Wallace, private citizen, threw down the gauntlet to the Truman administration today for a continu- ing hattle over 1oreign policy. The ousted Secretary of Com- nerce told the Department’s em-; ployees in a farewell messagehe was resigning “in order that I may be free as a private citizen to continue, to fight for world peace.” And in a nationwide radio ad- dress last night he declared that “winning the peace is more import- | ant than high public office. It is| more important than any consider- ation of party politics.” He removed any doubt that he| would battle on for his “go-easy- with- Russia” him into conflict with the State Department and led President Tru- man to dismiss him from his offi- cial family. Issue Up To People “The success of any policy,” Wal-| lace said, “rests ultimately upon! the confidence and the will of the people. “There can be no basis for such success unless the people know and understand the issues—unless they are given all the facts—and unless they seize the opportunity to take part in the framing of foreign polfi icy through full and open debate.” G s 1 s Mereime GBrS BBk ing two major questions: What’s To Do | 1.—Would the President’s action ond the uncertainty over American nolicy caused by Wallace’s New York address 10 days ago, which| State | contradicted Secretary of Byrres' position at many points? | Seme said it would.

The Washington Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON—One of the hot- test reports in Washington is now almost burning up its filing cabinet in the Justice Department. All sorts of pressure is being brought to make gire it never sees the light of day. It is a report on certain high- placed Americans who cooperated | with the Nazis before Pearl Har- por. It was prepared by the Jus-| tice Department’s crack prosecutor, John Rogge. on the basis of inter- views with Hermann Goering and, other German prisoners. However, it steps on some Very powerful toes, including those of United Mine Workers chief John L. Lewis, so the bets are it willl never be published. Also mentioned as unwitting tools of the Nazi stooges are Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri (now judge), ex-Sen- ator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, ex-Senator Bob Reynolds of North Carolina (now married to the Mc- Lean Hope Diamond millions), the late Senator Lundeen of Minnesota, Senator Wheeler of Montana, ex- Congressman Martin Sweeney of Ohio. and ex-Congressman Stephen Day of Illinois. 1t is significant that all the above are now out of Congress—repu- diated at the polls.

E. Engstrom and troll-| Lindstrom, Iver Skat- tem and Carl Jensen all argued that * if the fall closure is designed to! protect late cohoes, it is not needed. Fishing is good at this time of the year for kings, they said, and it is easy to avoid taking cohoes while fishing for kings, as the latter are caught at lower depths. Engstrom promised cooperation of buyers in refusing to purchase co- hoes if the trollers could be per- mitted to fish kings during the period now closed between the end of the summer season and the open- ing of the fall. He also held that the present fall opening is too late to fish chums. The season for them should be while they are run- Ining, from October 1 to 15. Taking of cohoes should be prohibited af- ter September «20, he said.

Government should only enter labor disputes when publlck health, safety and welfare are con- cerned. Labor has right to strike “as a last resort.” e TANGIER IS THIRSTY TANGIER—AIl water mains have been ordered shut off daily in this sun-haked international port iromi noon until 8 p.m. Water consump- tion has been averaging 4,420 cubic yards a day, against a reservoir supply of 3,900 cubic yards. J {his own and Wild-| life Service, asked Engstrom if the | kings would not still be around to be caught the next sprng? The answer to that was no. The trollers also said kings were plentiful this year, which they laid to the comeback of the herring. |Engstrom was in agreement with the expressed F&WL position of not changing herring regulations in | Scutheast Alaska. Skattem and Chris Hennings, representatives of the trollers union, {Lrought up the question of halibut caught incidental to trolling for !salmon and asked that trollers be |treated the same as black cod fish- ermen and be permitted to sell |such halibut in proportion te their salmon catch—instead of cutting the halibut off to waste as now. Though halibut is outside the province of the Fish and Wwildlife Service, Thompson said he would pass the testimony along to the International Fisheries Commission, which sets halibut regulations. Other testimony during the ater- | noon session consisted mainly of | questioning of morning witness | Frank D. Price, Sitka fisherman, by | William L.
