MARSHALL iS LEAVING FOR
 CONFERENCE
Secretary of State Faces Problem of Mounting
 Tension with Soviets

WASHINGTON, Nov 20-lR- Secretary of State Marshall leaves for London today to put American policy toward Russia to a new and perhaps crucial test.
 Travelling in President Trumans original plane, the Sacred Cow Marshall scheduled l p. m. (EST) take-off for the Big Four Foreign Ministers conference. His chief travelling companion is Charles E. Bohlen, State Department coun- selor and veteran adviser on So- viet relations.
 Marshalrs announced goal is the same elusive objective of four pre- vious sessions: CD Agreement with Russian Foreign Minister Molotov on a peace treaty with Austria and (2) a decision on at least the main outlines of a German settlement.
 But while those are the immed- fate problems, the underlying issue is the mounting tension between Russia on the one hand and the Western Powers on the other.
 Pointing up that issue, the Brookings institution, a private re- search and education agency, de- clared in a report made public today that a continuation of the present nightmare" of Big Power relations could result in war at any time.
 The previous Foreign Ministers session ended in complete stale mate on both the German and Austrian questions.
 This time, if Russia again balks, France may join the United States and Great Britain in setting up a "trizonal area" engaging their. combined occupation zones in western Germany.
 Russia would be left in control of eastern Germany, but this step would not necessarily mean mak- ing peace with Germany without the Soviets.
 There has been no official sug- gestion that Marshall has adopted the proposal advanced by former Secretary James F. Byrnes and Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) that the Western Powers break the deadlock by writing their OWL peace treaty.
 A trizonal area would promise some of the advantages sought by the United States and Britain in merging their areas earlier this year. These include restoring western Germany to at least part ial self support and shifting limit ec .cvernmenta, authority 70 Ger n,an shoulder

FOUR POINTS OF
 TRUMAN'5 PLAN
 ARE CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-R- The Senate Banking Committee de- cided today to go ahead immed- lately with four rpoint anti-infla- tion program but delayed action on President Truman's request for standby price-wage and limited ra- tioning control power.
 Chairman Tohey ,R-NH1 said ,e committee will begin consideration next week of legislation to continue rent controls, restore installment buying curbs. tighten bank credit and possibly increase margins for buying on the commodity exchang- es.
 These four of the 10-points laid down by MT. Truman in his pro- gram to combat high living costs already have been designated as the subject of hearings by the Senate House Economic Committee.
 Describing the price-wage and ra- tioning recommendations of the President as 'nebulous,' Tobey told a news conference he expects to have more information about what the administration is seeking after 8 conference tomorrow with Trea- sury Secretary Snyder.
 Tobey said he sees no reason why the four subjects chosen by the Banking Committee for hearings which will begin Monday should not be approved in the special ses- sion of Congress.
 He declined to say, however whether bills may be introduced soon on the other six points of the Presidents program.
 Tobey said he believes the people are looking to Congress for quick action to curb the rising cost of living.
 The American people are get ting bitter and ugly over the tragic price range under which they are living today" the New Hampshire Senator declared. "The paramount situation in the country is prices and we in Congress ought to have the guts and the intelligence to find a way to meet this problem. y

The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DleGW PEARSON

WASHINGTON =. Most notable economic achievement of the Roos- evelt administration probably was the Securities and Exchange Com mission, established to protect gull lible investors in the stock market. Even Republican critics admitted such a commission was necessary.
 Working very quietly behind the scenes, however, the money boys have new just about sucked the SEC into the Wall Street groove. Located in Philadelphia, away from the focus of the Washington spot light. the SEC has now become "iust another commission" Much more important, Wall Streeters have carefully wooed SEC Com missioners so that the street now seems to have little to worry about.
 Latest move in Wall Streets SEC infiltration is a plan to Make SEC Commissioner Edward Hanrahan president of the business he is now supposed to regulate. Wall Streeters are secretly seeking to hire him as paid president of the stock ex- change.
 Present head of the stock ex- change is Emil Schram, but his contract contains juicy clause permitting him to resign any time

MEYERS GOES ON STAND IN OWN DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.--tR- Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers branded entirely false' today stor- les of his getting $150,000 from Aviation Electric Company, and swore that Gen H. H. Arnold, then Chief of Army Air Forces, knew about his 1943 aviation stockhold- ings.
 From the witness chair of the Senate War Investigating Com, the retired Air Force Purchasing Officer declared that if given op- portunity he would answer "all the charges" made against him in the committees hearings.
 The first he came to grips with in detail was the testimony of Car mine s. Bellino, Committee Investi- gator, that Meyers owned $35,000 worth of aviation stock in February 1S43 but reported to Air Force superiors in writing that he owned nore
 In summary, Meyers account and contentious on that were:
 His written report was true" because he did not have personal possession" of the stocks. He said he had turned them over earlier to la Rae Curnutt, whom he later married, as collateral for $33,00O he got from her. (Why she had given him the 5000 was not de- veloped).
 2-After he made the written re- port he went to General Arnold and gave him the full facts. Thus, Meyers contended he made a full and complete report to superiors, part of it oral.

ALASKA SHIP (0NTR0vERSY BEING HEARD
Trouble Starts Regarding Cargoes 10 Westward
 2Companies Involved

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-R- A request of the Alaska Trans portation Company that the Mari time Commission cancel temporary authority of the Northland Trans portation Company for service to Alaska was debated yesterday at a conference before the Commission.
 The government established the interim service last spring to re- place wartime government service and is designed to furnish basis for legislation for a permanent ser vice to Alaska.
 Under an agreement between the Northland Company, Alaska Trans portation Company, and the Alaska Steamship Company, the latter was allocated service to western Alaska, and Alaska Transportation and Northland were restricted principal lv to service to southeast Alaska.
 Alaska Transportation contends that Northland violated the agree ment and during the last summer picked up cargoes in western Al aska without getting the consent of Alaska Transportation as re- quired bv tte agreement.
 One Company Operation
 Albert E. Stephan, counsel for Alaska Transportation, contended that Northland is owned by Alaska Steamship Company and the two are in effect one company. He ask ed the Commission to deny privileg- es of the Alaska trade to the North land and allocate to Alaska Steam ship and Alaska Transportation, government ships operated by Northland, and require Alaska Steam and Northland to operate as one company.
 He told the Commission that AL aska shippers have been threatened with loss of steamship service by the Alaska Steamship if they ship ped by the Alaska Transportation Company.
 Ira L. Ewers and Stanley B. Long counsel for Alaska Steamship and Northland told the Commission Alaska Steamship had first re- quested Alaska Transportation to pick up cargoes in western Alaska to speed movement of salmon packs. They said Alaska Steamship had net asked Northland's aid until Alaska Transportation said it could not give the needed service.
 Critical Situation
 Thus by careful planning and efficient use of Northlands avail able tonnage" they told the Com mission, Alaska Steam was able to relieve the critical situation which developed in the latter part of July in all the salmon producing areas Of southwest Alaska
 They contended Alaska Transpor- tation violated the agreement by refusing to cooperate in western quested it, and on those grounds Alaska when Alaska Steamship re- asked the Commission to deny AL aska Transportation operating pri- vileges.
 Stephen also asked that besides taking away from the Northland the privilege to operate as a separ- ate company, the Commission per init Alaska Transportation and AL aska Steam to expand service a.>>l operate to all parts of the Terri tory.
 Ralph Rivers, Attorney General of Alaska. attended the hearing and will be heard by the Commission today.
