Lava Stream Shoots Up Over 5000 Feet Above
 7,903-Foot Peak

MANILA, Jan. 13-Southern Lu- zcn's towering Mayor volcano, boil ing for five days, erupted this morning with furious shower of boulders and lava.
 It. J.g) Robert Case of Nevada, Ohio, a Navy weather officer, cir cled the volcano at 10000 feet dur ing the display in an Army plane piloted by Capt. Robert A. Harris Of Dayton, Ohio.
 Tt tthe peak got redder and swelled like a bubble, then broke, " Case related "A lava stream went straight up to height we estimat- ed at 5000 to 10000 feet above the peak (itself 1903 ieet.l
 We saw huge rocks blown straight up They looked like small houses to US even at distance of a mile and a half or two miles. The eruption lasted about half hour"
 Two towns near the base were ordered evacuated earlier as lava boiled over down the eastern and southern slopes and black smoke mushroomed three miles into the sky.

TROOPS MOVE. STRIKE BOUND LONDON FOOD
of Workers WaIkout as Action Iak-
 en :. City Is Tense
By TOM WILLIAMS

LONDON. Jan. l3.-The Labor used 5000 troops and sailors today to move strike-bound food to hungry Londoners, touch ing of a wave of sympathy strikes which involved more than 1000 workers and threatened to mush- room to gigantic proportions.
 Within 15 minutes of the arriv- al of army personnel at Smithfield Market, the city's largest meat dis tributing center, more than 2,O0o walked off the job in support of more than 15,000 truck drivers who started an unofficial strike last Monday and rejected the pleas of union leaders to return to work.
 The truckmen demand a 44-hour instead of a 48-hour week, two weeks paid vacation, half pay dur ing illness and adjustment of over time pay conditions. The 45-mem- Der road haulage central wages board met in emergency session to consider the demands and a pre- vious decision which touched off the walkout.
 London was tense. All police leaves were cancelled and mounted oonstables accompanied the con- voys of military trucks.
 Long lines of army trucks poured into the citys East End past thous- ands of unsmiling persons at the curbS.
 Almost immediately after the Smithfield workers struck, 5000 laborers walked out at Covent Garden, chief vegetable market in London.

 Five of the six rescued men suf- fered minor injuries; the sixth, the pilot, It. Gg) Ralph Paul Le- Blanc of Martinsville, La, was more severely hurt. He was drawn on sled as the group followed a trail blazed by the discovery plane to open water eight miles away It was there that a second seaplane landed yesterday to pick them up. Reports of their physical condi- tion were not immediately avail able. The group, in addition to Captain Caldwell, Pilot Leblanc, and Kearns, included:
 James Haskins Robbins, Aviation Radioman 3-c, San Diego, Calif.; William c. H. Warr, Aviation Ma chinists Mate c-2, Portsmouth, Va, and Owen McCarty, Chief Photo graphers' Mate, Sonoma, Calif.

Another cold mass was moving into Montana from Canada, causing the temperature to drop from 34 yesterday afternoon 10 seven above early today at Havre. Mont.
 This mass was expected to move encountering a low pressure area moving northeastward from Colorado and Wyoming.
 As the two air masses meet, snow was predicted, with heaviest falls expected in Minnesota, upper Mich igan and Northern Wisconsin areas already covered by snow blanket ranging from four to IS inches.
 Light drizzling rain fell in some sections of Illinois, Indiana, Low CT Michigan and Wisconsin early today sometimes accompanied by freezing temperatures which made driving hazardous. Temperatures of 40 degrees were expected to last for 24 hours in Chicago, followed by a drop tomorrow.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = There will be one important difference between President Truman's relations with his new Secretary of State George Marshall and those with his retiring Secretary, Jimmie Byrnes.
 With Byrnes, Truman was always a little uncomfortable. He respect ed Jimmie, had confidence in him, but resented the fact that Byrnes operated as a one-man team. The President had almost nothing to say about foreign policy. Byrnes had been a senior Senator and later Supreme Court Justice when Tru- man was very insignificant junior Senator. Also, Jimmie had the ha- bit of playing diplomacy by ear. A master musician, he didn't worry about accompanies, seldom sent the White House reports from Paris or London, didn't always tell the President about his future plans.
 At one time, Truman objected to this SO vigorously that he almost fired his Secretary of State. The in cident occurred just after Byrnes returned from Moscow one year ago and announced even before he cabled a full report to the President, that he would give radio report to the Axr,orioov, r1ao,,1a
 Truman was furious. Summoning Byrnes to come aboard the Presi- dential yacht immediately, the

MARSHALL |S' PLEDGED cop SUPPORT NOW
BYrnes, Vdndenberg Map Out Program-Ge 10
 Take Oath This Week

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Gen. George c. Marshall becomes Sec retary of State this week with as- surances from Senator Vandenberg of Republican support on major diplomatic issues expected to arise during the months ahead.
 Final plans for Marshall to take the oath as successor to James F. Byrnes are yet to he announced, but officials said privately that the ceremony will be held at the White House the latter part of the week.
 Marshall, resting after 13 months of arduous diplomatic work in Chi ma, remained in Honolulu over the weekend.
 Meanwhile, the pattern of his future tasks and something of the extent of the Republican support he can expect in striving for their accomplishment were made clear in speeches by Byrnes and Vanden- berg, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
 Program Explained
 Vandenberg, addressing the Cleve- land Council in world affairs Satur- day night, spoke out for:
 l. Congressional appropriations to carry on an American relief pro- gram in war-wrecked countries.
 2. Rehabilitation loans for the countries which need them, and
 3. Continuance of tariff reducing reciprocal trade agreements in some form.
 Controversy Indicated
 Beyond these points, all of which seem likely to arouse some con troversy in Congress, the Michigan Senator also urged policy shift in China, saying the United States now should support the coalition oi Communist parties backing China's new constitution.
 This evidently would mean aban- doning the policy which Marshall followed during his stay in China a policy of equality between the Communists and the Nationalist Kuomintang which to date has run the government.
 For Rio de Janeiro Meet
 Moreover, in an apparent break with prevailing State Department policy, Vandenberg also demanded that the long delayed Pan Ameri- can conference on hemispheric de- fense be held at Rio De Janeiro in the immediate future.
 Vandenterg spoke on the same program as Byrnes, but while he devoted himself to specific issues, the retiring Secretary directed his discussion more to broad questions of world peace and American aims.
 Byrnes declared himself more confident than ever before that the United States "can achieve just peace by cooperative effort" with other nations provided it will re- main firm in upholding the right"
 Much of Byrnes' speech was giv- en over to a plea for the main- tenance of military forces adequate to (A) carry out American occu- patton policies in Germany and Japan,
 (B) Uphold American prestige in dealings with other nations, and
 co Discharge American obliga- tions within the United Nations.

SHOWDOWN PUT OFF TO
 WEDNESDAY,
Quarrel Started by Senator Taft = Another Ques-
 lion Causes Worry

WhtoIillNo oN, odii. io.--ociitftt Republicans today put off until Wednesday showdown on their dispute over whether a special com- mittee should investigate war pro- fits
 The quarrel which has split the COP, comes down to this: Wheth- CT an inquiry, if made, should be undertaken by the regular Armed Services Committee, headed by Senator Gurney (R-ND) or by special committee under Senator Brewster (R-Maine).
 Republicans held a private con ference on it this morning. Senator Taft tR-Ohio) told reporters after wards that no decision was reached on the main question and that it will be discussed further Wednes- day
 He said there was an agreement that the special committee, if ap- proved, should be limited to in quiry into what has happened in the past. This would leave to the Armed Services committee questions of future policy.
 Taft said another question both ering the whether to have a special committee to investigate the problems of small business will be discussed tomorrow
 
 In House
 On the House side of the capitol. members who are war veterans or ganized into an informal associa- tion Rep. Francis E. Walters tD- Pal, who was named chairman, told reporters this isn't going to be a pressure bloc A committee was appointed to make recommen- dations on whether the group should sponsor any specific legislation.
 The matter of the special com- mittees is the first to bring an open division among the Senate's 5l Republicans.
 Gurney told reporters that Brew ster definitely had abandoned the idea of carrying out an investiga- ton of the military government in Germany--a matter which caused a serious intra- a-committee row few weeks ago.
 Field Investigations
 Gurney said If any such investi- gation is needed, the Armed Services committee will make it. Undoubt- edly, he added. his committee will find it necessary later to make a number of field investigations, pro- bably in France, Germany, the Guam and Japan.
 Senator Revercomb (R-W Val said the Republican Senators decid- ed informally after studying debate over the reorganization bill, that they were well within the new rules in proposing the special commit tees.
 Earlier the Republican policy committee, headed by Taft, had voted years extension of life for the War Investigating Committee and to back a resolution continuing small business inquiries for eight months. The latter would be made by new committee headed by Sen ator Wherry (R-Neb) replacing the old group headed by Senator Mur- ray (D-Mont).
