Europe and will save the United
States money.
In addition, the Secretary re-
peated what President Truman told
a news conference Thursday: I'VE
want to keep the door open" to
friendly relations with Russia and
trade is one way of doing it.
May Need Import Controls.
Besides, he said, the United States
is getting from Russia more than Is
per cent of the manganese and
chrome needed for industrial use
and strategic stockpiles. Both
metals are used extensively in
making steel.
If Russia reacts to the stricter
American export policy by stopping
sales of manganese and chrome to
America, Mr.. Hartman said, it
might be necessary to ask Congress
for import controls.
Things we will send Russia in
clude consumer goods such as cloth
ing. cotton and tobacco, Mr.. Harri-
man said. Still under study are
what he termed "middle-ground"
articles like cars and trucks. He
indicated that railroad freight cars
previously ordered will still be sent
to avert hardships to American
manufacturers.
American exports to Russia and
her Eastern European friends add
ed up to $431 ,483,0o0 last year, the
Commerce Department reported.
Imports from them came to $751;
$4,000. Exports to Russia alone
were valued at $l49,504,000, COM
pared to imports of s77,102,O00.
The 1947 exports to Russia, Fin
land and 10 countries in the Soviet
bloc amounted to nearly one tenth
as much as the s4,840, 100000 that
went to the 16 Western Europe Mar
shall Plan countries. American ex-
ports to all foreign countries totaled
$14,474, 900 900.
Statistics on Shipments.
Last years shipments to Eastern
Europe, although about half the
$500 ,294 900 they got from the United
States in 1916, actually represented
twice as much actual buying. This
is because out of the $500, ,294, 900
shipped in 1916, total Of $718, ,228 ,00o
represented aid and relief. The
Eastern Europe nations bought from
us that year total Of $102 ,066, 900
In 1947, only $162,2o1 900 repre-
sented aid and relief. So total OF
1868 ,282 900 was purchased that year
In prewar 1888 Eastern Europe
received from us $149 ,070,000 in ex-
ports. 1t was pointed out, however
that prices are higher now.
The State Department said that
since We day. the United States
has sold s56,951, ,497 worth Of non-
military war surplus materials, such
as clothing. tractors and jeeps, to
the Soviet bloc.
Included. however, were six en-
gines built for CAT transport planes
which were sold to Russia last Octo-
Der for $25,578.

resentatives of their choosing" the
ruling continued.
Says Public Is Loser.
Referring to the ITU strikes, the
judges opinion said:
Generally, the strikes have de-
prived the public Of complete and
current news"
The judges opinion recognized
that there are substitute processes
used in publishing newspapers when
printers strike
However, "the supply of such
available substitute facilities is lin
tied so that any substantial addi-
ton to the number of strikes now in
existence may make 1t impossible
for struck newspapers in some COM
munities to publish at ALL" the opin-
ion said.
The judge granted all points
asked by the NLRB general counsel.
Points emphasized by the Gov
ernment in it's final argument were
that the ITU should be enjoined
from striking if the aims were to
seek a 60-day termination contract
or insisting on conditions of en-
ployment" rather than a negotiated
written contract.
The court order takes into con-
sideration that the ITU might win
the case now before the NLRB, in
which the Government Is seeking
the same ends which today's in
junction brought about.
If the NLRB should rule in favor
of the printers, then all contracts
written during the period the in
junction is in effect, may be ended
by either the printers or employers
within go days.
Gerhard Van Arkel, ITU counsel,
said in Washington that the union
probably will appeal" He delayed
definite statement on this until
the ITU lawyers could read the
order and confer about it.
The injunction case grew out OF
charges filed with the NLRB by the
American Newspaper Publishers As
SoclatlOn last tall.
Hanson Issues Statement.
Elisha Hanson. general counsel,
ANPA, issued this statement In
Washington;
Judge Swygert's order opens the
way for sterilization of employer
employe relationships in the news
paper publishing field and the whole
graphic arts field as we'll.
ut was unfortunate that the
typographical union embarked upon
a policy to defy and set aside the
Labor Management Relations Act.
Now that it has been enjoined
from pursuing that policy, am GER
tain that the publishers will meet
it more than half way in an effort
to restore cordial bargaining rela-
tionships within the law
"At no time has the ANPA sought
to dismember or destroy the union.
All that it sought when it filed
charges with the NLRB against the
ITU was basis of operations in
harmony with the law. 1t had
found that basis with all other
printing trades unions. Now 1t ex-.
poets to find it with the ITU.
THE ANPA does not regard
Judge Swygert's order as a victory
over an antagonist. Rather it re-,
CARDS his order as paving the way
for that industrial peace which was
the objective of the Labor Manage
ment relations Act"

U. 5. Officials Willing
For South Koreans TO
Attend Soviet Talks
By the Associated Press

SEOUL, Mar. 27.-American
occupation officials said today
South Korean political leaders
can-if they wish-attend a So
viet-sponsored meeting in North
Korea April IA.
One high authority, who requested
anonymity, observed:
"It might be a good thing for the
rightist leaders, who object to the
United Nations-approved election in
South Korea scheduled May 8, to go
north and find out for themselves
how the Soviets operate on their
home grounds
Rightists and other dissidents in
the American zone were invited yes
terday to Pyongyang, Soviet occupa-
tion headquarters city, to help the
Russian backed North Korean re-
gine establish government for all
Korea.
Kim Koo, rightist political leader,
and other nom Communists oppose
the election in South Korea on
grounds it might permanently divide
this Asiatic nation. The U. N. wanted
the election to be nationwide, but
Russia refused to cooperate.
A special U. N. commission, here
to observe the election, was even
denied adn1ittance to the Soviet
zone for courtesy call.
The u. N. decided to go ahead and
observe an election IN the south to
establish basis for self-govern-
rnent which North Koreans could
join eventually.
Another United States source
counseled caution in acting on the
Pyongyang invitation. however. He
said it might be a trial balloon to
see how much strength could be
drawn from the south, or represent
an effort to sabotage United Ma
tions plans.
Whatever it is," he said, ut is
adding confusion to an already con-
fused situation"
Presumably. the South Koreans
will be asked to approve a draft con-
stitution for so-called peoples re-
public. The Russian-sponsored
North Korean Peoples Committee
has announced plans for setting up
such republic with hammer and
sickle flag, and an army.
The specific invitation to Kim Koo
represents an about-face by the
Russians. He previously was de-
nounced bitterly by them and Ko-
rean Communists during the futile
sessions of the Soviet-American
Joint Commission on Korea.
Both Kim Koo and Kimm Kyu
Six, former chairman Of the Ameri-
can-sponsored South Korean legis-
lature, expressed a willingness to at
tend the April meeting il invited
offlcially. The invitations were made
in broadcasts by the Pyongyang
radio.
DR. Syngman Rhee, anti-Com-
nlunlst Korean independence leader
was omitted from the broad invita-
ton. But he commented:
I'm not interested. 1t would be
joint commission all over again. ~
DR.. Rhee Is in favor of the U. NJ
approved election in South Korea
Kimm Kyu Six suggested that the
election be postponed until mid
June because the machinery for the
balloting lis not ready" The ma
tional election committees Korean
group making arrangements-has
asked for postponement to May "a
because Of delay In printing bal
lots.
