Senate Studies
Truman Appeal
To Aid Balkans
Heads of State, Navy
And War Departments
Discuss Truman Plan
Washington, March 13 iff)
, Heads of the state, navy and war
departments discussed with the
senate foreign relations commit
tee behind closed doors today
President Truman's appeal for
$400,000,000 cash and indirect
military help for Greece and
Turkey,
War Secretary Patterson,
Navy Secretary Forrestal and
Acting State Secretary Acheson
brought along top aides to ex
plain details of the proposed
moves which some members of
congress openly declared might
lead eventually to war with Rus
sia.
Action to Be Delayed
To report on the military as
pects of the president's proposal
. to help train and sustain Greek
and Turkish troops, Forrestal
had Vice Admiral F. P. Sher
man, deputy chief of naval op
erations, with him.
Chairman Vandenberg said
the session was called "to can
vass the whole situation," but
that any action might be delayed
for some time.
"It is my understanding," he
said, "that the house will be
asked to act first on this legis
lation." He referred to measures
to carry out Mr. Truman's pro
posals.
Actually, Vandenberg said, the
senate group has not yet j-e-ceived
any bills dealing with the
subject..
No Bills Offered
"The plain truth is that Soviet-American
relationships are at
the core of this whole problem.
Vandenberg declared. "Every
effort should be made to ter
minate these controversies. This
effort must occur in plain un
derstanding of basic principles
which we shall not surrender.
Asserting that the independ
ence of Greece and Turkey must
be preserved "not only for their
own sakes but also in defense of
peace and security for all of us.
Vandenberg added that in this
critical moment "the president's
hands must be upheld.
Mr. Truman told congress
grimly yesterday that armed
communists and political infil
trations threaten the "very ex
istence" of Greece and Turkey.
Restrictions Sought
Although the Michigan sena
tor obviously was guided by a
desire to support the president's
proposal as fully as possible in
order to preserve the principle
of bipartisan foreign policy,
some of his democratic and re
publican colleagues made it
plain that strenuous attempts
will be made to write at least
some restrictions into legislation
to authorize loans to the two
countries.

Hungary and
Korea Next
Washington, March 13 WV-
War-torn Hungary and occupied
Korea loom biggest today on
any list of potential candidates
for extension of President Tru
man's declaration of support for
free peoples.
Officials of several govern
ment departments already are at
work on proposals to help these
two nations whose plight like
that of Greece and Turkey has
resulted at least in part from
Soviet Russia's expansive pres
sure. The foreign help which the
United States has extended
since V-E day suggests that a
elnhal nrnieption nf the nnlirv
Mr. Truman outlined yesterday
-to coneress mieht later include
China and Italy as well.
This government made plain
Its intent to bolster Hungary in
announcing a $15,000,000 sur
plus property credit last month,
and still later by voicing a sharp
protest against Russia's "direct
interference" in an attempt to
upset the "freely elected" dem
ocratic majority in the Buda
pest parliament.
Korea, a nation divided by
American and Russia occupa
tion zones, has a status some
what like Austria, but the
Koreans can qualify as a free
people under formal declara
tions of the wartime allies.
IMosquito Control
A joint Washington-Oregon in
terim committee to study mo
squito control along the Colum
bia river is requested in a reso
lution passed by the house and

to the senate today a memorial
asking congress to maintain ex
isting immigration quotas, but

Marshall Asks
Unified Law for
Denazification
Moscow, March 13 UP) Sec
retary of State Marshall, speak
ing on denazification before the
foreign ministers today, said
that the United States has "been
disturbed by frequent reports in
the Soviet zone of Germany that
former active nazis may be
cleared by joining the socialist
unity (communist) party."
Apparently speaking to fore
stall an expected Soviet attack
on American zone denazifica
tion, Marshall read a three-page
statement relating that 12,000,
000 persons have been registered
for investigation, 200,000 tried
and 370,000 removed from of
fice in the U. S. section of Ger
many. Nothing to Conceal
The secretary added that the
American zone denazification
"went far beyond allied control
authority directives," and assert
ed "there is nothing to conceal."
He pointed out allied control
council had not received full
reports on denazification in the
eastern (Soviet) zone of Ger
many and added "my govern
ment opposes the use of denazi
fication in favor of any political
party."
Marshall said lack of uniform
ity in denazification procedure
and practices led to distrust
among the occupying powers
and recommended that the for
eign ministers direct the allied
control council to adopt Uni
term laws on denazification.
Russians Promote Nazis
Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin
told the council that the British
had a list of 40 high nazis who
are holding important positions
in Germany's Soviet zone.

Renort Crisis
In Bulgaria
Istanbul, March 13 UP) Ru
mors of a crisis in Bulgaria cir
culated in Turkey today in con
nection with reported move
ments of foreign diplomatic
personnel.
Usually reliable sources said a
United States diplomatic courier
stopped at the Bulgarian fron
tier was told by a guard, "There
is a terrific crisis I can't say
more."
Unconfirmed reports ' mean
while said the French diploma
tic mission to Sofia had depart
ed that Bulgarian capital and
might I reach Istanbul today.
News dispatches earlier had re
ported a French protest against
Bulgarian treatment.
The U. S. courier, informants
said, was refused admission to
Bulgaria, despite his visa, by
authorities who declared they
were under instructions in his
case.
These sources said that a Pole
on the same train, identified
from his credentials as Council
lor Ludwik S. Bartel of the
Tehran Polish legation, was al
lowed to enter Bulgaria with his
wife and child after authorities
had telephoned Sofia.
They said the American re
turned here from Svilengrad,
where the incident had occurred
early this week, and left last
night for Cairo.
These sources reported the
Bulgars were curtailing all
movements sharply in a border
zone nine miles deep.
Truman's New Foreign Policy May
Affect Reduction of Armed Forces
Washington, March 13 P) President Truman's newly enun
ciated foreign policy confronted the United States today with the
problem of deciding quickly whether to continue reducing its
armed strength.
The address to congress car-
riea no implication that an
armed clash is expected or con
templated. However, the armed
forces are maintained for the
support of foreign policy in time
of peace
At the war and navy depart
ments no one was prepared to
say immediately what impact
any new foreign commitments
might have on the planned size
of the armed services. It was
pointed out, nevertheless, that
a critical time element is in
volved in at least two phases
01 tnis general question:
l should the planned aver
age strength for the year be
ginning next July 1 of 1,070,000
for the army and 571,000 for the
navy be carried out or should
the rate of reduction be checked
io siaomze me armed services
at a higher manpower figure?
2 In this case, will congress
ana tne White House proceed
with Mr. Truman's recommenda
tion of March 3 that selective
service be not renewed unnn iu
I expiration date of March 31?

Truman Rests
At Key West
On Vacation
Key West, Fla., March 13 iff)
President Truman loafed at this
naval submarine base today
while world capitals speculated
on the implications of his for
eign policy address to congress
yesterday.
Mr. Truman, who usually gets
up anywhere from 5:30 to 6:30,
slept until 8 o'clock this morn
ing, an hour later than his press
secretary, Charles G. Ross.
Ross said Mr. Truman has not
talked with Secretary of State
George C. Marshall, at Moscow,
since his speech calling upon the
United States to back "free peo
ples" in their resistance to com
munist encroachment in Greece,
Turkey and other trouble cen
ters. Favorable Telegrams
Marshall is expected to get in
touch with the president before
the chief executive returns to
Washington Sunday or Monday.
Presidential Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said about 20
telegrams, all favorable, were
forwarded to Mr. Truman at his
long week-end retreat here last
night. They came from individ
uals. The White House in Washing
ton reported the telegrams were
mounting into the hundreds by
mid-morning. Eben Ayers, as
sistant press secretary, described
them as "generally favorable."
"The president has absolutely
no plans while here other than
to loaf," Ross said.
Welcomed by Citizens
Presumably he will follow the
course he pursued here last No
vember, swimming at an outdoor
pool on the base in the morning,
Snd swimming and sunbathing at
a nearby beach in the afternoon.
The president, looking tired
after a strenuous two weeks in
which he delivered three major
addresses and held fateful con
ferences on the crisis in Greece
and Turkey, left Washington im
mediately after addressing con
gress. The civilian population of
Key West turned out virtually
en masse to welcome him, lining
the streets to cheer as his auto
mobile procession moved
through the town en route to
his quarters.
Greek Officials
Thank Truman
Athens, March 13 (U.R) Prime
Minister Demetrios Maximos
said today that Greece is eter
nally indebted to President
Truman and the American peo
ple for the president's offer of
aid.
"I am deeply touched by Mr.
Truman's message," Maximos
said. "Greece is wholly and
eternally indebted with grati
tude, to the president and the
American people."
The communists denounced
the American policy as "neo
fascist." Left wing newspapers
called it anti-democratic. Mod
erate opposition newspapers em
phasized the president's con
demnation of extremists on both
sides.
Mr. Truman's speech was
widely distributed. Morning
newspapers splashed it. Crowds
massed around radios to hear it
broadcast.
The Nation's military forces
are of definitely modest propor
tions in the area where the new
foreign policy focuses most
sharply, the Mediterranean.
On the ground that until
they receive a directive from
the president they will not
know the nature or extent of as
sistance that might be given
Greece and Turkey, war depart
ment officials declined to dis
cuss publicly the terms of Mr.
Truman's suggestions.
Pending further clarification
by Mr. Truman, his recommen
dation for "instruction and
training of selected Greek and
Turkish personnel" is assumed
to suggest a practice long fol
lowed by the army in the case
of some Latin American and
other nations. Under that prac
tice, selected army and air of
ficers of other nations come to
the United States for attendance
at army schools and expericnoe
in field operations of our army
to familiarize themselves with
American equipment and op
erations.

On a tour of industrial plants in Oregon, a group of newsmen

UN Boundary
Balkan Board
Lake Success, N. Y., March 13
(ff) Authoritative sources said
today that the United Slates may
propose the establishment of a
permanent United Nations boun
dary commission to watch over
the trouble spots in the Balkans.
These sources said U. S. offi
cials felt it may be advisable for
such a commission to watch the
borders of Greece, Yugoslavia,
Albania, and Bulgaria for some
time.
Such a step appeared to be
tied in closely with President
Truman's declaration on Ameri
ca's new foreign policy aimed at
halting the world march of com
munism, especially in the Bal
kans. . There., was. no. indication- just
how far the American delega
tion to the United Nations has
gone toward drawing up a plan
for a permanent UN boundary
commission. But authoritative
sources said it was under con
sideration. An American delegation
spokesman said the president's
proposals to aid Greece would
not conflict in any way with the
efforts of the UN security coun
cil's Balkan inquiry commission
now studying frontier conditions
in Greece, Albania, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia.
Indians Want
Vets' Benefits
Washington, March 13 iff)
Four Hopi Indians are here to
find out, they say, why the red
man can't participate fully in
veterans' benefits.
The Hopis and Navajos occupy
a vast area in northern Arizona
and New Mexico. They are
herdsmen, silversmiths, weavers
of blankets.
The Indians yesterday saw the
veterans' administrator, Gen.
Omar N. Bradley, and a sched
uled 15-minute talk lasted over
an hour.
They said they told him they
cannot get loans for housing, for
business or to buy livestock be
cause their only security is their
interest in tribal lands, of which
the federal government is trus
tee. They said the Indian schools
do not prepare them for the
white colleges and the Indian
colleges do not give them tech
nical or professional training!

Angell in Favor
Of Helping Greece
Washington. March 13 (IP)
Rep. Angell (R-Ore), said today
the question of relief for Greece
demands "immediate action."
"We are facing a crisis more
serious than any that has con
fronted us since Pearl Harbor,"
Angell said in a statement.
Unless the United States helps
Greece its present government
will fall, he said, and a com
munistic regime will take over.
"The result of such a move,"
he continued, "will give Soviet
Russia dominance in southeast
ern Europe, which will result in
control of the Dardanelles and
eventually Turkey and the east
ern Mediterranean with full
sway over the whole Middle
East."

Refuse to Send Oil
Machinery to Russia
Washington, March 13 (fP)
Chairman Taber (R-NY), said
today the house appropriations
committee has rejected a state
department request for author
ity to send $25,000,000 worth of
oil refining equipment to Rus
sia. The senate appropriations
committee turned down the re
quest earlier.
"We can't do such a tiling;
that's appeasement," Taber told
reporters.
The chairman said the equip
ment, mostly pipelines, was ob
tained for shipment to Russia
under lend-lease agreement but
had not been transported prior
I to last December 31.
I A provision in a 1946 lend-
lease appropriation prohibited
use of any administrative funds
for shipments after that date.
Taber said the slate department
asked authority to complete the
transaction anyway.

Coast Oil Lands
Lands in Court
Washington, March 13 VP)
The supreme court hears argu
ments today on the govern
ment's long-disputed claim to
submerge coastal oil lands wortlj
billions.
Attorney General Tom C.
Clark has asked the high tri
bunal to declare that the United
States holds title to lands ex
tending three miles seaward
from the low-water mark along
the California coast. The out
come of the case will determine
ownership of this land belt off
all the nation s coastline.
In addition to being the sub
jeet for years of conflicting
claims by federal and stale of
ficials, the dispute touched off
a public flareup in President
Truman's cabinet last year
which ended in Harold L. Ickes
resignation as secretary of the
interior.
Ickes testified before the sen
ale naval committee that Ed
win Pauley, California oilman,
told him in 1944 that he could
raise $300,000 in democratic
campaign contributions if the
government did not push its suit

Snyder Opposes
Any Tax Cut
Washington, March 13 UP)
Rep. Knutson (R-, Minn.) de
clared today that President Tru
man's foreign policy statement,
raising the possibility of heavy
new financial commitments
abroad, will not slop the repub
licans from cutting taxes.
He made this statement to re
porters after the house ways and
means committee, of which he
is chairman, heard Secretary of
the Treasury Snyder strongly
oppose any tax cut this year
Snyder said there might be
a tax cut later and told the com
mittee that this year, for the
first time since 1931, the gov
ernment's income may be as
large as its expenditures.
Knutson is author of a bill
for a 20 percent cut in personal
income taxes
As to the effect of President
Truman's statement, Knutson
said
"Of course if we arc going to
shoulder the burdens of the
world we could have no lax cuts
now or in the next generation
If we don't have a tax reduction
now we will never get it."
Snyder criticized Knutson's
bill specifically.
He said the administration
specifically opposes granting
now or any other time a pro
posed 20 percent "across the
board" tax cut on incomes up
to $303,000 a year

McNarney Rejects Soviet Charge
Of Maintaining German Troops
Frankfurt, March 13 (U.R) Gen. Joseph T. McNarney today
rejected a charge of Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov that
units of German troops were being maintained in the American
occupation zone of Germany
"We completely reject the ac
cusation," McNarney said when
asked for comment on Molotov's
reported assertion yesterday
that 9,000 Germans were being
maintained in auxiliary detach
ments in the U. S. zone.
McNarney is the retiring
military governor of the Ameri
can zone. He will turn over the
post Saturday to Lt. Gen. Lu
cius D. Clay, who is moving up
from the position of deputy
military governor.
He said that while the de
militarization of the zone was
"well on the way toward ac
complishment, the major tasks
are as yet only begun." Those
he described as the re-education
of the German people and set
ting up a peaceful and stable
German economy.
Amended Rural
School Bill
Sent to Senate
Measure Passes Unani
mously As Substitue for
Bill Passed by People
By James D. Olson
Without a dissenting vote, H.
B. 435, the rural school bill
substitute for House Bill 80 of
the 1945 legislative session, was
approved by the house today
and sent to the senate for con
siclcration.
H. B. 80, one of the most con
troversial bills of the 1945 ses
sion, was referred and approved
by a vote of the people. Be
cause of passage of the basic
school bill, it was found necos
! sary to amend H. B. 80, with the
result that the house education
committee has been working on
proposed amendments for eight
weeks.
The amended rural school bill
extends the time of its operation
to January 1. 1949, Rep. Colon
Eberhard of the education com
mittee explaining that this was
felt necessary in order that two
new systems of school financing
would not be started at the same
time.
Under the proposed rural
school bilt approved by the
house this morning, rural school
districts containing a number of
rural schools would be set up
with an elected budget board for
the district considering the in
dividual school budgets within
the district and setting a uni
form district school levy. The
individual schools would be em
powered to pass budgets for cer
tain added activities such as kin
dergarten classes or other sim
ilar features. First class school
districts are excluded from the
plan.
"I do not think that any mem
ber of the education committee
is enamored with this bill," Rep.
Eberhard said. "Many county
school superintendents would
like to kill House Bill 80. How
ever, the voters approved the
bill and the committee felt that
it was duty-bound to draw up
such amendments as to make the
rural school district plan work
able." Welfare Tax Costs
Governor Snell called a clos
ed conference today when the
$16,000,000 public welfare
problem was discussed. Follow
ing the conference the governor
announced thai a sub-commit
tee had been appointed to work
out a bill to require counties to
levy certain millagc tax to cov
er welfare costs.
Details of this bill together
with the amount of the maxi
mum levy are to be worked out
by the committee, Governor
SneU said, after which the main
committee will again meet. At
tending the conference were
the chairmen of the ways and

The winners held a 24-17 mar
gin over Astoria at the half. Bob

12.
McNarney also rejected a
protest by the Polish govern
ment on the maintenance of
"Polish guard units" which the
army has armed to guard sup
plies and military installations.
"We have every intention of
maintaining such Polish units as
are needed in the United States
zone," he said.
However, he added that mem
bers of the units could go home
to Poland any time they de
sired. Camps fur displaced persons
in the U. S. zone will bo con
tinued until they are repatriated
or resettled, McNarney said.
Molotov had said that a deci
sion had been reached to remove
displaced persons from camps
and deny them special privileges.
Oregon House
Passes 2 Cents
Tax on Cigarets
Expect to Raise $4 Mil
lion 2 Year Limit Plac
ed to Stop Referendum
By Paul W. Harvey, Jr.
The Oregon house of repre
sentatives, without debate,
passed 53 to 5 today the bill
to tax cigarets 2 ccnis a pack
age for the next two years only,
and thus raise $4,000,000 for
the state's general fund for the
next biennium.
The bill, coupled with a previously-approved
measure to let
the tax commission take its $1,
000,000 expenses out of revc
nues, cuts the general fund defi
cit to $5,000,000.
Both measures still must be
approved by the senate.
5 Vote Against Bill
Voting against the cigaret tax
were Barry, R. A. Bennett,
Wiley, Wilhelm, and Manley
Wilson.
Rep. Robert C. Gile, Rose
burg, chairman of the house as
sessment and taxation commit
tee, told the house the commit
tee put the two-year limit on
the bill In the hope it would
stop a referendum attack against
it. The people defeated a simi
lar bill two years ago by a nar
row margin.
The senate defeated 19 to 9
a bill to extend the unemploy
ment compensation law to all
employers. The law now applies
to employers of four or more
persons, but other employer
may come under the act if they
wish.
Suspend Vet Loans
The house adopted and sent
to the senate a bill suspending
operation of state educational
loans for veterans between next
July 1 and July 1, 1949. The
sponsors said the law would not
be needed during that period
because federal loans will be
available, and that the state law
might be placed into operation
again after the federal govern
ment stops its educational loans
to veterans.
Another house bill sent to the
senate would let the state land
board make reclamation surveys
to reclaim its swamp or over
flow lands for grazing or agri
culture.
Governor of
Wisconsin Dies
Madison, Wis., March 13 U.R)
Gov. Walter S. Goodland,
oldest governor in the nation's
history who proudly told voters
he was a "tough old codger,'
died suddenly last night of a
heart attack. He was 84.
Goodland was stricken In his
bedroom at the executive man
sion as he prepared to retire
at 10:30 p.m. His wife, Mrs.
Madge Goodland, summoned
his physician, but Goodland died
almost immediately.
Death began and ended the
stormy governorship of the
huge, stooped man who was
liked by Wisconsin voters be
cause he preserved his indepen
dence whether it meant fighting
the state legislature- or his own
party organization.
A republican, he had served
as Wisconsin s governor since
1943, when he took office as
acting governor after the death
of Gov-elect Orland S. Loomis.
Goodland was re-elected in
1944 and again in 1946.
Attacked by his opponents as
"too old," Woodland told the
voters last fall that he was In
better physical shape than when
he took office.
"If I didn't think I could
serve out my term. I wouldn't
run again," he said. At his
inauguration last January, he
said he would retire after this
term to let a younger man take
over.
