All over the country his words will be m scanned for soae cue to the general foreign policy attitude that the Republican Convention will take.

That•s the army of peasant guerrillas 1n which Conuauniat influence is said to be strong. '!be civil war has been going on ever since the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation. The Huke, as they are called out there, were estimated to number a011e hundred and fifty thousand, with a vigorous militiary torce. They put up a stubborn resistance 1n a land where cultivated fields are interaperaed aaong mountains and jungles. But now the trouble ae8111 to be over, with the Jlnl presidential decree issued today at llanilla - a full pardon for all the Ruka, who will lay down their al'lls . in twenty days. Today at the presidential palace, 1n Manilla, appeared Luis Taru<;, the c01111ander or the peasant guerrilla movement. He•a a thirty-five year old insurrecto, a one-time tailor who was elected to the Philippine Legislature - and then was PHILIPPINES - 2 charged with a plot of trying to overthrow the govoernnient. He took to the hills, and ever since has been a daring leader of guerrillas. He has now accepted the amnesty, and has called off the civil war of the Huks - and today he waa the central figure at a ceremony 1n Manilla - a cere on, proclaiming the umesty. UNIONS The Supreme Court today ruled that Unions are permitted to use their newspapers 1n behalf of political candidates. This negatives one provision of the Taft-Hartley Act, which has been construed as forbidding political propaganda in union newspapers/ The C.I.O. made a test case or it, and now has been upheld 1n the Supreme Court:'f In its decision today, the high tribunal had nothing to say about the section ot the Tatt- Hartley Act which requires Union otticials to tile non-Communist affidavits.
