Civil Rights
Come In For
Big Blasting
By The Associated Preas
Texas democrats look a crack at
President Truman'a civil rights pro
gram but indicated today the party
organisation will back him If he
wlna the presidential nomination.
Alabama's Senator Sparkman,
meanwhile, fanned the Dixie anti
Truman fires by rnewing the boom
for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
On the republican side. Senator
Robert A. Taft and Harold E. Stas
sen pressed their talking tours of
Ohio In quest of further support In
the May 4 primary. And Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey picked up seven
more New York state delegates to
run his national total to 122.
The Texas democratic executive
committee voted 35 to 14 last night
to recommend an untnstructed dele
gation to the Philadelphia conven
tion in July.
Full Support
But the group promised to "accord
full support lo every nominee of the
party."
Political observers there took this
to mean the state organization
would refuse to Join any Dixie re
volt that may flare after the con
vention. As for the civil rights proposals
which raised the rebellion threat,
the committee said they would de
stroy home role and civil liberties
In the South.
Sparkman, who recenUy broke
with Mr. Truman over civil rights,
told a reporter he believes Elsen
hower will be available for the
democratic nomination despite the
general's statement that he "could
not accept nomination to high poli
tical office,", . -,
Sparkman said that Alabama, as
(he first state to be heard from,
might start a "We-Want-Eisen-hower"
boom at the convention. The
Senator did not mention Gov. Jim
Folsom's aspirations for the party
nomination.

HST Held To
Favor Okay
IN Holy Land
WASHINGTON, April 2S (ID
Admlniatration officials predicted
today that President Truman will
ask congreas to approve any uae oC
American troops to police Palestine.
This apparently does not rule out
the chance that the president might,
in an extreme emergency, order
limited forces Into the Holy Land
to protect American lives and prop
erty.
Mnrlncs might be used In that
event, although there Is no clear In
dication that this will happen.
Flare-up Feared
Officials are deeply concerned,
however, lest Arab-Jewish fighting
flare on an even larger scale next
month when the British start with
drawing their troops.
Warren R. Austin, American dele
gate, told the United Nations spe
cial assembly session on Palestine
Tuesday that the United States w
prepared lo send troops to the Holy
Land to support a trusteeship gov
ernment on two conditions:
First, other nations must also
provide forces; second, Arabs and
Jews must agree to a truce.
Question Raised
In Washington this promptly
raised a question as to the presi
dent's authority to use American
armed forces. Austin's statement
was criticized In the house yester
day as making a commitment in
violation of the law giving this gov
ernment the right to membership
in the United Nations.
Administration legal authorities
are understood to have advised the
White House that nothing In the
aw prevents the president from us
ing bis constitution!! Dowers aa
director or American foreign policy
and commander-in-chief of the
armed forces.
The position of the administra
tion therefore is said to be that Mr.
Truman has the right to send troops
wherever he may consider it In the
nation's Interest to do so.
