Marshall Gives AssemblyTalk PARIS - (1P) - Secretary of State George C. Marshall told Russia that the United States will not compromise on principles to win peace.; * * * Charges Actions, Of Dems, G. 0. P. Will1 Start -War By RUSS CLANAHAN Progressives, students, and townspeople are catching their breath today after yesterday's whirlwind visit of Sen. Glen Taylor, running mate of Wallace in the presidential campaign. Moving rapidly after his noon speech to Kaiser-Frazer work- ers at the gates of the Willow Run plant, Senator Taylor gave talks at a Women for Wallace luncheon at the Union, followed by a public address in Ann Arbor's West Park. He concluded his tour through Washtenaw County with a short talk at Willow Village, and moved on immediately for an evening rally at Pontiac. * * * HE ALSO WARNED the Sociel Union that American patience must not be misunderstood foi weakness. That would be a tragic error, he said. The calm-voiced secretary did not mention Russia by name in his American policy declar- ation to the United Nation's General Assembly. But delegates who listened carefully agreed he was talking directly to the Soviet Union and her satellites. Marshall was preceded only by the Philippines in the Assembly's opening general debate.- Informed sources said he requested that early spot months ago so there would be no mistake about the United States policy in the cur- rent meeting of the World Par- liament." THE SOVIET sphere apparent- ly understood Marshall's message. Poland quickly followed with a blistering attack on alleged Amer- ican imperialism-principally the European Recovery Program. Marshall said the United States will not "compromise the essential principles" or "bar- ter away the rights and freedom of other peoples." He pulled no surprises like last year's demand for creation of the Little Assembly. He did urge con- tinuation of the Little Assembly for another year, opened the door to the Russian-led minority to co- operate, and declared that there are nohmechanical majorities as Russia has charged. IN A SPEECH which drew im- mediate favorable comment from non-Communist delegates, Mar- shall carefully laid down the American position on major prob- lems before the assembly and closed with these words: "The United Nations has sought to promote the free exchange of ideas on a basis of fll reciprocity. The effort is of the greatest po- litical importance. Any govern- ment which by deliberate action cuts itself and its people off from the rest of the world becomes in- capable of understanding the problems and policies of other gov- erninents and other peoples. It would be a tragic error if, because of such misunderstanding, the pa- tience of others should be mis- taken for weakness. "The United States does not wish to increase the existing tension. It is its wholehearted desire to alleviate that tension." Arabs Charge Truce Broken AMMAN, Trans-Jordan-(IP)- The Arab Legion charged that a Jewish fighter plane shot down an Arab airliner, killing two British correspondents. AN ARAB Legion spokesman charged that the incident was a violation of the Palestine truce and said a vigorous investigation was being demanded of UN obsevers. (This was the third incident in recent days heightening Palestine tension beginning with the assass- ination of the UN mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte and a French aide last Friday in Jerusalem. Yes- terday Arabs attacked a UN-spon- sored Jewish convoy at Latrun and REPORTED KILLED IN PAL- ESTINE - John Locke Lewis (above), 54, of Philadelphia, was reported killed by Arabs in ambush of a Jewish convoy en- route to Jerusalem.

"This," said the President, "is a championship fight. Do not believe anybody is going to win this fight by running away from the record or ducking the is- sues." To liberals leaning toward Henry A. Wallace's third party, Mr. Tru- man called out: "Think again." * * * THIS IS THE hour for the lib- eral forces of America to unite," he said. "We have hopes to ful- fill and goals -to attain. Together we can rout the forces of reaction once again." The Chief Executive's attempt to cut away Wallace' following came in a major campaign ad- dress prepared for delivery to a Los Angeles crowd gathered in Gilmore Stadium. Politicians generally have agreed that a heavy vote for Wallace would damage the Democrats worse than the Republicans. "THE DEMOCRATIC ideal of America," he said, "is summed up in the four freedoms: freedom from want; freedom from fear; freedom of worship; freedom of speech. "The Republican ideal, as I have seen it in action, is summed up in the phrase, "big business first." There is 'frightening evidence,' Mr. Truman declarea, that if the country goes Republican "every- thing is likely to be all wrong within a very short time." PRESENTING what he called 'hard facts" instead of "high{ sounding words," Mr. Truman said the people must wake up and realize that at this very instant "their standard of living and their hopes for the future are at stake."l EMPHASIZING FOREIGN POLICY in all his speeches, Taylo attacked both the Democrats and the G.O.P. for what he termed ". deliberate effort to provoke war with the Russians." He revealed tha, high authorities in government will soon announce that the Unitec States is now rearming Japan. Other examples he -ited of this "provocation" of the Soviets were the "billion dollar; worth of equipment the United States has sent to Turkey," aad "the $100,000,000 appropriation an- nounced by Sen. Styles Bridges for sabotage and espionage in Russia and Eastern Europe." Speaking before an estimated crowd of 400 people in West Park, Taylor deplored "the present fascist government of Chile, where 5,000 labor leaders have been sent to concentration camp." He warned that the same thing might happen in this country "if such laws as the Mundt-Nixon Bill are passed." * * * SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, the audience-composed largely of stu- dents and younger townspeople - were later enthusiastic, as Taylor spoke to them with a skillful combination of seriousness and humor. (AP Wirephoto) PROGRESSIVE COMES TO TOWN-Grinning Sen. Glen Taylor (above), Henry Wallace's running-mate greeted his Ann Arbor boosters wit ha speech at West Park yesterday afternoon. * * ,* PROGRESSIVE IDEAS: Sen. Taylor E-mphasizes Need for Proper Atitude Ex Officio! WASHINGTON - WI) - Call off the election! Throw away the ballots! There's no point in choosing a vice-president, folks. He doesn't have an office to come to. This sad news camne out in- advertently today when apho- tographer, acting on an impulse which is somewhat obscure, de- cided to take a picture of the Vice-President's hangout. "Imagine my surprise, he said. "He hasn't got any." That's true, too. It must be sad news for the Messrs. War- ren, Barkley, Taylor, Wright et al. Here they are, running for an office which has no office space. "When the new Senate Of- fice Building is built," David Lynn, Capitol architect said, "We plan to have a very nice suite for the vice-president." "But we won't even ask for bids until next May," said Lynn. And what will the vice-presi- dent do until then, poor thing? Ex-spy Bentley May Be Sued On Libel Count WASHINGTON - (P) - Eliza- beth T. Bentley, whose tes- timony about a wartime Russian spy ring touched off the current series of Congressional investiga- tions, was threatened with a libel suit today by one of the men she accused. William W. Remington, who is on suspension from the Commerce Department awaiting the out- come of a loyalty inquiry, de- manded that Miss Bentley make "a satisfactory public retraction" of her charges against him. Other developments in the couble-barreled investigations be- ing conducted by House and Sen- ate committees included: 1. Senator Ferguson (Rep., Mich.) charged that his investi- gation had been "thwarted" by President Truman and Attorney General Clark. 2. Clark denied that he had ever refused Hoover permission to tes- tify, and said the senator "delib- erately mis-states the facts" in an effort to win support in his race for reelection. 3. Rep. McDowell (Rep., Pa. said he would recommend to the House Un-American Activities Committee tomorrow that two un- named atomic scientists and a Communist operative be indicted on espionage charges. 4. Rep. Hebert (Dem., La.), a member of the same House com- mittee, said the group had turned up no evidence "at all" of any spying here since the war. Union Pension Bargain Right Upheld by Court CHICAGO-(W)-The U.S. Cir- cuit Court of Appeals held that qualified unions can require em- ployers to bargain with them about pensions. The court also upheld the con- stitutionality of a provision of the Taft-Hartley Law requiring union officials to sign affidavits that they are not Communists. The ruling sustained a national. Labor Relations Board order that the Inland Steel Company must discuss pensions with the CIO United Steelworkers-if union of- ficers sign non-Communist affi- davits. The senator's abbreviated speech a Dewey Backs Military Atom Development Says Peaceful Uses Also Must Be Found PHOENIX, Ariz. - (A) - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said America must back the military develop- ment of atomic energy "to the hilt" so long as the peace of the world is threatened. But the Republican presidential nominee added that "we are de- termined that this great new force" be turned eventually "into an instrument of peace-not war," with civilian development. * 'i* IN HIS fourth major campaign address, prepared for delivery at 9:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Montgomery Stadium here, Dewey said that so far "our best efforts" to harness atomic en- ergy for peace have been blocked "by the repeated vetoes of the Soviet Union" in the United Na- tions. After a round of rear platform talks on his way through the state from Albuquerque, N.M., the New York Governor said: "You can be very sure that many mil- lions of freedom loving, peace seeking people of the world are giving thanks tonight that the atomic secret for the present at least is America's secret. at Willow Village got little reaction, however. Taylor-a former actor and singer-lived up to his reputa- tion as the "singing senator" by joining with his wife and older son, Arod (reverse of his wife's name, Dora) in a song after his West Park speech. His younger son, "P.J.," also got in the vocal fun after each of Taylor's ap- pearonces, usually accompanied by Bernie Asbel, a professional folk singer with the senator's party. At the luncheon meeting, Tay- lor was introduced by Prof. Wil- fred Kaplan, of the mathematics department. Also present was John Ciardi, a former Hopwood winer and an English professor at Harvard, who solicited party funds. * * * TROUBLE WITH th e city over the ordinance prohibiting sound trucks failed to materialize yesterday as a six car motor cav- alcade-headed by a makeshift sound truck-passed down State street and through the downtown district without police interfer- ence. As the vice-presidential can- didate arrived at West Park for his speech there, two 11 year olds buttonholed him before he could even leave the car, and immediately plied him with questions such as "where were you born" and "where did you go to school." The two intrepid reporters turned out to be Nancy Link and Gwen Etzel-both sixth graders at Mack School-conducting an interview for their grade paper, which "usually comes out on Tuesday." Proper attitude, not proper methods, is the key to peaceful Russian relations,kand only Wal- lace's election can insure the right approach, Sen. Glen Taylor told newsmen yesterday. "If the Progressive Party come into power, the USSR would have confidence in the desire of the American people for peace," he said. * * * THE CANDIDATE addressed a news conference at the Student Publications Building prior to his public talk at West Park. Emphasizing that the Progres- sive Party did not need to sug- gest any specific methods for "getting along" with Russia, Sen. Taylor said that it is America's present aggressive attitude which prevents Russia from having con- fidence in us. * * * STANDING ERECT and speak- ing in a loud clear voice, the Idaho senator time and time again blasted what he called Dulles and the cartel men. They have promoted the Cold War so that they can build up a strong military force to subugate the world and obtain more profits, he charged. "I suppose they are planning a war with Russia," he added. * * * DEFENDING THE running of Progressive Party candid a t e s against "liberal" candidates, the senator called such men as Hum- World News At a Glance WASHINGTON - (A) - The United States has given the new French government "a vote of con- fidence" by letting it have a spe- cial recovery fund of about $230,- 000,000, government officials said today. DETROIT - (P)-A strike of 170 plant guards that crippled a segment of Detroit's auto in- dustry for 15 days came to an end today, and 60,000 idled auto workers prepared to return to their jobs. The Briggs Manufacturing Co. whose 25,000 workers had refused to cross the independent union's picket lines, planned to go back to full scale operations Friday. phrey of Minnesota "phoney lib- erals." "Humphrey is in favor of peace- time draft and the Marshall Plan. What difference will it make when we are all dead whether there is a Taft-Hartley Law or not?" IDescribing the "expansion of the United States wherever we have military forces and supplies," Sen. Taylor charged that the gov- ernment is already rearming Japan. Nab Alien on 'Redl' Charge CHICAGO-(UP)-George Pirin- sky, 48, executive secretary of the American-Slav Congress, was arrested on a warrant charging him, as an alien, with belonging to an organization advocating force- ful overthrow of the United States government. In Washington, the Justice De- partment said the action against Pirinsky is based upon alleged membership in the Oommunist Party, not upon his affiliation with the American-Slav Congress. The Department said that Pir- insky "affiliated with the Com- munist Party after his entry into this country, in violation of the immigration statutes." Pirinsky was in Chicago for the fourth American-Slav Congress which opens tomorrow in the Stevens Hotel. He was arrested in the Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Bureau and later released under $1,000 bond. Officials Call For Aid After Meeting 'Fix' Attack Answered By Communist The Campus Chapter of the American Veterans Committee split wide open over the Commu- nist issue in a meeting which lasted into the early hours yester- day morning. * * * CHARGING THAT Communists and Communist symppthigers packed the meeting, Dave Babson, AVC chairman, declared that they were trying to capture control of the organization. Babson said Communists invad- ed the meeting under the leader- ship of Ed Shaffer and outvoted the rank-and-file membership in passing certain resolutions. Shaffer controlled a block of University students ofCommunt sympathies including transfer stu-r dents from Brooklyn College, a cording to Babson. Shaffer denied packing the meeting and claimed he had never seen the transfer students before. * * * "I AM NOT AT ALL surprised that the rank and file members, many of whom supported the pres- ent leadership in the past, voted as they did," he declared. The is- sues concerned civil liberties which the vast majority of AVC mem- bers wants to defend, Shaffer con- tended. He admitted contacting other members of the AVC prior to the meeting and outlining his plans for the resolutions, however, * * * THE CONTESTED resolution condemned the action the Nation- al Planning Committee of AVC had taken in expelling John Gates, Daily Worker editor and gommtu- nist Party member. The National group declared last summer that Gates could not be a Communist and still subscribe to the AVC pre- amble. The preamble pledges mem- bers "to maintain full produc- tion and full employment in our country under a system of free enterprise in which bus- inesses, labor agriculture and government cooperate." According to the Shaffer reso- lution, the expulsion "is an at- tempt to divert the attention of the membership from the failures of the present administration by raising at the time of election of delegates to the national conven- tion the false issue of the Bolshe- vik-bogey." It also declared that the action was "dictatorial, undemocratic, and contrary to the principles upon which AVC was founded." The resolution continued, "The administration is trying to hide the fact that in the past year the NPC took no action against the draft, against UMT,,against dis- crimination in the armed forces, and for the preservation of civil liberties." THE MEETING was slated as- a discussion of, "The Place of the Veteran on Campus-Three Years Later." But Shaffer, and the faction he controlled prevented carry- ing out the planned program and rammed through several Communist line resolutions, Babson said. Today Babson, Summer Chair- man Everett Bovard and Treas- urer Ed Tumin are marshalling forces to regain control of the AVC. * * * "WE WILL temporarily drop our proposed series of educational pro- grams and wage an all out battle to restore the organization to its former status, they told The Daily. "It is either we or they," Bab- son said. "We will fight fire with fire utilizing every weapon at our command." The Wednesday night meeting was a stormy four hour session which saw the Communist liners. in complete control, Babson said. Of the 100 AVC members 60 were present at the outset. * * * BUT THIS number had dwin- dled to 36 when the meeting fi- nally broke up at 12:30 a.m. Babson said all of the Shaffer f atin ad AVC! m --,or.hi U' INSTALLS TELEVISION: Burton Tower Gets.
