Mo|otov Agrees
With Marshall
On Korea Plan
Wishes Report From
Joint Commission,
Moscow Radio Says
By the Associated Press

| LONDON, Sunday, Aug. "a
The Moscow radio said today
that Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov had agreed to United
States Secretary of State Mar
shalrs proposal for a report from
the deadlocked joint American
Russian Korean Commission.
The broadcast of the text of Gen.
Marshall's letter and Mr.. Molotov's
reply, made without comment, said
MI. Molotov wrote to the Secretary
of State that the Soviet delegate on
the commission had been instructed
to cooperate in drafting a joint
commission report of the state of
its work so that each government
could Immediately discuss steps
which could be useful to accomplish
the purposes of the Moscow de-
cision."
Mr.. Molotov suggested that the
commission limit its consultations
with political parties and social or
CARNATIONS to those whose member
ship exceeds 10000, arguing that
hearings for smaller groups would
delay the work for many months"
and delay the ablishment of
Korean government.
Stringent Restrictions Charged.
Recalling that Gen. Marshall had
asked that there be no restriction
of freedom of expression, Mr.. Molo-
tov charged that "the parties and
organizations of Southern Korea
supporting the Moscow decision are
being subjected by American au-'
thorities in Southern Korea to most
stringent restrictions and heavy
persecution, which contradicts demo-
cratic principles and absolutely runs
counter to the decisions of the Mos
COW conference"
1.-The premises of such parties and
organizations" he continued, ARE
seized by police authorities. their
leaders and members arrested and
their press organs suppressed"
Gen. Marshall's letter, which the
Soviet radio said was dated August
IL, asked that the joint commission
report by August 81.
Stalled on Consultations.
The joint United States-Soviet
commission in Korea has been
stalled in its efforts to determine
the Koreans wishes as to their
future government by sharp dis
agreement on which groups of
Koreans should be consulted.
The Soviet commission members
have rejected American proposals
that the Russian consult North
Koreans and the American consult
South Koreans, both unilaterally
or that the full commission con-
suit any one the Russians chose
and the American alone consult
with South Koreans Objectionable
to the Russians.
United States forces occupy
Korea south of the 38th parallel,
and the Russians occupy oKrea
north of that line.

are punished as miSdemeanors with

The prosecutor said he called the
conference to learn the problems in
volved in dealing with these Offend
ers from the medical. enforcement
and imprisonment standpoints. He
explained that he wanted to be sure
all contingencies are covered in sub
hitting a proposed salute.
Mr.. Bennett said he would make
studies conducted by psychiatrists
and prison authorities on this sub
ject available to Mr.. Fay.

ton here and from contacts with

Out That Foreign Aid

By the Associated Press
The United States Government
is apprehensive, it was indicated
last night, that Communist
dominated guerrilla forces may
try to seize control of the Greek
government with foreign sup
port.
10y w. Henderson, director of
the State Departments office of
Near Eastern affairs, spoke of that
possibility in a radio broadcast even
as the Greek coalition government
fell in bitter dissension over plans
to reshuff1e key posts.
Before he went on the air:
!. Reporters were given to under
stand that there is some American
optimism over the prospects of get
tign a new, more efficient Athens
regime which can, with American
help, speed restoration of Greek
economy
2. In formal statement, the
State Department accused the
Greeks three northern neighbors-
Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia-
of supporting the guerrilla warfare
in Greece, and repeated it's con-
tention that international action is
necessary to maintain Balkan peace
Pretext for Assistance.
! Mr.. Henderson appeared on the
NBC networks foreign policy broad
vast-a regular Saturday night fea
ture-with George c. McGhee, CO.
ordinator for the American aid pro.
gram to Greece and Turkey which
has been accelerated in recent weeks
to meet the threatening crisis.
Although the broadcast obviously
was prepared in advance of the
Greek cabinet collapse, Mr.. Hender-
son declared that formation OF
clandestine free government
might be seized upon as a pretext
by other countries to furnish more
assistance to the guerrillas with some
cover of legality"
Mr.. Henderson said also that
United Nations attempts to halt
the civil strife have been consist
emily INSTRUCTED by Russian Veto
He made it plain that United
States efforts to obtain international
intervention have not ended and
will be pressed next month before
the United Nations General Assem-
bly, where Russia cannot exercise
it's veto powers. Any decisions the
assembly may make, however. will
be in the nature of recommendations
only.
Need for Drastic Action.
Mr.. Henderson said that if "a
serious situation develops in Greece
before the General Assembly meets,
drastic action, will be necessary.
He added:
eff that action is taken by men,
bers of the United Nations in sup
port of the charter principles it
should not, and will not, mean that
the United Nations is being by
passed"
That point-previously made by
Herschel Johnson on behalf of the
United States before the Security
Council early this month, also
pointed to the possibility of an
American request for international
action outside the U. N. to halt
the civil strife"
Mr.. McGhee disclosed that June
30, 1913, has been set as target
date" for completing reconstruction

The War Assets Administra-
tons labor policy hoard has

quoddy, Me, power project into
a training school for displaced
persons unless the sponsors
meet certain conditions" a labor
union official said last night.
The official. who asked that his
name not be used, said the board
a labor advisory group, has sent its
decision to WAA chief Robert NJ
Littlejohn, saying it would not ap-
prove the proposal unless the spon.
sors agree that:
l. The proposed school, for dis
placed persons from the American
zone of Germany, be supervised by
an appropriate" Federal agency
such as the United States Office Of
Education;
2. Any training program offered be
made available on equal terms tc
American war veterans and other
American citizens, and
8. The training courses follow spe-
cifications for apprentice training
set up by the Labor Department.
Other Projects Proposed.
III event these conditions are not
met, the official said. the board rec
commended that consideration be
given to two other proposals fol
puttinf the abandoned Government
owned tidal power project to use
One plan calls for use of the prof.
ect for establishment of a college
The other proposes that Passama
quoddy village be used to house
workers brought to the area by

The town of Eastport, under

turn in over to a nonprof1t syndi'
cate for the training Of displaced

The syndicate, headed by Franz
Cohen, New York and Philadelphia
tractor manufacturer, would impor
displaced persons, train them fol
six months in various homemakine
and technical skills and then senc
them to South America.
Protest Started Probe.
The WAA labor policy board:
recommendations stem from a pro
test against the Eastport propose
sent Mr.. Littlejohn by Harvey w
Brown, president OF the Interna
tional Association of Machinist'
independently, last month. MI
Brown protested that tractors
which he said would be assembled
at the training school, would b.
shipped abroad for sale in compe
tition with those manufactured b.
firms with union labor contracts.
The union official said MI
Browns protest was referred to tn
advisory group which made its rec
concentrations after studying detail
of the training school proposal. Tn
labor policy board includes repre-
sentatives from jor labor unions
including the CLIO and AFL.
WAA and Labor Department Off
Gals and sponsors of the training
school plan are scheduled to stud
the proposal at a meeting here Mon
day.

STOCK REC0VERIESI
BEST SINCE JULY.
Year-End Tax Selling May
Bring Large Reinvest-
ment Demand

NEW YORK. Dec. 13. -tR-
The stock market today finish
ed it's best recovery week since
last July with leaders extending
the advance fractions to point
or more on the fastest Saturday
dealings in about seven months.
The direction was upward
from Monday on with profession
al short covering and other buy
ing attributed to the belief that
tapering Of year-end tax selling
would be succeeded by large
scale reinvestment demand
which would prlng substantial
upswing later in December.
Many customers, however, held
aloof because Of skepticism re-
garding Washington anti in
flation moves and foreign af-
fairs. Waning disturbances in
France and Italy frightened the
international picture market
wise as the week ended.
The associated press 60-stock
composite for the day was up
a of a point at 64.2 where it
had more than wiped out the
relapse of the preceding week.
For the six sessions the index
showed net gain of IL points,

July 8. It was the broadest two

Gain Since July

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. -|R-
Railroad issues finished the
week on d rising note in the
bond market today.
Trailing after advancing stock
prices. the carriers showed the
first average week-to-week gam
since July. Mark-ups during the
short session were mainly frac-
tiona1, a few topping a point.
Trade bulked comparatively
large in two American telephone
issues, as has been the case dur
ing the week, without nudging
prices very far one way OF the
other.
World bank IS, a popular sell
ing target for months, recouped
6-32 of recent losses at SO 6-32.
The short-term 2 las were un-
traded.
The improvement in the car
rier division, small as it was
for the week, suggested to some
observers that investors were
finally tempted by prices to
which many issues have been
pounded since early August.
Demand was apparently
heightened too, by the possibill-
ty that the Interstate Com
merce commission will grant all
or part of requested boost IN
freight rates. In this connection,
market men studied the latest
report of 1870 class l carriers to
the ICC. For the first nine
months the railroads reported
net operating income Of 1857,
744,353, against 1866, 6,8l9, 1879 in
