Truman Still Sticks
To Mon Wallgren
► -
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman has no intention of with
drawing Mon C. Wallgren’s nom
ination as chairman of the nation
al security resources board, he
said yesterday.
The President, asked at a news
conference if Wallgren was consid
ering asking him to withdraw the
nomination, told reporters they
would have to ask the former
Washington governor what is on
his mind. As for himself, the Pres
ident said he had no intention of
recalling the appointment.
Mr. Truman’s nomination of
Wallgren, a long time friend and
former Senate colleague, has lan
guished in a Senate committee
pigeonhole since some Senators
objected that he did not measure
up to the job.

Communist World
Peace Conference
1 )pens In Paris
PARIS, (/P) — A commu n i s t - j
sponsored world peace conference
opened here today with a plea for
the formation of peace commit
tee’s throughout the world to carry
out the congress’ plans.
The French communist atomic1
scientist, Frederic Joliot-Curie,
told the 1,800 delegates from 52
nations:
“We will show the warmongers
that they have to reckon with us.
We fight this fight with the cer
tainty of victory.
Joliot-Curie said an atomic war
would be “terrible even for its ini
tiators” but that the atom bomb or j
other atomic weapons would not
be the decisive factor in the fight
ing. He is the head of France’s
atomic energy commission.
Unlike a world peace conference
held in New York last month, this
one opened with no anti-commun
ist pickets outside the meeting
place and no evidence of any spe
cial police precautions.

SEATTLE, (i^P)—N. G. Pappas, |
70-year-old native of Crete, plans j

across the country.”
