dispute over relations with Russia.
Last week before a British micro
phone, Wallace renewed his argu-
mentS for global new deal, with
room in it for Russia, rather than a
breakup of the one world concept
into eaSt-West armed camps. He ac-
cused his own country of using its
immense power for strategic and
military purposes, rather than trying
to raise the standard of living which
in turn would create markets for
American exports.
He said he did not deny that Rus
sia is expansionist as Britain was
expansionist in the past and America
is expansionist today"
But" he declared, II say it is the
task of the countries which have the
atom bomb-and which have not. like
Russia, been devastated by war and
boycotted in peace-to try new type
of power politics.
Wallace said the United Nations
"has not failed because it has not been
tried"

Korea
Millions for Far Eust

U. S. State War and Navy Depart
ment officials are comforting about an
American aid program for Korea, in
volving S400,0G0,000 to $5O0,OOO,OOO.
Congress has been on notice that
there would be a Korean program
since Undersecretaty of State Dean
Acheson testified in committee hear
ings on the pending plan to prop up
the Greco Turkish governments
against outside encroachment.
The Korean situation was pointed
up recently by Secretary of State
Marshall's declaration in Moscow that
if the Russians would not join in a
unified set-up for Korea, the U. S.
would go ahead on It's own in the
southern, American-occupied section
of the country.
Lit Gen John r Hodge, American
military commander in southern Ko-
rea, is back in Seoul after series
of Washington conferences with Mar
shall before the start of the Moscow
parley. He declared America is firmly
committed TO the establishment of 4

rean nation.

ceived letters from Lit Gen. G. P.

The siliconeS make some of the

They can also be made impervious
to water, DR.. Reed said, predicting
their use for durable and safe high
way surfaces in all kinds of weather.
Another report described the radio
active products of atomic ovens. These
alchemic products are new kinds of
atoms, many of which do not exist
in nature, declared Fr. G. E. Boyd of
the Clinton Laboratories at Oak
Ridge, Tenn.
Although they do not exist natur-
ally, these new atoms are chemically
exactly like natural atoms, so that
they can be used to replace natural
atoms in molecules and thus discover

ing to be treaty." he said on his
return to the Soviet capital from
Berlin, we should know it very
soon" The Russians, Gen. Clark
claimed, hadn't made concession
since the preliminary meeting of the
deputies in London
The Moscow conference has devel-
oped into test OF strength between
Russia and the western powers for
control of Europe. While prevention
of the spread of Communism in CEN
trail and southeastern Europe is an
important Anglo-American objective,
France, Germany and Italy remain
the key spots where the clash of east
west policies have been shaping up.
The effect of President Truman's
policy of help for nations which fight
the spread of aggression, whether by
infiltration or force of arms, has been
felt around the world.
In addition to bulwarking Greece
and Turkey, it undoubtedly is prime
factor in the decision of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle to head a new political
party seeking the leadership of
France The French government now
is administered by a precarious coali-
ton of Communist Socialist and Pop
ular Republican Movement parties.
France Moves West
France has been moved nearer the
western sphere of thinking by the
American British agreement at Mos
cow to back French plans for the
Saar. by their stand against a GEN.
traliZed German government which
the French fear would lead to a Ger
man military revival, and by Secre-
'tary of State George c. Marshall's in
sistence on a 40-year guarantee
against German aggression.
The Anglo American position re-
garding the PoliSh-German boundary
has a similar effect in Germany. So

for reparations and the Bevin-Mar-
shall efforts to secure a decent stand
