Visitors Silenced
By White House
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—(W)--The White House cracked down
on free -talking visitors today as new confusion errupted over what
President Truman ,is or isn't saying about seeking re-election.
Press Secretary Joseph Short declared two callers had quoted
the President without authority. They were:
1. Benjamin Browdy, head of the Zionist Organization
America, who said Truman told
him today he will make up his
mind' "within the next 10 to 15
days" whether to run aga i n.
Browdy expressed belief the de
cision;would be to run.
Visitors Confuse Remarks
2. Rep. Adolph J. Sabath (D-
Ill.), who quoted the President as
saying yesterday 'he Would be
willing to run if necessary to help
along the cause of world peace.
Short told newsmen with a hint
of tartness, "Many people go in
to see the - President and some
of them come out and do a lot
of talking. I'M sure some people
in their enthusiasm confuse their
remarks with those of the Presi
deut."
Anderson Visits President
Browdy's remarks were in ap:-
parent conflict with those of an
other of today's White House visi
tors, Abraham Feinberg, Ne w
York businessman: He quoted the
Pregident as
_saying he did not
plan to make his decision for
"some time to come."
Still another visitor to the
President today was Senator An
derson (D-N.M.), who reiterated
that he believes Truman will be
drafted by the Democrats.
Panel Gives OK
To New Money ,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13—(.JP)
—A special panel chosen by Pres
ident Truman today tested gen
erous helpings • from some 32,000
shiny coins, then assured the
country that. Uncle Sam's silver
money is perfectly okay.
The jury, is known formally as
the Assay commission and for its
origin one must go back to 1792,
when the mint itself came into
being. It was Alexander Hamilton
who suggested such a commis
sion.
Every year since, a commission
has met, its job to •test new coins
picked at random from the na
tion's thr e e coinage mints, in
Philadelphia, San' Francisco and
Denver, during. the preceding
year. The idea is to make sure the
coins measure up to all: legal re
quirements such, as weight and
composition.
In all that time none has
. been
found wanting. An d when the
jury completes its work tomorrow
it is accepted as a certainty that
no flaws will be found this year.

On Rampage

The flu bug has gone on a ram
page in Pennsylvania this month

do to escape his bite even if you
become a hermit.

upper respiratory infections in
the commonwealth during =the .
last two or three weeks," said Dr.
J. Moore Campbell, - director of
the Bureau of Health Conserva

attacks "which may give you a
temperature and discomfort for
several days but have little ser
imis after effects."

Representatives of the Ameri
can -Veterans Committee. AM
VETS, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars,' Disabled American Veter
ans, and Jewish War Veterans• all
spoke for UMT before the Senate
armed services committee.
Reacting sharply to a barrage
of opposition to the program yes
terday from church organization
witnesses, the veterans' spokes
men were unanimous in-their de
nials that the proposal carries
any threat of military domination
over - the minds of the nation's
youth.
They hit back too at the reli
gious leaders' suggestions that
military lif e for inexperienced
youths would end to corrupt or
degrade them.

Russia Due to Return
Manchuria to China
HONG KONG, Thursday, Feb. I.4—(P)—This is the year Russia
is supposed to get out 'of Manchuria, rendering unto Red China the
things that are China's.
•
Manchuria is the rich and vast land beyond the great wall in
northeast China. It was fought over by the Russians, Chinese and
Japanese for more than half a century,
Turning full control back to the China Reds will be a gruelling
test of friendship for Moscow, but I
most observers here expect Rus
sia to get out, or at least go
through the motions.
Withdrawal Cardinal Point
Yet today, on this second an
niversary of the signing -of the
so-called Chinese-Russian friend
ship treaty, there is •no mention
of Manchuria in all the oceans of
propaganda billowing and tossing
out of Peiping.
This could be significant. The
Russian withdrawal from Man
churia was one of the cardinal
points of that treaty.
Red leader Mao Tze-Tung an
nounced his policy of "leaning to
one side"—toward Russia. But he
wanted Manchuria for industrial
development with no strings at
tached.
To Aid One Another
So two years ago today, Russia
and the Chinese Reds signed a
cluster of agreements now usual
ly given the catch-all name of the
Sino-Soviet friendship treaty.
One major agreement was that
Russia and China would come to
each other's aid if either was at
tacked by Japan or any state
allied with , Japan. This is being
trumpeted in the current anni
versary broadcasts out of Peiping.
Russian Massacre
Reports Are Found
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—(?P)—
One of the two long-missing offi
cial reports accusing the Russians
of the World War II massacre of
11,000 Polish officers in Katyn
forest has been found, the Army
said today.
Congressmen investigating the
mass crime, which the Kremlin
ha s insistently charged to the
Germans, immediately announced
that the documents will be the
basis of new hearings probably
next month.
The writer, who will be a wit
ness then, is Col. Henry I. Szy
manski, American liaison officer
with the Polish army in Italy at
the time of the wholesale mur
der. He already has reconstructed
the report from his personal rec
ords and furnished it to the Con
gressmen. His material came from
Polish officers •in Italy.

Nehru Wins
Parliament
District Seat
NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 13—
(fP) India's loquacious Prime
Minister Nehru defeated a silent
Hindu holy man today to win
a seat in the National Parliament
from his home district.
Nehru polled 233,571 votes to
56,718 for his nearest rival—Saf
fron-robed Prabhu Du t t Brah
machari, who .w aged a strong
campaign despite his vow to re
main forever silent. Three other
opposition candidates won a total
of 7,139 votes.
Takes Silence Oath
Nehru's Congress party holds a
strong lead in the national elec
tions, which began in October
and are still continuing, district
by district. Members of the gov
ernment are chosen from Parlia
ment.
Brahmachari took the silence
oath as a means of self-purifica
tion. He based his campaign on
opposition to the Nehru govern
ment's bill which would give
Hindu women the right to seek
divorce and other privileges the
western world has long taken for
granted..
Nehru Campaigns Vigorously
Brahmachari's election appeals
were unique even in mystic In
dia. , His followers we n t from
house to house begging—not for
food but for votes. He presided
over mass meetings, silently ac
knowledging the applause, while
his lieutenants spoke for him.
Support for the silent holy man
became so str o n g that Nehru
abandoned earlier plans not to
visit his home constituency.
