lke's Interest In Election
Mounting As Support Grows
Taft Continues Southwest Drive;
Russell Goes To Florida In May
By The Associated Press
General Eisenhower’s interest in the Republican Presi
dential nomination seemed to be growing today (Friday)
as support mounted in the wake of his clean sweep over
Senator Taft in the New Hampshire Presidential primary.
Eisenhower’s Washington head
quarters late yesterday released
part of & letter from him to an
nnamed elose friend which said
in effeet he would not turn his
back on party workers and lead
ers later. It sounded like he was
telling those “in the rank and file”
he wouldn’t forget them if elected.
Seems Enthusiastic
Earlier in a cable from Paris
warmly thanking New Hampshire
supporters for their work, the
General appeared to talk like a
candidate whose enthusiasm is
mounting.
Minnesota supporters, encour
sged by his opening victory,
Jaunched & campaign for write-in
votes for Eisenhower in that
state’s primary next Tuesday.
In Washington, backers still
eager for him to return and put
up a fight—despite his statement
he will not take part in pre-con
vention campaigns—said the New
Hampshire victory was the “clear
cut call to political duty.” The
veneral said he would answer if
it came. b
But a former New Jersey Gov
ernor who supports Eisenhower
said he would do the free world a
disservice by coming home to
campaign.,
Assure GOP Victory
A former Taft supporter in New
Hampshire, Richard G. Jordan of
Manchester, wrote the Ohio sena
tor to get behind Eisenhower, and
assure a GOP victory in Novem
ber.
Harold B. Stassen, another GOP
candidate, campaigning in Wis
consin said he has not promised to
deliver his delegation to Eisen=
hower if he fails to win at Chica=-
go in July. He said his support
ers, in such an event, can make up
their own minds whom to support.
Tafi continued a workhorse
schedule in the Southwest, making
speeches—all denouncing the Tru
man domestie and foreign policies
—hoiding news conferences and
attending dinners. He said in
Albuquerque he still thinks he
will have enough delegates to win’
in Chicago. He moves into Ari
zona today.
Gov. Earl Warren, a fourth GOP
candidate, eampaigned for Wis
consin’s 30 delegates. The Cali
fornia governor hammered away
at the Bomocrltic administration,
which he said has taken the gov
ernment away from the people.

,POW Talks To
Staft Offi
| By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, March 14 — (AP)—
Prisoner exchange talks neared a
dead end today and U. N. truce
inegotiators suggested turning the
;v.vhole problem back to staff of
ficers,
Rear Adm. R. L. Libby said the
negotiations are at a virtual stand
still and “progress will be at best
extremely slow.”
~ The Communists promised to
‘thmk it over. They may reply
tomorrow.
- Libby didn’t indicate how he
thought staff officers might crack
the apparently hopless deadlock.
Less than three weeks ago staff
officers bogged down on the issue
of voluntary repatriation and
handed the problem back to Libby
and other top level delegates on
the truce sub-committee.
A second group- of negotiators
working on armistice supervision
met for almost 412 hours, their
longest session yet.
Col. Andrew J. Kinney said the
Communists hit a “dizzy new high
in intransigence and illogic,” br
inging the negotiations to a “di
smal new low.”
Hits New Low
Nonethless, Kinney said “we
now have a clear circle drawn
around the things that might be
solved.”
Kinney said the Communists
approve insertion of “Korea” in
the clause. This would allay U. N.
command fears that the armistice
might ban possible naval action
along the China coast or in For
mosan waters.
In return, Kinney said, the Al
lies would drop demands that
each side report the location of
all major military units and agree
not to concentrate its armies to
pose a threat to the other side.
Once before the Communists
tentaively agreed to limit the ban
on naval blockades to I%):;mt wa
ters. But. Thursday ran
slators backtracked and tossed the
problem back to the staff officers.
Kinney asked the Reds to re
consider their stand on ports of
entry. If they agreed to permit six |
ports, rather than five, he said
the U. N. would re-examine its
stand on other issues.
North Korean Col. Chang Chun
San replied that he was interest
ed in only three issués—naval
blockade, unit location reports and
concentration of forces. |
Rumors Say UN
Has Ultimatum
By ROBERT EUNSON
TOKYO, March 14—(AP)—
Rumors are cropping up again that
the Allies are getting ready to give
the Reds an “ultimatum.” £
“Bunk—completely ridiculous,”
says Brig. Gen. William P. Nuc
kols, spokesman for the United
Nations truce delegation.
Since the talks began last July,
tt ere have been half a dozen stale
mates—hopeless-appearing dead
locks where neither side seemed
able to take a backward step.
The current headon collision at
Panmunjom: is over two major
issues: s e
I{—The Reds want the Russians
named as neutral observers to ad
minister details of the armistice.
The U. N. command delegates say
“not on your life.”
92— The U. N. command wants vol
untary repatriation for all prison
ers; that is don’t send anyone back
unless he wants to go. The Reds
say “not on your life—we want
them all.” 2
Meanwhile, half a million men
on each side squat in foxholes and

Sen. Connally Decries
Foreign Aid Spending
BY EDWARD B. HAAKINSON
WASHINGTON, March 14— (AP)—Senator Connally
(D.-Texas) shouted angrily today that the United States
“can’t go on forever appropriating large sums of money”’
to Britain, France and other countries.
Connally, chairman of the Sen~
ate Foreign Relations Committee
studying President Truman’s $7,-
900,000 foreign air program, chal
lenged mutual security director W,
Averell Harriman time and again
as Harriman bid for congressional
support of the aid plans.
Economy-minded congressmen
have voiced their intention to do
plenty of cutting in the multi
billion dollar aid program.
Harrim .the senators tl
plan lriclu?eifi billi n dolllti’!qg‘
“defense support” funds with Bri
tain and France getting the lion’s
share of the money.
He said Russia is spending
money everywhere and giving
vast sums of military equipment
to her satellites.
“We are facing a world-wide
struggle,” Harriman asserted,
“and it is very much in our in
terest to help our Allies to build
up their military strength.”
It was at this point that Con
nally shouted that the U. S. “can’t
go on forever appropriating large
sums of money to the United
Kingdom, France and other coun
tries.”
And, he declared, “we are under
no obligation” to do so.
Connally complained particu
larly about 300-million dollars in
economic aid to Britain in recent
months.
“The prime minister, when he
came over here, said he wasn’t
coming to ask for aid,” Connally
said. “Did you run after him and
give it to him?”
Harriman called this “a wise
decision,” and said it was to this
country’s interest to aid its allies.
Harriman told Connally the eco~
nomic aid was granted under a
provision of the aid law permit
ting the transfer of 10 per cent of
funds from military to economic

Congress Passes Truman's
Revenue Organization Plan
Russians May
Veto Austrian
Peace Treaty
By JOHN SCALI
WASHINGTON, March 14 —
(AP) -+~ Russia is believed ready
to fire back a quick emphatic “no”
to a new big three proposal for
a streamlined Austrian Peace
Treaty.
Officials say the Russian turn
down, if and when it comes, will
virtually kill the last western hope
that a four-power peace treaty
for Austria is possible and will
mean continued Russian and west
ern occupation of Austria until
some other way is found to break
the present. stalemate.
- In formal notes made public
yesterday, the United States, Bri
‘tain, and France appealed to
lMoscow to agree to a pact which
-would fully restore Austrian rule
over its territory.
At the samé time, the United
States denounced Russia for stall
ing on a peace pact and failing
to keep a 1943 promise to join the
'west in insuring Austrian indep
endence after the war. .
The new draft treaty was de
signed to replace a pact that bog~
ged down in argument after five
years of talk.
~ Came As Surprise
Seven of the articles in the new
pact were lifted from the orginal.
They had been agreed to by Rus
sia’s representative. The eighth,
however, came as a surprise,
It calls on all four countries to
give up all Austrian property
claimed as former, Nazi assets or
as war booty.
This would hit the Russians
hard, Russia now holds oil, ship
ping and industrial properties in
Austria worth several hundred
million dollars, and is believed to
be making about 50 millions an
nually from their 50 millions an-
Under a 1949 western agree
ment with Russia, Moscow was to
be allowed to keep some Austrian
oil and shipping properities and to
get 150 million dollars in exchange
for numerofis Austrian ‘factories
it is now holding.
American officials justified the
new article, however, by emphasi
zing the 1949 agreement was made
on condition that Russia agree to
the entire peace pact, which it has
failed to do. b
Another article provides for
evacuation of all occupation forces
within 90 days after the treaty
goes into effect.
This would automatically force
Russia to withdraw an estimated
40,000 troops which it has used as
a pressure force in eastern Europe.
Further, it would wipe out the
legal justification for maintaining
troops in nearby Hungary and Ru
mania, where troops are permitted
only ag “lines of communication”
to serve Russian occupation forces
in Austria.

OPS Slans Ceiling On
Horsemeat For Humans
By FRANK E. CAREY
WASHINGTON, March 14 —
(AP)—*“l’m so hungry I could eat
a horse.” § Ll
You've heard people say that,
but are they actually doing it be
cause they find other meat too
expensive?
Dr. C. H.%Pals was asked if the
government knew anything about
that. He said he hadn’t heard of
anything like it. Neither had offi
cials of the U, S. Public Health
Service.
« But the Office of Price Stabili
zation imposed dollars-and-cents
ceilings on horse meat foi both
animal and human consumers last
night, saying: =
“Horse meat is used extensively
as an ingredient in food products
for animals, especially in dog food,
and to a limited extent as a food
for human consumption.”
Dr. Pals, who is with the Agri
culture Department’s meat inspec
tion divisian, said he -did know
that » federally-inspected, unadul
terated horsemeat is entirely okay
for human censumption. 2
~So also,. said Dr. Pals, is fed
erally-inspected horsemeat that
goes into certain canned dog foods.

Government To
Seek Recovery
Of 4] Vessels
WASHINGTON, March 14 —
(AP) — Senators inquiring into
highly profitable deals in surplus
government ships were informed
today that the Justice Department
is checking to determine whether
47 vessels can be recovered by the
government.
In the wind-up of hearings by
the Senate Investigations Subcom=-
mittee:
1. Thomas E. Stakem, a Mari
time Administration official, testi«
tied there is a “serious question™
as to whether there was compli
ance with the law in the cases of
47 ships. He said the Justice De
partment is pursuing the matter
vigorously.
2. Raymond S. McKeough, for
mer member of the old U, S, Mar
itime Commission, described as
illegal a three-ship deal involving
government cleanup man New
bold Morris, i
The Justice Department already
has brought a suit to recover the
S. S. Meacham from the United
Tanker Corp., a shipping firm
whose stock is owned by a foun
dation headed by Morris,
Stakem described this suit as a
‘“test case.”
He said the 47 ships about which
there is “serious question” include
all eight of the surplus tankers ob=
tained from the old Maritime
Commission by a group of promi=-
nent persons which included ex-
Rep. Joseph E. Casey; the late
Edward Stettinius, former Secre
tary of State; and Admiral Wil
liam F. (Bull) Halsey, World War
Two hero.
The Casey group sold three
tankers, at $450,000 profit, to
United Tanker Corp,
McKeough called {fllegal the
transaction involved here.
Governor Seeks
Funds For Alto
ATLANTA, March 14—(AP)—
Gov. Herman Talmadge said today
that he may dip into state surplus
funds to continue operation of the
Alto Hospital as a venereal di
sease treatment center. g
The former state tuberculosis
institution has been operated for
several years as a venereal disease
center with federal funds. Cur
tailment of federal allocations has
threatened to close the operation
on July 1.
Some consideration has been
given to transfer of the hospital
to the State Welfare Department
as a unit of the Milledgeville State
Hospital.
Talmadge said today, however,
that he has een conferring with
Dr. T. F.Sellers, state health di
rector, “and I'm thinking about
allocating money from state sur
plus funds to continue the opera
tion as a VD center.”
Talmadge said he was very
much impressed with figures pre=-
sented by Dr. Sellers on the re
duetion in the VD infection rate
in the state since Alto was opened
as a VD treatrhent center.
SONJA HENIE SUED
BALTIMORE, March 14 —(AP)
—The Sonja Henie ice revue and
others are being sued for a total
of $4,218,000 as a result of a
bleacher collapse at a show last
week.
But he added that these canned
pireparations 'have other things
added to them, such as ground
bone, which are great stuff for
dogs, but would make the food
“unsatisfactory” for human con
sumption.
Must Be Inspected
Dr. Pals said all bulk horsemeat
designed for sale in interstate
Commerce must pass federal in
epection under the same standards
prevailing for beef, lamb and
pork—and is therefore fit for hu
man consumption.
But he said horsemeat not ear
marked for interstate sale does not

he added, since some states do net
require their own horsemeat in
spection—and since the meat is
presumed to be for animals only—
it is possible that some of it is
prepared under substandard san
itary conditions and might be dan
gerous to humans.
Some other government officials
told a reporter that while there is
no real evidence to prove it, hu
man consumption of horsemeat in
this country may be on the in
crease. At least, these officials say,

The Senate gave the President
the biggest triumph thus far in
the 1952 Congress by approving
the plan 53 to 37 late yesterlic,,
after two days of debate.
Senators, by endorsing the pro
gram, gave up one of their cnt
ished and time-honored preroga
tives—the right to participate in
naming Internal Revenue Collec~
tors in the states.
Truman and his Senate sup
porters argued that the elimina<
tion of political patronage from
appointment of collectors was the |
key anti-corruption provision in
the plan. :
Seven collectors have been fired
or forced to quit in the last year
in the wake of a series of fax
scandals largely uncovered im
Congressional probes. .
Senator George (D.-Ga.), who
fought the plan bitterly, fold a
reporter “It's now squarely up to
the President, the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue to clean up the :
Revenue Bureau, not only ins
Washington but across the eoun-
Y.
Corruption Issue .
He said the President amd his
supporters made corruption the
issue in the fight over the reor
ganization proposal and got what
they said they needed to elimdi
nate it.
George heads the Senate Fi
nance C~mmittee which handies
tax bills and has legislative juris
diction over the Treasury.
Dr. Robert L. Johnson, national
chairman of the Citizens’ Commit
tee for the Hoover Report, bailed
the move as “a victory for better
government.” He said “Cengress
has met & great responsibility
squarely.”
Secretary of the Treasury Sny
der, hailing the favorable vote,
said the change would be made as
speedily as possibie, but slow
enough so as not to effect effi
ciency.
’ Internal Revené,lo Commissioner
John B. Dunlap said the nm—
ization can bé put into t
within a year. The first step—and
one that must be taken at once—
is to name acting heads of the
collectors’ offices, since the posts
of the present 64 collectors are
abolished.
The present collectors nay take
the Civil Service exams for the
new top administrative field jobs
in the Bureau if they quality. But
Dunlap said most of them will be
out. He said the Bureau needs ex-~
perienced and skilled tax men in
the posts.
Seventeen of the collectors now
in office have Civil Service status,
and these may be found qualified
to stay on.
