Britain Asks Removal Of Russian Diplomat London (U.R) Britain to day asked the Kremlin to get a high Soviet diplomat who ob tained state secrets from a Brit ish spy out of the country within a week. Recall of Pavel Kuznetsov, sebond secretary of the Russian embassy here, was demanded in a note handed to the .Soviet Charge D' Affaires today by the British Foreign Office. Kuznetsov was linked with Foreign Office Employee Wil liam Martin MarshaU who was convicted of betraying his coun try's secrets to Russia and was sentenced to five years in prison on last Thursday. The Soviet diplomat was ar rested with MarshaU as the two kept a cloak-and-dagger rendez vous in a London park last June 13. The Russian obtained his release on a claim of diplomatic immunity.

Schneider that access points to Rogue river will be made available to fishermen is welcome news in deed in these parts. Public access is of major for the unique stream provides year around angling for runs of winter and summer steemead, spring and fall Chinook, silver salmon COR well over thirty years that fishermen have river because so many stream object to trespassers. progressively bad in recent point of view, as more and more homes have been built along the banks, and fishing stretches. Under the Oregon Game Commission's program, 44 access points will be established on the Rogue be tween Gold Beach at the mouth, and Prospect, 150 miles upstream. Some of the entryways will be easy to arrange, such as those on national forests or county- owned land. At some points access has been donated by private owners, in some instances leases have been negotiated, and in others outright purchase of land has been necessary. THE access sites will consist of tracts of river front- age containing from one to iuu acres witn space for roads, bank fishing, boat ramps, and parking areas. Of the sites approved for development, 18 will be for bank fishing, eight will be developed as boat launching sites, and 18 will accommodate both boat launching and bank fishing. All the access points will be designated by con spicuous posters so that they may be readily located by the public. ZOST of the sites is set at $35,000 and the money will be derived from the federal tax on sports angling gear. This money is distributed to the states to improve sports angling under the Dingle-Johnson act. In addition to obtaining the land, the commission will undertake clearing, leveling, graveling, some rip rapping to protect stream banks, road construction, and fencing. COR the frustrated fishermen who have been com- pelled to cast their lures in such less desirable spots as may be reached from nearby roads, or build or rent boats especially designed for the river, the Rogue access program is the most significant ever launched in this area by the commission. E.C J1. Chicago and the GOP Chicago as the convention city was neither a happy nor an unhappy augury for the Republicans. They have met there in 12 previous election years, and in five of those 12 they lost the election to the Demo cratsin 1884, 1912, 1916, 1932, and 1944 for a batting average of .583 convention city. A ND that is exactly the batting average achieved by "the Republicans when they didn't meet in Chicago. They have gone to other cities Philadelphia (five times), Cleveland (twice), Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis (once each) in twelve previous election years, and in five of those 12 also lost the election to the Democrats. (It will be noted that the Republicans have never picked New York for their national convention. The Democrats have met there twice, in 1868 and 1924.) f HICAGO as the convention city is a better augury for the Democrats than for the Republicans. The Democrats have met there in seven previous election years in 1864, 1884, 1892, 1896, 1932, 1940, and 1944and in only two of these seven did they lose the election to the Republicans, for a batting average of .714 for Chicago as the Democratic convention city. R. S. Congressional Quiz Questions and Answers on What Goes on at the Capital Furnished by Congressional Quarterly News Features Q. Since the President was so critical of the controls bill pass ed by Congress, why didn't he veto it? A. Mr. Truman said July 1 that had he not signed the bill, authority to continue the defense production and stabilization pro gram would have expired. With enough funds to administer the act, and with no panic buying or sudden worsening of the for eign crises, we may "get through the next 10 months without ser ious damage to the economy," he said. But he asserted that the new law "forces us to take a serious gamble." Q. The merchandise I sell is already below ceiling prices. Do I still have to go through the red tape of reporting to OPS? A. No. The new controls law which took effect July 1, frees sellers from complying with gov ernment reporting requirements on any materials or services be ing sold below ceilings.' Q. I notice Congress passed a bill to keep National Guard divisions on active duty for five years. Will that mean longer, ser vice for boys in uniform? A. No. The legislation, ap proved by Congress June 24, does not make any difference in how long individuals will have to serve.

Army officials said this would save the trouble and ex pense of setting up new divisions to replace retiring divisions. O Why didn't the Presi dent cut off aid to Italy after it shipped grinding machines to Rumania? A. The President June 24 told Congress he acted on the recommendation of Mutual Se curity Director W. Averell Har riman who said halting U.S. aid to the Italians would "seriously jeopardize Italian participation in our united effort." Under the 1951 Battle Act, any nation ship ping war-useful materials to Soviet-dominated countries aut omatically loses U.S. aid unless the President determines that cutting off aid would hurt U.S. security. Q. Is the government con sidering giving financial aid to students? ; A. Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security Administrator, asked Congress June 23 to enact leg islation to provide direct aid to needy talented students and a loan system to others. The loans, up to $600 a year, would come from educational institutions, - wrossrown 7 "I stopped mowin' lawns three should I have sent you i Matter of Fact AFTER THE VICTORY Chicago Even in the jubil ant aftermath of Gen. Eisenhow er's triumph, the bitterness still filled the Republican convention hall. Although Sen. Robert A. Taft was a wonderfully good sport about it, the rank and file of the Republican Old Guard are taking their resounding de feat as badly as possible. For the first time, a Republi can candidate has been nominat ed without any compromise or deal with any Old Guard fact ion or group; and that basically, is why the bitterness is so great. These reporters would venture the opinion that this very fact is one of the greatest advantages Eisenhower carries into his cam paign for the presidency. Most people think the enven omed fight here has hurt the Re publican party by displaying its divisions. These reporters would argue, rather, that Gen. Eisen hower's candidacy has been helped by the public spectacle of the whole Republican Old Guard angrily fighting Eisen hower, by fair means and foul, and every step of the way. rpHE REASONS for this here- -- tical view are contained in the story of the past, and in the picture of the national Republi can party that this convention has offered. From 1940 onward, the Re publicans have offered the coun try moderate, progressive candi dates "me too men and "left ists" in the language of the Old Guard. But in 1940, and in 1944 and in 1948, these moderate, progressive Kepubiican candi dates were invariably forced, for many reasons, to compromise, to fudge, to mumble and to be insincere, because of the sur viving Old Guard power in the party. Take the case of Dewey in 1948. He lost say the Old Guardsmen, because he ran a "me too" campaign. In fact, he lost because of the farm vote. Roy Dunn of Minnesota and other farm state leaders begged him on bended knees to make a forthright, powerful farm speech, plainly promising the farmers they would lose none of their gains of the last 20 years. Dewey himself wanted to do so. The Old Guard influence inter vened. And Dewey lost the farm vote and lost the election be- caus, if you like, he was not "me too' enough. THE PLAIN truth of the mat ter is that the Republican Old Guardsmen have been like large, elderly albatrosses around the neck of each successive Re publican candidate. Among the broad masses of American vot ers they have consistently aroused the fear that the Re publican party's return to pow er will mean a return to the smug reaction and the suicidal isolationism that marked Repub lican party policy in the 1920s. Eisenhower, the Republican can didate nominated over the Old Guard's united opposition, is the first of the party's nominees to enter the lists with no alba trosses. Here, in this convention, there has been visual proof that this is so. This convention has re vealed a lusty, sane and realis tic Republican party whose ex istence would hardly be sus pected by any one watching the misleadingly conspicuous an tics of the Neanderthal Republi cans in Congress. By an accident of political geography, the Republican Old Guardsmen and extremists are over - repesented in the Con gress, and especially in the Sen ate. Here in Chicago, the right wing Congressional Republicans have been in Sen. Taft's corn er, almost to the last man. But j we have also seen here no less ! than 25 Republican governors, most of them young, but vig-j orous and progressive, repre- j senting a grass-roots Republi-: can party quite different from I the often - sorry party the Con-; with the government insuring up to 80 per cent. (Copyright 1952, Congress ional Quarterly). . By Roland Coe weeks ago, Mr. Smith. S'matier, a letter of resignation?" By Joseph and Stewart Alsop gress shows. And of these gov ernors, no less than 22 have been in the general's corner from the start. XTO PARTY that can muster 25 such governors is neces sarily a minority party. Their mere existence implies that the Republicans can carry national elections, if Republican national candidates will only tackle na tional problems in the spirit of these governors tackling their state problems. And developing and insisting upon this kind of a campaign is now the great problem confronting Gen. Eis enhower. Every kind of fudging and dishonesty, every kind of shrill ness and cheap appeal, will now be urged upon him as good pol itics. He is inexperienced as a campaigner, and he may fall vic tim to these false advisers as others have before him. But let him stand forward for what he is a great American, humane, sensibly but not venomously conservative, oroaa in vision,. speaking for honesty, fairness and large- mindedness in gov ernment. And then he will win. For this very reason, these reporters would also say that the most interesting news of this convention was the news of Gen eral Eisenhower's trip east from Denver. Those who accompan ied him say that it was like wat ching a horse that has stumbled badly getting his feet under him again and beginning his rush down the straightaway. In oth er words, on this short journey, he seemed already to have learned the campaigner's les sons. TF THE event proves this to be correct, the country will see Eisenhow for what he is. And the Republicans will at last have the great prize within their grasp. Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Lodge Resigns, Seeks Reelection to Senate Chicago (U.R) The man who helped Dwight D. Eisen hower win the Republican pres idential nod has resigned as his campaign manager so he e?.n mend his own political fences. Eisenhower announced Sun day that Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., retired as his cam paign manager so that he could campaign for reelection to the U.S. Senate. Eisenhower said he agreed to relieve Lodge "only because I attach the greatest importance to his reelection to the Senate, where he has already served with outstanding courage, sin cerity and effectiveness. "It is vital to the success of our crusade that the Republi can party win the 1952 Sena torial and congressional elec tions," he said. "We will need Senator Lodge in Washington next January as a member of the Senate." Largest Beef Supply In History Expected Chicago (U.R) A sharp: increase in the nation's cattle.' herds is expected to place thej largest supply of beef in history on American tables next year. The American Meat Institute said the cattle population is ex pected to jump by 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 head this year,- bring ing it to a record 92.000,000 or 93,000,000 by the end of 1952. Venetian Blinds WAKEFIELD DRAPERY 6th and Bartlett In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Well, it's over. I wasn't watch ing the clock, but it must have happened about a quarter of eleven (Friday) morning. It was fairly obvious by Tuesday that it was going to happen, and by Wednesday night it was prac tically certain. The shadows cast by the tur bulent sessions of Tuesday and late Wednesday accurately fore told the coming event. H OW DID it happen? History repeated itself. The old gave way to the new. fTHERE WAS a brief moment, of course, of elation. But as these words are written, only a few minutes after the final vote, I imagine elation is giving way to a sense of grave responsibility. Political campaigns are waged with promises. Of necessity, that has to be. Promises are easily made. But carrying them out is another matter. That requires courage and wisdom. It takes FORTITUDE. As one of General Eisenhow er's followers, I'm sure he has what it takes. But I'm equally sure that at this moment his mood is a solemn and serious one. It is up to him to make good. And there are grave days in our nation's life. TUT WHEN grave decisions have to be made, he is capable of making them. He proved that when he took upon his shoulders the responsibility of deciding to postpone the Normandy invasion for a day because of unfavorable weather. His country's fate could have rested on that decision. But he didn't shirk it. Once his decisions are made, he is capable of carrying them out. The success of the invasion proved that. WE'VE CHOSEN an able man as the Republican party's candidate for President in this year of decision. N OW A word for the loser. There have been plenty of charges that Senator Taft, as the pilot of the steamroller, would bull his way through to victory at any cost. So far as he is per sonally concerned, it seems to me, these charges have fallen flat. He waged a hard-hitting campaign, but I can remember no personal blow of his that was below the belt. With the ambition of a life time lying in ruins at his feet, he came forward frankly and I'm sure sincerely to shake the hand of his successful opponent and to pledge his best efforts in what is now a common cause. That, too, takes fortitude. It takes good sportsmanship. THERE WAS another great American who set his heart upon the Presidency Henry Clay. Three times he sought it in 1824, in 1832 and in 1844. Three times he lost. But his name is written in the pages of our history as one of our illus trious sons. I'm sure the same will be true of Senator Taft. He is still a sen ator. We'll NEED him in the senate in the critical years that face us. THERE HAS been much talk to the effect that the heat and the passions generated in this pre-convention Republican campaign will destroy the Re publican party. I don't think so. It is true that the convention itself was tense and emotional. The delegates at times were strung to a high pitch. There were moments when It looked like a free-for-all might break out on the floor that even the police couldn't quell before vio lence was done. I think those were GOOD signs not bad. It is in moments of high emotion that men rise to their best. We must remember that the miracle of birth is ac companied by pangs. What we saw there on the convention floor at Chicago were the birth pangs of a new and fightingly sincere Republican party. QUICKLY SOLVED New Haven, Conn.

' Phone 2-6010 'Red Dean' Stirs New Row in Britain Over Germ Warfare Charge BY HOMER JENKS formal statements disassociating United Press Correspondent The gaitered, frocked, white crested "Red Dean" of Canter bury has stirred up another first-class row in Britain and, as before, there seems little the British government or the Church of England can do about it. This time, Dr. Hewlett John son, Communism's highest rank ing convert in Western church circles, is embarrassing his gov ernment and his church with his ready endorsement of Chinese charges that the U.S. is waging germ warfare in Korea. Back in London after a visit to Red China, the 78-year-old Dr. Johnson airily announced to the press last week that he had "irrefutable proof" U.S. planes dropped germ bombs in Korea. But questioning disclosed he had not visited Korea, had not seen any so-called germ raids, and had not seen anyone infected by the alleged germs. Public reaction was quick. Newspapers denounced him as the "aging cockatoo of Com munism." Forty or more Con servative members of Parliament signed a petition to Queen Eliz abeth II, as head of the Church of England, to remove the tall, lean, cleric from the deanship of Canterbury. The public outcry finally reached the pitch where Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, archbishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, felt obliged to an nounce that he will make a statement Tuesday in the House of Lords on the dean and his mouthing of Communist propa ganda. The archbishop gave no ink ling of what he intends to say. It seems a pretty safe guess he will go no further than he and preceding archbishops have done in the past when the "Red Dean" espoused embarrassing Communist causes. Four Occasion On at least four occasions since 1937, archbishops of Can terbury have replied to public criticism of Dr. Johnson with Solution of Conflict Between Tariff, Free Trade, To Washington (U.R) President Truman called on 12 prominent Americans today to solve the conflict between stimulation of trade with free nations and in creasing U. S. restrictions on im ports. Mr. Truman wrote the mem bers of the Public Advisory Board for Mutual Security that "recent developments affecting our trade policy may work at cross purposes with the basic objectives of the mutual security program." "On the one hand," he said, "we are insisting that our friends expand their own world trade; on the other we seem to be rais ing new barriers against imports from abroad." The President asked the board to examine the "whole problem" of U. S. foreign trade policies and how they affect mutual se curity program efforts "to achieve economic strength and solvency among the free na tions." Board members are Sarah G. Blanding, president of Vassar College; James B. Carry, CIO secretary-treasurer; Jonathan W. Daniels, editor of the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer; Rob ert H. Hinckrfey, vice president of the American Broadcasting Co.; Eric A. Johnston, president of the Motion Pictures Assn. of America; Allan B. Kline, presi dent of the American Farm Bu reau Federation; Orin Lehman, New York; A. E. Lyon, execu tive Secretary of the Railway Labor Executives, Assn.; George H.

Dr. Fisher in 1949 said Dr. Johnson could not be ousted be cause he has not exposed himself to a charge under either civil or ecclesiastical law. During the Lords' session Tuesday, the Marquess of Salis bury, government leader in the Upper House, will give the gov ernment's views on the "Red Dean's" outspoken support of the Communists and the campaign for his removal. Under similar circumstances in 1951, then Prime Minister Cle ment R. Atlee rejected demands that the government introduce legislation to curb the dean. He said it would be a mistake for Parliament to intervene in church affairs. Dr. Johnson was given the life-time job of dean of Canter bury Cathedral, where he ranks second only to the archbishop, by King George V in 1931 on the advice of the then Laborite prime minister, Ramsay Mac Donald. A Socialist even then, he em braced Communism five years later after visiting Russia for the first time. He never has swerved from the Communist line since. With all the time he has de voted to Communism, Dr. John son has not neglected the duties for which he is paid $4,720 a year by the Church of England and given free use of the 20 room deanery. He is head of the cathedral's administrative organization and, as required by church law, spends at least 240 days a year within the cathedral precincts. When at home, he presides over the even-song in the choir of the cathedral Sunday evenings. But even in his sermons his words are tinged with Commu nism. He refers to the Virgin Mary as "passionately devoted to the cause of the underprivil eged" and Moses as "a strike leader against a despotic, imper ialistic ruler." Be Sought the National Grange, and James G. Patton, president of the Na tional Farmers' Union. The President said that to de crease dependence by free na tions on U.
