Morse Tells Barkley New 'Turtle Story' WASHINGTON. Oct. 22 -MV . Senator Morse (R-Ore) told the senate in Its closing hours he hop ed Vice President Barkley would visit Oregon -soon but urged Bark ley not to repeat his turtle story he told on his last visit Morse said he hoped that at least it would be a story more helpful to his reelection. In the 1948 campaign, Barkley in pacing through . Oregon said Morse reminded him of a 'turtle that was going down the road with his neck stuck out in front of him. A couDle of boys. Barkley continued, discovered the turtle and tut off its head but the turtle kept risht on plodding down the road. Dida't Know Difference Yod know." Barkley said at the tinw. "the turtle didn't know - the d fference and that reminds me of my good friend and col lea 2i 'c. Wayne Morse." "I want to assure the vice president that his story did not help me in my state among the republicans." Morse said. "Now I assume that the vice president as presiding "officer over the senate has now become so non-partisan that he will want to help me become renominated in the next election." Aks Correction "If the senator will permit the chair to correct the story." Bark ley interposed. "An argument arose as to whether "the turtle was dead or not. One boy said he was dead because .his head was cut off but the other said he was not dead because he was still crawling. They called in a third who said he was dead but didn't know it. The vice' president was intimating that the senator from Oregon was a democrat but didn't know it." r "That is a new version," Morse replied. ,lhope the vice president will not make, his correction in my state." Morse told Barkley that demo crat and republicans alike will be happy to welcome him to Oregon.

Congress of American Women Branded as 'Another Red Hoax' By William T. Arbogast WASHINGTON, Oct 22 The house un-American activities committe today stamped the Congress of American Women "just an other communist hoax" to mislead "gullible women." In a formal report the committee said the group's chief pur pose "is to act as part of a world-wide pressure mechanism, among women, in support of Soviet foreign and domestic policy." The committee said it aims to "ensnare idealistically minded but politically gullible women." The committee said the organ ization was launched on March 8. 1946, In New York City and claims chapters in Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit Phil adelphia, Washington, New York and other cities. Cere ef Commaaisia "The Congress of American Women," the committee declared, "is composed primarily of a hard core of communist party members and a circle of close sympathizers, and although it numbers but a few thousand members all told, it has been highly articulate and ener getic in its anti-American, pro Soviet propaganda. Hence It is all the more necessary that American women be alerted to its true char acter and aims." In New York tonight Dr. Gene Weltfish called the committee re port 'nonsense, fantastic." Dr. Welt fish said she now is honorary president of the CAW after serv ing three years as president Wmen N4 GallibU "American women are not gul lible," she said. "They cannot be misled. Neither Is there a "hard core of communist party mem bers' as the committee says."

Sunday, Oct 23 -WV-Powerful Chinese communist armies today were reported stream ing westward foe m-;or blows at the last nationalist strongholds in western and southwestern China. Chinese press reports said the second field army of Red Gen. Liu Po-Cheng. conqueror of Nankin, was moving up for an assault on Szech wan province, site of the re fuge capiul of Chungking. The accounts said Liu had mov ed his field headquarters from Nanking to an undisclosed point. tions. iThe communist forces of Gen. Lin Piao still were thrusting south westward in pursuit of the 200,000 - man army of Gen. Pai Chung-Hsi, which is holed up in Kwangsi. southwestern Chinese province. As the red neared the Kwangsi border, the press reported Pai had moved his headquarters from Kwe ilin, the provincial capital, to Yungning (Nanning). within 100 miles of the Indochina border. General Lin also was said to be sending a second strong force due westward toward the border of Kwcichow province. The aim here seems to be to split the nationalist force, since Kweichow lies be tween Kwangsi and Chungking's Sxechwan province. It is expected that Gen. Peng Teh-Huai's communist armies in northwest China will strike across Szechwan's northern border to ward Chungking.
