Eihridge Convinced
That Russia Wants
Security League
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. Both
Bulgaria and Romania seem likely
to have governments more nearly
democratic than those they have at
present as the result of American
intervention, Mark Ethridge, Louis
vile publisher, asserted in his first
public utterance on his recent trip
to the Balkans as representative
of President Truman.
Speaking last night at the annual
New Year meeting of the Louis
vile Board of Trade, Mr.. Ethridge
said his remarks were made with
the approval of Secretary of State
Byrnes.
In spite of the fact that Russia
has sometimes acted like an inn
perial power since the end of the
war, believe she does earnestly
want an organization for inter-
national security" Mr.. Ethridge
said.
Concurs in Byrnes' Decision.
Mr.. Ethridge said he concurred in
MIR. Byrnes' decision to make the
full official report of his inspection
trip confidential.
THE only thing that disturbs me
Is the possibility that he may be
charged with suppressing some great
secret. assure you that is not
true"
AS to his findings regarding the
governments of Romania and Bull
garia, MIR. Ethridge said it was his
opinion that neither country has "a
broadly representative government
in the Yalta sense"
He added that Russia made SUBJ
stantial concessions to the wishes of
the United States, though not agree
ing to American objections to the
governmental setup in the two coun-
tries which he visited as an official
observer.
Says Russia Wants Harmony.
The three great powers prom
ised Romania reorganization of the
interim government and elections
that must be really free" the pub
Usher explained. In Bulgaria, where
the election already had been held
he said Russia agreed to advise
the Bulgarian government to broad
en- the base of the cabinet and in
clude representatives of the demo-
cratic elements that are excluded. ,"
Regarding the Soviets' attitude in
general, Mr.. Ethridge concluded:
Certainly, if I were to judge by
the concessions she made to the
American viewpoint with regard to
the Balkans, I must conclude that
she wants to work in harmony"

Government, industry and union
representatives will meet again to-
day in an effort to compromise AFL
and CLIO wage demands In the ship
building industry
Sterilization Administrator John
C. Collet suggested late yesterday
that some" wage adjustment might
be approved under a section Of the
administration wage-price regula-
tions dealing with industries pre-
dominantly under Government con-
tract
Most of the Nations shipyards
still are under contract with the
Navy, Army or other Government
procurement agency Judge Collet
told conference of representatives
of all interested parties that if other
cost factors were reduced, it might
be possible to approve wage boost.
Not Prejudging Issues.
Judge Collet implied that reduc-
ton in the overall labor payroll re-
sulting from the change from a 48
to 40-hour work week therefore
might be partly offset by an increase
in wage rates
He emphasized that his appear
ance before the group, arranged by
the working committee set up at
conclusion of the Colorado Springs
national shipbuilding conference last
month, did not mean any wage ad-
justments would be approved by
him, or that he was prejudging the
issues.
More than a half million ship
yard workers throughout the Ma
ton are involved.
The CIO- international Union of
Marine and Shipbuilding Workers OF
America is asking for a l71z cents
hourly wage increase Immediately as
an equity arising from pay sacri-
fees assertedly made during the
war, and a 80 per cent increase on
top of that to maintain wartime
levels.

The AFL Metal Trades Depart

ing restoration of the real wage"

ment-estimated rise in cost of living
since January, 194l, less the TO per
