Severe Political Crisis
Now Shaking Krem|in,
Churchill Believes
By the Associated Press

WOODFORD, Eng, July 10
Winston Churchill suggested to-
day that the Kremlin is wres-
tling with a severe Russian po-
litical crisis.
The denunciation of Yugoslavia
at time when the Berlin crisis was
at its height indicated this, the war
time prime minister told Conser-
vative Party rally in his home dis
trict. At the same time he cautioned
that the Western Allies can yield on
the Berlin issues only at the risk OF
third world war.
Recalling the Communist Infor-
nation Bureaus denunciation OF
Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia, Mr.
Churchill said of Russia's rulers:
Their prime interest is to pre-
serve their personal power over the
hundreds of millions of people OF
many different races whom they rule
with rod of iron.
I'VE cannot tell what interna
stresses are at work in this grim OIL
igarchy. 1t w6uld seem to me that
they must be very servere at the
present time and that one part OF
the dictatorship is working separate
ly or even contrary to the other.
"An Anxious Hour"
How else can you explain the
Soviets' solemn denunciation anc
excommunication of Yugoslavia from
the ring of satellite states at the
same moment when they were bring
ing the crisis In Berlin to its eli
maX?'
Mr.. Churchill called the present
period of waiting for Russian reply
to Western protest notes on the
Berlin blockade IAN anxious hour.
1T must not be forgotten" he
said. that with Russia we are
dealing not with a great nation
that can express its free will, but
with 13 men in the Kremlin who
have made themselves the masters
of the brave Russian people and
who rule them with far more dicta-
torship than was ever shown by any
Russian Gar since the days OF
Ivan the Terrible.
Critical of U. S. Loan Use.
mo one can tell what these I;
holocausts in the Kremlin will do
They do not reason as we do in the
western world"
He urged the Allies to follow a
policy based ION our undoubteo
rights and on those instincts Of
humanity which forbid us either tt
leave the Germans of Berlin, who
have courageously stood with us, tt
Soviet vengeance, or let them all be
starved to death"
Turning to domestic issues, Mr.
Churchill expressed hope the labor
government would make better use
of the Marshall Plan aid than OF
the American loan to Britain. AT
the same time he questioned the
government right to accept Ameri-
can help.

Is Million More Listed
For ECA, Increasing
Total 10 1888 Million
By ChoImers M. Roberts

The Economic Cooperation
Administration last night an
nounced new foreign aid au-
thorizations of $26,167, $50 for
five Western European nations,
occupied Germany, Trieste and
China.
The new aid, which will include
food, steel, tobacco, newsprint and
medical supplies among other things,
brings the total ECA has authorized
SO far to s783,914,690, the agency
said
Britain was not on today's list
| of authorizations, which covered the
period from June 80 to July 7, be-
cause it haG not completed formal
action on the new bilateral agree
ment with the United States, set
ting terms for the aid program, by
the July 3 deadline. Action was
completed two days later and the
delay is not expected to have much
effect on shipments.
Aid for France Included.
! Aid for France, which completed
action a day after Britain ratified
! the agreement, was included, how
ever, for that period between, June
80 and July 3, it was explained.
! So far all but four of the West
ern European nations expected to
receive Marshall Plan aid have COM
pleted the agreements. Belgium's
agreement has been negotiated but
not yet ratified, while agreements
with Turkey, Switzerland and Por-
tugal have not yet been worked out
With this country. The last three
are not in immediate need of dollar
aid, however.
The latest list of commodities
indicated the ECA still is shipping
food and food products as its major
assistance but with considerable
shipments of recovery items such
as steel and machinery now being
added. Considerable amounts OF the
nonfood items for use in one Euro
pean nation are to be purchased In
another, such as tin for Austria and
Germany bought from Britain, Bel
gium and the Netherlands.
ECA last week announced 1t was
making dollars available for this
type of intra European trade to les
sen the drain on supplies of mater
ials which are short in the United
States.
Much Depends on Crops.
However, it is not expected that
the so-called recovery items will
exceed the relief items, chiefly food,
in ECA authorizations and ship
ments for many months. Much
will depend on the European crops
this year as well as the speed with
which the European nations work
out their plans FOR the use of re-
covery goods.
Thus far, ECA figures show, this
is the breakdown of procurement
authorizations including last nights
since ECA began three months ago:

With warm dignity, Rosa Page
WEIGH, Negro mezzo soprano, pre-
sented a program of classics. semi
classics and Negro spirituals to an
audience of more than 400 persons
last night at the goth Century The
atre in a concert sponsored by the
Preshytery OF Alaska.
Singing her spirituals without the
accompaniment of piano, she fully

Handel's familiar Have Mercy, Lord.

Speaking to the audience follow
ing the intermission she explained
that negro spirituals are songs
born in the hearts of my people In
the days OF slavery. In spite of the
conditions under which they were
born there was never any hatred
or resentment in them. They sang
about their sorrow, but always they
end with a Glory Hallelujah."
She went on to say that she has
never enjoyed a. tour as much as
her present tour of Alaska, but she
explained, laughing, that she hadn't
known it was an ordinary thing to
wait on the weather.
The vocalist was accompanied by
Carol Berry Davis.
