Truman Returns to Capital n
After Promising Peace to Asia

Pacific trip to meet Gen. Mac
Arthur was nothing but politics.
"The public" Mr.. Gabrielson
declared. will judge President
Truman's speech and his spectacu-
lar trip to Wake Island for what
it is-politics.
Criticizes Generalities.
IF, as the speech said, Mr.. Tru-
man sought Gen. Macarthur S
views on peace in the Pacific, what
are they?"
The Republican chairman criti-
cized Mr.. Truman for not speak
ing specifically about problems of
Formosa, Indo-China and the
seating of Communist China in
the United Nations, and added
that the gag" is tighter than the
one Mr.. Truman tried to impose
when Gen. Macarthur sent his
views on Formosa to Veterans OF
Fireign Wars convention two
months ago.
Vice President Barkley retorted
in a Denver speech that Republi-
cans have been demanding that
Mr.. Truman confer with Gen
Macarthur and now that he goes
out to the Pacific and meets him
it becomes a cheap political trick
Denies Mystery in Talk.
Mr.. Truman scoffed at specu-
lation about his talk with Gen.
Macarthur and said there is
really no mystery about it,"
He said he arranged the talk
because the general has informa-
ton at his fingertips which can
be of help to all of us in deciding
upon the right policies In these
critical times" He added:
Il went out to Wake Island to
see Gen. Macarthur because
did not want to take him far
away from Korea, where he is
conducting very important opera
tionS with great success. Events
are moving swiftly over there
now, and I did not feel he should
be away from his post too long" "

Of Negroes
By Colleges May End
This Year, Ewing Says

Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing today predicted
this may we'll be the final year of
exclusion of Negroes from Ameri-
can universities.
Mr.. Ewing addressed session
of presidents of Negro Land Grant
Colleges at the Federal Security
Building.
Scarcely a month passes with
out some tangible reminder from
our courts that discriminatory
practices in the colleges and uni
versities must end" Mr.. Ewing
told the conference.
THE year 1850 may we'll have
heard the death knell for second
class citizenship in Americas in
stitutions of higher education.
Il for one hope so. for otherwise
we are playing right into the
hands of democracy's enemies.
Every injustice committed here in
the United States against racial
or religious groups becomes grist
to the Communist propaganda
mill"
Other speakers warned the con-
ference that Negro educators must
not permit the States to set up
fake" colleges under the pretense
of giving equality.
DR.. D. o. w. Holmes, 72-year-
old president emeritus of Balti-
more's Morgan College for Ne
groes, declared:
Since the Supreme Court de-
cisions. the States have become
more willing to give Negro colleges
money. But it would cost Mary
land, for example, 81 million to
build an agriculture school for
Negroes equal to that already
operated for white students"
The veteran educator told his
colleagues:
I'VE must not let any one palm
of on us fake law schools, medi-
Cal schools, engineering schools
with the pretense that they would
provide equal education"
DR.. Holmes told the college presi-
dents yesterday he was not ready
to predict complete integration of
whites and Negroes in education
by the end of the century. but
that he could not say it was an
lmpossibility after the changes he
had seen since 1900.
r. B. Atwood, president of the
Kentucky State College (Negro)
at Frankfort. read from the re-
port made in 1916 by Thomas
Jesse Jones. an educational expert
on Negro education. Mr.. Jones
reported then that only IL stu.
dents were getting education On

Land Grant Colleges. Most Of
them were getting elementary ed.
ucation, he reported, and a small

Defense Officials Seek
Way TO DovetaiI UNIT
With Regular Draft
By John A. Giles

Defense officials are going for
ward with plans to seek passage
of universal military training
again in January but they have
not solved the thorny problem of
how to doVetail it into the present
draft law system, it was learned
today.
Last August former Secretary
Louis Johnson sought immediate
passage of UNIT but President
Truman decided against pressing
for it at that time on the grounds
that it might jeopardize legislation
necessary for prosecution of the
Korean war. Mr.. Truman, who
has asked for UNIT four times in
the past, indicated that he would
again seek its passage early next
year.
Now studies at the Pentagon
seek to determine:
/. The exact date, in view of
international developments, such
a system should become operative
2. Whether and how UNIT
should replace the draft system.
No Directive Received.
While there is some talk in the
Pentagon of one universal mill
tary service law" to blend uni
versal military training and Selec-
tive Service into one bill, it is
now considered more likely that
the two systems will be dove
tailed and that the draft eventu-
ally will gradually disappear.
Defense officials have not re-
ceived any directive from Mr.
Truman as to how to proceed.
obviously, it would not be
feasible to set a certain date at
which time the draft should be
discontinued and UNIT take over"
one official said. "A force of 3
million plus could not be main
tanned if that took place because
of the hiatus between the two
systems.
UNIT would not provide men
Immediately. 1t may be feasible
to fade Selective Service out as
UNIT gets operating, but that is
a question yet to be solved"
Million Men Covered.
Defense officials have told the
Senate Armed Services Committee
that a full scale UNIT program
could provide at least 5 million
trained men between the ages of
19 and 26. Under a bill introduced
this year trainees ordinarily would
serve one year between the ages
OF 18 and 20. The years training
would be divided into six months
of basic training, plus six months
in assigned reserve or regular
armed service units.
Following the training periods, /
presumably sufficient numbers
would join the regular forces to
meet attrition. thus eliminating
the necessity of the draft. How
ever, this point is one which is
now under study and no decision
on 1t has been reached.
One of the principal points of |
argument on Capitol Hill this year
was upon proposal to give the /
President authority to decide
when the program would start.

Birmingham Anfi-Red Law
Overruled by U. 5. Judge
By the Associoted Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 18.-
Federal Judge Seybourn H. Lynne
today ruled Birmingham's Anti
Communist law unconstitutional.
The judge gave this decision on
the plea OF Sam J. Hall, secretary
of the Communist Party in Ala
bama, who attacked validity of
an ordinance prohibiting Commu-
nistS from remaining in the city.
Judge Lynne ruled that the
ordinance violated the 14th
Amendment. An attorney for Mr..
Hall had argued that it was con-
trary to the due process of law"
clause in that amendment, in
that it deprived Mr.. Hall of the
right to live in his Birmingham
home.
The judge enjoined Birming-
ham authorities from enforcing
the anti-Red ban.
The legislation provided a max
imum sentence of 180 days in jail
and $100 fine for each day a
known Communist remained in
Birmingham.

House Authorizes
S11.5 Million FSA
Building for Area
By Harold B. Rogers

The House e-passed bill to bring
the Bureau of Old Age and Sur
vivors' Insurance from Baltimore
to the Washington area today was
headed for consideration by the
Senate Public Works Committee.
Approved by the House late
yesterday, the measure would pro-
vide for construction Of a new
building for the bureau lin or
near the District" at q cost not
to exceed $11.5 million.
The legislation would transfer
about 5000 Federal jobs from
Baltimore to this community.
Prospects are that an additional
1000 or $500 more jobs would
be added to the bureau by pending
legislation for expansion Of the
social security law.
Opposition Expressed.
The only opposition to the bill
during debate on the House floor
came from Democratic Repre-
sentatives Fallon and Bolton, both
Of Maryland. They insisted a new
building should be constructed In
the Baltimore area.
Mr.. Fallon's amendment to
place the new structure near Balti-
more instead of in this area was
defeated by voice vote after con-
siderable debate. The House also
rejected second Fallon amend
ment, which would have placed
the building somewhere between
the District and Baltimore.
Representatives Of seven Silver
Spring citizens associations voted
unanimously last night to invite
the FSA to locate its bureau in
suburban Montgomery County.
