British, Soviet Talks
On Trade Broken Off
Over Finance Issue
BY the Asseeioted Press

MOSCOW, July 26.-Harold Will
son, British secretary for overseas
trade, told newsmen before leaving
Moscow for London yesterday that
Britlsh-Soviet trade talks had been
broken off because of inability of
the conferees to. agree on finance
terms.
Mr.. Wilson said that, despite an
accord on all trade matters. he and
the Russians had been unable to
settle the question of terms for re-
payment OF the 1941 British credit
by the Soviet Union.
The 31-year-old diplomat said he
would "be glad" to return to Mos
COW, but other British officials ex-
pressed doubt that Wilson would
be back soon and took 1t for granted
that the whole deal was off, at least
for this year.
Mr.. Wilson said the talks had
proceeded in a friendly vein but
indicated he had no authority to
make further concessions.
ANY further move" he said "is
up to the Russians"
The Secretary said he would make
full report to the British cabinet
and House of Commons next week.
Under the proposed trade pact,
Britain would have received 1,000,-
600 tons of wheat from the Soviet
1947 harvest, as well as quantities
OF timber, fish and canned goods.
In exchange Britain would have
sent Russia machinery and electri-
cal equipment.

Senator Seeks
 Amendment Of Drastic Jones Act

WASHINGTON, (HD - Legisla- tifon intended to improve paSsen- ger and freight transportation to Alaska was ready yesterday for introduction in the Senate.
 Senator Butler R.-Neb.), chair man of the Senate public lands committee, said the mea u e would permit Canadian vessels to carry passengers between Alaskan ports, by amending the Jones Law, which now prohibits this. That law prohibits any vessel of foreign registry from taking pas sengers from one American port to another.
 Butler said his bill also would remove what he described as a discrimination against Alaska now in the law. He said this permits merchandise to be shipped from an American point of origin to a foreign port and be carried by foreign vessels to another Ameri- can point for delivery, except that foreign vessels are forbidden to give such service to Alaska.
 Under his amendment, the Sen ator said, foreign vessels will be able to pickup freight at Canadian ports and deliver it to Alaskan ports.
 Alaskans have urged such amendments, saying it will in- crease tourist travel to the Terri tory and provide another route for getting in freight. They have con- tended the present service by three Seattle companies is too costly and is frequently interrupt ed by labor difficulties.
 Under the Butler proposals a Canadian ship could pick up mer- chandise shipped from the United States via rail to Prince Rupert, Canada, and deliver it to Alaska.

Both Fighters In Condition For
 Champion Bout
(BY Ted Smits)

NEW YORK, Joe Louis and Jer- sey Joe Walcott, both B, which is aged as prize fighters go, took we'll earned rest yesterday to get in top mental and physical shape for to- nights world heavyweight cham pionship fight.
 Odds ran as high as l to 10 Louis will retain the title he has held ten years. There was compar- ative little betting.
 Last word from the champions camp was the unanimous verdist of his Sparring partners that he is better than ever.
 The challenger's associates made no such claim for their man, but instead hinted they would rather see some other referee than Ar thur Donovan in the Madison Square Garden ring for the 15- round fight Louis said he didn't care
 Louis at PIP pounds will hold an l8-pOund advantage over Wal colt; his reach is 76 inches, two more than Walcott's; and at six feet two he is two inches taller.
 In punching, speed, and ring craftsmanship the margin in favor of Louis is much greater.
 This is what Louis sparring partners say:
 Jimmy Bell-"He is better than when he fought Billy Conn.,"
 Bob Garner-"He has more will power when it comes to training than any fighter I ever knew"
 George Fitch-"Wallcott is shifty fellow and may fool him for couple of rounds, but Joe will catch him."
 Louis did four fast rounds We'd nesday, and yesterday listed only light road work and calisthenics. This morning he motored to New York for the weighing-in.
 What Walcott did only his camp mates know, for the secrecy was complete. Both men have trained cOnscientiously.

SOviets To Devalue Ruble; People In
 Panic Start Buying

WASHINGTON, (P) - Reports of "panic buying and impending currency changes in Soviet Russia have reached Washington and been given sufficient credence to be broadcast around the world by the governments Voice of Amer ica" radio.
 The state departments broad cast in 23 languages Wednesday night said the wave of buying had been touched off by widespread rumors of prospective price in creases and devaluation of the Russian ruble.
 The rush to trade paper money for durable goods at stores in Moscow and other cities, the broadcast said, is reported to have swelled to such proportions that some establishments in the Soviet capital have been forced to close.
 Reports to authorities here, sup plementing the one on which the broadcast was based, also hinted at further trouble for the tightly managed Soviet economy.
 Heavy runs to withdraw savings from banks, these reports related, have resulted in an order to limit individual withdrawals to 200 ru- bles daily.

 The government was striving to reopen struck mines. Rail traffic leaving Paris reached 80 per cent of normal and some commerce was coming through the Atlantic ports.

CAB Hearing Of Annette Island Crash Us Recessed

SEATTLE, (P) - Why a four motored transport airplane ploWed blindly into Tamgas mountain on Annette Island near Ketchikan October 26 carrying IS perosns to death remained a mystery last night when the civil aeronautics board recessed its inquiry into the tragedy.
 R. w. Chrisp of Washington, D. C., who presided, announced the hearing will be reconvened when conditions permit an examination of the wreckage on the mountain. This is expected to be sometime in August, after snoWs have melt ed.
 The board made a searching in quiry, probing into the condition of the plane, the safety aids at the Annette Island field, and the Wea- ther warnings. But it's own safety chief, Fred c Powell of Anchor age, member of the board, testi- fled an examination of the planes records showed it was in air worthy condition when it left Seattle; testimony that a radio beam at Annette Island had tenn porarily been off a degree or two a couple of days before the crash was discounted by airmen as in sufficient to make any difference, and the testimony indicated the forecast at departure time in Seat tie showed light turbulence was expected throughout the route.
 There was testimony that an amended forecast regarding the turbulence was sent out when the plane was about two hours out of Seattle, and though there was no acknowledgement it was presumed that the plane had received it.
 The testimony showed that Capt. Ali N. Monsen, veteran Alaskan pilot who was in charge of the plane, arrived over Annette Island field at 1000 feet and with 1920 gallons of gasoline still in
