RUSS DEMAND HALTS PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Marshall Accuses Molotoy of Wanting "Puppei
 State of Austria

MOSCOW, April 18-lR-Secre- tary of State Marshall tonight ac- cused Soviet Foreign Minister V Nj. Molotoy of trying to create a puppet state of Austria, after Mo lotov had rejected an American comproni-- plan tor the definition of German assets there.
 Bitter exchanees between Mar shall and Britain Ernest BeYin on the one side, and Moloto9 cn the other, appeared to doom the slim hope that an Austrian peace treaty would emerge from the con- ference here. Georges Bidault of France observed:
 It is clear thao no agreement has been reached on this article German assets in Austria and the result of this discussion has not helped our work"
 Marshall said: MT. Molotoy seems to be saying there should be no free and independent Austria. If MT. Molotoy's proposals are &C., cepted Austria would become a puppet under foreign control and the United States could not sub scribe to such a treaty.
 Earlier Foreign Minister Karl Gruber of Austria appealed to the Council to finish the Austrian treaty quickly.

MORE TALK FOR ALASKA
 STATEHOOD

WASHINGTON, April 18.-lR- William L. Baker, editor of the Ketchikan, Alaska. Chronicle, told the House Territories Subcom- mittee today that if Alaska be- comes a state, we won't send boys to do mans work" in the Legis- lature.
 The committee is considering leg islation to make the Territory a State
 Most of Alaska's revenue troubles, Baker testified, are due to the in fluence of special interests in the Territorial Legislature. Low tax revenue, he said, is due to the fact that absentee business owners didn't want to pay more"
 Baker said popular sentiment heavily favored an income tax but the Legislature turned it down.
 He contended mistakes of the Army during it's occupation of Al aska and a lack of Federal de- partmental policy regarding tim Der and water power are blocking industrial development.
 Rep. Snyder tR-WVa) who serv- ed in Alaska as a staff supply of- ficer and afterward as disposal agent for the War Assets Admin istration, told the committee that government agencies strangled in many ways the development of AL aska" Development of the Terri tory depends, he said, on freedom of operation.
 He expressed the view that the Territory has developed as far as it will under Federal administration. People with large holdings he said, "are best served by a Terri torial government.
 Harrie Bohlke, Director of In- dustrial Relations for Seattle, Wash, told the committee, Alaska, as a Territory, is seriously handicapped in road construction funds He said the Federal Highway Act gives the Territory only half what it would be allowed as a state.
 Rep. Price (D-IlD supported the statehood bill
 "The people," he said, are fully aware of their responsibilities.

Ruling Made on
 patking 0ysters,
 Washington 5taie

WASHINGTON, April 18.-R- The Food and Drug Administra- ton informed the office of Rep. Norman, (R-Wash today there is nothing to restrict the canning of Pacific oysters if the canners will fill the cans as full as practi- cable of properly prepared oysters without injuring the quality or ap- pearance.
 The letter was in answer to a protest by Norman over the agen- cys insistence that oyster canners in Washington State put more meat in the cans.
 Norman said that enforcement of the new order now would force many packers to close down in the middle of the packing season, because the Washington oysters are large and the cans cannot be filled as fully as with smaller oys- ters.

BILL

Legislation that Lands in Senate Has Check Reins
 on Unions, Strikes

WASHINGTON, April 18.-lTl- The House Labor bill, laced with tight checkreins on unions and strikes-and backed by more than enough votes to override Pres idential veto-landed in the Sem ate today.
 It got a cautious reception there.
 The Senate expects to start de- bate rext week on it's own bill, which lacks many Of the union surbs the House voted.
 Chairman Taft (R-Ohio) of the Senate Labor Committee hopes to add some on the floor.
 The House passed its bill late yesterday by a lop-sided roll call vote of 308 to TOT. A powerful coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats pushed it through, after rejecting all amend mentS to tone it down.
 In some respects the House bill and the Senate measure are alike. For example, both would:
 Ban the closed shop, which com pels the boss to hire only union members.
 Permit the more common union shop where a majority of work CTS vote for it, and-in the case of the House bill-where employ CTS want it. Under union shop agreements, workers must join the union shortly after they are hired.
 Authorize court injunctions to stop or block national paralysis" strikes, such as a coal or telephone strike. The injunctions would stay in effect during compulsory med iation.
 . Set up a new federal mediation agency, independent of the Labor Department.
 Make unions liable for unfair labor practices. Employers already are.

The W ashinqton Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON A merle a II housewives will be glad to know that the high cost of living worries the wives of Senators as well as the rest of us.
 Last week, Mrs. Truman and Mrs. James F. Byrnes were guests of honor at dinner given by Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler, wife of ex-Senator from Montana. The la- dies present were the wives of Sen- ators who had served with Wheel CT, including blonde Mrs. Gerald Nye, wife of the ex-Senator from North Dakota.
 The ladies got started on the high cost of living when Mrs. Lis ter Hill, wife of the stalwart Sem ator from Alabama, told about an English friend who recently arrived in this country.
 "She was shocked at the cost of things over here," Mrs. Hill said, Just the other day, she told me she wants to go back to England to buy clothes Even though the trip would be expensive, she thinks she'd save enough by buying her clothes in London-where prices are still controlled-to make the trip worth while"
 Mrs. Bob Taft, whose husband led the fight to kill OPA, stiffened visibly Noticing this, Mrs. Hill add ed:

WIND ADDS NEW THREAT,
 TEXAS CITY
Two New Fires Break 0ut- Tank Farm in Danger
 of Being Set Afire

TEXAS CITY, Tex, April 18.-- R-The smoke from II fires rose over stricken Texas City as the dreaded change in wind came to- day. Two of the fires were new.
 The Coast Guard opened a hear ing in Galveston into the cause of the trigger-explosion in the French steamer Grand Camp that set off the chain of blasts fatal to an estimated $50 persons Wedncs- day and yesterday.
 An advance party of firemen dressed in asbestos fire lighting suits moved into the MonSanto Chemical Company plant shortly after sunrise. They were the first to enter the plant in three days.
 Officials are convinced that many more bodies will be found in the still-smoldering ruins.
 Wind Blows Flames
 A stiff north wind had been blowing flames and smoke out to sea, but today it shifted to the south. By II am. (CST) smoke had driited as far inland as Palestine and Jacksonville, 160 to ITS air miles north of the disaster area.
 Here, however, the wind was de- scribed as little more than a breath and smoke from the fires was ris- ing high before it drifted back over Texas City.
 A stiff ground breeze from the south might send heat from burn ing Humble tanks against others in the Sid Richardson plant, and set them off.
 Oil Tanks Threatened
 However, oil fires have no fly ing sparks and officials said resi- dential and business structures farther to the north probably would not be endangered.
 Deaths among the injured over- night brought the disaster toll to 271 counted bodies, of which 194 have been identified But scores possibly hundreds-are missing and the fatality total is certain to rise.
 The injured from the series of racking explosions and raging fires that have beset Texas City for the last three days are numbered in the thousands with all hospitals

 The trial of Austin Nelson Tor the alleged murder of Jim Ellen went into it's fourth day this morning and was expected to be turned over the jury probably this afternoon. Nelson is charged with i the death of Ellen in Juneau on December 22, 1946, in Enen's gro- cery store on Willoughby Avenue.
 The defense asked for and re- ceived permission to call two wit nesses this morning before the be- ginning of final arguments. Eu- gene Lamcur was recalled to the stand and refuted a statement he made yesterday when on the stand. He said today that he had been convicted of felony
 Next, the defense called Mrs. Matthew Wilson who testified to seeing a pool of blood. early in December. on the sidewalk in front of the Glacier Cab Co Nelson had earlier said that he had got ten hlood on his rubbers from this pool of blood. Following Mrs. Wilson's testimony defense at tcrney Henry Roden again rested his case and Judge Harry E. Pratt then called for arguments to begin.
 Gilmore Argues
 U. s. District Attorney P. J. Gilmore. Jr., aregued his case for an hour, going over various parts of the testimony which had teen offered. He accused the defendant of lying all through the case. He said that Nelson's first lie came when he told the story about when and where he claimed to have washed his clothes Gilmore went on, bringing cut each point of his evidence. He said that the blood found on Nelsons rubbers had not been explained. As for the blood on Nelson's towel, Gilmore told the jury that the truth must be determined by the choice of believ- ing either Deputy Marshal Walter Hellan or the defendant.
 When Gilmore reached the sub ject. of the empty razor case. he referred to Nelson's story on 1t by saying: He lies again" Gn- more said that Billy Avery had testified that he presented Nelson with the case and razor in it, i and that Hubert Brown had seen the razor in Nelson's room not more than nine days prior to the murder. At this point. Gilmore exclaimed, The defendant has been trapped and found to be liar in every material point he has testified to-"
 Gilmore then said that the wounds on Ellen's neck could have only Teen inflicted by very sharp knife or razor according to the testimony of Dr. c. c. Carter. Referring to the S6750 check which Nelson admitted forging, Gilmore charged that FL len wouldn't loan S6O to a tran sient or unemployed person such as Austin Nelson.
 Filthy Lios''
 The prosecutor then charged that the defendant had made big slip in being seen at the murder two hours before the crime was committed. Referring to both Nell son and Eugene Lamour, Gilmore roared, They're trapped in their own alibis. They're caught in the fire of their own filthy lies" Gil- more then brought out issues he believed to be inconsistent in Nell sons story of visiting the home of Frank Bonita the night of the crime. Gilmore also brought out testimony offered by Dolly Silvers and then challenged the character of Lamour who had testified that Miss Silvers had been elsewhere at the time she said she saw Nelson in Ellen's store. He said that La- mour periured himself under oath yesterday afternoon
