U.S. May 'in Military
Alliance Against Reds,
Vandenberg Warns
•y tfi* Associated Press
Senator Vandenberg, Repub
lican, of Michigan tossed out a
fresh hint to Russia today that
the United States may join West
ern Europe in a military alliance
against Communist aggression.
The chief Republican exponent of
this country’s bipartisan foreign
policy at the same time served this
warnmg on Americans:
"We are suicidal fools if we do
not root out and destroy any trea
son at home which may dream of
bringing world revolution to the
United States."
Above all, Senator Vanderberg
said, Prime Minister Stalin should
understand that “we shall not sur
render to Communist conspiracies
in the United States."
Speaks at Dinner.
Senator Vandenberg, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, made his pronouncements
in a surprise speech last night at
a dinner given by Michigan cham
bers of commerce and trade asso
ciations for the State's congres
sional delegation.
He refused afterward to expand
on his remarks. But Senator Van
denberg appeared to be adding his
own support to mounting indica
tions that America will throw its
military as well as its economic
weight against Communist expan
sion in Europe.
Rapping what he called Russia’s
uncompromising refusal to let the
United Nations perfect its own
peace machinery, the Senator de
clared:
“We have not yet even scratched
the surface of the possibilities of its
(the U. N.’s) regional arrangements,
as exemplified in the Rio treaty.
There can be vital progress in this
procedure—and I venture to predict
there will."
fact Binds Hemisphere Nations.
The Rio treaty drafted last fall
provides that all other Western
Hemisphere nations will come to
the military aid of any one of them
attacked by a country outside this
hemisphere. Senator Vandenberg
helped write the treaty and led
the fight for its ratification by
the Senate.
There has been speculation that!
an American military alliance with
the Western European union now
being organized might take the form
of a regional defense system under
the U. N. The union is being cre-i
ated as an adjunct of the multi-1
billion dollar recovery program |
which Senator Vandenberg helped1
steer through Congress this spring.!
While voicing hope that peace!
can be attained, the Senator as-1
serted:
"Meanwhile, ive are realists. Wej
do not propose to be isolated in aj
world that has been communized by
conquest. We do not shut our eyes
to the cold, hard fact that there
are those in the world who respect
nothing else but force.
“We shall adequately prepare our
selves fbr any such argument if
there still be those who mistakenly
think of us as paciflcists-at-any
price.”
As has President Truman, Sen
ator Vandenberg said peace must
Include both justice and honor.
“It must be peace which stabilizes j
human rights and fundamental |
freedoms or we have lost every ob- I
jectlve for which we fought two
world wars, and for which—though
God forbid!—we could be forced to
face a third, though never, never,
through our voluntary choice,” he
declared.
Senator Vandenberg, who has
been mentioned as a possible com
promise candidate for the GOP
presidential nomination, said peace
must not take the form of Munich
appeasement, Yalta compromise or
a Henry A. Wallace peace.
"It cannot be a Wallace peace,”
, the Senator insisted, "because com
munistic fraternity sooner or later
produces but one kind of unity—
the kind that Jonah enjoyed when
he was swallowed by the whale.”
Summing up, Senator Vandenberg
said that if he were talking with
Stalin he would tell him:
"We cannot be driven, coerced or
pressured into positions which we
decline voluntarily to assume: that
we will not bargain in human
rights and fundamental liberties
anywhere on earth; and underlying
everything, that we shall not sur
render to Communist conspiracies
in the United States.'.’
Ferguson Suggests Test Case.
Senator Vandenberg spoke after
Senator Ferguson, Republican, of
Michigan had suggested that a test
case be brought against the Com
munist Party in this country to
determine its legality. A victory
for the Government, Senator Fer- ■
guson said, would "destroy many
of the Communist-front organiza- j
tions which plague us."
On the assumption that the Com-1
nnmists are working for the violent i
overthrow of the Government, Sen
ator Ferguson said it appears that a
1940 law prohibits communism in
America.
The 1940J Federal law he cited
makes It unlawful for any one know
ingly to advocate or abet the forcible
overthrow of the Government or to
be a member of or help to organize
any group which does.

Nervous Lana Turner Marries
Topping According to Script
Happy and smiling, Lana Turner and her new husband,
Henry J. (Bob) Topping, are shown after their wedding yester
day. The limousine was plastered with “Just Married” signs.
_ —AP Wirephoto.
By tht Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD. April 27.—Well, it
was quite a production. Lana
Turner, the bride, was radiant, but
nervous. Her white orchid corsage
trembled. She went upstairs and
lay down to rest for a half hour
after the ceremony.
She spoke her responses in the
marriage ceremony Just above a
whipser. Miss Turner, 27, was far
less poised than in the 11 times she
has been married in well-rehearsed
movie scenes.
Her dark-haired millionaire bride
groom, Henry J. (Bob) Topping, 34,
heir to a tinplate fortune, said his
vows with calm assurance.
Dr. Stewart P. MacLennan, re
tired Presbyterian minister, told
them solemnly in the ceremony:
“Henry and Lana, let us believe that
in the province of God you have at
last found each other.” He adjured
them to "plan together, plav to
gether. and—most important of all—
pray together."
Like a well-prepared movie script,
the marriage of the movie Cin
derella girl and the millionaire had
everything:
The bride wore a sheer champagne
lace gown over a champagne satin
slip that did full justice to her cele
brated figure. Her blue eyes sparkled,
her cheeks were a tanned pink. The
ceremonial room was fragrant and
aglow with green fern and white
blossoms—arranged by a studio prop
man in co-operation with florists.
She was married in the Bel-Air
home of William R. (Billy) Wilker
son, movie trade-paper publisher,
who discovered her for movies 11
years ago when she was sipping a
milk shake. He served as best man.
Miss Turner's 5-year-old daughter,
Cherly Christine, was flower girl.
She is the daughter of Miss Turner
by a previous marriage to Stephen
Crane.
The newly married couple said
they would remain here overnight,
go to Palm Springs for a few days,
then fly to New York City* They
sail May 5 on the Mauretania for
London.

Defense Chiefs Silent
On RefusaT of Negroes
To Advise on Policy
Defense chiefs had no comment
today on the refusal of a score of
prominent Negro leaders to advise
them on how to utilize youths of
their race in the arme'd services so
long as segregation in the ranks is
continued.
The group, which had been called
into a closed conference by Secretary
of Defense Forrestal, did promise a
written report, however. They met
yesterday with Mr. Forrestal and
Army, Navy and Air Force repre
sentatives.
Afterward, Lester B. Granger of
New York, executive secretary of the
National Urban League, issued this
statement:
“The group agreed that no one
wanted to continue in an advisory
capacity on the basis of continued
segregation in the armed services.
Our group is concerned with the
elimination of segregation, not with
its perpetuation. We are convinced
that segregation is a form of dis
crimination.”
Challenge Army Position.
The Negro leaders, including sev
eral attorneys, college presidents
and heads of Negro advancement
organizations, also denounced what
they called the “brick wall" policy
of Secretary of the Army Royall on
the subject of segregation in the
armed forces.
Mr. Granger in his statement
issued at a news conference said:
“The group challenges the Army’s
present interpretation of the much
quoted Gillem Board report. We
believe that under the Gillem re
port it is possible to eliminate seg
regation completely.”
Told They Would Lose Out.
Under this report, which was made
by Lt. Gen. A. C. Gillem and a board
of three others, it was held that the
best utilization of Negro manpower
in the postwar Army was to have
units staffed and maned by Negroes,
but to do away with complete divi
sions of them.
An Army spokesman explained
that facts show about 7 per cent of
whites constitute class A material
from which officers are drawn, while
less than 1 per cent of Negroes are
of this caliber. Consequently, Ne
groes competing with whites for non
commissioned and officer’s posts
would lost out.
Cox Says PAC Backs
Communist Followers
By the Associated Press
Representative Cox, Democrat, of,

mittee is trying to persuade Ameri

j the Communist Party line.”
Mr. Cox said the director of the
organization, Jack Kroll of Cincin
nati, is an alien.
The CIO-PAC, he said, has been
“planting its agents” in Georgia pre
paratory to “an aggressive cam
