public housing units has not yet
been determined but it probably
will have little effect in this field.
A Government, housing spokes-
man said that in the case Of public
housing, the municipal authority
is the landlord and will be able to
continue to select tenants on the
basis Of local policy as provided
by the National Housing Act.
Amending FHA Rules.
In announcing the Govern
ment's new policy before the New
York State Committee on Dis
elimination in Housing. Mr.. PERL
man used these words:
president Truman and Hous-
ing and Home Finance Admin
istrator Foley have authorized At
torney General McGrath, for
whom I speak today, to tell you
that the Federal Housing .Ad-
ministration is amending its rules
so as to refuse to aid the f1nanc-
ing Of any properties. the occu-
pancy or use of which is restricted
on the basis Of race or creed o,
color"
Mr.. Perlman Immediately quail
fed this announcement by add
ing:
Under the amendments to be
issued, no property will be eligi-
BILE for FILA mortgage insurance
If, after a date to be specified
in the amendments and before
the FHA-insured mortgage is re-
corded, there has been recorded
a covenant racially restricting the
use Of occupancy Of the prop.
erty."
Will Not Be Retroactive.
Mr.. Perlman said the new reg.
ulations will forbid any landlord
who receives FILA aid, after the
policy goes into effect, from re.
cording any restriction on the
sale or occupancy of the mort.
gagged property until the FaA-in.
sured mortgage is paid.
Emphasizing again that the new
rules will not be retroactive, Mr.
Perlman then went on to explain
that the Government action i.
being taken to bring FILA opera.
tions "'fully into line with the
policy underlying the recent de.
cisions of the Supreme Court II

He pointed out that under these
decisions, although individual.
may be free to impose or compl,
with restrictive racial covenants
governmental support of sucf
covenants is contrary to the pub
lie policy Of the United States ane
cannot be enforced by State o.

| Asked to explain just how
widespread will be the. effect O.
the new policy, Mr.. Richards
whose Office handles Government
home financing aids, predicted:
1T will be an exceptional cas-,
where a property cannot receive
Federal mortgage help"
|. Reaction Is Mixed.
Housing officials estimated abou
one-third Of new home construc
ltion since the war has beef
financed under FILA mortgage In
surance. Mr.. Richards declines
to estimate how many Of, mex
years home-building projects WI
be affected by the new ruling, bu
he clearly indicated the total af

Sherman, Tells Of Navy
Plan 10 Perfect New
Submarine Strategy
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Dec. 3.-Ad-
miral Forrest P. Sherman has dis
closed that the Navy is shaping
new strategy calling for the use
of atomic weapons and guided mis-
siles in submarine warfare.
The Chief of Naval Operations
outlined the new concept In an
address at the Naval Academy. His
comments obviously were directed
at Navy critics as well as the fu-
ture admirals. -
Without mentioning Russia by
name, he said, Another power
has a submarine force larger than
ours" This, he asserted, lis a
potent argument for the United
States to possess. not an equal
number Of submarines, but anti
submarine naval elements Of
greater effectiveness.
OF the type Of vessels needed
for the new anti-submarine STRAIT
egy, the admiral said it might in
clude:
/. Fast carriers in CONJUNCTION
with surface and submarine
guided-missile ships for attacking
bases.
2. Special raider amphibious
units for demolition of bases.
8. Hunter-killer teams of sub
marines, ssurface ships, airplanes
and blimps.
4. Powerful convoy escorts and
coastal defense against submarines
firing guided missiles into oul
cities.
First Speech Since Shift.
It was Admiral Sherman's first
speech since he was named tc
replace Admiral Louis E. Denfeld
in the Navy's top uniformed post
as an aftermath of the Navy row
over Pentagon policy. and he had
some comments on that matter
1T would be less than realistic,
he said, mot to take cognizance
of the conflicting views Of the
services with respect to theil
responsibilities for national secur.
ity which have been aired since
the end Of the war, and partic.
ularly in recent months"
He added that these differences
in professional opinion" are to be
expected but never forget thai
we are all striving for common
goal-the preservation Of oul
country, our freedom and our ma
tional way Of life.
when our beliefs and profes.
sional advice have been adequately
presented-on any level of com
mand or responsibility" he said
lit is then our duty to carry Out
the decisions Of our SUPERIOR
without equivocation or eva.

Denies Navy's Sun Is Setting.

Correspondence

Committee gave two reasons for
my not acquiring the lease. First,
that the Administrator and the
Hon. Hodge were of the opinion
that / did not require the premises
as / had offered the plant for sale.
Then later and contrary to this the
letter of March 8, that I had taken
no action to avail myself of the
lease. In my opinion an honest &
correct answer would have ex-
planned that the Hon. Harry E.
Taylor was interested in having
the premises leased to the other
party and that the COMMITTEES was
most anxious to do his bidding.
We must remember that the Hon.
Neazer is a Government employee
the Hon. Hodge conducts his BUSH
ness on Government owned pro-
perry leased to him through the
Administrators Office. The other
member the Hon. Chase is in the
minority.
Each election day we &C to the

age and fortitude is needed we
find ourselves saddled with a
bunch of weaklings & soft brains
who have not yet learned the
meaning Of the word democracy

win the abortion of human rights

In conclusion ! respectfully sug-
gest that II the ability of the Nun

David Cole, Arbitrator,
considered for Post Of
Labor Undersecretary

David L. Cole. attorney and labor
relations expert, is being considered
by President Truman for appoint.
ment as Undersecretary of Labor.
1t was learned yesterday.
Mr.. Cole, who is from Paterson, N.
j., is being considered along with
John w. Gibson, an Assistant Sec
rotary who is the choice of Secretary
Tobin for the Labor Departments
No. 2 spot. Mr.. Gibson has act.
ing undersecretary since the resig-
nation last summer of David L.
Morse.
The American Federation of La
Dor has protested to President Tru.
man and Secretary Tobin the pro-
posed promotion of Mr.. Gibson,
one-time head of the CLIO in Mich
igan. The AFL feels it would give
the CLIO the upper hand in the de-
partment. The custom for some
years has been to have an assistant
secretary from both the AFL and
CLIO, while the undersecretaryship
has gone to a neutral. Ralph Wright
of the International Typographical
Union is now the AFL's assistant
secretary.
Both Mr.. Tobin and Mr.. Gibson
campaigned strenuously for the
Presidents election.
Mr.. Cole is one of the country's
better known arbitratorS of labor
management disputes and has taken
part in many big disputes. Last
spring the President namesd him
chairman of the fact-f1nding board
whic investigated the contract dis
pute between John L. Lewis and
the soft coal operators. Recently
he served as member of Mr.. Tru-
mans emergency board in the dis
pute between the railroads and the
incorporating rail brotherhoods.

Soviet Accuses Firms
fTwo-Faced Policy
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Jan. 8.-The Literary
Gazette accused the Finnish govern
ment today of being two-faced to
Russia.
The article said recent propa-
ganda book on Finland was printed
in Russian, English and other Ian
guages. The Russian edition varied
from the others, it added.
The Gazette said the first page
Of the Russian edition declared Fin
land is striving for friendship with
all peace-loving peoples" The arti-
Gle said the statement is missing en-
tirely from the English edition. An
other statement in the Russian edi-
ton said the Soviet Union was the
first government to recognize Fin
land" but this was declared lacking
in other editions. At another place
the Russian edition mentions Rus
sian generosity" in cancelling some
Finnish PREPARATIONS. This was
dropped from other editions. the
Gazette said.
The deceivers from Helsinki (the
Finnish capital are conducting a
two-faced policy" the angry article
said. They think they are able to
turn in equal measure smiling face
in the direction of the U. S. S. r.
and in the direction Of the trans
oceanic war instigators. 1t Is clear
that /" the smiling face turned
in the direction of the U. S. s. r. is
oi1lv a mask"

Vorys Sees Bi-Party Attack
On Policy Toward China

A "bi-partisan attack" on the ad-
ministration's policy toward China
was forecast last night by Represen-
tative Vorys, Republican, of Ohio,
at meeting of the Ohio Society in
Washington at the Lafayette
School
Mr.. Vorys, member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, charged
a policy of deliberate neglect of
our interests in Asia. But, he said,
this policy is not bipartisan"
The Ohio legislator scored the
deliberate partisan loading of the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee,
but said the Republicans were
pledged to cooperate in foreign
policy matters.
He said the newly-appointed Sec
rotary of State. Dean Acheson, pre-
viously has shown great skill and
tact in working with Congress.

Strike by Store Union
In New York Is Ruled
Violation Of Labor AcI

A trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board yesterday
held local union in viola ton of the
part of the Taft Hartley Act which
forbids strikes for recognition as
collective bargaining agents.
1t was the first opinion on that
section of Taft Hartley which makes
it unlawful for union to strike in
order to force recognition after the
board has certified another union as
exclusive bargaining representative
of a group of workers.
The examiner William F. Schar-
nikow, recommended that a local
of the independent Department
Store Employees Union be required
to cease its efforts OF compel New
York department store to recognize
it as agent for ATS sales and office
employees. The union formerly was
affiliated with the CLIO.
NLRB conducted an election at
the store and the employees selected
the AFL Retail Clerks Association
to represent them with management.
The day after election the indie
pendent union called strike, and
the Government obtained a court
injunction against the strike activi-
ties. Subsequently the local was
held in contempt for ignoring the
order.
Barring a contest by either side
within 20 days, the examiners rec
concentrations will take effect as
an NLRB order.
In the NLRB case before Mr.
ScharnikoW, the local union ad-
mitted the strike activities but de-
MED they constituted an unfair
labor practice. 1t based the denial
on two grounds:
l. That the NLRB certifcation
Of another union was illegal because
the Local and other parties had
been refused permission to inter-
vene in the election proceedings.
2. That the Taft-Hartley pro-
vision which forbids any strike de-
signed to upset a board certifica-
ton is unconstitutional.

I made some more calls and finally

Sergt. Reynolds said he learned to
cook before he joined the Army in
1898.
Il was cumming around and there
was depression, but I found out a
short-order cook could always get
a job so I learned how" he ex-
planned.
Miss Culley said that after she be-

will stay out of the kitchen.

do so much better than he can" she
said as she watched her hero soldier

what happened, didn't you? Nearly
every Republican member of the

them no good with the folks back

Among the Republican members

the more important Rules Commit

committee assignments.
All this means that Government
employees and their various groups
have their work cut out for them
during the next two years. They'll
have to battle every step of the way
for legislation they are interested in.
1t should be pointed out, how
ever, that not all Federal workers
