CLAIMS MARSHALL
 PLAN MAY LEAD TO GREAT DEPRESSION
CBY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL


 WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-tR- Steel man Ernest T. Weir said to- day the Marshall Plan might lead to depression here more serious than any threat of collapse and Communism" in Europe.
 Yet, the chairman of the National Steel Corporation contended, the Administration is using "a tremen- dous propaganda campaign" to try to win quick approval for it's multi tillion dollar European Recovery Program.
 Weir outlined his views in state ment prepared for House Foreign Affairs Committee hearings on the Plan.
 ITO those who are alarmed by the prospect of an expansion of Russian Communism, Weir declared, T say that a serious depression in the Uni ted States is the greatest thing to fear
 And one is sure to come. he said, if huge sums wasted through in efficient spending abroad" are piled onto the fantastic cost of Govern ment at home"
 Weir said he was not making the point that all aid should be denied Europe.

WASHINGTON Behind the

WASHINGTON = Behind the move to shift the grain-speculation probe from the Senate Appropria- tions Committee to the Senate Ex- penditures Committee is a strong backstage attempt to hush up the facts regarding the amazing grain and cotton deals of Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma,
 The drive to let Senator Thomas off the hook is spearheaded by Senator Willard Tydings of Mary land, with the support of most other Democrats in the Appropria- tions Committee. They don't like to see a fellow Democrat in trouble, and Thomas himself hap pens to be member of this com mittee
 During a recent closed-door Ap- propriations Committee meeting Tydings bluntly demanded of Sem ator Ferguson of Michigan, Re- publican, that the Thomas probe be called off
 Hes written you a letter tell ing of his market transactions. declared Tydings. What more do you want? There's no use con- tinuing this persecution.
 Nevertheless, replied Ferguson, who is chairman of the sub-appro- priations committee probing grain

POINT REYES E BROUGHT HERE BY
 US(G WAChUSETT

Details of a narrowing and heroic rescue hy the USCG Cutter Wachu- sett were told today by Commander K. V. Carlson, Captain of the Cutter The Wachusett returned here at 6 pm. yesterday towing the 57-foot fishing vessel Point Reyes which had burnt out a bearing on Sunday and was drifting helplessly in the Cult of Alaska.
 The Wachusett received orders from Ketchikan at 1l.30 pm Sun day to proceed to the scene of dis tress and render assistance. It left here an hour and a half later at full speed to where the Point Reyes had been reported five miles off Por- cupine Island in the Gulf and drift ing in northerly direction
 The Coast Guard. vessel arrived at the last reported position at 9:35 am. Monday but the fishing vessel was not in sight Carlson said that weather conditions were extremely roor. It was showing heavily, there was a 30 mile per hour wind and rough seas. He said that his ship had maintained radio contact until e:27 am. when the batteries on the Point Reyes had failed
 The Wachusett then proceeded to search the area and the Point Reyes was finally sighted at l:43 pm. 23 miles from where it had last been reported. It was sighted through a break in the driving snow by Ensign Leland c Batdorf.
 Get Line Aboa d
 The Coast Guardsmen made six unsuccessful attempts to get tow line aboard the stricken boat before an eight inch line was finally made fast at 7:10 pm. on their seventh try. Two Coast Guardsmen, on the stern of the Wachusett, were in- mersed in three feet of water several times during the rescue.
 Commander Carlson commended members of his crew for their excel lent and difficult work under ad- verse conditions in the face of a 35 mile per hour storm. He said that the Wachusett was just plain lucky to find the Point Reyes under the conditions which existed.
 Because of the continuing rough seas, slow progress was made on the return voyage with the Point Reyes until the Wachusett reached Cross Sound. At that time speed was in- creased to 10 knots. Upon arrival in the Juneau harbor, the Army Tug AIS took the Point Reyes in tow and escorted it to the Northern Com mercial Co.,. for repairs.
 The Point Reyes is a Sitka boat and is explained by John Osbackken. He and the three others aboard were reported in good condition and none 1 the worse for their experience.

DO. EXECUTIVES
 HERE ON AIR
 WAY TO ORIENT
Second Asst. p. M. Gen. eral Would Ease AL
 dska $ Parcel Post

The second Second Assistant Post master General to visit Alaska, Paul Aiken, arrived in Juneau yesterday by Pan American, flew to Sitka and back this morning with Alaska Coastal, consulted with PAAs B. F. Dunn; Bob Ellis, Ellis Air Transport, Ketchikan; and Alex Holden, AGA, regarding local airmail, was on his way this af- ternoon to Anchorage by Pacific Northern Airlines.
 With General Aiken is Aubrey Lawrence, general superintendent railway mail service, Division 13, Seattle, which includes Alaska, and as far as Alaska is concerned has more to do with air mail than railway mail service.
 From Anchorage the P. O. men plan to cover most of Alaska's post offices, go to Pt. Barrow, Nome, Fairbanks-"Chicken and 6dBltt lCO, OCIduoC l III AAANA AS bNN' by their names" Aiken said.
 Longest part of their journey will still be ahead of them. They leave Anchorage by Northwest Air lines for the Orient, Tokyo, Shang hai, Manila, Honolulu and return to the States.
 Choosing winter for their eXtend- ed trip because the most serious operational problem as far as Alaska is concerned is in winter not summer, Aiken expressed espec- ial interest in the small air car riers which provide Alaska towns with better mail service than was possible in the boat and dog-team days.
 My hope is that out of this trip will grow parcel post zones for Alaska, You folks at present are paying terrific premium for parcel post service, and this hope to be able to correct the visiting cabinet officer said.
 Frankly I am surprised that Juneau does not take greater sd- vantage of it's air mail service. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands use air mail for 90 percent of first class mail handled Juneaus use of air mail is only 65 percent, Aiken said.
 General Aiken is ill charge of all air mail transportation. On this trip he will look into the possi bilities of replacing boat mail with air mail in the Aleutians, talk to the army in Japan about who is to carry the mail overseas and in Manila deliver to the Philippine government postal agreement re- establishing rates in effect before the Islands won their indepen- dence.
 The former air force officer who supervised the first postwar cleo tionS in Germany, has served in the Post Office Department under James A. Farley and Edwin J. Flynn and his present boss, re- gently appointed Jesse Donaldson. Aiken is from the state of Kan sas. where. like famous Kansans William Allen White and E. w. Howe, he owned a newspaper.
 Harlee Branch, then second assis- tant post master general and now a member of the Civil Aeronau- tics Beard, made an air survey trip through Alaska in the sum- mer of 1883 when he flew from Juneau to Nome with Pacific Alaska Airways.
 James A. Farley, while Post master General and Democratic National Committeeman, travelled through Alaska in 1888. In his party was Ambrose O'Connell, later appointed Second Assistant, PMG.
