tions against the good faith, the
integrity and the purposes" oil
the Western powers, particular
ly the United States, he said
had the one purpose of creating
confusion.
Detailing the deadlock over
RusSia's claim for $4,000, ,000,-
900 reparations from Germany
Marshall described it as. a key
issue. He accused the Soviets OF
having taken "monopolistie
strangle hold" over Eastern
Germany, making that region
"little more than a dependent
province of the Soviet Union. "
Five Decisions
Marshall said that the United
States delegation decided that
if German unity were to be
achieved, the U. S., Britain
Russia and. France would have
to make five fundamental deci-
sions, which he thus listed:
l. Elimination of artificial
zonal barriers to permit
free movement of persons, ideas
and goods throughout all G r.
many.
2. Surrender by the occupying
powers of properties seized in
Germany under the guise OF
Preparations.
s. "A currency reform in
volving new and sound currency
for all Germany.
4. A definite decision on fu-
ture economic burdens on Ger
many including reparations
5. An overall export, import
plan for all Germany.
Progress was made on none OF
these, Marshall noted. Conclud-
ing with the comment that a re-
alistic peace agreement with
Russia appeared far distant,
Marshall said:
"In the war struggle, Europe
was in a large measure shat
tered. AS a result a political
vacuum was created and until
this vacuum has been filled by
the restoration Of q healthy Eu-
ropean community, it does not
appear possible that paper
agreements can assure q last
ing peace. Agreements between
sovereign states are generally
the reflection and not the cause
of genuine settlements.
1T is for this very reason, ]
think, that we encountered such
opposition to almost every pro-
posal the Western powers
agreed upon.

JEWISH FIGHTERS KILL
TEN ARABS AT KHISAS

JERUSALEM, Dec. 1e-(R-
Jewish fighters launching
what Jewish sources described
as the first Blow to counter the
Arab ''invasion' of Palestine
killed 10 Arabs and wounded
five others today in an attack
on the border village of Khisas
Subsequently the Palestine
government clamped highway
curfew on this upper Galilee
area, prohibiting the movement
of all Jewish vehicles for sc
hours.
Shortly after the toll in the
Khisas attack had been counted
the Arabs struck back by rakins
convoy of buses in the Jude an
foothills with automatic wea-
pom fire. One Jew was killed
and three others were wounded
in this attack near Latroun.
Trench warfare developed
near Tel Aviv.
A freight train was halted and
stripped Of some of it's cargo
by 100 armed Arabs.
The importance of the type
writer in the struggle between
the Jews and Arabs was high
lighted when a business train
ing school in Tel Aviv was held
up by a group of Jews. AS the
men walked out with y of the
machines, one Of them said:
eve need these for political
purposes"
Fourteen Killed
At least IA persons were kill
ed during the lay bringing to
280 the number of deaths in the
Holy Land since the United Ma.
tions voted for partition on Nov.
%. The toll throughout the Mid
die East exceeded 400.
Jewish informants said war
riors of Hagana shot up kihsas
to halt "infiltratioo" by men,
bers of the volunteer army "om,
manded by Fawzi Bel Al Kaukli.
These Arab fighters, the sources
said have been slipping acros;.
the Palestine border and hiding
out in Khisas, located just two
miles from the point where the
Observation-Disclosures borders
join.
An official account said police
found that five of the
dead Arabs were children. Two
Syrians and two Lebanese
Arabs were listed among the
casualties.
Bombs Hurled
The attacking force sped into
the town In two automobiles and
began hurting bombs. The casu-
alties were found in the wreck
age of two houses destroyed
during the fighting.
The Jews said Khisas also
as known to be the head
quarters" of an Arab group
which attacked Jewish food
cart near Kfar Giladi and killed
a settlement policeman. The viii
lage is near the route from Da-
mascus where Arab volunteer
forces have been training for
the fight against the division of
Palestine into Arab and jewish
states.

Idaho Contractor
On Hanford Job

General Electric Company has
formally awarded the contract
for general tank construction at
the Hanford Engineer Works,
which it operates for the federal
government, to the Morrison
Knudsen Company of Boise,
Idaho, it was announced today
by D. H. Lauder, Works Mana
ger.
The contract was let on the
basis of Morrison-Knudsen Com
pany's lump sum bid Of $1,779,-
258, which made that company
low bidder among the several
west-coast contractors who were
asked to bid on the construction
project at the Southeastern
Washington atomic energy plant.
"The contractors construction
equipment began rolling into the
631 square mile area occupied
by the plant here in Benton
County as soon as Morrison
Knudson Company was in
formed that the contract had
been formally let to them," Mr..
Lauder said, "and it is expected
that construction work on this
particular project will begin I'M
mediately."

To Be Permanent Richland Structure

| the 1947 fall term, but that the
new building will be ready for
occupancy not later than the fall
of 1913.
According to Design and Con-
struction Dept. Superintendent

now drawing up preliminary
plans and specifications will be
modern and efficiently planned
along lines that will be both eco
nomical to construct and furnish
the village with new, nice look
ing structure" Mr.. Wilson said.
Heating, air conditioning, and
electrical portions of the plan for
the new building will be worked
out by the Design and Construc-
ton Dept, in cooperation with the
architect, as well as other features
of the new buildings design, in
Guiding such decisions as whether
it will be of brick or poured con-
crete construction.
Details of the design for the
new Richland junior high school
building will be based on the ex-
pected school load in the village,
as determined through careful
analysis both by General Electric
Co. and by public school authori-
ties in anticipating the needs Of
the city for this type of building.
It is tentatively planned that
