Assoeioisd pfsss Forsisn Correspondent
TIENTSIN, Mar. 5.-Russians
frozen by surprise at seeing % un-
invited foreign news correspondents
roaming Soviet-held Manchuria
have recovered-and barred the
door. Now that the stories are out,
they're stopping trains to Mukden
to search them for foreigners.
Only surprise could have enabled
the coup which brought the first on
the-scene stories of Soviet activities
In the opinion Of the first group of
newSmen to return. For Soviet hos
pitality cooled after the first startled
week.
Undoubtedly any more foreigners
appearing in Russian-neld territory
will be in for rough time unless
they have proper Soyiet-approved
credentials-especially when Soviet
officers hear what the boys have
been writing about.
(Mr. Gushing wrote about ship
ping Of Japanese war prisoners
to Siberia, dismantling and re-
moval of Manchurian industrial
plants and full-dress military
maneuvers of the Red Army out
side Dairen.)
The first wave of eight Americans
and one British writer had grown
weary of red tape which kept them
out of Manchuria. They wanted to
cover what they considered a legiti-
mate news story within the juris-
diction of 1t. Gen. Albert C.. Wede-
meyer, American commander in the
China theater which includes Man
churia.
So they climbed aboard a train
to Mukden.
Russians in Mukden still were
suffering from that first shock when
another group of a dozen corre-
Spondents arrived by the same ex-
pedient, bringing the total there to
81. A French newsman turned up
later, alone.
The first group found the Rus
slams guarding the city with sub
machineguns. The newsmen didn't
look around much, at first. The
Soviets put them in the Intourist
Hotel and said it would be danger
Gus outside. The correspondents
drank japanese beer and fumed
until eventually the Russians said
they could roam. Certain factories
however, remained banned.
The second wave registered at the
Intourist without incident and pro-
ceeded to look over the city.

700 Steel Fabricators
Face Long Tieup From
Lack Of Wage Pattern
BY jones Y. Newton

Federal Labor officials feared to-
day that about TOO strike bound
steel fabricating plants would be
closed indefinitely as a result of
President Truman's statement that
his 1871 -cents-an-hour wage in
crease recommendation applied only
to basic steel plants.
Mr.. Truman urged plant-by plant
negotiations to settle differences in
those fabricating companies where
approximately 200 1000 employees,
members of the CIO United Steel
Workers, are still on strike.
The union had assumed that the
wage increase, which settled the
strike of more than 100000 steel
workers, applied to the entire in
dustry.
Mr.. Truman's statement was made
to a group of fabricators making
variety Of steel products who called
at the White House yesterday. His
remarks were made public by Eben
Ayers, assistant press secretary.
Labor Department officials pointed
out privately that the ruling left
the industry without a wage pat
tern, and it would take long time
to end the hundreds of strikes on
an individual basis. They said the
fact that so many fabricators would
not be able to operate offset to a
considerable degree the benefits OF
settlement in basic steel.
A member of the fabricators' dele
CATION said there was no doubt as to
the meaning Of the Presidents re-
marks.
He told us that he was a strong
believer in little business, and that
1t was just common sense for the
fabricating companies and the
union to engage in negotiations on
the local plants level" he said.
Some fabricators have contended
they could not stay in business If
required to pay the Big Steel
wage increase and in addition pay
IS more per ton for steel, as pro-
vided In the recent order of the
stabilization administrator.

HoIdup Is Postponed

Michael James Quinn, 81, con-
victed payroll robber who escaped
from District Jail November "a and
surrendered to Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents in Chicago
February IL, was returned to Wash
ington today and lodged in District
Court cell block.
He arrived by train, heavily
guarded by deputy marshals. He
then was transferred to an auto
mobile full of deputies, followed by
another car carrying additional
armed marshals.
On arrival at the cell block, Quinn
kept his hat down over his face, and
his coat collar turned up to prevent
photographers from taking his pic
ture. He was manacled to another
prisoner.
Bandits Got S24,60O.
With four other men, Quinn
escaped from District Jail while
awaiting sentence after conviction
on a charge of participa ting in the
National Bank of Washington hold
up last March 80. More than $24 500
was stolen from two messengers who
were en- route to S. Kann's Depart
ment Store
1t had been expected that Quinn
would be arraigned on the escape
charge and sentenced on the bank
robbery count However, Justice
James M. Proctor, who was to hear
the Quinn case, is engaged in pro-
bate work and court officials said
the escaped felon probably would
not appear before the jurist until
Thursday.
Attorney James K Hughes, rep
resenting Quinn, said he expects
his client to- plead not guilty on
the escape charge on the theory
that Quinn is not A Federal pris-
prisoneBaof the StSkA of

Mr.. Hughes said that -hefpre
Qainn's. participation in thetank
robbery here he had committed a
robbery in Pennsylvania but had
only been arrested for the latter
offense after being taken into Gus
tody on the bank case.
Before coming to trial in the
bank case, the attorney said, Quinn
was convicted and sentenced in
Pennsylvania on the other robbery
and received long prison term.
He was subsequently loaned" to
this jurisdiction by the State Of
Pennsylvania to stand trial on the
bank robbery, Mr.. Hughes con-
tended.
Quinn broke out Of District Jail
only five days after he and Charles
K. Skiskowski, 43, were convicted of
the bank robbery.
Arrested in Chicago.
After vowing he would never re-
turn to prison, Quinn walked out OF
his Chicago apartment with his
hands up and was arrested by the
Federal agents. Because OF his
criminal record he was kept con-
stantly under guard. A well-known
Philadelphia gangster. Quinn has
been frequently mentioned in con-
nection with underworld slayings
since his escape.
OF the four other men who escaped
from District Jail, John Monsour
80, one of the ringleaders, and Will
liam Andrew Reed, 26, charged with
HOUSEKEEPING. are at large. The
escapes precipitated broad investi-
cation of District penal affairs and
the indictment of IL persons, in
cluding the fugitives, for escape or
for abetting the escape.

the same time, deny these principles,
maneuver around the rules, and do
all in their power both to discredit
the leaders they agree to serve,
and. if possible, secure their places
when they are discredited."
This statement of one of the lead
ing exponents of Red totalitarianism
is worth a whole encyclopedia. 1t
discloses not alone the procedure
followed by Communism in it's lust
for power in the domestic concerns
of nations, but also its method of
acting in the field of foreign affairs.
Laski shows how little faith can
be placed in the words of Stain and
the rest of the Red hierarchy when
they utter words Of sweet reassur-
ance as to peace, international good
will and mutual cooperation among
the peoples of the globe. He gives
US positive proof of the impossible
ity of the Communist world S
coming to terms with Soviet Russia,
except on Soviet Russia's own terms.
Soviet Russia is bent upon world
conquest. not upon world peace.
Laski has let the red cat out of
the bag.

those from the Baltic countries. She
suggested that these peoples could
be helped by sending clothing, food
