Sen. Cain Accuses Davidson
Of Being CVA Evangelist
By CHARLES D. W ATKINS
Washington, March 9 ff) Senator Cain (R.-Wash.) Wednesday
accused C. Girard Davidson, assistant secretary of the interior,
of trying "to make himself the great evangelist' of the proposed
Columbia Valley administration and said again that he believes
Davidson had violated the anti-lobbying law.
Cain said a constituent had
complained to him that Davidson
"has been lobbying throughout
the northwest for a CVA while
supposedly on government busi
ness." The senator told a reporter
that he thereupon made inquiry
of Secretary of the Interior
Chapman and was informed that
Davidson had made 16 speeches
in the northwest during the 1949
calendar year.
Six were made in Portland,
Chapman said, and one each in
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
Vancouver, Wash., Eugene, Coos
Bay and Bend, Ore., Idaho Falls
and Boise, Idaho, and Missoula,
Mont.
During a committee hearing on
the administration plan to setup
the CVA to develop the Colum
bia river basin and take over all
army engineer and reclamation
bureau duties and projects in
the area, Cain charged David
son with violating the anti
lobbying law in speaking for the
measure.
Davidson had been named by
the president to present the plan
to congress.
Davidson has been mentioned
as a possible democratic candi
date to oppose Senator Morse
(R., Ore.) in Oregon this year.
He has declined to comment on
the reports.
"Davidson's travel schedule
last year was such as to make
any other man, who proposed
to run for office, wish he could
afford to take such trips," Cain
said.
"These trips by a government
official were made at a time
when the CVA legislation was
actively before congress and I
still maintain, as I did before
the senate public works commit
tee, that Davidson was violating
the law and should be prosecut
ed. The law of 1913 specifically
prohibits such carryings on by

German Surrender Refused by
Truman Just Before War's End
Washington, March 9 Wl President Truman refused a German
surrender offer 13 days before world war II ended in Europe.
In reporting this, Admiral William D. Leahy, presidential aide,
said the offer was made through Heinrich Himmler, chief of the
nazi storm troops, to the United States and Britain. Himmler
said he was willing to surrender-
all German troops on the west
ern front, including those in Hol
land, Denmark and Norway,
Leahy recalls.
Mr. Truman turned him down
in accord with the American
pledges to the Russians and the
British that nothing but full sur
render of all German forces to
all of the allies was acceptable.
Leahy's report on the incidents
preceding the final German sur
render appears in his book, "I
Was There," which is running
serially in the Saturday Evening
Post.

He recalls that early in the
afternoon of April 25, 1945 he
was called quickly to the care
fully guarded, highly secret com
munications room in the Penta
gon. He found President Truman,
Gen. George C. Marshall, and
Admiral Ernest King there. They
called Prime Minister Churchill
of Britain, on a direct wire into
No. 10 Downing Street, London
Churchill told them that
through the American minister
in Stockholm, H. V. Johnson, he
had learned that Himmler had
asked the late Count Bernadotte,
of Sweden, to make a peace
offer to Great Britain and the
U.S.
Himmler said the German gov
ernment was ready to surrender
all troops on the western front.
Leahy writes:
"Churchill reported that Him
mler said he was speaking for
the German government because
of the incapacity of Hitler, who
had suffered a cerebral hem
orrhage, and was not expected
to live for more than a few
days.
"Truman told the Prime Min
ister that America could agree
only to an unconditional surren
der on all fronts in agreement
with Russia and Britain. Church
ill said he was anxious to end
the war. Truman said he was
too but that America had to
stand by its commitments."
As the men concluded their
talk with Churchill, Leahv
writes, they received a direct
message from Johnson in Stock
holm, confirming Churchill's in
formation.
At the president's direction.
Leahy messaged Generalissimo
Stalin the details, suggestinc
that if the Germans would agree
to unconditional surrender, they
might surrender to allied com
manders in the field.
"Nothing came of this first
surrender negotiation." Leahv
comments.
. .
Mr. Truman stood firm on
wartime agreements again when
Churchill proposed soon after
occupation of Germany that the
occupation zones be rearranged.
Leahy recalls that Churchill
protested that most of the Ger
man food supplies were in the
Soviet zone.
Truman objected that this fact
had been known to all the three
Too Many Tax Bills
On Portland Ballot
Portland, March 9 VP) City
Commissioner Kenneth Cooper,
complaining about the "mud
dled" city tax proposals, moved
today to take a property tax
from the ballot.
"There are so many major tax
measures on the ballot that I
think there is danger the voters
will turn all of them down,
Cooper said. "We need money
but we'll never get it the way
we've gone about it so far.
He proposed leaving just one
tax measure on the city ballot:
An income tax with $1200 exemption.
Other proposed taxes were a
5 mill real property tax and an
increase in water rates.

allies during the many months in
which the allies had debated
zone boundaries.
He messaged Churchill: "A
demand by our governments for
modification of agreed zone
boundaries or for an agreement
on more equitable food distri
bution might have serious con
sequences. The Russians could
cartainly consider such a bar

of our formal agreement."
