Steel for Soviet Zone
NOT YET Embargoed,
U. 5. Official Says

BERLIN, Mar. 24.-An American
official in the economically merged
United States-British. zones of Ger
many says that as yet zonal author
tiles have made no reduction nor
embargo of shipments" Of iron and
steel to the Russian zone, but that
they will "have to set date for
action" if interzonal trade is not
brought into balance.
M. S. Szymczak, director Of this
economics division Of the American
military government, making this
statement yesterday, described as a
faux pas" British an
nouncement Friday that such ship
ments to the Soviet zone had been
reduced and that full embargo was
being considered.
Subsequent to the latter an
nouncement, a release cleared by
the public relations Office of the
Bizonal Economics Administration
at Minden became known through
officials there. This release said
these shipments were today Fri-
day. suspended for an indefinite
period" The release was based on
a communique already drafted but
then still under discussion in Berlin.
The joint statement mentioning
suspension of shipments said the
action was being taken because the
Russian zone had become more and
more delinquent in deliveries to the
British United States zone promised
in an interzonal trade pact. The
statement said the British-Ameri-
can zones had shipped "a per cent
of pact commitments to the Soviet
zone.
Mr.. Szymczak said that three or
four weeks ago the director of
economics of the Soviet Military
Administration had been given a
formal request for fresh Russian
efforts to bring interzonal trade
into balance. He reported that the
director had not yet replied.
Warning that some action might
be taken eventually. Mr.. Szymczak
added: THAT doesn't mean we will
send steel deliveries elsewhere, but
rather that we will hold them aside
until the Russians catch up with
deliveries of their products to our
zone. Now that spring weather re-
lieves transport conditions, they
may catch up"
The German Central Ministry for
trade in the Soviet zone took ex-
ception to British American charges
of o,,arx,l, a I'm roolu oyo-cidad Couiot
delinquencies in a statement put
out through the Russian-co controlled
German news agency.
This statement said winter trans
port troubles had slowed down de-
liveries in all zones and that "de-
linquencies of the Soviet zone are
by no means larger than those of
the western zones" The ministry
said interzonal trade was in balance
as of March 20. 1t declared the
western zones delivered only 80 per
cent of their. commitments in the
first 1947 quarter.
Taking issue with this, an inter-
zonal trade official of the American
military government said the United
States zone by December 81 had
shipped the Soviet zone $4,000 more
tons of steel than their 1946 agree
ment called for, while the Soviet
zone at that time was behind in de-
liveries. He declared the arrearage
carried over when the American
and British zones were combined
for economic purposes on New Year
Day.

Scientists Urge Truman to Deny
Private Jobs to German Experts

ANY favor extended to such in
dividuals, even for military reasons,
represents an affront to the people
of all countries who so recently
fought beside US, to the refugees
whose lives were shattered by
Nazism, to our unfortunate scientific
colleagues of formerly occupied
lands and to all of those others who
suffered under the yoke these men
helped to forge.
1--WE therefore respectfully urge
that the use of Nazi scientists by
the armed forces be held to an alb
solute minimum, that none of them
be granted citizenship, that none
of them be given employment in
industrial or academic installations,
and that all of them be sent back
to Germany as soon as possible"

a year to prevent starvation OF the
Germans in the American and Brit
ish zones alone. The drain is likely
to be even greater after peace unless
the policies now in action are
changed.
Therefore, entirely aside from
any humanitarian and political as
poets, policies which will restore
productivity in Germany and ex-
ports with which to buy their food
and relieve this drain upon us are
of primary Importance.
But our economic interest is
far wider than this. We desperately
need recovery in all of Europe. We
need it not only for economic rea-
sons but as the first necessity to
peace.
Only One Path to Recovery.
"There is only one path to re-
covery in Europe. That is produc-
tion. The whole economy of Europe
is interlinked with German economy
through the exchange of raw ma
terials and manufactured goods. The
productivity of Europe cannot be
restored without the restoration of
Germany as a contributor to that
productivity"
In his previous reports to Presi-
dent Truman, Mr.. Hoover recon-
mended that the United States pay
SAFE, 100000 for food for German
civilians in the 18 months beginning
last January l as an essential con-
tribution to peace and order in the
Western World. The plan, however,
recommended that Germany be re-
quired to repay the amount from
exports.
He also recommended that an es-
ti1nated $155, 100000 be spent for
Austrian relief during the next Is
months but said the country prob
ably could be self-supporting by
1850 or 1851 if its land and equip
ment were freed by a peace treaty
and foreign troops removed from
its soil

Britain, or some one else was giving
this aid we would not be called on
to take this action" the Senator
added.
Troop Statement Emphatic.
When Senator Connally also COM
plimented the Acting Secretary for
repeating his unequiyocal statement
of last week that no troops are to
be sent to Greece or Turkey, Mr..
Acheson replied: There ought to
be no doubt left on that score"
Mr.. Acheson also greed with Sen
ator Connally when he suggested
the Greek-Turk proposal is not a
reversal of American policy and
does not mean that any country
can get aid merely by applying for it.
After declaring, People are cry
ing, Why not let the U. N. handle
it," Senator Connally said the
u. N. was not intended to be loan
agency. It's function, he said, is to
intervene to prevent acts OF aggres-
sion or threats to peace. Even in
that respect the Senator said the
United Nations organization has not
yet acquired police force.
Mr.. Acheson said the Military
Staff Committee of U. N. has been
struggling for more than a year
with the question of an interna-
tional force to maintain peace.
Connally Fears Greek Collapse.
ITO wait would mean the collapse
OF Greece, would it not?" asked the
Texan.
"The situation in Greece is very
Immediately critical" the Acting
Secretary responded.
Senator Vandenberg said it is i'm
portant to make clear the steps
that would have to be taken to meet
the views of those who suggest
Greeces relief needs should go to
the United Nations.
The chairman developed by ques-
tions that Greece's plea would have
to. be considered by the General
Assembly, which could not meet in
less than 80 days. Then, the most
the Assembly could do would be to
recommend an assessment on MEM
ber nations.
80, the net result would be that
we would still be putting up the
major part of the money, but would
not have control of its use" Sen
ator Vandenberg concluded.
No World Monroe Doctrine"
Senator Smith, Republican, OF
New Jersey, questioning Mr.. Ache
son, said he had been greatly dis
turbed by press reports that this
country was to establish Monroe
Doctrine" all over the world. He
wanted Mr.. Acheson to say whether
the so-called Truman policy" con-
templated any such thing.
Mr.. Acheson replied that the

expected to answer a wide range of
questions on this new phase Of
American foreign policy.
100 Questions Revealed.

ASA4SeAA4 AVA S46AA kS41SJs
100 Questions Revealed.
Chairman Vandenberg made pub
lie a list of 100 questions he sub
mitted to the State Department
March 20. They represent a COM
posite of queries from Senators
generally. Many of the questions
already had been answered by Mr..
Acheson during two days of cross
examination in the House. He also
dealt with several of them in his
prepared statement today.
Mr.. Acheson,s disavowal of any
advance agreements with England
was prompted by some of the ques-
tions he said have come to the
State Department.
Mr.. Acheson said the fact Greece
has King does not necessarily
make the form of government less
democratic than other countries,
such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
The Netherlands and Great Britain.
In any event, he said, in Greece to-
day 1--WE do not have 8 choice be-
tween a perfect democracy and an
imperfect democracy. The question
is whether there shall be any de-
mocracy at all"
Mr.. Acheson repeated to the Sen
ate committee his statement that
the United Nations organization is
not yet equipped to give the kind
Of aid Greece needs quickly to avert
economic collapse.
He was equally emphatic in tell
ing the Senators no soldiers are 60
ing to Greece and Turkey. He said
"The present proposals do not in
clude our sending troops to Greece
or Turkey. We have not been asked
to do so. We do not foresee any
need to do so. And we do not in
tend to do SO. We have no under
standings with either Greece or Tur-
key, oral or otherwise, in regard to
the sending of troops to those coun-
tries"
At the House hearing Mr.. Clay
ton was giving that committee a
breakdown of the $400,000,000 aio
bill. He said that of the $500, ,000,-
900 Greece will need, approximately
half would be devoted to equipping
the Greek armed forces to deal
effectively with the guerrillas. The
establishment of military security
he said, is an essential prerequisite
to economic stability.

the documents asserted, "the Greek
Communists have employed their
propaganda organs and directed
their underground elements to OBJ
struct political cooperation and un-
dermine the internal security of the
country"
The latest estimate of the strength
of the rebel armed bands fighting in
Greece was given as only $4,000 men.
They were described as "dispropor-
tionately strong" however, because
of efficient organization and leader
ship contrasted with extreme
weakness of the Greek armed
forces"
AS in Greece, the documents said
any plans for undermining the
Turkish Army depend upon the
amount of financial aid that can be
obtained from foreign sources"
Poland was called Soviet "satel-
lite"-perhaps for the first time in
such a document-in a review of
Russia's asserted attitude of hos
tility toward the present Greek
government. This paper said the
Soviet member on a United Ma
tions Commission investigating bor-
der fighting in Northern Greece has
been "aided by his Polish satellite"
in doing Everything possible to
place Greece in an unfavorable
light"
Greek Independence Held Vital.
One document declared that "the
United States recognizes that the
maintenance of Greek independence
and territorial integrity is of i'm
portance to the security and inde-
pendence of the whole near and
middle eastern area, which is of
vital Importance to United States
security"
It also disclosed that the United
States:
1. Has advised Greece that "we
favor a retention without
change of 1899 Greek boundaries" in
the Interests of overall Balkan
stability"
2. Will support the Greek desire
TO present its claim against Albania
for northern Epirus to the Foreign
Ministers Council after the Council
has completed the peace treaties.
3. Favors the development of a
free zone under Greek sovereignty
in the port of Salonika, to provide
a commercial outlet to the Aegian
for Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
4. Favors Britain's cession to
Greece of the island of Cyprus,
where Britain now holds Jews at
| tempting to enter Palestine.
5. Is now negotiating treaty of
friendship, commerce and naviga-
ton with Greece.
Working Paper Only.
Officials, when asked about these
points, said the document was a

policy.
One document recalled that the
United States has recommended to
Greek authorities a broadening Of

more representative by including
loyal Greek parties not represented
in Parliament.

The Federation of American
Scientists today urged that German
scientists brought to this country
for work on military research pro-
jects be denied jobs in private in
dustry or education.
Their return to Germany "as soon
as possible" also was suggested in a
letter to President Truman from
w. A. Higinbotham, executive sec
retary of the federation.
During this critical postwar
period of national and international
adjustment, wholesale importation
of scientists is not in keeping with
the best objectives of American
domestic and foreign policy" Mr..
Higinbotham wrote Mr.. Truman,

fense of the area"
The documents set forth in detail
the reasons behind the United
States plan to act independently in
Greece and Turkey, rather than
call upon the United Nations to
shoulder the burden. In general,
they followed the arguments ad-
vanced by President Truman and
Undersecretary of State Acheson-
that swift action is essential, that
the United Nation is not yet
equipped to deal with the situation.
"But," said one document, I'VE
can take immediate steps to initiate
international action to assist Greece
in the solution of some of her prob
lens.
World Bank Loans Hinted.
"The United States Is prepared to
aid the Greek government in devel-
oping projects which might qualify
for a loan from the International
Bank. United States person.

of funds advanced to Greece will be

long run worldwide economic sta
bility can only be obtained and pre-
served with maximum advantage to
the United States by using interna-
tional agencies wherever appropri-
ate. For this reason, we are ex-
