Taft Lashes Out at Truman
For ‘Appeasing Communists'
Washington, Sept. 20 — ^—
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) today ac
cused the Truman administration
of “appeasing the Communists”
and of helping to build Russia’s
military might.
The Ohio lawmaker, chairman of
the senate requplican policy com
mittee, also suggested that ap
peasement of the Reds is the surest
way to bring about World War III.
“Communism.has always been a
threat to the American people,”
Taft reclared, “but the present
military strength of Russia is
largely the result of the foreign
policy of the Roosevelt and Tru
man administrations.”
He added that the two democrat
ic administrations followed a pol
icy at the Yalta and Potsdam con-

Both administrations, Taft de

Although facilities in the center
are only about two-thirds complete
and many of the activities are only
in the organizational stage, guides
will attempt to show the completed
set-up of the center.
Due to various unexpected set
backs, the Center will not be fully
furnished and equipped until the
first of the coming year. Much
of the delay is due to the present
international situation.
The building, however, will now
be in continuous operation. New
facilities will be utilized and new
furnishings installed as they be
come available.
Committees Formed
The organizational set-up of the
Center is already in the building
stage. A few groups such as the
Gallery Committee and the Bridge
Club have been functioning since
last year.
In the developing stage at pre
sent are the Music Committee,
Publicity Committee, House Com
mittee and Crafts Committee.
Other student-operated groups
will be added to the organizational
set-up as the demand for them
warrants.
The present and proposed groups
will offer students leisure recrea
tion and relaxation and provide
them with social and cultural
training.
A&M’s Living Room
The cultural and social aspects
of the building, bridging a long
standing gap in the A&M curric
ulum, have led to it’s nickname
“A&M’s Living Room.”
The recognized need for such
provisions at the college led to
groundwork being laid for the
present structure more than a de
cade ago. The Center reached the
paper-stage in the mid-forties and
became an actual construction un
dertaking two years ago today
when F. C. Bolton, president emer
itus of the College, first broke the
ground.
The Center is for the joint use
of the students, former students,
faculty and staff members of the
College and residents of the com
munity.

‘Hands off Berlin’
Big 3 Warns Reds
New York, Sept. 20—(A 5 )—The
big three foreign ministers today
warned Russia to keep hands off
Berlin and Western Germany, de
cided to end the state of war with
Germany, and authorized a fast-
moving West German police force
of 40,000 men.
The warning to the Soviet Un
ion—and the Communist was not
specifically written into a long
communique issued here at the
end of week-long talks by Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson,
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin and French Foreign Minis
ter Robert Schuman.
But the ministers renewed their
pledge to back up completely the
Bonn government and Berlin, and
there was no doubt among the dip
lomats here that that pledge was
meant to be heard in the Kremlin.
The big three announced the
following decisions:
• To consider any attack against
the Western German government or
Berlin from any quarter as an at
tack upon themselves. To do this,
they agreed to increase and rein
force their forces in Germany for
more effective protection.
• To terminate the state of war
with Germany as soon as possible.
This will be a complicated pro
cess, requiring for this country
the approval of the United States
Congress. It will not affect domes
tic United States legislation as long
as the state of war with Japan is
still effective.
• To increase the mobile police
forces in the western zones from
the 10,000 men now authorized to
40,000, equipped and trained to
take care of riots and internal dis
turbances. The guard may be equip
ped with armored reconnaisance
vehicles to permit fast movement.
An American official, Henry C.
Byroade, director of the Bureau of
German affairs of the U. S. State
Department, said: “This is not a
disguised move to meet the Bere-
itschaften (East German police
force).”
• To study further the question
of creating German military units
for use in a combined defense
force to protect European freedom.
French opposition to rearming Ger
many was a key factor in holding
off an agreement on this point at
this time, but the ministers said
they would continue conversations
from time to time on the subject.
• To give the firmest support
to efforts of the United Nations to
resist threats to the peace and
achieve peaceful settlements.
Immediately after publishing the
statement on their meetings the
foreign ministers adjourned for
lunch and for the first meeting of
the fifth general assembly of the
United Nations this afternoon.
