LONDON, July S--Romanla
announced today that she has or
dered American Bishop Gerald P.
o Hara, last Vatican diplomat in
an Iron curtain country, and bis
two chief aides to leave in three
days. ;
The soviet satellite charged that
the Nunlciature, the Vatican's di
plomatic mission, was a center of
Anglo-American espionage
against Romania. Hungary and
Czechoslovakia.
The action was no surprise to
the Vatican. A Romanian source
at Vatican city said a week ago
that Romanian authorities had
been trying to get rid of the 65
year-old . bishop for months and
that the outbreak in Korea "prob
ably persuaded the regime to
make an end of his case." -
The Romanian news agency At
erpress said in the broadcast the
Romanian foreign office told Bl
shop O'Hara yesterday he must
luit the country by Friday. Oust
ed with him were Msgr. Delmestr
de Chonbert the Italian auditor.
and Msgr. John Kirk, the Amer
ican secretary of the Nunciature,
Both Bishop O'Hara and Msgr.
kjtk are from the diocese of Sa
vannah-Atlanta, Ga.
The Romanian foreign office
based its spying charges on the
treason trial of seven persons who
were sentenced only last night

Truman Hopes
For Break in
Railway Strike
CHICAGO, July 5-CflVPresident
Truman was reported as hopeful of
a break In the railroad strike, but
it didn't come today.
A spokesman for the striking
AFL switchmen's union said, "We
met with the national (railway)
mediation board but we made no
appreciable progress.'
Earlier today, Senator Darby
(R-Kan.), after a conference with
the president in Washington, said
he-is hopeful the strike Is near
an end.
He said Mr. Truman told him
everything possible is being done"
and what the president is hopeful
of developments which will be
-good news."
Some 4,000 switchmen walked
out June 25 on five western and
midwestern railroads, demanding a
40 hour work week at 48 hours
pay. .
A presidential fact-finding board
had recommended a. 40 hour week
for them and for 75,000 other yard
workers but at a wage increase of
only 18 cents an hour.
In Washington Senator Morse
(R-Ore.) again urged President
Truman to call on both sides in
the switchman's strike "to sit down
and work out a settlement."
He told the senate he believed
agreement could be reached with
in five hours if the president, as
commander-in-chief, told the un
ion and the carriers that he wished
the dispute settled at once.
Morse maintained that "we art
at war" because of the fighting in
Korea and said "the time has come
for us to get our economy in shaoe
just as fast as we can to meet any
emergency that may develop."

Repercussions of the Korean sit
uation as affecting military re
cruiting and reserves in Salem ap
peared spotty Wednesday with the
navy apparently most in aemana.
The navy recruiting station was
processing about 25 sets of papers
for enlistment applicants, and at
taches said the office had had
three "big days" in the past two
weeks, with considerably heavier
activity than usual. The youths.
mostly above high school age, are
ready to go as fast as they can be
processed, it was said, rather than
merely inquiring for information.
Army recruiters said that this
period, about a month after high
school graduations, is usually
above normal for enlistments.
They pointed . out that inquiries
have increased considerably from
women, some of whom are pro
ceeding toward enlistment
Inquiries were reported heavy
also at the navy reserve headquar
ten, where some reservists were
reported interested in moving on to
active duty.
However, there was no evident
rush to sign up with any of the
reserve groups, of which Salem
has army, navy surface, Seabees,
navy air and marines. Most of the
units have vacancies, some of them
for highly rated individuals.

Wheat ended lower, corn

Koreana hostilities broke out, have

A technical reaction was to be ex

WASHINGTON. July j S -flV
Secretary of State Acheson said
today his department has drafted
plans for "a great campaign of
truth to counter the Moscow-
directed broadsides of propagan
da against the United States.
The program was drawn up in
response to recent orders given the
state , department by President
Truman. The Latter is now con
sidering the plan.
Acheson told about lt tn testi
mony before a, senate foreign re
lations subcommitte which: is con
siderlng a resolution by Senator
Benton (D-Coon.) for a vastly ex
panded "voice oi America" pro
gram. . ' i
Other witnesses Included Gen.
George C. Marshall, Gen.: Dwight
D. Eisenhower and John Foster
Dulles.
All strongly endorsed Benton's
proposal for .a "Marshall plan of
ideas." i r '
Even as they testified, dispatch
es from Moscow told of angry
headlines in the controlled Soviet
press denouncing the American
action In Korea and mobilizing
public Indignation against the
United States. i
One Moscow newspaper quoted
a woman speaker as saying Presi
dent Truman: would "pay for his
crimes In the same way Hitler
had.". !
After testifying on Capitol Hill,
Acheson told a news conference
there was not a shred of truth In
Moscow claims that South Korea
started the 'fighting. V
"Any contention that hostilities
were started by the Republic of
Korea is clearly in the category
of the Nazi claims of 1939 that Po
land started hostilities by attack
ing Nazi Germany," he 'said.
Asked about reports that -Rus
sia might be planning to move
against oil-rich Iran in the Mid
die East, Acheson told newsmen
he had, no indication of trouble
in that sector of the world. ;
Gen. Eisenhower told the sen
ate committee that Intervention of
U. S. armed forces in Red-invaded
Korea has been so twisted by So
viet propaganada that it has been
made to look like a "vicious" act
