Soviet United States
Called Goal Of Reds
Al Communist Trial
Will Be Established
Through Revolution,
Porty Manual Says
ey the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-The
final objective of the American
Communist Party is to establish
"a Soviet Socialist Republic in
the United States" said a party
manual introduced by the Govern
ment today in the Communist
conspiracy trial.
The manual, read to the jury by
United States Attorney John F. x.
McGohey, said such a republic
was to be established through rev.
olution in which party members
must be ready to sacrifice their
lives"
The manual Of organization
Of the Communist Party was ad-
mitted into evidence after voci-
ferrous defense objections.
Budenz Identifies Manual.
Louis F. Budenz, prosecution
witness who formerly was manag-
ing editor of the Daily Worker,
identified the manual as a dup
licate of one given him by Jacob
Stachel, a defendant.
Defense counsel said the pub
lication was issued in 1885 and
should be excluded because the
indictment covers a conspiracy
alleged to have taken place be-
tween 1945 and 1948.
Federal Judge Harold Medina
overruled the objections. He then
added a warning that If defense
counsel continued to make lengthy
statements on such points. he
would restrict them to few words
in making objections.
The Judge also rebuked a de-
fense lawyer. Richard F. Glad

Senator Launches Debate
On 5H-BiIIion Extension;
Urges Approval in Full
By the Associated Press

Europe's economic recovery has
the right Of way over any mill
tary program to support the pro-
posed North Atlantic security
pact, Senator Connally, Democrat,
Of Texas said today.
II should like to make 1t clear"
Senator Connally told the Senate.
"the basic policy of the United
States Government is to accord
economic recovery a clear pri-
ority."
The veteran chairman Of the
Senate Foreign Relations CON-
mittee opened debate on the S.
$50, 0,0O0.0 900 program to aid West
ern Europe in the next Is months.
Some Senators have suggested
chopping 5000, 900 to $780,
100000 from the total.
But Senator Connally urged his
colleagues to approve the authori-
zation bill in full. 1t puts limit
on the amount to be spent by the
Economic Cooperation Admin
stration, but 1t does not provide
the actual cash. This would be
done by appropriation.
Unable to Answer Now.
Senator Connally said the ques-
ton has been raised whether "the
contemplated military assistance
program will interfere with the
execution of the recovery program
by the diversion of European
manpower and materials for de-
fense purposes"
While no definite answer can be
given at this time. Senator Con-
naly said, "the military assist
ance program should. in fact.
have a beneficial effect on eco
nomic recovery by strengthening
the feeling of confidence and Sc
curity."

Measure to Floor
Without Amendment

The House Labor Committee to-
day gave quick approval to Pres
ident Truman's labor bill substi-
tute for the Taft-Hartley Act after
beating down a largely Republican
effort to push through a tougher
measure. The vote to report the
administration bill to the House
floor was 13 to 10.
Committee action approving the
mild labor bill without amend
ment came a little over an hour
after the group went into execu-
tive session.
The Senate Labor Committee
voted out an identical measure
three weeks ago.
COP Beaten by Majority.
The Democratic majority over
rode bitter Republican objections
to hurried" consideration Of labor
legislation in indorsing the admin
istration measure, which would
repeal the Taft-Hartley Act and
re-enact the old Wagner Act with
some amendments or improve
ments" asked by President Tru-
man.
A 13-member subcommittee OF
the House, which concluded two
weeks of hearing on the Taft
Hartley Act repeal and the substi-
tute bill Monday, approved the
administration measure yesterday.
Thirteen Democrats, headed by
Chairman Lesinski. voted for the
new bill. The nine Republican
committee members and Repre-
sentative Lucas, Democrat, of
Texas, voted against it. Repre-
sentative Barden, Democrat. Of
North Carolina voted present"
and the other committee member,
Representative Wodd. Democrat,
Of Georgia, was absent.

House Kills Veterans Pension Bill
By One-Vote Margin 2O8-207>
In Returning 1t to Committee
Official Recount
Changes First
Ruling on Ballot
By Chris Mothisen

LII UeCClC IlIldlc Cllc I1Ouoc llllo
afternoon sent the Rankin vet
erans' pension bill back to COM
mittee by a 1-vote margin.
The action ended wrangling on
the multibillion dollar measure,
which was in it's third day and, in
effect, killed the legislation.
On a roll call the final tally an
nounced by Majority Leader Nc
Cormack, who was presiding. was
2O8 to 207 in favor of a motion by
Representative league, Democrat,
of Texas to recommit the bill to
the House Veterans Committee.
headed by Representative Rankin,
Democrat, of Mississippi, author
of the pension bill.
Vote Is Rechecked.
A few minutes earlier, Mr. Nc
Cormack had announced the vote
as 2o9 to 208 against the recon-
initial motion. Because of the
narrow margin, however, he said,
he was ordering a recapltulatior
After the clerk had called the
members names again, stating
which way they were recorded,
and there were no changes. the
official counters reported to Mr..
Mccormack that their recheck
showed Mr.. leagues recommittal
motion had carried.
Unofficial counters had thought
this was the case when the orig
inal roll call ended with two
Pennsylvania Democrats, Repre-
sentatives Barrett and Granahan,
changing their votes from opposi-
tion to support of the recommittal
move.
Rankin's Plea Futile.
Mr.. Rankin and Representative
Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachu-
sets. ranking Republican member
Of the committee, had pleaded
with the members to continue
their efforts to whip the broad
Rankin plan into acceptable shape
on the floor.
Mr.. Rankin declared approval
OF the league motion would end
the chance Of passage of a vet
erans' pension measure in this
session of Congress.
The roll call on reeommittal was
set up by Mr.. league when he
won approval on a teller vote of
an amendment to strike out the
bills enacting clause-in effect
killing it. This action was taken
with the House sitting as a COM
mittee of the whole, a relatively
informal procedure in which roll
calls are not permitted.
The teller vote was I'll to 1853.
It followed a simple standing vote
in which the members turned
down Mr.. leagues move, 168 to
159.
Maneuver Failed Previously.

tire bill for further study-failed

resentative Carroll, Democrat, OF
Colorado. At that time the House
agreed to the fatal amendment
in a nonrecord vote. but the men,
bers refused to wash their hands
Of the bill on a roll call and the
recommittal motion failed.
At the outset of todays session,
opponents who hoped to amend
the measure to death ap-
peared to have gained some head
way on the basis of yesterdays
hectic session. When Mr.. Rankin
obtained an overnight suspension
of the final decision by a 1898
vote, a number of members had

Inferior Bans Golf Pact
Unless D. T.. Lifts All
Recreation Race Bans
Rejects Booro Offer;
House Committee Sets
Full Inquiry Tuesday

An Interior Department spokes-
man said today there can be no
agreement with the District Rec
reation Board on operating pub
lie golf courses until the board
discontinues racial segregation in
all recreation units.
Injection of the racial issue di-
rectly into the controversy over
operating the golf courses came as
a special House Public Lands sub
committee scheduled a fun in
quiry into the matter for 10 am.
Tuesday.
The Interior Department spokes-
man was Carlton Skinner, director
of public relations. His statement
was made in discussing the action
taken yesterday by the Recreation
Board which is seeking to take
over the operation of the courses
from S. G. Loef1er, a private con-
cessionaire. The board agreed to
a nonsegregation policy for the
public links-if it gets the con-
tract.
Action Termed Incomplete.
"The action of the board" Mr..
Skinner said. "is all right as far
as it goes, but it doesn't go far
enough to meet the situation"
The segregation issue also is
in the background of the efforts
Of the Interior Department to
get control of 81 re-, cation areas
IN the city-areas assigned to the
Recreation Board by the National
Capital PARK and Planning Com
mission.
An Interior department solici-
tor held that the land in question
two thirds of the playground
area here-is under jurisdiction OF
the Interior Department and that
the planning commission assign
ment Of the areas was only q
designation Of its use. The Rec
reation Board and the Planning
Commission hold the land act
ually was transferred toI their
jurisdiction.
Clark Decision Awaited.
The opinion was sent to Attor-
ney General Clark's Office for a
review more than five months ago
and the decision is still awaited.
Mr.. Skinner explained that
when Assistant Secretary of the
Interior c. Girard Davidson met
with the Recreation Board he
said the operation of the links
could not be discussed until the
board changed its policy on all
Of its activities =" no matter
where located, to conform to the
Presidents civil rights program. ="
Asked If this meant that the
Recreation Board must adopt a
nonsegregation policy in every
phase Of activity which it con-
trolls. Mr.. Skinner replied:
What Mr.. Davidson meant was
that unless the board complies
fully and completely with the civil
rights program, the parks Office
would not be in a position to dis
cuss the issue with them"
Park Tennis Court Ban Dropped.

ton facilities, including swimming
