"Russia Is A
 Friendly Nation''

WASHINGTON, R-Congres- sional indignation over the ship ping of supplies to Russia drew from President Truman yesterday the observation that the U. s. S. R. at the present time is friendly nation.
 MT. Truman told a news con- ference that many of the ship ments which have drawn fire on Capitol Hill were contracted for by the Soviets two years ago.
 He said the commerce depart ment is handling the situation and he referred further questions to that department.
 After all, he said, Russia is at the present time friendly nation.
 He spoke after Congress had heard testimony that American warplane engines and other sup plies had been shipped to Russia at time of critical world tension.
 Spurred by disclosures before his House Investigating commit tee, Chairman Ridley R.-OklaD told reporters these moves are un- der way:
 1. Demand on the department of commerce for a complete break down of all U. s. materials sent to Russia and her satellite nations.
 2. An immediate check into re- ports that boxes and crates mark ed for shipment to Russia "are ly- ing all the New York waterfront. |"
 3. A full-scale inquiry into the operations of Moore-McCormack Steamship Line of New York, de- scribed by a witness Wednesday as the American firm handling all shipments for AMTORG, the off

WASHINGTON, (P) - Nome, Alaska, is strategically important to national defense and should be protected from storms that threat en its existence, army and air force officers testified Wednesday.
 Congressmen and Alaskans also testified before a House public works subcommittee considering to authorize building a Sl,837,000 seawall to protect the town.
 Witnesses said that if Nome is wiped out it would cost the gov- ernment more than S5,000,000 to rehabilitate the harbor. They said half of the town was wiped out by past storms and fear the next storm, possibly in October, may finish its destruction.
 Chairman Angell R.-Ore) of the subcommittee told the other members it is "pennywise and pound foolish" not to protect the Nome harbor and air corps base back of it, when Siberia is only 150 miles away.

SOviets Seek To Control Govt. In South Korea
(By Roy Roberts,

SEOUL, (P)-South Korean po- litical leaders today were invited to help establish a Soviet-spon- sored government of Korea@
 The Russian controlled radio at Pyongyang, headquarters of the Russian occupation in North Ko- req, invited leaders of rightist, leftist and middle-of-the-road par ties to a conference April l4. The broadcast was repeated twice.
 The United Nations has approv- ed plans for an election May 9 in American administered South Ko- req. It wanted to conduct a na- tionwide election, to give Korea self government. The Russians re- fused to let a U. N. commission even enter North Korea for pre- liminary discussions.
 South Korean political leaders have been sharply divided on the U. N. election plan.
 Three times today, the Pyong- yang radio broadcast its invitation to South Korea. The invitation was attributed to the peoples com mittee of North Korea, which re- gently announced preparations to set up a Soviet-sponsored North Korean government - compl e e with a red star and hammer flag, and an army.
 The invitations were directed especially to South Korean politi- clans who oppose the U. N. cleo ton plan.
 They were invited to meet at Pyongyang April 14.
 The invitation was extended specifically to Kim Roo, chairman of the Korean independence party, and to other groups.
 Kim Roo and other political leaders are opposing plans for the U. N. election on grounds it would partition Korea.
 The only step remaining in the creation of Soviet-sponsored Democratic peoples republic of Korea" is the adoption of a con- stitution. That has been under dis cussion in North Korea several weeks. Final consideration was postponed recently from mid March to mid-April.

Truman Tries To
 Settle Coal Strike

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman said today he will take whatever steps are necessary-and possible under the law-to settle the coal strike.
 He made that comment to news conference when ask d about the board he has appointed to determine facts in the dispute.
 The board was appointed, Mir. Truman explained, when the fed eral mediation and conciliation service failed to get an agreement between the coal industry and the United Mine Workers.
 The President said he is follow ing the law when asked if he plans any appeal to the coal min CTS to return to work.
 The fact-finding board has un- til April to make its report. The President said he believes it's members will speed their decision.
 After that?" a reporter asked.
 The President said when the board reports he will take any ac- ton is necessary under the law.
 After the board reports, the gov ernment can go to the courts and ask an order halting the strike.
 The government was reported drafting new coal savings orders.
 Federal officials still hoped the UNIV chief John L. Lewis would call his 100000 soft coal diggers back to work before the shortage becomes acute. But they were not counting on it.
 Instead, they prepared to fol- low the cut in passenger and freight service on coal burning railroads with a similar order to utilities to slow down their plants.
 Dimouts and broWnouts to con- serve power possibly would result. The same action were adopted in previous mine strikes.
 The freight order, effective next Tuesday, reduces shipments 25 per cent. The interstate commerce commission set up a priority sys- tenn giving top transport rating to food, fuels, medical supplies and other essential items.
