1st Division.
"At lis on the morning of April
S." a brief Marine statement said,
"a dissident force of unknown num-
bers attacked the 1st Marine Divi-
sion ammunition supply point near
Tangku.
by $50 this force was being pur-
sued northward by Marine forces.
Five Marines were killed and 16
wounded in fighting off the the at
tack"
While this said the Marines were
pursuing their assailants, subse-
quent reports indicated the engage
ment was broken off when the Chi
nese dispersed.
Wounded Taken to Tientsin.
The wounded were taken by plane
to the Marine hospital at Tientsin.
All names were withheld pending
notification of kin.
1t was the biggest toll of Marines
exacted by armed clashes since the
Americans moved back into North
China after Japan's surrender.
Last July 20, three Marines were
killed and IL were wounded by a
Communist ambush between Tient-
sin and Peiping. The Communists
admitted this attack but maintained
the Marines were the aggressors.
Hsinho, scene of the fighting, is
the last station before Tangku on
the Tientsin- -Tangku Railway. Tang
ku serves as the coastal railhead for
the Peiping- Tientsin Railway.
The attack occurred just three
days before 369 Americans of the
disbanded truce headquarters at
Peiping were scheduled to board a
train for Tangku on the way back
to the United States.
Marking sources said the attack
might prompt the Americans to fly
to Tangku, but truce headquarters
officials In Peiping said there was
no immediate intention of changing
plans.
The assault also followed by three
days the announcement of Admiral
Charles M. Cooke, jr., commander
of United States forces of the West
ern Pacific, that the Marines were
being withdrawn from North China
as rapidly as possible.
An estimated 5000 to 10000 Ma
rines still are in North China. Sew
eral thousand of these are likely to
remain at Tsingtao, the Shantung
province port to the south.

formants estimate would cost Aus
tria about $20,000,000. The Ameri-
cans contend this would hamper
the economic rehabilitation of the
country.
Some western diplomats predicted
that if the Big -Four Foreign Min
listers fail to agree on Germany-as
1t appears they may-the United
States and Britain would make new
efforts to pull the French into the
existing American-British economic
merger of German occupation zones.
Some evidence was seen that the
three western nations were drawing
more closely together. French
sources talking privately with re-
porters have called to their atten-
ton French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault's occasional agree
ments with Gen. Marshall's pro-
posals. Americans and British have
tried so hard to meet Mr.. Bidault's
demand for German coal, said some
officials, that an agreement on this
issue seems assured.
Though their progress seemed to
have, reached near standstill, the
Ministers we're scheduled to return

man government.
They skipped the meeting set for
last night because the committee
to prepare an agenda on political
principles was not ready with it's re-
port.
The British were reported trying
to force a showdown discussion on
the government problem, but most
diplomats were agreed that no effec-
tive moves to set up central gov
ernment in Germany could be made
until basic economic questions had
been settled.
Economic Groups Recessed.
This fact was seen as highlighting
the extent Of the stalemate blocking
any action on current German prob
lems-which would be merely pre-
liminary to work on German peace
treaty.

Back Greek Aid plan
By ihe Assoeiotsd Hrsss

MOSCOW, April 5.--Eugene Tar1e,
Soviet academician. says Senator
Vandenberg's proposed amendment
to the United States Greek Turkish
aid bill is @an extraordinary. trans
parent maneuver to get United Ma
tionS authority for the new Ameri-
can policy"
Mr.. Tarle, political historian, who
sometimes writes for Izyestia, ad-
vanced this opinion In a public lec-
ture last night. He said Senator
vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan offered the amendment after
the initial response to President
Truman's proposal had given way to
a powerful protest movement.
tThis amendment, submitted in
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee hearing in Washington
Monday, would direct the PreSi-
dent to withdraw aid to Greece
and Turkey authorized under the
$400, ,000, 600 bill IF requested by
procedural vote in the Security
Council or a majority vote in the
General Assembly Of the United
Nations" among other conditions.
The committee adopted modi-
hcation of this before approving
the bill Thursday
~Provocation" Charged.
Mr.. Tarle said the Greek Turkish
program was "provocation" against
the Soviet Union; saw movement
in the United States for war
against Russia" but added that the
American people would always be
our friends"
Citing the American press as his
authority, he said Americans who
would like to settle accounts with
Russia had come to realize that any
war begun by the United States
would not have decisive results be~
cause in reply to the first atomic
bombs the Russians would occupy
all Europe and then could not be
disloged even with destruction OF
the continent.
Mr.. Tarle said the United Nations
would hardly wish to take upon
itself the responsibility for the Tru-
man program and the British did
not support the program because it
was aimed also against British in
huence in the countries concerned
and elsewhere in the Mediterranean
and Near East.

Eastern Europe Follows Kremlin.
Discussing what he termed the
basic cause behind President Tru-
mans speech recommending the
aid, Mr.. Tarle dwelt on American
reaction to the fact that postwar
Eastern European countries were
closely following the policy of the
Kremlil'." He said they were doing
this of their own free will. This,
he added, to certain degree makes
Russia invulnerable from the west.
He then reviewed the rise of
what he described as an anti-Rus-
sian campaign in the United States

area. In the days when Turkey was
a backward country ruled by the
sultans these schools spread western
democratic ideas and offered Turk
isf. youth an intellectual diet that
was not available anywhere else in
their own country.
The prestige of these schools was
enhanced by the fact that the United
States never has had Interior mo-
tives in its dealings with the Turk
ish Empire. 1t did not attempt to
obtain any privileged position in
order to milk the country for the
benefit of special interests. The
schools were created by missionaries
whose chief interest was to- spread

Received With Open Arms.
There are thousands of educated
Turks today in prominent positions
in this country who are graduates
of American colleges Both PreSi-
dent Inonu's private secretary and
his assistant are graduates of Robert
College. A good proportion OF the
Assembly and many doctors and
educators are graduates of American
educational institutions. Thus when
the USIS came to Turkey to tell the
people what America is and what
it stands for, it was received with
open arms.
The other reason for the success
Of USIS is that it is working in what
could be called virgin territory in
the cultural and propaganda field.
The Turks have little art, literature
and music Of their own, and are in
dustrially undeveloped. In the past,
France was the center from which
the Turks absorbed their notions
about western culture. But France
is now weak and little respected by
the peoples of the East. Her weak
ness as undermined her cultural
influence.

Macy 5 Head Urges
Public and Business
To Seek Price Cuts
By fhs Associated Press

NEW YORK, April SACK /.
Straus, president of Macy.s. the
worlds largest department store,
yesterday appealed to the public, to
manufacturers and retailers ia COM
bine their efforts to reduee prices.
At press conference an1otncing
that the store would call for d joint
effort to lower prices in an adver-
tisement to appear in New York
newspapers today. Mr.. Straus said /:
This is not Macy problem-it is
a countrywide problem We hope
the pattern set today will be taken
up by newspapers and business or
ganizations throughout the country"
Has to Be Change Of Mind"
Asserting that present prosperity
cannot be sustained at present price
levels" he added that the public
still has extensive needs for all kinds
Of merchandise and ample resources
to sustain purchasing power and full
employment at reasonably lowered
price levels.
To maintain the volume Of retail
transactions which we know at the
present is not being sustained" Mr..
Straus said there has to be a
change of mind of everybody in the
business cycle"
I'VE don't believe that the manu-
facturer alone should carry the
burden of pairing profit margin" !"
he added. Retail markups as well
must contribute to these special
values during the transition period"
The Macy advertisement urges the
consumer to shop thoroughly before
buying.
No Longer q Shortage.
'There is no longer a general
shortage of merchandise. Buy when
and where you are convinced you
are getting your moneys WORTH"
the ad said. You, by your indi-
vidual purchase, complete the proc
ess which in total sets the price
and determines the level of the
American standard of living"
1t stated that profit margins In
many cases are higher than normal
and added:
"These profit margins, when pyra-
mided from primary sources
through the retailer, are a sub
stantial part of price rises. If, on
the part of every one, from primary
sources through the retailer, there
is willingness to forego abnormal
profits, prices can come down.
Our economy can be supported
only by high production and high
wages. Through high production
prices can come down"

Commissioner Scott Urges
Farmers To Diversity Crops

Appearing on the citizens for
nm of the air, Scott covered a
wide variety of subjects, ranging
from the feed and fertilizer short
ages to the good health program
and disclosure of a new federal
state marketing agreement.
The state agriculture chief
predicted that Tar Heel growers
would be faced with a $75, ,00O,O 900
drop in tobacco income this year
and should expect further $780,
100000 shrinkage in returns next
year, due to new acreage reouc-
tions and lower prices.
On the other hand, Scott fore
saw the possibility of dollar a

, as a result Of this years short
grain crop.
After noting that the grain
shortage was the result of drought
in the midwest and heavy grain
shipments to Europe, the agricul-
ture commissioner asserted:
"This years short grain crop
will mean higher priced feeds,
and that, in turn, means higher
priced food. Higher priced food
means that the price of food in
gradients will continue to rise. !"
Asked to recommend a course
of action to golden weed growers,
Scott first advised farmers to
help protect their export market
by giving "wholehearted sup
port" to the tobacco associates
organization, and then observed:
eve should this fall sew the
largest grain crop and next
spring plant the largest corn crop
in the history of our state. Ger
tainly, the largest portion of the
land taken out of tobacco should
90 to corn and other feed crops.
And there will also be some
changeover to peanuts, potatoes
and cotton"
Scott expressed the pelief that
the average cut in tobacco acre
age next year would be about Is
per cent. He predicted five per
cent increase in fertilizer supply,
but said North Carolina farmers,
who use one-eighth of the ferti-
lizer sold in the United States,
would be forced to buy their
fertilizer early due to limited
storage facilities and heavy de-

the past week for Little had
stormed into the clubhouse aft
err their 34-14 loss to Penn, his
alma mater, a week ago. No
body was present except the
players, but the general tone
of the TRADE was that the Lions
had surrendered before the
fight started.
This time it was different. 1t
was the day every football
team in the U.S.A. had been
waiting for, every team, that
is, except Army.
Tackle Hank O'Shaughnessy,
who became the father of a
daughter Thursday, walked
over to Little and handed out a
cigar.
"That's what I have been
waiting for" he told the coach.
That was what Little had
been waiting for too. Not the
cigar, but the win over the Ca
diets because he thought he had
a pretty fair ball club last year,
too, but was beaten by Army,
48. IA.
Years ago when Little gradu-
ated from Penn after two years
as a All-America tackle on the
teams selected by the late
Walker Camp, he had a finan-
cial problem. He was a left
handed dentist and needed spe-
cial equipment for his work.
Despite losses to Yale and
Penn it looks as though Little
has done better than all right
this year too.

Va, Oct. rs -
R-The general feeling around
the Southern Conference today
was that Dukes Blue Devils,
league flag winners six times
during the II previous seasons
Wallace Wade has guided their
football fortunes, will rack up
crown no. 7 before the 1947 grid
iron derby is history.
The Dukes, exploding their
best offensive fireworks in a
fourth-quarter rally, jumped
one of their biggest hurdles Sat
urday when they managed to
squeeze by previously-unbeate
Wake Forests Deacons, 1876, in
the loops no. l thriller of the
weekend.
Wade, a quiet, unassuming
sort of a fellow, natur ally, isn't
standing around making any
predictions for the Blue Devils
still have two conference tests
ahead - South Carolina on No
vember Is and North Carolina
on November %.
Too, the cold master" was
busy today working on a little
matter-to put it mildly - that
comes up this Saturday at At
lanta - undefeated and united
Georgia Tech. The Dukes have
battled Georgia Tech 10 times
since Wade became head coach
in 1881 and have come up out
on top in seven.
Of course, there are those
who believe that the Blue
Devils are still a long way
from holding any pennant-win'
ming celebrations at Durham
N. C.-namely such other pow
erhouses as Wake Forest, Viii
liam and Mary, Washington
and Lee, North Carolina ane
one or two others.
