CHURCHILL vEToEs MARSHALL

Stalin then made it quite clear that he didn't trust Churchill, that he believed Churchill would still oppose an invasion across the Channel ands that unless Com mander- h. Chief was selected be- fore the Big Three left Teheran, all agreements were off. Roose- welt then agreed to select the Su- preme Commander immediately and recessed the session.
 Moving into the next room, Roosevelt summoned Admiral King and Admiral Leahy, asked them who they thought the Supreme Commander should be. Both re- piled that there was only one choice, General George Marshall. The Chief Of Staff. they said, not only deserved but wanted the job.
 w"I agree" Roosevelt said, it should be George. I'll clear it with Churchill right away"
 Roosevelt then called on Chur- chill and told him his candidate was General Marshall.
 I'll take anybody except Mar shall" Churchill replied. If you insis. on Marshall, then I'll with draw all my commitments"
 Roosevelt knew that Marshall had rebuffed Churchill on his ideas for an invasion via Italy to the Balkans, and that the British Prime Minister, who considered himself quite a military strategist, had not relished these rebuffs But, though Roosevelt argued that Mar shall was not anti British, Chur- chill remained adamant.
 Finally, Roosevelt summoned Marshall and told him the result ol his conference with Churchill.

 very suspicious of Churchill. Fin ally, as the discussion ended, Churchill moved adjournment, when suddenly Stalin, speaking in Rus sian, said he had one more ques- tion. Roosevelt asked what the question was.
 Who big hoss?" Stalin asked, suddenly switching from Russian to his very limited English.
 In an ill-tempered mood, Chur- chill stood up and blurted out one word "COSAIC." He then stalked out of the room. Roosevelt shook hands with Stalin and left. An hour later word came that Stalin wanted another meeting. Roose- welt summoned Churchill and the three sat down again.
 Who is COSAIC?" Stalrn asked
 "COSAIC," Churchill replied is the Commander of the Supreme Allied Invasion Corps
 What's his name?" Stalin asked
 We're going to name him later, Churchill replied.

OPEN SESAME:
The Holy Land

The bitterly tragic puzzle of Pal
estine and the Jews appeared as in
soluble as ever as the United Ma
tons committee on Palestine
opened hearings in Jerusalem.
Reporting at the committees first
open meeting, the Jewish agency
for Palestine persistently demand
ed unlimited Jewish immigration
into the Holy Land, contending that
immigration was the key to the
whole Jewish case.
The British previously had testi-
fed in closed session from which
the press and public were barred.
Moshe Shertok, head of the po-
litical department of the Jewish
agency, asserted that it was impos-
sible to estimate how many more
Jews could be absorbed into Pales-
tine, adding that while Jews now
make UP only one-third of the popu-
1ation, two-thirds of the local inter-
nal revenue comes from them. The
bulk of Palestine's local budget is
spent in a way to benefit the Arabs
principally, Shertok said.

DEFIANCE:
Cron1yko Again

In what was possibly his most
defiant action since he walked out
of the security council year ago,
Andrei Gromyko, Soviet delegate to
the United Nations, acidly warned
the u. N. disarmament commission
that its refusal to include atomic
control in the negotiations on gen.
eral disarmament would bring
about a total collapse" of dis
armament efforts.
He said the commissions refusal
to link the two aspects of world
peace plans was contrary to the
wishes of the U. N. general as
sembly, but delegates of France,
Great Britain and Belgium prompt
ly denied the charge.
Ignoring previous Soviet warn
ings, the. commission had voted
down long list of Russian and
Polish proposals to tie atomic con-
troll with disarmament talks and
approved an American-sponsored
work plan to keep the two subjects
separate.

CT. BILL:
Curb Benefits

The senate has passed legislation
stopping benefits under the GIL bill
of rights to those who enlist in the
services after August 81. If the
measure is approved by the house
it will mean that future servicemen
will not be eligible to receive edu-
cational allotments or on-the-job
training grants.
At senate hearings on the legisla-
ton, the army and navy did not
object to fixing the August 81 cut
off date but asked authority to set
up a substitute program to encour-
age further enlistments.

Apple Outlook Rosy

Despite a late spring. and some
frost damage in eastern fruit areas,
prospects continue generally favor
able for this years crop of apples
and other deciduous fruits, a de-
partment of agriculture report has
disclosed.
The 1947 strawberry crop is esti-
mated to be nearly a fourth larger
than the 1946 crop, but still a tenth
below average. However, the peach
crop in 10 early southern states is
expected to set a new record of
more than Is million bushels this
year, the third successive large
crop from those states.
In California, the sweet cherry
crop of $4,000 tons is Is per cent
smaller than last year, but still 16

erage. CALIFORNIA; 92,O0O-ton plum

ANOTHER CRASH:
Fifteen Die

Fifteen persons were killed and
another 10 injured when a Pan
American Anyways clipper carrying
q passengers and a crew of 10
crashed to earth near the Euphra-
ties river in eastern Syria.
The plane had left Karachi, India,
the previous day and was en- route
to Istanbul as it's first scheduled
stop on return trip to New York.
Identified as the Eclipse, the clip
per had turned back at Gander,
Newfoundland, on the outbound
flight from New York after develop
ing engine trouble.
A flight control officer in Cairo,
Egypt, said that about two hours
before the crash the plane had ra-
diced that one engine was ablaze,
and subsequent message said that
the pilot was trying to GRASSLAND
the craft.

TRAININC:
Hearings Begin

Although congress is scheduled to
adjourn July %, the senate armed
services committee has voted to
proceed with hearings on universal
military training.
But in a formal statement the
committee added that if a report
cannot be made ready by July %,
it will attempt to have a report pre-
pared for congress when. it con
venes again.
Decision of the senate group was
reached as the Very Rev. Edmund
A. Walsh, a member of President
Truman's universal military train
ing commission, told a house COM
'mittee that "the politburo in Mos
cow is not going to adjourn for the
summer as its forces creep across
Europe"
Father Walsh said that America
is definitely on the Soviet agenda of
conquest, and Russia will be ready
to start her shooting war" as soon
as her atom bombs are in produc-
ton.

ages in the basic crops of wheat,
corn, cotton, rice, tobacco and pea
nuts.
Farmers from the North and
Northwest have consistently ap-
posed federal subsidies, and senti-
nfent was reported to be growing
among the producers for letting
farm products seek their own price
level as a permanent policy. l..
In the South, however, cotton and
tobacco growers are known to be
satisfied with the situation as it
stands, favoring tight controls if
prices start to slip.
One of the federation's econo-
mists predicted at least a 1O-year
period of good prices for farmers at
levels slightly below those prevail
ing now.

Seek Pilates Villa

Pontius PLATE, the procurator of
Judea who gained an everlasting
place in the annals of infany by
washing his hands and thus sane
tioning the crucifxion of Christ,
may have spent his boyhood and
youth in villa near what is now
Canterbury, England. That, at least.
is the theory of a party of British
psychologists who now are excavat-
ing in the Roman ruins uncovered
by Nazi bombings.
The diggings, DR.. Bruce Milford

lead to the discovery of young Pi-
late's residence in England at a
time possibly paralleling the boy
hood of Christ in Palestine.
Father of Pontius Plate was SUD-
posedly a knight who was left in
the Canterbury area after Julius
Caesars conquest of south Britain.

MACHINE ACE:
Sales to Russia

With II million dollars worth Of
lend-lease machinery already being
held back from Russia by the SEN
ate appropriations committee, Sen.
Styles Bridges (Rep., N. HI, chair
man of the committee, has an
nounced that private U. S. sales Of
machinery to Russia may be
barred also.
IF the Russians continue aggres-
sion and refusal to cooperate, con-
gress may act to stop private U. S.
sales of machinery to Them"
Bridges said. ''Why should this
country appropriate 400 million dol
lars to halt communism in Greece
and Turkey and permit government
shipment of supplies to Russia
which can be used in WARP" he
asked.
The state department, however,
insists that our pledge to ship the
lend-lease machinery-last of the
commitments for which Russia has
agreed to pay-must be kept.
To stop private commerce with
the Russians would only make po-
Itical relations worse, the state de-
partment has pointed out. There is
no law now prohibiting private ex-
port business with any country with
which we have diplomatic relations,
but export control licenses still are
required for steel, oil, food and
most raw materials,

Mines Still Deadly

Ships are still being sunk along
the trade lanes of the seven seas
as result of floating mines which
were sown in wartime.
Nearly two years after the wars
end, the U. S. maritime commits
sion reports, ships of American and
foreign registry are either being
sunk or damaged by mines at the
rate of at least six a month. Since
VI Day, American minesweepers
have CLEANED total of 1904 mines.
So extensive is the hunt for the
erstWhlle war weapons that at one
time the U. S. navy had as MANY
as $4,000 men and 500 vessels scour-
ing the Pacific for loose mines. AL
though the navy considers most of
the commonly Travelled shipping
lanes now relatively free of mines.
hopping up operations are being
continued around various Pacific
atolls. Some of these areas are still
thought unsafe for shipping.
Japanese crews manning Jap YES
sells are being used to aid American
mlnesWeepers in tracking down
both American and Japanese mines.

Price Of Warfare

How much does war cost? Many
answers are possible, says a review
by the National Industrial Confer
ence board, but the cost of any war
cannot be determined definitely un-
til at least century after the end
of hostilities.
For example, it was not until this
year Q947) that the last pensioner
of the War of 1872 disappeared from
the United States budget. AS an
other instance, the military cost of
the Spanish-American war was a
mere 502 million dollars; however,
the continuing costs-interest on
war debt, pensions and care of vet
erans-amounted to 2,4OO million
dollars during the 48 years ending
June 30, 1916.
The continuing costs of World War
/ are already about 40 per cent
greater than the military costs of
that conflict. But the real payoff
comes with World War II. On June
80, 1948, just eight years will have
elapsed since continuing costs of
World War II began, and on that
date they will have amounted to
more than the total military cost of
World War I. Our latest war will
have cost us about 700 billion dol
lars by 1872, and the government
will still be paying pensions in the
year 2O76 as result of the war
which came to an end in 1945.
