ect has been the uncertainty that ex-
lists as to whether the necessary water
rights could be acquired under state
law as required by Section 8 Of the
Reclamation Act. 1t is my under
standing that the Montana Power com
pany has made a number of different
appropriations between the years of
1892 and 1928 which it contends cover
the full flow of the stream. 1t is also
my understanding that the extent of
the rights covered by the appropria-
tions of Missouri river waters have
never been adjudicated so that un-
certainty exists as to whether the
Montana Power company can support
its contentious or whether there would
be waters in the stream available for
use by the United States in sufficient
quantities to make possible the opera
ton of the Canyon Ferry project, If
in a manner that would
not impair or interfere with the rights
Of prior appropriations.
You suggested at. the conference
with Secretary Krug on April 16 that
you believed an official expression of
opinion could be obtained from state
on this subject. If such |
an opinion could be furnished, I be-
Iieve that this would facilitate prog
ress on the Canyon Ferry project.
Sincerely yours,

Chicago Papers Facing
Tieup of Deliveries

CHICAGO, Jan. 18 (P.-The Chi
cago Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation said last night that Chi
cago faces an imminent discon-
tinuance of the services delivered
by the city's six daily newspapers
because of "the latest developments
in relations between the associa-
ton and an AF'L Mailers' Union
local.
The association said in a state
ment that union representatives or
several occasions have intimatee
that the newspapers will not be per.
mitted to maintain their service!
to the public if the demands of the
Mailers' Union for increased wage.
and reduced working hours are no
met.
This attitude has been imple.
mented with the Inauguration o.
showdown. tactics in several of the
newspaper plants, which seriously
interfered with delivery of news
papers.
Because this situation may de-
teriorate, the publishers take this
means to inform the community o1
the facts involved"
The publishers statement was
printed on the front pages of the
city's three morning newspapers
the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago
Sun and the Chicago Journal OF
Commerce. Other members of the
association are the Chicago Her
ald-American, the Chicago Daily
News and the Chicago Times.

Dulles Calls for Pact
On Germany Unifyine
European Economy
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-JOhn
Foster Dulles called last night
for German peace settlement
which would open the way for
the economic unification of Eu-
rope and meet what he said was
the Soviet challenge to United
States leadership in world af-
fairs.
The Republican adviser on inter-
national affairs also urged the de-
centralization of Germany on a
Federal State formula and integra-
ton of Germany's economy into that
of her western neighbors.
Such a program, he told dinner
of the National Publishers Associa-
ton, should be included on the
agenda of the forthcoming Moscow
Conference of Foreign Ministers
which, he said, may determine
whether Europe will move toward
economic unity or toward rebuild
ing 'the old structure of independ-
Ient, unconnected sovereignties
"A Europe divided into small
economic compartments cannot be a
healthy Europe" he said. 'All of
EuropeS economic potentialities
need to be used at maximum eff
cheney and European markets should
be big enough to justify modern
methods of cheap production for
mass consumption"
Mr.. Dulles, member of the Uni
ted States delegation to the U. N.
General Assembly, told news con-
ference hefore the dinner that his
speech had been shown to Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan, and Gov. Dewey of New York.
When asked how they felt about the
speech, Mr.. Dulles replied:
II have discussed it with both of
them, and both have expressed con-
currence in the thesis the speech
presents
1t is understood that Mr.. Dulles
discussed the address also with re-
firing Secretary of State Byrnes and
Senator Taft of Ohio, Republican
leader in the Upper House.
The Speaker said, ''It is not beyond
human resourcefulness to find a
form of joint control which will
make it possible to develop the in
dustrial potential of Western Eu-
rope in the interest of the economic
life of Western Europe without max
ing Germans the masters of Europe y

both Prime Minister Churchill ant

lead the invasion of Western Europ,
but that the late President Roose
velt came to the conclusion tina
the then Chief of Staff could no

Secretary Hartman also told tn,
National Publishers Association las
night that wartime reports of fric.
ton between Mr.. Churchill and Gen
Marshall, soon to join President
Truman's cabinet as Secretary oi
State, was one of those legends
which were started during the wal
on which full information has not
been given"
From personal experience I know
OF the high regard that Mr.
Churchill held for Gen. Marshall,
he added. "Of course, there were
differences of opinion between Mr.
Churchill and Gen. Marshall as
to the wisest strategy in the con-
duct of the war. These were hon
est differences as to how victory
could best be assured"
Agreement at Teheran.
II was at Teheran and attended
the discussions between President
Roosevelt, Mr. Churchill and Pre-
mier Stalin," Secretary Hartman
said.
1T was at this meeting that an
agreement was arrived at for the
invasion of France in the follow
ing spring, to be supported by a
strong attack by the Russians from
the east.
I'm the discussions regarding the
selection of supreme commander,
Mr.. Churchill urged the President
to appoint Gen. Marshall to that
position. He had great confidence
in Gen. Marshall's abilities and he
knew the British people shared this
confidence.
stain also advocated the ap-
pointment of Gen. Marshall. 1t was
President Roosevelt who hesitated.
The President was faced with a diff
f1cult decision. 1t was a question of
where Gen. Marshall could be of the
greatest service-in Washington or
in Europe.
Eisenhower Won Approval.
after weighing all the factors,
the President came to the conclu-
sion that Gen. Marshall could not be
spared from his post in Washington.
In reaching this decision there can
be no doubt that the Presidents S
confidence in Gen. Eisenhower
played an important part.
Gen. Eisenhower appointment
was warmly accepted by both
Churchill and Stain. I recall Pre-
mier Stalin's immediate reaction
He replied that he welcomed the
appointment of Gen. Eisenhower,
that Eisenhower was experienced in
directing large forces in combat and
in amphibious warfare.
Among the Presidents advisers
I know of no one who did not ap-
plaud the Presidents decision to
keep Gen. Marshall in his vital po-
