Wells Talks
On Atlantic Treaty %
Pending Decisions
BY the Associated Press

A secrecy lid, covered the At7
lantic Alliance talks today, but
officials seemed confident the
final defense pact will be ready
for Senate action before spring.
Negotiators from seven nations
are scheduled to get down to brass
tacks Monday when the Western
European representatives are ex-
pected to present their proposals for
the historic mutual-aid agreement.
The diplomatic parleys, launched
last July, were resumed late yester-
day after three-month recess.
Their aim is North Atlantic
stronghold linking the United States
and Canada to the defense ramparts
being set up by the Western Eu-
ropean Union: Britain, France, Bel
GUM, the Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg.
Europe Seeks 5O-Year Pact.
After Yesterdays meeting in Un-
dersecretary of State Lovett's Office,
the State Department announced
mo information concerning their
substance will be made public until
such time as decisions are reached" I"
1t was understood, however, that
the European nations will ask for
50-year alliance point expected
to cause something of an argument.
American officials evidently be-
lieve a shorter-term pact, perhaps
with provisions for renewal, would
be more acceptable here-on the
ground that the treaty no longer
might be needed after Western Eu-
rope has recovered its strength.
There are two other points OF
likely disagreement which must be
ironed out:
l. What action would be taken II
one of the treaty nations were at
tackled. The European countries
want the strongest possible United
States pledge of aid in case of trou-
Bile. Under the Constitution, how
ever, only Congress has the power
to declare war.
The negotiators are expected to
work out a compromise defining an
attack on any one nation as an
attack on all and promising appro-
pirate assistance in such a case.
O. Plans to expand the defense
agreement to include other coun-
tries. Some of the negotiators are
reported to believe that the original
seven should first sign treaty, then
invite other qualified nations to join.
The prevailing American view
which may not be firmly SETS
that it probably would be better to
ask other countries to join the final
negotiations and sign the original
pact.
These other countries probably
will include Iceland, Ireland, Den
mark, Portugal and perhaps Italy.
Agree On Most Phases.
But there Is substantial agree
ment already on most Of the main
points Of the proposed defense sys-
tenn. The basic point is that the
regional agreement must conform
to the United Nations charter so
that the alliance group could not be
accused of going outside the U. N.
Another basic provision about
which no trouble is expected calls
for a council or commission through
which the member nations would
coordinate military planning.
Studies now are being made, both
here and abroad, to learn (a) how
much military equipment the Euro
peans need from this country and
CD how much this country can
furnish without hurting either its
own economy or the European Re-
covery Program.

Congressional hearings on cor

ernment service.

Oh, Henry
Cincinnati Enquirer


 During the course of his remarks before the House Foreign Affairs Committee the other day, Henry Wallace made at least one remarkable utter ance even for him. In reply a question by one Of the committee members to Russa's intervention in the affairs of satellite countries. he said he would assrne that there was sorhe intervention from what he read in the American press. He continued But I dent believe it is possible to get the truth from the American press By that he meant truth III the field of Russian relations.
 This sounds fine coming from recent editor of The New Republic, of Americas outstanding llo- eral weeklies If MT Wallace does not get the truth from the American press, where else? Certainly he cannot wait for the news to come in from the lew European democracies which still maintain a free press
 By implication MI. Wallace has set himself up as the person capabe of dealing with Russia In his testimony before the committee however he admitted that he knew nothing of Soviet policy or the Com munist line.
 This profession of ignorance on Russian affairs top of his complete distrst of the reliability o the American press the subject comprises one of the most startling revelations made by presidential candidate If MT. Wallace had said that he had form ed his opinions Russian problem by reading the dispatches of Tass agency Pravda or lZVesta he would at least have provided an opportunity for ra- tional discussion based on honest difference of viewpoint But how you go along with man who condemns his own countrys foreign policy With regard to that of another when he confesses gnor- ance of the others? MT Wallace in effect is saying that he does know what the Soviet policy ls but it's all right with him.

WASHINGTON LAW CONNECTION

When hard-hitting Senator Fer guson of Michigan begins his probe of the Civil Aeronautics Board he is expected, among other things, to take more than passing notice of certain Washington law firm.
 That firm is Gambrell and White, attorneys for Eastern Airlines. A member of that firm from l94l up until a few weeks ago was John E. Branch, son of charming Com missioner Harllee Branch of the Civil Aeronautics Board
 Senatcr Fergusons Committee is also expected to delve into any interesting reasons which may lie behind the fact that the same Harllee Branch voted against giv- ing Colonial Airlines the right to fly between New York and Wash ington-which, of course, would be in direct competition with Eastern Airhnes, which his son represents.
 Colonial has an air-safety rec ord of no fatalities in Is years, was recommended by the CAB ex- aminer to operate the New York Washington route. But Harllee Branchs vote swung the decision against Colonial to National Air lines-even though it pilots are out on strike
 Young Branch was re- tained by Eastern Airlines' law firm in l94l shortly after he grad uated from law school Then, as the fight between Eastern and Colonial reached climax, he was made partner in l945. With his fathers resignation from the CAB Q few weeks ago, young Branchs connection with the law firm end- ed

POLITICAL SCENE

With Aaskas primary election only about SIX weeks away there doesn't to be much activity on the political front However, the pot can be eX- pected to begin to boil soon
 Some candidates have commented on the number f oesonnaires they have received from various or ganizations this year Even the Valdez ChalnDer oi Commerce is interested in the First Divls'on can didatps attitudes on various bits of legislation
 The most lengthey form for the candidates to i'll out comes from the Juneau Non-Partisan League oi Women Voters" The post office box number on thls ouestionnaire incidentally happens to be the oox number of a Federal agency It is not the Governors Office
 Scme candidates are reluctant to place themselves on record at this early date The Legislature doesn't meet until a year from now, and conditions may be a great deal different than they are now New heeuS for revenue may arise, and present needs may not be as great There may be a new national ao- mnsration that will have some different ideas about Alaska.

He is also a member of the duPont- Carpenter family which organized the Liberty League to defeat Roosevelt Naturally Me Grath received the news with no thrill
 But even more significant is a tie-up McGrath may not have klsown about. Back in 1928, Secrc- tary Forlestals Wall Street banking firm loaned s2o,ooo 900 to Bolivia with which to buy arms for the purpose Of waging war against Paraguay. This money was used among other things. to hile Capt. Ernst Roehm as military adviser to the Bolivian Government, and it was in Bolivia that Roehm first developed his idea of storm troop CTS. Later he organized the same thing for Hitler
