|Conferees Expected
To Revise Internmenf
Plan in Anti-Red Bill
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

Drastic revision of the intern
ment camp provisions of the SEN
ate's anti-Comunist bill appeared
likely today.
Authority for the Government
to intern dangerous Reds in time
OF war, invasion or insurrection
was written into the Senate bill
but is not part Of the separate
measure passed by the House.
Senate and House conferees,
trying to work out compromise
legislation, were ready to resume
their job today after their first
session broke up last night with
out an agreement.
Senator McCarran, Democrat.
OF Nevada, chairman of the group,
predicted that 1t would take only
about three more hours to get a
measure in shape for final action
by both branches Of Congress.
What will happen to the legisla-
tion once it is sent to President
Truman is question.
Require Registration.
Both the House and Senate
versions require the registration
| Of Communists and Communist
front organizations, and Mr.. Tru-
man has said he feared this might
lmperil the rights Of loyal citi-
ZenS.
At his news conference yester-
day, however, he said he would
not give his views on the legisla-
ton until Congress has completed
action on it.
But he previously had said he
would not sign the Senate bill as
it stood. That was before its
amendment to provide for the
internment of subversives.
The fight for the internment
plan, originally proposed by Sen
ator Kilgore, Democrat, of West
Virginia, was taken up by Senate
Majority Leader Lucas and
adopted by the Senate after it
had been modified to meet OBJ
jections that it was unconsti.
tutional.
Members of the Conference
Committee who were unwilling to
be quoted by name said, how
ever, that the House conferees
were strongly opposed to this part
of the Senate bill.
May Be Stripped Down.
i These reports indicated that
the provision might be stripped
down simply to authorize the
President to suspend writs of
habeas corpus in time of inva-
sion, insurrection or rebellion.
A writ of habeas corpus Is q
court order to bring an impris-
oned person before a judge and
determine whether he is being
lawfully held.
The Constitution provides for
suspension of such writs when re-
quired by the public safety, but
legislators said there is some ques.
ton whether the President can
legally exercise this power without
action by Congress.

WAGE BOARD EMPLOYEES
The convention also went on rec
ord in favor of standardizing the

The convention urged Congress
to place Collectors of Internal Rev

In another action. placing un-

urged by the convention. The
resolution referred to new agen-

ing and evening session.
Undersecretary of Navy Dar
Kimball will address the conven-
ton today before it continues the
consideration of the many reso-
lutionS still before it.
An interesting sidelight of the
convention is the spirited battle
going on between delegates from
Dallas and Detroit to get the

are angling for the 1852 con-
vention, but the choice seems tc

Reds Are Revealed
Planning Fall Moves
In Fronee and Italy
BY Paul 6holi
Foreign Correspondent of The stur and
the Chieoqo Daily News

PARIS, Sept. 15.-In line with
the Kremlin pattern for Europe
as revealed by unirapeachab>e re
ports received here from under
the iron curtain-the Commu-
nistS are already on the move in
France.
French workers are being
warmed up for an autumn explo-
sion of strikes and disorders far
bigger and of much wider impli-
cation than anything yet seen in
this country.
The government left the door
wide open for the Reds when it
failed to disturb French Commu-
mist cells when it carried out its
Mide-scale roundup of foreign
Communists fortnight ago.
Moreover, it's action in aireSting
only foreign agents presented
Communist propaganda witA' one
more argument against it-politi-
cal intolerance.
Strike Policy Set.
The first stage of the Kremlin
plan for this autumn is to bring
the fall of both Premier Rene
Pleven in France and Premier
Alcide De Gasperi in Italy through
a Nation-w wide policy of strikes
Communist moves here are sub
terranean and Communist mass
meetings, in Paris suburbs and
Frances principal industrial
towns, are all that is noticeable
on the surface.
Each French Communist leader
is canvassing a part of the coun-
try trying to arouse popular feel
ing against the United States and
the Pleven government. Party
Leader Maurice Thorez, for ex-
ample, has been entrusted with
Southeast France, a destitute part
of the country always verging on
extreme political creeds.
Actions Synchronized.
The Communist action is subtly
synchronized with identical moves
in Italy tending to bring North
Italian industrial centers to a
complete work stoppage by mid
November.
Energetic Italian Interior Min
lister Mario Scelba, who has one
of the best political police forces
ON the continent, hopes to coun-
ter this movement through the
organization Of a national civic
guard.
Here in France there is a SIM
liar scheme under government
consideration but nothing is ex-
pected to materialize for months.
Communist action in France this
fall is based on three main propa-
ganda themes:
/. Premier Pleven's decision to
extend military service from one
year to 18 months. The Commu-
|nists hold this the first tangible
effect on this nation Of President
Truman war policy.
Price Rises Cited.
2. Rising prices due, according
to the Reds, to rearmament ex-
penses. During the last month
prices of meat. butter. cheese. gas
electricity and rents have in
creased from 10 to 20 per cent.
3. Continued low wages, which
make the working class unable
to cope with the mounting prices.
Instead of forcing employers to
discuss the matter Of wages with
their workers, as Leon Blum did
in 1886, the government has
passed law making these direct
conversations possible but not
compulsory.
The three propaganda points
Of the French Communists are
dangerously popular among the
masses of this country.

cred in Rockville today to cele-
brate the first anniversary of the
county's new form of government
The committee is paying trib-
ute to all seven members of the
first County Council. but, inevita-
bly,, attention centers on Frederic
P. Lee, the president.
At the helm during the forma-
tive stages of the government
Fred Lee has had a guiding hand
in many changes of the last IL
months. Furthermore. he will pro-
vide the leadership for the pro-
gram ahead. Mr.. Lee is the en-
bodiment of the charter move
ment.
Even Foes Doff Hats.
Even the professional politicians
who fought the charters adoption
are doffing their hats because of
his record. The politicians admit
Mr.. Lee is not helping the pros
poets for party comebacks.
They credit him with unusual
of knowledge, extensive
abilities and integrity of purpose.
Like Mr.. Lees fellow councilmen,
the party workers marvel at his
capacity for work. They say he
devotes unlimited time to county
affairs despite the demands on
a senior partner in a large law
firm, a college trustee and a
leader in numerous professional

Mr.. Truman set this goal last
night in a brief, extemporaneous
talk to representatives of the Fed
eral Reserve System at a private
dinner. The transcript of his re-
marks was released later by the
White House.
The Chief Executive gave no hint
of when he expects to relinquiSh
his duties as head of the greatest
Government in the history of the
world" nor did he discuss his tax
plans-an item of particular in
terest in financial circles.
Jokingly he told his audience
that one reason for his presence
was to show that I do not wear
horns and I haven't a tall am
just an ordinary citizen of this
great republic of ours who has

His audience included chairinen
