MARSHALL GIVES WARNING TO RUSSIA
More Radio Aids Urged for
 A|eutians, Paris of Alaska

SEATTLE, July 21-lR-A sub committee declared at North Pa cific Air Navigation meeting that radio aids in the Aleutians and parts of Alaska were inadequate" for present-day air traffic needs.
 Military and commercial aircraft use the radio aids in flying the northern route from the Pacific Northwest to the Orient.
 The subcommittee on communica- tions recommended that the Interna- tional Regional meeting ask several improvements to correct the made uuacy" of radio beacon and LORAN dong range radio navigation) sta- tions in the area.
 It urged:
 l. Installation of a test, low frequency LORAN station in the Gulf of Alaska area "at the earliest possible date"
 2. Stationing of at least one float ing radio beacon ship in Gulf and at least two more farther along the route between Shemya and Tokyo
 3. Continued operations of all present LORAN stations covering the North Pacific region.
 4. Increasing the power of several radio beacons in the area.
 The committee'S report said that radio aids at Naknek and Fort Glenn, Alaska, do not provide "ade- quate coverage" during periods of magnetic disturbances. LORAN, it said, is not accurate on portion of the Shemya-Tokyo route. Some inadequacies the report said may be partly overcome when the United States increases the power of it's existing LORAN stations in the area this year

 IN ANY WAY
Secretary of Sfdte Gives Direct Quotations Con-
 1erning Blockade
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER And ELTON c. FAY

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-tF- Secretary of State Marshall said today the United States will do everything possible in the Berlin crisis ito reach an acceptable solu- tion and to avoid the tragedy of war for the world"
 At a news conference, Marshall was told that there is presently a widespread fear of war in the world over the Berlin crisis between Soviet Russia and the Western Powers. He was asked to express his views on the situation.
 In statement which he later authorized for direct quotation, Marshall said:
 T can only say at this time that our position, I think, is we'll un- derstood.
 Not To Be Coerced
 We will not be coerced or in- timidated in any way in our pro- cedures under the rights and re- responsibilities that we have in Ber- lin and generally in Germany.
 At the same time, we will pro- ceed to invoke every possible re- source of negotiation and diplo- matic procedures to reach an ac- ceptahle solution and to avoid the tragedy of war for the world. But I repeat again we are not going to be. coerced."
 Marshall said Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American Commander in Ger many, will arrive here late this evening and he win confer with Clay tomorrow
 Clay To Make Report
 The White House said President Truman also is keeping in close , touch with developments in Ber- lin. He plans to get a first-hand report from Clay
 Clay was due in Washington along with other top officials in the American Zone. The White House said no definite time has been set for Clay's> talk with MT. Truman.
 of course, General Clay will come in," Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters who asked if the General would be called to the White House.
 Diplomatic Moves
 American officials, meanwhile. are readying new diplomatic moves in determined effort to settle the Berlin crisis short of war.
 These moves, including a new note to Moscow, grow out of a new, three-point policy for dealing with the extremely dangerous situation in the Russian-b -blockaded German capital.
 Authorities familiar with the lat est developments say the policy covers an absolute determination mot to be kicked out of Berlin"
 But, they add. it also embraces equally strong decisions (A) to seek a peaceful solution of the crisis and tB) to use caution and restraint in both action and words so that the Soviets will be given no possible excuse for making the situation worse.

 Dewey Discusses Session
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Re- publican Presidential nominee, is reported favoring a brief COP lawmaking program and quick end to the session.

 Presidential Secretary Charles G. Ross said the President is now drafting an initiation bill deal ing with rising prices.
 He said the President will talk with Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U s. Occupation Commander at Berlin, in advance of his appearance be-, fore Congress. Clay was due in Washington today.
