Election - Year
Session Of
Congress Begins
By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON, Jan, B—(AP)—
Pelitics, defense spending, univer
cal military training and foreign
aid stood out as the dominant is
cues today as the 82nd Congress
yeturned for its election-year ses-
Jon.
The session starts at noon (EST)
and leladers wouldn't be surprised
if it lasts right up to the Nevem
ber elections in which a president,
a vice-president, 435 House mem
bers and at least 32 senators will
be chosen.
It’s always that way in a gen
gral election year. The Halls of
Congress being a favorite forum
lor political speeches.
Legislatively, it probably won’t
roduce much. Only a few
#ust” major bills are due for
consideration. Topping them are
IMT, economice controls, foreign
aid and billions in new appropria
tions.
Politically, it may be one of the
hoitest in decades. Supporters of
<enator Taft of Ohio, Gen. Dwight
1. Risenhower and other Republi
con presidential = possibilities al
rondv were jockeying for position,
an Democrats were countering at
every opportunity.
Truman Message
From President Truman’s State
of-the-Union message tomorrow,
Democrats hope to obtain some
clve as to whether Mr. Truman
111 seek re-election and if not, the
i<sues on which the Democrats will
be expected to. base their cam
paign.
They expect the President to
s<l- for many things Congress has
refused to give him in the past.
They remember that just four
vears ago President Truman
<natched election victory from
<ceming defeat by pounding away
2t Congress’ failure to enact his
program.
Tomorrow’s message will be the
first of three from the President.
The others, on domestic economy
and the budget, will follow within
two weeks. The budget message
is expected to call for an estimated
83 billion dollars during the fiscal
year starting July 1.
The first few weeks of the ses
sion probably will be spent get- |
ting squared away for action and
digesting the President’s recom=-
mendations. This interlude will
sive six new Representatives and
a 2 new Senator a chance to get
themselves oriented. ;
New Senator
The new senator, Fred A. Sea
ton (R.-Neb.), whose death during
the recess left vacant the post of
Senate minority leader. Senate
Republicans meet today to pick a
new leader, with Senator Bridges
of New Hampshire the pre-ses
sion favorite.
The first big fight may come
over UMT. Under any name,
UMT has never been popular in
Congress, and its appeal is even
less in an election year. :
The President’s first major re
buff is likely to come from the
Senate if Mr, Truman insists on
pressing his nomination of Gen.
Mark Clark to be Ambassador to
the Vatican.
~ Other setbacks appear in store
if he renews his request for civil
richts legislation, health Insur
ance, and tighter economic con
trols. Hotly controversial matters
such as those don’t fit into the
1952 congressional picture.

DOWN TO BUSlNESS—President Truman and British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill begin formal confer
ences in the White House in Washington. High policy
talks between the two moved into the second and more
earnest stage with a frank appraisal assured of Anglo-
American differences over several world danger spots.

President, Churchill
resident, Churchi
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, Jan. B.— (AP) —Britain’s recognition
of Communist China was expected to come up today in the
globe-girdling talks between President Truman and Prime
Minister Churchill.
The President was expected to tell the Prime Minister
that this country’s non-recognition of the Chinese Reds is
a firm policy, hardened by their intervention in Korea.
He may suggest that an irritant could be removed from
British-American relations if London’s recognition of the
Peiping government were revoked.
Malenkov Hinted
Soviet's Stalin
BY WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
Moscow’s press left little doubt
today that the successor to Joseph
Stalin has beenchosen and that he
is the glowering sourpuss of the
Politburo, Georgia Maximiliano
vitch Malenkov.
Extravagant praise was heaped
on him on his 50th birthday. It is
comparable only to the praise ac
corded Stalin himself. The greet
ing to him from the Cemmunist
Party and the Council of Ministers
hails him as “Co-adviser of Sta
lin”—the highest possible praise
in the USSR. It also credits him
with having “forged victory for
our homeland in the great war of
the fatherland against the enemies
of humanity.”
This is a development of ex
treme importance for the Western
World, with broad implications for
the future of international rela
tions.
1f there has been a struggle for
power in the Politburo—and many
in the west believe such a struggle
has been taking place—Yvaches
lav M. Molotov seemingly has lost
to the brilliant, ruthless youngster
brought up in the isolation of So
viet Communism as Stalin’s pro
tege.
There have been persistent hints
that Stalin was relinquishing his
active direction of Soviet affairs.
He has just turned 72, and is re
ported in failing health.
November dispatckes from Mos
cow, describing the 34th anniver
sary celepration of the Bolshevik
Revolgtion, gave the impression
Malenkov. was the reigning power
in the USSR with' support from
Lavrenty Pavlovitch Beria, direc
tor of the all-present, all-powerful
secret police.
; Molotov Absent
Molotov was not present, a
striking development in itself,
since that ceremony is the year’s
most important in Moscow. Stalin
was not there, either, but Stalin
usually has gone south in recent
winters.
At the Bolshevik Revolution
ceremony; pugnacious; pudgy Mal
enkov towered over the others in
the manner of ‘a dictator. The pic
tures showed him clearly as the
most-important figure present—

s Defense Problems
Yesterday afterncon's session
covered European defense prob
lems. An official statement said
crisply that “several military mat
ters were ‘presented and received
consideration.”
The President and Prime Min
ister and their diplomatic and mi
litary advisers, meeting around a
table in the cabinet room of the
White House, were obviously able
to hit only the high spots of cold
war strategy and other proble~s
in the two days allotted for \'#:
intensive discussions.
The “several military matters”
discussed yesterday were de
seribed as of great secrecy and
the decision was made that none
of the persons present chould talk
about them outside the meeting.
However, it was known that
specific questions due for discuss
ions during the two days includ
ed these:
1. Atomic energy—Churchill is
known to desire a renewal of the
wartime partnership in which
Brittain the United States and
Canada jointly worked on atomic
developments and exchanged in

European Defense
2. Defense of Eurone—A North
Atlantic treaty council commit
tee recently completed a study
showing a wide gap between the
present capacity of the Western
nations and the military goal of
some 90 divisions in the Western
European defense force by 1954.
Decisions will soon have to be
made as to whether the goal
should be lowered or the time ex
tended.

Lig-Zagging Of
Causes Slow-Up
By LEONARD LEDDINGTON
ON THE ATLANTIC WITH
THE FLYING ENTERPRISE, Jan.
8 — (AP) — Capt. Kurt Carlsen’s
storm-cracked ship, Flying Enter
prise, began zig-zagging erratical
ly at the end of its steel towing
leash early today, forcing a further
slow-down in its snail’s pace jour
ney to Falmouth about 100 miles
away.
The 6,711-ton vessel, tilted al
most flat on its port side, thrashed
out to the side as the cable slack
ened periodically. It was not be
lieved to be in any real danger,
however.
This sheering movement caused
the 4,000-horsepower tug Turmoil,
which is pulling the Flying Enter
firise to port, to slacken speed. The
ttle convoy was not expected to
reach Falmouth before Wednesday
noon, and perhaps later.
The swerving was blamed on
calmer seas. The Atlantic weather
was more like April than January,
with a gentle southwest breeze and
a low swell.
Somewhat heavier seas had pre
viously kept the Flying Enterprise
at the end of a taut tow cable. To
day i just floundered about on
its 750-ya;d tether.
low, Dangerous
The slow, dangerous trip to port
began Saturday, about 300 miles
west of the English coast. By the
time Capt. Dan Parker's tug got
a line aboard, Carlsen had drift
ed alone for a week on the ship
he refused to abandon after the
worst Atlantic storm in half a
(clclantury cracked it across the mid
e.
The Turmoil’'s first mate, Ken
neth Dancy, leaped over the stern
rail of the Flying Enterprise Fri
day night to help Carlsen fasten
the tow cable. Carlsen still is
aboard his ship, with Dancy keep
ing him company. They spelled
each other on two-hour watches,
ready to fasten a new 20-inch
manila hawser if strain snaps the
slim steel line now in use.
But the Turmoil was confident.
Parker reported he had to reduce
his speed to keep the Flying Enter
prise from skidding, but said “the
tow is going ok.”
Four Ships
The slow procession now in
cludes four ships boxing the Fly
ing Enterprise in a diamond quad
rille, with the Turmoil in front.
On the left, Abeam with the
crippled ship's Hulk, was the es
corting U, 8. destroyer Willard
Keith. Off of the right was the
deep sea tug Englishman, charter
ed by the Associated Press, which
joined the resuce squadron late
last night.
Following at the end of the for
mation was the French tug Abe
ille 25, ready to help.
The Turmoil declined all as
sistanee. .
Carlsen and Dancy had little to
do but keep an eye on the tow
cable and eat the hot meals sent
gboard by the Willard Keith,
Carlsen maintained radio com
munication with the bobbing con
voy. But the batteries powering
his small transmitter were weak
ening and he checked in only once
every two hours.
The last message before he turn
ed in last night was “everything
ok.”
In Falmouth the little fishing
port on “the Cornish Riviera”
where artists like to come and
paint the harbor, business was
booming. Visiters jammed hotels
and restaurants like the millde of
the tourist season. Among them
were about 100 newsmen, flocking
in to report the convoy’s arrival.

Taft Claims His Pledges
Wil Win Him Nomination
Reaction To Ike's Willingness
To Accept Nominafion Is Varied
BY JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. — (AP) — Senator Taft (R.-
Ohio) claimed today that if all the pledges he now holds
are translated into voting strength he will win the Repub
lican nomination.
That was the Ohioan’s answer to the statement of Gen
eral Dwight D. Eisenhower that he is a Republican and
would respond to a ‘“‘clearcut call to political duty,” but
would not personaally campaign for the GOP nomi‘ng.‘tjon.

Eisenhower supporters jubilant
ly heralded the statement as as
suring the general’s nomination
and election.
Taft told a reporter he believes
this makes Eisenhower oniy a
“draft” possibility, adding:
“If all the pledges we have ob
tained from all over the country
can be translated into delegates
when they are chosen I believe we
have more than half of the con
vention votes.”
The GOP nominating meeting,
to be held in Chicago early in
July, will have syghtly more than
1,200 delegates, with more than
600 votes needed for the nomina~
tion. None of the delegates has
been formally chosen yet.
Taft Assertion
Taft said he always assumed
that other candidates would be
seeking the nomination and that
“General Eisenhower would be one
of them.”
He intimated he had expected
Eisenhower to doff his uniform as
commander of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO)
forces and return as a civilian to
I campaign.
. But Eisenhower said at his Paris
| headquarters yesterday that “un
der no circumstances will 1 ask
for relief from this assignment in
order to seek nomination to politi
cal office and I shall not partici
pate in the pre-convention activi
ties of others who may have such
an intention with respect to me.”
Taft said he is confident he will
be able to harvest a sizeable num
ber of GOP convention delegates
from New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Kansas, home
state of the principal Eisenhower
leaders.
Senator Schoeppel of Kansas, a
Taft backer, supported this con
tention with a prediction that the
Kansas delegation will go to the
convention uninstructed and with
some Taft delegates among its
members.
Kansas Ike
Kansas is regarded as Eisen
hower’s “home” state and Harry
Darby, Kansas national commit
teeman and an Eisenhower leader,
has been seeking a delegation
pledged solidly for the general as
evidence of “grass roots” support.
But Schoeppel and Rep. Wint
Smith (R.-Kan.), who said he is
backing Gen. Douglas MacArthur
for the Republican presidential
nomination, forecast the election
of some non-Eisenhower delegates
in district contests where 18 of the
23 members will be chosen.
Reaction to Eisenhower’s state
ment varied with the political
views of the lawmakers involved.
Senator Carlson (R.-Kan.) said
there “no longer is any doubt that
General Eisenhower will be nomi=-
nated in July and elected in No
vember as a Republican.” Senator
Lodge said the nomination “now
will be his.”
Senator Ives (R.-N.Y.) predicted
favorite sons will spring up in
states where a candidate must
avow his intentions to get on the
ballot and these will throw their
support to Eisenhower. !
Gov. Walter Kohler of Wiscon
sin said there was a possibility
that Eisenhower’s name might be
entered in his state’s April 1 pri

lowed to rebuild air fields during
an armistice. Neither side changed
its view.
Both committees scheduled new
sessions for 11 a. m. Wednesday
(9 p. m. Tuesday EST) at Pan
munjom.

Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, ief
Allied negotiator, conferred in
Tokyo with Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway, Supreme Allied Com
mander. Joy said it was “merely
a routine visit.” .
In presenting the revised plan
for exchanging prisoners of war,
Rear Adm. R. E. Libby said “this
is in no sense a new proposal”
but it had been rephrased to
cover objections raised by the
Reds. g *
Changes included:
1. A specific provision that the
U. N. command would release all
prisoners for voluntary repatria
tion after the Reds returned il
prisoners, former South Korean
soldiers, and displaced or interned
civilians who want to fio home.
2, Elimination of a that
the Reds reclassifg as prisoners of
war former South Korean troops
now in the Red Army.
3. Red commanders would “sol
emnly agree” that all prisoners
released by the U. N. who were not
directly exchanged for Red pri
ners would not fight fin g the
Korean war. The original plan
called for these prisoners given
their parole not to fight against
the Allies.
Red Objections
The plan still contained these
basic points to which the Reds
have objected:
1. The prisoner exchange would
start on a man for man basis,
followed by an exchange of one
captured Red soldier for one civil
ian.
2. Repatriation of both soldiers
and civilians on a voluntary basis.
3. Supervision of the exchange
by the international ¢committee of
ithe Red Cross. »
A U. N. Command communigue
said day-long discussion found
“the Communists again objecting
particularly to the voluntary re
patriation provision.”
Libby said the “atmosphere in
the tent was unusually amicable”
as delegates discussed Red objec
tions.
No Progress
“Nobody called anybody any
;bad names,” Libby said. “But 1
can report no progress.”
Debate by the second subcom-~
mittee in an adjoining truce tent
went over familiar ground.
