Truman Calls For j
Outside Help
WASHINGTON, (/P)—President
Truman, going part way with Re
publican Senator Vandenberg,
called for outside help today in
wri .;hing America’s foreign aid
policy with this country’s ability
to pay.
The Democratic chief executive
designated 19 leaders of business,
labor, agriculture, education and
research as a “non-partisan” com
mi’tee to advise him on how much
help can “safely and wisely” be
sent abroad.
The implication was plain; that
the United States may find it nec
essary to stem the flow of dollars,
food, fuel and materials to war
damaged nations.
The “impact upon our domestic
economy’ of such aid is of “grave
concern to every American,’ said
Mr. Truman’s announcement last
and “merits most careful
study.”
It was equally clear that the
President was making a final ef
fort to prevent the bipartisan for
eign policy from piling up in the
veto-strewn wreckage of his do
mestic legislative program.
Mr. Truman took the words
“safely and wisely” from the call
Vandenberg sounded 10 days ago
for a council of Democrats and Re
r*--hi'cans to help set the limits
within which this government can
plan its economic help to foreign
nations. j
But whether Vandenberg, chaip
man of the Senate foreign rela
tions committee, and his Republi
can colleagues will be satisfied re
mained to be seen. . j

Three Dead From
Accidents
_ . ' |
(By The Associated Press* •
Two nine-year-old Seattle boys
—Arthur Stevenson and Leon
Wallace Shores—were drowned in
separate accidents yesterday, one
in Seattle and the other in wa
ters below Bumping Lake dam in
Yakima county.
A third accident victim of the
weekend was Emanuel Johnson,
.75, of Mercer Island. Johnson was
fatally injured Saturday night
when, according to state patrol
man D. L. LaLanne, he stepped
suddenly into the path of a car
driven by Frank S. Akins, 28, pro
fessional football player. Akins
was not held.
The body of young Stevenson
was recovered last night from a
backwater on Harbor Island tide
flats. Witnesses said the boy fell
into* the water from a log while
fishing.
Young Shores also slipped from
a log, an unidentified fisherman
told Yakima county deputy sher
iff Bud Burleson. He told forest
rangers the boy “never came up” (
and t\iat he was unable to locate
the body below the surface.
Searchers equipped with grap
pling hooks brought to the scene
from Yakima, 72 miles southeast,
combed the waters in an unsuc- i
cessful effort to recover the body.'

Truman And Taft
Give Broadcasts
X . t ,
WASHINGTON, (£>>—President
Truman and Senator Taft 'R.
Ohio) laid before the nation in \ *
nal round radio debates Friday
night their blistering argument:
for and against enacting the Taft
Hartley union control bill into
law.
While the Senate was warm:
up for a rare and angry all-nigh*
session, Mr. Truman took to the
radio with a follow-up to his vet
message, overridden by the House.
Calling the bill “shocking,” the
President said it would increase
industrial strife, and sow “seeds
of discord” that would impair the
country’s unity and strength.
He declared the measure was
“loaded.” and “filled with hidden
legal traps,” and said employers
as well as unions would “regret
the day that it was conceived.”
Taft, one of the bill’s authors,
replied with a broadcast a half an ;
hour later. . .
He said Mr. Truman had “com
pletely misrepresented” the char
acter of the bill in his veto and
'had attempted to set his judgment
up over that of House Democrats.
“His veto message shows that
he knows practically nothing
about the bill itself,” Taft de
clared.
THE LATEST U. S. CENSUS
listed 10,000,000 adults as virtual
ly illiterate, according to the En
cyclopaedia Britannica. Of these,
3,000,000 had never attended
school.
Oil Shipments To
Russia Are Normal
WASHINGTON. <;P> —.Thomas
E. Blaisdell, chief of the commerce
department’s office of internation
al trade, told Congress today that
current United States oil ship
ments to Russia are “normal.”
Blaisdell was called to testify
before a House armed service
sub - committee after Chairman
Shafer (R.-Mich.) said he was con
cerned over the oil shipments in
the face of a reported petroleum
shortage here.
“There is nothing^.unusual about
a shipment of an estimated half a.
million barrels of petroleum prod
ucts to Siberia from west coast
ports. This is a normal seasonal
movement. The volume concerned
is not of a huge magnitude,” Blais
dell testified.
Shafer interrupted to say “there
was nothing unusual about send
ing scrap iron and oil to Japan in
the 1930’s either.”
James H. Hayes, commerce de
partment petroleum expert, said
half a million barrels of petrole
um were exported during May,
but he did not know how much of
it went to Russia. Mayes said the
Soviet received 72,000 barrels
from the United States the first
three months of this year.
Mayes testified that exports to
Russia were 2,500,000 barrels last
year and 5,000,000 barrels in 1945.
