Illegally Ordered
Troops to Korea
WASHINGTON. April 7 - UPI
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) charged to
night the Truman administration
is assuming the power to declare
war without approval of congress
or the people.
And that, he said, could make
the president "a complete dictator
over the welfare of the nation.
- Speaking at a George Washing
ton university law association
banquet, Taft urged "a return to
genuine respect for basic law, Just
ice and the constitution of the
United States
He said every constitutional au
thority he has talked to and he
has conferred with many agrees
that President Truman Illegally
sent American troops to war in
Korea. 4
"They sleep on pallets, or on
oeaspnngs, or zolding cots. -
And there are about 1,000,000
of them. : ,
The "wetbacks' are so-called
because a lot of them swim or
wade the Rio Grande, to enter this
country illegally. - ' "
"Recently, it saysj "the Invad
ers have spread to virtually a$
states of the union. ;
"Before 1JP44, wetbacks were
employed chiefly at hand labor in
agriculture: now ther are Infil
trating a wide range of non-farm
jobs .: . . pushing wages down . .
displacing American workers . . ,
causing an astoundinzly high dl
sease and death rate in the coun
ties next to the border.

Solon Opposes
Parity Change
WASHINGTON", April 7 - (fP)
Senator Maybank (D-SC) declared
tonight he will fight any adminis
tration move to freeze farm parity
as a method of curbing food prices.
He made the statement under
circumstances which appeared to
herald a farm bloc drive in con
gress to prevent any j tampering
with the parity program.
Maybank said farmers income
has shrunk $5,000,000,000 since
1948, and added:
"There has been an outrageous
campaign waged to deceive and
fool the people of the United
States, to have them believe that
parity prices are largely respon
sible for Inflation. ri
