Wallace's London Statements Disputed By Ex-OPA Chief WASHINGTON, April 11 (AP) —Leon Henderson, former OPA ad ministrator, said tonight that Amer icans for Democratic Action (ADA) do not agree with Henry Wallace’s statement that “the Truman doc trine on Greece and Turkey is a move towards war.” Henderson, interviewed on a Mu tual-WOL broadcast program, also said that Wallace was not author ized to speak for the organization in his tour of Europe. Wallace, former vice president, had criticized in a London speech the proposal of President Truman to help strengthen Greece and Tur key against communism through a $400,000,000 loan and aid program as “inadequate and demoralizing.” Professing himself to be “thor oughly alarmed,” Wallace also urged Britain to steer a middle course by refusing to take sides be tween this country and Russia. Henderson said that Americans for Democratic Action are not in full accord with the views of Wal lace, adding: “We do, however, think there are methods of working out differences with Russia on the Near Eastern question for a peace ful solution.” Wallace’s speech had provoked sharp comments in congress: Senator Eastland (D-Miss.) crit icized Wallace as the senate debat ed the Truman Greek-Turkish aid plan. No vote on the question was reached, however, and the senate finally recessed until next Tuesday. Wallace, declared Eastland, “has attempted to induce the friends and allies of his countries to desert her” and thus “force us to sail the peri lous seas alone.” British Disclose Secret Trade Plan GENEVA, April 11 (AP)—Brit ish and Dominion government in formants disclosed Wednesday ex istance of a secret empire agree ment for limited reduction of im perial preferences in return for “acceptable” tariff concession from other countries. First indication from these in formants, here for the prepara tory international trade talks sponsored by the United Nations, that such an agreement existed came after Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the British board of trade, said the commonwealth countries had set “some limits” in reduction of empire preferences. Delegates from Brazil, Canada, France, China, Britain, South Af rica, Norway, Holland, and New Zealand made cautious statements underlying the chaotic alterna tives implied in a failure to reach agreement on an international trade organization.

E. 13th Tel. 7-10 Court Action Tests State Strike Law NEWARK, N. J., April 11 (AP) Criminal and civil court actions were started today in a test by striking New Jersey Bell Tele phone company switchboard oper ators of the constitutionality of this state’s new anti-public utility strike legislation. At the same time 4,600 dial maintenance workers, members of an independent union which had returned to work when the legis lature passed an amendment to the law three days ago, received new instructions from their union president, J. J. Curtin, not to cross picket lines of the 12,000 striking operators. The operators defied the state law on instructions from the NFTW’s national strike policy committee in Washington, which described the statute as “fascist, unconstitutional and evilly in spired.” State Attorney General Walter D. Van Riper instructed local po lice officers today that picketing the telephone properties now was “unlawful and should be broken up.” Calls For Check-Up On 'Pinko' Solons WASHINGTON, April 11 (AP)' —Senator O’Daniel (D-Tex) told the senate Friday that some mem bers of congress “get their orders from Moscow” and that a “big time attorney in the rural electri fication administration” is listed as a communist. He asked: “Will the solons of the Kremlin hue of this congress, who get their orders from Moscow, be carefully investigated with the aim of sev ering the pipeline that flows their daily political diet to them from the heart of the communist world?” He made the remarks during debate on the proposed $400,000, 000 Greek-Turkish aid program. Although O’D aniel criticized “wasting our substance upon alien people,” he did not say how he woum vote. Instead he lashed out at the “prodigal sons of the New Deal” who he said have associated with “pinkos, reds and all other breeds of synthetic communists.” Moreover, he said, he has a “file in my office which shows that communists are holding top jobs. One, I find, is a big-time at torney in the rural electrification Administration.
