PRESIDENT,
 MARSHALL HAVE TALK
Sety. Of State Summoned Home for Conference on
 Critical Int. Situation

WASHINGTON. Oct 9.-R- President Truman and Secretary of State Marshall got together here today to talk over the critical in- ternational situation.
 The Secretary of State flew from the Paris meeting of the United Nations in Mir. Truman's plane The Independence" The Presi- dent had sent the plane to Paris to bring the Cabinet officer here
 MT. Truman was at the airport to meet Marshall on his arrival.
 Just 20 minutes earlier the Pres ident had reached Washington af- ter an overnight train trip from Buffalo, where he made campaign address last night. He cut short political tour of New York state in order to come here for the con- ference with Marshall
 The talks of the two top foreign policy framers began while Wash ington buzzed with talk that MT Truman had entertained a plan to send Chief Justice Vinson to Mos COW to talk with Premier Stalin on how the peace of sthe world can be preserved.
 Columbia Broadcasting Company officials said the White House ask CT for free radio time to make g virlson- to- Moscow announcement and then, after CBS granted the time for last Tuesday night, with drew the request.
 In no quarter was there any official confirmation that such g plan had been considered But neither was it denied.
 There ws.s no evidence that Marshall had been forewarned oi the publication of reports that MT Truman had planned to send Chie1 Justice Fred Vinson on a spec ial mission to Moscow.
 But it was learned that well in- formed diplomats now consider that this idea has been definitely and finally abandoned as being entirely out of line with present American policy toward Russia. II was not therefore considered an is sue in the talks between Marshall and Mir Truman.

MUNICIPAL STADIUM, CLEVE- LAND. Oct. s.-iR--Steve Gromek pitched the Cleveland Indians to within one victory of world cham- pionship today when he bested Bos- tons. Johnny Sain in a 2-i duel in the fourth World Series game be- fore a record crowd estimated at 78,0O0 fans.
 { A 400-foot home run smash by Larry Dolby, fleet Negro centerfield- CT of the Indians, provided the vic- 1 tory margin in the third inning. Manager Lou Boudreau drove in the first score in the opening inning when his double to the right field corner knocked home Dale Mitchell who had singled
 Gromek's 7-hit triumph gave the Indians commanding 3-l game lead over the National leaguers. Boudreau now is all set to make the kill in the best -of-seven series Sunday with Bobby Teller ready to face the Braves.
 Johnny Sain, who bested Teller in the To opener for Boston's only victory, allowed but five hits in tough-to-take defeat.
 Mary Rickert scored the only run for the Braves with homer in the seventh, the second of the series
 The fleet Negro centerfielder, the first of his race ever to play for the American League in series, smashed the first home run of the series off Johnny Sain. the clever 24-game winner who had shut out the Indians opening day.
 There were two out and nobody on when Dolby drove his long hit into the standing room patrons lin- ing the little wire fence in the out field. He received roaring ova- tion from the 75.000 customers as jhe trotted home.
 Cleveland hopped on Sain for a quick run in the first inning when Dale Mitchell singled and rode home on Manager Lou Boudreau's double to the right field corner. Boudreau was thrown out trying to make it triple in very close play at third. Once again the umpire was Bill Stewart, the National leaguer, who called the disputed pickoff play in the first game at Boston.

 DISGUISED
 BY WALLACE


 SEATTLE, Oct 9.-tR-- Henry Wallace said here today that Al aska should be strong militarily' but that the Territory's best de- fense" would be its extensive de- velopment. He said one of it's greatest needs is for more people
 Asked specifically what military strength the Territory should have the third party Presidential can- didate replied:
 T don't know how strong it is now. I think 1t should have good defenses. feel Alaska is of great significance to the United States
 In advocating development oi the Territory, he said at his press conference after arriving here by plane from Portland:
 There should be comprehensive development. Most of the agricul- tural needs should be supplied To- dally-and they can be. They might need some government aid however" He advocated statehood for the Territory.
 Alaska shouldn't be merely a colony of Seattle he continued Tt will be of much greater sig nificance to Seattle if it is not
 T think Alaska could produce 50,000,000 bushels of wheat. l wouldn't advocate that much, but it should produce what it needs, It has a good wheat climate" He recalled the grain types he found in Siberia, and said there are types of wheat, oats and bar ley that would grow good around Fairbanks. for instance" Wallace said he long ago propos- ed an agricultural meeting of all northern countries, and added:

STRIKERS MAKE NEW
 pR0p05Al
Will Operate Steamers 10 Alaska Under Conditions
 Previous 10 WaIkout

SEATTLE, Oct. 9.--LR--Striking Seattle maritime unions, broaden ing previous proposal, offered last night to lift all restrictions on Seattle-Alaska shipping.
 The action came after waterfront employers had declared there was 8 joker" in previous union pro- posal.
 William Gettings, CIO longshore regional director, said the unions telegraphed President Truman Alaska Governor Ernest Gruenine and Goyeror Mon c. Wallgren of Washington State that they stood ready to load and sail all Alaska ships under conditions exactly as they were before the strike"
 He said they would do this pro- viding Alaskan companies will sign agreements covering retroactively any gains made under new West Coast agreements with the Water iiciit lsiAPioJClo hoSOSldtlOIl.
 Previously the unions had agreed to handle Alaska shipping on the same terms as were made for a ship to Nome but the joker was there would be no return cargo and the unions would decide on ports to be touched.
 
 Gilbert w. Skinner, President of the Alaska Steamship Company replied that the unions ban on return cargoes for the Nome yes sel and refusal to unload strike bound fully laden ships in Seattle made the offer untenable.
 Ship operators, did not comment on the newest union offer iinmed lately, one saying he had not neen informed of the offer.

FISH TRAP
 VOTE TAKEN
 ON TUESDAY
Inferior Department 0ffi- (idIs Give Their Views on
 Controversial Issus

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-iR-An Interior Department official said today Alaska quite likely's will vote next week to outlaw its $5, ,C00,000 worth of fish traps.
 A fellow officer held, however, that the issue is greatly in doubt. Alaskans vote Tuesday on a pro- posal that fish traps-of which thu Territory now has about 420--be gradually abolished over a lQ-yeaf period. The Interior Department estimates an average of $12.000 Is invested in each trap.
 Washington State abolished the fish traps of the Puget Sound area in 1884.
 Supporters of the proposal say it prevents. over-fishing and gives much employment to fishermen.
 E. Reesman Fryer, director of re- sources for the Office of Indian Affairs, told reporter he had been assured, by local observers in Alaska, the traps would be abolish ed by two-to-one vote.
 It appears that the Metlakatla Indians would vote against the measure, but all the other Indians and most the the whites will vote to get rid of the traps" Fryer said.
 Howard Baltoz, acting director of Alaska Fisheries for the Fish and sWildlife Service. said. how ever, that miners and others living in the IntesAJs, with as t,irGst .i!s terest in the fish trap controversy may vote in support of trap own CTS.
 Fryer, who returned a few days ago from Alaska, said the Indians contend that a single trap wipes out employment for 50 men and several small boats.
