In Face Of Red Opposition
To Distribution in Zone
BY the Associated Press

A list of $43,O0O,OOO worth of
American relief supplies for Aus
tria was announced by the State
Department today in the midst
of a dispute with Russia over
their distribution.
In all nearly 100000 tons of
supplies are scheduled for shipment
during the three months extending
through September as Austria S
share of the 1892 100000 relief pro-
gram. Some 102,486 long tons OF
wheat and other cereals already has
been shipped.
Without referring to the dispute
with Russia, today's announcement
said the supplies will be distributed
under supervision and control" of
the American mission on the scene,
in accordance with terms of the
June 25 agreement with the Aus
trian government.
u. S. Action Unknown.
1t left unanswered what action
this Government proposes to take
in the face of the Russian refusal
to permit Americans to supervise
distribution in the Soviet occupation
zone.
The State Department., detailing
the supplies to be sent to Austria,
said they were designed to help
provide basic essentials of life which
have to be imported.
About three-fourths of the total
is for food, and much of the balance
represents coal for essential serv-
ices.
Most of the commodities are from
United States markets involving
such surplus items as canned fish
and dried fruit. Because of a fer
tilizer shortage in this country, that
product is expected to be obtained
from Belgium and Czechoslovakia
and some coal will be procured from
Poland Canned fruit juices and
vegetables were omitted because of
their low calorie content, which the
announcement said would make it
difficult to maintain AuStriaS ration
system.
Breakdown of Items.
A breakdown lists these specific
items Con long tons) to be supplied
in the current three month period:
Cereals, 10000: soya -four, 1000;

43 Million in Supplies ; American Soldiers
Listed for Austrian Aid Held by Russians in
Despite Soviet Dispute Korea Since Aug. Il
U. S. Protests Fail to
Obtoin Release; Reds
Refuse Explanation
By The Associated Press

SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 20.-Three
United States Army enlisted men
have been held by the Russians
in Northern Korea since August
IL despite official American pro-
tests, Army intelligence officers
disclosed today.
They said the Russians have re-
fused an explanation and have
ignored two protests from 1t. Gen.
John r. Hodge, American command
er in South Korea, demanding their
release.
The Army identified the three as
T/5 Tommy F. Pugsley, son of Mrs.
Della Jane Pugsley of Renton,
Wash; Pfc. John D. Hoppe, son of
Mrs. Clara Dosman of Seattle, and
Pfc. Gerald K. Gefen, son of Mrs.
Anna Geffen, Port Chester, N. Y.
Intelligence officers said the three
went to the Russian occupied town
of Yohyon-Ni to inspect telephone
lines connecting American head
quarters here with Russian head
quarters at Pyongyang.
- Late in the afternoon of August II
Korean police notified American
headquarters of Kaesong that the
Russians had taken the three into
custody and wanted one American
officer and an Interpreter to come
to Yohyon-Ni, 10 miles north Of
Kaesong, to pick them up. Kaesong
is about 40 miles northwest of Seoul.
Intelligence sources said that
when the officer and Interpreter ar
rived, the Russian officer at Yoh-
yon-Ni told them Soviet headquar-
ters had ordered the three held for
investigation.
In letter telephoned to Rus
sian headquarters August 13, Gen.
Hodge asked 1t. Gen. c. P. Korot-
kov, Soviet commander in Northern
Korea, to return the three, intelll-
gence officers related.
This letter was ignored as was
another message five days later In
which Gen. Hodge expressed grave
concern" over the incident and
added: IT strongly object to the pro-
longed detention Of the three Amer
ican soldiers, who crossed the paral-
lell (the 38th), boundary line be-
tween the zones, in daylight and in

Gen. Harbord Dies;

During World War |

From Private; Headed
RCA After Retirement
By the Associated Press

RYE, N. Y, Aug. 2O.-Lt. Gen.
James G. Harbord, 81, retired,
chief of the A. E. F. service of
supply in World War I, died at
his home here today. He had
been i'll only a short time.
After his retirement from active
service in January, 1922, he became
president of the Radio Corp. of
America and at his death was hon.
orary chairman of the RCA Board.
He had resigned as board chairman
on July II and was succeeded by
David Sarnoff, then RCA president.
Gen. Harbord's first wife, Emma
Yeatman Ovenshine Harbord. died
in 1887. He leaves his second wife,
Mrs. Anna Lee Brown Harbord, and
two step-ctildren, 1t. Col. Lewis
Brown and Mrs. Anne Brown
Whiting, both of Rye.
Gen. Harbord entered in the Army
as an enlisted man. He was No. 2
man in the Army structure, deputy
chief of staff, when he retired in
1922 to become president of Radio
Corp. of America.
He commanded the Marines in
Belleau Wood, the bloodist engage
ment in the history of the corps up
to that time. Costly as it was, it
was an important victory, because
it drove the Germans out of the
strong point they were holding at
the apex of their June, 1918, advance
which was their high tide Of the war.
He went overseas in May, 1917,
with Gen. John J. Pershing as his
chief of staff in the little party that
travelled on the Baltic as regular
paid passengers. He organized the
general staff with the now familiar
designations of GIL. G-2, etc.
Was Given Command.
Gen. Pershing was 10th to let
him go, but in World War I Regu-
lar Army officers desire to be with
troops in the field was a big con-
sideration. He was given command
of the 4th Marine Brigade of the
End Division, the outfit COM
prised of the 5th and 9Th Ma
rine Regiments that distinguished
itself in Belleau Woods. After that
engagement he was made a major
general and given command of the
entire division which also included
an Army brigade with two infantry
regiments, the 9th and the 23rd

British Report Loan
From u. ). Will Be
Spent by November |
Dipping Into Gold and
Dollar Reserves Near,
PurIey Will Be Told
BY the Associated Press

Britain's dollar crisis took on
a fresh note of urgency today
with a report that the $3.50, ,000,-
900 remainder of the American
loan already has been committed
for essential purchases.
AS the Anglo-American Dollar
Conference entered its third day,
diplomatic officials said the British
are ready to confront their Amer
ican colleagues with these asser-
tionS:
/. The last chunk of the $780,
100000 credit now is tentatively ear
marked for purchases of raw mate
rials, food and machinery before
the end of October.
2. Britain may have to start Dip
ping into her gold and dollar re-
serves of $4,000, 100000 unless some
means of slowing the drain of her
scanty supply of dollars is found.
Will Submit Spending Schedule.
British delegates, headed by Sir
Wilfrid Eady, are reported ready to
lay these contentious before Amer
ican officials to back up the London
argument that at least two provi-
sions of the loan agreement should
be revised.
A detailed spending schedule
showing how, when and where the
loan funds have been spent will be
their answer to an American request
for full information before any de-
cisions are reached.
Whether this British approach will
lead to broad discussion of Britain's
over all economic position still is un-
certain in view of the apparent
American determination to stick
strictly to the loan agreement.
Most of the information the
Britons will offer was revealed in
London several weeks ago by Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton
He said then that $1,540, 10000 of
the loan had been spent in the
United States-25 per cent for food,
81 per cent for raw materials, IA per
cent for machinery, IL per cent for
tobacco, II per cent for supplies
needed for Germany, per cent for
ship purchases and per cent for
American films
Technical Groups at Work.
| Several British American technical
/ committees are scheduled to get
down today to the business of ex-
amining the on-discrimination and
the convertibility clauses of the
loan agreements which Britain wants
amended.
Top negotiators passed up meet
ing yesterday to give their tech
nicians chance to prepare work
ing schedules and pave the way for
the complex talk that will precede
any policy decisions.
American officials indicated they
believe the British will concentrate
their efforts on attempts to get the
convertibility clause changed since
this promises the most relief for
Britain. This provision makes it
mandatory for Britain to swap dol
lars for pounds TO any country re-
quesUing them under current trad
ing.
Top-rank American financial ex-
perts are known to regard this as
the main leak in the British eco
nomic dyke, but are uncertain
whether major change can be
made without congressional con-
sent. Congress specified last year
that any alteration must be brought
before it for consideration.
The non-discrimination provision
bars Britain from reducing her pro-
portion of American purchases solely
to save dollars.
