Truman May Have
To Be Satisfied
With Less Than All
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Demo
cratic leaders were reported Sat
urday to be aiming for an August
15 adjournment of Congress—
even if several of President Tru
man’s measures are left untouch
ed.
An influential Democrat who
asked not to be quoted by name
told a reporter the President’s as
sertion Congress ought to stay in
session until it passes most of his
program doesn’t mean that’s go
ing to happen.
Despite Mr. Truman’s statement
that every one of a score or more
of his legislative plans deserves
priority rating, there were signs
that he may have to be satisfied
w’ith final action on a half dozen.
And Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) pre
dicted that one of these—proposed
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act—
may reach the President in such
form that he will be tempted to
veto it.
Russians Winning
Battle of Airways
NEW YORK, </P) — The “Voice
of America” admits the Russians
have regained the upper hand in
the growing battle of the airways.
A Voice spokesman said Friday
night that American broadcasts to
Russia virtually have been drown
ed out by a record 205 Soviet
jamming stations.
‘‘We are getting through only
for brief and scattered periods,”
the Voice spokesman said.
Working with the British Broad
casting Corp., the Voice has .only
61 stations with which to beam
American information to Soviet
listeners. The Rvissians are using
seven or eight jamming trans
mitters against a single voice sta

Communist fugitive Gerh art
Eisler was free today after win

told that U. S. attorney general
Tom Clark had said efforts would
be continued to have him return

said, “I expect every dirty trick
from them—the House un-Amer

The victorious Chinese com

comparative ease, now have the
problem of running that great
metropolis of 6,000,000 persons. It
is the largest city to come under
Chinese communist rule.
At present it is in economic
chaos. Stores are re-opening, how
ever, and hawkers crowd the side
walks. The week of siege is a
dread memory. The communist
regime is expected to set its rate

The Voice threw more transmit

broadcasting around the clock.
This worked for a while until
Russia stepped up her jamming
