European Press. Sees
Truman Speech Start
OF Drive Against Reds
Extension of Cold War
Expected; Communists
Ask Counteroffensive
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The Euro
pean press, both Communist and
lon- Communist, generally agreed
today that President Truman's
inaugural address foreshadows
an all-out offensive against COM
muniSm.
The London Times said American
policy now may we'll be to extend
the conflict between Russia and the
United States to other parts of the
globe ="
The Communist press Of Europe
although concentrating on eulogies
to Soviet Communism on the 25th
anniversary of Lenin's death, made
room for angry. answers.
For the first time, President Tru-
man laying aside sentimental gen.
eralities. has attacked Communism
as a doctrine" said the Communist
L Humanite in Paris. 1t said the
President publicly takes a place at
the head of a crusade-political mil
itary. economic and even religious
to oppose Communism.
Rome Paper Halls Address.
The independent Rome paper,
Momento. hailed the address as
open and absolute condemnation of
Communism" but suggested it might
have been opportune. before max
ing the speech, to send dozen
divisions and hundred or so air
squadrons to Europe"
The speech was largely ignored by
the Russian press, which usually
waits a day or so after such an
event before it presents a report to
Russian readers. Pravda and lives
tia in Moscow devoted their space
to hailing Lenin and his works.
In Prague the official organ of
the Communist Party also skipped
a report on the speach, but the rest
of the press in Communist-ruled
Czechoslovakia condemned it as ad-
vocating a United States effort to
rule the world.
La Libre Belgique, Roman Catholic
Brussels daily, said the President S
words show he does not intend to
bargain with communism nor with
the men who represent it.
Red Offensive Called For.
Taegliche Rundschau. the official
Soviet paper in Berlin, called for
Communist ideological offensive to
speed up the inevitable downfall
of capitalism"
The victory, it said, must be
gained by fighting
On an inside page, however, the
paper recalled Prime Minister
Stalin's statement to Harold Stassen
two years ago that Communism and
capitalism can live together in the

Witnesses in Attack
On Jury System
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-Attor-
neys for II American Commu-
mist leaders began calling wit
nesses today in an effort to dis
credit New Yorks jury-picking
system.
However, one of their witnesses
will not be Presiding Federal Judge
Harold r. Medina.
They had announced yesterday
they would try to call him. but he
said at the opening of court today
he would not testify, explaining he

The Communist officials. all men,
bers of the party's National Com
mittee, are charged with seeking
the forcible overthrow of the United
States Government.
However, the defense attorneys
are serving in effect as prosecutors
in presenting evidence to try to
prove that discrimination exists in
selection of prospective jurors here.
Banker Is Called.
The first witness called was Her.
bert Allen, an investment banker
and member of the jury panel.
The defense counsel sought in
their questions to sho wMr Aliens
financial status but Judge Medina
overruled many of them.
Harry Sacher, a defense lawyer,
then asserted that if questions
could not be asked about the wit
ness economic holdings, then the
hearing rs just sham designed to
prevent proof that this system is
just what we say it is
The defense lawyers said yester-
day Ihev might call Judge Medina
along with other Judges in this
Federal district in their assault on

This had raised the question that
Judge Medina might be disqualified
from presiding at the trial.

However. as the trial opened today,

Shortly before the new Secretarys
induction, Mr.. Truman was reported
to have put in word of his own at
the Capitol for his worldwide plans.
He attended an y-morning
breakfast there given by the Mis-
souri, delegation in Congress. House
members who were present told re-
porterS he said that American pro-
duction could not catch up with de-
mand for 100 years if the standard
of living in Asiatic countries could
be raised 2 per cent.
A broad program of economic aid
overseas is one of the foundations
of the program the President out
lined in yesterdays inaugural ad-
dress.
Sees U. S. Prosperity Aided.
Long g-time prosperity in this coun-
try would be the result of such a
rise in Asiatic living standards, Mr..
Truman was reported to have said.
Presumably he meant that the East
ern countries would be buying more
goods and materials from the United
States.
Mr.. Truman also was quoted as
saying he realizes the responsibility
he has on national and international
affairs-and that Congress has an
equal responsibility. Those present
said he asked for teamwork in striv-
ing for peace.
No one wants another war, the
President said, and he does not be-
lieve there is any necessity for
another one if everybody works for
peace.
Another war might set the Nation
back a century in progress, he was
quoted as saying.
