Truman Requests
New DeddIine in
Weight t-Shedding

President Truman decided to-
day that he wanted new target
date for the decision in his
weight shedding contest with
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, his
Army aide. and Brig. Gen. Wal
lace Graham. his : personal
physician-after concluding that
he had picked up little
poundage instead of losing some
since getting into the deal about
10 days ago.
The President thinks that
sometime during his forthcoming
vacation at Key West will be all
right orthe new deadline, and
Gen. Vaughan agreed. Gen.
Graham is attending a medical
conference at Lima. Peru, and
was in not position to object.
There was a suggestion, how
ever, that neither of the other
competitors had done any better
than the boss.
The President weighted about
180 when the contest. an annual
event, was started. His goal was
ITS. The two generals scale
around 220 and they were hoping
for 200.
The penalty for the losers was
supposed to be $40 (some say SD

above the limit on Thanksgiving

BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Nov. 25.-France and
Poland today faced what a For
eign Office spokesman called their
"gravest" diplomatic crisis in years
as result of arrests of suspected
spies.
The French spokesman an
nounced the jailing of Is Poles in
France. He said they probably
would be tried for espionage.
In Warsaw, the Polish govern

Poles was in retaliation for the ar
rest by Polish police Of Andre
Simon Robineau. a secretary of the
French consulate at Szczecin
(Stettin), on espionage charges.
The French spokesman denied
that the arrests in France were re-
taliatory, but he said the Poles

Jack Walton, 68, Dies;
0usted as Governor
OF Oklahoma in '20s
CoIIing Of National Guard
To Control Ku KIux KIon
Led to impeachment
By the Associo'ed Press

OKLAHOMA CITY. Nov. 25.-
J. c. Gsck) Walton, former Okla
homa Governor, died here shortly
after midnight today.
He had been in failing health
in recent years after tempestu-
Gus political career which saw him
ousted from his gubernatorial post
during a bitter Ku Klux Klan
fight.
Mr.. Walton, 68. was impeached
and ousted in 1923, but the next
year entered the senatorial cam
paign and won the Democratic
nomination. However, he was
beaten in the general election by
w. B. Pine. Okmulgee Republican
Mr.. Walton was born on an In
diana farm March 6, 1881. He
later became a railroad worker
and then a railroad executive
electrical engineer and travelling
salesman before he got into poll
tics and the oil business.
Mr.. Walton's impeachment
produced more fire in Oklahoma
politics than any other episode
up to that time. After one at
tempt to convene the Legislature
had been frustrated, the Assem-
bly, met on October %, 1923, re-
turning % impeachment charges
against the Klan-f1ghting chief
executive. The next month Mr..
Walton was ousted on half the
charges by the Senate court of
impeachment.
The fiery politician brought the
wrath of the Legislature on him
by declaring martial law over
most of Oklahoma because of the
Klan disturbances.
Mr.. Walton went to Houston,
Tex, after his Impeachment and
engaged in the oil business for
several years. He then returned
to Oklahoma City in 1929 to run
for Mayor again. His opponents
charged he was no longer a resi-
dent of Oklahoma and he was
defeated by c. j. Blinn, nom
partisan candidate.
In 1882, Mr.. Walton ran fo1
corporation commissioner on q
"vindication" campaign and was
elected.
Two years later he was a Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor
but was defeated by E. w. Mar
land.

China sReds Reported
Planning Conquest Of
Formosa and Tibet
East European Diplomat.
Says Plans Call for Rule
Of All China by Summer
PANCHAN LAMA, in Reds Hands,
Calls for Liberation of Tibet.
Page A-3.
by the Assoofoted Press

LONDON, Nov. 25. Chinese
Communists plan to thrust their
control over the island fortress of
Formosa and over the mountain
fastness of Tibet by next summer,
an Eastern European diplomat
said today.
Their timetable also includes
grabbing complete control of all
China by that time, but does not
include the British colony of Hong
Kong. at least for the time be-
ing, the Communist diplomat
said. He forbade use of his name
but information he has given in
the past has proved reliable.
Red mastery of Tibet, land of
the worlds highest mountains
ruled by Buddhist lamas, would
bring the Communists to India s
borders. It would give them con-
troll over the Indian common
wealth's northern trade routes
through the states of Bhutan and
Nepal.
Both expansion plans undoubt-
ed1y will mean fierce fighting in
huge military operations.
Island Strongly Defended.
The island of Formosa, strong
hold of Chinese Nationalist leader
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek, is
believed strongly defended against
possible landing operations from
the Chinese mainland.
Although Tibet has only 10000
poorly equipped troops, its for
midable, unmapped terrain will
make movement difficult for the
legions of Communist Leader Mao
Tze-tung.
The diplomat, who represents a
Cominform country with direct re-
lations in Red China, said Hong
Kong was not on the immediate
schedule because the Communist
Peiping government has no desire
to start a shooting war with
Britain over the island.
But it doesn't mean the Reds will
accept eternally Britain's right to
hold that strategic base off China's S
mainland. he added.
Any Communist move into Tibet
promises to give Western govern
ments a headache.
Both Britain and India have
recognized Chinese suzerainty
over an autonomous or self-gov-
erning Tibet. The Chinese Ma
tionalists claimed authority over
the territory but have never really
exercised it.
Tibet Requests Aid.
This threat to the autonomy of
lTibet's monastic rulers compelled
them recently to ask Western ma
tions for arms and material aid.
Taking over the island of For

Fraternity Meeting
Won Take Up Issue
OF Discrimination
MeGroth Urges Fight
On Communist 'Termites
In Talk at Conference
picture on Page BIZ

The National 1nterfraternity
Conference will not take action on
a controversial resolution against
racial or religious discrimination
in college fraternities during it's
annual meeting here, it was an
nounced at the opening session at
the Mayfower Hotel today.
Judge Frank M. Myers Of Mu-
nicipal Court, chairman Of the
conference, announced that the
Executive Committee had cor
rectly" decided that the racial and
religious issues should not be
taken up.
At last years conference meet
ing, a resolution was offered say
ing that in accepting members a
fraternity chapter should be gov
erned by the character and per-
sonality of the candidate rather
than his race, religion or nation
atty" The resolution was referred
to the 81 national fraternities
which are members of the confer
ence.
Only II Replies Received.
Judge Myers asid replies were
received from only II fraternities
and IL of these said the matter
was mot proper for conference
consideration"
"This conference, Judge Myers
said. "has definitely indicated that
the matter of the qualifications of
its membership is solely the busi-
ness of each fraternity and that
the conference should not attempt
to consider the subject"
There is a possibility that a new
attempt may be made to bring
the anti-discrimination issue to
the floor of the conference at the
two-day session. The Dartmouth
College Interfraternity Council 10
days ago urged n Northeastern
colleges to support such a move.
Attorney General McGrath. ad-
dressing a panel discussion at to-
days meeting, urged the fraternity
leaders to fight "the Communist
termites that are eating their way
into the colleges" especially in
debating societies and on campus
newspapers. ~.
Loyalty oaths for college stu
dents or faculties or fraternities
are not the way to combat this
menace" Mr.. McGrath said.
He recommended that fraternity
members be watchful Of front
groups" which usually masquerade
under Understanding names and
pretend to be aimed at correcting
the supposed wrongs in democratic
society"
Suggestions Offered.
The Attorney Generals sugges-
tions to fraternities included
these:
The fraternity man must be a
good American, must protect civil
liberties and must discourage
discrimination against minority
groups.
Students should not make false
charges and label man or an
organization as Communists until
the facts are known. The best
way to handle such q situation is.
