up the jack boot of Italy. Allied

how he was able to storm Axis

Hitler had forced Poles into his

The fight, more than a per-

Gen. Anders Tells Why
Red Chiefs Are Tourists

Gen. Wladyslaw Anders, father
lof Poland's expatriate army,
yesterday said Russia's leaders
are turning tourist to enhance
their waning prestige back home.
| The general, who took Monte
Casino in one of World War IFS
outstanding fights, left here yes
Iterday for a lecture tour. He
arrived Tuesday from his home
lin London.
| Gen. Anders is in the United
States for a month to address
meetings in Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia,
New York and Rochester.
| Several years ago there was
conjecture he might sound a
call to arms for the Free Poles
and march on Warsaw. But yes
terday he said this is time for
moral preSsures on Russia to
Hibernate Poland, rather than for
armed might.
Our hope is in the United
States" he said.
Gen. AnderS said the Kremlin
chiefs are not so sure of them
selves as they were when Stain
lived. They have found it nee
essary to destroy his image to
bolster their hold on their peo-l
Iple, he said. The Soviet leaders
are paying calls to other coun-
tries in order to be able to go
back home and boast about their
receptions and brag about what
big men they are, he said.

on his old comrade and COM

Drug Racket

PITTSBURGH. May S (R.-
Some 200 Federal narcotics
agents and city police staged
raids in Pittsburgh's Hill district
and two other sections last night
in a breakdown on dope traffic.
Similar raids. but on a smaller
scale, were made in Steubenville,
Ohio, and Clarion, Pa.
Authorities reported 140 men
and women were arrested in the
raids with 20 being taken into
custody in Clarion and the bal
ance in Pittsburgh. At least SO

Roadblocks were set up around
the area and the district was
held in virtual isolation for sew
eral hours.
Also hit in Pittsburgh were

.ConfereesD Due
To Write Final
Road Bill Draft

A Conference Committee from
the House and Senate probably
will write the final draft of the
big highway bill, Senator Chavez.
Democrat of New Mexico, chair
man of the Senate Public Works
Committee, predicted today.
His committee paved the way
yesterday for a compromise by
deciding to substitute its own
bill, with one change, for the bill
the House passed last week.
AS the Senate bill was
amended yesterday, both houses
are now advocating a 13-year
program calling for $24,7 billion
of Federal funds to complete the
cross-country interstate system.
Yardsticks Different
But the two houses are pro-
posing different yardSticks for
apportioning the money among
the States. Senator Bush, Re-
publican of Connecticut, an
nounced he will renew in the
Senate the fight he lost in COM
mittee for the House formula.
based on the amount each State
needs to finish its part Of the
interstate system.
The Democrats are confident.
however, they will sustain the
Senate formula, which is in
existing law, distributing the in
terstate money according to pop
ulation, area and mileage of RID
routes.
New Taxes Needed
Before the bill goes to the
Senate it must stop in the FL
nance Committee for hearings on
the new taxes to finance the
enlarged highway program.
The House considered continu-
ing the program for Is years on
primary, secondary and urban
roads as well as on the inter-
state system. which would raise
the total outlay to $51.5 billion.
The Senate bill, however. con-
templates only a five-year pro-
gram on all except the inter-
state system, which holds the
Senate total to S36.,

.kefauver Bans
Force on South

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May
ZAP. - Senator Estes Kefauver
told a Florida audience that use
of troops to force the South to
accept indignation is "unthink-
able"
He said, however, the Supreme
Court decision banning segrega-
ton in the public schools is the
law of the land and. as Presi-
dent, he would be sworn to up
hold the law.
The Tennessee Democrat, seek
ing the Democratic presidential
nomination, made his remarks
last night as he wound up a five
day swing through North Florida
an area where Adlai Stevenson
is rated strong and where in
tegration is touchy issue.
AS he took off by private plane
for Indianapolis, Senator Ke-
fauver said he will return to
Florida May 20 and campaign
until May 90, date of the States
presidential preference primary
The primary will be the only
Ihead-on clash between Senator
Kefauver and Mr.. Stevenson in
the South. Twenty-eight ma
tional convention delegates are
at stake.
The candidate said he has
made gains" on his tour of
Florida and II feel L have
an even chance throughout the
State"
Senator Kefauver said in a
speech at nearby Jacksonville
Beach that he has been asked
repeatedly in Florida whether he
favors use of the military to en-
force the desegregation decision.
Il do not" he said. Its I'M
thinkable. 1t would set back all
progress we have made for gen.
erations."
The Supreme Court recognizes
and common sense recognizes, he
said, that each section of the Ma
ton has different problems and
the Supreme Court has given To-
cal courts and local school boards
lots of discretion" carrying out
the decree. He drew applause
from a crowd of about 200.

the State Supreme Court which
said only the Federal Govern
ment should convict a person for
sedition. When the State took
the case to the United States
Supreme Court the Pennsylvania
tribunals decision was upheld.
Said Gov. Shivers: IF the
States are all made entirely sub
servient to the Federal Govern
ment the Communists task
in seeking to undermine Amer
lean freedom will be much
easier"
Small Tax Share
The Texas Governor also said
the Federal Government receives
rs per cent of all taxes COL
lected. while the State govern
ments get little more than 1875
per cent.
Federal Government takes the
lions share of the tax revenue
needed to solve the problems
we face, then turns around and
tells us that we are not equipped
to solve the problems" he said
at the final session of the PBA
convention.
He also took a slap at Federal
aid to schools, saying: Federal
control is merely one of the evils
that accompany any Federal
handout :"

Stevenson Raps
Cabinetin Talk

SAN BERNARDINO, Calf, ;,
May S (R.-An aroused Adlai
Stevenson says the Eisenhower
administration is playing a
"stand-pat" poker game with the
Nations future but adds the
American people are preparing
to call the Republican bluff"
Mr.. Stevenson, sailing through
an intensive campaign for the
important June S California
presidential primary, hit the
Eisenhower cabinet in particular
in a biting speech last night.
Earlier he said President Eli
senhower was confused about
thermometer weapons develop
ment and characterized Vice
President Nixon as a political
"poisoner."
Raps Cabinet
The 1852 Democratic nominee
told an outdoor audience of 1900
that a meeting of the Eisenhower
cabinet was like a board of di-
rectors meeting. The cabinet
includes three representatives
of one corporation alone" he
said, land not one for the Is
million members of organized
labor"
He asked: who among the
businessmen lining this cabinet
are thinking about the IS million
children. The millions of old
people. The % million living
on farms?"
He said: Every man at this
cabinet table has boosted of
this Nations prosperity. Mean
while, 80 million people are hav-
ing to subsist on family incomes
OF less than $4,000"
Mr.. Stevenson quoted a finan-
.cial report that business has
slipped to the lowest point in
two years or more" and that "re-
tailers by the score are going
out of business" in "a hidden
recession"
Dangerous Poker
Under the Eisenhower admin
istration, as under the Harding
Coolidge and Hoover administra-
lions, no sign of forward looking
legislation whatsoever has
emerged" Mr.. Stevenson de-
clared. THE Republicans looked
at the cards that were dealt
them, grinned and stood pat.
But standing pat, with nothing
in your hand, is dangerous poker.
Somebody may call your bluff.
And that is what the Ameri-
can people are preparing to do
right now-call the Republican
bluff"
He also told audiences in On
tario, Fontana. Culver City, Haw-
thorne and Los Angeles:
1.-THE Democratic Party goes
into Office hopeful of what it
can do for the people. The Re-
publican Party goes into Office
fearful of what it may lose.
"Mr. Nixon has poisoned
four successive elections cam
paignS. He SANDERS and
impugns the motives, even the
loyalty. of those who oppose him
and his party. That distasteful
technique has worked three
times. 1t did not work in 1854
and 1T will not work in 1856"

Beall of Maryland also attested
to the personal and professional
character Of Mr.. Sobeloff and
said they were convinced that
Senator Johnston's complaint
had been thoroughly investigated
and found to be without sub
stance.
Judge Morris Soper, 83-year-
old member of the Fourth Cir
cult Court of Appeals, also as
sured the subcommittee that he

stances of the Baltimore case to

that organization unanimously
supports Mr.. Sobeloff for the
judgeship.
Similar Endorsement was given
by Howard C. Reigle. president of

Steve Ripley, Washington reporter, has
written the following article concerning
Robert T. Secrest, of Noble county,
popular ex-congressman from the 18th dis
trict for many years. Mr.. Ripley writes for
the Drug Trade News, bi-weekly trade
paper published in New York City.
Mr.. Ripley knows the Federal Trade
Commission as we'll as anyone in the country
and his appraisal of Mr.. Secrest's work
reflects in some measure the high esteem in
which he was held thru-out the entire
district.
1t should come as no surprise to people
in Noble county that Mr.. Secrest is also
making name for himself with the Federal
Trade Commission. Mr.. Ripley's complete
article is as follows:

Eastern Ohio launched movement, Thurs
day, that could be the answer. The details
OF this proposal are carried elsewhere in this

in the past, the need of some such plan.

1t should always be gratifying to the
general public they represent that officials
such as these will take time out from their
duties to participate in meeting that might
eventually mean more income for the

"Mr. Secrest's informal, easygoing attitude
fooled some people when he was appointed
to FTC in 1854. These thought another Con-

Instead, he has proved to be a hard worker
who has capacity to get to the CUTS Of
cases, to know them thoroughly and to know
why he makes his decisions. He has keen
sense of social responsibility as well as
responsibility to his oath of office.
''That he is Lincolnesque in some res
poets is no accident. He is student and
admirer of the Great Emancipator and it is
not difficult to realize that frontier days
were only yesterday when Mr.. Secrests
husky frame rises to it's 6-foot, Pinch height.
He is easily the most popular commissioner
with the ETC staff Like all ex-Congressmen,
he misses The Hill. This nostalgia is assuaged
when he reflects that as Federal Trade Com
missioner he's not called upon to drive 80
auto round trips to Ohio each year to make
speeches. These ordeals account in large
measure for his willingness to give up the
Congressional glamor for the relative
obscurity of FTC."
