Gabrielson Takes Bid
For Votes to South
In Birmingham Talk <
By Gould Lincoln
The Republican bid for voter
support in the “solid South” was
carried to Birmingham, Ala
today by Republican National
Chairman Guy George Gabrielson,
speaking at a Lincoln Day
luncheon.
“Wfe are here today, making
the same plea that Abraham
Lincoln made in the dimness of
the past,” Mr. Gabrielson said.
“Our plea is almost identically
the same—let us unite to pre
serve our Republic from socialism
within and from communism
without."
The G. O. P. chairman said in
an interview the Republican
presidential nominee this year
will campaign throughout the
South.
“No matter who the candidate
will be,” he said, “we plan for
him a tour of Dixie.”
Speech Is Precedent.
Mr. Gabrielson’s visit to Ala
bama to deliver a speech at a
Lincoln Day rally is itself a prece
dent. The Republican chairman
urged his audience to remember
that Lincoln, the first Republican
President, was a Southerner.
“He never lost his deep affection
for the South,” Mr. Gabrielson
continued. “While he lived, he
fought with bitter determination
against those who sought to take
stern measures against the States
of the Confederacy.”
“On the very eve of his death,
he said: ‘Enough lives have been
sacrificed: we must extinguish our
resentment if we expect harmony
and union.”’
Mr. Gabrielson said the un
timely death of Lincoln had been
followed by a tragic era in which
one political party became soli
fled in the South. As the years
have passed, however, he added,
the Republican Party and the po
litical leaders of the South have
' been drawn closer and closer to
gether.
Oppose “Socialist Democrats.”
Today, he said, both stand in
opposition to the “Socialist Dem
ocrat Party of the Truman ad
ministration. “The Republican
Party is trying to bridge the gulf
created more than four score
years ago.
“Are we not making the same
fight?” asked Mr. Gebrielson. “Are
we not in wholehearted agree
ment in our opposition to the con
centration of power in the Federal
Government—in short—to social
ism?
“Our friends call themselves
States’ Righters and we call our
selves Republicans. But they op
pose corruption in government—
and so do we.
“They are sickened and shamed
by the wasteful, political spending
of the Truman administration—
and so are we.
“They are fearful lest more
blundering in the administration's
foreign policy let loose the flood
gates of communism to sweep
through Europe or the Near East
as it did through China—and so
are we.
rorgei uinerences.
“That is why it is our duty, as
Republicans, to persuade our
Southern friends to support the
Republican Party in this election
year. We must forget sectional
differences and remember the
need of the people of our nation.”
Mr. Gabrielson said there exists
a deep and fundamental split in
the Democratic Party today.
“There are,” he said, “the tra
ditional Democrats who espouse
very nearly the same principles
and objectives as those of the Re
publican Party, and there are the
johnny - come - lately Democrats
who support an American version
of socialism.”
Despite this area of intense dis
agreement, the Democrats of the
South, he said, have continued to
support the national candidates
of their party—thereby assuring
those candidates 128 electoral
votes, even though those candi
dates care nothing about the
South and its interests.'
Concentrate on Other 138.
With this assurance, the New
Fair Deal Democrats have been
able to concentrate on winning the
other 138 electoral votes necessary
to elect a President in the indus
trial areas of the country, where
the radicals have been strong. He
declared:
“We must demonstrate to the
Southern voters that his best in
terests lie in a two-party system,
which means growth and strength
ening of the Republican Party.
In the Republican Party the
Southern voter will find the same
rockribbed core of Americanism
that is the foundation of the
South.”

Budget Bureau Urges Cut
Of $343 Million in Road Bill
ly th« Associated Press
The Budget Bureau wants a
Federal highway program of only
1465 million a year from July 1,
1953, to June 30, 1955—not $808
millions annually as proposed in a
Senate bill.
Assistant Director Elmer B.
Staats of the Budget Bureau ap
peared yesterday before a Senate
public works subcommittee to
make the recommendation. It was
in line with a general policy of
restricting Federal public works
programs during defense mobiliza
tion. |
The bureau recommended par
ing Federal highway aid, now
totaling $500 million to $400 mil
lion. . The money is matched
equally by States which build the
roads. Also recommended was
elimination of a proposed spe
cial fund of $150 million for “de
fense access” roads.
W.&M. Business Manager
Resigns After 18 Years
By th* Associated Press
WILLIAMSBURG, Va„ Feb. 9.
—The business manager of the
College of William and Mary,
Charles J. Duke, jr., has handed
In his resignation after 18 years
an the job.
Mr. Duke wrote College Presi
dent Alvin Duke Chandler that
his move was dictated by ill health
and the desire to see an entirely
fresh staff of officials operating
under the new president.
Officially the bursar of the col
lege, Mr. Duke asked yesterday
that his resignation be made ef
fective June 30.
Mr. Duke’s resignation was the
second on the campus on the same
day. Head Football Coach Marvin
Bass announced yesterday morn
ing that he was quitting.
After receiving the letter, Mr.
Chandler praised Mr. Duke for
having “served the college faith
fully and well many years, dur
ing some of its most trying times.”

than a year ago „hey asked the
Agriculture Department’s help in
cleaning up irregularities, but got
nowhere.”
Senator Aiken said the Senate
committee has received “numer
ous” tips which, if they prove true,
will dwarf the present disclosures.
So far, the administration has
started civil suits covering about
$5 million in shortages, and is in
vestigating more than a score of
other suspected cases. A number
of criminal prosecutions probably
will follow.
Phantom Freight Charges.
Senator Aiken said one of the
reports he has received is that
some warehousemen may have
charged the Government for grain
transportation that they did not
provide.
He said ' the deal might work
like this: A warehouseman might
store grain for the Government
in an elevator in Kansas; he
might have privately stored grain
in another elevator in Texas. The
Government, as an . example,
might order its Kansas wheat de
livered in Texas. But the grain
dealer simply would deliver the
wheat already in his Texas ele
vator—and charge the Govern
ment transportation all the way
from Kansas.
Senator Aiken said he did not
know to what extent, if any, this
was done, but would make sure
the Agriculture Committee stud
ied such possibilities.
The Agriculture Department
has about $2 'billion worth of farm
commodities in storage to help
keep farm prices up. Secretary
Brannan says the shortages in
such a gigantic program are “sur
prisingly small.”

Reds Invited to Give
Testimony on Katyn
■y ih« Associated Prow
Russia is being invited officially
to defend itself before a congres
sional committee against testi
mony that Soviet soldiers massa
cred 10,000 Polish officers during
World War H.
Chairman Madden of the special
House group said he would write
an official letter to the Soviet Em
bassy here making the offer. He
added:
“We will hear anybody who has
evidence to present.”
The Russians have accused Hit
ler’s Nazis in the massacre in
Katyn-Forest. But several wit
nesses told the committee this
week the Russians killed the of
ficers.
One of the witnesses was an
unnamed, masked ex-Polish of
ficer who said he saw the Soviets
kill 200 officers.
Mr. Madden said he had been
informed two Russian representa
tives took notes during this week’s
open hearing. Neither was an ac
credited newspaperman, he added.
The Russians are welcome to
attend, Mr. Madden said, but “we
just don’t like them to think
they’re putting anything over on
us.”
The hearings have .been recessed
for about two weeks.

RFC Offers Bank Stock
Acquired in 1930s
By th« Associated Press
The Government is making an
effort to return to private control
all securities it acquired in res
cuing hard-hit banks in the de
pression of the 1930s.
The Reconstruction Finance
Corp. offered for sale yesterday
the remaining $5^,543,601 in se
curities it holds in 151 banks
across the Nation. At one time,
the Government held $85,677,000
in stocks and securities in 370
banks.
Public sale of stock could re
sult in transfer of control and
ownership of some of the 151
banks since the stock represents
majority control in some cases.
The banks will be given the
first opportunity to take up their
own securities and directors of
each bank will have , a chance to
approve or reject each purchaser.
The sales also are subject to ap
proval by State banking commis
sioners.
Up to now the banks themselves
have retired their own depression

Stassen Strategy Puzzles Taft
And Eisenhower Supporters
By Jock Bell
Auoclited Pres« Political Writer.
What is Harold E. Stas^en, for
mer Governor of Minnesota, up
to in a race that now looks Idee
a Taft-Eisenhower contest for tne
Republican presidential nomina
tion?
. That's a question puzzling some
Washington political observers as
well as many suifcorters of Sena
tor Taft of Ohio and Gen. Eisen
hower.
The Taft camp thinks Mr. Stas
sen is off the political beam in
challenging the Senator on his
home grounds in Ohio and forc
ing him to run in- such States as
Illinois and West Virginia, where
he had not planned: to enter.
The Ohloan'a supporters ac
cuse Mr. Stassen of being an
Eisenhower stalking horse and
heading a stop-Taft drive—both
Of which he denies.
Eisenhower backers are sore at
Mr. Stassen for leaving his name
in .the March 11 New Hampshire
primary, where they figure he is
likely to cut into the vote for the
general and thus help Senator
Taft.
rney regard wir. ouuwu o
to keep Minnesota’s convention
rate in-his own camp as a blow
where it hurts.
But Mr. Stassen, a young man
who feels he has a mission to re
build the Republican Party along
what he calls more progressive
lines, goes determinedly on his way
as though he expected to have the
presidential nomination within
his grasp at the Chicago con
vention.
From what he says himself,
Mr. Stassen’s whole campaign is
based primarily on (1) the as
sumption Gen. Eisenhower won’t
return from Europe and thus
won’t get the nomination, (2) the
possibility he can demonstrate
popularity in primary contests
and (3) the evident hope he can
emerge as a compromise candi
date.
The former Minnesota Gover
nor’s strength does not now appeal
widespread. He contends he will
win the Wisconsin primary, where
he is entered against Senator Taft.
If he does that, of course, he will
become a major factor to be
reckoned with.
Outside of that possibility, how
ever, he seems to have only Min
nesota and a scattered few dele
gates from New Jersey, Missouri,
Colorado and some other States
on which to count.
Adopts Vandenberg Ideas.
Unless he wins a major primary,
he now seems unlikly to be able
to match the 70 California votes
■ .. 1 ■■■■ ■■■■■!■ — r
Gov. Earl Warren of California is
almost certain to carry into the
convention. Gov. Warren also is
an announced candidate, but
hasn’t yet moved 'outside Cali
fornia. -
Mr. Sfcs&n is making it per
fectly evident he wants to become
the spokesman for what might be
called the. “internationalist” ele
ment of the party.. He_has classi
fied Senator Taft and his fol
lowers as members of a “semi
isolationist Republican hierarchy.”
The Minpesotan has picked up
some of the ideas of the late Sen
ator Vandenberg of Michigan. A
notable example is his espousal of
tax incenttves for corporations
which share their profit* with
their workers, a proposal Senator
Vandenberg plugged for yearn. $
Always in the minds of Mr.
Stassep’s friends is the evident
thought that here is a young man
who speaks theif views, who may
not get the nomination this year,
but who—mariy of them think
will have tp be reckoned With in
the future., •

FTC Examiner Urges
Ban on Dolcin Claims
By th* Associated Press
A Federal Trade Commission
examiner ruled yesterday that the
medical preparation dolcin is
not a cure and an effective treat
ment for any arthritic or rheu
matic condition and said such
claims should be banned in ad
vertising.
Examiner Abner E. Lipscomb’s
initial decision will become the
decision of the commission in 30
days unless it is appealed or
docketed by the FTC for review.
Mr. Lipscomb said that since
the only active ingredient in dol
cin is an acid commonly known
as aspirin, the preparation will
"give temporary relief only to
minor aches, pains and discom- .
forts accompanying arthritis and
rheumatism."
His ruling also would ban the
representation that dolcin is eco
nomical. He found the retail price
of dolcin is $2 for 100 tablets,
whereas the same quantity of a
well-known brand of aspirin sells
for 59 cents and many other
brands are less.
In New York, Victor van der
Linde, president of the Dolcin
Corp., said the decision will be
appealed.
He declared “absolutely wrong."
Mr. Lipscomb's statement that the
only active ingredient in dolcin
is aspirin. “The weight of scien
tific evidence proves the contrary,”
Mr. Van der Linde said.
