Truman said Acheson is the best man for the job in the entire United States. The Legion's resolution, he went on to say, was gotten up by some young boys and they got it passed by a silent vote. What he meant by the latter, he didn't say. CHILDREN OF GOD' The outgoing commander, Don ald R. Wilson, declared in his re tiring address: "I am aefvised that there are persons who say this convention was conducted by a group of chil dren. I would remind any such person who ma'kes such a state ment that, if we are children, we are children of God, and children who fought for this country, and we don't need instruction from anybody else." At a news conference following his election as the new national Legion commander, Lewis K. Gough of Pasadena, Calif., assert ed leadership in the State Depart ment "has been inept." Informed of the President's statement Acheson was best qual ified for the State Department post, Gough said: 'LEADERSHIP INEPT' "I say leadership in the State Department has been inept and has lacked courage. The results are indicative of this. "In addition, it is extremely important to note the people of this country have lost confidence in our state Department leaders, which is indeed a serious situation in such critical times." In his retirement address, Wil son also took a whack at Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee. In an address to the Legion Wednesday, Stevenson had said "I stand to resist pressure from veterans, too, if I think their de- I mands are excessive or in conflict with the public Interest. . ." 'FOUGHT AND BLED' Taking note of this Wilson de clared: "We deny that when we stand up and fight for the rights of vet erans who fought and bled for this country that we are pressur ing." The big 34th annual conven tion, which brought an estimated 100,000 Legionnaires into town, ended its proceedings at 5:37 p.m. One of its last acts was to call for a Congressional probe of na tional Selective Service head quarters, to find out if it is putting "improper political pressure" on local draft boards. 0 I J I 1 4 .

The rare agreement between Russia and the Western powers was reached by the Executive Committee of the four-power Allied Control Council for Austria, it was an nounced Friday. The vetoed law was one of seven recent Austrian statutes which have come under fire from much of the world's press, the U. S. State Department and Jewish leaders. The four occupation powers ap proved three other laws aiding cer tain victims of nazism but asked the Austrian government to broad en them to include thousands of Nazi victims who no longer hold Austrian citizenship. Still awaiting Allied action are three other controversial laws granting amnesties and returning property to 34,000 former Austrian Nazis. Jewish leaders have termed these a "reversal to nazism" and the U. S. State Department said it was greatly disturbed" by them. 'RE-ACQUISITION LAW The Austrian government for several years has been trying to get approval of the "re-acquisi- tion law" rejected by the occupa tion powers. It would have per mitted courts to reopen all cases of property restitution since the war, thus threatening Nazi victims who lost property under Hitler and got it back after the war. The law, said a State Depart ment official here, would have "le galized many forced seizures of property under the Nazis.' PROVTDE PAYMENTS Two of the three approved laws for compensation of political vie WASHINGTON (U.R) Former Sen. Millard E. Tydings (D-Md.) Friday accepted an "invitation" to debate "McCarthyism" with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy in Wisconsin. "The question is," said Tydings, 'is McCarthy going to meet me?" At Milwaukee, the Wisconsin Renublican commented, "I don't think I can waste time debating with the dead." Tydinos. defeated in 1950 by Sen. John M. Butler (R-Md.), said in a statement, "the newspapers say McCarthy has invited me to come to Wisconsin so tne gooa people there can look me over." Although he has received no direct bid from McCarthy, Tydings said he accepted the "invitation" with "great pleasure." Tydings, who has charged that his defeat In 1950 was due to False lies and propaganda" spread by McCarthy, said he wanted McCarthy on the debating platform with him at Wisconsin. I want him there," Tydings said, "so I can have him face to face in a debate which will expose and show up once and for all the fraud and deceit he has practiced on the fine people of Wisconsin and the nation." Tydings said he would "show the Sparkman Cites Demos' Record MENDENHALL, Miss. (P) Sen. John Sparkman skipped the touchy civil rights issue in open ing his vice presidential campaign before a deep South audience Thursday night. The Alabama senator's blanket defense of the Democratic plat form was the nearest he came to the subject. The party platform that has caused strife among many South ern Democrats contains a pro posed Fair Employment Practice Commission, antl-lynch and anti- poll tax planks. ALL WALKS OF LIFE' "I realize there may be things in the Democratic platform that all of us cannot agree upon, he told an audience estimated at be tween 3,000 and 5,000 in the Men denhall High School football stadium. "But remember that this party of ours is made up of free people from all walks of life with many divergent beliefs." Sparkman recently was called traitor to the South" for his !ms Pvide for payments to inuusanas or government employes dismissed or demoted by the Doll- fuss regime prior to 1938 or by the Nazis after 1938.

This is in addition to monthly pensions of 616 schll- lings (S23.48) already being paid ior iormer camp inmates. support of the platform. His crit ics, dissatisfied Mississippi Demo crats, formed a Democrats-for-Eisenhower movement and bolted the regular party. Sparkman devoted most of his speech to "what the Democratic party has done for the people of this nation." But he took the time for a few swings at the Republicans. "About the only issue the Re publicans can raise is their cry that it's time for a change," he said. "WHAT TO WHAT "But you people can ask them you will ask them a change from what to what?" The senator then listed benefits he said the Democratic party has given the country. Sparkman also defended the United Nations in Korea. Gen. Douglas MacArthur and even Gen. Eisenhower, who cer tainly could not be considered supporters of our party, have said that we could not have upheld our honor and stayed out of Korea," he asserted. Terrorists' Thwarted LAPAZ, Bolivia (rP) The Bo livian government announced Thursday night it had crushed a "terrorist plan" to overthrow President Victor Paz Estenssoro and other officials. Now It's Your Move Judge SACRAMENTO, Calif. (P) About a year ago a medical doc tor who was listed in the city di rectory as a chiropractor asked Superior Judge Grover T.

(P) Eighteen- year-old Adela Moskal was bur ied Thursday after a life of con stant pain. Her father, who had killed her to end her years of suf fering, sobbed at her grave. John Moskal sent his wife on a shopping errand Monday, then led Adela into the bathroom and plunged a butcher knife into her heart. The girl had shown only little development since birth. The father and mother stood dry-eyed while a priest read the burial service for children. But when a friend raised her voice in a prayer in Polish, Moskal wept and seized Adela s body in his arms. He is free in $5,000 bond on a charge of murder.
