Greeks Sign Contract
For British Planes
By The Associoied Press

ATHENS, Feb. 11.-Air Minister
Themistocles Tsatsos announced to-
day that contract had been signed
with the British government for the
delivery of airplanes and supplies to
Greece.
The announcement conceded with
dispatches from the north saying
planes were used to rout Leftist
guerrillas in, at least one of a series
of clashes in recent days. These
dispatches said government troops
had killed 95 guerrillas in the
clashes.
MIR. Tsatsos would not specify the
number of planes involved In the
contract. The Rightist newspaper
Vradyni, which has close connec-
tions with the government, said the
contract specified 300 craft, but of
fetal British sources said this figure
was an exaggeration.
The press report said the delivery
OF modern planes already had been
started and that the machines weer
being based at Athens, Larisa and
Salonika. It added that the equip
ment would be used to aid in quell.

Ice Volcano Region Surveyed

WITH NAVY ANTARCTIC Ex-
PEDITTON, Feb. 9 Delayed "A
region of ice volcanoes was surveyed
by exploring planes today. These
strange formations of shelf ice west
of Palmer Peninsula are gigantic
bowls of ice with floors mile In
diameter. They are surrounded by
ice walls 100 feet high. From above
they look like miniatures of craters
on the moons surface.
In the bottoms Of the bowls are
mounds of ice blocks 80 to 40 feet
high. The common explanation is
that some sort of gas becomes en-
trapped in the middle of the shelf
ice, resulting finally in an explosion
with the formation of craters. Later
explosions pile up blocks inside.

JERUSALEM, Feb. 11.-British

from the Jewish underground,
threw strong security precau-

a military court which yesterday
sentenced three suspected men,

Reliable informants said Col.

Jews Reject British Request.
Adding to the tension in the Holy
Land, was the formal declaration
that official Palestine Jewry had
rejected a British request to CO.

The Jewish Agency, spokesman
for 100000 Palestine Jews, said that
while it was rejecting the British

China's top economic ex-

Shanghai was city of confusion

of the currency crisis reached them.
In Marking, spokesman for the
Executive Yuan refused to confirm
the reported meeting of Gen. Chang

ment on economic measures "be-
cause of the possibility of producing
provocative effects in an already
confusing situation
When exchange markets closed,
one American dollar, worth 1880
Chinese dollars at the opening,

bars sold for 100000 Chinese dol
lars, up nearly 2,500,000 from the
opening price.
Storekeepers have been boosting
prices SO to 100 per cent daily.
Shanghai's residents could not de-
eide whether to stock up at today's
fantastic prices or gamble on to-
morrow's exchange.
Endless streams of cars and trucks
blocked traffic around filling sta
tions as owners bought up gasoline.
AS always in time for crisis, Shang-
hai's Chinese population made fran
tic efforts to buy and hoard the one
commodity it cannot do without-rice.

porters said they had done no busi-

Of

Legislation Would VioIote
Freedom Of Contract,
Labor Committee Told
BY the Associated Press

Senator Morse, Republican, of
oregon expressed doubt today
that the Supreme Court would
uphold legislation outlawing the
closed shop.
The point came up at a Senate
Labor Committee hearing when Al
mon E. Roth, president of the Ma
tional Federation Of American Ship
pers, urged prohibition of the closed
shop.
IT just can't hear the Supreme
Court saying that outlawing the
closed shop conforms to the freedom
Of contract" Senator Morse said,
adding:
II don't think it's safe for us to
pass legislation which has so many
constitutional dangers"
He said he believes the "abuses of
the closed shop" could be prevented
by amending the Wagner Act, rather
than by outright prohibition.
Among bills before the committee
is one by Senator Ball, Republican,
of Minnesota which would outlaw
closed shops. Closed shop contracts
require that all employees be MEM
bers Of a union.
Opposes Closed Shop.
Senator Morse said he wanted to
make it clear that 80 far as prefer
ence goes" he is opposed to the
closed shop.

Conservatives demanded the res

old son of Jewish clothing mer-
chant. His wife defended him in

Resign? Why should he resign?
I'd like to see them put any one else
in there who could do half as well"
Conservatives and Labor politi-
clans alike agreed there was no
immediate likelihood that Mr..
Attlee,s government would fall.
Non-partisan writer's, including the
parliamentary reporters, agreed that
Labor members of Parliament were
solidly behind the cabinet, although
some were critical because the gov
ernment had not acted drastically
earlier.

tives, and Hugh Dalton for Labor

time size tomorrow until further

siering all kinds of expedients to
deal with the national emergency.
These included the use of subma-
rines whose generators could furnish
power for small towns, and the en-
ployment of flame throwers to melt
snow drifts blocking many rail lines
The government blamed the
weather as the principal factor In
the crisis. It said practically al
coal-carrying railways were blocked
and that seaborne coal deliveries
from Welsh and northeast ports
