Announcement by Russian,
Satellite Ministers Awaited
WARSAW, Poland, Friday, June 25-(AP)-Eight European nations
under the leadership of Russia called early today for the formation of
a "provisional, democratic, peace-loving, all-German government."
(A communique issued at the eight-nation conference, broadcast
r by the Moscow radio and heard in London, said the eastern bloc asked
for a four-power agreement on such a German government.)
The conference, which ended at midnight, said the proposed
German government should consist of representatives of the democra-
tic parties and organizations in Germany. Such a government, it added,
should create a guarantee against a repetition of German aggression.
' Such a state, conference observ-

Adams Scores
U.S.-European
Economic T ies
Cooperation Stressed
In 1st Series Lecture
A prosperous Europe is essen-
tial to our own economy and to
the politico-economic equilibrium
of the entire world, Provost James
P. Adams declared in the opening
lecture of the University's summer
series on "The Economic Recon-
struction of Europe."
Two world wars and a world de-
pression have made normal ad-
justment impossible, yet the eco-
nomic recovery of Europe is a
prerequisite for peace and there is
"no honorable retreat for the
United States," Provost Adams
declared.
Purpose of Effort
"We should keep clearly in
mind that the purpose of this gi-'
gantic cooperative effort in which
we are now engaged is the restor-
ation of economic self reliance
among these European peoples,"
he said.
"At the outset, this will involve
our help in providing them with
foodstuffs. It will also involve
help in the replacement and en-

ers said, would be the logical an-
swer to the six-power London
agreement to set up a federalized
Western German Government.
The Eastern State may be expect-
ed to seek the support of Commu-
nists in Western Germany to lend
color to a claim of representing all
Germany.
(The Moscow radio said the
meeting ended after the foreignI
ministers had drawn up a state-
ment on 'the subject of the deci-
sions of the London Conference on
Monday.")
The satellites represented here,
other than Poland, are Albania,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugo-
slavia, Romania and Hungary. All
are represented in the Cominform
except Albania.
The six Western powers-the
U.S., Britain, France, The Nether-
lands, Belgium and Luxembourg-
recently agre'ed on establishment
of a separate Western German
Government.
The announcement here said
Russia and Poland had called the
foreign ministers meeting to weld
a united front in shaping future
policy toward Germany.

Phoenix Plan
Will Analyze
Atom Effects
Economic Study
Major Feature
In a progress report issued yes-
terday, the preliminary planning
committee of the Phoenix Project
underscored the importance of the
second phase of the memorial-
studying the sociological and eco-
nomic effects atomic energy will
have in the United States.
The committee is headed by Dr.
Ralph A. Sawyer, Dean of the
Graduate School and Professor of
Physics.
The necessity for this phase of
the study resulted from a realiza-
tion of the profound emotional
and psychological effects on the
American population of either an
atomic war or an Atomic Age of
peace.
No Plan
The report mentioned that as
far as is known, no center or in-
tegrated plan for such studies
exist, nor "is any agency or foun-
dation vitally interested in them."
Discussing the possibility of an
atomic weapons war, the report
noted that "efforts to control
atomic energy through the United
Nations are not likely to be suc-
cessful."
"In that case an atomic wea-
pons race will continue, involving
for this country larger armies,
heavier taxes and selective service
in peacetime.
To Control Supplies
"The Atomic Energy Commis-
sion will control all supplies and
uses of fissionable material and
will exercise a broad influence on
the industrial lije of the nation."
The report stated that the de-
velopment of atom=ic bomb,
coupled with long range planes

President Okays Draft,
$10 Billion for Military
WASHINGTON, June 24-Pr sident Truran today signed the
peacetime Draft Bill and two appropriation measures that give over
ten billion dollars to the Army, Navy and Air Force.
His action on the conscription measure makes it law and stops the
flood of enlistments in the National Guard and Reserves by men 19
through 25 seeking to sidestep induction into the regular services.
Between 200,000 and 250,000 men are expected to be drafted the
first year.
The first defense measure signed today was the Navy Money Bill
totaling $3,719,059,250 for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The 46-year-old New York Governor crashed through to victory

Pledges Work;

Predicts Teamwork
Starting in January
CONVENTION HALL, Pila-
delphia, June 24 --(UP) -Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey accepted the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion tonight with a pledge to
strike for a United America and
a world order founded upon jus-
tice and peace.
To the cheering delegates who
had nominated him unanimously,
he said:
"To me, to be a Republican in
this hour is to dedicate one's life
to the freedom of men. As long as
the world is half free and half
slave, we must peacefully labor to
help men everywhere to achieve
liberty."-
On unity in America, the presi-
dential nominee brought a cheer
by ad libbing into his prepared
speech the statement:
"Let me assure you that begin-
ning next January 20 there will
be teamwork in the government
of the United States."
Housecleaning
Back in his hotel, Dewey told a
crowd in the ballroom where he
has maintained his headquarters
that there will be no more "Com-
mics on the government payroll"
when he is elected.
"We will start out by having the
finest housecleaning in Washing-
ton after January 20 you ever
saw," he said.
"We will restore the faith of
the American people in the spok-
en word of their government and
the integrity of its purpose."
It took himr only 53 minutes to
go to the convention hall, accept
the nomination and return to the
Bellevue Stratford Hotel.
With Mrs. Dewey at his side,
the governor told the crowd at
the hotel:
F'in Over
"The fun and work are over.
Now is the time for solemn con-
templation of the work that is
ahead,"
Dewey came onto the conven-
tion platform at 7:19 p.m. (CST),
A great roar went up and the
packed thousands on convention
floor and galleries stood and
cheered.
Dewey waved and in an aside
to Chairman Joe Martin said,
"Hey Joe, How are you?"
Next President
Martin banged the convention
order and said he was "happy to
present the next president of the
United States, Thomas E, Dewey,"
another big roar went up at that.
When he said, "I accept the
nomination" there were more
whoops.
The delegates yelled again when
Dewey told them, "I come to you
unfettered by a single obligation
I to any living person.

By the time the recess huddling,
frantic telephoning and caucusing
was over, delegates were stamped-
ing to the New Yorker.
Supporter Freed
And then rival candidates one
by one turned their supporters
loose, freed them to vote as they
pleased-and it pleased them all
to vote for Dewey.
There were Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio, who ran second the
first two times around the course,
Gov. Earl Warren of California,
former Gov. Iarold E. Stassen of
Minnesota.
There were Arthur Vandenberg,
Michigan Senator and all the rest.
Senator Raymond Baldwin of
Connecticut gave up as a favorite
son.
The little following of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur was cast loose.
And then the roll call was just
a routine formality. The rules re-
quired it.
New Hampshire, with 8 votes,
had the privilege of putting Dewey
definitely across.
Took 548
It took 548 out of the conven-
tion's total of 1,094 votes to make
it dead sure. The granite state's
votes made it 554.

Dewey Again
So it was Dewey again, just as
it was four years ago. And for the
first time in its history, the GOP
decided to string along with a
man who won a nomination but
lost a presidential race.
"No, no," die hard Stassen sup-
porters bellowed through the hall
when the popular former Gover-
nor of Minnesota dropped his
fight and promised all-out aid to
Dewey.

Running Mates
Pose Problem
Now for GP
Ilalleck, Gov. Stassen
Up for Vice-President
COVENTION HALL, Philadel-
phia, ,June 24-Republican lead-
ers tonight began guessing and
suggesting vice-presidential run-
ning mates for Governor Thomas
E. Dewey.
Word came from Dewey head-
quarters that the field iswide
open. But usually the Republican
Presidential nominee has much to
say about the No. 2 place on the
ticket.
Immediate speculation centered
around these men:
House GOP leader Charles A.
Halleck who swung Indiana's del-
egates onto the Dewey bandwagon
early in the voting and held them
there,
Senator John W. Bricker, who
was Dewey's running mate in
1944. The former Ohio governor,
who now is in the Senate, prob-
ably would accept an offer.
Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota,
even though his managers say he
does not want the job and will not
take it,
Governor Earl Warren of Cal-
ifornia, who helped clinch the
Dewey nomination by releasing
his solid 53 votes and urging them
to vote for Dewey. Friends of War-
ren say he is not a vice-presiden-
tial candidate.
Governor Dwight Green of Illi-
nois, who played 'a prominent role
supporting Senator Taft for the
Presidential nomination and was
temporary chairman of this con-
vention after keynoting it.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska
who has been acting as GOP lead-
er in the senate and is reported
willing to take the post.
Nomination of the Vice-presi-
dent was left until Friday with
delegates assembling at 8:30 aim
CST.
Formal speeches, including see-
onding talks, are on the schedule

WASHTNGTON, June 24
President Truman's emergency

Chairman David L. Cole of the

worked out just two days after the
board's prodding got Lewis and
the operators around the bargain-
ing table for serious talk on an

The present contract expires
