Out, Adviser 10
Truman Says
Defense Secretary
Moy Resign Before
November Election
By Ernest B. Voecoro
Associated Press Sfaff Writer

A close adviser to President Tru-
man said today that Louis John
son is on his way out as Secre-
tary of Defense.
This administration conflGant.
who refused to be quoted by name,
said Secretary johnson may step
out before the general election in
November.
This report lacked any Official
confirmation from the White
House or Defense Department. In
fact the current feeling in Con-
gress is that the President is still
sticking by his Defense Secretary.
Mr.. johnson has been the
target of swelling flood of criti-
cism from Congress and other
sources. This reached it's bitter
est pitch last week end when Rep
resentative Tauriello, Democrat,
OF New York, in a second demand
for Mr.. johnson to quit, said he
understood Mr.. johnson helped
force the late Defense Secretary
James Forrestal out of office.
Marine League BoIsters Demand
And only yesterday the Marine
Corps League adopted resolu-
tion calling for. Secretary john
sons removal.
Mr.. Truman has vigorously de-
Tended Mr.. johnson on more than
one occasion.
However, some White House
aides said the President has been
increasingly concerned over per-
sisting reports of differences be-
tween Mr.. johnson and Secretary
of State Acheson.
One daily confidant of the Pres
ident said that while Mr.. Truman
will defend to the limit an ap-
pointee from outside attack he is
concerned because of published
reports of Defense Department
criticism of the Secretary of State
Acheson Position Good.
"Of this you may be sure" one
White House aide said, "the Pies
ident feels that Secretary of State
Acheson has borne up in this case
with supreme dignity and will re-
main in the cabinet after johnson
has gone"
How long Secretary Johnson will
stay on the job, this source said

Face Senate Probers
Behind Closed Doors
Former Mobsters Brine
Requested Records and
Will Answer Questions
BY the Associated Press

Three former members Of the
old AL Capone mob in Chicago
were being questioned behind
closed doors today by Senate
crime investigators.
The trio. listed as Paul DLucia,
Louis Campagna and Charles
Gioe, sent word in advance
through attorneys that they
would answer questions and
would bring along requested rec
ordS.
DLucia and Campagna showed
up carrying briefcases, and Give
came along later carrying a paper
wrapped package.
The Senate Crime Committee,
headed by Senator Kefauver,
Democrat, Of Tennessee, has had
an investigator in Chicago in re-
cent weeks looking into crime
and gambling activities.
Chicago Hearings Planned.
Once the groundwork has been
completed. the committee plans to
hold public hearings in Chicago.
Senator Kefauver, however, said
that no date has been fixed for
those hearings.
DLucia, Campagna and Gioe
figured in a stormy congressional
investigation Of paroles in 1947
and 1948.
Convicted in 1914 in connection
with 81 million extortion plot
in the motion picture industry,
they were paroled after serving
three years and four months of
10-year sentences.
A House Expenditures subcom-
mittee headed by Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan
investigated the paroles seeking to
find out if political connections or
money payments figured in the
clemency.
At the end of its inquiry, the
committee demanded that the
three men be returned to prison.
They were jailed but later regained
their freedom under habeas corpus
writs.
Two Friends" Identified.
In it's report, the subcommittee
made q point of identifying two
attorneys who represented the
men as personal" friends, respec-
lively. of President Truman and
the then Attorney General Tom
Clark. The attorneys were Paul
Dillon Of st. Louis and Maury
Hughes of Dallas.
The committee said large sums
of money" had been spent in get
ting the paroles but added that
there is no evidence that any
portion Of the money used was
paid to any official as bribe.'
Testimony received by the SEN
ate crime investigators last July
from Virgil w. Peterson, director
OF the Chicago Crime Commission,
was filled with references to the
trio.

Taft Backs Lodge Plan
For Military Strength
0f3OGround Divisions
Ohioun Cautious, However,
On Definite Commitment
OF Troops for Europe
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio today threw his support be-
hind a proposal of Senator Lodge
Republican, of Massachusetts to
boost American military strength
to the point where 80 ground divi-
sions would be available for fight
ing.
Senator Lodge told the Senate
yesterday that this country may
be called on to furnish 20 divi-
sions to bolster the defenses of
Europe against possible attack by
Russia.
The Massachusetts Senator,
member of the American delega-
ton to the United Nations, said
it probably will take Is divisions
to defeat the North Korean Com
munists. He added that another
five must be kept at home to be
used to meet ANY number of un-
pleasant possibilities in other
parts of the world"
Wary Of European Commitment.
Senator Taft told reporter he
would support a move to bring
the fighting divisions up to 80,
which would mean about 500, 900
men. But he added that he wants
to go slow on sending troops to
Europe until a unified defense
plan is worked out and European
countries pledge troops of their
own.
Their is still no final plan for
defending Western Europe" he
said. Until there is such a plan,
we won't be able to tell what the
European countries are going to
do for themselves. I'm willing
to send more troops to Europe
but I want to know first what
is needed"
Coordination and buildup of
Western Europe's armed forces is
to be a principal topic discussed
by American, British and French
foreign ministers in New York
next week. The extent of West
ern Germany's participation in
such plans is also to be studied
then. Highly authoritative sources

THE result" he said, might be
to weaken our naturalization laws
rather than strengthen them. The
result might also be to jeopardize

Check Car To
Check Accidents
Advises Weaver

"a car is no safer than it's
weakest part" and many Ohio
vehicles had weak parts last year.
Chief of Police, H. S. Weaver, re-
minds that one-fifth of the cars
inspected in the 1949 voluntary
car check were not in safe operat-
ing condition.
Over the country 1870 of the
cars which figure in accidents were
found to have had a serious de-
feet. The percentage is almost
twice as high as it was before
the war. Parts and mechanics are
as plentiful now as they were back
in 1910, so there is no sound rea-
son for driving a car that is un-
safe, declare the police chief.
In the Ohio Car Check the most
numerous defects were on tail
lights, stop lights, brakes and head
lights. While lights are important
to seeing and avoiding hazard,
brakes are probably the most I'M
portant safety item. One out of
six defective cars had brake
trouble.
Brakes should take hold prompt
ly and stop the car Immediately.
Grabbing or uneven brakes may
cause the car to swerve or skid
into an accident. But while brakes
stop the wheels, it takes good
tires to stop the car. Good seeing
conditions and good brakes will go
far to make your summer driving
a safe pleasure.
The annual Car Safety Check by
Police Departments, Sheriffs and
the Ohio Highway Patrol will be-
gin June 1st. But it is not neces-
sary to wait until them to have
your car checked. Many garages
