 AID BILL

Death of Congressman Postpones Talk on Help
 for Greece, Turkey

WASHINGTON, May 5.-iR-The start of history shaping debate on the issue of help to Greece and Turkey in combating Com munism was postponed by the House today because of the death of Rep Charles L. Gerlach, Penn sylvania Republican.
 Gerlach was a member of the Foreign Affairs committee, which is in charge of the $4o0,000, 900 aid bill.
 House leaders agreed to defer opening of debate until tomorrow and adjourn promptly today out of respect to Gerlach, who died at his Allentown, Pa, home of a heart attack.
 In considering the aid program the lawmakers will be searching for the answer to this question:
 Will it lead to peace or warp"
 That question-which only time can answer positively the House to-face with the choice of CD acting now in an effort to halt the spread of Communism, or @ waiting to see whether the United States and Russia can re- concile differences in their ways of life.
 The Senate took a stand for ac- tion now stamping its 67 to 23 okay on the bill April 22 after days of acrid debate.

 CRITICIZED
 BYS0vIET5
Newspaper Says He Made Ineorreet Appraisal
 of Conference

MOSCOW, May 5-tR- The newspaper Izvestia today accus- ed U. s. Secretary of State George C. Marshall of making an ''incor- rect appraisal of the Moscow for eign ministers conference in his recent radio address to the Amer ican people.
 The editorial also criticized John Foster Dulles, Republican member of the U S. Delegation to the con- ference, for "distorting the facts, " in his summing up of the confer ence.
 The question arises" Izvestia went on, "as to what caused the Secretary to give such an incorrect appraisal of the Moscow session. Apparently the reason is that the position of the American and Brit ish representatives during the de- bates on the German problem were far from trying to create real guarantees of a sound peace and the prevention of aggression.
 The editorial asserted that the Secretary was obviously trying to create dissatisfaction" among the American people over the Soviet Unions policy.

 Palestine Debate
By MAX HARRELSON

NEW YORK, May 5.-The United States and Russia were reported agreed today on joint Slav-Latin American plan to end the stale mate over Jewish representation in the United Nations Palestine de- bate.
 The compromise plan provided that the official Jewish agency for Palestine would be given hear ing before the General Assembly's 55-nation political committee, but not before plenary meetings as the Russians had previously insisted. The only question remaining to be settled was the final wording of a resolution which would be ac- ceptable to all factions.
 The proposals were put forward at the opening of todays session by Yugoslavia, White Russia, Ar gentina, Chile and Uruguay.
 The United States was said to feel that the official Jewish agency for Palestine and other organiza- tions should not be permitted to participate fully in the dehate, even before the political committee, and should not be allowed to appear at all before plenary meetings.
 The Jewish agency was under

ARREST WARRANT
 IS SUFFICIENT FOR
 SEARCH OF HOME

WASHINGTON, May 5.-R-The Supreme Court held today that law officers arresting man at his home on a warrant may search the premises and use against him any evidence they find of law breaking.
 The decision turned on one vote of the nine justices.
 The four who disagreed said the court was striking down the con- stitution's protection against un- reasonable search and seizure.
 They harked back to the Revo- lutionary War and the rights for which it was fought. Justice Mur- phy, one of them, declared the court:
 Today has resurrected and ap- proved, in effect. the use of the odious general warrant or writ of assistance presumably outlawed forever from our society"
 The other dissenters were Jus tices Frankfurter, Jackson and Rutledge.

5TASSEN GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
 AID TO GREECE
Refers to Conversation He Had with StaIin While
 at Moscow

WASHINGTON. May 5-tR- Harold E. Stassen although say ing he favors the S400,000, 900 Greek-Turkish aid program, declar- ed today it would be a tragic mistake for the United States to arm an all-out offensive against guerrilla opponents of the present Greek government.
 At a news conference where he discussed the program, the former Minnesota governor also termed the general doctrine back of President Trumans policy negative one.
 He said he endorses the aid pro- gram in the form approved by the Senate but hopes that military ex- penditures will not be such as to bring about a full civil war in Greece
 Instead, Stassen said, the United States should concentrate on at tempting to build stable and prosperous regime in the valleys oi Greece which by it's very prosper ity would weaken the appeal of Communism to the mountain guer- rillaS.
 Stassen, an avowed candidate for the l943 Republican Presidential nomination, met with reporters af- ter releasing over the weekend the transcript of an interview he had April with Soviet Premier Stalin.
 The Russian leader was quoted as saying, among other things, that the U.SS.R. want to cooperate"
 Capitol Hill reaction to Stassen's reports on what Stalin told him was generally along the line that this country would like to see deeds bearing out his words.

The W ashing ion Merry Go -Roun9
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = If the Arm y really wants to save money, here is one way they can do it. eliminate such vacation-trav rackets as that pulled by Col Maxwell Keele., commanding officer of the Madi- gan General Hospital, Tacoma, Wash.
 Colonel Keeler recently had occa- sion to send an ambulatory patient, Pvt. Alvin Anenberg, from Tacoma to the Veterans Hospital in North port, N. Va trip across the con- tinent. Ordinarily one non-com- missioned officer is detailed to at tend a patient of this kind who can walk
 However, Colonel Keeler appar- ently saw Private Anenberg's trip as an excuse to go along himself, thereby visiting his old home in Connecticut; also to give several other men trips home-all at Gov ernment expense.
 For the travel orders for Private Anenberg show that he was atten- ded by a full Colonel-Keeler, him. self-together with Sgt. Lewis J. Braucher, Pvt. Lawrence Heding and Pvt. Donald J. Jenson. This is big retipue of medical attend ants to go across the continent with a patient who can walk. In addition, each attendant was given ten days delay enroute chargeable as leave"
 Interesting thing about the ten days leave is that Colonel Keeler's order to himself ordering himself from Tacoma to New York, showed that his ten days leave was to be spent at New Canaan, Conn.,, his old home. The Army order also states that Private Heding will spend his ten days at Two Harbors, Minn.-his home; while Private Jenson got leave to visit Princeton, Minn.-his home.

 Statehood Essential
 Statehood is essential to pro- gress for Alaska" he said, just as it has been for other sections of our country in the past. We have witnessed the Territory's in- ability to grow and prosper in the last 80 years under Territorial status and Federal domination of her resources and people That, in itself, should demonstrate that statehood is necessary
 Rep. Walt Horan tR) of Wen atchee, who also testified for state hood, said: T am happy to have the committee see Alaska, but don't think they needed the trip to ap- reciate the clear logic and earnest ness of testimony advanced at the hearings by Governor Gruening and other informed citizens of the Territory
