Russia Offers New Formula
In lend-Lease Settlement
" the Associofed Press


Russia has proposed a new for
mula for settling its $11 ,296, ,000,0 ,00C
lend-lease account, Government
officials said yesterday.
Soviet Ambassador Alexander s
Panyushkin outlined the new pro-
posal in a note to the State Depart
ment
Onicials concerned with the 15-
month-long negotiations said the
note shows Russia has modified hel
earlier position but we're still
pretty far apart No details were
given.
A meeting of American repre-
sentatives with Mr.. Panyushkin and
other Soviet negotiators probably
will be held soon to see II the con.
flicting viewpoints can be worked
out. the officials told reporters.
The Soviets have baked at set
tling up mainly because they con-
tend their wartime contributions to
victory entitle them to a better deal
than the State Department has Of
fered.
The American Government has
insisted that Russia, like all other
lend-lease countries, pay part of the
cost of lend-lease goods which have
fpeacetime value. Russia got d
larger portion of these type goods
than did other countries and thus
her bill would be higher.

Quake Damages POI
Supplying Greeks
Drive on GuerrilIas
BY the Assoeioisd Press

ATHENS, July IAN earthquake
has damaged a supply port fol
Greek forces fighting guerrillas
about 100 miles away, but the Gov
ernment claims to have broken the
guerrillas' grip on an intervening
road.
The port of Preveza on the west
coast, suffered damage yesterday
from q temblor that killed three
persons, injured more than 100 ano
destroying 8 out of 10 buildings in
nearby Levkas.
But Minister of War George
Stratos said last night that govern
ment troops had restored traffic or
the road from Preveza to Iowan-
nina, 50 miles north, by driving the
Communicated rebels away from ad.
joining heights.
In occupying the heights, the
guerrillas had stopped the flow o1
supplies to three Greek divisions
engaged against other rebel bands
in the Grammos Mountains some sc
miles beyond Ioannina. A dispatch
said American road workers ned be.
fore them.
Mr.. Stratos said the loyalist
counterattack had air and nava.
support and cost the guerrillas
heavily. News stories placed the
battle II miles south Of Ioannina.
Other reports said three guer.
rilla battlions, on sector not speci.
fed, were seeking to surrender and
army officers had gone to negotiate
with them.
(The Communist free Greece"
radio said the rebels had beaten
back an attack in the Kastan-
phori sector Of the Grammos
front, damaging three tanks, kill
ing SO and wounding 116. The
broadcast was heard in London)
Levkas, hardest hit by the quake

name with $4,000. The whole island
apparently was shaken. The Ioniar

was dead, two other crewmen were

The plane, a Junkers 50 transport,
took off from Varna, on the Black
Sea, late yesterday for Sofia, with

attendants said, the anti-Com-

Rumor Says Macarthur Is Coming

making some people happy. Taken
in connection with the serious spade
work being done in the generals
behalf in Wisconsin, it is downright
disturbing to the managers Of the
other presidential candidates.
Benefits BY Slate.
In a presidential primary a can
didate benefits by having slate of
well-known names. Gen. MacAr-
thurs slate will contain the names
of two former Governors, Phil La
Toilette and Fred Zimmerman, the
latter now Secretary of State, and
the widow of a Governor, Mrs. Wal
ter 8. Goodland.
For local prestige the Macarthur
hackers in Wisconsin are as well
fixed as Gen. Eisenhower with his
Tobey g. Son in New Hampshire.
For freedom Of movement they are
better fixed. Gen. Macarthur has
not been compelled to make as many
ambiguous statements concerning
his ambition, or lack of same, as the
retiring Chief Of Staff.
So confusion wakes apace in the
political arena. It is no longer a
matter of waiting to see if Gov.
Dewey and Senator Taft eliminate
one another at Philadelphia and
whether, in that event, it will be
Mr.. Stassen or Gov. Warren or Sen
ator Vandenberg who gets the call.
First it will have to- be seen whether
the two war heroes eliminate one
another. That could happen. Part
of the great appeal that both Gems.
Eisenhower and Macarthur have Is
the feeling that they are above poll
tics. If they, or their managers for
them, should start to working on one
another as rival candidates some
times do, this feeling might not last
long. =
There is another bit of confusion
1ereabouts, incidentally. The hot
footed young man from Minnesota
seems now to be running against Ed
Pauley instead of President Truman.

encourage to spend a few months In
the United States.
It is easier these days for an ordi-
nary alien to obtain a. temporary
visa for the United States than it is
for a former monarch. King Peter
Of Yugoslavia, who visited Washing
ton during the war as the off1cial
guest of the American Government
stayed at the Blair House and was
wined and dined at the White
House, was turned down last fall by
the American consulate in Paris.
Of-Record Explanation.
Peter asked that he and his wife
be given a temporary permit tc
come to the United States. Although
he pledged himself to refrain from
any political activity and said he
wanted to go only to some resort in
Florida, the State Department
where his application was referred
for final consideration, decided that
he would be unwelcome, at least for
the time being.
1t was explained of the record
that the Serbs, Croats. Slovenes and
other former nationals of Yugo-
slavia were divided. An energetic
and active segment of these immi-
grants-some American citizens
other legal residents-had espoused
the cause Of Tito and all that he
stands for, and had become asso-
ciated with a number of pro- Com
