 The Pontiff said the ghost of famine is rising behind all those who are trying to work on the rec construction and qualification of the world.
 Circumstances which could not be foreseen have aggravated the food situation in eastern Europe, the Pope said. Bad harvests in southern Europe are causing threats of starvation, and a short crop of rice in eastern Asia is producing the same situation there, he said.
 The Pontlff said all possible means would be used to realize the maximum possible benefit from the coming harvest. Even SO, he con- tinued, 1t will be very difficult to feed all, and the distressed food situation may last until the next harvest

 Objected to Invasion
 Keitel testified that he objected to attacking Russia, and argued with Hitler about it, offering again the fact that Q general whose views he did not accept should try to re- sign"
 He said the first definite instruc- tions regarding the Russian war came early in December, i940, but it was not until the next March that it became clear to him that Hit Ter was determined to march east ward. The invasion began June 22
 Keitel said he asked Hitler re- peatedly to demand of Russia a clarification of Soviet troop con- centrations along the frontier. but Hitler refused. In January or Feb ruary of 194l. he said, 150 Soviet divisions were on the border.

 A strictly confidential memor- andum by former Attorney General Francis Riddle published on Page 426 of Appendix, Par. 9 of the report of the House Un- American ActlVl- ties Committee says, in part:
 The American League against War and Fascism is the first of three organizations established Tn the United States in an effort to create public sentiment on nehaA of a foreign policy adapted 10 the interests of the Soviet Union. Its successor, the American Lea sue for Peace and Democracy, was | established in 1887. and 1t, in turn gave way in l040 to the American Peace Mobilization which. since the German invasion of Russia and es- tabnshment of a pro-war policy oy Communists in the United States, has been known as American Peo- ple's Mobilization"
 BIddle's memo quotes Earl Brow der. former Communist chiet Tn thls country, as describing the American League against War and Faseism as a party transmission belt" chan mel to reach the masses Of the people. Riddle also stated that the federal Bureau of Investigation learned that the League was among organizations receiving money from the Soviet Russian Amtorg Trading Corporation which had American headouarters in New York.

 Operator representatives rejected the proposal on grounds that no disagreement should be conceded until the conferees had at least at- tempted to settle all disputed issues. Lewis has refused to discuss wages and hours until the operators met the UNIV. demands for improved health and safety conditions.
 Conferees Reject Motion
 Despite 8 series of rebuffs from Lewis, management representatives still were trying to guide the nego- tiations into Q discussion of wages and hours. They submitted 8 for nal motion calling for immediate discussion of those issues yesterday but the conferees adjourned for the day without voting on 1t.
 The operators have proposed that an agreement be made first on the length of the New York week. They said they then would offer wage increases in line with those allowed in other major industries, indicat- ing they meant raises of IS to IS l-2 cents an hour.
 Lewis failed to attend yesterdays session, but the union delegation re- jected an industry proposal for settling the dispute over unioniza- ton of supervisory employees.

Iranian circles in Teh- ran, as well as well informed Anglo-American sources, thought failure of the central govern mens to regain control would mean that Azerbaijan would vir- tually become a Russian state.
 The Russian evacuation pledge was believed to make prelimin- ary discussions Of Azerbaijan possible at this time.

 The Allies might have ended the war before 1t was well begun with an invasion of Germany from the west during the Polish campaign, Keitel testified.
 we soldiers always expected in- tervention by the western powers during the Polish campaign, and we were surprised that only slight Skirmishes took place along the West Wall, which was protected by only five divisions" he said. Af- ter the recess he changed his story.

 The Pontiff said all possible trans port must be made available for the shipment of food.

 The Pope said the United States generously had taken the lead in the movement to feed the starving
 "They have put at the service of this sacred cause their great pro- ductive power" he said. "They have doubled their efforts to increase food production"
 Tn an inferential appeal to the Allies to feed the former Axis coun- tries on an equitable basis, he said that there was no room for a thought of revenge q nthe face of this great menace There must not be any revenge against the defeat- cd and privilege for the Vctors."
 The Pontiff singled out for spe- cial castigation those who deal in the black market. He said all who can do anything to prevent starva- ton have a great responsibility before God, and an even greater responsibility falls on those whose esoiSm drives them to make illicit profit"
