Reserve*. your dollar buys more at the acme Coast Network Bars Truman Free Time for Political Speeches By th« Associated Press A West Coast network of 40-odd radio stations has decided not to broadcast free-of-charge speeches by President Truman which it con siders political. It said other presidential candi dates will receive, the same treat ment. The Don Lee network announced! its policy after Kenneth D. Fry, j radio director of the Democratic National Committee, disclosed that Mr. Truman's speech to Young Democrats Friday night was not broadcast on the West Coast. ^ Outlet for MBS. The Don Lee network is the West Coast outlet of the Mutual Broad casting System, which carried Mr. Truman’s speech. It has stationsj in California, Oregon and Wash-; ington. Mr. Fry said he didn’t know thej speech wasn’t being broadcast onj the coast until telegrams and phone calls began coming in Saturday morning asking why. Lewis Allen Weiss, general man-, ager of the Don Lee network, pro-1 vided the answer. j "We consider it a political speech,”! Mr. Weiss said. He added that the, network will carry Mr. Truman’s j speeches whenever they are in the national interest, whenever he ad dresses Congress or whenever he speaks in a national emergency. The Don Lee chain, Mr. Weiss said, does not propose to donate’ j time to Mr. Truman or any other presidential candidate for political! speeches. Fry sees FroDieui. Mr Fry said he had had no con- j (tact with the Don Lee chain and ! did not expect to have any "unless ; there are further developments.’’ He did not specify what sort of developments he meant. It might be quite a little situa tion in a political year," Mr. Fry commented. “We can’t buy radio time until after the convention, you know, by our own rules and the network rules." Mr. Truman is planning a pre convention trip to the West Coast. Several speeches are scheduled there. Elsewhere on the political scene over the week end: Senator Johnston, Democrat, of South Carolina said that if he gets the chance he will nominate Gen. j Eisenhower at the Democratic Par ty’s national convention. "But I doubt that I will have that privilege," he added in an interview over station WINX. Some body from a State higher up on the alohabet than South Carolina probably will beat him to it. Sena tor Johnston said. Critic of Truman. Senator Johnston has been one of the South’s most outspoken ; critics of Mr. Truman's “civil rights" program. i Iowa’s Democrats indorsed Presi dent Truman at their State conven tion in which they selected 32 dele gates with 20 votes for the national convention. The delegates were not specifically instructed to vote for j the President. I Utah’s Democrats indorsed the i administration’s foreign policy. They did not raise the question of in structing delegates to the national convention. Twenty delegates with 12 votes were chosen. Supporters of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey claimed 16 or 17 of the 1# delegates named to the GOP Na tional Convention by the party’s Washington State convention. Back ers of Harold E. Stassen and Sena tor Taft disputed this. Mr. Stassen and Senator Taft men each claimed four delegates for their candidates.

Christians Pray for Success of Amsterdam Session The first assembly of the World Council of Churches, scheduled for next August in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, today has the indorse ment of more than 1,200 Washing ton Christians in its aim to "re capture the spirit of world peace." At services at the Washington Cathedral yesterday Washington Christians of various denominations gathered to offer prayers of “praise snd intercession” in preparation for the meeting of the council, which will be composed of members of 135 denominations in every country of the world. Thirty-five ministers took part in the processional and rites which followed the service. Dr. Stockman States Purpose. The gathering heard a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, radio preacher and minister of Christ Methodist Church in New York, in which he described the purpose of the August assembly as threefold: To recover God's design for His church; to recover witnesses for the church, and to plan for a rebirth of the power of true faith, which ani mated members of the church on the first Whitsunday in Jerusalem. Dr. Sockman declared that al though Palestine today is regarded as the posible source of another world war, Christians are looking to ward it in the hope of a rebirth of peace. Bishops Participate. The New York minister, who flew here for the service, is president of the Church Peace Union and is a leading exponent of world peace through interfaith co-operation. Others participating in yester day’s services were the Right Rev. Angus Dun, Episcopal Bishop of Washington and recently elected president of the Washington Fed eration of Churches; the Rev. Dr. Charles Wesley Flint, Methodist Bishop of the Washington area; the Rev. Dr. J. Hillman Hollister, pas tor of the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Dr. Edward Hughes Pruden, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Washington and chairman of the church federation’s committee for the world council.
