Truman, Party

Political Status
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-iJPt
President Truman had a political
pow-wow at the White House last
night with present and former
leaders of the Democratic Party's
national organization.
Charles G. Ross, the President's
press secretary, told reporters to
day that the "whole political situa
tion" was gone over In "frank
discussion."
Those attending Included Sena
tor Barkley of Kentucky, the vice
presidential nominee; Senator Mc
Grain of Rhode Island, chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and five former national
chairmen.
The former chairmen were
George White of Ohio, Robert E.
Hannegan, Frank Walker, Homer
S. Cummlngs and Edward J.
Flynn.
Ross said all other living for
mer chairmen, and James M. Cox
of Ohio, 1920 presidential candi
date, were invited but could not
attend for various reasons.
Asked why James A. Farley
did not attend, Ross said he under
stood Farley was on his way to
Europe. About the only other
party chairman of recent years
who was not there is Cordell Hull.
Hull is in very poor health.
Presumably, one purpose of the
extraordinary confab was to talk
over what kind of campaign
should be waged. '
Mr. Truman, has made It clear
that his own inclination is to keep
hammering away at the record of
what he calls at least the "second
worst" Congress in history.
Most political leaders think that
sooner or later Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, the Republican presiden
tial nominee, will be put into the
position of having to defend that
Lrecord.
nepuoiican leaders in uongress
believe Dewey Is satisfied with
their anil-Inflation and housing
program.
One of these leaders, who asked
not to be quoted by name, said
this belief grows out of what he
called the fact that Dewey has
not sent any word to the con
trary. Revised Housing Bill

Chairman Tobey (R. N.H.) told

Tobey offered a motion in the
committee to give Mr. Truman
the stand-by price controls and
allocation powers which he ask
ed. The proposal was voted down
six to four.
Tohev said the entire House

1948 Makes Good
Contest Showing
Miss Joyce Sheffel, Miss Rose
burg of 1948, made a very credit
able showing at the Miss Oregon
contest at Seaside, according to
a report by Forrest Losee, at the
Lions Club meeting Thursday

gown exhibition, that her singing
number was well received, and
that In all her showing In the
contest received a very high rat
ing. While no place other than first
was announced for the contest.
Losee stated that in his opinion,
shared with others in attendance,
the Roseburg candidate was
among the top five ef 21 com
petitors. He said the selection of
Miss Joyce Davis of Redmond
was popular, although there were
otner outstanding contestants.
In his opinion he said, the" con
test on the whole was of a higher
caliber than that of fast year,
the competition was keener, and
the entire program went off in
better order. He praised the Sea
side Chamber of Commerce as
being a really live wire organiza
tion, which raised $2700 to put
on the show. .
He considered the Roseburg
contest a very worthy project
and recommended that the Lions
Club continue with a Miss Rose
burg prgram In future years.
Needs of Swim
Pool Considered
Dick Evans of San Francisco,
safety service director of the
American Red Cross of the Pa
cific Coast area, was In Rose
burg Thursday, conferring with
Russell Stephens, local executive
secretary, and others connected
with local Red Cross activity.
Evans was particularly inter
ested in the program to provide
trained swimming Instructors
and life guards for the Roseburg
swimming pool, wnen it is ready
or use. Stephens said probably
nothing will be done In this re
gard until next year, as the sea
son Is late and no facilities for
swimming instructions will be
available until the pooj la opened.
While the swimming pool is
slated for completion by the end
of this month, the dressing
rooms, lorxers ana otner facul
ties are not expected to be com
pleted for use until next year.

A-Bomb Project
Head Shipped No
Uranium to Soviet
NEW YORK. Aug. 6 (.T The
man who headed America's war
time atomic bomb project says he
never shipped any uranium to
the Soviet Union.
MaJ. Gen. Leslie R. Groves,
questioned yest-rday about a
congressman statement that
1,300 pounds of uranium com
pound were shipped - to Russia
during tne war, said:
"I did not ship it. As a retired
Army officer it would not be
proper for me to answer that
question fuilv.
Grove's statement was made in
a radio interview over WOR.
Asked whether, if such uranium
shipments were made, they were
made without his knowledge, he
said:
"That would be a fairly good
assumption.
Rep. John McDowell (R-PA.)
chairman of a subcommittee of
the house un-American activities
committee, said in Washington
yesterday the uranium shipments
were made after "tremendous
pressure" was put on the U. S.
government.
House Told of Uranium
Exported to Russians
(Continued From Paga One)
other testimony already gather
ed, "will prove the existence of
a communist spy ring . wmcn
reached high Into the govern
ment during the war."
Clark's refusal to turn over
the FBI records on Remington
was in line with an order from
President Truman who denounc
ed the congressional hearings
yesterday as a "red herring" in
tended to divert public attention
from what he calls the refusal
of the Republlcap-fcontrolled con
gress to enact adequate anti-inflation
legislation.
Remington, 30-year-old suspen
ded Commerce Department of
ficial, was identified by Eliza
beth T. Bentley as one of several
government workers she says
passed wartime information to
her for a Communist espionage
ring.
Probe To Continue .,
Although public hearings are
being suspended, Ferguson said
the senate grouo will continue to
dig for facts on Remington and
the entire government loyalty
program at closed hearings aid
"bv any legal means."
The House subcommittee went
to unusual efforts to keep its
activities from being known.
Even the names and numbers
of the members were kept secret.
It was set up late yesterday after
an investigator hurried into a
with word another key witness
had been located.
Mundt predicted that as a re
sult the spy ring case "will be
cracked wide open" in public
hearings next week. Hearings
for the rest of this week were
ruled out.
Ferguson's announcement that
the senate group Is ending public
hearings was made In the com
mittee's hearing room to repa-rt-ers
and to spectators drawn by
anticipation of further hearings
today.
He said the hearings "cannot
proceed further at this time" be
cause President Truman denies
congress access to confidential
records.
Ferguson went on to sav the
question of Remington's loyalty
Is Incidental. He said the com
mittee is trying to learn how well
the government is guarding
against employment of subver
sive people.
. "Congress appropriated $11.
000.000 for this loyalty program,"
Ferguson said. And. he declared
the lawmakers are determined
to find out how the program is
working.
President Truman told his
news conference yesterday that
he would not turn over the con
fidential data to either Senate or
House Investigations.
Mundt left the Impression that
the mystery witness turned up
by the house group has had some
sort of dealings with the Com
munist underground or sdv net
work. Rut he wouldn't say io

Uranium Shippers Named
MacDowell told the House that
the committee will unravel for
LCongress and the people in the
near xuiure an incretuoie story
about Russia's getting vital ura
nium compoun -. which are "es
sential to atomic research."
He said that on March 23, 1943,
200 pounds of uranium oxide and
200 pounds of uranium nitrate
furnished by the S. W. Shattuck
Chemical Company of Denver
were shipped directly to Col. A.
N. Kotikov of the Soviet Govern
ment Purchasing Commission.
"It was then transported by
air from Great Falls, Mont., to
Moscow," MacDonald said.
MacDonald said that 500 pounds
each of uran'.i m nitrate and black
uranium oxide were shipped by
the Canadium Radium and Ura
nium Corporation from Port
Hope, Ontario, to Great Falls,
Mont., and then to Col. Kotikov.
Then, In 1945, MacDowell said,
some uranium metal itself was
"sent to the Soviet Union to
appease them."
He said he has heard testimeny
of over 30 peoole and has the
records. And MacDowell defied
anyone to prove he Is wrong.
After getting the final 1,000
pounds of compounds, MacDowell
said, Russia "came back and want
ed 15 tons but by that time some
body woke up and so far as I
know this order was not per
mitted to be filled."
The congressman told report
ers he did not know how the
uranium metal left the country
but that it went to Col. Kotikov,
too.
