Truman Raves At IsOlatiOnists

Aboard Truman Train, (P) - President Truman declared yes terday that the decision the United States make in the months ahead will determine whether there will be a third world war"
 In talk to a train side crowd at Galesburg, Ill, the President assailed "iSolationists" who would 'let the rest of the world be swal- lowed up by communism"
 These men, MT. Truman assert ed, cannot "see beyond their noses" and forget "the terrible price" this country would have to pay for such a course"
 "TheSe same men who tel you we should economize by an isola- tionist policy" he said, "did the same thing after World War One and brought on World War Two"
 The President, travelling in cam paign style through the midwest on his 66th birthday, led news men on their toughest walk to date at Chicago yesterday.
 It was 6 a.m., Chicago time when the Presidents train reached the Rockwell yards.

Statehood Is
 Indispensable" Says Gruening

PHILADELPHIA, CP)- Cover nor Ernest Gruening of Alaska said Wednesday that Statehood is indispensable for the progress and development of Alaska"
 Gov. Gruening brought his plea for Alaskan statehood to Philadel- phia in an appearance before the Women'S Television Club.
 The Governor said a populated, thriving, strong Alaska as our northern and western rampant cannot be achieved under Terri toriality." He pointed out that Alaska is the "only part of the continent under the American flag which fronts the Arctic Ocean, one of the great airways of the future"
 Gov. Gruening said that from the defense standpoint alone, the nation would be immeasurably strengthened by having in the Halls of Congress two United States Senators and a Represen- tative with a vote intimately ia miliar with Alaska's vast terrain and it's immediate probabilities '

Rep. Young Hints
 U. $. Sank Red Sub

ASHIN GTON, 'CP) - Rep. Young D.-Ohio) suggested Mon day a United States warship may have engaged a strange subma- rine and sunk it with depth bombs"
 Asked about Rep. Young's statement, a navy spokesman said the navy has investigated all re- ports of foreign submarines in coastal waters and has yet to con- firm that submarine was actu- ally present in any case.
 The spokesman declined to make any further statement.
 Young's comments were in a prepared statement, which he elaborated orally to a reporter:
 "I didn't dream this. didn't get it out of my mind. But that's all I'll say further on the subject"
 Under a caption Soviet Union aggression" Young said that "War is being waged against us by the Soviet Union" and wrote crypti- cally:
 Submarines have been recon noitering our radar defenses in Alaska and further south on our West Coast. If it is a fact that one of our warships engaged a strange submarine and sunk it with depth bombs, a policy of silence is in contrast with Soviety policy"
 That was reference to Russian announcement of firing on an American plane which Moscow said was over Latvia. This coun- try in a counter protest said the plane was unarmed and over the open Baltic Sea. Ten Americans were lost and Young called them "war casualties" Young has been suggesting that the plane was on a reconnoitering mission tes { n g Russian radar defenses.
 "Are you talking of something you believe may have happened within the past six months?" re porter asked Young in reference to his mention of bombing sub marine.
 | He nodded his head affirma- lively but declined to talk about it.

Truman Gives "Folksy, lnfornal'' Talks, Speeches

CASPER, Wyo. (P)- President Truman pledged today a fight to push development of the west over the opposition of reaction ary forces" whoch he linked to the Teapot Dome" scandals which centered around an oil area north of here.
 The 13-car Presidential train pulled into this bustling center of Rocky Mountain oil activity short ly after am. And the chief ex- ecutive quickly was surrounded by a light-hearted crowd of chil- dren and adults as he took six block stroll through the streets.
 In his speech delivered here, MT. Truman blasted at privilege and greed" as the main obstacles to western development and point ed to the new Kortes Dam, 60 miles south of here, as an example of government enterprise which will be a source of wealth and strength for the people of the world"
 The President scoffed at those who cry socialism" and regimen tation" at such government efforts toward water and land resource development.
 He was met at the station by two of his World War One com panions, Gilbert 'Houseley, an auto dealer, and James F. Hook, state director of veterans employment. Mir. Truman served with these men when he was lieutenant in the 18th Field Artillery and they matched his old army pace of 120 steps minute in a walk through clear, brisk air.
 This struck the same informal folksy note that marked the prog ress through Nebraska where he told an agriculture minded audi ence at Lincoln that the contro- versial Grammar farm plan would help assure "peace ad prosperity for ourselves and the world" Throughout the day, he contin- , ued to talk to large and apparent ly happy trackside crowds in the same chatty, neighborly fashion that marked his successful vote appeal in 1948.

Eugene Dennis Ordered To Jail Immediately

WASHINGTON, (P)-Commun- ist leader Eugene Dennis today was ordered to jail immediately for contempt of Congress in 1947.
 Federal judge David A. Pine di- rected that Dennis, secretary gen. eral of the American communist party, start at once to serve one year prison sentence.
 Dennis had asked the court to delay the commitment until June p. On that date the court of ap- peals in New York is scheduled to hear an appeal by Dennis and 10 other communists convicted of conspiring to advocate the over throw of the government.
 In 1947, Dennis was convicted by federal court here on charges of contempt growing out of his re- fusal to testify before the House Un-American Activities commit tee.
 Dennis appealed the conviction. The Supreme Court upheld it last May 1.
 While the appeal in the con tempt case was pending, the gov- ernment had brought the case against Dennis and 10 other com munist leaders in New York.
 Dennis was given a five-year sentence on his conviction in New York. He is free under bond pend ing hearing of the appeal.
 Dennis acted as his own attor- ney in the New York case. Joseph Forer, his attorney in the con- tempt case, argued to Judge Pine that Dennis should have chance to prepare his appeal in the New York case and for that reason should not go to jail now.
 Forer said it would be unfair to commit Dennis now because o1 the fact that he will represent himself.
 Judge Pine told him:
 ''If I followed your suggestion a criminal could stay out of jail for ever by committing another crime and then representing him. self"

At St. Lawrence University he was state collegiate champion in his favorite sport of wrestling. His acting was learned the hard way by attendance at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, his tui- tion earned by bell-hopping and as waiter in various Schrafft's res taurants in New York. In Champion" Douglas plays the , role of a ruthless fighter who de- stroys everyone who stands in his way as he climbs to the top of the fight game. It is not pleasant role, but it is dramatic.
