Congress Divided
Over Truman’s
Two Requests
(Continued from Page One*
the UMT proposal which he long
has opposed.
Taft said he regretted that Mr.
Truman had rfbt pressed for “real
unification of the armed forces"
and for the world’s biggest air
force.
The air force idea found wide
support.
In this connection. Sen ator
Brewster <R.-Med told a reporter
the President made “a significant
omission.”
"The Russians have no concept
of a navy, being a great land
mass,” Brewster said. “And they
have no concern about an inva
sion, having resisted invasions for
centuries. Air power is the only
thing they understand—that has
been demonstrated.
But chairman Gurney (R.-S. DJ
of the Senate armed services com
mittee said air power alone can
not guard bases and the shores of
a continent. He personally is sym
pathetic to the draft proposal, he
told reporters.
Chairman Taber (R.-N.Y.) of the
appropriations committee put the
cost of a combined draft-UMT
program at $1,500,000,000 in the
next year. But he said that would
not affect the cutting plans.
Meanwhile, chairman Leo Allen
(R.-Ill.) kept the House rules com
mittee’s lid tightly closed against
letting UMT legislation reach the
floor. A training bill won approval
of Andrews’ armed services com
mittee last year, but the rules
committee has refused to put it on
the House calendar.
“The President’s message does
not change a thing,” Allen told re
porters.
Barring a change of mind by Al
len’s committee, about the only
way to get the UMT bill before the
House is through a petition signed
by 218 members.

Ellis Island
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Attorney
General Tom Clark today author
ized the release of Mme. Irene Jo
liot-Curie, the French scientist,
who had been detained by immi
gration officials at Ellis Island.
Mme. Joliet-Curie was taken
into custody and removed to the
Island shortly after her arrival
late yesterday in New York from
Paris.
; Waiting at Laguardia airport to
greet her were officers of the joint
anti-Fascist refugee committee,
: which has been listed by Clark as
a subversive organization.
A committee spokesman said
she had come to this country “to
acquaint the American people
with the immediate needs of the
Spanish Republicans in exile.”
The order for Mme. Joliot Cur
ie’s release followed earlier indica
tions from the justice department
that she would be detained until
it could be determined whether
her entry would be “prejudicial to
the best interests of the United
States.”
She was released on her own

line Explodes
PETERSBURG, Ind., </P) — An
explosion that ripped the “Little
Inch” pipeline last night set off a
fire that seared a 15 acre area and
destroyed two houses. No one was

fragments of pipe 300 feet.
