Women's Clubs Open
Program io Combat
World Communism
By th« Associated Press
HOUSTON, Tex., May 17.—The
2,000 delegates to the naitonal con
vention of the Federation of
Women’s Clubs begin today a drive
to combat world communism.
Their program is a national
eampaign for CARE packages to
Korea.
“The whole purpose of extend
ing women’s club work to foreign
nations is to create a better under
standing in order to combat com
munism," said Mrs. John L.
Whitehurst of Baltimore.
“It’s the Russian policy to be
little America and help the people
in need,” said Mrs. Whitehurst,
who is chairman for the Council
of International Clubs of the fed
eration.
Foreign Nations Represented.
Well, we are going to do what
we can to answer that in our own
way,” she said.
Sparking the campaign are 23
women from 11 foreign nations
who are international delegates to
the six-day convention that
opened here Monday.
Coming in today is the Foreign
Minister of Korea, Y. T. Pyun,
who will tell the women what
they can do to help his country.

D. C. Unit Wins Award.
The general federation’s exten
sion awards were given to Cali
fornia for the largest number of
new clubs, to Maine for the great
est increase in membership and
to the District of Columbia for
the greatest proportional increase.
Yesterday the clubwomen balked
at indorsing universal military
training and service for their sons.
A majority of the delegates voted
to send a resolution indorsing the
training and service back to a
committee for revision. It will
be brought up again tomorrow.
Mrs. H. B. Ritchie of Athens,
Oa., chairman of the Resolutions
Committee, told the women that
“Tt’s not a matter of putting men
into the trenches now; it’s a mat
ter of having a citizenry with
every able-bodied man trained.”
Age Provisions O.K.
She said that the resolution
ehose 18 years as the age for uni
versal military training to begin
“Because that is the time when
it will disrupt a boy’s life least.”
No one voiced objection to the
age provisions. But, one by one,
women came to the floor micro
phones with other observations.
Said Mrs. Alfred Maguire of Los
Angeles: “California favors ex
tension of the Selective Service
Act until there’s more clarification
of Just what universal military
training will be.”

21 for their convention, the next
available open date. The Demo
crats, of course, could decide to
hold their convention before the;
Republicans, beginning June 30.!
But that is against all precedent
for more than a half century. The
Democrats invariably have taken
a look at the Republican presiden

platform before they settled on
their own.
Werner W. Schroeder, Repub
lican national committeeman for
Illinois, who led the successful
fight against Philadelphia as his
party’s convention city at the
recent Tulsa meeting of the GOP
national committee, said that the
Chicago Citizens Committee, com
posed of both Republican and
Democrats, is now hard at work
to get $500,000 for the two na

"I am very hopeful and con
fident that the rest of the money
will be raised.”
Mr. Arvey admitted that the

ocratic convention to their city. He
added, however, that he believed

MacArthur Furor Dying.
The furor and emotionalism
over the dismissal of Gen Mac
Arthur from his Far Eastern com
mands and the general’s return
home have died down here. But
Gen. MacArthur has left his im
print. Not only are many persons
still indignant because of his treat
ment. but the general’s address to
Congress and his statements be
fore the Senate committees in
Washington have modified think
ing.
He has definitely impressed the
idea that the Far East, too, is of
great importance in the global
situation. Too many “globalists.’’
it is pointed out here, have in the
past considered Europe the big
show and Asia a little side show.
Definitely, it appears, Gen. Mac
Arthur has changed the thinking
of many people in the Midwest
on this point.
The cry that Gen. MacArthur
should be nominated for Presi
dent next year—started in this
city by the Chicago Tribune, is
fading out, too. People are just
not thinking of him as a candi
date or as Involved in politics.
They accept his frank denial that
he will run for office.
The shrinkage of Truman pop
ularity here has been very great,
according to observers, and some
Chinese emerged from aban
doned gold and silver mines and
streamed south along mountain
trails. Their columns were well
spaced, making poor tarkets for
constant hammering by U. N. ar
tillery and planes.
These Reds opened up at dusk
with long-range guns on U. N.
troops on the north bank of the
Han River. They used some mor
tars and howitzers and more were
coming south on pack mules.
Chinese made strong probing
attacks around Uijongbu, 11 miles
north of Seoul.
of tham are very friendly to his
administration. If the election
were held tomorrow and Mr
Truman were a candidate to suc
ceed himself, he would be de
cisively beaten, they say.
These same observers admit
however, that the political pic
ture eould change in a year’s
time, particularly if the Korean
war is brought to an end with
an honorable peace. If that hap
pens, Mr. Truman would be sit

his friends asserted.
Republican leaders here gen
erally insist it is too early to talk
of Republican presidential can
didacies. Senator Taft of Ohio,
it seems pretty ek r, will have
the backing of many Illinois
political leaders in his camp if he
becomes a candidate. Further, it
is Insisted, the talk of Oen. Eisen
hower for President is heard less
today than it was last year.
Illinois Republicans have a po
tential dark horse candidate of
their own, Senator Dirksen, who
defeated Senate Majority Leader
Scott Lucas last November. No
open movement to nominate him,
or to gather delegates for him, has
been launched. But the word is
going around to watch for Senator
Dirksen should the Republican
National Convention get itself in
a tangle over the presidential
nomination.

8th Air Force Commander
Rescinds Press Ban
By the Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Tex., May 17.—
Maj. Gen. Samuel E. Anderson,
commander of the 8th Air Force,
yesterday rescinded in its entirety
a new public relations policy.
The policy was announced after
a flve-day news ban on one news
paper, the Fort Worth Press.
Gen. Anderson said the action
was rescinded after consulting
with the office of the Secretary of
the Air Force.
Under the plan, commanders
of the 8th Air Force units would
have been required to dispatch
an officer to the home of the next
of kin of airmen involved in a
fatal aircraft accident.
In reply to queries from the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors, Gen, Anderson gave two
reasons for levying the five-day
news ban and inaugurating a new
public relations policy.
He said he felt the Air Force
was obliged to protect the best
interests of the survivors of men
killed in recent B-36 crashes.
He said he wanted to protect
the “morale of officers and airmen
who may some day be killed In
similar crashes.”

Cripps Being Treated
For 'Rare Disease'
By the Associated Press
ZURICH, Switzerland, May 17.—
The condition of Sir Stafford
Cripps, former British Chancellor
of the Exchequer, is causing1
“great and continuing anxiety."
A statement issued here yester-'
day by his wife said the pioneer
Laborite not only is suffering from
a tubercular infection of the
spine—as previously announced—
but is being treated for an abdom
inal complication which Lady
Cripps described as a “rare and
dangerous disease.”
The abdominal complication was
not otherwise identified.
Sir Stafford came to Switzer
land last November for treatment
of spondylitis, a tubercular infec
tion of the spine. The abdominal
trouble apparently was discovered
later.
Lady Cripps said X-ray treat
ments given at Lausanne had
"helped considerably.”
