Seek Cause Of
 US. Protection Of "VOice of China"
By B. l.. Livingstone L

WASHINGTON, (P) - House spy hunters dug deeper Thursday into why the State Department gave protection to an American publication in Shanghai despite Chinese charges it was a Commu- hist front.
 A mystery witness" identified only as M. L. Appelman of Den yer, Colo, was scheduled to ap- pear before the un-American Ac- tivities Committee in it's inveSti- gation of Max and Grace Granich.
 The Granichs, who edited "Voice of China" in Shanghai in 1936-37 before being forced to sus- pend, are said to be living now at Wilmington, Vt. They have been summoned to appear next week.
 They have denied they were Communists when asked by con- sular authorities.
 The committee heard testimony Wednesday that the State Depart ment intervened to, protect "Voice of China" after Chinese authorities, twice confiscated is- sues. and US. consular authori- ties refused to go to Granich's aid.
 Surprise witness was John Car ter Vincent, now State Depart ment representative at Tangiers, Morocco, who said he drafted in- structions to protest the seizures.
 Vincent is to appear next week before the Senate Internal Secur- ity Committee Investigating the State Department. He has also come under fire in attacks by Senator Mccarthy R-Wis) on State Department security risks.
 Vincent testified he drafted the protest instructions to Shanghai consular officials on the purely legal grounds" that confiscation of Granich's paper was an "un- warranted invasion of American jurisdiction" over American prop erty in the international settle ment of Shanghai.

Congress Asks For
 Economy In Reply To Truman Speech

WASHINGTON, P)-An cleo ton year Congress responded with demands for economy and no more taxes Thursday to Pres ident Truman's State of the Union appeal for a broad program of foreign aid and domestic spend ing.
 Lawmakers gave signs they will support a speed-up in efforts to increase American military might
 But the Republicans and south ern Democrats who can muster a majority of both houses ap- peared determined to hack down the amount of foreign aid and to scuttle many of the presidents domestic Social Security propos- als.
 They had some packers among administration supporters for their economy -and-no-more-taxes movement.
 MT. Truman called on Congress Wednesday to meet the "very real" threat of World War III by bolstering the free nations of Eur ope and Asia with more economic and military aid.
 The president proposed, among other things, an increase in the size of the US. armed forces; an expansion of Point Four" aid abroad to combat stomach Con- munism"; tougher imitation con- trols and a list of domestic well fare measures including defense housing, labor law revisions, aid to education, medical care, strong CT farm price supports and a $5 a month boost in Social Security benefits.
 Senator Mcfarland of Arizona, the Democratic lea der, Wa S pleased that MT. Truman called for an increase in the size of the Air Force and stepped up defense production.
 Sen. Edwin C. Johnson O-Colo), who doesn't always agree with MT. Truman, called it lone of the presidents better speeches."
 Republicans pounded the point that MT. Truman made no men, ton of economics. Senator Ives R-NY said the message showed practically no concern over the actual economic welfare of the country"

DALLAS, Texas-(INS) - Dick
Burnett, Owner Of the Dallas
Eagles said Saturday that he is in
favor of allowing Negro baseball
players to play in the Texas
League.
"If we are able to find player
eapable of playing Texas League
ball and can make our club, we
are ready to sign him up" Bur
nett stated
No Negro player has ever been
signed by a Texas League Club but
several played in the West Texas
New Mexico loop last season.
Other club owners in the Texas
League also indicated that they are
willing to use Negro players il
some other club does it first.
''In view of the fact that Dallas
now is member of the National
Football League and has several
Negro players on the squad il
would appear that the color line
has has been broken" Burnett
said.
