Senate Debates Plan To
Drop Electoral College
(Continued from page One)
number of popular votps received.
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

Within India, the president con
tinued, "our program is to wipe

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

Coal Industry Bids
Anew To John L. 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.

"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."

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.
"A few st'll say he Is Just a

Pirate Millions Goal
Of Digger In Miami
MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 26 UP
George B. 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.

No wonder he could fool Dean
Acheson," he added later. "He was
slave, able, ingenious. 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
