Hitler Feared U. s. B-29 Planes
By Richard O'Reganl

F. lNkFURT, Germany, CP)- Auoif Hitler had a terrible fear of the American B-29 superfortres ss bomber in the last months of the war and amazing lack of faith in his own V-WeaponS, charred rec Ords of his secret staff conferences showed today.
 The partly burned stenOgraphic transcripts of his wartime confer ences, captured by the U. s. army and released here, disclosed Hitler told Hermann Goering and mem bers of the army general staff Jan. 10, l945:
 Things are such that the Amer ican B-29 now is in action. The JapaneS have seen them already. 1 feel great danger, and one can not weigh this danger too lightly. The B29 bomber can be Ger many'S destruction"
 The B-29 never appeared in Flu rope during the war, but Hitler's repeated references to them show ed he feared them perhaps even more than the approaching armies of the Allies.
 Even now" he told luftwaffe chief GOering, blasting the fat field marshal for fiddling around with the construction of out-of- date fighter planes, 'the enemy planes come like a parade, and when the big ones come, German planes will literally enter a hail storm of fire"
 He said German planes would be moved down ruthlessly.

 Vandenberg told representative of the 2l American republics he hopes this tightening of "continen- tai fellowship" can be accomplish ed soon.
 "The 22nd chair has been empty long enough" the Michigan Sena- tor said in an address prepared for ceremonies commemorating the 57th anniversary of the founding of the Union.
 By every rule of righteousness she (Canada) is eligible to this as- sociation," Vandenberg said. By every rule of reason we should wish her here. I would welcome the final and total new world unity which will be nobly dramatized when the 22nd chair is filled and our continental brotherhood is complete from the Arctic Circle to Cape Horn"

Phone Tickets Will Fight Back

SEATTLE, (P)-Arne Craven, field organizer for the national federation of telephone workers, said he would protest to officials of an oil company which delivered a truckload of heating oil to the main office of the Pacific Tele- phone and Telegraph company yesterday and precipitated the first clash between picketS and phone company supervisory en- ployees.
 Craven said the pickets were pushed and shoved' by the super visory workers, and If this sort of thing continues, peaceful picketing in the Seattle strike may become a thing of the past"
 Telephone company officials de- clined comment.
 Dave Beck, international vice president of the AFL teamsters union, said last night he knew nothing of the incident but had given orders that teamsters were to carry out deliveries under ex- iSting contracts"

Wallace Blasts
 U. s. "Imperialism'

MANCHESTER, Eng. CP)-Hen- y A. Wallace charged Saturday that the U. $. had embarked on a program of ruthless imperialism 7" and declared that the program must fail because Americans will never pay the cost and they cannot pay the cost"
 In an attack on President Tru- mans proposals for aid to Turkey and Greece, at a public meeting in this Midlands industrial center Wallace said Americas present program If unchecked" would stretch the American empire from China to the Near East and from pole to pole.
 This position of ruthless i'm perialiSm is the position which all groups blinded by hatred of Rus sia must ultimately defend" the former vice president and cabinet member declared, adding: Tt may cost little to divide the world, but to keep the world divided is be yond the resources of any nation. ''
 Here on the first leg of a speak ing tour, Wallace said the '. $. was controlled "by men who be lieve that in a world in which cap italism and Communism live side by side there is little hope for peace"
 They believe" he said, that the United Nations is doomed to insignificance. They believe tha. Communism threatens the world and must be stopped by Amcrlcar material and arms"
 But, Wallace said, we cannot buy off world Communism any more than we can suppress the idea of Communism by force of arms. No free people will be bought-no unfree people will stay bought"

SOviets Demand Large Preparations Or No Treaty
By John M. Hightower)

MOSCOW, lP)-A. Y. Vishinsky Sovle; deputy foreign minister, made it clear Saturday that in his opinion Russia never would accept German settlement without rep arations payments to the Soviet Union from current production, on large scale.
 Vishinsky, right hand may of Soviet foreign minister V. M. Mol otov, said acceptance by the United States of the principle of current separations was the thing i've have been fighting for" in the council of foreign ministers.
 Vishinsky told a news confer ence-the first held by a Soviet official since the foreign ministers conVened-that this lack of agree ment on the approach to repara- tlOnS was the foremost difficulty between the western powers and the Soviet union.
 The Soviet deputy made this statement as the four-poWer coun- cil resumed it's discussion of cur rent political problems and pro cedures for writing the German treaty after deadlocking Friday night on the question of Germany's western frontier with France.
 "A treaty without reparations," Fishjnsky said, lis the same thing as man without heart"
 He said he welcomes secretary of state MarShalPs recent sugges- ton that if capital plants earmark- ed for capital separations were left in Germany, some current rep arations might be agreed to. He added, however, that he could not state what Marshall actually had in mind. Here Vishinsky evidently was referring to the amount of such separations.
 Vishinsky also disclosed that the Soviet Union was depending upon current production reparations in carrying out five-year-plans for

bombers as a major military

Whether Congress will be

preparations for military re-
search over the next few years
remains to be seen.
The armed forces got all the
