Tariff Must Protect Fishing Industry

SEATTLE, (P)-E. A. Ruthford, who represented the entire west coast fishing industry at state de- partment hearings last January, said today Russian fishermen will be in a position ito ruin the Amer ican fishing industry" unless tar if protection is granted.
 He made the comment in regards to Senator Magnuson's statement to secretary of state Marshall yes terday that Russians using l6 for mer U. s. vessels have invaded" the northern fishing waters.
 A similar viewpoint on tariffs was expressed by Harold E.. Lok- ken, manager of the fishing vessel owners association. He however, said he considers the Russian threat potential rather than ac- tual."
 Harold Grotle, secretary of the deep sea fishermen's union, said fishermen are HOO per cent behind any move to stop Russia from mov- ing in on the Boring Sea fishing grounds.

Krug Orders 5lS Mines To Close

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of the interior Krug Thursday or de"ed the indefinite closing of 5l8 coal mines for safety reasons and John L. Lewis commented;
 May God in Heaven forgive him" for not closing them before III miners died at Centralia, III.
 Krug announced that 2,Ol3 other mines in government possession will be permitted to reopen next Monday at the end of the miners six-day mourning period for the Centralia victims, provided the pits are certified as safe.
 The 5l8 mines ordered closed by krug because they are believed dangerous, employ 10000 work CTS.
 Lewis was testifying on mine safety to a House committee when Krug issued the order at the In- terior Department.
 "1 point out" the united mine workers chief said, that secretary Krug is doing now what he should have done ever since the safety code became effective. He's start ing to enforce his own code-but after III men died at Centralia.
 "NoW on this particular day of our Lord, MT. Krug found 5l8 mines not safe.
 May God in Heaven forgive him for not finding those mines be- fore and not closing them down before those men died"

MOlOtOv Answers Aid Message
(By Eddy Gilmore)

MOSCOW P)-Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, in the first official Soviet comment on President Tru- mans proposed aid to Greece, went on record today in an interview with Johannes Steel with the dec laration he doubted the plan would restore democracy" there.
 The best way to restore democ- racy to Greece would be to do away with foreign intervention, Molotov commented.
 The implication that Greece was no democracy at present was an assumption advanced by Steel, American writer and radio com mentator, who put the question to Molotov in this way: Do you be- lieve that President Truman's pro- posed American policy on Greece will restore democracy to Greece?"
 Molotov's declaration on Greece and other questions came in a se- ries of 10 questions and answers put to him in writing by Steel, who arrived in Moscow early in the conference of foreign minis ters. (The exchange was broadcast by the Moscow radioD
 Molotov stated a compromise was possible between Russia's pro- posal for a unified Germany and the United States plan for fed eral Germany, if the questions could be decided by German pie beetle.

Friday. April {. ls47
Moscow Meeting
 Listed As Failure

MOSCOW, R)-Official sources said today that Soviet foreign min ister V. M. Molotov, despite his in- sistent demand for American and British reports on China, had thus far failed to furnish a Soviet state ment in an exchange of informa- ton.
 April l was the agreed deadline for the exchange of information on China demanded by Molotov. The U. s. secretary of state, George C.. Marshall, sent Molotov statement last Monday, few hours before the deadline.
 There has been no explanation of Molotov's failure to give the Soviet side.
 Meanwhile, a special committee trying to plan on agenda for to- nights meeting of the council of foreign ministers on German po- litical principles was reported bog ged down in disagreement. The members were hopeful, however, of finishing this work by the scheduled time of the councils meeting at 6 p.m., two hours later than usual.
 Already, diplomats are begin hing to argue whether the Moscow conference should be written off as a failure.
 Gen. Lucius D. Clay's statement in Berlin yesterday that "all hope has been given up of reaching a settlement on separations at this conference" was viewed by most Moscow observers as a correct eS- timate of the situation, but some authorities argued that the final evaluation could not be made until the last session is held.

Axe Not Being Used On Military Appropriations

WASHINGTON, P)-House ap- propriations committee members, trying to pare down multi-billion dollar army and navy budgets for next year said today they are Op- erating with "a scalpel rather than a meat axe"
 They predicted there would be no drastic cut in the Sl0, ,270, ,053, 400 total for the two departments be- cause present conditions through out the world make it risky to cut too deeply.
 This was the concensus of a number of committee members al though Rep. Albert J. Engel R.- Mich.D was the only one who would permit use of his name. 4 member of the army apprOpria- tions subcommittee it was he who used the "scalpel" phrase.
 A navy subcommittee member called the sea forces budget "one of the tightest ever sent to the cap itol by any President"
 There just isn't any place in it for a large cut" he commented.
 The Presidents military budget for the. year starting July l seeks S3,5O4, ,546,3O0 for the navy and $6,765, ,5O7,lOO for the army.
 During a recent Congressional committee hearing, secretary Of war Patterson cautioned that meat axe cuts" in the army bud get might endanger national se- curity.
 Republican fiscal leaders in the House have set a goal of S6,000,- 000,000 to be cut from the Presi- dents 1948 budget of $37,500,OO0,- 900. The army-navy figures ac- count for 2 per cent of the total budget, while bills dealing with 38 per cent more already have been passed by the House with an az gregate reduction of less than one billion.

More Safety For Miners, Lewis Asks
tBY Douglas Cornell and Max Hall)

WASHINGTON, (P) John L. Lewis demands for greater safety for men who mine coal in what he called underground slaughter houses" brought ready promises of help from Congress today.
 Various House members urged safety laws with teeth"
 Lewis got some support, too, for a proposal that the government give back the S710,00O contempt of court fine on him and his united mine workers union to help Wid- oWs and orphans of men who died in the two big mine explosions of recent years-Centralia, H., last week and straight Creek, Ky, in 1945.
 But members of a House labor subcommittee who h ard the booming UNIV president testify for six hours yesterday showed no inclination to go along with his suggestion that Congress ask Pres ident Truman to fire secretary of the interior Krug.
 MT. Truman himself left no doubt that he is standing squarely behind his cabinet officer.
 Certainly not, the President de- clared in response to a news con- ference question whether he had given any thought to removing him. MT. Krug is an efficient pub lie official, the chief executive added.
 But he said he would leave any reply to Lewis up to Krug.
 As he had done before-and this time with all the spectacular ora tory he can turn on at will-the UNIV chief again accused Krug before the House hearing yester- day of letting III men die at Gen. tralia last week through criminal negligence" in failing to enforce safety standards.
 The subcommittee planned to give Krug his chance to fire back sometime after next Thursday.
 Krug advised a Senate subcom- mittee making an on-the-spot in- vestigation at Centralia yesterday that federal inspection of the mine only week before the ex-
