Stop German Steel Flowing To Russia
Friday. March 2l. lsl7

BERLIN, (A0-A joint British American announcement said to- day that British and American au- thorities had sharply reduced ship ments of German iron and steel to the Soviet zone and were consid- ering total embargo because the Russian zone has failed to fulfill terms of a trade agreement.
 The joint statement said the Sov- jet zone was tagging far behind it's commitments under the agreement with the combined Americana Brit ish zone to deliver foodstuffs and various other materials in ex- change for steel and iron.
 On the other hand, the state ment said, deliveries of iron and steel up to the end of February had fulfilled 95 per cent of the British-American commitment.
 This failure of the Russians has placed the United States Brit ish zone in an extremely difficult position" the statement asserted.

High School, accustomed to student

with what the. principal termed pet

Principal Roy Good, whose disci-

Prompted by his action, 10 of the

|Duranf Trial Stalled

Col. Jack w. Durant on charges
of conspiracy in the 81 500, 900 theft
|of Hesse heirlooms from castle in
Germany.
The eight-man board met infor-
mally this morning and ordered an
other of the trials frequent recesses.
One of the chief questions pending

tary of Wars Office on whether the
defense will be given a confidential
Army Investigators report to aid in
cross questioning the prosecutions
last witness, 1t. Col Ralph Pierce of
the Criminal Investigation Division.
Maj. Joseph S. Robinson Of New
York, chief Of prosecution counsel,
has told the court he will close his
case as soon as he is permitted to
recall Col. Pierce to the stand to
allow defense counsel to cross-ques-
ton him. The defense, however,
refuses to go ahead with the ques-
tioning until a ruling is made from
high War Department authority
on whether it can have the report.
The Office of the Provost Marshal
General has refused to release the
report. 1t was said it contains con-
fldential matter transmitted by
agents to their superiors.
The prosecutor told the court he
already has furnished the defense a
full transcript of all matters brought
out in his'direct examination of Col.
Pierce. The defepse, while denying
prosecution charges of ''stalling,"
also is insisting on the right to

activities of several thousand armed

Amplifying the necessity for
Intervention, Mr.. Truman
said Great Britain, which can ex-
tend no help after March 81, finds
itself under the necessity of re-
ducing or liquidating it's commit
ments in several parts of the world"
The United Nations, and it's re-
lated organizations, he continued,
"are not in position to extend help
of the kind that is required
Turkeys plight is less pressing, the
President added, but he pointed to
the Complementary nature of the
problem involved, with a thiniy-
yelled reference to the Importance,
from the standpoint of military
strategy, of this area, where control
Of the Dardenelles and Mediter-
ranean are at stake.
Survival of Grave Importance.
1T is necessary only to glance at
a map to realize that the survival
and integrity of the Greek nation
are of grave Importance to a much
wider area" he amplified. III
Greece should fall under the control
of an armed minority, the effect
upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be
immediate and serious. Confusion
and disorder might well spread
throughout the entire Middle East .
Ominously, he continued:
Should we fail to aid Greece and
Turkey in this fateful hour, the ef-
feet will be far reaching to the West
as well as to the East"
To support the argument that the
aid he seeks lines up with this
country's declared foreign policy.
the President recalled the part
taken by the United States in es-
tablishing the United Nations, which
he declared is designed to bring
lasting freedom and independence
to. all its members.
These objectives, however, can
