Washington, Jan. 10 Secretary of State Acheson said toda that he would be glad to talk with Senator Taft, or any other member of what he called the minority party, on foreign policy matters. Acheson also said at news conference that he thought failure of the United Nations to solve the problem of the Korean crisis would naturally diminish its prestige and power.

i But he characterized as an overstatement a suggestion that a United Nations failure to take strong action now would wreck the organization. Taft, Senate GOP policy chairman, has been carrying on a continuous criticism of the Administration's foreign policy. New Note To Moscow Most of the questioning at Ache-son's brief news conference concerned Taft and his views. On. another subject, however, Acheson said the United States is consulting with Britain and France on a new note to Russia about a Big Four meeting of foreign ministers.

He said no differences of views have developed among the three Western powers and that a note will go to Moscow very soon. Taft said in a speech at the National Press Club yesterday that he was ready to sit down with President Truman or "anybody else on the majority side" and work out a Continued On Page 3, Column 3 Inaugural McKeldins, more from Baltimore to Annapolis.

former Re publican Mayor of Baltimore and once th "boy orator" from the South Side, today was inaugurated Governor of Maryland in a color ful, stately ceremony at the State Capital. Chief Judge Ogle Marbury, of the Court of Appeals, administered the inaugural oath to the new Governor at P.M. in the Senate Chamber of the State House. An estimated 1.000 onlookers packed into the small galleries and twarming about the main corridor heard Mr. McKeldin repeat the words after Judge Marbury: will to the best of my skill and judgment, diligently and lanniuny, witnout partiality or prejudice, execute the office of Governor.

10 (T) The Defense Department called today for the immediate start in drafting of 450.000 18-year-olds to build up the armed forces. Secretary of Defense Marshall and Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, assistant Secretary, outlined the proposal to a Senate Armed Services subcommittee in urging immediate enactment of a universal military service and training program making all physically fit 18-year-olds liable for 27 months service. Mrrs.

Rosenberg said that unless the armed services can call on the 18-year-olds they will have to ask Congress to let them draft young married men. Would Affect Fathers She said in that case, fathers, as well as husbands without children. might have to be called from the present 19-26-age brackets. They are now exempt. The proposal from the defense officials lined up in this manner: 1.

Enact long-term legislation aimed at requiring training and service of all physically and mentally fit young men beginning at age 18. 2. Unt il that program can be handled, take the 18-year-olds who are now nearest their nineteenth birthday. Mrs. Rosenberg estimated that 450,000 18-year-olds could be called in the first year under "present ceilings on the size of the armed forces.

Million-Man Pool She also estimated 1,050,000 young men would reach the age of 18 in the twelve months ending next July 1, and said it might be possible" to grant one-yerr defer ments? to those who have not at tained the age of 18 years and four five months at the time the pro posal became law. Asked if the program had the complete approval" of President Truman, Mrs. Rosenberg said it did. Marshall told the senators a sys tem of "universal military service and training represents what I be lieve Is the best way to meet our immediate need for enlarged combat forces and at the same time to provide an enduring base for our military strength. Marshall spoke generally In sup port of the plan and left it to Mrs.

Rosenberg to fill in the details. $30 A Month Mrs. Rosenberg said the program would call for 27 months of service and training, the service to be on the same basis "as any other member of the armed forces." She said it would work out this way: The 18-year-olds would get four to six months of training, drawing $30 a month for that period, after which they would go into service at the same pay as other members of the forces. Still under consideration. Mrs.

Rosenberg said, is how to make use of men who cannot pass minimum physical, mental or moral requirements. "No specific plans have yet been made for this group," she said, "but the President may announce measures for bringing young men in this class into the program. Europe.

Even if they are on the winning side they know they will be too prostrate to enjoy it They still believe in freedom and wish with all their hearts they can keep it but have difficulty convincing themselves they can do it. They want to stop the Russians but without "morale" the dangers From a Staff Correspondent Annapolis, Jan. 10 Governor McKeldin in his inaugural speech here today made a plea for immedi ate action on a civilian defense pro gram and for rigid economy in the State government to meet the exigency of national defense. "Overshadowing in its urgency all other concerns is that of civilian defense," the new Republican Gov ernor declared.

He said he hoped to present "as promptly as possible" a program of civilian defense "comprehensive, yet feasible, to meet the needs, of the hour." Need For Economy New Federal taxes to carry on the burden of national defense and possibly a new world conflict make it 'imperative for the State to adopt a policy of rigid economy. the Governor said, in an address delivered from the east portico of tne btate House. To this course, I alreadv am nrmiy pledged. "But he pointed out that economv noes not mean "indiscriminate and arbitrary cuts" and said the State must learn to distinguish betwpenl the essential and the nonessential. Among his proposals were: 1.

A reoganization of the State government to eliminate overlapping and duplication of functions. 2. A State constitutional convention to achieve this reorganization. 3. improvements to the StateV hospital system.

4. A continuation of the improvement of public schools "within the ability of our people to pay." 5. Advancement of the University of Maryland, Morgan State College and State teachers' colleges, but no further expansion of Princess Anne College. 6. A review, and probably a revision, of the road building program.

"Recently enacted Federal taxes are but the forerunner of crtatr and heavier burdens yet to be im- posea, trie Governor declared. The Federal Government mav in. vade areas of taxation from which the states heretofore have derived their principal revenues. Problem Of Inflation "The fiscal problem of the State is further aggravated by the fact that the purchasing power of the State's income dollar has been reduced by the unchecked inflationary spiral. Precisely like the individual, the State is the victim of this devaluating process," tor these reasons, he said, "it is particularly imperative for the State to adopt a policy of rigid economy." The Governor said he would name a commission, giving effect to a mandate of the 1947 Legislature, to begin immediate studies looking to a "reorganization of the State government and its departments" by 1952.

Convention Issue His remarks on the controversial constitutional convention question were: "Many desirable changes in the structure of the State government which this commission may recom mend can be accomplished merely by statute. Others may well await revision of the State constitution by the convention which the people have overwhelmingly approved and which has my hearty indorsement." with the materials and man power available, he said his policy will be to "proceed with the neces- Continued On Page 3, Column '2 Sunpapers Business Offices The Sunpapers are now maintaining business offices in the old building.

Jan. 10 ftfVrSecre tary of the Treasury Snyder said today President Truman will call on Congress this week to raise taxes enough to balance the budget Snyder refused to give any figure whatsoever on how much taxes that would involve or how much the budget will be for the fiscal year beginning next July 1. One Democratic congressional leader said he understands the budget will be in the neighborhood of $70,000,000,000 and that Mr. Truman will ask for about 000.000 in new taxes. That would be a jump of nearly 30 per cent.

The anthor of "Main Street," who wrote "Babbitt" into the English language and ran up a total of 21 bookSi succumbed 65 after an attack of bronchial pneumonia. The red-haired novelist had been a patient at Villa Electra Clinic since December 31.

Hospital attendants said he suffered also from in flammation of the heart. He would have been 66 February 7. Lewis's main novels were biting in portraying the United States of the '20's and '30s. He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel prize. He accepted the award in 1930 for "Babbitt," written in 1922.

The native son of Sauk Center, had many best sellers to his credit. Controversy Raged "Babbitt," the story of George F. Babbitt, a real-estate man in fictional Zenith, became a word in the' dictionary to describe in a derogatory sense a person who "under business and social pressure conforms to the respectable materialism of his class.i Controversy raged over whether Lewis's picture was of a typical small American city and Babbitt a typical American business man. "Main Street." written in 1920, also purported to be a description of a typical American small town, Gopher Prairie. Lewis also produced "Arrowsmith," "Elmer Gantry," "Dodsworth," "It Can't Happen Here" and "Kingsblood Royal." His twenty-first book, "The God Seeker," was published in 1949.

For "Pay-As-You-Go" Policy The Treasury chief told reporters the President will lay down a full "pay-as-you-go" policy in his economic report Friday and his budget message next Monday. This, Snyder said, will be followed by specific tax-boosting recommendations in a special message before February 1.

The President's recommendations will deal with fiscal 1952. beginning July 1. which will be the first year in which the speeded up rearmament program will show real impact on the budget. Backs Program To Hilt Snyder emphasized he is in full accord with the pay-as-you-go plan and will back the President's tax-boosting program to the hilt. The Secretary was questioned about his recent remarks to the Army War College about the impossibility of paying for a "full-scale war effort" out of tax revenues without serious damage to the economy.

He said that applied to condition of all-out war not the present defense program. Every Field Explored Snyder said "exploratory" talks he had with heads of congressional tax committees breught in "discussion of every source of revenue we could think of," He added there were "no conclusions as to specific types of taxes or as to totals." There has been talk in congressional circles of a general Federal sales tax."

The Great Debate Europe's By J. W. Gallagher New York, Jan.

Eisenhower must try to install the "will to fight." Without it the United States can pour arms Into Europe from now until doomsday without the slightest result. This colors the way Europeans look on the East-West conflict and the way Americans look at it. Poke Jibes At Stalin Europeans are no less conscious than Americans of the menace of Soviet aggression. The vast majority of French, Germans, British, Italians and other Europeans have no more liking than Americans for communism. They dislike the Kremlin rulers, First Need: Morale, Not Arms One of the factors in the 'defense of Western Europe against communism is the morale of the people.

It is, an element that plays an important part in the great debate on national policy. The Evening Sun, therefore, presents this factual material and responsible opinion of J. W. Gallagher, of the Associated Press executive staff. Mr.
