 TO AMERICA
Sober Report Is Made on Failure of London Confer
 enee by Sety. of State

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-R- Secretary Of State Marshall to- day handed America the job of helping Western Europe reach the high level of economic recovery which he said is probably the only way to force a lasting peace on hostile Russia.
 In sober report on the fail- ure of the London Foreign Min isters' conference. Marshall said there is a direct relation between Russ.a's Illustration tactics in London and her frank declaration of hostility to the S17,000. .0OO, 900 European aid plan bearing his name
 Il the Marshall Plan succeeds he said, it will fill political vacuum" created by the war and result in forms of government which guarantee true freedom, op- portun.ty to the individual, and protection against the terror of governmental tyranny"
 Communist leaders openly pre- dict that this restoration will not take place the Secretary said in his radio address last night, and added:
 Until the result of this struggle becomes clearly apparent thera will continue to be a very real diff eulty to resolve even on paper agreed terms for a treaty of peace.' Marshall spoke from his State Department office only few hours after his return from London, and shortly after President Truman had presented the Marshall Plan to Congress.
 The Secretary repeatedly blamed Foreign Minister Molotov for fail- ure of Britain, France, the United States and Russia to reach agree ment on the German and Austrian peace treaties.
 T realize that the many lengthy statements and the frequent and fundamental d.sagreements were very confusing to the general pub lic,' he said.
 This was, as a matter of fact, one of the purposes ol these at tacks."

PRESIDENT
 HANDED BIG
 AIDAM0UNT
Congress Votes 552 Mil. lions for European Pro-
 cram : Session Ended

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-lR- Congress today handed President Truman a S522, ,OOo, 900 aid fund for France, Austria and Italy as the main fruit Of 33-day special ses- sion
 Along with it went Republican, sponsored bill calling for voluntary measures by business and agricul- ture to combat cost of living ln- creases at home while relieving want abroad
 The stopgap relief fund, approv- ed just before adjournment last night. was S75,00o,000 less than the administration wanted to buy food, fuel and fertilizer for the three Flu ropean nations during the winter months.
 It had Jared far better during it's trip through Congress, however, than the Presidents ten-point anti-inflation program featuring standby wage, price and rationlng controls, which met with a Con gressional thumbs down.
 The appropriation bill carried in addition to the European aid money, an S18,000,G00 grant to China. The administration had made no such request but the Senate decided to toss it in as a sign of support for Chiang Kali shek's battle against the Chinese Communists.
 In it final form the bill also provided 100000 to meet occu- patton and relief costs for Ameri- can forces, in Germany, Japan and Korea. a compromise figure worked out by a House-Senate conference committee.
 The State and Army departments had asked $490,000, 900 for these purposes and the Senate allowed the iull amount The House, which had voted a $26O,o00,000 cut, final ly settled for one of S150000,000
 There was one other major last minute dispute between the two Chambers. It was over the amount of wheat flour and wheat products which must be retained in the United States on July l, when the new crop year begins.
 The House put this at l50,000 900 bushels over strong administration protests. The Senate voted to let President Truman reduce the total to 125 100000 bushels on March l. The House figure finally was ac- cepted by Senate conferees.
 Then Chairman Taber (R-NY) of the House Appropriations Com- mittee hurried back to the House floor and won approval of the bill by vote of 233 to 2. The Senate accepted it on a voice vote.
 Within a lew moments-at TIA D. m. CEST) the Senate had pass ed an adjournment resolution. The House quit at 7:32 p. m., and the session which began Nov. IT was over
 The regular session will begin next January 6, with main interes, centered on the S17,000, 100000 Mar shall Plan for long range Europ- can recovery and a COP bill to cut taxes $5,6OO,OO0.0OO year.

NEW PERIL
 FOR SHIPS
 ON PACIFIC
High Seas Are Raging with Gusts of Wind 10 5
 Miles Reported

HONOLULU, Dec. 20 - tPl = A North Pacific storm placed at least three ships ill new peril today.
 High seas which had buckled deck plates, stove in hatches and jammed rudders further battered the 7,176- ton s. s. James F Harrell. the 10,- l72-ton Army tanker Fl Caney and the lO3-ton Army barge BSP-866. In all, six ships have felt the fury of two storms this week but one is safe in an Aleutian harbor and two others are believed out of the path of this latest storm which has gusts up to 75 miles.
 The Harrell, latest to run into trouble, radioed the Coast Guard here it had three matches stove in, a foot or more of water in the hold and a wet and swelling cargo of maize.
 The number aboard the Harrell was not given. It's position was about APO miles southwest of Adak in the Aleutians.
 Runs Before Gale
 The master of the Harrell radioed he was forced to run before the gale because the anger from the ex- banding cargo was in the forehold.
 The Coast Guard cutter Iroquois, which was racing to the rescue of the stricken Simon Benson, was l. coo miles away but direct on the Harrell'5 course.
 The Army barge BSP-866. with possibly 10 or more crewmen aboard, ran into trouble about 250 miles west of Adak off Amchitka with portholes smashed, the galley flood ed and the cargo shifted. Two tugs were enroute to the scene. On Rim of Storm South of these two troubled ships and about 200 miles from Midway the Fl Caney with a crew of 42 was under tow and right on the rim of the storm.
 The ship lost it's ruuder Tn an other storm earlier this week. It was taken in tow about $50 miles south west of Adak and was making its way slowly toward Midway.
 The Simon Benson, 7,176 tonner with a hull cracked by the same storm which hit the Fl Caney, was heading for Honolulu under it's. owr power and was believed out of the path of the new blow. Far to the west and out of the way limped fifth ship, the 7,606- ton Middlesex Victory. It was an- route to Japan and was last re- ported nearing the Kuriles. It re- ported Is cracks in deck plates from the storm earlier this week. Another small Army cargo shiI reached Adak yesterday after strik- ing a rock in the Aleutians.

To The President of
 The French Republic, Paris. Dear MT President:
 I have come to France because I felt I owed it to the millions of Americans who contributed to the Friendship Train to report on how this food was collected and the motives behind it. I am mere ly acting as spokesman for many others who would like to be here but can't
 This is difficult report to make, difficult because it is almost lm- possible to translate into words the feeling in mems hearts.
 To begin at the beginning, the idea of the Friendship Train took root about two months ago when many Americans were perturbed that our Congress was slow and niggardly about helping our friends in Europe. So it was proposed that train be started in California with perhaps one boxcar and, let ting the plain people of the coun- try contribute food, pick up other boXcars of food as the train moved across the continent to the Atlan- tic.
 A committee was formed, headed by Harry Warner and including representatives of farmers, labor unions, businessmen and service clubs. The railroads said they would be glad to haul the train free and that was how the Friend ship Train started. It was just an idea-but an idea founded on international friendship.

cts plowed extensively into the
Frederick line last Friday to I'M
tangle in 6-6 tie.
With a few minutes left in the
first quarter, Ward Fetrow on a
long end run, took the ball up to
the five yard line. The next play
found AL Wratten plunging
through the line to score for Rock
vile. Jim Nicholson in the kick
ing role, failed to convert, missing
by foot. Play rocked back and
forth with no score until the
fourth quarter.
Seven minutes left in the game
a freak play occurred on a bad
center, which sailed off the finger
tips of "Nick" into the end zone
to be recovered by Frederick fol
a touchdown. Their point was also
missed, leaving the score in &C
deadlock.

Before capacity crowd of some
500 spectators, the largest ever to
witness baseball game at Welsh
Field, Rockville upset Colesyille 2
to l on Sunday, October IL. Rock
ville's country version of Joe Di-
Maggie, centerfielder Jerry Fanny
letta, took top billing as the dou-
be feature of the day, to homer
with Johnny Orrison on base in the
sixth and then save the game in
the ninth with a running, bare
hand snag of John Klippstein's
screaming liner.
Colesville's defeat was a bitter
pill for Khppstein to swallow. Not
only did Zamyletta personally rob
him of certain victory on two occa-
sions, but Klippstein himself was
the better pitcher all of the way
and, aside from Zamyletta's homer
gave up but three scratch hits. In
addition, he struck out eleven and
gave up only four walks, none of
which figured in the scoring. Fanny
letta's circuit blow, tremendous
blast high over the centerfield
fence, came after Larry Schneider
had singled to open the sixth and
was forced out at second as Johnny
Orrison reached first on fielder's
choice.
While Colesville collected total
of eight hits, young Jack Freeberg-
er proved most effective when ducks
were on the pond and would have
held them sco1eless had it not been
for Klippstein's unearned run in
the fifth which was made possible
by Johnny Orrison's overthrow of
first base for the only error of the
game.
The most intense excitement of
the day developed in the bottom
half Of the ninth when with two
away, John Bonifant singled for
his second hit of the game. When
Roscoe Whipp drew a base on balls,
Joe Hutchinson and Sammy Keys
called on Boots PAMELA to silence
the Colesville threat with his blaz-
ing smoke and deceptive stuff. He
walked George Bonifant to fill the
bases and then pitched three
straight balls to big Jim Anderson
With two quick pitches he burned a
couple of fast balls right down the
middle that made Anderson step
back and wipe the smoke out of his
eyes. Then as everyone set sail on
the next delivery, Anderson step
ped in and raised a pop fly to right
centerfeld where guess who was
waiting for it to make the final out
and end of the game? Jerry Fanny.
