with his ministers on reducing
Greece's military conscription Pc

treaty nations contented them
selevs with IL months to two
years service.
Belgium recently cut her con-
scription period from two years
to 81 months. France and Italy

His Role in 6. O. P.
Campaign Drive
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Aug. Ex-senator
Taft of Ohio said today he prob
ably will meet with Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower shortly after Sep
tember 10 to discuss the Senator's
role in the Republican presidential
campaign.
Senator Taft said by tele-
phone from his Murray Bay,
(Canada.) vacation spot that he
expects to speak for Gen. Eisen-
hover and the Republican ticket
but doesn't know yet how extensive
his campaigning will be.
The Ohio Senator was defeated
for the G.. o. P. nomination by
Gen. Eisenhower in a bitter bat
tie at the Chicago convention in
July. There have been some re-
ports that Senator Taft, although
he promised support of the ticket
after the convention,
might not take an active part in
the campaign.
Won't Hit "Whistle Stops"
The Ohio Senator made it clear
that he is prepared to take the
stump for Gen. Eisenhower but
he added he will not engage in
any "whistle-stop" campaigning.
Il shall certainly make some
speeches in Ohio" Senator Taft
said. II have a dozen or SO in
vitations to speak in Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, but I have put
off accepting any of them until
some definite arrangements are
made"
The Senator said he wants to
discuss with Gen. Eisenhower the
issues of the campaign, adding
that he is interested in what the
new administration is going to be
like if the general is elected"
This was interpreted as a de-
sire by Senator Taft to have Gen.

Probers Charqe
Pro-Reds Lead
Radio Writers
Senators Emphasize
Majority Is Opposed
To Communism
By Robert K. Walsh

A faction with Communist lean.
ings controls the governing body
of the Radio Writers Guild and
holds a strategic position, which
eventually could make television
watchers see red, a Senate SUBJ
committee declared today.
The Internal Security Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee released the first in
stallment of testimony it took at
closed hearings between April,
1851, and last April.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Eastland, Democrat, Of
Mississippi and including Senators
McCarran. Democrat, Of Nevada
and Watkins. Republican. Of Utah,
is exploring subversive infiltration
Of radio, TV and the entertain
ment industry.
The Guild denied the charges.
Testimony published today con-
Germs the Radio Writers Guild. q
branch of the Authors League Of
America. The guild has between
200 and $500 members who
write most of the programs heard
over national radio networks.
Members also write for the Voice
of America and for the United
Nations Radio Section.
Most Members Anti Communist.
The subcommittee emphasized
that a large majority of the guild
membership is anti-Communist.
But the council of the guild.
which is the governing body. is
controlled by the prof. Communist
faction. which has aligned the
guild in support of Communist
organizations and causes" the
subcommittee said.
Senator McCarran, in a separate
statement, had a special warning
for the televiSion industry to "keep
its house clean"
Those who are responsible for
it's Development he said, must
also accept responsibility for its
character and the type of pro-
grams 1t channels into the homes
of America.
| 1--WE found, strategically placed
to take advantage of television's
progress, persons who refused to
say. under oath, whether or not
they belonged to the Communist
Party but who were described by
other persons, under oath, az
either Communists or very active
pro- Communists.
Entertainment Susceptible.
"In straight news coverage. such
as that Of the national political
conventions. there is little oppor-
tunity for subversive influences to
work. However, the entertain
ment programs which, after all.
provide the bulk of television Of
ferings, are very susceptible in
this respect"
The Nevada Senator. who ID
Judiciary Committee chairman,
said there is a strong possibility
that the Radio Writer'S Guild will
obtain jurisdiction over the tele-
vision writer's.
Several witnesses at the closed
hearings testified that q small
group of Communists and pro-
Communists seized control of the
guild in 1943 at the direction Of
Alexander Trachtenberg, the Conn
munist propaganda chief.

|month-old oil row.

Henderson and British Charge
Id'Affaires George Middleton con-
ferred with Mossadeeh for 3 hours
today in what the informants
here described as the weightiest
Western bid to end the deadlock
Iyet made.
Pledges u. s. Aid.
The informants gave this ac-
count:
Mr.. Henderson told Mossadegf
the United States is ready to
pitch in several million dollars
worth Of aid to tide Iran over
her immediate economic difficult
tiles.
Mr.. Middleton indicated Britain
lis prepared to enter direct talks
on the vital question of compen-
sation for the estimated SIS bill
lion oil industry built up by the
government controlled Anglo
Iranian Oil Co. which Iran ma
tionalized last year.
British willingness to relax the
blockade on the Iranian oil in
dustry as part Of a general set
tlement also was indicated by
Mr.. Middleton.
Could Sell Stored Oil.
A move of this sort would en-
able Iran to earn between 80 and
40 million dollars quickly by sell
ing the 2 million tons of oil and
Oil products now stored in Aba
dams huge tanks.
Britain in the past has claimed
this stored oil to be the property
Of the Anglo -Iranian company.
The joint Anglo-American ap-
proach followed intensive talks
between London and Washington
on the explosive Iranian situation.
Those talks were said to have pro-
duced an nglo-American under
standing that Mossadegh must be
supported in Office as being the
best available way of avoiding a
Communist coup.

day adopted a resolution demand
ing the dismissal of Secretary of
State Dean Acheson and "those
in his department found wanting
in the proper activation of their
duty to their country"

voice vote, the resolution declared
that the State Department re-
quires new and stalwart leaders"
and asserted "our patience is ex-
hausted. We demand immediate
attention to this all-important
subject. We accept nothing less"
Proposal Is Cheered.
Last year in Miami the Legion
adopted a resolution regarding
the State Department. It called
for the immediate removal of
the present corps of leaders whose
every action has reflected incom-
potency, indecision and defeat
ism"
The report was submitted by the
foreign relations committee of the
Legion, and was read to the con-
vention by Chairman Rogers Kel-
ley of Edinburg. Tex.
When Mr.. Kelley read the SEN
tence demanding dismissal of the
Secretary Of State. applause and
cheers rose throughout the Madi-
son Square Garden auditorium.
The report dealing with foreign
affairs characterized the United
Nations as ineffective as an in
Strument for world peace"
Urge Life Sentences.
Earlier, the Legion urged life
imprisonment for persons caught a
third time illegally possessing or
peddling narcotics.
The resolution proposed that
persons convicted of illegally SELL
ing or possessing narcotics should
be punished with a $4,000 fine and
a maximum of 10 years in jail on
a first conviction: $4,000 fine and
Imprisonment up to 20 years on a
second conviction, and $4,000
fine and life Imprisonment for q
third conviction.
Health Insurance Hit.
DR.. Louis H, Bauer, president of
the American Medical Association,
appealed for Legion support in the
ANA fight against national health
insurance.
He bitterly attacked the ad-
ministration, complaining that
'paternalism is the order Of the
day In Government circles" and
taxes have become confiscatory. I"
Gen. Lemuel c. Shepherd, jr.,
commandant of the United States
Marine Corps, told the Legion
naires there is nothing small
about the Korean war" He
credited the vitality Of the Marine
Corps Reserve as largely respon-
sible for ACCOMPLISHING "the i'm
possible feat" of the buildup Of
strength early in the Korean war.
Deputy Secretary of Defense
William c. Foster told the Legion
that the recent steel strike caused
the Nation "a more damaging in
jury than an enemy nation could
have inflicted upon US in the same
time"
A monumental task" has been
accomplished in unifying the
armed forces, he said.

Louisionon Apologies
For Previous Support, but
Still Will Vote Democrat.
BY the Asseeioted Press

Senator Ellender, peppery Lou
isiana Democrat. announced with
some heat today that he will re-
fuse to campaign for his party's
presidential nominee, Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson.
However, while he said he finds
himself "apologizing" for previous
support Of Gov. Stevenson, Sen
ator Ellender said he would vote
the straight Democratic ticket on
election day.
Senator Ellender told a reporter
he sees in recent statement by
Gov. Stevenson "a drift toward
the policies Of President Truman
which have been so unpopular in
the South"
He cited the Stevenson declara-
ton of last Saturday that he
backed Mr.. Truman's veto of
bill designed to reverse Supreme
Court ruling upholding the Gov
ernment's paramount rights" to
rich submerged oil lands lying
along the shores of coastal States.
Charges Reversal.
The States claim paramount
rights to this wealth and Senator
Ellender said he had assured
Louisiana constituents that Gov.
Stevenson felt the same way.

face and I find myself apologize
ing for believing his statements
that he is a States Rights man."
Senator Ellender said.
Four of Louisiana's 10 presi-
dental electors, pledged to- Mr..
Stevenson. have resigned in pro-
test against his stand on the
tidelands issue. They will be re-
placed by others.
Senator Ellender predicted "a
lot of stay-aways"-both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans-from the
presidential ballot boxes on elec-
ton day and he suggested this
could reach proportions having
an important bearing on the out
come.
Sees G. o. r. Opposition.
The Senator said he views the
proposal by Col. Robert r. Nc
Cormick, Chicago publisher, of q
new .American Party" as just one
of many signs that "disgruntled
Midwesterners just don't want
Eisenhower" and don't like his
foreign policies.
Senator Ellender emphasized
that for his own part "I'1l vote
for the Democratic ticket, includ-
ing Stevenson, because I won't
carry the Democrats label as a
Senator and vote for the Repub-
ihcans.
But I'm not going to talk In
