AwditAction By President On Labor Bill WASHINGTON June 19-(AP) -President Truman, confronted by sharply conflicting views within his own party, set today aside for his fateful decision on the Taft-Hartley labor bill. While the majority of his advisers "guess" he will veto the measure tomorrow, some of his closest associates insisted they have no definite knowledge of what his action will be. One of these, a daily confidant of the President, said privately that virtually all government officials concerned with labor matters are of the opinion that Mr. Truman should try to kill the bill.

However, a survey of Democratic party leadership across the country conducted by the Democratic national committee showed a 103 to 66 devislon in favor of a veto, plus four recommendations that the measure bs allowed to become law without signature. Claim Russia Tried To Do Allies Dirt NEW YORK, June 19-(AP)-An article in Liberty magazine, titled "A Secret Russian Mission That Almost Changed History," says that Russia suggested a separate peace to Ger many in January 1943, at a time when 1 the Germans had been thrown back at Stalingrad and Rommel had suffered setbacks in North Africa. Appearing today in the July 5 issue of the magaine, the article was written by Dr. Paul Schwarz, member of the German foreign service for 20 years before the Nazis came to power, who became an American citizen and served in the O. S.

S. during the war, and Guy Richards, Washington report er. The article said that under the Russian proposal, Germany was to give the Soviets a free hand behind a line roughly from Riga, on the Baltic, to the Dardanelles and aid Russia if she attacked Turkey, and Russia, was to start immediately "to supply quantities of raw materials, including oil and manganese, to help sustain the German war effort elsewhere." The negotiations were ended by Russia, the article said, in the belief Germany had let word of them spread so far there was danger the offer might come to the attention of Russia's allies, then planning the invasion of France.

Motion to set up the six-man temporary 'committes was made, Governor Hears Statements On Anti-Red Measure LANSING, June 19-(AP)-Governor Sigler says he still is undecided whether to sign or veto the Callahan bill regulating organizations influenced by foreign governments. At a two-and-a-half hour public hearing yesterday, Sigler got both barrels from those favoring and opposing the measure.

The only proponent of the measure, John T. Pace, representing the Detroit American Legion post, declared "signing this bill will blaze the way for a national movement to stamp out the Communist party." Pace, who said he formerly was a Communist, asserted the state needed strong -weaponstooombat-Com munist intrigue and undercover ac tivity and that the Callahan bill provided that weapon, he asserted it was no danger to "legitimate" organizations. Alan Brown, executive secretary of the Detroit chapter of the National Lawyers' guild and a member of an opposing delegation led by Henry P. Sweeney, former Detroit judge and city councilman, declared: "Those who support the Callahan bill say its purpose is to expose the Communist menace. But, as is comonly true of 'hate' legislation directed at a particular minority group without specific designation of the group, the language of the bill is such that its provisions can be used to destroy any group with which the enforcement officials disagree.
