Ukraine UNRRA Chiei
Appeals 10 La Guardia
AGAINST Fund Threat
by the Associoted Press

BERLIN, June 29.-Marshall Mac
Duf1le today said he had sent
UNRRA Director Fiorello La
Guardia an urgent plea against
congressional action threatening to
cut off funds for relief in Russia
and declared the organizations work
in the Ukraine is a bright spot
in the picture of Anglo-American-
Soviet relations"
Mr.. MacDuffie is chief of the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administrations mission to
the Ukraine.
He refused to release the text OF
the message to Mr.. LaGuardia, but
said in an interview that the mes
sage gives in detail report on our
work and my stand on this issue
and points up the extreme necessity
for continuing UNRRA relief in the
Ukraine"
Says Cooperation Was Complete.
He said that during his four
months in the Ukraine, he and 1C
other members of his mission hao
received complete cooperation from
the Russians and that UNRRA had
built up a great deal of good will
among the Soviet people.
The United States House of Rep
resentatives yesterday passed and
sent to the Senate a deficiency ap-
preparations bill allotting $465, ,0O0,-
900 to UNRRA. The measure con-
tained a proviso that American
newspaper correspondents must be
free to report the use of UNRRA
funds. This, in effect, prohibits the
use OF UNRRA funds in any country
which censors news accounts of
UNRRA activities.
President Truman reported to
Congress June "a that Russia had
refused to exempt correspondents
covering UNRRA activities from her
customary censorship regulations.
Mr.. MacDufie, husky, balding for
mer New York lawyer, is en- route to
Washington to report on progress
made by his mission. He was inter-
viewed here in an Army hospital
where he stopped to receive treat
ment for a minor ailment.
Given Widest Latitude.
He said that when eight foreign
correspondents, including three
Americans. toured the Ukraine a
month ago, they were given the wild
est latitude by the Russians and I'VE
picked the spots we wanted to see,
at random"
AS far as I know, the correspon-
dents reports went out uncensored. "
ne said. "At any rate, when the cor
respondents left the Ukraine had
the impression they had seen all
they wanted to of UNRRA activities.
When I saw them later in Moscow
they had no complaints about CEN
sorship."
Rembert James, Associated Press
correspondent in Moscow who made
the tour. said he and his colleagues
moved freely" around Kiev, Minsk
and vicinity, and that persons inter-
viewed talked frankly. He said that
when the correspondents returned to
Moscow they submitted their news
stories through the usaul censorship
channels.
In New York, Mr.. LaGuardia said
ne was confident Mr.. MacDuffie
would be able to continue his very
efficient job"

FL. -(P)- Vice Adm. Howard
L. Vickery, World War II vice
chairman of the U. S. Maritime
Commission, died Thursday
night only a few hours after
coming to this winter resort
in an effort to recover his
health.
Last December the White
House announced acceptance
of Admiral Vickery's resigna-

later resulted in him being
placed on the Nays retired
list.
