House Majority Leader
Halleck said today he'd like
for Congress to order a gen.

"I'll vote for a bill to throw
them all out. They were

Mr.. Halleck said the Re-

some nourishment.
The Pope's trouble in keeping
down food has caused anxiety.
To help maintain his strength,
he has been fed intravenously.

The Rome newspaper II Tempo
said the Pope, the spiritual leader
of 400 million Roman Catholics
throughout the world, had not
left his bed in his third floor
apartment in the Vatican palace
since he was stricken January Is.
He tried to rise once or twice,
the newspaper said, but was too
feeble to do so.
Prof. Galeazzi-Lisi, in issuing
yesterday the first bulletin he
had ever released on the Pope's
health. revealed a hope that it
would be possible soon to repeat
particular X-ray examinations"
of the stomach and other nearby
organs. Vatican sources said
the pontiff's inability to retain
the fluid necessary to make the
X-rayS had baked the earlier
efforts.
Prof. Galeazzi-Lisi hurried to
the pontiff's bedside early this
morning. He had left at 10 pm.
last night to get some sleep.

Throughout the night. DR..
Paul Niehans, a Swiss specialist
in disorders and diseases of the
aged. apparently remained in
the Pope's apartment. The desk
attendant at his Rome hotel said
the doctor had been away from
his room there all night. DR..
Niehans is noted for many oper-

and research on glandular dis

Another physician, called in
yesterday. is a noted Italian
general practitioner, DR.. Cesare

In st. Peters Basilica, Ro-
mans and pilgrims from other
cities prayed for the Pope and
around the world, millions also
were praying for his recovery.
Worried inquiries poured into
the Vatican from many lands.

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Secretary of
State Dulles has decided to ask
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov to use his influence with
the Chinese Communists in an
effort to break the Panmunjom
deadlock on a Korean peace
conference.
Mr.. Dulles will make his move
in Big -Four secret talks here
Monday.
At that time the question of
Korea is to be brought up among
the foreign ministers in connec-
ton with a Soviet proposal for
Big Five conference. including
Communist China.
The United States position,
diplomatic informants said, is
that the American Government
will categorically reject any
f1ve-power conference which is
of such a character as to recog-
nize the Chinese Communist re-
gime as one Of the great powers.
But it is willing to deal with Red
China on specific and limited
issues which can only be handled
In that way.

The Metropolitan Police De-

may not be able to carry around
in their heads all the complex
details of the Legion's big con-
vention. has issued special infor-
nation pamphlets to all uni

It is the first convention that
ever called for such treatment,
the police say.
Each policeman is getting
two information bulletins. One,
printed by the Legion, shows
where each State delegation will
stay while here. The other
bulletin. printed by the Police
Department. shows the time and
place Of all major convention
events, bus, streetcar and traffic
changes on parade day and the
location of f1rst-aid and comfort

Early Birds Flock
To Register for
Legion Convention

Early birds began arriving in
stable numbers today for the
American Legion convention and
accounted for heavy business as
registration opened throughout
town.
The booths were set up in no.
tells, transportation terminals,
department and drugstores and
at nearby Legion post headquar-
tiers.
At the nerve center of the OPP
eration-1420 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. N.W.-workers were rushing
about, ricocheting off walls and
furniture, trying to get the ear
of Edward S. Davis, executive di-
rector of the National Registra-
ton Committee.
Mr.. Davis, one of the busiest
men in Washington, was deal
ing with minor crises in person
and by phone.
1.-THE Willard Hotel says they
don't have any registration
kits" a worker declared. Mr..
Davis dispatched two men to
carry the kits across the street.
1--WE got you two strong
backed boys" said another
helper.
Good" said Mr.. Davis. Tell
'em to load up the car and take
that stuff out to Kensington."
MY wife asked me If she
could have dinner with me Sum
day, that's how bad it u.s."
mourned one man to another.
Imagine having to make an
appointment from your own
wife" L Is
Registrations are running far
ahead of what the Legion ex-
pected. Mr.. Davis said. A total
figure is unavailable but reports
are expected from the newly
opened booths and from depart
ment adiutants across the coun-
try.
IF you think this is bad" Mr..
Davis said, holding the phone
off the hook, wait till Saturday
and Sunday"
At the Willard and Washing
ton Hotels, several registrants
had lined up, waiting for the
kits to arrive. When the chance
came to put down his SO. each
got an 8la by II inch manila
envelope containing:
Three maps of Washington, a
convention badge, a welcoming
letter from Police Chief Robert
V. Murray, a convention pro-
gram, a book of tickets to Legion
events. a handful of advertise
ments, a cardboard fan and a
package of Bromo Settler.

however, goes into effect only
after all court proceedings are
completed. Thus the Justice De-
partment can not force registra-
ton of any Red until probably
the Supreme Court decides on
constitutionality Of the 1850 act.
In the meanwhile, the Justice
Department is keeping on hand
big supply Of registration
blanks. They are available at
Room 1928 of the Justice De-
partment Building.
Nobody except the curious
have asked for the blanks. The
Justice Department expects
many a long month. or perhaps
years, to pass before any Com
munist registers-or goes to Jail
for failing to do so.
The OUTLAW" section of the
new anti-Communist law thus
adds up to little that will bring
immediate action. But there is
a section in the law that is ex-
pected to bring Government
moves against some labor unions
within a few months.
This section of the law is an
amendment to the Internal Sc
curity Act of 1850. It makes
labor unions subject to CLASH
f1cations under the act as Com
munist inf1ltrated.
The Justice Department is ex-
pected to cite a number of labor
unions as Communist infiltrated.
Such citations will go before
the Subversives Activities Con-
troll Board.
If the board finds that a labor
union is observation-disclosures
the courts sustain the decision
the unions officers would be re-
quired to register. And the union
would lose its rights under the
Federal labor laws. But that day
Is a long way of.
The most immediate effect Of
the new Communist control law
is expected to come in the fall
political campaigns when every
Congressman who voted for the
act can proclaim that he Is q
violent anti-Communist.
