New Bar President
To Take Office Today
As Convention Closes
By Associated Pros*
CLEVELAND, Sept. 26. — The
American Bar Association prepared
today to close its 70th annual meet
ing - with a rush of final business
and "the presentation of a new presi
dent, Tappan Gregory of Chicago.
A reassurance that England will
“surmount this present crisis” with
out “going totalitarian” was de
livered by the Lord Chancellor, Vis
count Jowitt, in the final address ol
the flve-day convention.
“If we fall, the bastion of civiliza
tion in Ehrope fails,” he said “We
shall not fail.”
Ltird Jowitt told the bar asso
ciation annual dinner last nigh
that a planned economy was th<
demand of the British people, bu
that it Involved no breakdown o:
cherished traditions of individua
rights and government under law
Election of three new member;
of the Association’s Board of Gov
ernors—Charles Ruzicks, Balti
more; Albert B. Houghton, Mil
waukee, and James G. Mothers
head, Scottsbluff, Nebr.—was par
of today’s assembly program.
Mr. Gregory, the first son of j
bar association president to attaii
the same honor, was nominatec
by the State bar delegates in Feb
ruary.
In the absence of other nomina
tion, as is usual, the election wa!
automatic. Mr. Gregory’s father wa!
the late Stephen S. Gregory, presi
dent in 1911-12 and the first editoi
In chief of the American Bar Asso
ciation Journal. The son, 61, wa!
president of the Illinois State Bai
Association in 1945-46 and of the
Chicago bar in 1939-40.
He succeeds Carl B. Rix of Mil
waukee.
A resolution putting the associa
tion’s weight behind the pending
legislation to bring military justice
up to civilian standards got quick
approval in yesterday’s late Assem
bly session. It would make the
judge advocate general, dispenser ol
Army justice, independent of the
Army's command.
The high justice of Ontario, J. C
McRuer, was elected by the Board
of Governors as an honorary mem
ber of the association and William
L. Ransom, New York, was awarded
the association’s gold medal.

not have made a worse mess of
our foreign policy than we did.”
Lest his remarks be construed as
an attempt to sabotage the present
efforts of President Truman and
Secretary of State Marshall in the
international field and the so-called
bi-partisan foreign policy of this
country, the Republican leader has
tened to say the keystone of Re
publican foreign policy “under a
Democratic President,” must be co
operation and that the foreign policy
of the United States “must not be
dealth with on a partisan political
basis.”
Mr. Taft charged the Roosevelt
Truman policy toward Russia had
been “too soft” and that this was
rectified—too late—only when Sena
tor Vandenberg was able to stiffen
the backbone of the Administration.
He attributed most of the trouble
we fare today in the field of foreign
affairs to this earlier “soft” policy
toward Russia.
Praise* Vandenberg’** Work.
The Ohio Senator again and
again, during his address, praised
the work of Senator Vandenberg
in the field of fc- ' n policy. He
insisted to this c * ident, prior
to delivery of hi:, h, that the
Republican foreign program which
he laid down does not conflict with
the ideas of Senator Vandenberg,
who has been the leader of Repub
lican thought in the Senate on
foreign relations.
He said there is no conflict be
tween himself and the Michigan
Senator and he does not believe
it is possible for any one to picture
a "Vandenberg-Taft split.” He had
not consulted Senator Vandenberg,
he conceded, on his whole address,
but he did talk with him regarding
the achievement of the recent Rio
conference, to which Senator Van
denberg was a delegate.
How Senator Tafts foreign rela
tions program will be received by
Gov. Dewey of New York, a leading
Hspnam. lur me rresiaenuai nomi
nation, or with former Gov. Stassen
of Minnesota, also a candidate for
the Presidency, is still to be de
veloped. Both have played their
parte in the development of the
present so-called bi-partisan foreign
policy of the United States.
Six-Point Program.
The Republican program of Sena
tor Taft contained six points, in
addition to his proposal to build the
whole policy around the United Na
tions.
1. Maintenance of peace so long as
conditions do not threaten the free
dom of the people of the United
States.
2. Opposition to communism as an
aggressive force.
3. Help to Germany to support it
ceif.
4. Making peace as rapdily as pos
sible with Japan, permitting Japan
to support itself “like any other
nation.’’
5. Giving economic assistance to
war-ravaged countries, but with
loans to specific countries for speci
fic purposes and the money to be
used only to pay for goods shipped
from the United States.
6. Maintaining a strong Army and
Navy, and retaining the atomic
bomb while the Russian attitude re
mains what it Is today.
Gives List of Mistakes.
Senator Taft listed a long series
of what he called mistakes made
by the Roosevelt-Truman Adminis
trations in the foreign field, be
ginning with the abandonment of
the principles of the Atlantic
Charter.
His most vigorous attack was upon
the Roosevelt attitude toward Soviet
Russia.
"We seemed to feel that we had
to beg Stalin to continue the battle
against Germany and accepted his
view of military strategy In the at

CLEVELAND, OHIO.—PAST PRESIDENTS ALL—Past national presidents are very much in evi
dence at the American Bar Association’s 70th annual meeting being held here this week. Left
to right: Robert E. Freer, commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission; Heber H. Rice, gen
eral counsel’s staff, General Accounting Office; Walter Armstrong, Memphis, Tenn.; Willis Smith,
Raleigh, N. C„ and Robert N. Anderson, special assistant to the Attorney General. Of the five
past presidents, Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Smith are past presidents of the American Bar Associa
tion and the others are past national presidents of the Federal Bar Association.

tack, wmcn gave nim the Balkans
| with Tito as the recognized leader
i in Yugoslavia,” Senator Taft as
serted. ^
"Later we seem to have insisted on
Russia entering the Japanese war,
j when the entrance proved to be
I un-necessary, and has resulted only
| in turning over Manchuria to Russia.
"President Roosevelt apparently
I felt that, if Mr. Stalin received
! military aid and kind treatment
from England and the United States,
| he would be transformed into an
; angel of light bringing freedom to
the world.”
Senator Taft charged that the
j "basic New Deal philosophy"!
| prompted the attitude of the Gov
ernment at Teheran, Yalta and
; Potsdam.
Says Congress Co-operated.
Senator Taft said the "Repub
jlican Congress has done its best to
I co-operate with the President.” In
| too many instances, he said, the
Republicans were not taken into
the confidence of the administra
tion, as for example, in the matter
of the Greek loan and the Mar
shall plan.
The administration, he contended,
has failed as dismally with its eco-!
: nomic policies abroad.
"As I see it,” he said, "the ad
j ministration was dominated by the
Mr. Fixit’ philosophy of the New
! Deal.”
The only bright spots, Senator
Taft declared, are Gen. MacArthur's
conduct of the occupation of Japan,
j the establishment of the United
j Nations and the recent agreement
■ signed at Rio.
Stassen Calls Picketing
Of Taft'Un-American'
MITCHELL, S. Dak., Sept. 26 UP).
—Harold E. Stassen called the
picketing of meetings addressed by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
“un-American” and asked that Pres
ident Truman repudiate interference
of that kind by labor.
Addressing an audience at the
Mitchell Corn Palace yesterday, the
aspirant for the 1948 Republican
presidential _ nomination declared:
“Senator Taft and every national
leader is entitled to free speech
”.’ithout un-American action of that
kind. I call upon the President to
repudiate such interference and the
labor leaders sponsornig it.”
The former Minnesota Governor
called the Taft-Hartley Act a good
law.

j In detail, the regulations provide:
1. The alien will be admitted to
the United Nations site area only
for a specific period, as for a session
of the Assembly.
2. He must enter or leave via an
Atlantic port.
3. He cannot leave the United
Nations site area which includes
New York City.
4. The visitor must engage in no!
subversive or propaganda activities
or agitate against the United States.
5. Consul issuing such a limited
visa must be satisfied the applicant

U. N. delegates, their families and
aides, enjoy diplomatic immunity
and are not under these restric
tions.
It was learned today that the
Justice Department last month
blocked visas for three Canadian
Communists who applied for ad
mission to this country to attend
a convention.
Officials said the visa-rejection
was based on grounds that they be
longed to an organiatiozn which had
distributed literature advocating the
violent overthrow of the United
States Government.

the river bank near Mount Victoria.
"We stood there for some time,”
he related, “and watched four boats.
They were dredging. One of our
force telephoned to Pocomoke and
asked Comdr. Cullison to block the
St. Marys County side of the river
at St. Catherines Island.”
“A few minutes later, we drove
to Cobb Island and went aboard
two pleasure boats, one mine, and
the other the property of Sheriff
Elmer M. Quade. Also aboard our
boat were my brothers, Thomas
and Joseph.”
“After a fast run we trapped two
boats between our craft and Po
comoke. Two boats got away.”
"Before we overhauled them.” j
he continued, “crews of both boats
threw their dredges overboard. One
was thrown into deep water and
could not be located. The other,
a 13-tooth dredge about 30 inches
wide, was dropped in shallow w'ater
and was recovered.”
Senator Monroe, who earlier had
written Gov, Lane requesting that:
“stern measures” be taken against
dredgers, added that “it may be a;
good time to investigate watermen’s'
repeated charges that packers, not
Govrtnment' Officials, are running
bur conservation department.”
The Senator was referring to
statements made by Rock Point
oystermen that packers have
financed dredge boat operators.
The Rock Point rivermen have
demanded that the Charles County
commissioner* make sufficient funds
available to employ one or more
patrolmen for the Wicomico River.
They have asked also that these
men have no connection with the
Tidewater Fisheries Commission. !
While the spotlight played on the
Wicomico, dredgers circled Maryland
on the Potomac River. Dredging
began on that river one day before
the season opened September 15.!
and has continued every night and
mast days since that time.
Emmett Skinner, veteran river
man, who lives at Morgantown, on
the Maryland side, said from six to'
20 boats have been dredging nightly;
with little or no interference from
patrol boats. Few, he said, appear
during daylight.
OPA

terior Department, which awarded
121 salary increases.
These salary raises ranged from
as low as $25 a year to the $300
maximum, depending on the grades
of the position. OPA led all other
agencies and departments in the
amount of high-bracket raises given.
It gave 83 employes raises from
$240 to $300 a year, compared to
70 War Department workers who
were given $240 to $300 wage boosts.
On the other hand, some of the
Government’s largest bureaus ap
parently didn’t see fit to reward
more than a handful of employes.
The Post Office Department, which
employes about 475,000 persons, gave
only nine pay raise awards for
superior achievement. The Veter
ans' Administration, which has 210,
000 workers, gave 17 pay boosts.
Commission Rewards One.
The Civil Service Commission,
which supervises the entire program,
rewarded only one of its employes
during the year.
The agencies had the authority
to make the salary awards without
the commission's approval, but the
commission checked each case to1
see if the award was justified. The
commission said that, in the future,
it will withdraw authority to grant
raises to those agencies which make
unjustified awards.
In the case of the War Depart
ment, 84 of its 540 wage increases
were found to be unjustified. In
the OPA, the commission said that
29 of the 178 salary boosts were
unjustified.
Besides the War Department,
OPA and Interior, here is a list of
the various departments and agen-;
cies and the salary increases for
‘‘superior" work granted in each:
Agriculture, 48; Civil Aeronautics
Board, 1; Commerce Department,

Commenting on the figures, com

did not make enough. They said,
however, many of the bureaus hit
