GONZALES Unltt4 Freii Stiff Wrller WASHINGTON (U.R) Provi dent Roosevelt gave British Prime Minister Winston Churchill "some sort of assurance" before Pearl Harbor that the United States would go. to war with Japan, ac cording to the memoirs of the late Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. The Michigan Republican's memoirs also disclosed that Presi dent Truman considered calling Soviet Premier Josef Stalin "on the phone" a month before the 1948 presidential election in a bid for closer U. S.-Soviet friendship THESE OTHER disclosures are contained in Vandenberg's private papers, which will be published in book form Tuesday: Mr. Roosevelt, at. the 1943 Quebec Conference with Chur chill, gave Britain a wartime veto over American use of atomic bombs. This required Mr. Truman to get British approval before A bombs were' dropped on Hiro shima and Nagasaki in 1945. The veto was eliminated in January, 1948. Mr. Truman told Vandenberg and others at a high level confer ence on July 14, 1949, that this government proposed giving Britain "a full partnership" on atomic energy "including sharing the 'know-how' on weapons mak ing." Vandenberg successfully op posed tne proposal. Vandenberg had high hoDes that Gen. Douglas' MacArthur would be the 1944 Republican presidential nominee. In 1949, Vandenberg ex pressed the opinion that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower might be the GOP presidential nominee this year. Vandenberg. at the 1940 Re- puDiican convention, rejected an offer by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey io ne. Dewey s running mate and countered with a proposal that Dewey be Vandenberg's running mate or that they flip a coin to see wno should head the ticket. Wendell L. Willkie won the nomi nation. Vandenberg frequently made acid comment about presidents Roosevelt and Truman, Sens-. Rob ert A. Taft (R-Ohio), and Tom Connally (D-Tex), Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and other prominent public figures. Vandenberg went to the 1948 GOP convention with an accept ance speech "to be available in the totally unexpected event of my nomination." THE 559-PAGE book, entitled "The Private Papers of Senator Vandenberg," consists of docu ments and personal correspond ence from 1939 to his death from cancer on April 18, 1951. This period covered Vandenberg's transition from an isolationist to an outright supporter of interna tional collaboration. In a Jan. 27. 1942. dinrv pntru Vandenberg wrote that Churchill had won "some sort of assurance" from Mr. Roosevelt that the "U. S. would go to war with Japan, re gardless whether Japan attacked us or not. in still other words, we were slated for this war by trie President before Pearl Harbor. The major objective of British diplomacy , . . has been to get us into the war. Even we in the Sen ate can't find out what is going on. This is Roosevelt's nrivate war." DETAILS OF the hitherto secret idea of a Truman-Stalin nhnno can were contained in an Oct. 5, 1948, diary entry. Vandenberff wrote that Mr. Truman personally called him and Connally to the. wnite House and "chatted inform ally about the possibility he might call Stalin on the phone' overseas arid see what he could do with him." This was after the abortive plan to send Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson to Moscow. Vandenberg said he "made no comment except to say that I thought a bilingual phone conversation would be rather difficult." The call was not made.

Farm Census Shows Drop WASHINGTON OP) The lure of big city life has reduced America's farm population by al most one-third since 1920, says the Census Bureau. There are fewer farms but more land under culti vation. The number of people living on farms fell from 31,614,269 in 1920 to 23,331,337 in 1950, the Bureau reported, and the Agriculture De partment said the trend is contin uing. . With fewer farm boys and girls following their parents' ' way of life, the number of farms in the United States has declined about one million in the past three dec ades. Dr. Roy B. Peel, census di rector, told a reporter the farm total has been falling off about 35,000 a year since World War I to 5,382,162 in 1950.

Here is truly dramatic proof that Chrysler's great new FirePower 180 HP V-8 engine design sets an entirely new standard of efficiency among American passenger car engines! In this annual economy test, rigidly supervised, and limited strictly to stock car entrants, cars competing are divided, by price and size, into 11 standard classes. The route, from Los Angeles to Sun Valley, covered 1,415 miles of every possible kind of driv ing. Average speed for all cars was just under 41 miles per hour. And in 3 of the 11 classes, the Chrysler V-8 engine was best for gasoline mileage. In Class "F", this magnificent new engine won first place for a Saratoga 6-passenger sedan (1253-inch wheel base, 4010 pounds). In Class "H", it won first honors for a Saratoga model 8-passenger sedan (1392-inch wheel base, 4510 pounds). And in the top price and size, Class "I", it was again first, in a Chrysler Crown Imperial Sedan (145J-inch wheelbase, 5360 pounds). To travel these substantial cars at this speed under these conditions gives additional proof, we believe, that here in the FirePower V-8 engine is the finest and most efficient engine ever put into an American passenger car! . WE INVITE YOU TO DRIVE THIS ENGINE, YOURSELF . . . The same engine which has just scored these remarkable accomplish ments is no farther from you than your own Chrysler Dealer. He will welcome the chance to let you take the wheel and feel for yourself what Chrysler has done . .'. not only in engine performance, but in power steering, power brakes, new Oriflow shock absorbers, and passenger com fort ... to deserve the title: "Finest Car America Has Yet Producedl" CHRYSLER the finest car America has yet produced f iMtnu MAY & MEAD CO. 857 PEARL STREET PI30HE 4-5221 1ov.Tv:i,IpVvv;ou,.v.uL.KNTuc
