Truman Says He Is Urging Democrats to Back Fair Deal KEY WEST, Fl. (P) — President Truman declared today he is drafting a "state of the union" message committing the Democratic party to campaign in 1922 under his "fair deal" banner. But, under a bombardment of questions from reporters at a winter White House news conference he refused to comment on whether he intends to support General Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Democratic presidential nomination or whether he will seek it himself. Left Politics Out He said that at no time did he discuss politics with General Eisenhower in their recent conferences on the Western European defense program in Washington. He said he had made that clear as had the general and that both have the reputation of telling the truth. "Do you have any intention of supporting General Eisenhower for the Democratic nomination?" he was asked. Evenly, the president replied: no comment. Backs Fair Deal Asked whether he will urge enactment of his "fair deal" program in the "state of the union" message he will send to Congress in January, he said of course, and he added it will be a part of the Democratic platform. Tiny Wasp Gives Hope of Saving Infested Elms RIVERSIDE (P)—A little wasp, buzzing around a couple of Elm trees, gave scientists promise today of controlling the damaging European Elm scale. Dr. S. E. Flanders of the division of biological control at the University of California's agricultural experiment station here made the announcement. It will be welcomed by Elm growers, plagued for 50 years by one scale, which unless controlled by costly spraying creates unsightly trees and lays them open to black fungus. Dr. Flanders said the wasp, coccophagus insidiator, has been controlling the scale on elms in Europe for years. A colony was first imported in 1908, several others have been brought here since. Dr. Flanders thinks the trouble with the early imports was that all were females. At any rate, they didn't reproduce. Three years ago, he received a shipment with males included. They were put on two infested trees in nearby Redlands. No re- Lack of Courage Cause of Trouble Says Baruch STAMFORD, Conn. (P)—"In competence, procrastination and the lack of courage on the part of our present government is the cause of our troubled condition today," said Bernard M. Baruch. The statement came in response to a question during a "part bench chat" with ex-servicemen and their wives here last night. Throughout more than an hour of questioning, the elder statesman stressed what he termed the lack of courage and competence of the present administration to solve the many problems placed before it. "Do you have a specific cure for this?" Baruch was asked. "Remember on election day," he answered. "Do you think Gen. Eisenhower would provide the dynamic leadership we so definitely need to day?" Baruch arose from a park bench on which he had been sitting, and settling: "I'll rise to that one. I have yet in my life to make a political statement and I don't want to make one now. I have the highest opinion of Gen. Eisenhower as a soldier, as a citizen, as a great civilian, a great educator and a statesman as well as a man devoted to the highest ideals of his country. I can't say more than that and I won't say less." Asked his opinion about the use of the atomic bomb in the Korean War. California Pair In Line for Nobel Prize STOCKHOLM, Sweden (UP) — Two of America's leading atomic scientists, Dr. Glenn T. Beaborg and Dr. Edwin M. McMillan, both of the University of California at Berkeley, are expected to be named tonight as winners of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Royal Swedish Academy of Science meets later today to vote the awards, but all indications here pointed to the naming of the California pair. If chosen, they will divide a prize of 167,612 Swedish crowns (about $32,357), from a trust fund established by the inventor of dynamite, the late Alfred Nobel. Seaborg is the discoverer of five elements of matter, including plutonium, the substance which made the atomic bomb cheaper. McMillan, through the earlier discovery of the element neptunium, paved the way for Seaborg's finding of plutonium. Exercises Start For Marines From El Toro CAMP PENDLETON (UP) — Approximately 2000 Marine Corps aviation personnel begin two weeks of amphibious exercises here today. Scores of jet planes and other aircraft will also participate. Pentagon Annoyed By Talk of Arms Lagging to Europe WASHINGTON (UP) — The Pentagon, annoyed by talk that arms aid to the western European nations is lagging, gave out some item-by-item figures to show what has been done. Whether by coincidence or otherwise, a news conference by Gen. George L. Olmstead, director of military assistance, yesterday followed a series of recent developments, including: 1. Press dispatches from Paris saying the French are concerned over slow delivery of arms aid. 2. The recent visit of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of Western European forces, to discuss with Washington officials an increased tempo in equipping his forces. 3. A Paris meeting of Secretary of State Acheson, Secretary of Defense Lovett and W. Averell Harriman, director of the mutual security agency to discuss the arms aid program. Even while the United States was wrestling with the problem of keeping up its current European commitments and looking into Ensenhower's plea for faster deliveries of arms, new although not unforeseen problems cropped up in another quarter. The U.S. and Yugoslavia signed an agreement providing terms upon which American military aid will go to the Balkan nation which broke in my life to make a political statement and I don't want to make one now. I have the highest opinion of Gen. Eisenhower as a soldier, as a citizen, as a great civilian, a great educator and a statesman as well as a man devoted to the highest ideals of the country. I can't say more than that and I won't say less." Asked his opinion about the use of the atomic bomb in the Korean conflict Baruch said: "I believe they have perfected an atomic weapon which can no longer wipe out armies rather than destroy cities. I say that the longer we delay action of a definite and decisive nature, the worse off we are going to be." New Device on Cars Will Be Disclosed Soon DETROIT (UP) — Another significant mechanical advance will be disclosed in some of the forthcoming new model passenger automobiles. Power steering and power braking for passenger automobiles were introduced in some 1951 model cars. They will appear in others to be brought out in the next couple of months. The newest advance has to do with the handling of automatic power transmission. Specific details are being withheld pending formal introduction of new car equipped with it. It can be said however, that the device is designed to provide maximum performance in highway cruising or traffic, acceleration and mountain driving. This is a dual range performance long sought by automotive engineers. The devise is not an overdrive, but is built into the automatic transmission. One engineer has described solution to the problem of providing for two distinct sets of driving conditions with maximum performance each as "so simple even the layman will wonder why it was not done before." Exercises Start For Marines From El Toro CAMP PENDLETON (UP)—Approximately 2000 Marine Corps aviation personnel begin two weeks of amphibious exercises here today. Scores of jet planes and other aircraft will also participate. The training objectives will be to teach aviation personnel the latest techniques in landing on newly-seized beachheads, and getting equipment ashore, and starting land-based air operations. Maj. Gen. William J. Wallace, commanding general of the fleet Marine force aircraft, will direct the exercises. A majority of the personnel will be flown from El Toro Marine Air Station near Santa Ana. Other units from Camp Pendleton also will participate. Senator Calls for Look-See in Office WASHINGTON (UP) — Senator Wiley (R-Wis) has called for "a thorough look-see" into the affairs of the alien property custodian's office. He's received many complaints that it is a multi-million dollar "super-gravy train," he said in a statement yesterday. The office is the federal agency, under the Department of Justice, which seizes and disposes of property of enemy aliens. During and since World War II, it has handled more than $300,000,000 worth of assets in this country formerly owned by Germans, Japanese and nationals of other war-time enemy nations. Rent Ceilings Imposed Today WASHINGTON (UP) — Rent ceilings limited to rentals in effect last May 1 were imposed today in the Barstow, Calif., area. The new ceilings, affecting virtually all types of rental housing accommodations, apply throughout the township of Barstow in San Bernardino county, rent stabilizer Tighe E. Woods announced. Rents have risen in the area, Woods said, and "were a grievous hardship to Marines at the Barstow Marine base and the Army personnel stationed at Camp Irwin." Credit controls have been relaxed in the area to encourage new building, he noted. Even while the United States was wrestling with the problem of keeping up its current European commitments and looking into Ensenhower's plea for faster deliveries of arms, new although not unforeseen problems cropped up in another quarter. The U.S. and Yugoslavia signed an agreement providing terms upon which American military aid will go to the Balkan nation which broke from Russia's family of satellites. Some small arms, artillery and vehicles have been delivered to Yugoslavia as the result of negotiations which started last June. But now, because Yugoslavia becomes fully eligible to a share of the $7,328,000,000 foreign aid program, the problem becomes more complex. Moreover, some of Yugoslavia's critical needs are in the very items where American supply sources are hardest pressed. Opera, Ballet Co. Exempt from Tax WASHINGTON (UP)—Any doubt about the right to opera and ballet companies and symphony orchestras to retain a recent 10 per cent tax cut on admission rather than pass it on to ticket buyers was dispelled yesterday. Director Michael V. DiSalle of the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) ruled that they are theatrical enterprises exempt from OPS controls. The new tax law which took effect Nov. 1 repealed the 20 percent admissions tax for opera ballets and orchestras. Most of them have not passed the tax elimination on to ticket buyers but have kept their prices stable. This had led to some speculation that by doing so they might be violating government price regulations. DiSalle's decision announced in a formal statement resolved the speculation in their favor. 17-Year-Old Girl High-Wire Artist Falls to Death BALTIMORE (JP) — The smiles on the faces of the clowns weren't so bright last night—but the show went on. It went on without pretty 17-year-old kry Troisi, the high wire queen of 'The Great Arturos." She dropped to her death during the afternoon performance of the Shrine circus before 7500 persons while performing a Spanish dance with a balance pole on a high wire 60 feet above the floor of the Fifth Regiment armory. Her father, Arturo—"The Great Arturo" of Ringling Bros. fame—was on the high platform, level with her when she dropped. He quickly slid down a rope and was one of the first to reach her. "I can't breathe, daddy, she kept moaning. 'Help me. It hurts." Her crushed body was hurried to the nearby Maryland General hospital where she died a half-hour later; Arturo collapsed when he received the word. But he shrugged off pleas of his friends to stay in the hospital and called his wife at Tampa, Fla. Evy was to have returned to Tampa to reenter school this week end. She started working on the high wire when she was 10 and joined her father and her cousin Eric three years ago. Sam Polack, circus manager, said the family originally came from Vienna and were from a performing family that had toured Europe for several generations. WANTS ORPHANS—J.
