Wolcolt is a member of the

The committee has no time to

Although four major disagree

Vinson Takes
Justice Oath
WASHINGTON. June 24 (P)
Fred M. Vinson became the na

a colorful ceremony on the
south portico of the White
House.
Thousands watched the cere
mony from the sun-bathed lawn
to the rear of the mansion.
In solemn tones, Vinson de
clared "I do, so help me God,"
in taking each of the customary
two oaths.
President Truman declared
that Vinson's appointment as
the 13th chief justice was
"lucky for the United States and
lucky for Mr. Vinson," and add
ed, I hope it is.
The entire ceremony lasted
nine minutes. Before Vinson,
attired in a dark blue suit,
stepped out on to the portico to
be sworn in, a navy band played
"Pomp and Circumstance."
This set the pattern for the
unusual ceremony, which was
planned by Mr. Truman to rival
in color a presidential inaugura
tion. The chief justice took one
oath to support and defend the
constitution and another to pro
vide equal justice to rich and
poor.
speaxer itayourn, who pre
sided, declared that President
Truman had appointed a chief
justice "capable of doing what
ever job he is assigned to do."
' There was no reference to the
discord on the supreme court
which President Truman hopes
the former treasury secretary
will be able to still.

Eisenhower Ignorant Of Stalin's Plan
Until Four Months Before End Of War
WASHINGTON. June 24 ()
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower re
corded in his final report today
as supreme allied commander in
Europe that he was kept in the
dark about Russia's grand strat
egy until four months before
V-E doy.
Then, however. Marshal Stalin
came through with full plans for
the red army's final offensive,
which became one jaw of a vise
that crushed the German war
machine "to a degree never be
fore experiened in the history
of modern armies."
Eisenhower's belatedly pub
lished 123-page detailed report
to the combined chiefs of staff
covered the fateful 11 months
from D-day in Normondy to the
German surrender. It was re
leased by the war department,
which said only minor 'details
were deleted for security rea
sons. In it the present army chief
of staff recorded briefly his dif
ficulties of coordination with the
red army while lauding the
teamwork of the western allies.
The United States and Great
Britain, he said, fought as "one
nation."
Aside from teamwork, Eisen
hower concluded that the vic
tory was due to allied might and
"invincibility of spirit" and to
miscalculations by Hitler and
Field Marshal Von Rundstedt,
the nazi commander in the west.
In Eisenhower's Judgment,
three battles were decisive in
liberating Europe:

"wild west" movie actor of a
Quarter of a century ago, died
late last night of a lingering in

home from Washington, D. C,
last month to enter a court fight
over the dying man s affairs.

William S. Hart Jr., who last

Hart had been ill frequently

his sickness took their toll of his
gaunt frame and slender, body.
He lived in contentment until
his sister Mary, whom he always
referred to as "my darling
sister," died in 1943. After her
death he suffered spells of
melancholy which were broken
only when old friends occasional
ly dropped in.
He lived on his 80 acre ranch

noted:
"Up to the end of 1944 I had

Russian Proposal Lauded 1
The newspaper praised the
Russian counter proposal placed
Deiore tne security council by
Andrei Gromyko calling for
prohibition of production and
use of atomic bombs that in a
few words is the essence of tha
Soviet proposal."
"The Soviet plan reflects un
changing Soviet politics of peace
and defense and universal seJ
curity," Pravda said, terming
Gromyko's suggestion "humane,
clear and workable."
The Russian proposal has
been published conspicuously
and textually in Russia. Barucn's
American plan never has been,
published fully or in its com
plete text in the Soviet press.
Pravda said the United States
government counted on naming;
the period, under its own judg
ment, during which it will per
mit an international agency by
successive stages to peep into
the secrets of its 'atomic kitch
en'." Monopoly for U. 8.
"The American plan amounts,
as a matter of fact, to clinching
the monopoly position of the
United States in the production
of atomic weapons for an ire
definite period," Pravda 'con
tinued, "during this period,
which will be conditioned by
the development or work of an
international control organ, the
United States Intends to pro

:" Afterwards the United States"
intends by degrees 'by succes

international control organ in-,

of atomic energy and permit it
to spread -its control." , , : "
The communist newspaper
said the American proposal was
an "extremely perplexed plan"
and asserted:
"Each point calls forth doubt

with all possible complications."
