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.

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.

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 .

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.

Dutch occupying detachments were withdrawn from Madjalaja and Tjitjalengka, burned over towns 15 miles Southeast and 15 miles East of Bandoeng, respec tively.

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.” Leaning toward Connally. the 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 damental basis of the American form of government. “There is a great cause here and the American public rccqg r.izes that cause,’ he said.

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.
