New York G.O. P.AcIs To Punish Delegate Who Opposed Dewey By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 1.—A political apanking is threatened for Peter Wynne—the Bronx politician who bolted New York State’s pro-Dewey delegation and voted for Senator Taft at the Republican convention. The defection of Delegate Wynne left New York Republicans smart ing the two times the delegation cast 96 votes for Gov. Dewey and one for Senator Taft. First step in the punishment plans was formation of the Thomas E. Dewey Republican Club in oppo sition to Mr. Wynne, 73-year-old veteran leader of the 3d Assembly District. Along with this move yesterday, petitions were circulated for the nomination of William J. Waterman for Congress in the 23d Congres sional district. Mr. Wynne, the candidate two years ago, has been reported con sidering making the race again this year. Both maneuvers were preparatory to an attempt to displace Mr. Wynne as district leader. Solon Kane, campaign manager for Mr. Waterman, said the rival club has the backing of the Bronx County Republican organization. Mr. Wynne refused to comment last night on the opposition or on 1 the possibility of his running for Congress. Brown Lists Three Reasons For Senator Taft's Defeat Representative Brown, Republi can, of Ohio, Senator Taft's cam paign manager, said yesterday the Ohio Senator failed to win the Re publican presidential nomination Chiefly because of three factors: 1. The effects of public opinion polls whcih showed Senator Taft behind Gov. Dewey and other can- i riidates and “propaganda" that Sen ator Taft would be a poor vote getter and hard to elect. 2. The Dewey bandwagon psy chology created by the announce-1 ment of Senator Martin's with-, drawsl as Pennsylvania's favorite son candidate coupled with the swing of a large number of the Pennsyl vania delegates to Gov. Dewey. 3. Inability to line up those op posed to Gov. Dewey in favor of one candidate. Mr. Brown told a reporter that press of duties in Congress prevented Senator Taft and himself from spending as much time as they would have liked to in pre-convention organizing. j He credited Gov. Dewey with hav ing a smooth-working organization with no such handicap. Dewey (Continued From First Page.i ! participation in the world organiza tion above partisanship and it has so continued.” The candidate explained he did not list the Marshall Plan among the "other fields of foreign affairs” in which there has been no consul tation because, ‘‘as enacted into law it expressed largely the views of Re publican leaders, including the pat tern I proposed in what I believed was the first speech charting details of the aid to Europe program.” Gov. Dewey is expected to make “the winning of the peace” the fore most issue of the presidential elec tion campaign. He has said time and again that President Truman’s administration has "bungled” the job of translating into lasting peace the Allied victory in World War II. Mr. Dulles rode to Albany with Gov. Dewey late yesterday from the Governor's farm in Pawling and heard him address 4,000 "welcome back” rooters at the Capitol steps. Mr. Dulles counseled with the Gov ernor last night at the Executive Mansion. In his rhomecoming'' speech, Gov. Dewey said: "All over the world people are looking to the United States in a prayerful hope that we will lead this great Nation into paths which will build a firm and a lasting peace in the world. "All over the world people who: have never seen an American, peo-' pie who have no idea what our country is really like, have an al-1 most mystic faith that we with our immense power * * * will be so wise and so strong that we' can somehow prevent future wars.” vtasnington Cleaning I'leogea. Gov. Dewey voiced hope "that we: ran again bring to our Government' and through it to all of our people a restoration of faith in the funda mental liberty and the means by] which we became great—a funda mental respect and love and affec- ] tion for the dignity of the in-1 dividual—a good faith that free men can make achievements, can build, can create as men in no other society have been able to do and men in dictatorship never can do."j If elected, the Governor said, he will “clean, up ’ the national Gov ernment in Washington. The New’ York capitol for 20 years w’as "in the hands of Gover nors of one party,” Gov. Dewey said, "and now I am in the position of endeavoring to break 16 years of timilar uninterrupted rule in the national Government.” He added that "the problems of getting that house cleaned up are almost the same down there that they were here when I came here— only now I have the benefit of the experience of cleaning up after them here in Albany, and I think it will be easier in Washington.” Legislation i Continued Prom First Page.' when the security of the Nation may be adversely affected.” Protests Straus, Boke Ouster. i Approving the Interior Depart ment appropriation bill, he protested ADVERTISEMENT. _ Rinse Hair Off Legs In 5 Minutes . . . without rubbing or risk of bristly razor-stubblol Amazing improvement — is the new Neet with lanolin.

Truman Blast at Housina Bill Follmcing is the text of Presi dent Truman's statement at tacking Congress on the housing issue: I have today signed S. 2790, “to amend the Servicemen’s Readjust ment Act of 1944, as amended, and for other purposes.” For reasons which are quite un derstandable, the Republican lead ers in the House of Representatives insisted upon calling this measure a “housing'’ bill. But as a housing bill, it is, as the vice chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Housing truthfully said, "prac tically nothing at all.” In this case, as in many others, the Eightieth Congress has failed miserably to meet the urgent need of the people of the United States. I consider it to be the duty of the President to inform the people as to the actual fact on these vital issues. That is why I have issued, and shall continue to issue, statements commenting on legislation passed by the Congress. This so-called “housing” bill is a hasty patchwork. It was passed by the Congress in the final hours of the session, after the Republican leadership refused to permit the House Representatives to vote upon the Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill. This bill bears no resemblance to the comprehensive housing pro gram included in the Taft-Ellender Wagner bill. Fails on Slum Clearance. It fails to provide for farm hous ing or slum clearance. It fails to provide for housing re search, for financial assistance to large-scale home construction, or for encouraging large-scale produc tion of prefabricated housing. It fails completely to aid in meet ing our greatest housing need—low cost rental housing. It makes no pro vision for publicly assisted low-rent housing—or, in fact, for any rental housing. Contrasted with the Taft-Ellen der-Wagner bill, this measure was properly labeled in the Congress as the "teeny-weeny” housing bill. This bill does two things. First, it increases the funds available for the Government purchase of home mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration and re stores the authority to purchase mortgages guaranteed under the GI Act, which the Congress allowed to lapse in 1947. This is the so-called “secondary mortgage market,” which is designed to encourage the supply of private credit to home buyers. Seriously Defective on Mortgages. Second, the bill purports to lib eralize the Government’s authority to insure mortgages for veterans' housing co-operatives. But even in these respects the bill is seriously defective. With respect to the secondary mortgage market the bill repeals the present authority of the Gov ernment to purchase FHA-insured mortgages on rental properties. Thus, it actually eliminates an ex isting aid to urgently needed rental housing. With respect to veterans’ housing co-operatives the bill is practically worthless. It purports to aid veterans’ co operatives by authorizing the Fed eral Housing Administration to in sure 95 per cent loans to veterans' housing co-operatives. But it does not change the appli cable cost limitation of $1,350 per room, established in 1938. Since builders are now having difficulty in most areas in constructing rental housing at $1,800 per room, a $1,350 cost limitation nullifies, as a practi cal matter, the legal authority given by this bill to insure loans to vet erans’ housing co-operatives. No Excuse for Such Action. There can be no excuse for such slipshod legislation, thrown together onlv a few hours before adjourn ment. The Eightieth Congress had ample time to enact the housing legislation the country needs. The Taft-Ellender-Wagner bill was pending during the full term of both sessions. Exhaustive headings were held time and time again. But the Republican leadership would not even give the House of Representa tives a chance to vote on it. The failure to pass decent housing legislation is a sad disappointment to the millions of our people who are so desperately in need of homes, and to the many members of Con gress who tried so hard to break the stranglehold of the little group of men who blocked a decent housing bill. We cannot accept as final a deci sion reached by such undemocratic methods. This is one of the many jobs left unfinished by the Eightieth Con gress. a provision which would bring about removal of Michael Straus, reclama tion commissioner, and Richard Boke. regional director of the Central Valley in California, “who have sup ported the public power policy of the Government.” The President also accused Con gress once more of delaying impor tant reclamation work in the West by cutting down on requested appro priations. tmd said the only reason he did not veto the bill was because it would halt the Interior Depart ment's work. The third measure signed and as sailed extended the life of the Virgin Islands Co., a year. The agency di rects the economy of the islands, and the President said the bill was only a "stop-gap measure,” and that Congress should have developed a "long-range” program for the islands as he has urged. Argentine Admiral Makes Bid for Surplus U. S. Ships By the Associated Press The Argentine Navy needs ‘‘all kinds of ships.” including carriers, Vice Admiral Juan M. Carranza said yesterday. Admiral Carranza, the first chief of naval operations from Argentina to visit the United States, told a news conference that although his country has not asked for any sur plus American warships, he hopes "if such allocations are made * * * Argentina will be considered.” The purpose of his three-week tour of naval installations is purely I social, he declared. He arrived in Washington yesterday afternoon, i Special legislation would be neces sary before American warships could be turned over to foreign nat‘,'~\ A bili to allow such transfers as a measure for the defense of the Western Hemisphere failed to pass either house last session.

Mrs. Luce to Quit Politics, Plans to Resume Writing By the Associated Press RIDGEFIELD, Conn., July 1.— Clare Booth Luce said today that she was through with politics, both as a possible officeholder and cam paigner. The former Connecticut member of Congress and w'riter gave two reasons for her decision. She told the Bridgeport Post in an interview that: First, she feels that the Dewey Warren Republican ticket is "as good as elected," and does not need her help. Second, she wants to return to her first love—writing. Mrs. Luce plans to attend the Democratic National Convention as a newspaper writer. That, she said, will be her last personal contact with politics. Grain-Saving Program Of Brewers Suspended By the Associated Press Secretary of Agriculture Brannan yesterday told brewers they can end a voluntary grain-saving program put in during the critical shortage iast October. Mr. Brannan said there still is need for food and feed grain sav ing. But he said he is suspending the brewers’ program because no other grain-using industry is taking part in such a plan. The Secretary said it has been impossible to get other industries to go along. He said this is because "Congress did not adopt the recom mendations of the President and of this department to enact legislation to compel grain conservation prac tices by industries which are un willing to accept voluntary meas ures.” Portugal exported three tons of jewelrv, worth $377,080, in the first half of 1947. 6 TO It MONTHS PAYMENT PLAN TRADE-INS ACCEPTEDl ONE-YEAR l GUARANTEE [24-HR.

Court Writing Verdict on Krupps By th* Associated Press NUERNBERG, Germany, July 1. —An American war crimes court went into seclusion today to write a verdict in'the case of the gun makers of the House of Krupp. The ruling is expected in about four weeks. Twelve major officials of the great munitions combine, Germany's top gunmakers for 150 years, have been on trial since last December 8. H. C. Anderson of Jackson. Tenn., heads the court which tried them. Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, titular head of the sprawl ing weapons empire, made a final appeal to the court yesterday. Speaking for himself and the 11 other defendants, he said the House of Krupp only "did its duty in the war, and we are conscious of no violations of the laws of humanity.” The court last April acquitted the 12 defendants on two counts in the indictment against them—one charging them with crirties against the peace, the other accusing them of participating in a conspiracy against peace. Two counts remain. One charges them with plunder and spoilation of conquered nations. The other accuses them of deporting, exploit ing and abusing slave labor. In Baden Baden yesterday a French - dominated international court convicted Hermann Roechling. 75, a German steel magnate, of waging aggressive war. The first industrialist to be found guilty of such a charge, he was sentenced to' seven years' imprisonment.

Robertson Defeat Seen In North Dakota Race By th« Associated Press FARGO, N. Dak., July 1.— Charles R. Robertson, one of North Dakota’s two Republican Repre sentatives in Congress, apparently failed in his bid for renomination to a fourth term, returns from the primary election indicated early to day. With votes counted from 1,931 of 2,267 precincts, Representative Lemke led with 81,313. Usher L. Burdick, former member of Con gress, seeking a comeback, polled 79,042 votes, and Mr. Robertson had 69.404. Mrs. Agnes Geelan, with 50,748, conceded defeat last night. Mr. Robertson was not available for comment. Gov. Fred G. Aandahl, counting 83,239 ballots from 1,872 precincts, received congratulations from his opponent, Ervin Schumacher, Dray ton farmer, who conceded defeat, with 69,660 total. The initiated measure which would bar public school teachers from wearing religious apparel had a favorable vote of 88,125, with 84, 331 opposed, in 1,857 election dis tricts. It was submitted to the electorate after nuns had been em ploye^ in several Catholic communi ties and Protestant ministers ob jected. Democrats (Continued From First Page.) rruman "talked about every phase ol the Democratic situation currently being talked about in the news papers.” This presumably brought up the “draft Eisenhower" move which dis gruntled Democrats are promoting once more. In this same connection Senator Johnson of South Carolina came back from a 45-minute talk with Gen. Eisenhower in New York earlier this week to report that he is “more convinced than ever” that the Columbia University President] is the Democrats’ “man of the hour." Another Southern Democrat, Lt. Gov. Handy Ellis of Alabama—who will head his State's delegation to the Philadelphia convention—said at Mobile earlier in the day he would be "tickled to death” to propose the former Allied commander at the start of the nominating roll call. But he added that he will yield to Texas--the general's native State— or to Kansas—his official residence. Absolute Refusal Necessary. Mr. Ellis insisted that only an absolute refusal from Gen. Eisen hower ■will prevent his name from going before the convention ahead of any one else. One high party official here said that is exactly what most party big wigs expect—a flat statement from the general that he could not be drafted. This official, who refused to be quoted by name, said all the plan ning is being made on the assump tion that Geri. Eisenhower will not be a serious contender for the presidential nomination. At Columbia University in New York, a source close to Gen. Eisen- j hower said his position against seek ing public office was unchanged, and “applies to both parties.” Gen. Eisenhower himself was absent from his office, but his spokesman rep resented his position now' as being the same it was on January 23, when he disclaimed any political ambi tions or intentions in a -letter to a publisher at Manchester, N. H. But at Meriden, N. H., Harry Carlson wrote letters to his fellow Cedar Lining j (Near Ker Bridge).

State Democratic Chairman James Roosevelt didn't mention either name. But he did tell reporters that the wait-and-see attitude adopted by California’s 54-vote delegation is stirring wide spread interest. “My phone has been ringing all day with calls from all over the country—Michigan, Minnesota, Wis-> consin, Illinois and several Southern States,’’ the late President’s son said. “Indications are that they’re not unfavorable to California’s viewpoint.” But some of the delegates are holding out for Mr. Truman. Attor ney Henry I. Dockweiler insisted that the delegation's nominal pledge is binding “until the chief releases us” and added: “It would not bene fit the party to nominate any one else.
