Justice was cagy on the last ques-

SPLIT ON
EUROPEAN
SITUATION
Diplomatic Officials Pre-.
dict New, Rougher
Phase at UNGA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. ~
Diplomatic officials predicted today
that American relations with Russia
are likely to enter new and rough
er phase at the United Nations
General Assembly session opening
| in New York next week.
A whole series of dramatic diplo-
matte developments heightening The
Russo-American conflict and bear
ing vitality upon related problems
of the European economic crisis are
in prospect before and after Secre-
tary of State Marshal leads the Am
erican delegation to the assembly
meeting.
Foremost among these will be the
Truman administrators decision
on whether to call special session
of Congress to consider a temper
airy aid fund for Europe. This would
be an advance against the billions
which the administration hopes
Congress will provide early next
year for the long term Marshall
recovery program.
State Department experts gave up
their weekend holiday to work OH
the latest facts and figures American
officials brought back from the cur
rent Paris Economic Conference
seeking to translate the mutual
help idea into concrete terms.
While it has not been emphasized
in recent State Department pro-
nouncements on the subject. one
of the main considerations in Of
fetal thinking on the European sit
uation is this; II the United States
does not take some measures to
help hard-pressed European coun-
tries exist until the Marshal plan
can become effective. Russia will
take advantage of the resulting
political and social upheavals to pusll
Communism aggressively in western
Europe.

Senator After Alaska Visit
Returns South : New

SEATTLE, Sept. Satisfied
that Alaska is now strong corner
stone in Americas defense, Sen
Harry p Cain, r.. flew back tc
Seattle Saturday night after TO-
day tour of the Territory.
"Alaskans do not feel they are
being let down. I was amazed at
the vast amount of construction
work completed and underway, and
the morale of our armed forces
there - as fine as I have seen any
where the Senator said. Cain him
self spent three years overseas in
the paratroopers.
Cain, responsible for pushing the
so-called Tongass National Forest
bill through Congress in the last
hour Of its sessions in Washington,
expressed confidence measures of
the bill would greatly ease American
newsprint problems.
Under the measure passed by
Congress, the government would
open virtually all the vast timber
tracts of Southeast Alaska to pri-
vate production of newsprint.
Alaskan forests have potential
of 100000 tons of newsprint an
nually and / am confident that this
new industry can be built up with
out endangering Alaska's main in
dusty. its fisheries Cain caid.
Talks with Alaskan spokesman
from all branches of government
and industry convinced Cain, the
Senator said, that damages to the
fishing industry from pulp fluid and
logs in streams can be averted.
Furthermore the trip convinced
me that by proper use of an 80-year
cycle of selective logging, there is
no danger that this huge resource
will be wasted. Instead, at the end
of 80 years Alaskan timber resources
will be greater than they are to-
day." Cain said.
The United States, Cain said, now
buys 80 per cent of its newsprint
from markets outside its continental
boundaries.

and who has dragged all sorts Of
queer people in to take up the
Presidents time with personal in

General Vaughan calls Clifford

Latest flare-up occurred when
Vaughan and his sidekick, Secre-
tary of Treasury John Snyder, who
visited Rio de Janeiro last spring
worked out a complete itinerary

1t proved very tentative indeed
after Clark Clifford heard about

Vaughan. This is something we've
