Republicans have taken some
pride in their cooperation with
the administrations of Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman in the de
velopment of a bipartisan foreign
policy. Their cooperation was
actively solicited by Cordell Hull
during the war. with the encour
agement of Mr. Roosevelt, who
was anxious to avoid the failure
of President Wilson aftec the
nrst world war. This cooperation
was manife-t in the composition
of the delegation to the confer
ence of the United Nations and
in subsequent conferences to pre
pare terms of the peace. Just
now it is evident in the enact
ment bv the republican congress
of the plan for European recov
ery suggested by Secretary Mar
shall and recommended by .Presi
dent Truman.
I have been questioning how
ever whether our foreign policy
may not have suffered from thi
readiness of republicans to go
along with the administration.
Our foreign relations have come
to a perilous pass. The president
calls for resumption of the draft
and imposition of universal mili
tary training. Secretary Marshall
describes the situation as very,
very serious. Secretary Forrestal
pleads for rearmament and ex
pansion of the armed forces. Could
this progressive deterioration of
our foreign relations have occur
red if there had been an in
telligent opposition in the con
gress? Perhaps so; but the fact
stands out that our postwar

After plans are completed the

The board approved two build

For one of them, a six-unit
court apartment for married staff
members at the state boys' train-

the construction work will be

$14,105.
Also approved by the board is
construction of two new cottages

In the first Oregon test case on
Nevada divorces, the supreme
court upheld a Multnomah coun
ty circuit court ruling based on the
finding that Emery B. Kelley of
Portland had spent three months
in Nevada (in 1945) for the sole
purpose of obtaining a divorce
from Mrs. Anna Kelley. who sub
sequently contested the divorce.
Short-Term Residence
Nevada requires only six weeks'
residence before a divorce may be
granted.
The supreme court's decision
affirmed Circuit Judge David R.
Vandenberg. Of Klamath Falls,
who had heard the case in Mult
nomah coi1 ay circuit court. The
lower couit k. id found the divorce
illegal and had granted Mrs. Kel
ley her requested separation pLis
$10 a month support money.
Divorces Worthless
After the supreme court an
nounced its decision Tuesday, one
of the high court officials re
marked "this decision means that
most Nevada divorces aren't worth
the paper they are written on as
far as Oregon is concerned.
Although there was little time
for study of the full effect of the
court ruling, attorneys conjectur
ed that divorced persons affected
might now claim half their spouse's
income in filing income tax under
Oregon's community property law
Complications also are expected
to result in property settlements,
legitimacy and custody of chil
dren and the status of remarriages
following Nevada divorces.
Police, Pickets
Clash in Strike
At Wall Street
NEW YORK. March 30 -;P-i
Brief but bitter battling between
police and pickets broke out today
in Wall street - - the world's most
moneyed thoroughfare.
The spectacular scrapping open-
ed the second day of a strike of

changes. It was fought at the very doors
of the stock exchange as striking
; financial workers' and husky AFL
j seamen who swelled their picket
lines tried to block the main en
trance of the building.
Police guards met them with
clubs swinging.
! Pickets who stretched them
selves cut on the sidewalk were
hauled to their feeW Policemen
were knocked down. Women
screamed:
Clothing was torn. There were
several minor injuries. Two men
suffered fractured arms. A detec
tive was sent to a hospital, his
head bleeding.
Calls went in for riot squads and
ambulances. Wall street was ro
ped off. Private phones in nearby
stores were allocated fcr police
emergency use only.
After the fighting, 43 men and
two women had been carted off to
the old slip police station. Most of
them were charged with disorder
ly conduct. Six, identified as sea
men by police, were accused of as
sault. All pleaded innocent. Some
were released on bail and others j
paroled.

'Under
Compulsion'
WASHINGTON, March 30 -A-Forced
by a federal judge to ap
pear before a board investigating
the coal strike, John L. Lewis to
day entered a blanket denial that
he caused the nation-wide walk
out. He declared that the soft coal
miners left their Jobs because
"they found out that they had
been gold-bricked by the oper
ators." The strike started March 15,

' ored" their contract by failing to
arrange pension payments.
i But Lewis insisted the miners
walked out on their own.
Compelled by Court
; The UMW president was com
pelled by the federal district court
to answer questions before a pres
idential board investigating the
, strike.
i The board may report its find
, ings to President Truman tomor-
row. When it does, Mr. Truman
I can direct the attorney general to
seek a federal court injunction to
stop the strike. The board is act
ing under the Taft-Hartley law.
Lewis was forced before the
board after he had ignored its own
1 subpoena yesterday. Promptly the
I three members turned to the fed
i eral court, and in 10 minutes this
morning, an order was issued di
recting Lewis to appear at 2 p m.
Tells Lewis Version
So "under compulsion," as he
: put it. the miners' chief gave his
side of the pension dispute.
He confirmed that he wants ev
. ery man who reaches 60 with 20
years' mining experience to have
$100 a month pension out of a fund
raised through a 10-cents a ton
royalty on coal. If the fund would
! not support $100 payments "they
( certainly would have to be reduc
i ed." he said.
Did he mean the pension should
go t those retired in the past and
those whose companies don't pay
into the welfare fund?
"Certainly sir. because it was in
behalf of those men that a pen
sion was negotiated."

Lt. Gen G S Lukanchenko.

rupt four-power rule of Germany.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the Ameri

WASHINGTON. March 30 -(A')
Henry A. Wallace accusd the
Truman administration today of
Uying to railroad this country
into a war which it could not
win.
The third party presidential
candidate charged that 'prepara
tions and plans for compulsory
military training arid the draft
do not differ" from those of the
leader, of Naii Germany.
Under ometimes caustic ques
tioning ir a three-hour es.ion
with the senate armed services

I see no threat to us from Rus
sian communism today."
He declared: "Russia has not
taken over Yugoslavia. Bulgaria.
Romania. Hungary, Czechoslovak
ia or Poland.-. The countries ihe
has taken over re Latvia, E
thonia " end "LttrTtrania."
And. he described the Truman
doctrine as a "program of un
limited aggression."
Sharply, Wallace said:
"I charge that an artificial
crisis was deliberately manufac
tured to stampede congress and
the people into accepting univer
sal military training and con
scription "
He said they were part of "a
political program to control the
American people.
Wallace spoke less than 24
hours after President Truman
suggested sarcastically that he go
, to the Soviet Union and help the
j Russians "against his own coun
try "
Wallace suggested at another
point that the men who nerved
in World War II could be called
. back into service if needed.
"I can understand how yod. as
a non-veteran, can make that
statement " said Chairman Gur
ney (R-SD) unsmilingly.
