HITLER PROMISED
 GREAT THINGS AT S MILITARY DINNER
One Aim Was 10 Rid Coun. try of "ShaekIes of ver-
 saiIIes' Is Claim

NUREMBERG, May 16 = Adolf Hitler promised the German High Command that as soon as he took office he would rid the country of the shackles of Versailles" and build an armed force for use as a political weapon, Grand Admiral Erich Raeder testified today.
 Raeder told the International Military Tribunal that the Fuehr- CTS attitude was made plain at a dinner in February, 1883, arranged to permit Hitler to meet the Ger man generals and admirals. He laid down the dictum that the en- tire policy of the Reich was to be his one-man show, the witness said.
 He said the Wehrmacht was not to be used in situations of domestic unrest, that he would have other forces for that" the Admiral con- tinued
 He assured the Wehrmacht of quiet development to prevent the Reich from becoming the football of other nations-that it could de- vote it's entire time to that"

The w ashingt ion Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON War De- partment is now closing down one of the most unique wartime ar rangements ever made involving another country-a Russian radio station located right inside the Pentagon Building.
 Lifting of wartime secrecy now makes it possible to tell the inside ssory of this Russian radio trans hitter.
 Shortly after the USA and the USSR became allies, the Soviet Embassy complained that it was not able to communicate to Mos COW. Apparently the Embassy did not trust American or British com nunications channels. Moreover, under the Federal Communications Act it is illegal for any foreign country to operate a radio trans hitter in the United States. Re- ceiving sets can be used, but not sending.
 When this problem was placed before President Roosevelt, he de- cided to cut red tape-and the law by establishing Russian radio station right inside the War De- partment. Technically this was still illegal; but when located inside the Pentagon Building no one knew about the transmitter except the Army. and it was sworn to military secrecy.
 Therefore the Russians were giv- en a special section. of the Penta- gon Building which they alone con- trolled. Russian guards policed this section night, and day. No American was allowed E inside. A total of TO Russian officers and men staffed this tra-territorial area. It was as if small section of American soil were set aside, subject to So- viet jurisdiction and law.
 This arrangement has continued since the war-up until this week, when the Russian radio transmitter is supposed to close down.

Stand of New CI0 Govern ment Union Draw
 ing Retaliation

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Senate opponents of additional labor dis putes legislation talked today of proposing that every industry en- gagged in interstate commerce be required to inaugurate workers health plans.
 We are considering such an amendment as well as several oth- CTS which will be disclosed in due course" Senator Pepper (D-Flao told reporters.
 Pepper is leading the floor fight against proposals which he con- tends would undermine and de- stroy' labor He puts in that cate gory virtually all the score of pro- posed amendments to the labor committees bill providing chiefly for a strengthened Federal media ton service.
 The Senate's week-long preoccu- patton with labor matters develop ed a new facet, meanwhile, with a bipartisan move to deny govern ment workers the right to belong to union that permits strike ac- tion.
 Such a provision was attached by the Senate Appropriations Com mittee to bill carrying funds for the Agriculture Department. Sen ators Russell CD-Ga) and Wherry (Neb), the Republican whip, told reporters a similar clause will be inserted in all future supply bills.
 They said the action grew out of the newly-formed CIO United Public Workers of America which Russell said claimed the right to strike and at the same time con- demned the Americans and British for inperialistic policies"

VICTORIA, B. C.. May 16.-A log gers strike which took 37,000 work CTS off the job in British Colum- bia yesterday threatened to close mills producing newsprint for many large United States newspapers with in month and curtail fishing op- erations.
 Spokesmen at the Powell River Paper Company in Vancouver would say only that the strike ultimate ly' would affect production, but other sources said the pulp mills had about three weeks supply of logs on hand The Province pro- duces about 1000 tons of newsprint daily.
 Idleress for 10000 in the fishing indutry was in prospect until or ders for 3.5o0.o00 boxes could be filled Labor leaders said the strike was the opening gun in a general drive for wage increases and predicted that 80,000 would be out of work in a week or 10 days. The International Woodworkers of America (CIO) originally de- manded a wage boost of 25 cents an hour and went on strike when tkeir offer to cut that to Is cents was refused. Operators had offer ed 12 1-2 cents. The length of the work week and other considerations also were in dispute.

ECONOMIC BL0CS
 WILL BE RESULT
 OF BRITISH LOAN

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Secre- tary of the Treasury Vinson agreed that the s3,75o,O o,OOO,OO0 British loan, for time at least, would result in world economic blocs British Am erican on enc side and Russian on the other.
 However, he expressed hope that the agreement ultimately would ease all economic conflicts.
 Appearing before the House Banking Committee on the loan legislation, Vinson was asked this question by Rep. Crawford (R- Mich.).
 Instead of three economic blocs, aren't We in effect creating two economic blocs. with Anglo Ann erican capitalism on one side and Russian Communism on the other?'
 Vinson replied:
 "As I see it we must take this situation as it is. The British oc- cupy unique, a key, position in world trade About IS percent of world trade is in the British and American area. If there can be an understanding on currency and trade practices in that area, one might hope it will extend further and encompass more than 75 per cent

Unprecedented Request Made; Man Wantsfo Join
 His Wife in Leprosariunl

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.- A tall ruddy Army officer, determ- ined to spend the remaining years of his life by the side of his wife in a Carville, La, Leprosarium, was undaunted today by unofficial word from Carville that his request pro bably would be denied
 This possible setback came as friends of 65-year-old Maj. Hans George Hornbostel, veteran of two wars, pushed his petition in Washington. Surgeon General Thomas Parran was among those with whom the probably unpreced- ented request was taken up.
 Mrs. Hornbostel, who is 52, de- veloped skin trouble while she and her husband, an Army Engineer, were prisoners of the Japanese at Santo Tomas in Manila. However, physicians at San Francisco Hospit- al where she is in isolation, believe she contracted the disease long be- fore, probably while doing research work with her husband amond the Polynesian peoples. They point out that leprosy usually does not mani fest. itself until from five to 20 years after exposure. Although she suspected leprosy while at Santo Tomas, the confirmation was ob- tained here only a week ago.
 Major Hornbostel has no doubts about his decision to join his wife at the leper colony.
 T don't consider myself any martyr by asking to be with her as long as we both shall live he said. I'd be unhappy without her and she'd be unhappy without ne, and that's all there is to it."

 NEW IDEA
Federal Union Proposal Is Submitted Embracing
 Full lndependeney

LONDON, May 16.--A six-point plan for a Federal Union of India was announced in the House of Commons today by Prime Minister Attlee.

 ?. A central executive branch and an all-India legislature.

PARIS. May 16.-Ti.c four-pow- CT Foreign Ministers Council spent three hours in almost fruitless dis cussion of Germany today and pre- pared to adjourn later in the eve- ming until June 15. when they again will attack the unsettled problems of peace.
 Soviet Foreign Minister " M. Molotov agreed to an American proposal to send four-power com- mission to all four zones of Ger many to investigate the state oi German disarmament, an Ameri- can informant said.
 But this proposal was thrown out by U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes several days age to counter a Soviet objection to Byrnes' offer of a 25-year four power mutual assistance pact to guarantee the continued disarma ment of Germany. At that time Molotoy had objected that Ger many's recent state of disarma- ment should be studied before such a pact was considered, and Byrnes had proposed the commission.
 Today British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin finally registered Lcndcn's approval of the pact pro- posal, and said Prime Minister Atlee would make a statement in the House of Commons in London on the question later in the day.
 France already has accepted the proposal.
