Russians Shoot Swedish Relief Mission Officer

VIENNA, (P)-Russian soldiers fired on a Swedish relief mission car last night and killed Arne Carson, Vienna chief of the Swe- dish ve-the-children organiza- ton.
 A Swedish legation spokesman here described the shooting as a deplorable accident, and said no protest would be lodged with the Russians in Vienna. He added that a full report would be sent to the Swedish foreign office.
 Carlson was killed by a rifle shot fired by a Russian sentry near the Czechoslovak border. Dr. Thorsten Arneus, chief of the Swedish relief mission to Aus tria, was injured slightly in the right hand by flying glass.
 Carlsson's wife and three-year- old son, riding in the back seat es- caped injury.
 A legation official said Carlson was enroute from Hungary to Czechoslovakia. At a Russian roadblock he turned the car around, then started back when the Russian soldier shot from be- hind the roadblock.
 The Russian soldier later said he had shouted for the car to stop before firing.

Indians Object To Sale Of Timber

WASHINGTON (P)-Indians of Southeast Alaska asked a Senate subcommittee on public lands yesterday to reject bill to au- thorize sale of timber in Alaska forests to large paper companies for establishment of paper and pulp mills.
 James Curry, representing the Indians said they own 10 per cent of the l6,0O0,OOO acres in the Ton gass national forest. He argued that to permit the agriculture de partment to sell their holdings would be confiscation of their property without due process of law. He told the committee the in- terior department already had ruled the Indians own 10 per cent of the land.
 eff this land is to be sold the Indians should be permitted to sell it," Curry said. "The paper mill operators should come to the Indians and buy their timber holdings"
 Interior department officials told the committee earlier that the interior and agriculture de- partments propose to sell the tim Der for use by five paper mills to a pulp paper industry in Alaska. They said each mill would cost $25, ,OOO, ,O0O' to S5O,OOO,OOO and that at each mill town, as large as any now in the Territory, would be established.
 The legislation would provide that money received for the tim Der will be placed in the treasury to be held until Congress can de- eide the question of Indian rights to the land.

Hope To Avert
 Shipping Tie-Up

SEATTLE, (PD- A spokesman for the waterfront employers of Washington was optimistic today that final obstacles could be iron ed out to avert a coastwise ship ping tie-up at 12:O1 am. Sunday.
 The memo of agreement signed June 6 between the coasts's CIO longshoremen and employers, which would extend the present contract without change until June IS, 1948, is a basis for set clement with all other affiliated unions, he said.
 Despite delays in negotiations with the offshore unions and the California clerks and checkers, employers will be available con- tinuously to meet with any or all of the unions at any time," he said he was notified from San Francis co. The longshoremen's-e employ CTS agreement contains a cancella- ton clause which voids it, if other union agreements are not reached.
 The regional international long shoremen's and warehousemen's representatives, office said it was informed, however, that negotia- tions had broken off or were at a standtill in San Francico and that the situation was serious. The of flee has contacted various persons and groups, including the Gov ernor of Alaska, trying to bring their influence to bear on nego- tiators to reach settlement
 The spokesman said. that should a walkout occur because of the "small differences" between the two sides it would be "too bad"
 Alaska CIO longshoremen are not bound by coast contracts, he said, but attempts are being made to work out individual contracts and settlements there. The union is sending representative to Alaska to help in such negotia- tions.

Premier Nagy
 EnrOute TOU. s. To Explain Coup
By The Associated Press)

By The Associated PresS)
 Ference Nagy, deposed by the Communists as premier of Hun gary was enroute to the United States today in what diplomats said apparently was an effort to draw attention of the U. s. public to events in that central European country.
 The United States accused Rus sia earlier this week of "a most fragrant interference in Hungar- ian affairs" in the alignment which placed the communists, who boiled IF per cent of the last free vote, in charge.
 Dezo Sulyok, who denounced the Communists yesterday in the Hungarian parliament, said today his freedom party would refuse to take part in national elections scheduled for September, unless they were supervised by an inter national board.
 President Truman, who de- nounced the Communist coup in Hungary as an outrage, said on leaving Canada the U. s. foreign policy had but one objective peace in the world and friendship with every nation. His words were interpreted as an effort to oil troubled international water. Ear Her, MT. Truman told the Canadi- an parliament the United States intended to help nations who want to live in peace without in- timidation or coercion.
 British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin said secretary of state Mar shall's proposal that the United States finance joint program for Europe's economic recovery was "a bridgehead to link the east and west" The state department ad- visor, Benjamin Cohen, estimated SPA ,O0O, 100000 would be needed in six years to succor Europe.
 Bevin said it would be "disas- trous for theological or other req sons to frustrate that great endea- vor." He welcomed the fact that Russia, whose controlled press continued caustic criticism of the United States, was included in the American proposal.
 A subcommittee of the United Nations Balkan Investigating com mission was drafting a report in the Greek port of Salonika telling why it could not go into Bulgaria, recently an Axis satellite but now in the Russian sphere. The U. s. representative accused Bulgaria of failing to fulfill its obligation to provide the U. N. with full facili- ties to investigate Greek charges that Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Al bania were assisting Greek leftist rebels. The Russian representative defended the Bulgarian action.

Wallace Little Needed
White House Busy With Three Message
To Be Given on Capitol Hill Next Week

shall plan threatens to put the total
in the neighborhood of a whopping
forty billions. Budget Director
Webb, who is sweating it out with
the usual array Of protesting cab
met officers, is sure Of his savings,
though he has had to wrestle also
with rising costs everywhere.
Treasury estimates tell the budget
makers they can count on tax rev.
enues from a national income Of
nearly 200 billions next year as
compared to 178 billion this year.
The President based his special
session message on the views Of his
Council of Economic Advisors and
new warnings of economic storms
are expected from them for trans
mission to the Hill.
Taft Plugging the Answer.
Senator Taft is already plugging
the Republican answer to the cost Of
living-that it Is Mr.. Truman's fault
and he is not doing all he could with
powers he now has to curb it. The
Republicans will greet the budget
with whetted knives and a tax
reduction bill. And, regardless OF
the economists, they will oppose a
rigidly controlled economy.
The Presidents confidence Is re-
ported unimpaired by any present
disclosures In the investigation Of
speculation spanked by Harold Stas-
sen. He knows that certain reported
Stassen targets who might have
been really embarrassing are In the
clear. Under discussion as a coun-
terofensive are attacks on the vast
profits being made in some indus
tries and this may appear In the
state of the Union message.
AS for Henry Wallace, the party
line at the White House is that 1t
really doesn't matter very much and
Henry is you-know-what. Their
demonstration of the obvious Wal
lace weaknesses have still to be bal
anced against the possible popular
appeal of a peace party.

This Changing World
German Students Letters Show
Life of Privation and Disillusion

during which the tomatoes got
rotten and had to be thrown away.
Much Time Spent In Lines.
The lack Of a satisfactory fat
diet, says Hans, slows down the
mental processes. This opinion Is
not Endorsed by British scientists
who describe fats as a luxury. 1t
is approved by the Russians who
allow extra such rations to intellec-
tuals and scientists who have been
accepted to work for Soviet inter-
ests. BY experimentation, 1T was
demonstrated that student who
does not enjoy an adequate fat
ration needs four hours more to
learn a subject. At the end OF the
week the fat deficient student barely
remembered what he had learned.
There is so much time wasted IN
lining up for everything essential to
daily life that there is hardly any
time left for study. There are long
lines even in front of news stalls
whenever newspapers are available.
Not that the papers contain any
thing of great value, but are Inn
portant to wrap the few items avail
able in the stores.
The cultural vigor Of Europe which
since the Middle Ages has radiated
throughout the world is rapidly COM
ing to an end. This culture, based
principally on the Christian idea,
is now being replaced by the mod
ern view of the world" Of the "prac-
tical modern man." Europe, &C
cording to the German student, has
wasted its intellectual vigor and has
grown hollow inside" Even the
most charitable gesture from Amer
lea such as sending of food pack
ages Is now suspected as propa-
ganda.
Told 1t Is big Business"
The German correspondent con-
tinues: People in Germany ques-
ton these gifts and speculate on
their political motives They are
being told that this (the sending OF
gift packages) Is big business for
the Americans"
The Germans in the U. s. S. R.
zone are being informed that the
sending Of packages is by Gov
ernment order" for imperialistic
reasons. And being intellectually
weakened and cut of from the rest
of the world, they believe these as
sertions.
The letter concludes with what
may be considered as a typical re-
action Of the German Intellectual:
"It is useless for your people to
talk about a synthetic democratiza-
ton of Germany. They ought to try
to create human conditions over
here. Then conversion to de-
mocracy will be an inevitable con-
sequence"
And many American officials who
have visited the former Reich re-
Gently have come to the same con-
clusion. The characterization OF
Germany cannot be achieved by
"fat" of the occupation authorities
but must come from the ground up
by using the younger generation
which overwhelmingly was COM
PEELED into the Nazi ranks.

old friendly correspondence? It
happened that the American had
not peen at the lend of the gun" of
the German but had fought the war
as an aviator in the Pacific. Not

package of food. The correspondence

Hans Prefers Own Zone.
The American and the German had
"a common thought: A real peace
could be created easily if all the
Statesmen responsible for the present
mess were only moved by Christian
ideals instead of power politics.
Hans, the German, does not like
the separation of Germany into
tightly closed compartments, but
seems to prefer his own zone despite
the harsh hand of the Soviet ad-
ministrators. He was compelled for
some personal reason to go into the
British area and, he writes, had to
sneak across the boundaries like a
thief at night" Once in the British
zone he had no difficulties, he says,
such as did some of his friends who
went to the American zone tempo
rarily. "Boundary-passers into your
zone Of occupation are severely
punished" he says. I'm the past
they had only to pay fine. Now
it's six months hard labor"
The German found that the
British are more money minded"
than the Russians During his stay
in the Northwest the Dutch who had
a large tomato crop brought truck
loads to the border to sell to the
Germans below market price. How
ever, the British considered these as
luxury. Protracted negotiations
followed between the occupational
authorities and the Dutch growers
