States' Rights Rally
August 11 to Open
National Campaign
By the Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S. C„ July 29.—
States' Rights Democrats will open
an intensive national campaign
August 11 which they hope will es
tablish them as one of the nation’s
strongest political groups.
Campaign details were announced
here yesterday in a joint statement
by Govs. J. Strom Thurmond of
North Carolina and Fielding L.
Wright of Mississippi, candidates
for president and 'dee president.
Gov Ben Laney of Arkansas will
be chairman of a seven-man steer
ing committee, and the national
campaign director will be Judge
Merrit Gibson of Longview, Texas.
George C. Wallace of Jackson, Miss.,
was named national treasurer.
Campaign headquarters will be
opened August 9 in' Jackson, with
liaison offices here and in Wash
ington, the announcement said.
The candidates are arranging a
speaking schedule to start early
next month and to include appear
ances in “many States."
Gov. Thurmond predicted that
the States’ Rights Democrats could
become the minority party in the
81st Congress.
“If the Republicans should run
away with the election outside of
the South,” Gov. Thurmond said
he thought he and Gov. Wright
would get more electoral votes than
President Truman.
He expressed confidence that “the
States’Rights electoral vote strength
will force this year’s presidential
election into the national House of
Representatives and Senate.”

’ here. His tall, spare figure was a
familiar sight around the Capitol
where he listened to debates, chat
ted with old friends and sat in on
the Senate sessions.
Those trips became more frequent
after the Republicans returned a
majority in Congress last year. His
good humor and stock of jokes and
anecdotes were as well known to
|the Democrats as the Republicans.
He was known as "Jim” and his
sunny disposition and genius for
making friends endeared him to his
colleagues, Democratic and Repub
lican alike.
Praised by Jenner.
Senator Jenner, Republican, of
Indiana, paid tribute to him today
as a leader who had been out
standing for a half-century in the
field of Government and politics. j
“From humble birth, he rose to j
a position of influence in the af-i
fairs not only of his home state of I
Indiana and his Nation but of the j
world,” Senator Jenner said. "Forj
more than 40 years he was a power
in the national House of Repre
sentatives and in the United States
Senate.
"Possessed of a winning person
ality, a wealth of humor and a keen
mind, he used these talents to the
advantage of his own political party
and in the interests of his country.
His death leaves a void which will
be hard to fill.”
Funeral arrangements have been
set tentatively for Saturday. The
details will be announced later.
Brough up in the turbulent poli
tics of Indiana, the former Senator
fitted into the picture when the Re
publican party was dominated by
such figures as Matt Quay and Boise
Penrose of Pennsylvania, "Tom”
Platt of New York and Murray
Crane of Massachusetts.
Elected to House in 1895.
He first served in the House from
1895 to 1897. Defeated for re-elec
tion, he was returned to the House
in 1899 and served there until 1909.
In 1908 he ran for Governor of In
diana but W'as defeated by the late
Thomas R. Marshall who later be
came Vice President.
In 1928 he sought the Republican
presidential nomination, but lost to
Herbert Hoover.
The Senator said he felt he "de
served the nominaiton” but never
theless promised—and gave—his
support to the nominee.
When Mr. Hoover was elected,
Senator Watson was made Repub
lican leader of the Senate. Carry
ing out his pledge of support, he
wore down his strength to the point
of exhaustion in the long, extra
session fight of 1930 over the tariff
bill. His friends said it took him
many months to recover his usual
vigor.
Was Strict Party Man.
He was often assailed by his oppo
nents as a stand-patter. But in his
memoirs published in 1936 be de
scribed himself as a "progressive
conservative.” He was above all
a strict party man and did his best
as Republican leader to see that
the party’s policies were carried out,
As a practical politician. Senator
Watson usually w'as able to tell in
advance the vote on important illus
tration. During the Senate debate
on the League of Nations. Senator
Watson, who sided with the late
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
against the League, was summoned
to the White House by President
Wilson and asked how the vote
would be.
"Mr. President," Watson replied,
“you ^re licked.” Events proved
him correct.
Senator Watson knew several Pres
idents well but he was especially
fond of Warren G. Harding. He
believed that President Harding
and his administration were mis
understood. He was one of the
political leaders that met in a
“smoke-flUed” room to pick Mr.
Harding for President in 1920.
In his active days in politics, Mr.
Watson was in much demand as a
speaker. He used strong and pic
turesque language and as he “got
steamed up" he would frequently
discard his coat and then his vest,
throwing them at random toward a
chair.
Was Vigorous in Debate.
With his oratorical powers he was
effective and vigorous in debate
especially when attacking the Dem
ocratic Party. Notwithstanding
this, he had warm friends among
the Democrats, including the late
Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri
and Senator Pat Harrison of Mis
aissippi.
Mr. Watson was bom at Win
chester. Ind., November 2, 1862.
His father. Enos L. Watson, was a
lawyer. He attended De Pauw

David E. Betts, counsel for Mr.

talks in Berlin. Oen. Smith has

said last week end that the United
States is willing to negotiate with
Russia on differences in Germany
but “not under duress."
In Berlin Der Morgen, newspaper
of the Communist-dominated wlr£
of the Liberal Democratic Party,
said Soviet plans to take over the

satisfactorily and that two weeks’
rations for the whole city already

Hermann Matern, Communist
leader, declared that the anti-Com

tended to pacjc the city hall and
assembly chamber with plainclothes
policemen from the Western sec
tors under orders to provoke an
incident with police from the Soviet
sector.
Social Democratic leaders said
the Communist charges were ‘too
ridiculous to deserve comment.”
However, the division of the police
department between rival Eastern
and Western sector claimants to
the police presidency created a deli
cate and threatening situation for
| the Assembly meeting.

The Berlin police muddle re

two chiefs still claiming office.
Johannes Stumm, anti-Commu

and other high Government officials
have discussed controls with Pres
ident Truman, and will outline de
tails of the program If the commit
tee calls on them for testimony.
“You almost wrecked the economy
of the country the last time we had
controls,” Mr. Wolcott said.
Mr. Porter said there was no in
tention to put in as broad a program
as OPA had.
Limited Rationing Powers.
The administration bill includes
seven titles with these powers:
1. To ration a few products in
short supply.
2. Some authority over wages in
the manufacture of items put under
price control.
3. Restoration of wartime controls
over consumer credit, such as re
strairfing on installment buying.
4. Direct authority to regulate
speculation on commodity exchanges.
5. Authority to regulate bank
credit.
6. Strengthening of rent control
with the administration to bring de
controlled housing units back under
rent ceilings if it deems it necessary.
7. Inventory control of scarce com
modities which basically effect the
essential industrial production, or
the cost of living, and the right to
ration them to industries.
Separate Bill on Profits Tax.
Mr. Porter told reporters that a
separate bill will be sent to Congress
proposing the restoration of the war
time excess profits taxes.
The measure Mr. Porter presented
says price ceilings may be put on
when:
1. The commodity is important to
the cost of living, or of production.
2. The price has risen or threatens
to rise at least 20 per cent above the
June, 1946, level or nearest rep
resentative period.
3. Regulation of the price is
practicable and enforceable:
4. The public interest will be
secured by such regulation.
The measure says price ceilings
set must be “generally fair and
equitable,” and must take into con
sideration speculative fluctuations,
changes in cost, changes in profits
and other relative factors since
November, 1947.
It would permit a temporary
freeze of prices pending industry
consultation, and would provide for
hearings and review of price fixing
orders.
The bill stipulates that for agri
cultural commodities any maximum
price must be high enough to reflect
the parity price or a comparable
price established by the Secretary
of Agriculture.
On wages, the legislation;
Establishes wage controls over
employes only when a maximum
price has been established affecting
the employer and when the em
ployer expects to use the wage ad
justment as a basis for seeking a
price increase.
Wage Board Would Be Named.
A wage board would be created
and would have power to rule on
whether a proposed wage increase
was necessary: l. To compensat*
for increases in the coat of living or
prevent lowering of living stand
ards; 2. To correct inequities in
the wage structure. 3. To correct
substandards of living, or 4. Tc
maintain essential production.

not cure inflation.
Mr. McCabe had said he couldp’t

should be in her employ at the time;
of her death.
The eighth. C. B. Porter, of Wash-1
ington, was described by Mr. WfJ
drop as a former treasurer of the
newspaper. He had not held that
position for more than a year, how
ever, and his leaving the paper had
nothing to do with his elimination
as a beneficiary.
The will dated June 21, 1946,
showed that in a codlcal to the will
in May, 1947, Mrs. Patterson re
voked all bequests to Mr. Porter and
named Mr. Yeatman in his place.
' Mr. Caldwell estimated value of
the estate “very roughly” at
$15,000,000. He explained, however,
that the amount is an approxima
tion that is Impossible to substanti
ate immediately because of large
amounts of real estate holdings.
In answer to another question, the
attorney of the firm of Kirkland,
Fleming, Freen, Martin and Ellis
estimated that * Mrs. Patterson’s
share of stock in the so-called “Mc
Cormick - Patterson trust” — which
owns the Chicago Tribune and New
York News—as about “one-fourth of
the trust.”
Mr. Waldrop said it has not yet
been decided whether a third trustee
will be named to succeed Mr. Yeat
man.
Paper Not for Sale.
Asked about the sales value of the
Times-Herald, the editor countered
that the "value is what somebody
would want to pay for it.
“But it’s not for sale,” he added.
“Mrs. Patterson was offered a lot of
money several times, but always
laughed them off.” Asked whether
the Times-Herald would continue
to be a Republican paper, Mr.
Waldrop said:
“We’ve always been an independ
ent paper and that’s what we’ll con
tinue to be. I’d like to add that
everything is running smoothly over
there. All our boys have their tails
over their back, trying to get out
the best newspaper they know how.”
Fiscal
(Continued From First Page.!
600,000 does not have to be expended
until the fiscal year 1950, Mr. Fow
ler explained, because some of the
construction projects for which it is
earmarked will not be completed by
the end of this fiscal year,
“On a cash basis, the money is
available to meet the $1,600,000 in
Increased salaries and other costs,”
the budget officer said, “but on an
obligation Dasis we are in a hole
because we will have to ask for that
$1,600,000 for the uncompleted
projects all over again in 1950.”
Could Use Reserve Fund.
If the Controller General author
izes further annual pay increases
for “outside” agencies such as the
Zoo and the Parks unit, Mr. Fowler
said, the District’s $700,000 reserve
fund could be used to provide the
< pay raises. But only small-scale
I pay raises could be covered by the
i reserve fund, he said. It must be
1 kept largely intact because of the
rising prices the District encounters
with almost every expenditure. Mr.
Fowler pointed out that only $20,000
was left in the fiscal 1948 reserve
fund of $1,000,000 when that year
ended. *
Meanwhile, the General Account
ing Office head still has under ad
visement a July 20 request by the
Commissioners for a ruling on
whether certain other “outside”
agencies are eligible for the $330
Federal pay increase from District
i funds this year.
These agencies include the Wash
ington Aqueduct, the National
Guard, the register of wills, the
recorder of deeds, the United States
courts, Columbia Hospital and cer
tain employes paid f^om social se
curity and public health grants.
ASK ADOUl ivcvcnuc ouuii-c.
In their letter to the ControUer
General, the city heads asked:
“If you hold that the increase is
authorized (for the above men
tioned agencies), please advise the
Commissioners of the source of rev
enues to meet these obligations.”
Mr. Fowler said that if any other
agencies are granted the pay in
crease, the city heads will have to
begin the strictest economy
measures to insure financial stabil
ity with the probable effect of al
most eliminating new hiring to fill
vacant jobs.
The question of where the District
will get the money to meet further
pay increases was further compli
cated yesterday when Chairman
| Cain, of the Senate District Com
i mittee Fiscal Subcommittee dis
closed that a Senate Republican
conference had decided to consider
only national emergency measures
at the special session.
His statement indicated there is
little possibility of a favorable Sen
ate action on the District pay
raise and 2 per cent sales tax bill.
The District could not meet a $330
pay raise for its employes unless
the bill is passed.
Meanwhile, at the Capitol it was
expected that the States’ rights fili
buster against the anti-poll tax bill,
to start in earnest today in the
Senate, might sound a death knell
to pay raise question there.
Johnston’s Threat Decides Issue.
The threat of Senator Johnston,
Democrat, of South Carolina to
Btart another filibuster against the
House-passed sales tax bill, pending
on the Senate Calendar, was a key
to the decision of Senate Republi
cans yesterday to set the city reve
nue bill aside.
A last-minute appeal may be
made to Senator Johnston to with
hold filibuster tactics and permit
some final decision on the city’s
revenue crisis." If he were willing
merely to state his case for "the
little people’’ and then let the Sen
ate vote, Senators said, there might
still be hope for tax bill action.
Sponsors of the revenue bill,
however, were not optimistic.
The case of the District’s needs
was outlined to the Senate Repub
lican conference yesterday by
Chairman Buck of the Senate Dis
trict Committee and Senator Cain.
They got an attention hearing,
judging from reliable reports, but
won only a promise that the Dis
trict’s affairs would be considered
later—if the Southerners’ filibuster
was broken, permitting other busi
ness before adjournment.
Little Assembly Asks
U. N. to Extend Life
By th« Associated Press
LAKE SUCCESS, July 29.—The
United Nations Little Assembly
agreed unanimously yesterday to
recommend an extension of its life.
The delegates decided to let the
General Assembly determine the
period.
The United States, original spon
sor of the Little Assembly plan In
the 1947 Assembly, had proposed a
one-year extension. This was in
dorsed by John Foster Dulles, Re
publican policy adviser, in a news
conference juSt before the vote.
Mr. Dulles was a member of the
American deleagtion which pushed
the Little Assembly resolution
through last fall. He also is ex
pected to be a member of the dele
gation which will go to the Paris
session of the Assembly beginning
September 21.
Mr. Dulles tolcJ/newsmCIi he felt
the Little Assembly had demson
strated its usefulness despite the
fact that it was boycotted by the six
Sovie bloc countries.
He said he thought it would have
been better if the Soviet bloc had
been represented, but he favored an
extension—with or without Russia
and her satellites.
Hohenzollern Prince
Faces New Reich Trial
■y the Altociated Pre*»
FRANKFURT, Germany, July 29.
—The newspaper Frankfurter Rund
schau said today that a prince of
the House of Hohenzollern may
soon face a German court on
charges of crimes against human
ity.
Prince August Wilhelm of Prus
sia, fourth son of the late Kaiser
Wilhelm, was arrested in Crail
sheim, in the American zone, a
week ago, but released in bail of
50,000 German marks, the paper
said, quoting the Dena News
Agency.
The arrest, Rundschau said, was
made by German police on the
strength of a warrant issued by a
German district court at Potsdam,
in the Russian zone. No applica
tion for extradition has yet been
received through military govern
ment channels by the state prose
cutor in Stuttgart. * Potsdam was
the historic seat of the Hohenzol
lem family.
The Prince was convicted by a
German denazification court on
May 13 of being a Nazi offender
and sentenced to twd and a half
years’ imprisonment. He was re
leased the same day, credited with
time already served.
Prince August Wilhelm was the
only son of the Kaiser known to
have joined the Nazis. He held a
high honorary rank in Hitler’s
Storm Troops.
