$500, 900 Estimated
Given Away Annually

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 R.-
Radio giveaways will be hard hit
by today's ruling Of the Federal
Communications Com mission n,
trade circles here believe.
It has been estimated that from
$3,500,000 in merchandise and
cash - mostly merchandise - Is
given away annually on the four
major networks alone. The trade
publication, Radio Daily, said that
in one recent week the four net
works had 33 giveaways with total
prizes of $205, 900. However, some
of these prizes stand for several
weeks before being won, so the
amount actually awarded each
week would be somewhat lower.
The great bulk of giveaway
prizes come not from the networks
or the sponsors, but from manu-
facturers who donate their prod
ucts In return for free mention on
the program.
It has been estimated that the
listeners chance of even beina
called to answer jackpot question
on any individual program is one
in %, 100000. On some programs
telephone calls are made only tc
listeners who have written letters
to the program.
The giveaway has been gaining
ground on television. although tc
nothing like the extent 1t has or
radio.

this country would be justified in
taking military action" If Russia
moved on Turkey. He added,
however, he doesn't think the
Soviets will make any such move.
He is against the Economic Re-
covery Program in Europe because
it is not channelled through the
United Nations. Mr.. Wallace said.
He agreed with Senator Dulles,
Republican, of New York that
Russia is increasing its armed
strength and that the Russians
have no moral scruples against
war.
Mr.. Wallace had quoted Sena-
tor Dulles as saying he did not
believe the Russians have any
military aggression in mind.
Senator Dulles said that holds
true only as long as the Russians
continue to win great victories"
through the Communist technique
of subversive warfare "in which
they are superior to U.s." He
added that another factor re-
straining the Russians is Ameri-
can military strength which
makes it doubtful that the Rus

Virginia AFL Seeks
S250,000 Chest
By The Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. ia
Virginia Federation of Labor Of
fetal estimated yesterday $250,000
could be raised in the State to-
ward the American Federation OF
Labor's 100000 war chest for
the 1850 national elections.
President Jack Smith based this
estimate on participation by every
VFL member in the fund to de-
feat labor's foes and elect its
friends. However. he said the
actual Virginia total probably
would not approach his estimated
potential because of the purely
voluntary" nature Of the fund
raising campaign.
Mr.. Smith, also chairman Of the
VFL's political arm. Virginia
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, said the league is continu-
ing it's drive for votes in the No
vember general elections.
Principal objective then Of the
league, he said, will be the defeat
Of the proposed Campbell amend
ments to the State Constitution.
He denounced these as giving
leach legislature a free ticket" in
writing the election laws.
AS for the war chest fund, Mr..
Smith said plans call for a return
Of at least half Of the Virginia
contributions to the league for its
State battles.
The Campbell amendments pro-
vide for So capitation tax COL
lected by the State from every
person and would permit counties
and cities to levy an additional 81
'capitation tax, not as a require
ment for suffage qualification, but
asa prerequisite for issuance of

Restrictions May Bar
Thousands Of DPS,
Carusi Declares
BY the Associated Press

Thousands Of European wal
refugees who now are listed for
admission to the United States
may never get here, the head OF
the Displaced Persons Commission
said today.
This official, Ugo Carusi, said
that will be the situation unless
Senators agree to changes in the
present law admitting 205.000 to
the United States.
Mr.. Carusi told reporter z
percentage limitations are caus-
ing trouble. These require that
80 per cent of the refugees be ex-
perienced farmers and 40 per cent
be from the Baltic nations.
Mr.. CaruSi and other officials OF
the Displaced Persons Commission
are attending hearings of the Sen
ate judiciary subcommittee on a
number Of displaced persons bills
including one passed by the House
Chairman McCarran Of the
Senate Judiciary Committed said
the hearing today was called for
witnesses who want some dis
placed persons admitted from
Greece.
Discrimination Denied.
Later, he said the Senate group
will hear requests for admission
Of displaced Arabs. White Rus
SLAMS and Chinese and possibly
displaced persons from India.
Senator McCarran has been
opposing demands Of President
Truman and other administration
leaders for Senate action on the
House bill. It would remove a
number of restrictions included in
the present act.
Senator McCarran fatty denied
at a hearing yesterday that the
present law discrilninates against
Jews and Roman Catholics. This
criticism has been made by
President Truman.
Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee has been tes-
tifying before the McCarran Sub
committee urging prompt and
favorable action on the House
passed bill.
It would admit $4,000 persons,
give them an additional year to
come to this country and liberal
ize a number of provisions In the
present law.
$4,000 Have Arrived.
Mr.. Carusi said he will testify
In support Of Mr.. Truman's criti-
cism Of the existing law.
He said a larger number Of the
European refugees actually go to
farms here, but cannot be cred
tied as experienced farm workers
required within the 80 per cent
limitation. He said the 40 per
cent requirement on Balts also is
causing difficulties.
To date, Mr.. CaruSi said. only
$4,000 of the 5000 eligible have
arrived in the United States. If
restrictions are removed, he said,
1t would be possible to I'LL the
quotas voted last year or the new
one voted by the House.
Mr.. Carusi said that SO per cent
Of those admitted so far have been
Roman Catholics, 20 per cent Jews
and the remaining 81 per cent
Protestants or members of other
religions. He said about 1000 per-
sons could not be accurately clas-
Siffed as to religion.

Commissioner Freida Hennock
dissented to the proposed regula-
tions.
It was announced that three
members of the commission now
away from Washington-Chair-
man Wayne Coy and Commis-
sioners Rosel Hyde and Robert F
Jones-did not take part in the
decision.
With the Hennock dissent. the
new rules were adopted by three
members-Paul Walker. Edward
Webster and George Sterling.
Miss Hennock took. the view
that the proposed regulation was
one which should have been
handled by the Justice Depart
ment or by congressional action.
She said the FEC had broadened
the Interpretation Of the criminal
statutes, and that action, so far
as the lottery question is con-
cerned, would affect prize offers
"in which none of the participants
risked anything of value"
Arlington Show Already Banned.
The FEC originally announced
August S, 1948. that it proposed to
investigate the give-aways under
the anti-lottery section Of the

The proposals were the subject
of extended hearings and legal

Northern Democratic ranks, which
usually line up solidly for any
thing the President wants.
The roll call count on the
amendment Of Representative
Richards, Democrat of South
Carolina, to halve the Western
European fund found IS members
not accounted for. And among
the II Democrats who supported
the amendment were many North
ern members who normally are
found in administration ranks.
The theory behind the Richards
amendment is that additional
funds can be provided next year
if benef1ting nations demonstrate
by then that they are going to
work together for mutual defense.
Opponents vainly hammered at
the theme that Russia would use
the reduction as fodder for propa-
ganda that the United States does
not trust its allies and Is not will
ing to go all out to help them.
Acheson Argument Similar.
In more diplomatic words. Sec
retary of State Acheson offered
the same argument In a letter put
into the Congressional Record be-
for the House voted.
The bills House managers said
privately they doubt If they can
salvage the Western European cut
in the Senate. although they hope
they may get part of it restored.
There have been. demands from
Senators for cuts.
Mr.. Wallace reiterated in q
statement before ths Senate group
his belief that Russia does not
want war. and declared that the
administration program to arm
this country's Allies is part Of a
policy which has failed wherever
it has been tried-in Greece, in
Turkey and in China.
THE policy of the arms program
was given a full run in China,
the one-time Vice President said.
AT long last the administration
has admitted the complete failure
of that policy in China. 1t was
forced to by events.
- Sees Mistake Repeated.
"The waste, the futility, the
utter insanity Of that policy OF
trying to contain an idea with
guns. of supporting reaction to
suppress social reform, stands
clear for all the world to see"
Mr.. Wallace said that If the
administrators foreign policy is
military insanity, it is economic
suicide" because it fails to take
into account the developing world
economic crisis"
II prefer to think" he said,
that the great power Of Ameri-
can industry and agriculture is
best used In serving the world, not
in destroying it. in freeing men
from the slavery and misery OF
half-starvation and low standards
of living.
1--WE cannot live up to our gen.
erous protestations about peace
as long as we continue the un-
lateral path that Mr.. Truman,
aided by both political parties, has
set out on.
"Step by step that path is lead
ing us to world ruin and war"
As q substitute for the rearma-
ment Of western Europe. Mr.. Wal
lace revived his proposal for crea-
ton of United Nations agency
which would mean converting the

gram into a world program"
In response to questions by
Senator Smith, Republican. OF
New Jersey Mr.. Wallace said he
doesn't think aid to Greece and
Turkey has changed the situation
much in those countries. He con-
ceded, however, that the Commu-
nists might now control Greece II
