that President Truman’s seizure

Philip Murray called a nation

For a few moments it appeared
that the decision had been unani

a dissenting opinion by Chief Jus
tice Vinson, in which Justices
Reed and Minton joined. :
Black’s opinion said Truman’s
April 8 order for ‘seizure of the
steel industry “cannot properly be
sustained as an exercise of the
President’s military power as com
mander-in-chief of the armed
forces.”
Black added:
“Nor can the seizure order be
sustained because of the several
constitutional provisions that
grant executive power to the
President.”
Not the Lawmaker
“In the framework of our Con

dent’s power to see that'the laws
are faithfully executed refutes the
idea that he is to be a lawmaker.”
Truman told his news confer
ence May 22 he would abide by
the court’s ruling and would turn
the mills back to their owners and
then see what happens.
At the same time, however, the
President irsisted he has the in

that nobody — neither Congress

Friends of Sen. Richard B. Rus

eve of a runoff election to pick
Alabama’s last remaining delegate
to the Democratic national con

Of the two candidates fighting it
out in the Fourth Congressional
District, one is an avowed booster
of the Georgia senator and the
other says he is inclined to sup
port Russell even though he's un
committed.
Runoff Choice
The other 25 delegates were
elected in the first primary May
6. Tomorrow’s runoff is a choice
between Ira L. Armstrong of Tal
ladega and former State Sen. Tom
Blake Howle of Anniston, neither
of wpoF got a majority on the
first ballot.
Armstrong is pledged to vote for
Russell at the presidential nomi
nating convention. Howle hasn’t
announced either way except to
say he is “leaning” to the Georgia
candidate,
Although 26 delegates will go to
Chicago, they will have only 22
votes, the eight from the state at
Jarge getting a half-vote each. Of
those committed so far, seven are
for Russell and seven for Sen.

Hints Of Rough Campaign Face lke
As Taft Hits Hard At Foreign Policy
-
Senator Seeking
.
US. Air Armada
WASHINGTON June 2 (AP)—
Sen. Robert A. Taft says a strong
American foreign policy must be
built around air power potent en
ough to protect this continent from
attack and capable of bombing
Russia’s heartland.
On this score, the Ohio senator
said, the administration and Sen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, has prin
cipal opponent for the Republican
presidential nomination, have
failed.
Taft said “there has been a
steady deterioration in our com
parative air power, which began
while Gen. Eisenhower was chief
of staff.”
Criticised Administration
The administration, Taft de
clared, hag permitted this mnation
to lose the air supremacy it had
at the end of World War II while
spending billions of dollars on
everseas handouts.
In a speech broadcast nationally
by NBC yesterday, the Ohio sena
tor made only passing mention of
Eisenhower by name but he ap
parently was having his say before
the general makes his first political
speech in Abilene, Kan., \m:dnes
day. Eisenhower arrived here from
Paris yesterday to start winding
up his military duties before be
ginning a self-limited presidential
nomination campaign.
Taft linked President Truman,
Secretary of State Acheson and
Eisenhower to -America’s current
foreign policy. He said this policy
“jg maintaining either our secu
rity nor our peace nor our sol
vency.”
Taft said his GOP opponents at
tack him whenever he differs with
administration foreign policy, ad
ding:
Foreign Polioy Attack
“They seem to be afraid that a
dufi attack on the administration
'{¢' “an attack on General Eisen
hower.”
Repeatedly Taft emphasized that
in the Republican presidential
campaign. “there must be no hes
istation about attacking the fore
ign policy of Mr. Truman and Mr.
Acheson.” ;
“We cannot afford to nominate
a candidate who will not condemn
the utter failure of Mr. Truman’s
administration,” Taft said.
The Ohion called bijartisanship
in present foreign policy a fraud.
“When Mr. Truman talks of it.”
Taft said, “he means that he will
make the policy and the Republi
cans must always go along with
.
Campaign Issue
Foreign policy is so tied in with
domestic policy that it must be a
campaign issue, Taft said. He de
clared it brought the draft of
American boys, “a war in Korea
which could have been avoided,”
85 billion dollars yearly in govern
ment spending, the highest taxes
in history and widespread govern
ment controlls.
CANARY FEAST
SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 2.—

canary got an assist from a 5-
year-oid boy.

Action On German Pact
Senate Is Asked ‘
To Set The Pace
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, June 2—(AP).
President Truman will ask the
Senate today for the fastest pos
sible approval of an indirect mili
tary alliance between the United
States and West Germany.
The President’s aides had ready
for submission to the Senate cop
ies of the pacts which Secretary
of State Achesqn signed, or whose
signing he witnessed, in Europe
last week. With the pacts goes a |
statement reportedly emphasizing
the administration’s view that
Senate consent to U. 8. ratifica
tion of the documents prior to the 1
adjournment of Congress isg of ut- ‘
most importance, Treaties of the
United States are not effective un- :
til approved by the Senate, |
See Bitter Fights j
Foreseeing bitter parliamentary
fights in France, Germany and
possibly other European countries
over the addition of West Ger
many to the European defense
system, the Truman administra
tion would like the Senate to set
the pace. This would be a means
of demonstrating to the Europeans
this country’s determination to get
on with the task of linking Ger
many into the Allied system.
Little opposition has appeared |
in the Senate thus far, and sena
tors interviewed today predicted
quick approval.
The occasion afforded the Presi
dent an opportunity also to warn
the Russians of the seriousness.
with which the U. 8. regards the
German situation. Red leaders in
Germany have called for “extreme
national resistance,” including
sabotage, strikes and the like, to
prevent the final forking of the
links between the anti-Communist
Western bloc and the West Ger
man state. The Reds even hinted
at civil war.
Important Documents
The documents which require
Senate approval if they are to be
ratified by the President are:
1. The peace contract by which
the United States, Britain and
France would give West Germany
virtual independence, thereby lay
ing the basis for it to rearm and
participate in the defense forces
and international councils of West
Europe as an equal.
2. An Amendment to the North
Aflanta Treaty, extending the
guarantees of that pact (an attack
on one will be congidered an at
tack on all) to the projected new
European Defense Community
(EDC). The European Defense
Community, it has been agreed,
will make a similar commitment
to the North Atlantic Treaty na
tions as a group. |

Holiday Deaths
\
First Predicted
By The Associated Press
Mounting returns on the Mem-=-
orial Day weekend slaughter on
the highways have:
Surpassed the previcus record
toll for a three-day Memorial Day
holiday.
Exceeded the National Safely
Council's advance prediction of
the number who would die in
traffic accidents.
; All-Time High
Reached a figure from which
they might leap to an all-time re
cord for the season’s traditional
outing.
At least 334 persons died in
traffie accidents—about one every
14 minutes during the 78 hour
period from 6 p. m. Thursday un
til midnight Sunday. The council
had said the toll might reach 310.
Now a council spokesman says,
“it might eventually be as high as
350.”
The previous high for a three
day Memorial Day weekend was
253, recorded in 1949. The all-time
record set in 1950, during a four=
day Memorial holiday, is 347.
Other forms of violent death,
including 78 drownings and 58 in
a variety of accidents made the
holiday toll this year at least 476.
There are no authoritative com=-
parisons for the overall traffic
drowning-miscellaneous total.
GEORGIA ACCIDENTS
Six persons were killed by traf
fic accidents in Georgia and three
Georgians perished in an autemo

ing the Memorial Day weekend.

With Eisenhower |
By ELTON C. FA¥Y ¢ °
WASHINGTON, June 2—(AP)
Dwight D. Eisenhower, soldies
turning politician, was here today,
to say farewell to arms.
Behind him were 37 years as an
Army officer, including two pefi
’ods as supreme commander of
the armies of the West in BEuropes
Before him looms one of the
roughest and most bitter political:
campaigns in recent history. And¥
the hardest fighting is likely to
be within the Re;i)ulblican partyy
for the presidential no i
which Sen. Robert A. '.[l::m
others are seeking.
Big Transition
. This was transition. Yesterday
‘the five-star general stood by the
'plane which brought him h’oa
' Paris, smiling in the warmth
a summer sun and a military wel
come for a great soldier come
'home. Tomorrow afternoen he
will be faced by the cold facts of
political life.
) That is when he has sald ha
will doff his uniform, after his las#
call at the Pentagon. He makes his
first speech in mufti at Abilene,
Kan., Wednesday.
Even as he arrived, Taft's cam=
paign headquarters got out &
| statement welcoming him back te
his country but regretting that “he
didn’t return sooner.”
“Now that he is about te take
off his battle jacket we of the Re=
publican party hope that he will
’start fighting,” said a statement
by Rep. B. Carroll Reece of Ten
nessee, manager of the committee
backing the Ohio senator for the
GOP nomination.
Foes Suggestions
Reece suggested Eisenhower
could start by “telling us whethew
or not the plan to spend half &
million dollars in paying the ex+
\penses of delegates to come and
see him has his approval”
This was a reference to a bid
from Eisenhower backers for GOP
convention delegates to visit the
'general at the expemse of local
