Truman Backs Byrnes to Limit;
Says Conflict Imperiled Prestige
<
✓
Nation Must Stand as Unit,
He Declares in 260-Word
Statement Read to Press
By Joseph A. Fox
President Truman today ousted Henry A. Wallace as
Secretary of Commerce in a blunt reaffirmation of this
Nation’s foreign policy.
In a terse, 260-word statement which he read to a news
conference, the President backed Secretary of State Byrnes
to the limit and said:
“I have today asked Mr. Wallace to resign from the cabinet.
It had become clear that between his views on foreign policy and
those of the administration—the latter being shared, I am
confident, by the great body of our citizens—there was funda
mental conflict. We could not permit this conflict to jeopardize
our position in relation to other countries.”
Within an hour. Mr. Wallace submitted the resignation. In
which he declared, “I shall continue to fight for peace.” Aides
said, however, that he "will make no campaign speeches this fall.”
Since a cabinet officer serves only at the pleasure of the President,
a request for his resignation leaves no other course but compliance.
The removal of Mr. Wallace—last of the original Roosevelt
cabinet—takes from administration ranks a strong favorite of
“left-wing” voters, and is calculated to have its effect in the
November election.
It came as the climax of a*
controversy that raged botjr
home and abroad, following a
speech by Mr. Wallace a week
ago last night in which he urged
a “go-easy-with-Russia” policy
a^t a New York Democratic polit
ical rally staged by the Political
Action Committee and the Inde
pendent Citizens’ Committee of
the Arts, Sciences and Profes
sions.
The »peech put him in direct
conflict with Secretary Byrnes and
the Capital wondered today just
what part Mr. Byrnes might have
played in the ouster, which followed
by just 24 hours a teletype “con
versation” between the President
and Secretary of State, which was
their first personal contact since
the furore started.
Without any equivocation, Mr.
Truman reiterated his “complete

his desk at the Commerce
Department this morning.

confidence in Mr. Byrnes and his
delegation now representing this
country at the Paris Peace Confer
ence.”
No Change Contemplated.
Stressing that the country’s for
eign policy is unchanged, and that
no change is contemplated, the
President added pointedly:
•'No member of the Executive
Branch of the Government will
make any statement as to foreign
policy which is in conflict with our
established foreign policy.”
In his statement last Saturday,
recanting on his earlier approval of
the Wallace speech. Mr Truman
had said he had meant to do no
more than approve his right to talk.
While Mr. Byrnes kept silent, col
leagues were not slow to criticize
that policy, and the situation, it
was made clear, was not eased any
when the President called Mr. Wal
lace in Wednesday for a talk which

Text of Truman
Statement on
Wallace Ouster
President Declares
Foreign Policy Will
Remain Unchanged
Following is the text of Presi
dent Truman's statement today
announcing that he has asked
Secretary of Commerce Wallace
to resign:
The foreign policy of this
country is the most important
question confronting; tos today.
Our responsibility for obtain
ing a just and lasting peace
extends not only to the people
of this country but to the na
tions of the world.
The people of the United
States may disagree freely
and publicly on any question,
including that of foreign
policy, but the Government of
the United States must stand
as a unit in its relations with
the rest of the world.
I have today asked Mr. Wal
lace to resign from the cabi
net. It had become clear that
between his views on foreign
policy and those of the ad
ministration—the latter being
shared, I am confident, by the
great body of our citizens—
there was a.fundamental con
flict. We could not permit
this conflict to jeopardize our
position in relation to other
countries. I deeply regret the
breaking of a long and pleas
ant official association, but I
am sure that Mr. Wallace will
be happier in the exercise of
his right to present his views
as a private citizen. I am
confirmed in this belief by
very friendly conversation I
had with Mr. Wallace on the
telephone this morning.
Our foreign policy as estab
lished by the Congress, the
President and the Secretary
of State remains in full force
and effect without change.
No change in our foreign
policy is contemplated. No
member of the executive"'
branch of the Government
will make any public state
ments as to foreign policy
which are in conflict with our
established foreign policy.
Any public statement on for
eign policy shall be cleared by
the Department of State. In
case of disagreement, the
matter will be referred to me.
As I have frequently said, I
have complete confidence in
Mr. Byrnes and his delegation
now representing this country
at the Paris Peace Conference.
Mr. Byrnes consults with me
often and the policies which
guide him and his delegation
have my full indorsement.

Wallace Plans
To Drop Out
Of Campaign
Henry A. Wallace today sent
out word that he was withdraw
ing from the fall political cam
paign, shortly after his resigna
tion as Secretary of Commerce
was submitted to President
Truman.
Bruce Catton, Commerce Depart
ment information director, said Mr.
Wallace told him that he may make
some speeches on foreign policy, I
but that his talks will not be in
support of individual candidacies.
“He definitely will not take part
in the fall campaign," Mr. Catton |
said of the retiring Secretary who
had been counted on heavily by |
the administration to rally the
votes of labor and other liberal
elements behind Democratic candi
dates in the November elections.
Emphasis on Foreign Policy.
A newsman pointed out that Mr.
Wallace has said that the election
of a Democratic Congress was the1
most important subject before the
Nation. Mr. Catton replied: “In his |
(Mr. Wallace’s) mind the most im-j
portant issue of the campaign is the
foreign policy part.”
Mr. Catton was then asked if Mr.
Wallace was “taking a walk' on the
administration.
“He is just not campaigning,” Mr.
Catton replied. “You have to put
your own interpretation on that.”
Among the first names mentioned
in speculation as to Mr. Wallace’s
successor in the cabinet were those
of OPA Administrator Paul Porter
and Undersecretary of State Will
L. Clayton.
Porter Calls on Truman.
Mr. Porter called on President
Truman this morning and said he
had discussed “OPA problems.” i
Asked by reporters If he was going
to be the new Secretary of Com
merce, Mr. Porter laughed, but did
not reply.
Mr. Clayton's specific Job in the
State Department Is concerned with
international economics.
Under operational procedure, Un
dersecretary Alfred Schindler will
direct Commerce Department affairs
until a new secretary is appointed.
Mr. Schindler took office a year and

Ickes Says Wallace
Comes Out With More
Credit Than Truman
Pepper Sees Widespread
Effects of Secretary's
Departure From Cabinet
fty th» Associated Press
Harold L. Ickes, who also
served in the original New Deal
cabinet, said today in comment
ing on the ousting of Secretary
of Commerce Wallace that "Wal
lace comes out of this with more
credit than Truman.”
Mr. Ickes left the cabinet several
months ago after a rou^ with Presi
dent Truman over the nomination
of Edwin W. Pauley to be Undersec
retary oi the Navy. When Franklin
D. Roosevelt entered the White
House in 1933. he named Mr. Wallace
Secretary of Agriculture and Mr.
j Ickes to the Interior Department.
Mr. Ickes told reporters "I don’t
think it is very brave on his (Mr.
Truman s) part” to oust Mr. Wal
lace. He added that Mr. Wallace
had "overstayed himself In the cabi
net,” but said the President "humili
ated himself in agreeing to the
speech (on foreign policy) and then
throwing Wallace to the lions” when
'all of this row was kicked up.”
Pepper Sees Wide Effects.
In Tallahassee, Fla., Senator Pep
per, Democrat, of Florida declared
that he believes the ouster of Mr.
Wallace will have "far-reaching
effects upon the country and prob
ably upon the Democratic party.”
Senator Pepper spoke from the
same platform with Mr. Wallace in
New York September 12 when the
Secretary made his controversial
foreign policy speech.
Senator Pepper, also an outspoken
opponent of the administration’s
foreign policy, said he did not wish
to comment on President Truman’s
request for Mr. Wallaces resigna
tion "until I get the full facts sur
rounding it and can appreciate what
the significance of it is.”
The Senator added, however, “I
assume that President Truman's
silencing of the members of the
Government in respect to our for
eign policy—which means peace or
war—is not intended as an attempt
to stifle freedom of speech in this
country, by members of the Congress
or by the people generally.”
Taft Sees Aid for Byrnes.
In Chicago, Senator Taft, Repub
lican, of Ohio, a Senate GOP leader,
said:
“I don’t see how he (Truman)
could do anything else and l)«ive an
administration foreign policy at all.”
“This action will strengthen
Byrnes’ hand,” the Senator said,
referring to Secretary of State

Voting Upholds
Big 4 on Trieste,
Italian Border
Russia Helps Defeat
11 Proposals for
French Line Change
By the Associated Press
PARIS, Sept. 20.—The Paris
Peace Conference today upheld
the Big Four agreements on the
Italian-Yugoslav boundary and
the borders of the future free
state of Trieste, as the Italian
Political and Territorial Com
mission beat down in vote after
vote every effort to revise the
proposed frontiers.
Faithful to her Big Four commit
ments, Russia cast her ballot against
the boundary revisions, even though
some of them were proposed by the
Slav bloc, which she frequently has
backed.
Edvard Kardelj, Deputy Premier
of Yugoslavia, declared after the
voting that he “regretted the com
mission preferred the method of
the vote instead of conciliation” and
insisted that his earlier remarks,
in which he declared Yugoslavia
would not sign a treaty which she
considered “unfair,’’ be entered in
the commission’s records.
Ballots 11 Times.
The commission balloted 11 times
on proposals to change the borders
of the internationalized, free area of
the port of Trieste, fixed by the Big
Four along the so-called French
line and bounded on the north by
a line drawn from Duino to the
French line, voting down all of them,
except one, by a 13-to-5 count.
White Russia, Poland, Czecho
slovakia, the Ukraine and Yugo
slavia voted for the proposed
changes In most cases and Belgium
and Ethiopia abstained. On the
other proposal, one by South Africa
to enlarge the area so as to include
Pola and other Italian cities down
the Istrian peninsula, the vote was
12 to 6, with Australia, Brazil, Can
ada, New Zealand and the Nether
lands supporting South Africa.
Belgium and China abstained.
In that vote it was the other
three Big Four members who re
mained faithful to their commit
ments, since the South African pro
posal embodied the original ideas
of Britain, France and the United
States on the border question.
Sought to Avoid Showdown.
Czechoslovakia earlier had sought
to avoid a showdown on the border
issues by proposing establishment
of a special subcommission com
posed of White Russia, Canada,
China, Ethiopia and Yugoslavia to
work out a “stable solution” satis
factory to all, but that was beaten
10 to 7, with Belgium, France and
Ethiopia abstaining, and India and
the Slav countries, including Russia,
voting for It.
The other amendments, proposed
by Yugoslavia and White Russia,
would have moved the Italian-Yugo
slav border westward at Italy’s ex
pense and trimmed the free state
area to the city limits of Trieste.
Yugoslavia joined Belgium in ab
staining from the vote on the sec

Byrnes Keeps Silent
On Wallace's Ouster
ty tho Awocioted Press
PARIS, Sept. 20. — Secretary of
State Byrnes will issue no statement
“either now or later” on the ouster
of Henry A. Wallace as Secretary of
Commerce, an associate said tonight.
"He hasn’t said anything since
the whole affair started, and he is
not going to say anything now,” the
aide said.
Persons close to Mr. Byrnes re
ported “he didn’t look displeased”
at the news.
Was Mr. Byrnes surprised?
“Well, yes and no,” was the an
swer. “If he was expecting anything
like this, he didn’t show it last
night or today.”
Mr. Byrnes sent word to Senators
Connally, Democrat, of Texas and
Vandenberg, Republican, of Mich
igan, his advisers, who were attend
ing Peace Conference committee
meetings. They left immediately
for Mr. Byrnes’ hotel, where the
Secretary of State handed them the
statement from Washington with
out commenting. The Senators in
dicated they would consult with Mr.
Byrnes before deciding whether to
comment.
Both Senators Connally and Van
denberg had issued statements Sat
urday supporting Mr. Byrnes in the
controversy.
Mr. Byrnes was alone at the Hotel
Meurice when the word reached
him. While he was reading the first
Associated Press bulletins, the
American Embassy telephoned that
the text of “an important statement
from the President” was coming in
on the Embassy teletype. The Em
bassy, only a few blocks from the
hotel, then rushed over the full text
of the statement Mr. Truman iSsued
announcing Mr. Wallace’s ouster.

U. S. Rejects Yugoslav Charges
That Officers Were Mistreated
Contention Held 'False and Exaggerated';
Tito Asked to Help Curb 'Terrorists'
By th« Associated Press
The United States today de
nounced as “false and ex
aggerated” charges of improper
treatment of Yugoslav officers.
Simultaneously this country de
manded co-operation from Mar
shal Tito’s government in efforts
to halt “obstructive and terror
istic activities of pro-Slav ele
ments” in the Anglo-American
zone of disputed Venezia Giulia.
In a note made public three days
after it was handed to the Yugo
slav Ministry of Foreign Affairs by
American Ambassador Richard Pat
terson, the United States empha
sized that it "will not be deflected
from its course” of maintaining a
“fair and impartial administraton"
in the zone under its control.
"At the same time," the statement
said, however, “it must once again
deplore in the strongest terms the
failure of the Yugoslav government
to accord in this task the co-oper
ation to which the United States
Government believes itself entitled.”
The 1700-word statement consti
tuted the American answer to two
notes of protest from Tito’s govern
ment—one dated July 26, the other
August 14—which spelled out accu
sations of “improper treatment” of
Yugoslav officers and men in the
Anglo-American zone.
Here are the allegations and the
American replies:

Niagara Lip Crumbles,
Cutting American Falls
To Horseshoe Contour
120-Foot Section Drops,
Shaking Buildings With
Earthquake Violence
By the Associated Press
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Sept.
20.—A huge portion of the brink
of the American falls collapsed
today, shaking this city with
earthquake intensity as it tum
bled down the 168-foot face of
the cataract.
Witnesses said a section of the
rock wall 120 feet in length at the
top and about 30 feet across at the
bottom of the falls tumbled into the
gorge shortly after 10 a.m. with a
terrific roar.
They said it was this side of the
V-shaped section which broke off
in 1942.
Falls Assume Horseshoe Contour.
Tony Guinta, a member of the
Niagara Falls Gazette staff, said the
blast "Shook hell out of the city."
"Our building shook like a maple
leaf in a breeze.”
A Gazette photographer said he
had taken air views of the falls this
morning and that the American
falls, previously almost straight, had
taken on a horseshoe contour simi
lar to that of the Canadian counter
part across the Niagara Gorge.
Residents of the city, crowded
with tourists and honeymooners,
said the shock was felt particularly
in the northern section.
No Change in Flow of River.
State reservation officials said
they were unable to determine the
size of the rock fall because of
dense spray which obscured the
cataract.
No alteration in the flow of the
river over the cataract was immedi
ately apparent, and officials said the
only accurate determination would
be made by taking a photograph and
comparing it with previous photo
graphs.
The officials said if the shock was
caused by a rock fall, the fragment
apparently was smaller than those
which broke from the Canadian
cataract rim in 1931 and the Amer
ican falls in 1937. In the former in
stance 80,000 tons of rock fell, while
the 1937 fall altered the flow of the
cataract.
Residents in a wide area reported
that plaster in their house cracked,
dishes fell from shelves and pic
tures shifted.
11 Norwegians Doomed
In Trondheim Trial
By the Associated Press
OSLO, Norway, Sept. 20.—Eleven

New Plans for GAO Building
Increase Space 25 Per Cent
Revised plans for a new General
Accounting Office at Fifth and G
streets N.W., which would increase
the space 25 per cent over that
provided in earlier designs, were
laid before the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
day by Commissioner W. E. Reynolds
of the Public Buildings Adminis
tration.
After discussing the problem with
the commission, Commissioner
Reynolds said he would make addi
tional studies of the building and
return with them to the planners,
probably at next month's meeting.
He said the new structure would
cost materially more than the $10,
000,000 authorised in 1988, because
of advanced construction expenses
since that time. He said he is
considering a solid block type of
building under the new plan, rather
than one with wings.
Commissioner Reynolds declared
no additional land acquisition is
needed under the new program.
Excavations at the site have already
been made for the basement, but
actual construction was halted dur
ing the war.
Under the new plans, Commis
sioner Reynolds foresees additional
space, air-conditioning and modern
lighting. They would provide, hej
said, for about 200,000 additional j

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Eight
een persons, including 8 women,
were found alive at the wreckage
of a Belgian airliner which
crashed Wednesday with 44 per
sons aboard near Gander, New

An Army medical officer at the
scene said six or eight persons could
be moved by land, the Coast Guard
reported. One of the usrviving wom

Helicopter to Aid in Rescue.
Meanwhile, Coast Guard head
quarters said it was disassembling a
helicopter at Floyd Bennett Field to
be placed on an Army C-54 trans
port plane and flown to Gander.
The helicopter was needed to take
off badly injured persons, the Coast
