CONG. LUCE FLAYS
SOVIET TACTICS
New York, May 28. (U.F9
Reo. Clare ' Bootha Luce, R,
Conn., said last night that Rus
sian communism, employing ter
roristic techniques similar to
that used in Naziism, was sweep
ing Europe.
Mrs. Luce urged the United
States to use all its power to sup
' port anti-communist govern
ments in nations to which it has
military or diplomatic access.
Speaking before the men's
faculty club of Columbia univer
sity, she said the world had
nothing to fear from the Russian
people. She said they themselves
are victims of communist tech
niques. But it Is time, she added,
that "we drew a moral balance
sheet on communism."
Russian policy in Europe, she
said, has meant "exile or death
to everybody in every country
occupied by the Soviet, regard
less of that person's political be
liefs, if he does not follow the
Soviet program."
' . She said the Russian policy
included arming of ' any discon-

tented minority which would
support the Soviet program.
"For the men of the Kremlin,
truth is what Stalin says it is on
Monday, and it may be some
thing else again on Tuesday,
she said. Mrs. Luce recently re
turned from a tour of European
battlefronts.
"No bloody Nazi nonsense
darkens our mind about the fact
that what the Nazis did was
murder," she said. 'Nor should
any gory twaddle of the com
munists deceive us that such
deeds are not murder too. And
murder is evil."
Mrs. Luce said 13 nations In
central Europe already were
controlled by communists. She
warned that Italian communists
may be able to take over that
nation by terrorization after the
withdrawal of American and
British forces.

Oslo, May 28 U.R) People
who used to know him well said
today that Vldkun Quisling ap
parently was suffering from de
lusions of grandeur and a perse
cution complex.
, At least two prominent law
yers who knew Quisling when
he was a brilliant Norwegian
army officer said that he had
suffered a mental breakdown.
They based their opinion on his
behavior at his hearing Satur
day. The man whose name came to
mean traitor seemed intent on
fighting for his life, probably by
trying to shift the blame on
Josef Terboven, Navi governor
of Norway.
Oslo authorities announced
that the body of Terboven, who
committed suicide, definitely
had been Identified in the air
raid shelter at the Skaugum pal
ace of Crown Prince Olaf. Ter
boven and SS Chief Wilhelm
Reidess blew themselves up with
dynamite on May 9.
The decision delivered Satur
day to hold Quisling until Aug.
25 gives the state three months
to prepare its case against him.
He may appeal that ruling be
fore next Sunday to an informal
court consisting of three mem
bers of the supreme court. If his
appeal is denied, he will have
no further recourse until his for
mal trial, which District Attor
ney Annaeus Schioeth said he
hoped could be held within two
months.
What the Girl Scouts

Ont of the most impressive
of the Girl Scout ceremonies,

Stephanie Miksche was the

each Brownie, the Brownie was
magically changed into a Girl
Scout.
Mary Anne Clark, the trum
peter, announced the names of
the younger scouts.
Mrs. Carl Norris, Brownie
leader from the Oak Grove dis
trict, gave words of farewell to
the 60 Brownies as their leaders
pinned Brownie wings upon each
"Fly Up."
Upon the back lawn Girl
Scouts and leaders met their 60
new members. Mrs. Ruth Mc-
Cormick, leader of St. Mary's
troop eleven, welcomed the new
intermediate scouts while Girl

AS CRISIS WITH
London, May 28 U. Dis
patches from the Levant today
reported bloody skirmishing be
tween the French and natives at
Horns and Hama, with an unspe
cified number of casualties on
both sides.
The tension in Syria and Leb
anon exploded in violence, ac
cording to Beyrouth advices,
coincident with a report in diplo
matic quarters here that Pres
ident Truman might be called
upon to mediate the dispute.
Reports that French troops
were withdrawn from Home,
Hama and Aleppo to camps on
the outskirts were followed by
dispatches which said shooting
had broken out in the first two
towns. She combatants were
natives, demonstrating for the
full independence of the Levant,
and unspecified French groups,
apparently the troops.
Damascus reports relayed
through Beyrouth said telephone
linss to both Horns and Hama
had been cut, and details of the
bloodshed were lacking.
PRESIDENT ASKS
Washington, May 28. (U.RI
President Truman today urged
congress to close what he de
scribed as a major gap in the
reconversion program "the
lack of adequate benefits for
workers temporarily unemploy
ed during the transition from
war to peace."
He proposed that congress act
at once to assure war workers,
through supplementation of state
unemployment benefits, of 26
weeks of payments in any one
year if they are jobless that long.
He proposed at least $25 a week
for unemployed workers with
dependents.
He recommended specifically
that congress:
1. Take emergency action to
widen the coverage of unemploy
ment conpensation and to in
crease the amount and duration
of benefits at least for the dur
ation of the emergency period
of reconversion.
2. Extend unemployment com
pensation coverage to include
federal employes, maritime
workers and other workers not
now insured.
3. Provide supplementary
emergency funds to assure each
eligible worker 26 weeks of
benefits in any one year, if un
employed that long.
CLAlTMEDGE
Washington, May 28 flJ.R) U.
S. support of Argentina's admit
tance to the United Nations con
ference at San Francisco violat
ed a pledge given by the late
President Roosevelt to Premier
Josef Stalin, according to Her
bert Elliston, associate editor of
the Washington. Post.
Elliston asserted in a broad
cast last night that in a conver
sation at Yalta on the projected
conference, the Soviet premier
said to Mr. Roosevelt, "You're
not planning to name Argentina,
I hope." The late president's
answer, Elliston said, was "Cer
tainly not."
Elliston said a "deal" to bring
Argentina into the San Fran
cisco meeting was "made in a
smoke-filled room in Mexico
City" during the Chapultcpec
conference. Russia, he said, was
not consulted.

The U. S. navy -la building an
additional 20,000 warships to
give it a total of 127,000 ships

This gigantic number of ships
would be sufficient if placed end
to end to make a virtually un
broken bridge from San Fran
cisco to Vokohama, Japan.
It will provide the vast arma
das for the invasions of China
and the Japanese homeland
some 5,000 miles from American
shores.
