RUSSIA MAY vANDENbERG AK BAN ON WARNS U55R ATOM BOMBS ON MANNERS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.--A blunt assertion by Senator Vandenberg that it would be dangerous mis- conception" for Russia to underes- timate this countrys rank among world powers gave clear sign to- day of mounting congressional i'm patience with Soviet diplomacy
 The Michigan Republican, chair man of the powerful Foreign Rela- tions committee and President pro- tenn of the Senate, declared in un- vanished language that Russia does not seem to share "our anxiety to establish mutual fair play and good will"
 He said the Soviet Union CD completely ignored four American requests in the last year to discuss settlement of lend-lease accounts and (2) paid no attention to a State Department note suggesting negotiation for final disposition of l25 lend-leased U. s. merchant ships.
 Forming these just a couple of symbolic incidents" in U. S.-Russian relations, Vandenberg last night told guests at dinner for the Michigan congressional delegation:
 T respectfully suggest that such experiences are not calculated to fertilize mutual good will and un- derstanding.
 He said it would be neither un- friendly nor undignitied for this country to insist upon somewhat prompter official mail from Mos cow
 After all," VanGenberg went on Washington is not an inconseqent- ial way station on an mimpcrtant RED If we allow others to think it is. they may get the habit, and that could he a dangerous miscon- ception for them as well as us" ].

SENATE WILL
 ACT QUICKLY
 ON SHIPPING

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-Alaska' s critical shipping situation will get speedy consideration by the Senate Commerce Committee.
 Senator White1 R-Maine), com mittee chairman, yesterday pledged quick action on a resolution intro duced by Senator Hagnuson CD- Wash) to authorize the Maritime Commission to contract with pri- vate operators for steamship ser vice to Alaska.
 Officials of private lines have said they will be unable to operate vessels to the Territory at present rates when the Maritime Commis- sion ceases it's Alaska Service on February 28
 Magnuson's resolution would al low the Commission to turn govern- ment ships to private operators, who would he allowed 10 percent profits and stand any loss. Rates would be adjusted to meet needs Of such service.
 Senators Cain (R-Wash) and Morse tR-Ore) joined in urging prompt consideration of the resolu- tion.
 Magnuson, pointing out that Can- adian ships carried one-third oi the Alaska shipping before the war, said all supplies might go by way of Canadian ports if the Territorys problems are not solved.
 He said present rates cost each Alaskan 10 percent of his income, and rate relief is badly needed.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Sen. Styles Bridges weekend assault on David E. Lilienthals nomination as Chair man of the Atomic Energy Com mission stems from source other than Bridges himself.
 The New Hampshire Republican merely fired the opening gun in a newly y-organized COP campaign to discredit any Truman appointees who may have served in high Fed eral posts under Franklin Roose- welt.
 Taft, self-appointed "king-fish' of the Republican party on Capi- tol Hill, has passed down the word that no Democrat of New Dealish tinge is to have any post ot lm- portance.
 Tn an informal Friday afternoon caucus of small coterie Of COP Senators, the Ohioan let his views be known, winding up with the op- servation, and we might as well begin on Lilienthal."
 There followed some discussion as to who would be the first to ob- feet to the former IVA chieftains appointment to the atomic energy body

DEATH v0TED
 DEvEL. BOARD BY SENATOR'S
Senate Bill 4 Carries After Walker Motion 10 Table
 Is Turned Down

After day-lQpg trlai, the . Alaska Senate yesterday afternoon brought in split verdict against the Alaska Development Board. A solid Second Division against the Board was the major factor in passage of Senate Bill 4, which would immediately abolish the ALB by repeating the Act which created that Territorial agency.
 Passage of the measure by a 9-7 vote followed a 5-l1 defeat Of a move to table which opened the way for advancement of the bill to third reading and lengthy inter vening debate.
 The two roll calls taken on the highly controversial S. B. 4 record cd the following results. To lay on the table-Yeas: Brownell, Enge- breth. Peratrovich, Rivers, Walker Nays: Butrovich, Cochran, Collins Coffey, Dawes, Green, Jones, Munz Rcgge, Scott, Nerland. On pas sage-Yeas: Cochran, Coffey, Col lins, Dawes, Green, Jones, Munz Rogge. Scott; Nays: Brownell, But rovich, Engebreth, Peratrovich, Riv- CTS, Walker, Nerland. The emer- gency clause, making the measure immediately effective upon passage and approval, carried the Senate by more than the necessary two- thirds vote; l3-3.
 Walker Moves
 ADB General Manager George Sundborg, on the stand when the Senate recessed at noon yesterday completed his testimony shortly af- ter the body had reconvened in the afternoon. It was then that Sen ator N. R. Walker opened the move to table s. B. 4, inaugurating a pre- liminary roundup of viewpoints.
 Senator Edward D. Coffey, CO., author of the bill with Senator Joe Green, immediately called for the committee report which showed Walker concurring in a "do pass recommendation.
 It has been the custom in the Leo;slature that committee reports mean something, was Coffey's ironic comment. Coffey then requested permission to call Auditor Frank Boyle for just one question
 The querry brought out that the Auditor had seen fit to reject a number of Development Board vouchers because in his view they covered illegal expenditures. Boyie related that his disapproval hao been overriden by the Board of Appeals of Disallowed Claims, which is comprised of the Governor, tEe Attorney General and the Treasur- CT.
 Transfers Illegal
 Boyle said he had first refused to allow the claims because he held it illegal for one agency to trans fer funds appropriated to it for use of another agency. However, he said. the Board of Appeals action

The tenth annual Donor Lunch
con for Hadassah is scheduled for
March 26th, in the Rendezvous
Room of the Santa Rita Hotel.
This luncheon has always been
an outstanding event in the social
life of Tucson. Since this year is
the tenth year of the local chap
ter, Hadassah expects this Donor
Luncheon to be a memorable oc-
casion.
Martha Sharp, the principal
speaker, is a dynamic, forceful
personality. She presents her ex-
periences relating to her work
with refugee children in Czech
oslovakia and with displaced per-
sons in France, graphically.
Mrs. Sharp was instrumental in
creating Children to Palestine,
Christian-Jewish Committee for
the rescue of Jewish refugee chill
dren, working through Hadassah.
This luncheon aids the Hadas-
sab Medical Organization. In the
past year this fund has sent doc
tors to Switzerland to help restore
the health of orphaned children
suffering tuberculosis before be-
ing admitted to Palestine; set up
department of physical therapy
and sent three therapists to the
United States for training; and
helped found a fund for the IN
dergraduate School on Mt. Scopus.
Since 1925 the infant mortal
ity rate of Jewish Palestine has
been reduced to one of the low
est in the world. In 1925 it was
125 per thousand births, now it is
36 per thousand. Trachoma, too,
has been almost wiped out, from
35q6 in 1925 to 2.2% today.
The guest speaker Is the wife
of a Unitarian minister Her in
terest and concern are genuine.
Guests will enjoy hearing her.
