NO OFFICIAL COMMENT

WASHINGTON, May 18.-tR The White House remained silent today on Premier Stalin's accep- tance of Henry A. Wallace's pro- posal for discussion of differences between the United States and the Soviet Union.
 President Truman's Press Secre- tary, Charles c. Ross, anticipated a question concerning the Moscow radio broadcast when he met with newsmen this morning.
 The question is ' Ross be- gan
 The Stalin-to- Wallace reporter began.
 The answer is no comment" Ross said, and that ended 1t.
 The nature of Stalin's proposals for discussions with the United States gave support to American officials suspicious that Russia is pressing a peace offensive for diplomatic and propaganda advan- tage.
 Since V-E day the United States and Russia have been at odds on almost every one of the issues Sta- lin listed i'll endorsing Henry Wal lace's "open letter. of May Il as q concrete program" for possible settlement of differences.

Bartlett Asks Approval Of Extension of Present
 Alaska Steamer Serviee

WASHINGTON, May Is. - R Y Delegate Bartlett of Alaska asked a House subcommittee today to ap- prove extension of the present steamship service to Alaska.
 He asked that safeguards be added to assure that Alaskans would get benefits of any ship subsidy.
 Bartlett said the present law under which three Seattle com panies operate the service temper arily until next June 30 was designed to aid the Territory but it did not work that way. He contended the Maritime Commission which chart cred ships under the law to the steamship companies at $l year seemed to believe, 'coddling the operators was the first purpose of the legislation"
 "rrhe matter of developing AL aska," he said, was forgotten"
 He said that as soon as the ship owners got the free ships they asked for a rate increase which was put into effect at once.
 Bartlett asked House Merchant Marine Subcommittee to approve his resolution to extend the service until December 3l, 1853.
 Bartlett's resolution povides that the Maritime Commission must have the approval of the Interior Depart ment before putting into effect a contract with ship owners and be- fore approving rates.
 He also urged that his bill to per- init barge lines to get free vessels be approved saying the new barge service to the Territory is perform ing a needed service at freight costs 35 per cent less than that charged by steamship lines.
 All shipping companies. he con tended, should be given opportunity to engage in the Alaska service. Hs said the fleet owned by the Seattle ship owners operating in Alaskan waters "is a joke
 Tt consists of five out-modec privately combination ships, he said.
 The operators of the present serv- ice have agreed to it's extension until Dec. 3l, 1949. Rep. Tollefson (R.- -Wash) has introduced a reso- lution to permit the commission te put that agreement into effect.
 Rear Admiral w. M. Callaghan of the Navv's Bureau of Ship Trans portation, favored enactment of the Tollefson resolution.

Communism Is Opposed by
 Stassen; Dewey in Approval;
 Views Given in Radio Debaie

PORTLAND, May 18.-lR- Re- publican Presidential aspirants Thomas E. Dewey and Harold E Stassen held unswervingly today to clashing views on Communism their nationwide radio debate set- ting practically nothing.
 They argued last night on the hotly disputed question of whether the Communist party should be outlawed in the United States.
 Governor Dewey, a foe of legisla- tion to outlaw Communist organ izations, maintained the Minneso- tan had surrendered completely" Stassen, in turn, claimed Dewey had sort of walked around the issue.
 The two men met last night to air their clashing views over nation wide radio networks in the best tradition of the classic Lincoln Douglas debate-and on a similar ly burning social question of the day.
 On the affirmative, the Minneso- tan called a halt to "coddling' Communists, and asked the enact- ment of new laws to deny Com munism the blessings of legal ity" under which it is now per- mitted to worm it's way to power.
 Branding Communists the threat of war" to America, Stassen said the nation should not stumble along with laws that are out of date"
 Dewey took the position that ex- isting Federal laws-"some 27 of them adequate to prosecute criminal Communist undermining of the government.
 T am unalterably, whole -heart- edly and unswervingly against any scheme to write laws outlawing people because of their religious, political, social or economic ideas" he declared.
