Truman Unlikely to Aid
Candidates, Lucas Says
BY the Associoted Press

The serious international Situa-
ton may keep President Truman
from campaigning for fellow Dem
ocrats this fall. Senate Majority
Leader Lucas said last night.
II doubt seriously if the Pres
ident will have time if the situa-
ton remains as serious as it is
today, Senator Lucas said on the
Mutual Broadcasting System
program Reporters Roundup" !"
Senator Lucas also said he didn't
believe Mr.. Truman would discuss
price, wage and rationing controls
in his fireSide talk to the Nation
tomorrow.
II do not believe controls on
prices, wages and rationing are
needed now" Senator Lucas said,
"and I don't believe the President
will introduce price controls in
his message to the Nation"

Another argument set forth by
those who are trying to explain
the State Departments position
on acceptance of the Chinese
Reds in the U. NJ, is that by our
accepting the inevitable" Mos
COW may be placated and con-
ceivably may order the Korean
puppets to stop their present hos
tilities.
This argument is disproved by
military men here and in Tokyo.
The Kremlin cannot afford such
loss of face. It's representatives
at the United Nations have gone
on record as opposing any solu-
ton short of withdrawal of
United Nations forces. Military
operations in Korea are progress
ing favorably for the Reds and
they have gathered sufficient
masses Of reserves behind the
front to convince them that
their campaign to free" the
South Koreans will succeed, re-
gardless of how many North
Koreans, Manchurians and Chi
nese Communists are killed.
Diplomats converSant with the
Kremlin's political strategy say
that If the Russians really had
meant to force our hand on the
matter of seating the Chinese
Communists in the U. NJ, they
had only to say that our con-
tinued refusal to do so would
mean war in Korea. The Ameri-
can Government would have been
only too glad to accept their de-
n1ands and could have explained
to the people that the addition
of the Chinese Communists to

An angry man. the Secretary
then launched an offensive which
not only demolished the jerry
built Schoeppel case but put the
Senator so thoroughly on the de-
fensive that his Republican COL
leagues are now apologizing for
him. Mr.. Chapman, normally so
agreeable, harpooned hfs accuser
repeatedly. finally daring him to
change places and repeat under
oath but without congressional
immunity the speech he had
made on the Senate floor. Sem
ator Schoeppel did not move nor
speak.
The coup de grace was admin
istered by Secretary of the SEN
ate Biff1e. He testified that SEN
ators. including. of course, Mr.
Schoeppel, took the ceremonial
oath in public and signed the
loyalty oath separately. exactly
as Secretary Chapman did. Sen
ator Schoeppel had made much
of Chapman's being sworn in in
this manner, limiting 1t made him

A strong fishy odor, salmon to
be exact. surrounds the sorry epi-
sode. Statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii is near, thanks to the de-
voted efforts of Mr.. Chapman
among others. Their bitterest
opposition has come from the
Alaska salmon industry. All other
arguments having failed, the
charge of communism against
statehood advocates is now being
tried.

spicuously not planted-indeed it
could not have been-on recla-

together with their constituents,

wanted some of that publicity

some politicians, including his
very junior colleague, Senator

appointment. But Senator Darby

One thing Senator Schoeppel
did prove: The big lie technique
is not for SiSsies. The Kansar

The divided country whose con-
quest represents decisive victory in
the West. for one camp or the
other, is Germany If Germany
were possessed by a central Eura-
sian land power seeking universal
empire, the whole European Pc
ninsula would fall. In control of

to the West could strangle Europe
economically. arm soldierly ma
ton of 100000 and create a
solid military empire from the
Yellow Sea to Bordeaux. Great
Britain would then be a hostage
to perfected German V-weapons

icas isolated and reduced to the
status of unimportant islands.
With Germany possessed (and
armed by the West, the Atlantic
nations would hold defensive

outposts.
In Germany, therefore, Russia
and the Atlantic powers stand in
"a position from which neither

retreat. The forcing of the issue
there must, therefore, mean gen.

That the Russians, under exist

Eight guests at the unions cele-

Flaming fluid was hurled across

The victims included SOME of

Both were in hospitals today
along with others Scorched by

Circuit Judge Ira w. Jayne was
burned in eXtinguishing a blaze

time in a seventh-floor room of

The "cafe diablo"-known also
as devils coffee"-is a burning
brew of coffee and liquor.
From a great glass punch bowl
between two arms of the U-shaped
banquet table the brew was al
ready giving out a gentle blue
flame. Brandy was being poured
into it.

Wider Naturalization
Pledged by Laborites
fRe-eIected in Britain
BY the Associcied Press

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-prime Min
lister Attlee's Labor Party today
promised to keep Britain on it's
Socialist course with new ma
tionalization of industry and con-
tinued rationing and price con-
trols-if Laborites retain power in
the February % elections.
The pledges were made in a
6,000-word manifesto containing
the campaign platform of the So
cialist-minded Labor Party.
Principal aim of the Labor pro-
gram. said the manifesto, was full
employment.
The policy declaration sharply
raped Winston Churchill's Con-
servative Party. which is bidding
for reinstatement on the promise
of steering the country out of So
cialist waters back to free enter
prise.

The Laborites said their fight
was directly against the Conserva-
tives and against the "unemploy-
ment. strife and economic confu-
sion which would inevitably result
from the Conservative wish to let
things rip
Thus the party in power had
fired the opening big gun in what
promises to be one of the most
crucial POLITICAL battles in recent
British history.
The Conservatives big blast is
expected next week with the issu-
ance of similar policy manifesto.

at his London house yesterday to

Conservative reaction to the
Labor manifesto was typified by
Lord Rothermere's London Daily
Mail. which called it a blank
check on Naturalization"
Would Nationalize Cement.
The Laborites have promised to
continue their Socialist program,
already well on it's way with ma
tionalization of major industries
in the five postwar years of Labor
rule.
To consolidate state ownership
and round out the picture of
Socialist aims, the party now
promises to take over the cement
industry. sugar refining, water
works, meat slaughtering, and cold
storage plants. It also said it
would keep an eye on certain por-
tionS of the chemical industry
and take them over if 1t were in
the national interest to do so.
