(By D. Harold Oliver)
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Harold E. j
Stassen said today he is “optimis
tic’’ about world peace, and also ,
thinks he has a “fighting chance” j
to becomd the next President ol 1
the United States.
The former Minnesota governor
an announced candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomina-;
tion held a news conference timed
to publication of his book “Where
1 Stand.”
In the book he urged a sharp
cut in upper bracket individual in
come taxes and a special levy on |
large fortunes. He also suggested j
new programs for housing and
health, three amendments to the
Taft-Hartley labor act and a dozen
steps for combatting Communism
in this country.
Stassen told the news conference
a new constitutional amendment
may be needed to put his tax ideas
into effect. He said they would
have practically no effect, how
ever, on the amount of revenue to
the government. *
A reporter asked Stassen about
his plans to invade “Taft terri
tory” on a quest for delegates in
the South.

waves in the tossing north Atlan- .
tic was just another volunteer job
to.the seven lifeboat crewmen of
the U. S. Army Hospital ship

Brooklyn, master of the hospital
ship said “I wasn’t afraid we
wouldn’t make it. I wouldn’t hive
my men attempting anything it T
didn’t think I could do it person
| ally. If the seas had been too
I rough, I would have rescued the
men with a breeches buoy.”
“When we first hove to rear
( her,’ van Rosen said /‘everyone on
board was a-pumping and a-pray
, ing.”
I The master of the stricken sh.p
said none of the men had slept for

Soviet Embassy
Lavish In
Entertainment
(By Edward E. Bomar)
WASHINGTON. (/P>—Secretary
of State Marshall and top army
and navy officials were conspicu
ously absent from the Russian em
bassy’s celebration Friday night of
the 30th anniversary of the Soviet
revolution.
There was no official boycott of
the function, however, despite
Soviet-American tension.
Assistant secretaries Norman
Armour and Willard Throp were
among the U. S. and foreign diplo
matic officials who shook hands
with Andrei A. Vishinsky, Soviet
vice commissar of foreign affairs,
and Semen K. Tsarapkin, embassy
charge d’affaires.
State department Russian ex
perts observed that the turnout
was substantially greater than that
of Soviet officials at the annual
U. S. Independence Day celebra
tion at the American embassy in
Moscow.
Nearly all the 63 nations with
diplomatic missions in Washington
were represented at the party, held
a few hours after Red army troops
marched through Moscow’s Red
Square in the annual display of
Soviet military might.
Lord Inverchapel, the British
ambassador, and France’s Henri
Bonnet attended but showed up
late. The envoy of Brazil, which
last month severed diplomatic re
lations with Moscow, was missing.
A huge, poster-like oil painting
over the embassy’s grand stairway
which depicted the 1917 street
fighting in Moscow was about the
only reminder of the proletarian
tradition of the communist revo
lution.
Tables were as loaded with cav
iar, pheasant, sturgeon, pate do
foie gras and vodka as when Czar
ist ambassadors entertained in the
same embassy before World War I.
In 1946, the death rate in
France was the lowest in the his
tory of the country.
