Russia Is not nearly so concerned
about the availability OF dollars In
her own economy as are all the
other countries OF Europe. It has
been approximately year now since
q preliminary exchange OF letters

TO Russia stopped and there has
been no practical Soviet move since
to reopen negotiations. Meanwhile
Britain, France and other countries
have considered 1t necessary to OBJ
tain all the dollars possible.
In a news conference Wednesday,
Mr.. Clayton said the essential
trouble which the Marshall plan Is
designed to meet Is dollar shortage
in Europe. He anticipated that
q few months from now most OF the
European countries will not have
enough American dollars to buy the
things which they must import to
live. Russia's economy, however.
Is self-contained.
CIayton Ahead of Schedule,
Mr.. Clayton had said he expected
to get away for Europe early this
week. His departure yesterday In
dicated that he was probably run
ming ahead of schedule. Whether
he planned it that way Jr not, his
scheduled arrival in London today
would put him on the scene at a
critical moment in European eco
nomic and political developments.
Before he left he had lengthy
talks with Gen. Marshall and pre-
sumably knows exactly what Gen.
Marshall has in mind and how far
he believes the United States may
go in underwriting a European re-
covery program.
The purpose Of Mr.. Clayton's trip
is to get him back to Geneva for
the International Trade Conference.
He returned here three weeks ago
to fight wool price support legisla-
ton which he considered contrary
to his economic foreign policy and
the free trade arrangements he has
been seeking at Geneva. This bill
reached President Truman. yester-
day from Congress.

London Paper Sees Chance

LONDON, June 81 (P.-The OBJ
server, influential London weekly
newspaper, declared tonight the
Marshall proposal for aid to Europe
provides the opportunity for merg-

continent and building a firm foun-
dation for permanent European
peace.
Under such a scheme, the OBJ
server declared in a full-page state

pendent in fact that their sovereign
ties must in part become merged. u
"They can do this only on the as
sumption that they will never again

statement said. "Such recognition
of interdependence may be histori-
cally overdue in Europe and con-
dition OF her present survival"

more self-reliant than one without

But official enthusiasm over the
first Russian reaction was greatly
dampened by skepticism as to
whether the Russians really would

the Russians would more likely try

The committee further called at
tention to what it described as the
inequities Of the Districts financial

is concerned. These were:

PICKETS ON DUTY
AT LOCAL OFFICE

Employees of the Southern Bell
Telephone company picketed the
local office in four hour shifts yes
terday carrying placards telling
their demands, as the first day OF
the strike ended quiet and orderly
in Wilmington.
Inside the local office, accomzno-
dations for sleeping and eating
were set up for the managers and
supervisors who prepared to give
Wilmington 24-hour service on
local and emergency long distance
calls.
o. G. Balm, manager OF the local
office, reported that the emer-
gency crews would give 24-hour
service as long as the strike lasts,
and repeated the plea to the pub
lie that for calls requiring an OPP
orator only those of an emergency
nature be placed.
The company is stopping all long
distance calls except those OF
emergency. Balm said last night
that the public had been coop
Grating beautifully" in the ener-
gency measures.
On strict orders from Atlanta
to each office over the nine states
of this division, no one except
employees of the company, with Of
fetal passes, wer permitted in
side the building.
E. C. Drinkard, head Of the
local union, said last night that
the strike sis SO per cent effective
in Wilmington" and that the picket
lines will be kept up until some
agreement is reached.
He also said that all local en-
ployes of the company except one,
who are eligible for union mem
bership, are participating in the
strike.
Employees other than manage
ment and supervisors are eligible
for union membership. The strike
has been orderly and quiet, as
