International Control
01 Middle East Oil
Urged by Wallace
By th» Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, May 17.—Henry
Wallace carries his campaign for
the presidency into Northern Cali
fornia today after calling for inter
national control of Middle East oil.
The third party nominee launched
his Western campaign with a major
address last night in which he told
about 30.000 jammed into Gilmore
Stadium in Hollywood:
“The first major task of the!
United Nations is to provide for
immediate international control of
Middle East oil.”
The former vice president said
United States recognition of the new
state of Israel “must be followed by
an ultimatum to the Arab feudal
lords—who are truly puppets of
Anglo-American oil—an ultimatum
to lay down their arms.”
Called Porblem of Oil
Mr. Wallace said the heart of the
Middle East problem “is still the
problem of oil” and “it cannot be
settled by armed might or power
politics which ignore this funda
mental economic fact.”
"The American people must take
foreign policy out of the hands of
the trusts,” he declared.
Mr. Wallace appeared tired in
delivering his speech which culmi
nated two days of touring and
speaking in the Los Angeles area be
fore Negro, Mexican-American, la
Dor, youth and film groups.
Two hours of speech-making and
fund-raising preceded his Gilmore*
Stadium address and hundreds de-*
parted before it was over. The ap
plause was light in comparison to
the tumultuous reception Mr. Wal
lace received in the same stadium a
year ago. Campaign managers an- i
nounced that more than $100,000
was received.
At Oakland Tonight
Mr. Wallace is scheduled to speak
at Oakland tonight and San Fran
cisco tomorrow, doubling back to
San Diego Wednesday.
Hollywood celebrities dotted the
huge Gilmore turnout and among
those contributing $1,000 each to,
the Wallace campaign fund were
Charles Chaplin, . Director Lewis
Milestone and writers Vera Caspary,
Hubert Rosson and Donald Ogden
Stewart.
Reporters found themselves un-;
welcome at a private banquet for
Mr. Wallace In Hollywood Saturday
night. -v
About 450 diners, paying $10 a
plate and contributing about $29,000
to the Wallace campaign fund, heard
him give an ofl-the-record speech1
at a hotel.
But reporters who tried to gain
admittance were barred. When
asked why, C. B. Baldwin, campaign
manager, was quoted as saying:
"That’s our business.”

ALL THROUGH YOUR NOME ALL SUMMER
PATENT PENDING
WHAT IS IT ? Awn-O-Vent consists of a largo
motor-driven exhaust fan, which is set in a handsome
enameled metal awning with glass side panels to let in
fight. A unit installed in ONE window is all that is necessary
to cool an entire home of average sixe.
EASY INSTALLATION a.,ov„,
can be put up at any window about as easily as an ordinary
awning. To operate, just plug in the electrical cord, and
you're set for a cool, refreshing summer.
ECONOMICAL OPERATION
The original cost of Awn-O-Vent is comparatively low, and
yet it is built to last a lifetime. Operation cost is less than
4 cents a day. about the same as a light bulb. Motor can
be set at LOW for night duty, at HIGH for hot days.
SAFE & OUT OF THE WAY
Because it is entirely outside your window, Awn-O-Vent does
not interfere with curtains or shades, and is out of the reach
of children. The fan is doubly protected by • mesh guard.
