Arm US Now Says Wallace
New York (U.P.)—Henry A. Wallace believes the United States must arm "as fast as possible" until Russia and Communist China prove they really want peace.
The former vice president last night in a speech at the Community church that the Communist invasions of South Korea and Tibet made it "clear to me that Russia is eager to use other people to heat up the cold war."
"A strong China might be a real threat to Soviet Asia," Mr. Wallace said. Is it possible that Russia has never really wanted Communist China seated in the U.N.?"
Mr. Wallace, who resigned as head of the progressive party when it refused to condemn the Communist invasion of South Korea, said he no longer advocated the admission of the new China" to the United Nations.
Red Chinese premier Mao Tze-Tung, probably never will declare complete independence of Moscow in the same way as Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, Wallace said. But he expressed hope China never will become as completely Moscow-dominated as Czechoslovakia.

Six State Strike Threatens If Bell "Locks Out" Workers
New York—(U.P.)—Union leaders threatened to order Southwestern Bell system operators to strike in six states today if the company "locks out" workers refusing to cross Western Electric "hit and run" picket lines.
The threat to extend the nationwide walkout of 17,000 Western Electric installation men came as members of the Communications Workers of America (C.I.O.) filed unfair labor practices charges with regional National Labor Relations board offices in at least four cities.
Frank P. Lonergan, vice-president of C.W.A. division 20, said in St. Louis the Southwestern Bell six-state system "will have a strike on its hands" today if it tries to keep workers off the job for not crossing picket lines on earlier shifts.
C. W.A. division 20 represents about 50,000 of the 58,000 employees of Southwestern Bell in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
and part of Illinois. The company said a full-fledged strike would "slow long distance service but not force it on an emergency basis."
Dial-operated local services in the six-state area would not be affected much although the company's many systems would operate with difficulty.
The C.W.A. charged that at least 15,000 members were "locked out" Monday in retaliation for the Union's hit-and-run picketing tactics at Bell system and American Telephone and Telegraph company exchanges throughout the country. Company spokesmen said the charges were "fantastic and absurd."
