WHY RUSSIA FEARS MARSHALL PLAN

Success at Paris would have
been a momentous surprise. The
failure, though hardly a surprise,
is momentous. The general ex-
pectation of disagreement be-
tween England and France on
the one hand and Russia on the
other does strangely little to
cushion the impact of Mr.. Molo-
tov's No" on h e worlds
wearying hope.
The problems confronting the
Three-Power discussions of the
Marshall Plan were complex.
Bu, Messrs. Bevan, Bidault and
Molotov did not lose each other
in a labyrinth. The Paris meet
ing foundered on one big, simple,
elemental misconception. That
misconception colored-no, die
tated-everything Mr.. Molotov
said.
And from what he said it is
clear that the Kremlin is as yet
incapable of understanding the
motivation of the Marshall Plan.
Moscow can understand it only
in terms of conflict. Mr.. Mol
otiv's words showed again and
again that the Marshall program,
and the Paris meeting in which
Russian participation was sought,
appeared to Russian leadership
only as steps in a contest-an
American-Russian contest-f o r
leadership of Europe. We need
not press the point to find suffic-
lent reason for failure at Paris.
Successful operation of the
Marshall Plan on a continent
wide basis would carry the evil
dence of American economic
power and the abundant fruitage
of American free enterprise deep
into the Russian orbit. 1t would
not be possible for the Russians
to obscure the source of this
peacetime Lend-Lease, as they
did with much wartime Lend
Lease. Nor would it be possible
for them to match the quantity,
much less the quality, of Ameri-
can aid to Europe. For while
it might seem to Europeans even
that there were not really two
comparably great Powers in the
world, after all.
Everything that Mr.. Molotev
said at Paris underscored the
Russian fear that tho U mite d
States would use it's economic
power to establish political con-
troll of Europe. The diplomatic
thinking back of that view is too

TENAkEE NATIVE FALLS OFF DOCK;
 FAILS TO REVIVE

David Howard, 30, of Tenakee, was drowned last night when he apparently lost balance and fell off the Juneau Cold Storage Dock about 6:45 o'clock. His body was recovered about 20 minutes later through the efforts of three men in a skiff from a fishing boat tied up at the nearby City Float. The men caught Towards clothing with a boat book after diving efforts of Bill Warner employee of Chas. G. Warner, failed to locate the body.
 Members of the Juneau Fire De- partment applied artificial respira- tion for over an hour and half before giving up their vain at tempts to revive the dead man. He was officially pronounced dead at 8:35 pm. by pr. c. c. Carter who was called to the scene of the accident.
 Towards body was brought to the City Float for the life saving effcrts. A large crowd lined the rim of the Juneau Cold Storage Dock to watch the Bremen work on the lifeless body.
 Confusion about the location of the call delayed the arrival of the Fire Department at the scene. A 2-5 call was enormously sounded instead of the proper IT ring. The Police Department in the mean time, had received the proper in- formation and arrived at the scene immediately.
 Towards body was taken to the Charles w. Garter Mortuary where it is waiting for arrangements to be made for the burial. Howard was a crew member of the fishing boat Florence at the time Of his death.

German Coal Miners Strike

ESSEN, Germany, (P) - Four thousand Ruhr coal miners at Dortmund struck Saturday in the latest German demons r i o n against short food rations.
 It was the first such action since unrest over the food situation de veloped several days ago.
 Hunger strikes and marches by an estimated 5O0,00O persons have taken place here in the last two days and an angry demonstration occurred Friday at Duesseldorf, where crowds upset and stoned British military vehicles.
 There are approximately 250,000 coal miners in the Ruhr valley.
 Some 10000 persons including railway and wagon factory work CTS marched through the streets of Krefeld, on the west bank of the Rhine, waving banners protesting food shortages. A similar demon stration was planned later today in the coal center of Duisburg. A pro- test was cancelled at Cologne. Official figures compiled by the British-operated north German coal control office showed sig nificant decrease in Ruhr coal pro- duction during the restless period of demonstrations, although most miners so far have obeyed union Instructions to remain at work.
 The 4,0OO strikers who returned to work said they would walk out again tomorrow if their food de- mands were not met. The miners said their families were getting barely two-thirds of the standard . 1850 daily calory ration estab- lished in the British and Ameri- can zones.
