MarshaII's S Backing
Sought by Benton on
Foreign Broadcasts
BY the Associated Press

Assistant Secretary Of State VIII
liam Benton yesterday was reported
hopeful of winning the early ap-
proval of Gen. George G. Marshall
for a plan to create new Govern
ment agency to take over foreign
broadcast programs from the State
Department.
Mr.. Benton told Congress last
year, when he obtained more than
Sc, 900 ,O00 for short-wave radio pro-
grams, that he would be back this
session with "a plan for non-State
Department operation.
Actually he has come up with a
whole series of such plans. They
are built on the idea of organizing
a public foundation, with nine or
15-man board of trustees, and turn
ing over to it the whole Voice of
America system which the State
Department took over in late 1945
from the Office of War Information.
Mr.. Benton had outlined his plan
verbally to retiring Secretary OF
State Byrnes, associates said, but
Secretary Byrnes never went into
it in detail. Now Mr.. Benton is
planning to seek the early attention
of Secretary-Designate Marshall.
Some opposition to the plan has
developed within the State Depart
ment on the ground that it would
set up an agency outside the de-
partment which would make for
eign policy" in so far as radio
broadcasts to foreign countries were
concerned.
MIR. Benton and aides have been
defending the proposal on the
ground that multi board
including the Secretary of State OF
his representative, and distinguished
educators and publicists, would dc
a better job of interpreting the
United States to the world by radio
than the State Department Is able
to do. They also contend that when
issues of foreign policy came up
the board would follow State De-
partlment directions.

1t appeared here that Lord Mont
goniery definitely had eliminated
some of the Soviet suspicion con-
cerning growing military collabora-
ton between Britain and the United
States. The Russians have been
very critical concerning reports that
the British and Americans were
working out details of standardizing
arms and integrating their training
programs.
Lord Montgomery was authorita-
lively reported to have given the
Russians assurances that this Brit
h-American cooperation was not
exclusive, and informed quarters
said they believed closer arrange
ment between Britain and Russia
would grow out of the trip.
Lord Montgomery declared HIM
self highly pleased with the talk
with Mr.. Stain.
Americans here said they were not
disturbed over reports that the
Soviet Union and Britain might
draw closer in a military way.
I On the contrary, they said they
were pleased.

Montgomery Arrives d v
Home but Misses Last
Bit Of Red Hospitality
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Field Mar
shall Lord Montgomery, weary after
his exposure to an abundance OF
Soviet hospitality, arrived home
from Moscow this afternoon.
Because of fog, he missed a final
touch of Russian hospitality. Of
ficials of the Soviet Embassy here
were at the Northolt Airport to greet
him, one of them carrying package
that might have been still another
gift for the chief of the British
Imperial General Staff.
But the field marshal's plane
could not land in the low mist and
was diverted to Bassingbourn, which
the welcoming committees could not
reach in time for formalities. Lord
Montgomery motored to London i'm
mediately.
Among the gifts he brought from
Moscow were a sable coat of the
type popular among Soviet generals
and lambswool hat, which he
found too warm in the plane and
discarded in favor of his familiar
beret.

Expectant Mother Loses
Rest Of Family in Fire
By the Associated Press

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, Jan. H.
A father and his three children
were burned to death in a trailer
court cabin early today about two
hours after he had taken his wife
to hospital to await the birth OF
fourth baby.
Dead are William Marshall S.
structural steel worker; his son,
William Lewis Marshall, 8, and two
daughters, Machaleen, 4, and
Jean, l.
The wife, Wilda Marshall, was in
Kern County General Hospital, the
baby still unborn. She had not
been informed of the tragedy which
wiped out her family.
Coroner Norman c.. Houze said
the fire presumably started from an
oil stove explosion. He theorized
that after Mr.. Marshall returned
from the hospital he put the chill
dren to bed, and attempted to light
the stove when blast engulfed him
He based his conclusion on the
position of the bodies.
| A neighbor, Clyde Knight, saw
the fire and broke down the door
of the cabin but was driven back
by flames.

China Reported Near
Major Shakeup With
Gain for Minorifies
BY The Assoeiutsd Press

| NANKING, Jan. 11-A major
shakeup in the Chinese government
with liberal nonpartisans or minor
lity party members getting at least
half the ministeries, is due to be
completed within the next month
a well-informed source said today
/ This source, which cannot be
identified, said the reorganization
would go through with or without
the participation Of the Commu-
inists."
If carried through, this program
recommended by Gen. Marshall In
| his farewell critical statement on
the Chinese problem, would mean
that many top men in the ruling
lKuomintang (Nationalist Party
would have to step down to make
room for representatives OF such
minorities as the Social Democratic
Party, the Young China Party and
others.
Gen. Marshall, just before his
appointment as United States Sec
retary of State, declared:
1.-THE salvation of the situation
as see it, would be the assumption
of leadership by the liberals in the
government and in the minority
parties, splendid group of men
but who as yet lack the political
power to exercise controlling
influence
Gen. Marshall mentioned that 1t
was unfortunate" that the Com
munists had refused to participate
in the constitutional convention.
Chineses sources today said the
government still was considering
dispatch of emissaries to Yenan to
try to resume negotiations with the
Communists but there was little
hope among the highest officials
that this effort would succeed.
One Official in Marking, COM
menting on the year-long attempt
by Gen. Marshall to mediate China S
civil strife, pointed out that during
that entire period there had been
comparatively little major combat
and that Gen. Marshall at least had
been able to prevent the sort OF
explosion which might have been
expected from 4,000, 900 men in arms.
Now that Gen. Marshall is gone,
there is no reason to believe that
large-scale warfare will start, this
same official said, for the govern
ment has more reason to fear the
reaction of Secretary of State Mar
shall than it did that of Ambassador
Marshall.
Latest pro-government dispatches
reported only series of Communist
guerrilla attacks in the Peiping-
TientSin area.

Sympathy Strike Plan
Forces British 10 Delay
Troop Use on Trucks
BY ths Assoeiatsd Press

LONDON, Jan. 11.--London's 49,
900 striking truck drivers, faced with
a government threat to use troops
to replace them, tonight ignored a
Labor Ministry warning to return
to their jobs as the city's millions
prepared to meet critical food
shortage caused by the walkout.
Dock workers, market porters and
public transit workers threatened
to quit in sympathy walkouts after
the government announced a plan
to use Army, Navy and Air Force
personnel to man idle trucks. Faced
with this counter threat, Labor
Ministry spokesman indicated the
plan would be held in allegiance.
The spokesman said:
'In view of the fact that a dele
gate meeting has been arranged
for tomorrow morning to be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Arthur Deakin (gen-
eral secretary of the Transport and
General Workers Union), the Mini
ster has arranged with Mr.. (John)
Strachey, minister of food, that serv-
ice labor will not begin on Monday
until the position regarding work is
clear"
Trade union leaders summoned
the delegates to tomorrow's mass
meeting in an apparent attempt to
ward off a disastrous collision be-
tween the Government and labor.
Mr.. Deakin, who succeeded For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin as
union secretary, was expected to
make an urgent appeal to the dele
gates for an end to the walkout.
Housewives, meanwhile, lined up
by the thousands in attempts to
buy weekend supplies the shops
could not provide. In groceries there
was shortage even of potatoes, and
many butcher shops did not open
their doors. For time it appeared
that even hospitals would not re-
ceive food supplies, but the Labor
Ministry reported the union had
acceded to special request to "en-
sure the delivery of meat to the
hospitals"
The strikers, repeating their de-
termination to remain out until
their demands are met, complained
that negotiations for a new wage
contract dragged 10 months with
out decision. The workers, who
walked out last Monday, demand
44-hour week, an eight-hour day,
IA days annual vacation with pay,
half pay during sickness and aboli-
ton of the cumulative week for
overtime purposes.

a House Members Ask
u. 5. 10 Keep at Least
Token Force in China
BY the Associated Press

Four members of the House urged
yesterday that the United States
keep at least token force of troops
in China.
They viewed this as guarantee
of American interest in Chinas re-
turn to stability and insurance
against the spread of Russian in
f1uence.
The Congressman advanced their
opinions in separate interviews.
They were prompted by Gen. George
C. Marshall's statement that ex-
tremist elements in both Chang
EKai-shek's government and the
Chinese Communist Party were
frustrating hopes of peace and unity.
Il don't think we have a choice" "
said Representative Short, Repub-
lican, of Missouri. He was a men,
ber of the House Military Sub
committee which toured China last
fall and talked at the time with
Gen. Marshall, then President Tru-
mans special envoy to China. "If
we move out, Russia will inmedi-
ately start spreading her influence
in China" he declared.
/ Representatives Martin, Republi-
can, of Iowa and Skies, Democrat,
of Florida, who also made the trip,
held opinions similar to Mr.. Shorts
Mr.. Skies said American troops
must be kept in China partly be-
cause of Russia" and partly because
the presence of a few" troops serves
as "stabilizing influence on
China's factions.
Mr.. Martin contended that with
drawal Of troops from China would
"onIy mean that Russia would be
more progressive in pushing in" He
added he would accept any recom-
mendation by Gen. Marshall on the
grounds that he knows better than
anyone else what the Chinese sit
uation is"
Representative Wadsworth, Re-
publican, of New York, told reporters
he opposed reducing occupation
forces now because. he reasoned. it
would entail losing the respect of
other nations.

Big 4 Deputies Meet

For Reich, Austria
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. l1.-Deputy for
eign ministers - representing tht
United States, France, Russia ane
Britain-will meet here Tuesday tx
prepare the groundwork on peace
treaties for Germany and Austria
20 months after the victory ir
Europe.
Their findings will be turned over
to their chiefs, who will convene In
Moscow March 10 to begin consider
alton of what to do about one OF
the generations most puzzling prob
lems-Germany
The american delegates are ex-
pected to arrive here tomorrow
They are Robert D. Murphy, politi-
cal adviser of the American COM
mander in Germany. who will assist
In drawing up the treaty for Ger
many, and Gen. Mark w. Clark,
commanding United States forces in
Austria, who will work on the Aus
trian pact.
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin will welcome the. deputies at
their first session at Lancaster
House, in London's West End
Although the so-called Big -Four
nations are expected to play the
major role in drafting the two trea-
ties, representatives from 18 smaller
nations have been invited to make
suggestions to the deputies.
Among the problems to be con-
sidered are:
/. Borders. France already has
thrown a customs Gordon around
the coal-rich Saar, which she wishes
to integrate with her own economy,
and is in favor of internationaliza-
ton of the Ruhr and separation of
the Rhineland from Germany. Po-
land has moved into Eastern Ger
man territory, and the United States
has said that it does not necessarily
believe that the Polish German
frontier should be permanent. Po-
land and Russia have dissented
loudly.
Czeehs May Ask Corrections.
Czechoslovakia is expected to ask
for border corrections" at the ex-
pense of Germany and Austria
Yugoslav propagandists have been
clamoring for Austrian Carinthia.
France, and possibly Britain, will
vote to restore Austria to her 1887
borders.
2. Who shall sign? Opinion ap-
pears divided as to whether any
German leaders will sign the Ger
man treaty, or whether the treaty
should be imposed.
3. Occupation. The whole ques-
ton of future occupation policies
in Europe, presumably, will be
threshed out. The occupying pow
ers have disagreed on many of these
policies up to now.
4. Reparations This question is
bound up with such problems as
whether Germany should be per-
mitted to develop enough commerce
and industry to pay reparations
in cash or goods; whether more
enemy property should be seized or
removed; whether Russian seizures
of property in Austria were justi-
fed; and whether the Germany and
Austria of the future should be
tightly controlled or allowed a little
freedom to help themselves.

with what the fish likes" Dr. Crane

attractive aspects of dentistry to all.

Physicians we're given precedence
over dentists In the Army, DR..
Crane said, because the War De-

the attitude of the general public.
That is the dentists fault he
said. "A squeaking wheel gets the
grease"
At least half of dentists in

said. Tests have proved the "best
