By Gould Lincoln

Chairman Vandenberg of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee today gave the green
light to "fuel-and-famine" aids
to Europe this winter and lined
himself up for the Marshall
plan with limitations.
The Senator also expressed his
belief that a separate peace with
Germany should be negotiated il
the Council of Foreign Ministers
should remain deadlocked during
the winter.
"Germany's restoration to viable
autonomy is at the core of Europe s
rehabilitation" the Senator de-
clared in a speech at the University
of Michigan celebrating the centen-
nial of Dutch colonization in his
home State.
1T is infinitely preferable for the
Council of Foreign Ministers to
come to united terms" he said, but
I am saying that disagreement
here or elsewhere-cannot be al
lowed to postpone peace, rehabilits-
ton and self-government forever
Peace must have priority

Senator was cited as "a leader in

ored for his accomplishments as
wartime minister of foreign affairs
for the Netherlands and for his
work as delegate to the U. N. Sc

Vandenberg Hits Russians.
Senator Vandenberg attacked with
vigor the attitude of Russia and her
satellites. declaring it not compatible
with "the peace we all solemnly

he did not see war as inevitable

Historians writing the story of

find it difficult to set the date on
which the death blow was struck
for OPA.

Truman vetoed last June 20. Others
say 1t began even earlier than that
the administration decision to
start scrapping controls on vi Day.

the night President Truman went
on the air to announce that be-
ginning the next day there would
be no more price controls on live

Tension Rises in India
On Eve Of Revelation
OF Indepence Plan

NEW DELHI, May 31-Reliable
but unconfirmed reports of gun
running, troop movements and re-
ligious communities arming them
selves for conflict spread here today
on the eve of one of the most mo-
mentous weeks in midas history.
On Monday Lord Louis Mount
hatten, Britain'S last viceroy in a
century and a half of rule, will dis
close to midas political leaders the
British blueprint for transferring
power to the Indians. Before the
week is out, the 100000 900 people
who make this the second most
populous country in the world
should know whether their land is
to be united or divided, peaceful or
rent by continued bloody Hindu
Moslem battle.
Arms Collection Reported.
Since 1t became known that the
British blueprint would be revealed
June 2, tension has been rising.
Reliable sources said gun running
has grown up from Burma and
Afghanistan. JeepS have been pur-
chased in large numbers and driven
into Indian states. Large collections
of arms were reported being made
in some of the princely states, many
of which already have strong armies
and considerable leftover war equip
ment.
Some of the religious communi-
ties have been reported encouraging
the organization of private armies.
Police and military officials at
Calcutta completed plans for de-
fensive Gordon about that city.
Night movements of troops to stra-
tegic areas in the city were reported
and an almost deserted wartime
military camp began filling up again

extended to June the 7 pm. to
am. curfew in six areas which
have been under almost continuous
curfew for two months.
Army troops were ordered to take
up positions tonight in sections
of Bombay as precautionary
measure"
Confidence Is Shaken.
The Bombay, stock exchange, a
majority of whose members are
Hindus, made public a message to
Jawaharlal Nehru, leading Congress
Party minister in the interim gov
eminent, declaring it views with
alarm the impending economic crisis
likely to arise from widespread COM
munal strife. riot, organized arson
and murder"
The message said the public had
"lost confidence" in the govern
ment's financial and labor policies,
was reluctant to invest in shares
and even was unloading government
securities because of nervousness
springing from internal insecurity"
The stock exchange urged firm
government action" to encourage
production, remove unavoidable con-
trolls, keep money easy and preserve
"1aw and order at any cost"
