Reds Take Thousands of Nozis
To Soviet to Repair Damage;
Lease-Lend to Russia Curbed
All New Shipments
Through Europe
Are Held Up
Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Lease-lend to Russia through
Europe is being suspended now
that war there is over.
A statement last night by Leo T
Crowley, foreign economic admins
traitor, said the Government is re-
viewing its lease lend programs.
That is necessary, he said, $50 that
American resources will be dis
tributed in such a way as to make
the utmost possible contribution to
victory in the major war which
We have still to win"
Meanwhile, new shipments to
Europe" are being held up except
to countries at war with Japan or
through which redeployment of our
troops now in Europe can be facili-
tated thereby, Mr.. Crowley said.
Other Routes Not Affected.
Lease-lend to Russia by other
routes apparently is not affected.
An informed source said substan-
tial amounts are going by ways
which had not been disclosed.
The announcement was taken to
mean that supplies going to Europe
were more specifically sent for pur-
poses of fighting the European war.
1t would appear to be an obvious
development that shipments there
on the same scale would not now
be necessary.
Other countries in Europe getting
leaSe-lend are at war with Japan.
Only Russia is affected by the
embargo.
Russia was understood to have
been notified of the development,
but it was not known when. There
was no indication whether she had
made reply.
Statement Issued.
Here Is the statement Mr.. Crow
ley issued:
"As I have frequently stated in
testimony before committees of the
Congress, lease-lend is purely an in
strument for winning the war. Ac-
cordingly it is necessary with the
end of hostilities in Europe to re-
view lease-lend programs SO that
American resources will be distribu-
ted in such way as to make the
utmost possible contribution to vic
tory in the major war which we
have still to Win
Such re-examination and review
is now taking place. Pending its
completion, new shipments to Eu-
rope are being held up except those
destined to countries now at war
with Japan, or to countries through
which redeployment of our troops
now in Europe will be facilitated
thereby"
Follows Notice to Tito.
Whether the action had any con-
nection with this Governments re-
cent stiffened attitude on diplomatic
questions, particularly the Polish
issue, was not apparent.
The action followed by few hours
pointed notice to Marshal Tito of
this Governments views toward
territorial changes. Tito long has
had Moscow support.
However, the fact that the state
ment came through Mr.. Crowley's
office and not from higher Govern
ment levels, such as the State De-
partment or the White House, was
seen as an effort to avoid the impli-
cation that the order is a slap at
Moscow.
The lease-lend agreement with
Russia is on a year -to-year basis.
The last protocol, signed after long
negotiations, was retroactive to July
/, 1914, and expires June 30, this
year, unless other arrangements are
made. Since it's terms have not
been made public, it is not known
whether it automatically is extended

Only the 1,200-Square mile Bo-

In Austria, north and south of

There was no organized resistance.
Marshal Ivan S. Konev, command

0PA Increases Values

u. S. Will Aid Starving
In Europe, Trumon Tells
Food for Freedom, Inc.
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

DJ NlALSoA4u LAIf1Do1t1%L, JI.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton yesterday raised the point
values of lard, shortening and
cooking and salad oils from six
to 10 points a pound, effective at
midnight last night, and ordered
a 20 per cent reduction in the
allotment of fats and oils for
industrial users.
Action came as Food for Freedom,
Inc, made public a letter from
President Truman. declaring that
we must and can find a way to
share available food supplies in the
United States with starving persons
of liberated Europe.
The letter was in reply to an ap-
peal signed by Mrs. Dwight w. Nor
row, president of Food for Free
dom, and leaders of 81 other civic,
farm, religious and labor groups ex-
pressing their desire to share Amer
lean food with Europeans. The ap-
peal was sent to the President

Civilian ALLEGATIONS Reduced.
OPA's action resulted from a Wal

ALLEGATION of fats and oils to civil
ians. A food report of the Inter-
agency Committee on Foreign Ship
ments forecast the cut April 80
pointing out that foreign countries
would have to depend on the United
States to make up a 500,0O0-ton

Bowles said that during the second
quarter of this year the agency will

oils than originally planned for ci-
william rationing. Because the new
cut is retroactive to April l, Mr..
Bowles said if action had not been
taken quickly, lit is probable that
stocks would soon have been en-
tirely used up in some areas"
The 20 per cent cut for industrial
users during the rest of the second
quarter will not affect the manu-
facture of pharmaceuticals, OPA
said.
Says Letter Is Encouraging.
Mr.. Truman's letter to Food for
Freedom said:
I am greatly encouraged by the
letter of April d which you trans
mitted to me several days ago,
signed by the heads of a number of
national religious, civic, farm and
labor organizations.
Il am sure it must also encourage
the United Nations representatives
now meeting at San Francisco. Par
ticularly is this true of the leaders
of those nations laid waste by the
destruction and brutality of Nazis-
Japanese tyranny.
mo immediate means of giving
hope to the victims of this tyranny
can have so great an effect as the
sharing with them by the people
