 The Budapest correspondent of the London News Chronicle re- ported that a five-year economic cooperation" pact between Russia and Hungary already has been in- itialed by representatives of the two countries and is awaiting ratifica- ton by the Hungarian government.
 "A bitter struggle is raging over the ratification and a government crisis is threatened" the dispatch said. However, the Hungarian gov- ernment is communist controlled and large Russian forces occupy the country.
 Under such conditions, the struggle would appear academic"
 The dispatch said the agreement would give Russia a half interest in the projected development of ali. basic branches of Hungarian inc dustry. trade, natural resources transportation and agriculture"

High Command Thot Japs Would Bomb Seattle

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 - The U. $. high command expected the Japanese to bomb airplane factor ies in Seattle and San Diego, rather than Pearl Harbor, in 1941, General George C. Marshall dis closed.
 Questioned by the joint Con- gressional Pearl Harbor investi- gating committee, the wartime Chief of Staff testified that he and other high officers thot that way early in December of that year. "I assumed Guam would be taken, and probably Wake, though the taking of Wake island would be more difficult. There was a pos sibility that an effort would be made to strike at the Panama Canal, and our airplants in Seattle and San Diego.'
 Gen. Marshall said he thought "the most improbable" form of the Japanese assault would be what actually happened-a blow at Hawaii.

Truman Appoints Fact-finding Board In C M Dispute

President Truman has inter vened in the General Motors strike by appointing fact-finding board to consider the dispute. He announced he would name simi- lar board soon in an effort to head of the threatened strike in the steel industry.
 The General Motors strike has made some two hundred thirteen thousand persons idle throughout the country and crippled nearly half of the motorcar industry's production of new cars.
 The CIO United Steel workers union has called a strike of its seven hundred thousand members for January fourteenth. The strike industry spokesmen estimate will affect more than forty per cent of the nations workers through its effect on related industries.
 President Truman disagreed with the views of organized labor that the fact finding procedures might result in long delays in the settlement of union demands. His action came in the face of direct opposition of the leaders of the striking CIO United Auto Work efs involved in the General Mo- tors dispute, and the CIO United okSteel Workers.

BIRMINGHAM TEACHERS
win PAY INJUNCTION

BIRMINGHAM, May 8 (ANP)
u. S. District Judge T. A. Muir
phree granted a consent decree here
restraining the Jefferson County
Board of Education from paying
Negro teachers discriminatory sal
aries based upon race and color.
Pending since March 1, 1912,
when William j. Bolden, principal
in Leeds Junior High school, filed
an injunction suit charging racial
discrimination in salaries paid to
Negro teachers in comparison with
the whites, the case waited for
nearly four years for final settle
ment.
While the decree put an end to
racial salary differentials, the board
retained the right to decide whether
teachers are equally qualified, and
to pay salaries according to effici-
ency and merit.
Supt. John E. Bryant, defendant
along with the board, hailed the de-
cision as "fair" and promised to
cooperate in every way to be fair
to Negro teachers and not to dis
criminate against them" Some 800
or more Negro teachers are affect
ed by the decision.

WASHINGTON, May 10 (ANP)
While the House rules committee
was deciding to take the vote on
permanent FEPC legislation Rep.
Joe Erwin (D) Of North Carolina
was laying down the pattern to con-
gress which is expected to be fol-
lowed by the southern bloc in de-
feating the legislation. The one hour
address, delivered by comparative
freshman in the house, made repeat
ed pleas to northern Republicans to
join those who are fighting enact
ment of the Norton bill.
1t was during the course of an ex-
ecutive session that the rules group
concluded that the vote should be
taken this week. Chairman SABBATH
(D) of Illinois has been trying for
weeks to take the vote, but the de-
laying tactics within the commit

with the aid Of Reps. Hallock and
Allen, both Republicans, have made
this difficult.

legislation "would create a concen-
