COLD WAR;:
New Peace Terms

Observers are speculating over
so-called cold war peace terms
reportedly acceptable to the Rus
slams which include a demand that
the United States cease helping to
re-arm western Europe.
1t was an ironic demand because
at the same time the Soviet agreed
to recognize the Atlantic pact as a
legitimate regional defense group
under the terms Of the United Ma
ions charter.
1t is this pact that pledges the
western nations to mutual aid.
The Soviet also had three de-
mands on the Far East:
() Elimination from the United
Nations of the representatives Of
Generalissimo Chang Kai Shek's
government.
(2) Acceptance by the western
powers of the Russian "gold ruble"
as the basic currency for China's
foreign trade.
(3) Soviet participation in the
conclusion Of a peace treaty with
Japan which would guarantee the
latter country what Moscow con-
siders to be political freedom"
In the European field, the Soviet
had four rather vague offers:
(D Unificatlon Of Germany with
in the framework of the Potsdam
agreement.
(2) Naturalization of Germany.
(3) Withdrawal of all occupation
al forces from Germany.
(4) General reduction Of arma-
ments and armies, including the
abandonment of conscription.
Observers did not believe the
terms would be attractive enough
to bring about any settlement of
differences between the East and
the West Russia, as usual, wants
a great deal but is vague about
tangible returns.

HUNGARY:
Demands Ransom

The custom of blackmail, ram
som and intrigue so often employed
by the Nazis in the reign of terror
over Europe, has put in a more
obvious appearance under the Com
munists.
Hungary has demanded the an
cient crown of st. Stephen as ram
som for Robert A. Vogeler, i'm
prisoned American businessman.
According to reports from Eu-
rope, Hungarian Communists have
offered to swap Vogeler for the 1000
year-old crown which is the symbol
Of Magyar royalty.
: The crown was taken from Hun
gary by the Nazis and later found
by the American troops in Ger
many.

Kindness Rewarded

A poorly dressed man was stand
ing in front of a vacant store build
ing, and from her window above
the store woman noticed that
several people stopped, in passing
and gave him some money. 1t was
a scene that touched her deeply.
She wrote on a piece of paper,
"Take Courage" placed the paper
in an envelope with a two-dollar
bill and tossed it to the man.
Several days later, when she was
returning from an out of town
visit, she was accosted by the man,
who said:
Here's your $50, lady. Take
Courage won at 26 to l."

agreed upon a six-month extension
Of federal controls and another six

DEFICIT:
At 3.8 Billion

The administration has predicted
a SIS, 100000 deficit by the end of
the fiscal year June 80, but shortly
before the deadline it appeared the
amount would be well under the
estimate.
A $773, ,625, 900 interest payment
on the national debt boosted the
deficit to $3,887 $780, 1000. The pay
ment was made two weeks before
the end of the fiscal year.

Borden Expected to Succeed LesinsH

A man Of strong conviction but
.easy-going temperament, Mr.. Bar
den is completing Is years in
Congress and is unopposed for
another term. He was chairman
Of the old House Education Com
mittee before it was merged with
the Labor Committee by the con-
gressional reorganization.
Mr.. Barden was not expected to
make any new effort to push aid
to education through Congress
this session In the event he takes
over.
It would not be practical" at
this late date, he told the Asso-
ciated Press by telephone from his
home in New Bern, N. c.
Further, he said. he has no in
tention of "ram-rodding" legisla-
ton through the committee. His
primary concern, should he be-
come chairman, is to work amica-
bly, with committee members, he
said.
In that respect, Mr.. Barden's s
leadership might prove effective
in breaking the committee dead
lock which virtually stalemated
major legislation this session.
Lively feuds have disrupted
much Of the committees work.
Among the sharpest clashes have
been Mr.. Lesinski's repeated tits
with Mr.. Jacobs.
Lesinski Father of Seven.
Mr.. Lesinski made news head
lines recently when he killed an
investigation of John L. Lewis
conduct of last winters soft coal
strike. He withdrew the power
to subpoena witnesses from
the investigating subcommittee,
headed by Mr.. Jacobs. The Jacobs
committee had been re-instated
by vote of the full committee after
Chairman Lesinski abolished it
last September while Mr.. Jacobs
was investigating the tangled
financial affairs of the AFL Print
ing Pressmen's Union.
Mr.. Lesinski had been married
three times. His first wife, Stella,
died in 1919 and his second wife,
Barbara. in 1887. He married the
present Mrs. Lesinski in 1898.
The Representative was the
father Of seven children. Born In
Erie, Pa, he came to Detroit as
child. His election to Congress
followed business success.

Two Texas Negroes
Complain Of Race Bal
Al Democrats Dinner
BY The kssoeicted Press

HOUSTON. Tex. May 27.-Two
Houston Negroes today protested
to National Democratic Party Of
ficials because they were refused
tickets to tonight's Jefferson-Jack-
son dinner at Austin.
Vice President Barkley, one of
the three party leaders to whom
the protests were directed, was
principal speaker at the dinner.
Mr.. Barkley had a terse no
comment" to reporters when he
stopped here this afternoon en-
route by plane from Washington
to Austin.
"I've heard nothing about it,"
he said when asked about the pro-
test.
Carter Wesley, publisher of the
Houston Informer, Negro news
paper. said checks sent by himself
and Hobart Taylor, also of Hous-
ton, were returned by Tom Miller,
general finance chairman for the
Democratic Party in Texas and
former Austin mayor.
Mr.. Wesley said about 500 Texas
Negroes received invitations to the
dinner, a fund-raising affair for
the party. He said he and Mr..
Taylor each contributed $500 to
the party's 1948 campaign fund.
Protest Sent to Boyle.
He said the protests were sent

cratic Executive Committee, and
Representative Dawson of Illinois.

1--WE are not protesting at being
excluded from sitting at the same
tables as white people," Mr.. Wes-
ley said. "We simply feel that
since we have contributed to the
party and worked for it as mem
bers the occasion should be one
which we could attend If they
were going to give a dinner then
they should have arranged a sepa-
rate table at one end of the hall
for U.S."
Mr.. Miller in a letter to Mr..
Taylor said:
Perhaps we should give more
consideration in the years to come
about having dinners for money
raising purposes as long as the
Negro Democrats are not full par
Elephants and do not have a full
invitation to these parties. Per-
haps these dinners should be aban-
doned in the best interest of the

Representative Barden, Demo-
crat, Of North Carolina, is ex-
pected to succeed to the chair
manship of the House Education
and Labor Committee made vacant
by the sudden death early yester-
day of Representative John Lesin-
ski, Democrat. of Michigan.
Mr.. Barden, who frequently diff
fered sharply with Mr.. Lesinski
over such issues as Federal aid to
parochial schools, is the ranking
majority member of the commit
tee. Under House seniority rules
he can take over the committee
chair if he wants it.
Mr.. Lesinski, a veteran of Ia
years in Congress, died of heart
attack at his Dearborn, Mich,
home. He had left Washington
only Friday for a short visit home
His wife. Estelle, found him dead
in bed. He was IS.
In private life the head of a
lumber company, Mr.. LesinSki was
swept into Office first in 1882 with
the Roosevelt New Deal. Always
the champion of the rights of Or
ganiZed labor, he was elected to
nine successive terms largely by
the labor vote in his highly indus
trialized district. He had planned
to run for another term this fall.
Fought for Taft-Hartley Repeal.
Named chairman of the Labor
Committee when the 81st Con-
gress first assembled in January,
l949. Mr.. Lesinski led the ad-
ministration's unsuccessful fight
in the House to repeal the Taft
Hartley labor law.
Mr.. Lesinski, a Catholic, was
a leading figure in the fight over
getting a $500 million school
aid bill out Of the Labor Com
mittee and to the House floor.
The issue was over whether paro-
chial schools should share in the
program. In the controversy he
was vociferously opposed not only
by Mr.. Barden but by Represent
ative Jacobs, Democrat, of In
diana, who also is a Catholic.
In many respects, Mr.. Barden
will be the anthithesis of Mr..
Lesinski as chairman of the Labor
and Education Committee.
Mr.. Lesinski fought Taft-Hart-
ley-which labor unions dislike
intensely-and led the House bat
tie for it's repeal. Mr.. Barden
voted for the law, and played a key
part last session in the defeat of
the repeal proposal.

Senate Leaders Agree
To Fight for More
Liberal Social Security

Administration leaders have de.
cided to make a fight in the Sen
ate for a more liberal Social Sc
curity bill than the Finance Com.
mittee approved.
Majority Leader Lucas of Hi.
nois, and Senator Myers of Penn
sylvania. the Democratic whip
have reserved the right to support
floor amendments going beyond
the committee bill in these re.
spects:
/. A higher wage base for com.
putting taxes and benefits. Present
law uses the first $4,000 of annua
wages. President Truman recon.
mended $4,000. The House adopt.
ed $4,000. The Senate COMMITTEES
liberalized old-age retiremen
benefits, but went back to tn,
existing $4,000 base.
2. Permanent and total disabil'
ity insurance for workers who be.
come incapacitated before reach
acted shrd shr shr Shrd oshrdll
ing retirement age. The HOUSE
added this new feature to the
pending bill, but the Senate Com.
mittee left it out.
Hopes for Debate This Week.
3. Retention of the provision ir
present law, in the House bill, by
which an individuals insurance
benefit is increased by fixed per-
centage increment for each year
he contributes to the fund.
Chairman George Of the Senate
Finance Committee, in charge OF
the bill, said he hopes to get the
Senate debate started by the end
of this week, or early next week
Senator George said the main
fight will be over the $4,000 wage
base. He said there is a good
deal of sentiment" for raising il
to the $500 level in the House
bill, and indicated he believes that
may be the figure finally agreed
on.
The Georgia Senator pointed
out that computing the tax and
benefits on the first $500 of
wages would produce a pension of
$50 month at the age of IS, as
compared with $72 under the
$4,000 base in the committee bill.
10 Million Persons Added.
AS to embarking into the new
field of Federal pensions for dis
ability, Senator George said he is
personally willing to support
Federal grants to the States to
help them start pension systems
for the disabled, but he does not
think it should be made a part of
the Federal old-age retirement
plan at this time. He indicated
not enough is known about what
the extent or cost of such pen
sions would be.
The Social Security bill adds
about 10 million persons to the
IS million already covered by the
old-age retirement system. II
raises the primary monthly pen
sion payments from $40 to $25 a
month in the lowest bracket, and
from the present maximum of $45
to $72.
In addition to these payments
for the individual. there are sup
Elementary benefits for a wife
and children. The maximum
family allowance under the bill
is $3.50 a month.
The Senate is expected to pass
the bill about June Is, after which
a joint conference committee will
be appointed to iron out differ
ences with the House.
This is one of the few social
welfare measures likely to become
law before this sessions of Con-
gress ends.
