ACCUSE RUSS OFCL0UDING
 ISSUE IN JUN.
U. 5. Says Communists Try 10 Prevent Study of Ball.
 kan Conflict Causes

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept, 29.--lR- The United States today accused Russia and her satellites of trying to divert attention from the real cause of the Balkan conflict by dragging in irrelevant" questions such as the Truman Doctrine and the composition of the present Greek Government.
 At the same time. the United States promised to make available to the United Nations Assembly and it's 55-nation political com mittee every detail" of the Ameri- can program to aid Greece
 Herschel V. Johnson, U. 5. dele- gate, made these declarations be- fore the political committee after calling attention to what he called gross calumnies' against the Unit ed States by Russia and her satel- lites in connection with the Ameri- can aid rogram.
 T do not see how the Greek people should be made to suffer, Johnson declared. simply because the Soviet government is not able to impose it's economy on Greece. ,
 Johnson spoke shortly before the committee adjourned until We'd nesday morning. Earlier the com mittee had heard an appeal from France. asking the United States to modify demands that the Assembly find the three Soviet Balkan satel- lites guilty of aggression against Greece. Johnson made no reference to the French appeal
 In an avowed attempt to com promise the fight between Russia and the United States over the Balkan problem, French Minister of State Yvonne Delbos also ap- pealed to the Soviet Union and it's satellites to cooperate toward seek ing peaceful settlement.
 Delbos spoke before the political committee after hearing Greece's Deputy Premier Constantine Tsal- daris declare Greece's northern neighbors Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia- are boldly committing "acts of aggression" while the LIN seeks a solution.

Withdrawal of American and Russian Occupation
 Troops, Spells Doom

SEOUL, Sept 29-lR-Two South Korean political leaders predict that withdrawal of American and Russian occupation troops, suggest ed last Friday by the Soviet, would result in civil war and Commun- ization of the country
 The prediction came from two men who claim to speak for thous- ands of their countrymen Syng- man Rhee, rightist, and Kimm Kui Sic, chairman of the South Korea interim legislative assem- bly.
 Russian Col Gen. Terenty Shti- kov, Soviet delegate to the joint commission which failed in at- tempts to prepare the way for a provisional government for all of Korea, proposed Friday that occupation troops withdraw from Korea at the beginning of the year. leaving Koreans to form their own government.
 Highly placed Americans specu- lated the suggestion was designed to keep the Korean issue from coming before the United Nations and possibly indicated that the Russians believed North Korea was ready to try to install a Red government for the whole country

 A sister destroyer, the James c. owens. and two tugs have gone to the aid of the Fox which has two doctors and five hospital corpsmen aboard.
 Navy officials said the mine may have been an old one. broken loose from an area not yet swept clear of them since the war. The ex- plosion occurred 18 miles off Trieste, dispatches from that Adriatic port said.
 The names of the victims were not made public at once One of the men wounded was reported critically injured and the other wounded were in serious condition.
 The Fox, which was on her way from Venice. Italy, to Trieste, is one of the most heavily armed of Ameri- can destroyers. She joined the U S. warships in the Mediterranean after leaving Noroflk. Va, July 2l

 The steering gear was wrecked, both propeller shafts rendered ''in- operative" and both screws dam aged.
 The flooding of all the after com- partments indicated that the mine was extremely powerful and must have gone off very close under the stern, experts believed.

The W ashington Merry Go Round!
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-The British Se- cret Service, recognized as one of the most efficient in the world, has just submitted confidential and highly important report to the Bri- tish Foreign Office regarding the inner debates of the Soviet Polit- buro-the 14-man council which really rules Russia.
 This British report indicates that the Soviet Union has just made a historic decision, namely to give up all pretense of friendship with the United States.
 The report, which goes into de- tail regarding the new Soviet policy also reveals:
 l. That Stalin apparently was reluctant to go along with the change toward the USA but was overruled.
 2. That Russia will now inten- s!vely WOO the Arabs, using the partition of Palestine as weapon to strengthen Russia's position in the oil-rich Near East.
 3. That Russia strategy in Europe will be to defeat the Marshall plan and create as much European chaos as possible.

Committees of House, Sen- ate to Meet-Make Re-

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-IR- President Truman today announc- cd he is asking key House and Senate Committees to meet as soon as possible on European aid, but said he has not decided wheth- CT to call a special session of Con- gress this fall
 MT Truman told an extraordin- ary news conference that de- cision on calling Congress into session will depend largely on the findings of the committee, which he desires to meet "at the earliest possible time"
 He asked for meetings of the appropriations committees. the Senate Foreign Relations committee and the House Foreign Affairs committee.
 Funds now available, the Presi- dent said, can carry Western Eu- rope up to December l on what he rescribed as a starvation basis. But, he said that 58,000,000 will be needed to get Europe through the cold weather until next March.
 The President told reporters he could not say when he could de- eide on the issue of special ses- sion. He said, however, that the government could find the funds in no other way than by con- eressional action.
 MT. Truman is writing immed- lately to the chairmen of the com mittees. Some of the members are now in Europe, he said, but he will request that they convene in Washington as soon as convenient

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. = R,-- The Methodist Board of Temper ance let loose a broadside at Ad- miral William F. (BulD Halsey today for saying that 'as a general rule, never trust a fighting man who doesn't smoke or drink"
 The board retorted that drinking makes men fight lin thousands of saloons every day, but we have never known it to make anyone fight well"
 And if Halsey carried bourbon for his carrier pilots in the Pacific when he was Third Fleet Com mander, the board declared. he was guilty of an astonishing breach of naval discipline
 Halsey, whose reflections on liquor appeared in a recent series of arti- cles in the Saturday Evening Post didn't even swing a gun turret when reporters found him in San Francisco and told him what the board was saying. His answer was No comment"

Eleanor Speaks Out 10 Newsman-Position Some

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 29.-4R-- Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt says 1t is impossible to understand why the Russians act as they do.
 Mrs. Roosevelt told a reporter that at times the difficulties of dealing with Soviet delegates to the United Nations appear almost in superable.
 Try as you may, you cannot understand why they act as they do. even when you project yourself into the position their nation oc- cupies"
 Mrs. Roosevelt, a United States delegate to the U. N.,' said the Rus sians "appear to be waiting for an- other depression here to create pools of unemployed people who might be tempted to Communism. But do they think what the consequences to the world would be if the Wes- tern Hemisphere was in such chaos that it could no longer expect food?'

U. n. Takes Up Issue
OF Arms Limitation;
Progress Is Doubtful
kv the Asseeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept 5.-The
United Nations takes another turn |
at arms limitation today with viz
tually no progress in prospect.
The Working Committee of the I.
U. N. Commission on Conventional
Armaments was called to meet for
a renewed attempt to decide how
best to approach the arms problem.
The committee has agreed on a !
plan of work but there still is no
agreement on what next to do.
Some of the small countries have
complained that there does not |
appear to be any real move for cut
ting arms at this stage of the worlds
political game.
The question is certain to be con-
sidered in the forthcoming U. N.
Assembly. which will meet Septem-
Der is, in Flushing Meadow Park,
New York The Assembly will ex-
pect report on progress made in
the field of atomic control and arms
limitation. Delegates generally are
agreed there has been little progress
In either direction this year, al
though a considerable amount of
work has been done.
Atomic Meeting Wednesday.
The Atomic Commission has ar
ranged a meeting for next Wednes-
day to approve its second report to
the Security Council, which was
ordered for delivery before Septem-
Der Is. The political committee of
the commission completes work to-
day on a number of amendments
to a series of papers which make up
the report and vote will be taken
Monday.
The full commission then will
consider the final draft, with in
dications pointing to another 10 to-
O vote. That was the count on the
first report last December. when
Russia and Poland abstained from
voting.
Russia and Poland have made It
clear they do not like this second
report and their disapproval or
abstention was expected.
A subcommittee of the Security
Council met yesterday and an
nounced it would report on can
didates for the governorship OF
Trieste next Tuesday. There are
l8 names on the list.
When ratifications of the italian
peace treaty are deposited in Paris,
the free territory of Trieste will go
under administration of the Security
Council.
This will mean that troops will
be withdrawn from Trieste 80 days
from that date and the Governor
must be ready to operate. Thus the
Councils time for action has been
cut, as the ratifications are expected
to be turned in shortly.
The Security Council, in addition
to the Trieste question, will be busy
next week with the Egyptian case
and with odds-and- before the
Assembly meets.
The Council is not expected to
meet often during the Assembly as
the delegates also are on the dele
cations of their various countries
in the full Assembly.
