Political Scheme Charges
Fly Between Leaders Of Both
Parties In Congress Jangle
By JACK BELL. i
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 W
President Truman'i assertion
that Republican filibustered re
delaying money bills in the Sen
ate brought GOP counter charges
today that the Democrats are
stalling Congress1 adlournmei t.
Senator Morse (R Ore) told a
reporter he thinks there is a
Democratic plot to keep Congress
In session and thereby keep Re
publican lawmakers off the
tlump this fall.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, retorted that
this is "only a figment of the
Senator's imagination."
Senator Wherry of Nebraska
the GOP floor leader, and Sena
tor Taft of Ohio, chairman of nis
party's policy committee, took Is
sue with the President on the
money bill question.
Wherry called reporters togeth
er to tell them his belief that
Mr. Truman, in complaining at
delays, was actually reflecting on
the Democratic leadership.
The President made his filibuster-delay
statement at a news
conference yesterday.
Hoover "Sounds Funny"
At the same time he brushed
off the statement by former Pres
ident Hoover that the nation is
"on the last mile" torward col
lectivism . because of government
spending and taxation.
Asked about this, Mr. Truman
replied: It sounds funny to me.
I don't know what that Is, but I
don't think it is so.
On another point, the President
disagreed with a statement by
Clarence B. Randall, president
of Inland Steel, that presidential
creation of a fact-finding boaid
in the steel labor -management
dispute means that wa;es will be
fixed by the government and col
lective bargaining will be endeil.
Mr. Truman said such boards
have been set up for 15 or 2)
vears and they will not end bar
gaining. Taft Voices Denial
Senator Taft said forcefully
tha there hasn't been any Re
publican filibuster.
"There has been no filibuster
by Republicans on any bill," Taft
declared. "We have consistently
fought Increases made by the
Pemocratic Appropriations co'n
mitee and there nave been so
many of these that there hae
been delays.
'The Republican 80th Congrefs
approved all appropriations bills
by June 15 last year."
On the adjournment front,
Morse told a reporter he thinks
there is a definite move afoot
among administration Democrats
to delay quitting so that GOP
members seexing reelection won l
have much time to campaign this
year.
"They know that some of us,
like Senator Taft of Ohio, Sena
tor Donnel. of Missouri and my
self arc pretty vigorous cam
paigners and I think they want
to hamstring us as much as they
can, Morse said.
He added that since Democrats
control both Congress and the
Wlte House they are In better
position to confine themselves to
brief campaigns than the Repub
licans, who are on the outside
looking In.
Proponents Of Foreign Arms Aid
Funds Cut, Losing In Committee,
Plan To Carry Fight To House Floor
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-lP)
Advocates of cutting President
Truman'i $1,450,000,000 Arms Aid
bill gave up the fight in the House
Foreign Affairs committee today.
They decided to make their stand
on the House floor instead.
The bill is due to reach the floor
next week, after the Foreign Af
fairs committee votes on it Mon
day. Representatives Vorys (R
Ohio) and Richards (DSC), who
had been spearheading the drive
for cuts, told newsmen they plan
no further committee action but
will make their fight when the
bill comes before the House.
Their decision to toss in the
snonge In committee followed de
feat yesterday, by a tie vote, of
a Richards' amendment to re
duce the amount of arms aid t ir
Atlantic pact nations to $580,95,
000, and rejection todav, on a
technicality, of a similar amend
ment. The amendment offered today
would have done It by percent
age. Chairman Kce (D-W Va) ruled
It out of order on the ground the
committee already had rejected
the same proposal.
Amendments Pending
Before adjourning until next
Monday, the committee adopted
several amendments designed to
reiterate the hope of the U. S.
for world peace and calling on
administrators of the aid pro
gram to bring about "unified di
rection and effort" In developing
defense plans.
Several amendments still must
be considered by the committee.
Another Vorys amendment
would prohibit the construction
abroad with United States funds
of new arms plants. It would per
mit only standard U. S. arms to
be sent to foreign nations.
Both Vorys' and Richards have
amendments to charge at actual
cost or replacement cost the val
ue of any except surplus arms
sent abroad. President Truman
has proposed that he be given
broad authority to fix a value on
such arms.
Another amendment proposed
by Rep. Lodge (R-Conn) would
authorize a $200,000,000 arms ai l
program for non-communist Chi
na, A group of senators headed by
Knowland IR-Callf) have been
urging that $175,000,000 of the to
tal $1,450,000,000 arms aid pro
gram be earmarked for China.

Greece Steps Up
Campaign To
Kayo Guerrillas
ATHENS, Aug. 13. (JP The
Greek army stepped up its cam
paign against communist led
guerrillas Thursday by storming
the rebel stronghold in the Vitsi
triangle near the Albanian and
Yugoslav borders.
Informed sources said Greek
troops seized four strategic
heights in the heavilv fortified
area where 7,000 guerrillas are
believed entrenched.
The Vitsi triangle Is about 60
miles north of the Grammos
mountain area where a major
Greek army offensive was
launched last week.
Infantrymen were being rush
ed to the heights to meet an anti
cipated violent guerrilla counter
attack. Army sources said the guer

was that the guerrillas would try
to make a stand.
The ministry of war has label
ed "fantastic" a charge by the
official radio of Albania that
Greek government forces have
invaded Albanian soil.
The opening of the Vitsi front
gave the Greek army two major
theaters of operations in their
new six-day old offensive.
Informed sources said the total
guerrilla strength in Greece tins
been cut to 17.000 of which l.t,'
000 are in the Grammos and Vitsi

official of the International
Woodworkers of America (CIO)
estimated Friday half the union's
7.000 members In Its northern

employed. "We have members who have
been unemployed since last Oc
tober, especially in the logging
end of the industry," said Walter

tary. Belka said much of the unem
ployment Is due to Importation
of "millions of feet of logs" from
Canada. He explained there is
no duty paid on Canadian log
imports under the Marshall plan.
"Most of our members know
that from an employment stand
point thks Marshall plan is a Door
deal," BciKa added in an interview.

more accessible to water, stump
age is cheaper, loggers' wages
are lower and the United States
purchasers have an advantage on
exchange rates.
