Steve Makes Most
OF an Opportunity
By G. (. ButterfieId
NEW YORK.

Steve Allen, the West Coast
funny man brought East by CHS
in the hope he had the makings
of another Arthur Godfrey. finally
has been given an opportunity to
show what he really can do.
They've let him go the merry way
by which he gained so much at
tention at Los Angeles.
All summer Steve has been
running a radio series five nights
a week under the blanket label of
the "Steve Allen Show" It has
no particular formal outside of it's
principal. He sometimes Identifies
it as a mystery program"
"The mystery isis it q pro-
Igram?" he adds.
UnrehearSed, the series is a sort
of open house originated from a
Broadway theater. Studio guests
come and go without tickets. Allen
spills a steady flow of ad-libs
as he interviews celebrities and
others. He has an unrestrained
approach.
Much of his broadcast takes
place in the studio audience as
he chats with any one willing to
respond. The spontaneity gen.
orally is productive of some pretty
funny stuff.
It has been more than a year
since Allen came East. He was
given all sorts of opportunities,
first in TV, then radio, to catch
on. He subbed for Godfrey in
the Talent Scouts, he had a day.
time TV show Of his own. he was
NC of "Songs for Sale" on both
radio-TV and so on. None of
these vehicles seemed to fit, al
though he did fairly we'll in all.

morning broadcaster? Thus the
decision to let Allen go back to
his own methods without any help
from the Broadway experts.
The result is that the summer
run is to be expanded into q regu-
lar. Steve viii continue through
September at about the same
schedule. In October the plan Is
to switch him to a Saturday night
operation. He also has been sup
plying an alternate-week summer
TV show.
What's the Allen reaction to all
this? Its fun," he says.

Peace Outlook Better ,
Truman Says, Urging
Day Of Prayer May 80
BY the Associated Press

President Truman said in a
Memorial Day statement yesterday
that he believes enduring peace is
more nearly attainable this year
than it was a year ago.
His statement read:
Memorial Day has been tradi-
Itionally a day of prayer for those
Americans who have died in the
defense Of their country. On May
%. 1850, pursuant to a joint reso-
luton of the Congress, I pro-
claimed each succeeding Memorial
Day as day of prayer for perma-
|nent peace. and suggested II
O'Clock in the morning, EST, as
AN appropriate time for each
American, according to his own
religious faith, to beg divine aid
in bringing enduring peace to a
troubled world.
Il believe that%this year endur-
ing peace is more nearly attain
able than year ago. This is SO
because our strength and the
strength of other free nations has
steadily grown. Our strength and
determination to remain free are
leading to peace.
ION this Memorial Day we
should again pay tribute to the
men who. by their supreme sacri-
flee, have helped maintain our
freedom in the rugged hills of
Korea and, before that, in the
great wars when all mankind was
Threatened with enslavement. We
should pay tribute to them espe-
Icially because they have shown
that aggression cannot pay off
They have thereby given the world
Ia vision and promise of lasting
peace. We must not let these men
down now that the goal is so
nearly attainable.
Il have asked before, and I ask
again, that the press. radio, tele-
vision and other media of public
information help unite the Nation
on the morning of Memorial Day
in a universal prayer for perma-
lnent peace"

On New Red Offensive
By the Associated Press

The United States has tipped
off its 16 Allies in Korea that the
Communists might be planning a
new offensive.
The State Department disclosed
late yesterday that it circulated
a warning 10 days ago against the
possibility of renewed Commu-
mist aggression" The ION guard

tions members helping in the
Korean fight.

ments for a German peace con-
tract for German participation in

Philippines about new Communist
aggression in the Far East. Presi-
dent Elpidio Quirino of the Philip
pines had told reporters his gov
ernment received such a warning

President Quirino was referring to
a statement which had been made
recently in Washington (May 13)
to the representatives of all ma
tions participating in the U. N. ac.
tion in Korea about the Commun-
1st buildup in North Korea an6
their capabilities for renewed Of

Veterans Pension Bill
Signed by President

President Truman yesterday
signed veterans pension legisla-
ton which, he said, would ulti-
mately cost at least $400 million
a year.
The President was particularly
critical of the non-Service-con-
nected pensions describing these
provisions as bad legislation.
He said he would not have signed
the measure, if the veterans and
their dependents had any other
practical means Of meeting ad-
vancing living costs.
Calling on Congress to make a
broad study of the whole pension
system, Mr.. Truman insisted that
veterans with non-service-con-
nected disabilities should be on
the same basis as the non-veteran
population.
The legislation consisted of two
bills providing these increases:
/. For veterans with service
connected disabilities, Is per cent
to those rated so per cent or more
disabled, per cent to those 10
to 49 per cent disabled; Is ger
cent to veterans widows with
children where death was due to
service connected disabilities; So
monthly to World War ! and II
and Korea veterans whose dis
abilities are not service-connected,
50 to such of these requiring iul1-
time care of another person.
2. Ceilings on income limits

Injected disability and death bene-
fits are cut OF, from $1,000 to

Ipendents and from So, 500 to $2,-

In Washington State
For "a Delegates
BY the Associated Press

SPOKANE, Wash, May PA
bitter fight for Washington's "a
National Republican Convention
delegates opened today with sup
porters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, apparently in control,
claiming he'll win as many as %.
| There was open talk of a pos
sible walkout at the State conven-
ton by some forces favoring Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft. They strongly
oppose the unit rule that binds the
big 291-vote King County (Seattle)
delegation to vote as the majority
decide.
Eisenhower followers are in con.
troll of the King group and the
delegation could swing the con-
ventien.
The Taft camp, claiming the
Ohio Senator will get majority
of the "a votes for the party's
presidential nomination, won a
temporary victory last night in
efforts to break the unit rule.
They elected their man as
chairman of the rules and order
committee which decided to rec
ommend that county delegations
cannot vote the unit rule. The
Eisenhower group said it would
introduce and pass a motion to
reverse the committee ruling on
the convention floor.
The walkout, if it came, would
mean that Taft forces question
the legality of the unit rule and
would hold their convention and
elect their own 24-delegate slate.
The convention warmed up to
it climax today by rival banquets
last night in the Davenport Hotel.
Retired Gen. Albert c. Wedemey-
er, National Citizens for Taft
chairman, spoke at one. Harold

the Presidential nomination, ad-
