SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition VOL. LXXIIIL, NO. 11,196 Order Agamst POLICE FORCE IS PROPOSED, NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY WASHINGTON, May 4—A—A group of Senators are- giving serious thought to an international police force for the North Atlantic Alli- ance. Senators Mundt (R-SD) and Hendrickson (R-NJ) said they are among several lawmakers who look favorably on such a plan to enforce peace. Mundt said he will back a move for an international police force, to inclufe Spain, Turkey, China, Argentina, and ‘“all other non- Communist countries of the world.” Hendrickson said he is “sympa- thetic to the objectives,” but has not yet become an active supporter of the plan. He added that he'd like to see it done under the United Nations. The Senators gave their views to reporters in separate interviews. Bridge expert Ely Culbertson has irterested a group of Senators in bis idea for setting up a “con- tingent force” among the 12 pact nations. This volunteer army would be made up of exiles and citizens of countries not large enough to have ther own armies.

The Washingion Merry - Go-Round By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1949, by Bell Syndicate. Inc.) ASHINGTON— Tammany poli- ticos who have kibitzed the Man- hattan rallies of Franklin D. Roose- velt, Jr. are definitely worried. They:have been forced tp admit the kid has inherited the Old Man's charm. In fact, they are beginning to wonder if he may mnot run off with the election to the late Con- gressman Sol Bloom’s seat when the votes are acounted next Tues- day. Here is the sort of thing that| happens when “Junicr”—as Tam- many calls him—stumps Manhat- tan’s’ mid-town Twentieth District: A lady with a baby, after Frank- lin passed, &ried in ecstacy to the child, “He saw you; he spoke to you! My child, he spoke te you!” A ‘crowd of a thousand Negroes and Puerto Ricans, on Columbus (COllllllqu on PIKO Four) | | | | | Big Defici Estimaled, Tax Experts WASHINGTON, May 14—(P— Congressional tax' experts estimated today the government will go into the red about $3,000,000,000 in the fiscal year starting July 1. This estimate is sharply higher than President Truman's own bud- get estimates of a $900,000,000 defi- cit. However, there had been earlier reports the Congressional experts might estimate the deficit for the next fiscal year as high as $5,000,~ 000,000. ‘The staff of the joint Senate- House Tax Committee said it based its three billion deficit estimate on a belief that tax revenues, due to reduced business activity, wil be around $2,100,000,000 less than President Truman has anticipated. The staff reported calculated in rcund figures government will take in $38,900,000,000 and spend $41,- 500,000,000, leaving a deficit ot around $3,000,000,000. The report said that for the same pericd under President Truman's budget estimates the treasury will take in $41,000,000,000 that expense: will run to $41,900,000,000 and defi- cit will be $900,000,000. Since that time, however, addi- tional budget reguests have been sent to Congress which would in- ease the spending total. And some money bills—notably the $16,- 000,000,000 military appropriations njeasure passed by the House— seem likely to increase it even more. . PATROLMAR REPORTS ALASKA HIGHWAY IN T0P RATE CONDITION In a long distance telephone con- versation with Frank A. Metcalf, Highway Patrol Chief, Al Lubcke, patrolman stationed at Haines, to- day reported a fine trip over the Alaska Highway. He drove a new patrol car from Seattle, leaving it at Whitehorse, as the Haines cutoff is not yet open. Lubcke reports the highway in per- fect condition, and more progress on the cutoff than 'had been ex- pected. Only a 20-mile stretch re- mains to be cleared. Those who use the highway regu- | larly will be glad to learn that the bridge over the Big Smoky is sched- uled for completion by August 1. The Alaska Road Commission office says the trusses are up now. It will be necessary to continue to ferry the river until the bridge is in. FREIGHTER TONGASS IS SOLD FOR SCRAP SEATTLE, May 14—®— The stubhy, little freighter Tongass, one of the best known ships in Seattle- Alaska trade, has been sold for scrap, Alaska Transportation Com- pany disclosed today.

CITY GOES 702 DAYS NO TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ABILENE, Tex., May 14. — (® — Meet the new champion—Abilene last night passed its 702nd day with- out a city traffic death. No other city can make that claim.

Citizens ignored the possibility that Friday the 13th might spoil the ctiy’s chance of breaking the record, They started celebrating with a parade during the afternoon and wound up with a program in Blue Sox Stadium last night, Coast Strike Threat SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.—P— The Pacific American Shipowners Association here has minimized a #eport that the CIO Marine =ngi- neers will tie up all Pacific Coast ships with a strike June 15 unless union demands are met. A spokesman for the shipowners says the association has notified the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service that a dispute exists. “But,” said the spokesman, “this action was taken purely as a requirement of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 and not because of any new development in negotiations.” The shipowners emphasized that the notice has no bearing on the possibility of strike action by the union. They added that deadlocked negotiations may be resumed before the contract expires June 15. In Seattle, Acting Business Agent Ed Altman said special strike stra- tegy meetings have been called by the marine engineers in all West Coast ports. Altman said the walkout will be staged unless union security is pro- vided in a new contract. He said this means that all licensed en- gineers on Pacific American Ship- owners vessels must belong to the union. | Workers Drawing Jobless Insurance Are Falling OH s L5e WASHINGTON, May 14— ®— The number of workers drawing jobless insurance pay fell off 57,000 last week, the first drop in a rontk.

Before last weeks' drop in jobless payments, the agency noted that lor three weeks there had been a| steady increase., Despite the de- cline, May 7 tctal still was 775,000 higher than in the same period last year. \CAIN DEMANDS DEPORTATION OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN WASHINGTON, 14— 3enator Cain (R-‘Vasm has de- manded that screen actor Charlie Chaplin bs deperted, and he accus- ed him of coming “periously close 0 treason” against the United States. In a statement submitted to a Senate Judiciary Committee, Cain said the incident was a year ago when deportation proceedings were brought against Hans Eisler. Cain said Chaplin sent Pablo Picasso of France a “treasonable” message as follows: “Can you head committee of French artists to protest to the American Embassy in Paris the out- rageoys deportation proceedings against Hans Eisler here, and sim- ultaneously send me a copy of pro- test for use here. Greetings!” Cain called Picasso a “self-admit- ted French Communist.” Hans Eis- ler is a brother of Gerhart Eisler, who has fled from the United States as a stowaway on a Polish ship. The ship is due at South- ampton, England today, and the Jusice Department is arranging to have Gerhart returned here, KILLS WIFE, SUICIDES KODIAK, Alaska, May 14—®— Sgt.
