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.
SAN FRANCISCO (IP) Henry
von Morpurgo was convicted Sat
urday of .taking approximately
$90,000 from Sister Kenny Polio
Foundation collections after pro
moting them by careless use of
such big names as Radio-Movie

The specific charge on which he
was found guilty by a Federal
Court jury was mail fraud based
on appeals sent through the mails.

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.

-- fl Chrysler V-8 Saratoga Sedan, gasoline economy winner
J- ifmnnltTTinn '""f" V,ib$' !:'gltjt I in Class "F". Entered and driven in the 1952 Mobiloil Gas :iv
,?jvHgBB;. . ' - jSggfiBF H Economy Run by Chrysler Dealer Mel Alsbury, Hollywood.
". ' - e I ?ne f Chrysler FirePower VS's to win in their
180 hp CHRYSLER 8 FIRST
IN 3 CLASSES 1 IN ECONOMY RW!
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"
