Marshall States U. $. Must Feed Foreign Needy

WASHINGTON, P)-Secretary of State Marshall said today i'm possible conditions" will be ere ated for the army and the govern ment'S international commitments unless Congress provides food for needy in occupied enemy coun- tries.
 Marshall told a news conference that the occupation of Germany, Austria, Korea and Japan could not be expected to continue under present procedures" if the people were starving.
 The conference was held after Marshall reported to the Senate foreign relations committee that "the world is in very critical condition."
 At the news conference, the Sec retary gave his views in response to a request for comment on bud get cuts that have been proposed in Congress. Stressing that he re- ferred solely to war department appropriations for food in the oc- cup.ed areas, Marshall replied all lowing direct quotations for en- phaSis:
 If the army is deprived of ade- quate funds to provide food for those people who are so sorely in need, a practically impossible con- dition is created for our troops and our governments position in it's international commitments.
 You can not expect to main tain occupation of countries like those if the people are starving That would be impracticable.
 "I am not discussing now those budget cuts proposed for the army and navy which are purely mili- tary. The secretary of war and the secretary of navy have discussed these.
 "I want to emphasize from the standpoint of the state department it's very immediate concern as it relates to the occupied countries" "

Cadogan asked Gromyko two questions:
 l. Does he object because he thought the provisions were super fluouS?
 ii the answer to this is affirma- tive, Cadogan said, he would ap pea. to Gromyko to drop his oppo- Sition.
 2. Does Russia feel that atomic guestions may fall within the scope of the proposed arms reduction commission?
 Cadogan also charged that Rus sia, by delaying until September t) submit any proposals to the U. N. military staff committee had failed to cooperate with the other four powers in that body. The staff committee is made up of rep rGsentatiVeS of the chiefs of staff of the five great powers.

Britain Fuel Crisis May End Soon
(By Tom Williams)

LONDON, CP)-Prime Minister Attlee and his "coal cabinet" sought today to fix an approx mate date for ending the industrial shutdown in Britain.
 The coal cabinet conference was the first indication for the islands 49,O00,000 broWnedout and shiV- ering inhabitants that the end Of the fuel crisis might be in sight.
 As drastic electricity restrictions were maintained into the fifth day, government sources said the re- turn to normal might be gradual A source close to the Prime Minis ter'S office said an important statement on the s tuation proba- ply would be issued tonight.
 However, with only slight gains registered in coal stocks at power stations the British gas council al tered the country's HOO gas plants to be ready to shut off gas sup plies to non-essential industries.
 Government sources said that purchase of American coal offered by President Truman was under consideration. However, the fact that delivery would require at least two weeks was understood tC be barrier. If the industria, blackout is to be lifted gradually Britain's task would be to step ur her domestic production.
 B. p. Aicard, secretary genera of the coal organization, said the Presidents "very generous" offer might prove impractical at the present time. The President sug- gested yesterday that coal ships now en route to continental cOun- tries be diverted to Briatin.
 WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman made public today a mes sage from Prime Minister Attlee declining an American offer of aid in the British coal crisis.

RED FEATHER
DIVISIONS START
Railroad, Industrial En-
ployees And Negro Dr.
visions KICKOFF t

Three Of the 10 divisions OF
the 1947 Red Feather campaign
of the Community Chest to
raise $11s,996 will hold their
kickoff meetings today, it was
announced yesterday by Charles
M. Harrington, general chair
man.
Today's meeting of the Rail
road, industrial employees, and
Negro divisions will complete
the kickoff of four of the 10
divisions in the campaign. The
Advance Gifts division pre-
viously began solicitation, Octo-
Der Is.
Captains and workers of the
Railroads division. with George
L. Mitchell as chairman, will
meet in the assembly room of
the ACL this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. The goal for the Rail-
roads division is $11 200.
The Industrial employees di-
vision, led by Louie E. Wood
bury, Jr., as chairman and with
a goal of 81, 500, will meet this
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the
assembly hall of the Tide Water
building. The members will re-
ceive instructions and cam
paign supplies from Woodbury.,
who was campaign chairman
last year.
Harrington said that the goal
for the Negroes division is ST.
1876 which is the objective for
residential and business solici-
tation only.
The $2,496 goal does not rep
resent the total dollars raised
by the Negroes in this commu-
nifty since a number of them
make their contributions where
they work in industrial plants,
schools, and departments of
government.
Harrington explained that it
was impossible to hold one gen.
eral campaign meeting of the
whole campaign because of the
vast amount of detailed prepa-
ration involved in a campaign
of this size.
Some divisions also take
longer to complete their work
than others, according to the
nature of the task involved, he
added.

Is Theme OF Morning
Sermon

Bishop w. w. Peele, residing
bishop of the Richmond area,
which includes Virginia and
North Carolina, told members
of the congregation of the Fifth
Avenue Methodist church that
"There is no individual in the
living Temple of God who is
unimportant."
Bishop Peele delivered the
closing sermon of the cente-
nary celebration Of the church
yesterday morning.
The bishop fashioned his pull
pit theme around the analogy
of the temple of God composed
of living individuals with a ma
terial building composed of in
animate stones.
From this analogy he select
ed three points of emphasis,
these being that each stone in
a building occupies a place es-
pecially designed for it, that
each stone must be fashioned
to fit the place for which it is
designed, and that the charac-
ter of the building is deter
mined by the character of the
cornerstone.
In his application Of these
emphasis Bishop Peele urged
his hearers to find out the
places in the living temple of
God that the Lord wishes them
