CLAIMS RUSSIA
 OFFERED NAYS
 PEACE IN 1943
Secret Mission Reported in Liberty Magazine Arfi-
 lIe by Dr. Slhwdrz

NEW YORK, June 19. R-An article in Liberty magazine, titled "A Secret Russian Mission that AL most Changed History" says that Russia suggested separate peace to Germany in January, l943, at a time when the Germans had been thrown back at Stalingrad and Rommel had suffered setbacks in Africa.
 Appearing today in the July 5 issue of the magazine, the article was written by Dr. Paul SchwarE, member of the German Foreign Service for 20 years before the Nazis came to power, who became an American citizen and served in the O.S.S. during the war, and Guy Richards, Washington reporter.
 The article said that under the Russian proposal, Germany was to give the Soviets free hand behind 8 line roughly from Riga, on the CO OilC I%dl 0QiiCiiSo olitt ciNt Russia if she attacked Turkey and Russia was to start immediately ito supply quantities of raw materials, including oil and manganese, to help sustain the German war effort elsewhere"
 The negotiations were ended by Russia, the article said, in the be- lief Germany had let word of them spread so far there was danger the offer might come to ahe attention of Russia's allies, then planning the invasion of France.
 Similar Russian negotiations, in the fall of 1943, were mentioned briefly during the Nuremberg trial.
 State Department officials in Washington said they had mo in formation on the subject whatever and other official informants there said search of German state pap CTS brought to this country made no reference to such an early peace offer.

TRUMAN IS SILENT ON
 DECISION
President Confronted by Sharply Conflicting
 Views on Action

WASHINGTON, June 19. = lR- President Truman worked behind closed doors today on the message he will send Congress tomorrow an- nouncing his decision on the union curbing labor bill
 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross and White House aides gave no indication whether MT. Truman has decided to sign or veto the Taft Hartley legislation.
 Ross declined to be drawn out by reporters questions as to MT. Tru- mans likely action. He did say the message to Congress may be avail able around noon tomorrow, but added that he wouldn't even guar antee" the time.
 MT. Truman, who must act on the bill by tomorrow midnight-other- wise it will become law without his signature-has been confronted by sharply conflicting views within his own party as to the step he should take.
 The President refused to listen to a Southern Democrat appeal for him to sign the bill. ss, .-.
 Col. Marion Rusnton, Democratic National Committeeman from Mont gomery, Ala, raised the question at a White House conference in the course of which he asked MT. Tru- man to approve the legislation.
 A Democratic Party official told reporters MT Truman cut short this line of discussion. The official said MT. Truman remarked that he will make his own decision on the basis of an analysis he is now studying.
 The President, this official added told the Democrats that he had not listened to the labor people or to the anti-labor people during the controversy over the bill, and that he wasn't going to discuss his course with the Democratic delegation.

 Chatsworth presented 24-year- old Mayor Bill Groves. Lavonia puts forward Mayor Ernest Van diver, who is few months young CT than Mosely.
