Merry Co., Round The w ashing ion
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Many people have written regarding my propos- ed five-year plan for peace and friendship with Russia-some criti- cal, some appreciative, some want ing more information. This column is an attempt to answer some of the very important points raised in their letters.
 Harold Walton, Philadelphia-The idea of a five-year plan for friend ship is merely a human approach to a most terribly difficult problem. It is an attempt to head off a drift toward almost certain war-lf we continue the. way we are going. It is an attempt to get two peoples better acquainted, always the best guarantee against war
 This is no panacea or cure-all, but breathing space of five years in which we can work intensively at friendship and then get our bearings. After every war, people are tired and wounded, their feel ingS on edge. They don't always have the proper perspective. If we can get away from war for five years, if we can quit talking about 1t and really concentrate on mak- ing friends with our potential en- emy, then maybe we can pave the way for permanent peace
 However, I repeat that this five year plan for friendship is defin- itely conditional upon Russia's go-

 Skagway, however, will continue to receive mail and Canadian fresh produce carried by the Princess Louise, according to Young who said he expects no trouble at Skag way by longshoremen because the company has had no difficulty in the past at that port.

BATTLE ON OVER BEEF
 DE(0NTR0L
Advisory Committee Votes Petition for Remov-
 al of Ceilings

WASHINGTON, Oct. B. The fight for decontrol of beef headed for showdown today when the beef advisory committee formally authorized filing of petition to remove price ceilings from cattle, beef and veal.
 The committee voted Il to l to petition for decontrol, and author ized Robert G. Thomas, executive vice president of the Lima Packing Company Lima, Ohio, and Roscoe G. Haynie, committee chairman and vice president of Wilson & Company of Chicago, to sign the appeal
 Haynie told reporters that the petition will be based on a conten- tion that, under terms of the price control act, beef is eligible for de- control. One eligibility require ment is that beef cattle be In am pie supply.
 Haynie declined to name the com mittee member who refused to vote for decontrol petition. However, he said the member felt that this is not the proper time for the ac- tion.
 An OPA official told reporters the agency now is working on new reg ulations which he said deal with distribution of meat supplies and increases in prices on some meats.
 The decontrol action came as the War Department announced that negotiations are under way for a loan of 20,000,000 pounds of beef belonging to Great Britain to meet requirements of troops overseas.
