Yangtze
today caused speculation that
efforts may be made to run O
Nationalist blockade Of Chinese
Communist ports.
The blockade Is scheduled to be
clamped on all Chinese Red ports
from Fochow northward beginning
Sunday.
British sources here were mum
on their plans. But the sloop
Black Swan, damaged only q few
weeks ago by Communist artillery
on the Yangtze, was known to be
Of the mouth Of the river.
American shippers awaited ad-
vice from their Government and
owners before announcing their
plans. Some wanted American
warships nearby just In case.
Ships to Skip Shanghai.
Apparently the big ships Of all
nationalities will skip Shanghai.
for a while at least. There was
some traffic by small coastal
steamers on the river today. More
coastal vessels of the 3.000-ton
class or less. are expected UP from
Hong Kong tomorrow.
The American freighter Rum
River still stood of the Yangtze's
mouth with a load Of fuel oil for
Shanghai power stations. The
tanker awaited word from her
New York owners, Cal-Tex Co..
whether to enter port. n
Nationalist planes have, raided
the river front three times in
four days. The British freighter
Anchises was crippled and
beached In one Of the raids. Ap-
parentIy Nationalist planes yes
terday tried to sink her and block
the Whangpoo Channel near its
confluence with the Yangtze. A
bomb was dropped, but 1t missed
the Anchises.
Shanghai today felt a small
heat"-Chinese term for the sea-
sons first heat wave. The mer-
curry scared to SO degrees under an
overcast that prevented National
tst planes from getting in, If any
tried.
Fate of Paper Unsettled.
The question of continued pub
lication of the British -owned
North China Daily News was un-
settled. The newspaper has come
under Communist criticism for
printing stories about mine scare
earlier this month. Some Com
munist sources demand that the
paper be suspended for three days,
ut least, as punishment.
The editor had been instructed
to prepare an apology for presen-
tation to the Communist Military
Control Bureau. The bureau would
decide how to handle the situa-
ton on receipt Of such an apology.

JuIion|s Hondwritten Bequest
7oChurchVoid by Ohio Court

and benefiting the world with hos
pitfalls"
Mr.. Taft said Judge Davies rul-
ing was based on the Ohio law
which requires that will must be
signed at the end and witnessed
and all additions must also be
witnessed. In his opinion. Mr..
Taft added. Mr.. Julian's intent to
change the will was obvious.
Mr.. Julian, who was 81. died in a
head-on automobile collision last
month. He had been a patient at
the Washington Sanitarium. an
Adventist institution. at various
times and had donated "generous"
sums to the church during his life,
according to Mr.. Taft.
Contest Not Determined.
Whether the church will con-
test the will has not been deter
mined as yet. Mr.. Taft stated.
He said the will was filed in
District Court here May 81, sew
eral days after Mr.. Julians
death. A week later r. Cleveland
Hedrick. jr.. Washington attor-
ney acting for the Cincinnati
bank named executor. petitioned
to have the will forwarded to the
Ohio Jurisdiction. This was done
shortly afterward. Before coming
here Mr.. Julian was O Cincin-
natl banker.
Mr.. Hedrick said the will was
found in O safe deposit box at
the Riggs National Bank here.
He said no inventory Of property
was found and he had no idea
of the value Of the estate.
MIR. Hedrick said MIR. Julian left
about 100000 in securities and
bonds In the Riggs Bank. another
$50 900 in another Washington
bank and Is reported also to have
other securities in New York
banks.
The will also stated that MIR.
Julian's wife and his two brothers,
all now deceased, were to receive
$780, 900 outright. according to
Mr.. Taft. Another 500, 1000 was
divided among nieces and nephews
and charitable institutions. Half
of the net income was to go to
the wife and the other half the
brothers.

earnest men formidably equipped
with expert opinion.
These men have been done q
sad disservice by critics who
ascribe to them service loyalties
In excess Of their duty to

Marines Future Is Safe.
Mr.. johnson made 1t clear that
he has no intention Of doing away
with the Marine Corps or the
Nays air arm. as some OF his
critics have charged.
1.-THE Marine Corps role Of the
future" he said, Is guaranteed not
by sympathy for its historical ira
dition but by the proven necessity"
that 1t is essential to this coun-
try's conduct of war.
ut will be the duty Of the Navy
by prompt and sustained combat
operations at sea to control vital
sea areas, to deny ocean highways
to an enemy. to guarantee the
interrupted flow Of vital strategic
and war materials to ourselves and
our allies. to transport overseas
Army and Air Forces"
Similarly. he saw q role for the
Army in the atomic age in plan
ming for "the containment and
thereafter the defeat Of an ag-
gressor's land-army strength. . .
The Army must plan for the re-
paid mobilization Of Its mechan-
lied manpower."
I Most Maintain Strength.
The secretary left no doubt that
when he spoke of war occurring
any time soon he had Russia in
mind, although he did not feel
that hostilities were inevitable.
But he declared that the United
States had mo recourse to provide
for our self-preservation Just SO
long as the attitudes OF Soviet
Russia are animated by concepts
which assert:
THAT sovereign and independ-
ent governments cannot live
peaceably as neighbors:
THAT peoples who do not con-
cede the supremacy of the COL
lectivist state are enemies OF
human progress:
THAT collaboration cannot

|Byrnes Put New Draq
On Truman Program


Gleeful Republicans and sober
Democrats agreed today that for
mer Secretary Of State Byrnes'
warning against q welfare state"
has put a fresh drag on social
LEGISLATION In Congress.
Republican lawmakers were
openly joyous at the plea for q
cut In Government spending and
social programs sounded by the
former Supreme Court Justice and
one time Senator from South
Carolina.
With q couple of exceptions.
Democrats had little to say pub
licly. But of the record. they left
no doubt MFR. Byrnes had made
tougher their Job Of pushing some
of President Humans legislation
through Congress.
Session May Run Longer.
They also said that stiffened
resistance from opponents Of the
program may make the present
session of Congress last longer.
Some had hoped to adjourn by
the end of July.
Mr.. Byrnes. who played a key
role In the New Deal as an ad-
ministration leader on Capitol
Hill, spoke at Lexington. Va. last
Saturday at the bicentennial cele-
bration OF Washington and Lee
University.
He said that If some of the well
fare legislation now before Con-
gress should be adopted. there
Is q danger that the individual
whether farmer. manufacturer.
lawyer or doctor-will soon be an
economic galley slave pulling an
oar in the galley of the State"
In both the Senate and House
yesterday, Republican jubilation
dubbed over. With a happy grin.
Senator Bridges. Republican, OF
New Hampshire referred to Mr..
Byrnes as that great statesman"
Congratulations Offered.
He added that Mr.. Byrnes now
"is taking the binders of the
American people. and hope Con-
gress will be impressed"
Representative Curtis. Repub-
lican. of Nebraska told the House
that Mr.. Byrnes is to be congratu-
lated. It doesn't take genius,
he added, to see that the Govern
ment Is too large.
Senator Humphrey. Democrat,
Of Minnesota. one of the few Dem
ocrats who would comment openly.
told O reporter that Mr.. Byrnes'
speech obviously will "fortify those
who oppose" the Presidents social
welfare program.
But at the same time, he added,
"for those Of us who are support
ing the program 1t will serve as a
warning to intensity our efforts"
Pepper Not Surprised.
He said it will help bring into
sharper focus" the whole con-
f1ict over the Presidents requests
for social legislation. These in
clude public housing, Federal aid
to education, expanded social Sc
curly and O higher minimum
wage.
So far none of these proposals
has passed Congress, although
housing and education bills have
been approved by the Senate.
Senator Pepper. Democrat. Of
Florida spoke at length in the
Senate In defense of these and
similar proposals. which he said
were written into the Democrats
1948 campaign platform.
He said he was not surprised
at MFR. Byrnes' speech because Il
that during the last
campaign he declined an invita-
ton to address himself to the
country for his President, his party
and his party's platform"

A handwritten addition to the
will Of the late William A. Julian
Treasurer Of the United States
leaving one fourth of his estate
to the Seventh-day Adventist
Church has been ruled invalid by
an Ohio probate court.
Millward c. Taft. chief counsel
for the Seventh-day ADVENTIST
Church at Takoma Park. said he
had received estimates Of Mr.
Julian's estate which ranged from
$4,000. 900 to $ll.ooo.ooo. An in
ventory of the estate was not filed
when the will was probated In the
Hamilton County tOhio) Probate
Court last week, he said.
Mr.. Taft said the bequest to the
church was penned In Mr.. Julian's
own handwriting and was dated
December II. 1945. 1t was added
to a typewriter will which had
been executed and witnessed on
October %. 1890.
In providing that the church be
willed one-fourth of the estate,
MIR. Julian crossed out requests
made in the 1880 will to four Gin
cinnati charitable and social or
ganizations, Mr.. Taft said.
Mr.. Taft. who also Is chief Judge
of the Montgomery County tMdo
Orphans Court, said he went to
Cincinnati last week to study the
will.
CodiciIs Also Ruled Invalid.
Judge Chase M. Davies Of the
Hamilton County Probate Court
ruled as invalid the written be-
quest to the Seventh-day Adver-
lists, Mr.. Taft explained. In addi-
ton, Judge Davis ruled that nine
codicils, appended to the will in
Mr.. Julian's handwriting and an
explanation Of why he wanted to
give the Seventh-day Adventtsts
the money, also were ruled invalid,
Mr.. Taft added.
The explanation written into the
will by Mr.. Julian read:

from Anal benefits under this my
will but substituted the Seventh
day Adventist Church because OF
