Tuesday, Apr. 15, 1947 White House Says Wallace Is Speaking as'Private Citizen' Hy'0fficial Notice' Taken of His Attacks Abroad on U. S. Foreign Policy; Angry Blasts At Former Vice President Swell in Congress WASHINGTON, April 15. (IP)--The White-House said today tha 1 Henry A.

Wallace speaks, only as "a private citizen" in his attack abroad on American foreign policy, and no "official notice" ha: been his speeches. Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross emphasized that when reporters questioned him at a news conference about the furore raised in Congress by the forme vice president's assertions, tha the United States is embarked on a coursb of "imperialism." One question was whethe this government would notifj British government that Wai lace is "speaking for himself." Ross replied: "It is an obvious fact, is it not that Mr. Wallace is speaking as private citizen? I have no com ment on that." Asked if it would be to assume that the U. S.

govern ment has taken no official notic of Wallace's speeches, Ross said "Of course it has taken no of iclah notice." He added that any official no tice would be published-. The questioning started with a query as to -Whether Presiden Truman -has been asked, or- th White House asked, by Congres members to make some state ment about Wallace. Angry Blasts Grow "Not to my knowledge," Ros replied. Leading Democrats, mean while, 'swelled the chorus of an gry congressional blasts at Wai lace. Senator Tydings (Md), an Lucas members of the Sen ate Democratic policy commit tee, criticized Wallace in word even sharper than some of thei: Republican colleagues used in assailing the former vice presi dent for his attacks in England on the President's foreign policy program.

Lucas, one of the first Demo cats to raise his voice last week in protest against Wallace': statements that the United State; is embarking on a career of "im perialism," told reporters: "Henry Wallace is a merchan of confusion--selling America short." Tydings said in an interview that the former secretary of com merce had used "extremely bac in campaigning abroad against the Greek-Turkish pro posal, adding: "Mr. Wallace does not appre date that what he is doing is at tempting to weaken the prestige of his country in one of the mos critical periods of world Truman Remains Silent The congressional uproar against Wallace, however, thus far has elicited no corresponding expression from President Truman. Republicans have called for a statement of Mr. Truman's views and many Democrats privately have urging. such White House action.

Developments indicated, meanwhile, that the -administration may. seek its answer to Wallace in a rousing Senate vote in favor of the pending, bill to furnish 5400,000,000 in financial and limited military assistance to Greece arid Turkey to bolster them against Communism. Senators McClellan (D-Ark) and Connally (D-Tex), joined the Wallace critics yesterday after Republicans and Democrats launched a verbal assault on the former cabinetr member in the House. McClellan said Wallace "showing his true colors" and Connally said the former vice president not helping his country nor is he helping himself by his present course of conduct." "Should Revoke Passport" Senator Elmer Thomas (D- Okla), expressed the belief that Wallace's passport should be revoked "in such a way as to serve notice on foreign countries, that Wallace is not there any longer with our approval." Said Thomas: "Wallace is not hurting any one but himself. No one in this country pays any serious attention to him." Chairman J.

Parnell Thomas (R-NJ) of the House committee on un-American activities said the justice department ought to take legal action against the former cabinet member under the 1799 Logan act which forbids a citizen to try to, "defeat the measures of the government of the United States" in a dispute between two countries. But Rep. Granger (D-Utah), characterizing Wallace as "a Christian gentleman," said he thinks Wallace had as much right to make the statements in England as if he had made them in the United States.

() --Five of the 21 coal mines on government's hazardous list in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have been certi- fi as safe by union mine committees and operating managers jut workers had returned to four of them today. Commander J. Stanley Stevenson, coal mines administrator the area, said workers in the ifth mine, which is in Arkansas, h-. changed their minds about returning to work after the mine lad been approved.

Federal inspection of the other mines has been delayed by he difficulty in getting rock dust, which is sprinkled over coal dust to lessen the danger- of explosion. Stevenson said workers insisted on the rock dust. Inspectors are scheduled to jegin inspection of mines around Henryetta, early next veek. Twenty four mines in the non- hazardous group now are being worked as well as 17 strip mines the four states. Stevenson said igures returned late last week howed that 69 per cent of the ,559 coal miners in the four tates were at work.

"Naturally, in a proposal of this kind neither side is completely pleased." Secretary Schwellenbach said he has lived "in mortal fear" during the first eight days of the walkout.

if the Bell System and its idle employes accept, the shutdown will end 48 hours later, ten and one-half days after it began. The plan calls for a five-man arbitration board to decide the tough money issues involved in the strike including the union's demand for a $12 a week -pay hike. The panel would have 90 days to reach a finding. For the two remaining days of the tie-up other issues would be the subject of intense negotiations, which presumably would be extended if 110 agreement were reached by Thursday. dolph County chairman of the observance.

Randolph County's health nurse -is Miss Mildred Oswalt, ex-navy flight nurse, who is- preparing a resume of a.typical week of her work in public health nursing. Randolph County, well-organized in health work, also: has a County Health Council, which serves in an advisory capacity to Miss Oswalt and also gives financial aid to indigent patients. One purpose of the national observance' of public health week is to bring attention to the need of obtaining many more health nurses if the ratio of one public health nurse for each 2,000. persons is to be reached; counties in the United States are entirely without public health nursing services; few counties are adequately staffed.

Saying the public had borne the brunt of the strike, the cabinet officer prefaced his outline of the terms with this declaration: "I have lived in mortal fear that as a result of this strike some child will be 'deprived of medical care; some woman will be prevented from going to the hospital; some aged mother or father will suffer after being stricken all because the telephone was not available.

Schwellenbach, his face flushed with emotion, commented: "In the public interest, this dispute must be speedily 1 Schwellenbach unexpectedly called Craig and the union's top committee to confer with him last night. Craig thus far has declined to bargain with the NFTW on the ten national demands, saying that negotiations must be conducted by the more than 20 operating companies throughout the nation." Seeks Compromise. The union, fighting for mere closely knit national organization, sought to bargain for all its affiliated groups for the ten big demands and rejected all proposals, for local arbitration of those demands. Schwellenbach sought to compromise that difference by setting up a single board of five persons, to be chosen by both parties, but authorizing the companies and unions involved to submit their cases on any basis acceptable to the board. Both parties would agree to abide by a majority decision of the board, and would share the costs.

Donnelly Asks Strong Law Against Strikes in Utilities (Continued from Page One) if they suspend their service without authority of the public service commission. "A work stoppage or strike in such a utility therefore has the effect of nullifying the statutes of Missouri," he said, "and-challenges the sovereignty of the.

state. If a utility company cannot disregard the public welfare, neither should its employes. The same yardstick of public service should apply to the employe as to the utiliity itself. "Agraiast State Itself." "A walkout of the nature of the telephone strike can be regarded, therefore, as a strike against the state itself. "Thus we have a minority group, acting under the orders and leadership of men who have had no responsibility conferred upon them by the people, making decisions an dictating policies which abrogate the laws and make a mockery of the legislative acts of the elected representatives of the people." Donnelly noted that two states had enacted "clear, vigorous and enforceable" laws to prevent utility stoppages and "there is no telephone strike today in those states." A third state, he added, had to amend its anti-strike law to make it "partially effective." "These actions in sister states may well be heeded in our efforts in Missouri to meet this urgent problem."
