Marshall Meant ALL Of Europe

WASHINGTON, R)-Secretary of State Marshall said yesterday that when he proposed European nations get together on an econo- mic program he was thinking of Russia and Great Britain as we'll as other nations.
 Marshall made the proposal in a speech at Harvard university a week ago. He was bombarded with questions about it at news conference yesterday, his first since the speech.
 In his replies, the secretary of state disclosed that Winston Chur- chill's urging of a United States of Europe had influenced his de- veloping the idea that the Euro peans should work out their own economic recovery plans and that the United States should extend financial help to put them through.
 He gave no estimate yesterday of how much financial assistance might be required but other state department officials have been talking in terms of billions of dol lars year over the next several years.

Seal Catchers Get Wage Hike
WASHINGTON, P) -

WASHINGTON, (P) - Higt prices are forcing the interior de partment to boost the income oi Aleut seal-catchers on the Pribiloi Islands in the Boring Sea. Oscar L. Chapman, undersec- retary of the interior, said yester- day that the l36 native sealers employed to attend the govern ment's $100,0OO, ,0OO sea herd-and to kill and skin the marketable animals-will receive a 25 per cent "cost of living" bonus pend- ing a full study of the methods by which they are compensated.
 An interior department sealing expert estimated that the average bonus will be $150.
 The sealers, in addition to their small wages, receive food, shelter, health service and education at government expense. They spend their pay for incidentals.
 The sealing season will bca;n late this month. The fish and wild life service estimates that the catch will range from 6O,000 to 80,000 skins. The record take was 90,000 in 1944 after two non-seal- ing years. Last years catch was 64,523 skins, a decrease of 12,441 from the 1945 total.
 The federal government as- sumed active management of tho Pribilof fur-seals in 1910, when the herd had dwindled from more than 3,0O0,000 animals to 132,OOO. Last year the seal population of the islands was 3,3Oo,OOO and this year it is estimated at 3,50O,000. the largest number in more than 75 years.
 The government sells its Pribil- of furs twice year, at auctions at St. Louis, Mo.

Sugar RatiOning Ends I'm States

WASHINGTON, The last war-imposed coupon control over ihc American public vanished yes ;erday as sugar rationing for home, restaurant and hotel use ended at midnight Wednesday.
 After five years in which ration stamps meant more than money when 1t came to meat, canned goods, shoes, tires, gasoline and a host of other things-individual Americans are free of coupon worries for the first time since April 28, 1922.
 The last ration book can be thrown away.
 However, sugar price controls remain. So does rationing of in- dustrial sugar. But these two curbs are scheduled to end Oct. 31.
 Secretary of agriculture Ander- son ordered the sugar ration end late Wednesday, thus beating the Republican-controlled Congress to the draw. The House had SC: for a vote today bill calling for the immediate end to household su- gar rationing.

The boots believed to have been
worn by President Lincoln the night
he was assassinated in Ford's
Theater on April IA, 1865, will be
placed on exhibition for the first
time today in the Lincoln Museum
near the spot where he fell.
Gift of Miss Ruth Hatch of Lynn
Mass, in whose family they hao
remained for three generations. the
boots were presented to the Inter-
lor Department and National Capt.
tai Parks Office for future preserva-
tion.
The authenticity of the boots,
described as fine, black leather
boots, size 10 with narrow last
was attested by representatives of
the New York Bootery which made
them, according to Miss Hatch.
They were used by the sculptor
Cyrus Dallin, as models for Lincoln S
footwear when he made the famous
statue of the Civil War President
which stands in the grounds of the
Illinois State Capitol at Springfield.
T. Sutton Jet, National Parks
historian in charge of the Lincoln
Museum has had the boots treated
with oil. They are now a part of

Food Price S|ashes,
Announced by Reds,
Called Meaningless
By WiiIiom McGoffin
Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
the Chicago Daily News

the Chicago Daily News
LONDON, Sept. 18.-When prices
go up an average of 100 per cent
then down 20 to 30 per cent, they
still register 100 to $50 per cent
higher.
That is all the recent reduced
food price announcement by the
Moscow radio really amounts to, as
seen from here.
Obviously, anything goes in Com
munist Russia's systematic attempt
to diScredit the hated-and feared
capitalist system. So, of course, the
Moscow press has seized on this new
opportunity to remind Soviet readers
of the great contrast between Mos
cows falling prices and America S
spiraling ones.
Actually, Russia's newspapers
would not care to mention its 1947
prices as against its 1947 average
daily wages.
Fantastic Gains Cited.
The price reductions represent
the first noticeable Soviet attempt
to lower the food costs from the
fantastic level to which they jumped
year ago. But they apply to CO.
operative shops alone, and those
only in the city of Moscow. To sup
plement rationed foodstuffs, Mos
covites buy in cooperative or COM
mercial shops at one-half to one
third ration shop prices.
This means that the great ma ior-
ity of Russia's 180O0o,oOO people will
not be affected at all by the "low-
cred" food costs, meaningless as they
are.
Price Cuts Listed.
The Moscow radio announcement
stated that from September -, the
price of meat would be reduced 20
to 30 per cent: that of fish, 20 per
cent; that of butter, from is to 16
per cent and that of jam, % per
cent.
What radio and newspapers fail
to mention, however, is that butter,
meat and jam-three of the four
items affected-are so expensive
they are regarded as luxuries by the
average workers who cannot pos
sibly afford them even when he can
find them. Food prices, in fact, are
so high in Soviet Russia that there
are families who do not earn
enough to buy all their rations-let
alone luxuries.

ST. LOUIS, March 24.-(P)-
Melvin r. Bailey, ~, struck to his
"~confession'' of the "Black Dab
liza" staying at Los Angeles after
he was confronted today with a
message from Detroit police say
ing he was in that city at the time
Of the crime, police announced.
Inspector George Branton of the
Detroit homicide squad quoted
Miss Dolores Lorenc, 81, as say
ing she and Bailey were in Detroit
Jan. 81 arranging to be married,
two days before the mutilated body
Of Elizabeth Short was found, and
that Bailey did not leave for
California until Jan. 26.

that he and Miss Lorenc had plan
ned to be married Christmas Day

sion" last Tuesday while under

knife. and later he offered au-
liberties a blood-stained ,handker-

IF France goes he added, I'VE
will be closed out of Europe"
The French situation is "criti-
cal,' he said, because % per cent
of the General assembly is threat
ening to take over the government.
There is a chance it can succeed
by using revolutionary tactics, he
added.
If France. falls to Communism,
he said, it would be followed
quickly by Italy, Spain and Por-

MES in Africa and the Mediter-
ranean.
"And the French colonies on this
side of the Atlantic would be open
to French planes - which would
be Communist planes with French
markings. They would be within
range OF the Panama Canal and
the st. Lawrence riverway."
Similar To France
The position OF the United States,
he said, greatly resembles the
situation of France in 1885,"
Then France had by far the
largest air force in the world, the
most powerful army in the world
and a navy far stronger than
H~itler's,' he said.
"Yet, at that very moment, Hit
Ter dared start his movement OF
expansion and marched over the
Rhine.
I'VE, at present, are much
stronger than the Soviet Union. We
are comparatively as strong as
the French were against the Ger
mans in 1936-ad Stain knows it.
But time is running against us.
The Russians are charging their
air force. They are still produc-
ing for war. They are consolidate
ing their holds on the countries
they now occupy.
The existence of a fifth column
of a national Communist party in
the United States is even q great
er threat than was Hitler's fifth
column. It's aim is to weaken the
American government for the ulti-
mate assault which the Soviet
Union intends to make on the Unit
ed States"
Three Reasons
Turning to specific anti-Com-
munist legislation under COM
mittee study, Bullitt said he was
not sure that the time was ripe
to make it illegal for anyone to
belong to the Communist party be-
cause:
/. "We know that the party is
organized along certain lines,
composed of dues paying mem
bers, and the underground COM
posed Of groups of three or four
people organized in secret.
2. I'VE know there is a group OF
men, so important to the Soviet
Union, that they are not allowed to
reveal that they are members of
the party.
3. II do not believe that we have
sufficient information on all these
groups to put u hands on them
effectively. Nor do I feel that we
would go through with any punish
ment if We found them"
He recommended that appropria-
tons for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation be increased SO
that it can cope with the Com
munists when it becomes neces-
sary to ENSURE. the safety of the
United States"
And the time may not be long
distant before we have to do that"
he said.
