RUSS FL0UT JUN. CHARTER,
 SAYS TRUMAN
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

 WASHINGTON, May "A - R = President Truman has assaileo Russia's boycott of the United Ma tions over the Chinese Communist issue as "willful flouting" of the LIN. charter.
 He told Congress the world or ganization is sensibly carrying on business as usual" The chief executive attacked the Russian refusal to attend LIN. ses- sions with Chinese Nationalist dele gates, in a report to Congress in which he also said that the year 1949 produced a tightening of the East-Wes conflict.
 After reviewing numerous specific issues on which he said the Soviets blocked constructive action in the LIN. last year, MT. Truman de- clared:
 '"The year ended with deepening of the tension which has marked international relations throughout the postwar period"
 He said this was true for many reasons-which still hold good in the middle of 1850. Among them he listed failure to agree on an atomic control plan, failure to progress to- ward ending the armamentS race, and the tendency of the Soviets, while blocking German and Japa- nese peace settlements, to isolate themselves increasingly from the rest of the world. In this connection the President noted for the first time in a United Nations report that Russia now has possession of the atomic weapon. ' He gave the world the first official Western report last September 2a when he announced "an atomic ex- plosion" had occurred in the Soviet Union.
 The LIN. report was prepared by the State Department and MT. Tru- man submitted it to Congress with a letter setting forth his personal views.
 The President praised highly the work of the United Nations in sett- ling the Indonesian dispute, the Arab-Jewish fighting in Palestine and the India-Pakistan troubles over Kashmir.
 He said that many lives have been saved" as result of the LIN work on these disputes last year and that such attacks on specific problems as well as it's general work in behalf of peace showed that the JUN. lis distinguishing between re- alities and illusions" and is striving for solid gains through actual per- formance."

Where Big Vote
Will Pay labor
Biggest Dividends

WASHINGTON q P Al -
Voters are watching Korea and
forgetting about Congress-but
November z is still Election
Day-warns Louis H.. Bean, cleo
ton expert, and author OF The
Midterm Battle" his new book
on the 1850 elections.
Bean is a political analyst and
forecaster with an amazin &
record Of accurate predictions
He was one of the very few who
called the turn in l948.
Beans points out that during
wartime, voters stay away from
the polls. And many people fail
TO vote in off-year OF mid-term
elections. When a mid-term cleo
ton is held in a wartime atmo-
sphere, an unusually light vote
may be expected, unless steps
are taken to reverse this trend"
Labor's political directors
have pointed out time and again
that a light vote, especially in
important industrial states S,
works to the advantage OF the
reactionaries. A heavy vote
works to the advantage of labors
friends.
Bean points out hat nine
states in the industrial north
eastern section of the country
elect a total of 202 congressman.
The states are Massachusetts,,
New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois and Missouri. In
these states. successful get-out-
the-vote campaigns will pay the
biggest dividends.
These nine states in i948 cleo
ted 100 Democratic congress
men. Bean notes. The 50 new

July 20. Baruch called for price,

for the Democrats to regain con-

Instead of 1850 being an off

labor's political directors have
pointed out. The Congress cleo
ted in 1850 will be the Congress

period ahead. The kind of Con-

whether labor turns out to vote.
