O'Conor Hits Allied Trade
With Chinese Communists

NEW YORK. Feb. II (P).-Sen-
ator O'Conor. Democrat. of Mary
land, toniught cried shame" at
Britain and other Atlantic Pact
nations which still trade with
Communist China and keep up
diplomatic relations with the Reds
"It is inconceivable," he de-
clared in a prepared speech, that
nations tied to us by covenants
of solemn pact should under
mine our joint cause by inde-
fensible tactics of this nature"
Our own Government has not
been blameless," Senator O'Conor
said, recalling testimony before
a special Senate investigating sub
committee which he heads that
war-useful materials were shipped
to China in American ships until
q couple of mouths ago.
But our Wesvern Europe allies
have continued this nefarious
practice" the Senator continued.
From Great Britain have gone
and are going large shipments of
war-useful supplies to Red China.
And from their Far-Eastern out
posts and from Malaga, ships are
now plowing through the ocean
bound for the country of our con-
tinually avowed enemy"
Senator O'Conor addressed the
first national defense rally Of the
American Coalition of Patriotic
Societies.

on Gen. Collins, Army Chief OF
Staff, for a talk.
Gen. Collins said the name
came from the nickname by which
Gen. Walker was known in Ko-
rea - THE Little Bulldog" - and
added it was a fitting tribute to
the bulldog tactics 'Johnny' Wal
ker followed in Korea"
The Aberdeen trip was the first
of the sort the President has
taken since the Korean fighting
started, but he said in his lunch
con talk that he hoped to follow
it with others.
Guided Missile Tests Explained.
|. The President saw some labora-
tory work in the course of his
visit, and learned something about
the high cost of preparedness
from DR.. l.. A. Del Sasso, ballis-
tics scientist. who told about ex-
periments with guided missiles
and said that each test costs from
$4,000 to 100000. The White
Sands proving ground in New
Mexico, and a second site in Flor
ida are now being used for the
experiments.
The Presidents laboratory tour
also brought him up against the
'Eniac"-electronic numerical in
tegrater and computer-a robot
which speedily works out mathe-
matical firing data that would
keep an expert puzzled for hours
The President jokingly called il
"the machine that agrees with

For Mr.. Truman's benefit, TAI
took aim on test tank, 800 yards
away in the haze, and scored a

The President also saw-and

1t. William r. Gelbanks, of New

planned it to the President, and
said studies now are under way

maneuvers by behemoths able to
travel so miles an hour; navigate
waterways, partly submerged. and
cut through mud and over twist
ing hills with the same ease with
which they move over highways.
Used to carry loads up to TO-
900 pounds, tanks and troops, some
of the details of the trucks still

Only 20 Billions Of Budget
Justified, Bridges Declares
By The Associated Press

CLAREMONT, N. H, Feb. IT,
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, said today that
President Truman has sent Con-
gress "justifications for only 20
billion dollars out of the total of
II billion asked in the budget.
Because of this, Senator Bridges
said in a prepared Lincoln Day
speech, "the Senate has not been
able to even begin consideration"
of the budget for the fiscal year
beginning next July /.
THE military side of the budget
is not untouchable," he said. IF
the American people are to be
expected to pay the highest taxes
In their history and if the cost
of living is constantly to continue
to skyrocket under the feeble con-
trolls of the President has be-
latedly ordered, then 1t is time

gram. They say they fear any
other course would lead to con-
scription of labor.
Another step described as neces-
sary to peace would be a change
in the wage control formula. The
union official said that there was
no great objection to the 10 per
cent increase figure, but that the
formula diScriminates against
workers who have been tagging
behind in the matter of wage. in
creases since the end of World
War II.
The formula would allow a 10
per cent wage increase in the
period since January Is, 1850. 1t
would apply to those unions like
the United Mine Workers who
have led the wage-increase parade
as well as those that have NOT
been SO successful in getting pay
boosts. The union officer said the
formula must be adjusted so that
it would be fair" to the latter
groups of workers.
Federal officials were working
hard over the week end to close
the breach in relations with the
unions. They hoped things could
be worked out so that the labor
members would return to the wage
board.
The motion that all labor rep
resentation be withdrawn from
the defense effort was made at
the committee meeting Friday by
Walter P. Reuther, head of the
CIO United Auto Workers. The
committee decided to postpone ac-
tion on the motion after more
than an hour of heated debate.
There are labor representatives

Arundel Hinchcliffe, %, on charges
lof passport fraud and held him
under $500 bond. It was an un-
happy landing for Hinchcliffe,
who married a stenographer at
| the Norwegian Embassy here two
days before they both sailed for
Norway.
Warrant Issued.
In Arlington, William Badanes
l25, of 1880 Colonial Terrace, was
told that a warrant charging con-
spiracy had been issued for him
in New York.
Badanes surrendered at the
United States marshals Office and
was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Cyril S. Law
renee.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Stanley D. Robinson said in
New York that the strange mi.-up
began last September when Hinch-
cliffe, son of an International Ref
ugee Organization official. applied
for passport at the State Depart
ment.
Although he had been issued a
passport on another occasion, the
State Department denied this one
while the FBI investigated Hinch-
cliffe.
That was where Badanes, CT
student, came into the picture
Mr.. Robinson said. In October
the Arlington man got a passport
of his own, and turned it over to
Hinchcliffe for an October "a
sailing.
Then the tall. dark Badanes and
his fairer companion went to a
Washington beauty shop. They
explained that, since they were
going with twin girls, they'd like
to look alike.
Got Hair Dye.
Mr.. Robinson said the remodel
ing job included a hair dye for
Hinchcliffe. altered eyebrows and
trimmed moustache.
| Meanwhile, Hinchcliffe met q
very pretty young girl who worked
at the Norwegian Embassy. She
was known as a dependable type
not easily swept off her feet, but
those who knew Hinchcliffe said
he had winning ways-somethine
of an intellectual who could quote
freely from the best literature.
The girl was going back to Nor
way anyway. where her father has
an important position, and had
made her plans a month before
she met Hinchcliffe. A week after
they met they were engaged, and
three weeks later-two days before
the sailing-they were married.
Mrs. Hinchcliffe was not held
by authorities, and remained In
Norway.
The FBI said yesterday that the
case belonged to the State Depart
ment. 1t was learned that Hinch-
cliffe's investigation had no po-
| litical implications.

abroad, of the racial practices of
our fighting forces. 1t revealed
that full indignation of Negro and
white personnel promised soon to

vealed all too plainly that the

A number Of legal voting curbs
were passed, although the effect
Of such laws adopted by Georgia

were made by Negroes in Florida,

THE year 1850 and particularly
its last six months revealed a
marked change from the encour-

1948 and 1949 had noted. The
country has been concerned with

dcms and rights which alone make
that defense meaningful and
