Thus in a state with 12 elec toral votes, a candidate receiv ing 75 per cent of the popular vote would be entitled to nine electoral votes. Under the pres ent system he would get all 12. The amendment also would eliminate any possibility of House of Representatives electing a President. This has happened In the past when no candidate re ceived a majority of the elec toral votes, currently 266. Objeotlons Listed Obiections to the plan fall Into three general arguments: (A) It would tend to Increase the num ber of so-called "splinter" par ties: (B) It would introduce the principle of proportional ' repre sentation at the presidential lev el, and (C) It would work to the disadvantage of one or the other of the two major political parties. Lodge said some Southern Dem ocrats fear it would break up the so-called "solid south wnicn traditionally goes down the line for Democratic candidates. But others, he continued, feel that a realistic two-party system in the south would give Southern Dem ocrats a stronger voice in party councils. Similarly, he reported, some senators fear that the abolition of the electoral college would have an adverse effect on Re publicans in northern states re garded as traditional GOP strong holds. Ledge said he Is In no hurry for a vote because when it comes I want it to be an informed vote." India Joins Ranks Of Democratic Republics (Continued from pag One) Democratic republic of Inlda pos sible." Major Alms Told India's foreign policy, he said, "Is to live In terms of friendship with all other countries." Within India, the president con tinued, "our program is to wipe out disease, poverty and Ignor ance. We are anxious to rehabi litate the displaced persons who have suffered and are still suf fering great hardship and priva tion." President Truman sent a mes sage to Prasad that India's new status "constitutes an auspicious beginning for the second half of the twentieth century. "May the future of the new republic functioning under a Democratic constitution be char acterized by peace, prosperity and good fortune," the U. S.

Lewis (Continued from page One) only possible move which could head off (1) the spread of strikes In key soft coal mines and (2) intervention by President Tru man. More and more soft coal min ers dropped their tools this week, and Director James Boyd of the bureau of mines told the Senate labor committee yesterday that unless coal production increases at once, "the national economy, health and welfare of the na tion is now or soon will be im periled." At least aB.uou miners were reported Idle and the number was spreading. Steel companies announced more cut-backs and the banking of furnaces for lack of coal. Railroads were laying off workers for the same reason. The striking miners may be protesting Lewis' order to work only thre days a week, or they may be forcing a showdown with coal operators who have held out against Lewis' contract demands since last spring. The miners have been working on and off without a formal contract since last July 1. Truman 8tlH Delays Mr. Truman was reliably re ported to be convinced that if the out-break of strikes in west ern Pennsylvania, West Virginia ana unio were enaea, tne coai shortages feared by operators, re tailers and congressmen would lessen or disappear. wnite Mouse policy advisers on whom Mr. Truman relies were reported to be cautioning against any action by the President be-' lore next week. They said that despite the Boyd testimony yesterday the executive would hold off a while longer. But they hinted that If Lewis did not move In the next 48 hours to restore at least three-day pro duction each week, Mr. Truman would take the first steps toward Invoking the Taft-Hartley act strike-ending machinery. mat ilrst step would be the appointment of a board of in quiry wnicn would need at least a week or ten days to make its study and report to the Presi- oent. aucn a noara coum only record the facts, and could not suggest a solution. The strike could end or expand in the mean time. Mr. Truman Is pledged to re peal the Labor act and Lewis is one of Its leading critics. That puts them on the same side of tne controversy over invoking the Taft-Hartley act. 19c 69c 41c 3.98 LARGE PKG. 3-LB. CAN "Little People" Astir, Marshall Dana Says (Continued from page One) todav: I call it a movement of little people," Dana said. He de clared this movement is leading toward freedom and liberty, words which many of the world s people believe are synonymous with " a little more rice, a little more land." Speaking of his meeting with the Orient's leaders, Dana re ferred to Mme. Chiang Kai-shek and Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur as "wo of the world's most cap able persons, who are also two of the greatest actors." During his Interview with Gen. MacArthur, Dana was told not to expect a shooting war with Russia for at least five years, a statement Dana received two years ago. . . U. 8. For. I0n Polioiee Hit The Oregon editor scored the of ficial U. S. attitude toward sup porting those Asiatic countries who have since fallen to the com munists, "How stupid can U. S. officials become In writing off Formosa, Korea and Nationalist China?" he asked. He lamented the policy of not strengthening hope of these nations to maintain free dom. Instead, he said, we sit back and take all the insults Russia has to offer. "Our sons will die because we don't know where American de fense begins," Dana declared. He warned that, with control of all China, the USSR will have the greatest manpower pool In the world and will be able to re sist the combined efforts of any union of nations. A rapid shift to the European scene brought forth remarks from Dana that the Marshall plan Is "money well spent." "However, it must be replaced soon by a real stimulus to trade and productivity of the individual countries involved," he said. Dana concluded his talk with the thought that "these trails of freedom over which the world's little people are treading do have a meeting place and that place is riht here In Oregon." "We have an abundance of those things necessary for spirit ual, intellectual and material achievement and betterment," he declared. "Let's not let them get away." Walter E.

Made by The maker Acheson's Stand For Hiss Stirs GOP Wrath (Continued from page One) that he will not turn his back on any of the other Communists in the State department. Democrat Critical There were some In-formal ex pressions of admiration for Ache son on Capitol hill, based on the therme of personal loyalty, but there was no apparent rush to his side. One Democrat, Rep. O'Toole of Brooklyn, criticized the State de partment chief. O'Toole told a reporter: "If Secretary of State Acheson has been quoted correctly, I feel that he has done the greatest disservice to due process of law and the democratic way of life that has ever been done by any high American public servant." Acheson's remark, at a news conference, came within a few hours of the sentencing of Hiss to five years on conviction of ly ing in swearing that he never passed any secret State depart mentment documents to an agent for the Communist underground. Hiss maintained his innocence and pledged he would vindicate him self. The Secretary of State, with some emotion, told reporters: "I should like to make .it clear to you that whatever the outcome of any appeal which Mr. Hiss on nis lawyers may take in tnls case, I do not Intend to turn my back on Alger Hiss. "I think every person who has known Alger Hiss or has served with him at any time has upon his conscience the very serious task of deciding what his atti tude is and what his conduct should be." Acheson said it was clear to him what his own stand should be. Mundt remarked that Acheson "speaks from the affinity of a close and long-established friend ship, and a business relationship with his brother (Donald Hiss), with whom he (Acheson) was a partner in the law business." Because of this, Mundt added, he does not believe that Acheson "is exactly what he would call an objective witness as to the loyalty of Alger Hiss." Frankfurter Also Rapped Mundt also criticized Supreme .Court stlce Felix Frankfurter for testifying In behalf of Hiss at the first trial, which ended with a hung jury. He said Frankfurter "dragged the hallowed robes eSFlrtess against Hiss at both his the supreme court into a criminal court as a character witness for a man now convicted of perjury." Mundt credited Hiss with the ability ') work his way Into con fidence of men high In govern ment where he could control policy-making.

Mobley, 83, Is busy digging a big hole in downtown Miami and says he is looking for $40,000,000 in gold. So far the hole, now about 20 feet deep, has yielded a glass Mason Jar patented Nov. 30, 18 58, and a wine bottle dated 1853. A handful of onlookers watch ed yesterday as Mobley demon strated his glass, metal and wooden divining rod. It leaned toward the hole, partially filled with water. Mobley said pirate hid the gold in springs here when they came to get fresh water In the 16th and 17th centuries, but he's leaning heavily on his rod for the exact location. Two years ago Mobley sought $4,000,000 in gold in Green Cove Springs, Fla., but found only some old timbers and brass globules. He said the diggings cost his backer, Dr. H. H. Humphreys, Jacksonville physician, $3,800. CREDIT ASSN. MEETS The regular monthly meeting of the Roseburg Retail Credit as sociation was held at the Hotel Umpqua Wednesday evening.

But he wasn't smart enough to cover up his tracks." Mundt as' a House member served on the un-American activi ties committee which' turned up the startling testimony of Whit- taker Chambers, self-admitted former communist spy ring oper- hadr"Wr. Chambers was the key wit- trials, Without this committee, Mundt said, there would have been "no conviction of Alger Hiss nor an exposure of the communist-espionage ring in the government." "A whole ocean of red herrings won't obscure that," he added, referring to President Truman's description of the committee In vestigation as a red herring. iff ja- - iY.St.,TT.v'- Wallace Green Facts Murder Indictment .
