BY the Associated Press

The State Department has

block action to force the release
of Associated Press Correspondent
William N. Oats in Commu-
mist Czechoslovakia, the National
Labor Management Council on
Foreign Trade charged yesterday
Mr.. Oats has been imprisoned
on spying charges denounced as
farce by the United States.
Congressmen and others have de-
manded that the United States
halt trade relations with the
Czechs in a move to force his
release.
o. R. Strackbein, chairman Of
the council, said in radio speech
the State Department has sur
rendered its power to act on the
issue.
He referred to an international
agreement on tariffs and trade
negotiated in 1947. Under this
agreement, he said, the United
States entered into trade agree
ments with Czechoslokakia even
after that country went behind
the Iron Curtain"
Now, he continued, the Czech
trade agreement cannot be can
celled because the 1947 pact pro-
vides for cancellation only after
approval by other contracting
parties in the international agree
ment.
There you have it. We are no
longer free to act alone" Mr.
Strackbein said.

can, of Ohio has set a complete
housekeeping in Washington as

1T is hopeless to expect hon.

brought to Massachusetts,.
On foreign affairs, Senator Taft
said that the lone danger facing
America is that we undertake
more than our capacity" and he

Alien influences Here
Blamed by Pastor for
Decline in Morals

A Washington minister yester-
day placed the blame for the be-
ginning of a decline in moral
standards here on the shoulders of
embassy personnel and other
foreigners.
DR.. Ira S. Ernst told his congre-
cation at the Evangelical United
Brethren Church, 170O North Cap
itol street, that decline in virtue
here began during prohibition
when liquor flowed freely in sew
eral embassies"
One thing led to another, one
American Puritan custom tumbled
after another, he said, until a
wholly new system of morality
replaced American ways.
Mirthful Sunday DepIored.
A loud and mirthful European
Sunday began to replace the
Puritanized Sabbath, until gam
bling became fashionable, night
clubs lured husbands and wives
and degeneration appeared, he
charged.
Even Washington residents who
had not stopped to harmful prac-
tlces themselves, he said, acquired
careless attitude toward vice.
We should not smile or tolerate
evils brought in here from foreign
places" he told his congregation.
The men and women of Wash
ngton, in failing to associate
themselves with church life, are
being sacrificed on the altar of
greed, graft and gold, of fur coats
and deep freezers, he said.
Sees American Life Threatened,
DR.. Ernst said that Washing
ton could be a pretty wonderful
clty-without sin" if it weren't
for its moral atmosphere. He
charged that increasing corrup-
ton in the District and other
teeming cities is threatening the
American way of life.
There are plenty of perils here
from hoodlumS and gangsters. -
he said, but the perils that lurk
in the moral atmosphere are far
more dangerous"
The moral degradation of
character tends to break down
home and church life and the
moral life of the Nation" he
added. B

Republicans Say 'Smeors'
Come From Democrats
BY the Associated Press

Several Republican Senators as
serted today that President Tru-
man must share the blame for
what he said was a flood of lies
and SANDER" pouring forth over
the country.
Senator Young, Republican. of
N. Oak. told a reporter if it is
true, as Mr.. Truman said at
Detroit Saturday, that the people
are being confused by the
smearers and slanderers. the
Democratic administration has
contributed to this state of affairs.
The President has got the best
smear experts in the country at
his command" Senator Young
commented.
Senator Carlson, Republican, of
Kans. said Mr.. Truman's state
ments about Lies" and fear cam
paignS" indicate to him the Presi-
dent is getting ready to run again.
That's the kind of campaign
he conducted in 1948," Senator
Carlson commented.
Mr.. Truman spoke out against
those he said were using the
smear and the big lie for personal
publicity and partisan advantage"
in the course of a speech urging
the country not to let down its
military preparedness efforts de-
spite any truce that might be
reached in Korea.
Like Senator Carlson, some
Democrats who asked not to be
identified by name, interpreted Mr.
Truman's Detroit talk as some
thing of an indication that he may
be thinking of running again. The
President started his 1948 cam
paign with a Labor Day speech in
Detroit.
They said the Presidents refer
ences to claimed Democratic &C
complishments in the fields of
social security, unemployment
compensation, agriculture and
public power-as well as his scott
ing that "all these howls about
bankruptcy are old Stuff''-had the
ring of campaign oratory.
