Keep Same Plates
Fifteen years ago, the couple
got license number 1868—the same
number as the year in which they
were born—and they’ve held it
ever since.
The couple beamed as the Rev.
Herbert Frank, pastor of the
Farmingtoh, Minn . United Evan

brief wedding service.
Hielscher, nearly six feet tall,
towered his small wife. He smiled
behind his white moustache at
persons he’d known many years..
“I’ve got about as many relatives
as there are stars in the sky,” he
said, “and it looks like just about
ell of them are here.”
The “bride” was given away by
her grandson, Stewart Hielscher,
also of Seattle. She forsook her
36-year-old wedding dress “for
something easier to walk in.” She
also wore an orchid.
Proud of Car
At the party which followed the
cererrjonies, the elder Hieischer
could talk only of his car. He said
the 1,900-mile trip from Seattle

Neither he nor his wife w^ns

Hielscher said they would stay

SALT LAKE CITY, July 27—VP)
—James A. Farley predicted to
day that the Democrat party
would: nominate President Tru
man for the 1948 presidential
race, pick a vice-presidential nom
inee from a populous state “east
of Ohio,” and win the election if
present economic conditions con
tinue.
The foreign situation at the time
will have considerable effect on
the election, the former postmas
ter general told a Tribune report
er, but the Democratic party
cause will be abetted by the abili
ties of Secretary of State Marshall,
whom Farley described as a
“strong and popular public serv
ant.”
Here on a business trip, Farley
declared;
“It looks like President Truman
will be the Democratic nominee
in 1948, lor he has been a good
leader and his popularity js
strong and solid.
“I would guess that President
Truman will have to go east of
Ohio-for his running mate, because
the bulk of those electoral v.otes
must come from those more pop
ulous states.”
The Coco-Cola company execu
tive had this to say about Demo
cratic chances in 1948:
“I mighf say that if prosperity
continues, there is not much un
employment and business general
ly is good, the people won’t vote
the party out of power.”
Farley arrived here from Reno,
Nev., this morning and had train
reservations for Grand Junction,
Colo., tonight.

rapidly taking shape and will be
completed at 5:30 o’clock this af

Derby officials and the advisory
committee to be held at the YMCA.
Official Derby helmets and arm
bands will be issued at the meet
ing and full attendance of person
nel is requested by Derby head
quarters.
While the parade committee first
considered the possibility of having
the boys entered in the Derby
march in a body in the parade, due
to sponsorship request, each boy
will ride on the truck with his
racer.
Chairman Copeland reported yes
terday that he is meeting with a
fine response from firms who are
sponsoring boys in the Derby and
it is now expected that enough
trucks will be made available to
carry all of the boy-built racers

'Dutch victory theie was a cosily
one as far as the wealth of the
island was concerned, adding that
Dutch troop found Tegal, an im
portant Java port, had been
tiansformed into a city of ashes
as part of the Republic’s scorched
earth policy. The Indonesians
claimed that heavy fighting s.ill
was going on in the neighboring
city of Brebes, on the Cheribon
Tegal road.
Both sides accused their oppo
nents of viola Jng principle of
humane warfare. The Dutch com
munique said that Republican
forces, counterattacking with ar
tillery support neai the village of
Genoeksari in the Semarang area
of the central front, had used In
donesian women as shields. The
bulletin added that the Republi
can troops there were “repulsed
with losses’’ and the Dutch truck
out in a movement to clear ihe
area on the distant approaches to
the Republican capital of Jogja
karta.
An Indonesian communique said
two Dutch fighter planes, strafing
the East central front communi
cations center ol Malang, nad
used dum-dum bullets.
Consolidate Hold
The Indonesian also announced
that in East Java 25 miles South
ot the port of Probolinggo, Ameri
can-trained Dutch Marines and
Indonesian units were fighting in
side the town of Loemadjang. The
Indonesian report accused the
Dutch of killing all Indonesians
wearing colored shirts resembling
those of army uniform . In this
region the Dutch were consolida
ting their hold On Eastern Java
which they pinched olf three days
ago.
Faced witn the scorched-earih
tactics of the Indonesians, the
Dutch announced steps to get to
world markets the great stores of
rew materials captured by Neth
erlands troop .
The Netherlands Navy ordered
the Java ports of Cheribcn,
Probolinggo and Banjoewangi, all
three occupied by Dutch troops,
opened to normal trade Monday.
January regulation,-, under which
all ships were foiced to submit
10 inspection by the Dutch before
entering these ports now aie
abrogated, the announcement
said.
Simultaneously the Dutch Navy
siammed the dour shut on ail sea
traffic along the East coa;'. of
Sumatra between Amphitrite bay
and Langea bay. A blockade vas
declared there ’o halt the smug
gling of arms to Republican
forces, a communique said.
Russian Comment
tin the first editorial comment
In the Soviet press on the Indo
nesian struggle, Soviet writer A.
Eelskaya described the fighting
as an attempt by the Dutch to
“resurrect a colonial regime hate
ful to the people.” -He described
the war as “open aggression
against the Indonesian people”
and charged that the United
Slates and Britain were support
ing the Dutch by arms, military
missions and diplomatic pressure
on the Indonesian Republic to
submit to Dutch demands.)
The Dutch seal-off of Western
Java came when a motorized
force sped 25 miles Southwest of
Soekaboemi and reached Palabot
hanratoe on Wijnkoops bay, a
Netherlands Army communique
••
said. This move divided the Re
publican forces en Java from
those battling the Dutch on Suma
tra.
Just to the East Dutch units
operating 20 miles South of Ban
doeng seized the power station at
Pengalengan, the bulletin said,
aoding that “to all appearances
the power station was undamag
ed” although Republican forces
put up heavier resistance than
usual.
Dutch occupying detachments
were withdrawn from Madjalaja
and Tjitjalengka, burned over
towns 15 miles Southeast and 15
miles East of Bandoeng, respec
tively. The Dutch said these
troops had been assigned to
duties elsewhere and that no re
sistance was met at either place
before the withdrawal. The Re
publican radio said yesterday,
however, that Indonesian troops
had retaken both towns.

ADJOURNMENT
(Continued From Page One)
the nominations, principally Perl
man’s, was touched off by ihe
failure of a Republican move ;o
investigate the Justice dep^n
ment’s handling of alleged vote
frauds in .Kansas City.
Perlman was confirmed 58 to 21
after Senator Brewster (R-Me)
abandoned a fighl to del y or
block action. He acknowledged ne
was motivated by resentment at
the GOP leadership’s failure to
force the Kansas City investiga
tion to a vote ever Democratic
opposition.
“We have been denied the op
portunity to vote on the resolu
tion by the dilatory tactics inal
have been indulged in every time
the matter has ccme up,” Brews
ter ehouted.
“Sometimes it is necessary to
fight fire with fire. How else are
these little boys ever to be taught
tnat they should not play with
matches?”
Donnell Objects
Senator Donnell CR-Mo), who
favored confirmation of Perlman,
objected that Brewster was uti
lizing the same tactics the Demo
crats used when he succeeded ;n
having a clerk read a long ad
dress made by Tydings more than
six years ago.
The Senate finally voted to have
the clerk stop the reading, and
Brewster then gave up the fight.
He said he did so at the urging
oi his Republican colleagues.
Tydings objected vehemently
when Brewster accused hi:n of
taking part in a filibuster against
the resolution by Senator Kem
(R-Mo) to authorize an investiga
tion into Attorney General Clark's
handling of the Kansas City case.
Tydings declared he was “for the
Kem resolution and I told Sena
tor Kem so rignt in this cham
ber.”
The long Perlman dispute fol
lowed a bitter attack by Senator
Connally (D-Tex) upon Senator
Ferguson (R-Mich) after Fergu
son accused Democrats of a fili
buster against the investigation.
Ferguson had demanded a vote
on the Kem resolution.
Connally Censured
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich),
the presiding officer, ordered Con
nally to “take his seat” at one
point after Senators Brooks (R
Iil) and Taft (R-Ohio) had pro
tested that Connally’s barbed
words violated Senate rules.
■While jammed galleries titter
ed.'Connally accused Ferguson of
Presidential ambitions and cf
waiting “to capitahze, get public
ity. make a reputation.”
The Texan said Ferguson had
attacked Clark on the Senate floor
where Clark had no chance to
reply and was “playing' for the
headlines, publicity and political
venom.” *
His face flushing as he warmed
to his attack amid laughs from
the Democrats and the galleries,
Connally said Ferguson had at
tempted' to cover Clark and Presi
dent Truman with “innuendoes,
slime, and slander.”
“I have stood a'l of this I can
stand.” the veteran Texan con
tinued. “I had no desire to en
gage in this debate had not the
junior Senator from Michigan got
ten up again and covered the
whole case with the vomit of his
P’ejudice and rancor and hatred
and hope and ambition.”
Ferguson sat nearby pale but
silent. Other Republicans stirred
ir their chairs.
The galleries laughed again as
Connally described politicians
who get Presidential ambitions.
“When a Senator gets the ambi
tion to run for President of the
United States, no longer is he
i worth a damn, ’ Connally con
timed.
Connally said that if Ferguror
were a Texas judge he would be
disqualified for his “venom,
spleen and political hatred.”
Finally Brooks broke in to say
that Connally had violated Senate
rules prohibiting one Senator
from reflecting upon the charac
tei or Integrity of another.
“I call the Senator to order,”
Taft yelled at Vandenberg.
Vandenberg directed Connally
to take his seat.
“Why do I have to take my
seat?” Connally p"otested.
Vandenberg read the Senr'e
rule.
Connally denied one statement
and offered to withdraw it.
But Senator Hawkes (R-NJ) de
manded that the official Senate
reporter of debate read the rec
ord.
“Boo.” Connally turned around
and shouted at Hawkes.
Vandenberg rapped violently for
order and announced, “this is go
ing no further.”
Connally Continues
He said that Connally definitely
had violated the rule and put to
a voice vote whether to allow
Connally to eontin uc"orde.’r‘i
Connally to continue “in order."
Although Republican “n o ’ s ’
seemed louder than Democratic
“yes’s.” Vandenberg allowed
Connally to continue.
“I don’t want to reflect upon
any Senator,” Connally said, and
then renewed his criticism of Fer
guson in milder terms.
Finally Ferguson reolied.
speaking slowly and deliberately,
although he said tiiis was difficult
because of “personal villifica
tion.”

silver-haired Republican said he
fully understood the “intended
slurs” but ignored them "because
there is a great cause involved
here.”
Ferguson said this cause was
protection of the ballot — the fun

form of government.
“There is a great cause here
and the American public rccqg
r.izes that cause,’ he said.

and sweat, toil and tears” terms
were prominent among those who
invited him to address them at a
special meeting behind closed
doors next Wednesday.
May Resign
Attlee accepted. No official ink
ling was given of the line he would
take in answer to his “friendly”
critics, but the possibility that he
might offer to resign—if calls for
stronger leadership persisted—was
freely discussed.
Bevin — A leading candidate to
succeed Attlee should the Prime
Minister step down — and the oth
er prominent political figures who
spoke over the weekend were in
general agreement about the rea
sons Britain is sliding toward the
brink of crisis:
1. The multi-billion dollar Amer
ican loan is running out much fast
er than Britain expected: It will
be exhausted as early as Decem
ber, by many estimates: and—
2. Production of goods for ex
port is not rising fast enough to
meet Britain’s import debt, offi
cially reckoned at more than $1,
600,000,000 this year. A major rea
son is—
3. Coal production, under the
five-day week introduced last
spring, is not yet high enough,
Horner, speaking for the miners,
said yesterday the target of 200,
000.000 tons this year probably
could not be reached.
Unions Seek Aid
On Wednesday, after his session
with the Laborites, Attlee is sched
uled to receive a deputation of
mine workers’ leaders who are ask
ing special inducements, such as
more food and houses for the men,
to spur production.
Should the Prime Minister grant
these, heads of other unions are
primed to ask similar concessions
tor their members. The more that
is consumed at home, the less
there will be for the export drive.
The less Britain exports, the less
food she can import.
Not all those who demand "ac
tion and leadership” from the
Prime Minister are ready to say
what action he should take or m
which direction he should lead.
