 Savage will not be present when Wallace speaks tonight in Olym- pia under the auspices of that cap ital city's Democratice County Central Committee Speaking en- agreements in the opposite end of his district will prevent him from attending the meeting.
 Savage said he welcomes Wal laces visit to his district, but add ed in a statement to the press he does not want to be obligated to either Wallace or President Truman if elected. T want to be free to decide the issues as they come up in Congress he said.
 Wallace wound up busy day in Seattle last night by telling a crowd of 5000 in the" Field Artillery Armory that Russia's current &C., tivity in Siberia short water hop from Alaska, should not alarm the United States.
 T am glad Russia has developed Siberia in the way she has, he said. T want to see Russia do a first class job, but I also want to see the United States do an equally first class job in developing Alaska.
 He proposed an exchange of stu dents between the University of Alaska and Irkutsk University.
 He said that in the Russian far east, in the same latitude as Fairbanks, they are doing more experimentation than we are. In other words, Russia has more in terest in the Soviet far east than Washington, D. C., has in Alaska. ,"
