Soviet Demands Order
For Reich Missions
Custer Be Cancelled
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Feb. 26.-The Soviet
government has demanded that
American occupation authorities
rescind an order closing the Soviet
repatriations mission in the Amer
lean zone of Germany March /.
Tass announced that notes were
handed the United States and
British Embassies Thursday "in
connection with obstacles put by
American and British authorities
in the way of repatriation of So
Wet citizens in the American and
British occupation zones in Ger
many and Austria"
The note to the United States
was one of the most sharply
phrased communications delivered
by the Russians in months. 1t
demanded that American authori-
ties take measures assuring nor
NAL conditions" for work of the
mission.
The newspapers Pravda and
Izvestia prominently displayed the
summaries by Tass. the official
Soviet news agency.
Agreements Referred to.
The note referred to repatria-
ton agreements at Yalta and
Potsdam and to a United Nations
resolution of November II, 1947,
on the subject. The U. N. resolu-
ton urged all nations to adopt
measures for the early return of
refugees and DPS to their home
lands.
The note said the Russians, hav-
ing completed the repatriation of
American citizens on time, had a
right to expect the United States
would fulfill it's own repatriation
obligations.
Russia claims as her citizens dis
placed persons from Eastern Po-
land and other Eastern European
territories she has absorbed since
the war. Most of those remaining
in Western camps have passed up
the opportunity to be returned.
Top officials in Washington pre-
dicted the United States will reject
the Russian demand. The Febru-
ary Is order by Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, American occupation COM
mander, for shutting down the
eight-man repatriation mission
was fully backed by the State De-
partment. Gen. Clay said the num-
ber of displaced persons who VOL
unteered to return to Russia in
the past year was negligible and
that the accredited Soviet military
mission could handle the work.
Clay Issues Statement.
In a statement issued in Frank
furt last night Gen. Clay said:
For four years all people in
the United States zone who came
from other countries have been
given every opportunity to return.
Repatriation has been encouraged
as voluntary measure on their
part. We stand ready to return
on voluntary oasis any one who
wants to return.
Put is is obvious from the rec
ord of the past year there are few,
if any, persons left in the United
STATES zone who Lesire to return
to Soviet verritory"

University Club Hears
Taft AssaiI Truman's
Proqram as Socialism

Senator Taft, Republican of
Ohio pinned a label of socialism
on President Truman's legislative
program in an informal speech
last night at the University Club
of Washington.
Principal speaker at festivities
marking the 45th anniversary of
the club of which his father was
elected the first president in 1904,
Senator Taft said the Congress
could spend several years of ord
erly debate on the administra-
tion'S program.
Nobody ever faced so many
revolutionary things as this pres
ent Congress-" he declared. Il
think we should insist on seven
month session. A little less legis-
lation would be a benefit to the
country"
Senator Taft singled out the
Presidents welfare legislation for
special attack. 1t demands, he
said, "the complete socializing of
all welfare on a cradle-to-the
grave basis that goes further than
anything they have been able to
get in socialistic England"
Such a program. he told the
gathering, can lead to two alter
natives:
Either the people will rise up
and throw it all out-which is my
sincere hope-or we will get to the
point of totalitarian govern
ment."
Senator Taft was introduced by
Clifford K. Bergman, cartoonist
for The Star and for many years
a member of the club.
More than 200 members at
tended the anniversary dinner and
listened to a history of their club
from 1904 to 1949 illustrated with
slides.
The charter members were on
hand. They were Oliver Metzer-
oft, Ralph P. Barnard. George w.

House Is Expected
To Take Up District
SIum Projects Today
by Chris Mothisen

The question OF District partici-
patton in the Administration
housing bills proposed slum-
clearance and public housing
projects was due for considera-
tion by the House today, as 1t
wound UP general debate and
turned to amendments.
After discussing some of the
proposed changes In the big meas
ure. the House Is expected to put
the bill aside until Monday.
Speaker Rayburn said he antici-
pates no difficulty in obtaining
final approval. He said he expects
the vote to come Monday, but is
prepared to carry the bill over to
Tuesday. If necessary.
Democratic leaders have boost
ed their confidence with new
checks Of the membership and
now are predicting the housing
legislation will have 40 or more
votes to spare when the final test
comes next week.
In forecasting substantial Re-
publican support. they have been
seconded by Representative Javits,
Republican. of New York. He
took the floor yesterday to indorse
the bill in principle. Representa-
tive Burdick, Republican, Of
North Dakota did the same.
Two District Amendments.
The Districts special interest In
the measure centers on two
amendments, one of which was in
cluded in the similar bill passed
by the Senate April 81.
Changes proposed by the House
Banking Committee, which is in
charge Of the bill on the floor, are
scheduled to be taken UP first, and
these two amendments are among
them.
The one voted by the Senate
would restore TO the National
Capital Housing Authority its for
mer authority to acquire sites for
low-rent public housing projects.
This would enable the NCHA to
participate in the public housing
construction feature of the bill.
AS it stands. the measure calls
for building 1850, 900 units of pub
hc housing over a seven-year Pc
riod. The House Democratic cau-
Gus has decided, however. to sup
port an amendment to change
this to $4,000 units in six years,
as approved by the Senate.
Some Opposition Seen.
The other amendment involv-
ing the District would authorize
the District Redevelopment Land
Agency to take part in the slum-
clearance financing proposed by
the measure. The District could
receive grants-in-aid on the same
basis as communities in the
States.
This proposal is expected to-
generate some opposition on the
floor. It may reach tentative
vote late today.
Yesterdays House debate on the
housing program was featured by
the first speech on the floor by
Representative Franklin D. Roose-
yelt, jr.. Democrat. of New York.
MIR. Roosevelt said he had not
intended to speak on the floor sol
soon Che was sworn in last week. ;,
but felt impelled to urge approval
of the housing bill.
