Seven-Point Program Aftr outlining a seven-point pro gram for world peace, with special stress upon formation of a United States of Europe, Dewey was asked: "Do you think you could find a secretary of state who would say "no" to Stalin?" "Vou brtcha," retorted Dewey, amiling. "I know two men intimately who have aaid no and one is John Foster Dulles, who Is one of the closest friends I have in the world, lie has been saying no' to Stalin. "I think they respect him more than anybody I can think of. And Senator Vandenberg does the same thing.

His fast-paced stumping of the Willamette valley was assuming, meanwhile; more the serious aspect White House aides would not discuss what possible action might be taken if Steelman cannot per suade the parties to reach an agreement They turned aside such queations aa whether Mr. Truman will talk personally with the disputants, whether the union leaders might be asked to postpone the strike date, or whether the government might seise the railroads. A plea by the president for the railroad owners and the unions to settle their wage dispute without a strike Is known to be under con sideration. White House aides will recommend it only If convinced there is a possibility the plea would be heeded. Because of the strike threat, railroads began serving notice to thousands of shop and other em ployes that they will be laid off if the engineers, firemen and switch men quit work Through the Association of Amer ican Railroads, a dozen lines gave notice today that they would atop accepting perishable freight ship ment this week-end.

Senator Bridges (R-N.H.) today urged speedy approval ot funds to begin building a 10-group air force. Bridges, chairman of the appro priations committee, flew back her from a re-election campaign In New Hampshire to direct floor action on the $3,233,200,000 bill to expand the nation's air power. "By our action on this bill, wa will help to determine what weapons this country shall have at Its dis posal in the period 1051 to 1953," Bridges told the senate. "We are warned it is In that period Russia, may have erased the great mili tary advantage which we now hold by virtue of our exclusive possession of the atomic bomb." The senate appropriation! com mittee approved the bill 18 to 1 a week ago. The house already has stamped Its approval, 343 to 3, on a similar measure. til later In the summer.

"Kissing Jim" Folsom Weds The ' Girl Who Left Him Speechless MONTGOMERY, Ala., Mny 6 P-Gov. James E. Folsom of Ala bama, whose antics with the women earned him the title of "Kissing Jim," has mnrrled the 21-year-old girl who once left him speechless. The surprise wedding of the six-feet, eight-inch widower to Miss Jamclle Moore, who elands flve-fcpt-flve, took plnce lute yesterday at Rockford, Aln. For the 39-ycar-old governor and father of two small daughters, his marrlago to the brunette, state-employed secretary was the climax to a busy 24-months, political and otherwise. Early last March he was named defendant in a paternity suit brought by an attractive red-haired divorcee who charged he was the father of her two-yonr-old son. He shortly thereafter took a trip to Washington and New York. The governor told the newspapermen of his first meeting with the young girl who now Is the first lndy of Alnbnma. "I was making a speech," he snid, "when I wns running for governor. I saw her In the crowd and I stopped speaking. I missed about a mlmito of my speech before I could catch up." The new Mrs. Folsom. toyed with a lock of hair nnd observed, "I feel like I'm going around in circles." , While the governor was talking with newspapermen, his two daughters, Rachel, 8. nnd Melissa, 5, played on the Inwn outside the executive mansion. His first wife died In 1044. "The girls," snld Folsom, "are all for It." The paternity suit against Folsom wns brought by Mrs. Christine Johnston ot Hnncevlllc. A Iteming has been set for Mny 12. isolated primary tussle in the repub. lican presidential race. Surging crowds, frequently pro Slasaen. met him everywhere. The response prompted veteran Oregon politicos to shorten the odds from Staasen's favor to "about fifty-fifty." In his speech, Dewey accused the administration of "sheer muddle headedness" in its foreign policy and proposed a seven-point foreign policy program based upon a United States of Europe. "This federation," he declared, should be the cornerstone of Amer ican foreign policy." To achieve such a union, he pro posed spending foreign aid funds "like hard-headed Americans instead of soft-hearted saps." A U. S. of Europe is the "last hope for the peace of the world," he said. Favors Draft Dewey also told his audience, In response to a question, that he favored the draft and universal training. "Rather that," he said, than a nation "weak without the courage to defend itself." The New Yorker's campaign was having noticeable effect In political circles in the wake of his "stem to stern" drive through the stale. At Portland, where he opened his cam paign last Saturday, several addi tional state and local committees were organised In his support A group of young republicans an nounced a committee for the metro politan area and called on other young republicans upstate to form similar groups. Harold Holmes,' named Portland chairman, said the Impression had been erroneously created that "young republicans in Oregon are allied in the cause of another can didate." Two top Oregon businessmen have accepted a co-chairmanship of a Buslnessmen-for-Dewry committee. One Is T. II. Banfirld. a manufact urer and chairman of the Oregon highway rommlssion. The other is Sid Woodbury, chairman ot the board of the Portland chamber of commerce and an Industrialist, Dewey Speech 'Off The Cuff Governor Tom Dewey's speech here will be strictly "off the cuff," his Portland headquarters reported today. The republican presidential candi date will speak at high noon from the courthouse steps, with no ad vance copies of the speech avail able to the press. It is considered possible Dewey may make this the place for comment on his attitude toward reclamation and land de velopment, as well as other matters of national and International in terest. Before making the talk, Dewey will visit the Geary ranch north of town, where a large private recla mation program has been carried out. Time will not permit an in spection of the Klamath reclama tion project, one of the nation's most successful irrigation set-ups. Oil Ration Proposed WASHINGTON, May W Compulsory steel allocations to the petroleum Industry and perhaps nation-wide oil rationing were rec ommended today by a house com mittee unless voluntary efforts im prove the critical oil shortage, A report released with unanimous approval of the armed services committee snid : "The nation Is In a grave situa tion with respect to Its petroleum. The national defense is in a pre carious position. Congress is con fronted by decisions on this sub ject that are as baste, we believe, as any matters that have arisen In recent years. US Mediates Greek Crisis ATHENS, May fl WPV-The United States apparently adopted the role -of mediator today In a dispute over reshuffling the Greek government. Liberal and populist party cabinet members were reported to be placing their resignations at the disposal of Premier Themistokles Sophouus. Dwight Griswold, administrator of American aid to Greece, and a representative of the U. S. embassy, talked with the liberal party pre mier for an hour. Then they sched uled a meeting with Vice Premier Constantln Tsaldarls, leader of the populist (royalist) party. A second meeting with Sophoulis was fixed for tonight or tomorrow. Reliable sources said efforts were being made to bring about an agreement on switching cabinet posts of three or four ministries in the case of each of the two parties. The Informants said all liberal ministers already had submitted their resignations to Sophoulis and populists were about to do the same to permit the two leaders to go ahead with reshuffling the coalition government. Sophoulis last night suspended parliament for a month because he and Tsaldarls were un able to agree on changes. Uncle Jim Smith To Back Dewey Lebanon, May P New York's Gov. Thomas E. Dewey has been promised the vote of an Ore gonlan who has cast a republican ballot since voting for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. Here on his tour of the state yes terday, Dewey met Uncle Jim Smith, 105-year-old Civil War vet eran of Waterloo, who said he planned to support the candidate in the primary. UN Continues Effort To Work Out Truce Covering Jerusalem By CARTER L. DAVIDSON JERUSALEM, May (Pi A United Nations commission tried again here today for a truce cover ing all Jerusalem, scene of new fir ing In the fight between Arabs and Jews. The commission the Jerusalem consuls general of the United States, Belgium and France returned last night from Jericho, halfway to Am man, Trans-Jordan, Authoritative sources said It hnd failed to bring about a truce agree ment In talks there with Col. Rosch er Lund of the U. N. secretariat and Arab leaders. The Arab leaders were Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein SlraJ of Trans-Jordan, Ahmed Hllml Pasha of the Palestine Arab higher com mittee and Taaqulddln Al Sold, brother of the premier of Lebanon. The commission found, the In formants said, these men had no power to enter Into agreements and so decided to call In higher ranking Arabs for today'a negotiations. Police Get Radio To Give Forth OKLAHOMA CITY, May 6 (JP Police who are tired of hearing "How Dry I Am" In this prohibition state of Oklahoma coaxed a car radio into playing "Roll Out the Barrel" yesterday. When they overhauled 24-year-old Bobby Redwlne he clicked a switch on the radio panel. "Too much static," he explained. Vice Detective Ray Rcddicord tin kered with the instrument. The top came off in his hands. Inside were three pints of contraband whisky lr a secret compartment. Redwlne got all the bond he need ed, however $40 worth to guarantee) his appearance in court. The new negotiations were un dertaken on the traditional day of Christ's ascension Into heaven from the Mount of Olives near the Holy city. The Moslem Sheikh Jarrah quar ter, through which western Chris tian clergymen had to paal on their way to srrvlres on the mount today, resounded for an hour last night with submachinrgun fire and gren ade and mortar-shell explosions. Signal flares were seen. The quarter Is a few blocks north of the old walled city. A truce has been in effect since Sunday over pnrt of Jerusalem the southerly Kntnmon suburb. It was arranged by Sir Henry Gtirney, chief secretary for the Palestine government. Great Britain gives up her man date over the Holy land a week from next Saturday. But her under sreretary of foreign affairs, Chris topher Mayhew, said last night ahe will keep Middle Eastern bases.
