u. ). Considers Plan
For Treaties Without
Russia Participating
BY Gornett D. Homer

The United States is consider
Ing the possibility of going ahead
without Russia and making
separate peace treaties with Italy
and Germany's former satellites
IN the Balkans.
Such action would be undertaken
only as a last resort in case OF
failure of all efforts to break a pro-
longed deadlock with Russia and
produce treaties acceptable to all
the United Nations concerned.
The fact that high American off,
cials are thinking about this drastic
alternative indicates their pessimism
over chances Of reaching agreement
on the peace treaty issues at q
meeting of the Big Four Foreign
Ministers scheduled to convene in
Paris April Is.
Delay in Session Expected.
1t appeared almost certain today
that, in any event, plans for SUBJ
mitting the proposed treaties with
Big Four blessing to a 21-nation
peace conference in Paris May i
will have to be postponed.
Secretary of State Byrnes sug-
gested the April Is meeting with
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin and
French Foreign Minister Bidault In
a last-minute effort to settle their
differences before the May / dead
line.
Under Soviet pressure, however, it
was learned that the French gov
ernment has suggested holding up
invitations to the May l conference
until the foreign ministers meet and
have a chance to consider fixing a
new date. Mr.. Byrnes is understood
to have agreed reluctantly to this
procedure.
Success or failure Of the April Is
meeting should be apparent within
10 days after 1t convenes, officials
mere believe. If agreement Is reached
among the Big Four, the larger
peace conference might be called by
mid-May. If the deadlock continues,
alternative methods for achieving
peace settlements may then be
sought.
Debate in Conference Doubted.
Some attention has been given
here to the possibility of submitting
unresolved differences among the
Big -Four to the 21-nation conference
for debate, but it is considered high
ly unlikely that the Soviet govern
ment would agree to such procedure.
The Foreign Ministers Conference
IN Moscow last December agreed
that preliminary drafts OF peace
treaties would be worked out among
the Big Four before submission to
the larger conference, which could
then only make recommendations
for possible revision. The Soviet is
expected to insist that the confer
ence not be called until all contro-
versies among the major powers are
settled.
Lacking such Big -Four agreement,
the only alternatives would be in
definite postponement of the Euro
pean peace settlements Or for the
Allies to act separately in making
what treaties they can without Rus
sian participation.
Authorities here admit great prac-
tical difficulties in effecting peace
settlements individually, or by joint
action Of the Western powers alone
That would leave Russia free hand
in making its own treaties, for one
thing, and Soviet pressure on the

Coal Discovered At Barrow

WASHINGTON, (P)-The bur eau of mines disclosed today dis covery of enough coal in the Point Barrow, Alaska, area to supply that Arctic village for 75 years.
 A bulletin prepared by Robert s. Sanford, acting chief of the bur- eaus mining branch at Juneau, and Harold C. Pierce, Fairbanks mining engineer, said explorations in the summer of 1944 disclosed the existence of l12,000 tons of ub-bituminous coal - a 75-year stock for Barrow.
 The publication said the survey was undertaken because of an acute fuel shortage at Barrow dur ing the winters of l942-43 and l943-44, which caused much hard ship among the Eskimos. It added:
 The coal resources of north western Alaska are very great and at present are practically un- touched"
 The mines bureau also disclosed for the first time that it surveyed nickel, copper and cobalt deposits in the mertie lode at Funter Bay, Admiralty Island, in 1889, and lead-copper deposits in the 200 square-mile area northwest of Slana, Alaska, in 1945. Results of the surveys were not available.

Heil, both of Wisconsin, and a lot of others.
 Pipes have come from all over the world to Thompson, many of them sent to him or brought to him by men in the armed forces who know of his desire for pipes, and they range in size from midget pipes to one nearly four feet long.
 Water pipes are no novelty in his collection, and the opium pipes of the East are represented as well.
 One of his water pipes came from Honolulu, where It. Milton Zurfluh picked it up and sent it back to Pardeeville, and probably the oldest pipe came from Frank Wing who fished it out of the Del aware river. Near it was found a coin dated l775, establishing the date of the pipe as a century to a century and a half old.
 But the most prized pipe, prob ably, is the one that Capt. William "TeX" Reynolds, now of Racine, but formerly of Pardeeville, sent to Thompson.
 It was Liberated" from the home of Admiral Doenitz, the famed German naval officer, at a time when the captain was in the vicinity of his home in Austria.

Novel Collection Of Old Pipes
tBY John Newhouse) Staff writer. Madison tWis.) State
 Journal.

pARDEEVILLE, Wis. - J u t why he started, H. P. Thompson, who retired this month as pub fisher of the Pardeeville Times, isn't sure.
 But he has more than 200 pipes he las collected from all over the world mounted on a piece of ply wood along one whole wall of his office and more coming in all the time.
 He does remember, however, that it was back in 1888 that he first decided that he would collect pipes as a hobby, though he had never been interested in them be- fore except as a means of convert ing tobacco as a means of fragrant smoke by the most enjoyable pro- cess.
 One of his first pipes came to him in answer to a letter he sent to Bing Crosby. The battered old pipe he received isn't the hand somest in his collection, but it is one of the most cherished.
 And he has others from such famous men as Bobby Jones, Bob Burns, former Gov. Philip LaFol- lette and former Gov. Julius P

Hogan, Little Golf RivoIs

Marmaroneck, N. Y, May 31 - (UP) - Little Ben Hogan, money man of the year in professional golf, put his three-point lead in the $10,- GOO Goodal round robin tournament squarely on the line today against Bulky Lawson Little, the only man in the tandpicked field of 15 who could still breath the dust from Hogan's flying spikes.
 Rifling 6 one under par Il at the Winged Foot Country Club yester- day, Hogan whipped Sam Snead, 4 up, and Herman Keiser, the masters champion from Akron, O., 6 up, for a first round score of plus 10.
 He'll carry that today against Lit tie, who winged through the first round with a plus seven, and Bob Hamilton, 1914 Professional Golfer Association champion, who lost to both rivals yesterday and wound up with a minus 10 at the bottom of the standings.
 Finishing off his 36 hole challenge match with Dick Burton, British open champion, Byron Nelson wob- bled through 12 holes before scoring 2 and 6 triumph over the 39-year- old Briton. He had piled up six hole lead in their first round al Newton, Mass, on Wednesday.
 Nelson completed his first round in the Godall with 76 and 8 plu! five orr the scoreboards, tied fol third with E. J. (Dutch) Harrison of Little Rock, Ark, and Herman Barron of White Plains, N. Y.

Greco, Beau Jack
 Go Ag0in ToniGhf
By JOHN A. CEUNEY

Regardless Of the outcome, New York fight fans are sure of see- ing Q much better battle than Lee Oma vs. Jersey Joe Walcott, when Johnny Greco, the Montreal maul- CT and Beau Jack, the ex-shoe shine boy and battle royal" con- testant, get their hands up tonight in the main bout at Madison Square Garden. There will be some hot and heavy snooping by the price, makers all day long to find out if Greco win have the 'handcuffs" on or oil, for if he is turned loose it's. going to take a better Beau Jack than met Greco last time to take the decision. On paper, the light shapes up on the sensational side, if both lads give their best efforts; but, one never knows where the 'ssznart" money is riding and that always effects the work of one individual or the other. Greco is the writer's choice to win over Beau Jack for the outdoor season is nigh. and there's plenty of money to be made under the lights at Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds.

Tech 9 Tops Crosby 5-4; WiIby Wins

Coach Bill Tracy's Leavenworth High School baseball nine, with only five hits to their opponents seven, beat Crosby, 5 to 4, at the Municipal Stadium yesterday after noon, before the best turnout of the scholastic season. This setback at the hands of the Tech Tigers, dropped the local Blue and White combine into third slot in the Valley League standings. They have an outside chance of staying in the championship race by beat ing Wilby, when they meet at the Stadium this afternoon.
 The atmosp1lere was tense, in the first inning, as Dickie Howard the Big Red leadof man singled to left field, Bart Daly followed up with double, Joe Aufiero's one base hingle scored Daly and Howard while Aufiero made second on a throw to the plate, stole third and scored as Piersall was passed in- tentionally, by coming in low un- der high throw from Lawlor. Abondolo and Recchia were famed to end the rally, but the tenseness which prevailed in the opening minutes of the game suddenly was gone as the fans sat on the edge of their seats waiting for anything and everything to happen. The Tech Tigers drove in another run in the fourth frame to make it four to nothing. Crosby hit pay dirt in the seventh inning as Joe Steck tripled to left center field and then scored on a throw which went through Daddona at third, and into the stands. Leavenworth came back in their half of the eighth frame to score their final tally as Daly doubled, was sacrificed to second by Aufiero and scored as Daddona singled down the right field line.
 Tn the last of the eighth stanza it looked as if the Blue and White baseballers couldn't be stopped, as Kuzmenko was walked, Barone, Petteway and Steck singled and the Manherzmen tallied three counters as one batter was hit by pitched ball and a runner advanced as a result of an outfield miscue.

The Bunker Hill combine had Hennie and Latimer on the mound while the GrayS had Murphy and Dominick. Bud Har- der led the Hill offensive with . triple and single for two official trips to the plate.
