MARSHALL HITS
 STRAIGHT OUT AT RUSS PROPAGANDA
Says II Is Time to Call HaIt on Brazen, Confempu-
 ous Barrage of Lies

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-lR- Secretary of State Marshall inject ed a new element of toughness to- day in this country's patient-but- firm policy toward Russia.
 Charging that Soviet officials and their Communist allies are lying and know they're lying in a "brazen and contemptuous' propa- ganda barrage against his Europ- can recovery plan, Marshall de- clared it is time to call halt"
 We do not propose to stand by and watch the disintegration of the international community to which we belong" the Cabinet officer asserted on the eve of his departure for a face to face meeting with Russian Foreign Min ister Molotov
 But while his speech in Chicago last night was his toughest yet as Cabinet officer, Marshall never theless pledged that his sole aim at next weeks Big Four Foreign Ministers conference in London will be to find a sound basis for a European peace settlement.
 The Secretary omitted any men, ton of the idea of making peace with Germany without Russia Rather he said the United States will work for the creation of "a provision central authority in a federated German state" as a step toward the final framing of a formal treaty
 For himself, he said, NO matter what the provocation,' his only purpose at London will be to end the present tragic stalemate and to speed the advent of new era of peace and hope for Europe and the world"
 However, Marshall said the American people have been goaded into active resentment" by the campaign of "vilification and dis tortion of American motives in foreign affairs waged by both Soviet officials and Communist groups.
 These opponents of recovery charge the United States with imperialist design, aggressive pur- poses, and finally with a desire to provoke a third world war" the soldier diplomat declared, adding:
 T wish to state emphatlcally that there is no truth whatsoever in these charges, and l add that those who make them are fully aware of this fact"

BODY OF CHILD
 WASHED AWAY IN
 SEWER I5 FOUND
Mother, m Afraid of inc Water, Sill Rings
 in Parents Ears

SEATTLE, Nov, 19-tR-Littlt Sherron Rothrocks words. Mother I'm afraid of the water" seemed to her parents like remembered prophecy today.
 Late yesterday, the five-year-olc girls body. still clad in her new green coat and new overshoes, was found on a beach near Fort Law ton. She had been carried approxi- mately 86 miles through under ground sewers after falling down a manhole Monday night.
 "If there'd only been a crossed grill below to stop her fall," her father, Dean Rothrock, a city bus driver, said.
 Its too late for that. But in case this should happen to someone else"
 Battalion Fire Chief James l.. Carey found her body. He acted on a "hunch," he said, after checking on Puget Sound tides
 There was a low tide Monday night about the time the child fell into the manhole while walking with her father and aunt to bus in a heavy rainstorm near First Hill. A heavy overflow of water may have displaced the cover.
 Carey estimated yesterday morn ing's high tide might have floateo the body to shore. So he walked the beach near the north trunk sewer outlet. He found her body near the high water mark, about 300 feet from the outlet.
 Rothrock and his sorrowing wife, Irene, recalled how the little kind ergarten girl watched the heavy rain as they sat down to dinner Monday night.
 Mother, I'm afraid of the water, she said

TRUMAN'S PLAN TO BE TAKEN UP
 BY COMMITTEES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-tR- Chairman Taft rR-Ohio) said to- day the Senate-House economic committee will begin hearings Fri | day on points in President Tru- mans cost of living program, but proposals for limited rationing and price control will not be includ- ed.
 Taft told reporters the commit tees has decided to exclude from its agenda, at least for the pres ent, the rationing and price control points
 T think that if we are going to get anything out of this special session of Congress, we will have to leave those points until the reg ular session." Taft said.
 Taft earlier had told a reporter credit and export controls are the two recommendations by MT. Tru- man most likely to win approval of Congress in program to com- bat imitation. He also said modi- fled rent control extension law might be passed by the Republican controlled Congress.
 The Ohioan, an avowed candi- date for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination, had denounced the price-wage controls and con- sumer rationing proposals as a step toward a completely totalitar- ian nation.'
 AFL President William Green de- clared in a broadcast last night the organized labor also is oppos- ed to price and wage controls, ex- cept ns a last resort in case of national crisis"
 Taft, who heads the Senate House economic committee begin ming a study of the Presidents controversial proposals today, told a reporter he thinks credit controls represent "a proper field for gov einment supervision"
 T have been for export controls all along and want to see them continued the Ohio Senator said. Meanwhile Chairman Wolcott CR- Mich.) announced that the House Banking committee will begin hearings next week, probably Tues day, on MT. Trumans economic control program.
 Wolcott said administration wit nesses will be heard first, followed hy representatives of labor, in- dustry, agriculture and consumers

WILL DROP BIG BOMBS
 FOR TESTS

WASHINGTON, Nov l9.-tR- The Air Force will begin test drops of the worlds heaviest bomb "a 42,000-pounder-in about two weeks at Muroc Air Base in the California desert, it was learned today.
 Twelve of the huge missiles have been delivered by the Army Ord nance Department for the experi- ments.
 The modified BPS Superfortress which will carry the record bomb aloft is at Elgin Field Florida. Its crew has completed a course of special training.
 The mammoth bomb will be sus- pended from newly devised shack les, half in and half out of the heightened bomb bay and will clear the ground by bare inches when the airplane makes its take off run.
 The bombs dropped at Muroc probably will be "duds," weight ed to compensate for the lack of explosive charges.
 Heights To Be Varied
 The fact that several are being used suggests that releases will be from varying heights to observe the characteristics of fall and the depths of penetration in the earth
 It is assumed that Army ord- nance experts will conduct their own tests of the explosive poten- tial, including the detonating of bombs planted at depths correspond ing to those attained in the high altitude drops.
 From their experiments, the ord- nance men will get their informa- ton on earthshock, blast area and zones of damage.
 Because of the size of the charge, some officers suggested the ex- plosion tests will be made at re- mote ordnance and bombing ranges in the West.
 Heaviest Load Lifted
 The Air Force said the 42,000 pounds will be the heaviest bomb load ever lifted by plane. Toward the end of the war 1928 was con- Verted to carry the two 22,000 pound bombs-one under each wing flor use against Japan, but it never flew a mission.
 Airmen assume that the BPS in the Muroc tests will leap violently when the 21-ton bomb is releas- ed. They pointed out when re- latively insignificant 1000 pound salvo Of bcmbs was dropped from the smaller wartime B-17s, the air planes shot sharply upwards.
 The Muroc experiments are ex- pected to be conducted in secrecy and no technical information will be released on the results obtain ed.
 The air field at the sprawling Muroc military installation has been used recently for record-breaking speed tests of both Air Force and Navy jet aircraft.

SENATE COM.
 NOW PROBING ALASKA DEAL
Senator Butler Goes Into FaGfs Regarding Natural
 Resources of North
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-tR- 1 Purchase of $2o,000,000 worth of I timber by the Timber Development <, Corporation of New York from two
 Indian villages in Alaska is being investigated by the Senate Public Lands Committee
 Senator Butler (R-Neb), Chair : man of the committee, said today that when the United States pur- chased Alaska from Russia it &C., quired all oi it's natural resources no. then held in private ownership. We are looking into the matter
 thoroughly" Butler told reporter,
 to find out by what right any group in Alaska thinks it has auth crity to sell the natural resources of any area in Alaska simply be- cause they or their ancestors might , have lived in or near the area. U. s. Acquires Title T am under the impression that when the United States purchased Alaska it acquired title to all the
 natural resources therein. Title to property actually in the possession
 CT belonging to individuals would perhaps be respected. l The law firm of James E. Curry
 of Washington and New York an-
 nounced it had negotiated con- tract between the corporation and
 the Indian villages of Rake and
 Kasaan for the timber, to be de-
 livered over five year period. Natives vs. Government Richard c. Green, attorney for the corporation, said later he be-
 lieved the title of the Indians to the timber was better than that of the government and the company will stand hy its deal. Curry, counsel for Indians of southeast Alaska, negotiated the agreement after enactment of the Tongass National Forest Law this
 summer.
 This act authorizes the Forest
 Service to sell southeast Alaska 1 timber to companies wishing to es- tablish newsprint and pulp indus try in the Territory It provides
 that income from the sale will be held in the Treasury until the claims of the Indians are decided. 1 Seward Was Cautious 1 Study of the treaty by which
 Russia ceded the Territory to the United States shows that the ques- ton of land rights concerned Sec retary of State Seward, who nego-
 tiated it.
 The first sentence of Article Two reads.
 | Tn the cession of territory and
 dominion made by the preceding
 article are included the right of

 lie buildings. notifications, barracks and other edifices which are not private property
 Clause To Article 6 : A closing sentence was added to Article Six at Stewards insistence and with the consent of the Presi-
 dent he added s2O0000 to the pur-
 chase price to get Russia to insert , it. This reads:

 min!on herein made is hereby de-
 clared to be free and unincumbered
