Special Session on Initiation
Opposed byLeoding Democrats

tends a cabinet meeting at the
White House Tuesday.
One Democrat who didn't want
to be quoted by name told a re-
porter he believes a special session
might be embarrassing to Gov
Stevenson. since the latter ap-
parently is attempting to avoid
too close an identification with
the Truman administration.
Republicans have made it clear
they would use the forum of a
special session to launch all-out
attacks on the President and the
Democratic nominee.
And because it is in numbers
a Democratic Congress, Mr.. Tru-
man hardly could blame the law
makers for failing to act effec-
lively to curb the rising cost of
living without putting that blame
primarily on his own party rather
than on the minority Republi-
cans.
Senator O'Mahoney said he
thinks there undoubtedly is going
to be some further increase in
the cost of living. He added:
But I doubt it will be of such
in the next three
months as to make 1t advisable

on new imitation controls.
Senator O'Mahoney. chairman
Of the Senate-House Economic
Committee, told a reporter he
thinks such action at this time
would be futile.

said he believes the Government
ought to watch the cost of living
like a hawk" but he indicated he
doesn't think lawmakers are in
the frame of mind now to return
to Washington and act on a new
controls law.
Republicans generally were in

statement that he has a special
session call under consideration as
something Of q political harrass-

The spearheads of nearly 3O0,-
600 well-armed troops face each
other across the Greek Bulgarian
border, where a skirmish was
fought yesterday for an outpost.
Greek and Bulgarian soldiers
have been mobilized along the
border for years. Both sides are
ready to fight.
The SkirmiSh was over tiny
Gamma Island in the Evros River,
which forms the border. The
Greeks. who claim the island. said
Bulgarians had invaded it, and
opened a mortar attack to drive
them back.
Any clash between these hostile
neighbors could have serious po-
tentialities. They form one part
of an uneasy line stretching from
the Mediterranean to the North
Sea. Behind them are the massed
forces of the West and East.
Major Conflict Up to Kremlin.
But most American officials in
Europe believe a border incident
would mushroom into major con-
flict only when the Kremlin de-
cides on a bigger gamble than it
has taken so far.
Nevertheless. the incident high
lights the status of the explosive
Balkans where the first shots of
World War ! were fired almost 40
years ago.
Greece. one of the newest mem
bers of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), is one of
Russia's veteran opponents in the
global hot-cold war.
The Greeks fought and won q
bitter campaign against Commu-
mist guerrillas, ending in 1949, in
one of the first battles against
Communist expansion.
Greeks Getting U. s. Arms.
The United States since 1947
has supplied arms and training
to build a modern Greek army.
This force totals around 10 divi-
sions, nearly 10000 men-with
supporting air and naval units.
The Greeks generally are well
equipped, but they are short of
heavy guns and aircraft. Picked

Moreover, he said, by direction
Of the President the Defense De-

flor Democratic nominee Adlai

Lovett said he had not yet been
invited and indicated a lack of
knowledge Of the event.
DepIores NATO Reports. &
Mr.. Lovett also:
/. Deplored what he termed ex-
travagant reports emanating from
abroad that the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization will not meet
its goal this year. He said he had
no information that the composite
Western Europe defense force
would fall short and added that
there could be no authoritative
report until a scheduled review of
the situation.
2. Stated that any feeling that
Russia may not attack in the near
future should be attributed to a
large extent to the deterrent of q
growing Western defense force.
8. Declared that this country
cannot undertake to meet French
budgetary deficits when there is
no congressional authorization,
4. Asserted there had been no
recent consideration of the use of
atomic weapons in Korea because
tnelr use would be improbable
and unnecessary.
Steel Setback Cited.
5. Reported that effects of the
recent steel strike would begin to
show up in military production
this month on short lead-time
items. Three hundred contractors
have been knocked out as q re-
suit.
6. Said he did not expect any
substantial change in the size of
the 81 million defense force in
the next fiscal year.
/ MIR. Lovett spent a great portion
OF his time in dealing with the
recent reports with reference to
NATO which have emanated
principally from London and
Paris.
He termed some of the state
ments in recent radio broadcasts
as irresponsible. pointing out that
one such boardcast mentioned
406 divisions had once been
PLANNED for NATO. He said that
no one had ever seen or heard of
such a figure until the broadcast.
