; Chest Units Report
Al Meeting Today

Community Chest workers in the
Government and Business Units
were to hold a report luncheon at
the Hotel Washington today.
The Residential and Suburban
Units will use the day to help swell
their contributions to the $4,566, 100
campaign by the next general re-
port meeting tomorrow.
OF the three units reporting today,
the Government group is ahead,
having collected IS per cent of its
81, ,524 4,557 quota. Bushes l has COL
lected 81 per cent Of its goal of ST.
1921, while Business trails the
group with IS per cent Of $364, 800.
The figures on the progress of the
campaign released over the last two
weeks by Chest headquarters seem
To indicate that some units of Busi-
ness 1 are going backward in the
campaign.
Between November 7 and last
Sunday. six units were reported to
have lost some $4,000.
A Chest official explained today
that this seeming discrepancy was
the result of some redistribution of
funds within the various units of
the campaign organization. Collec-
tions from certain large firms having
branches in the suburban areas have
been divided between Business l
unit and the various county units,
the official said.
Chauncey G. Parker, general
chairman of the drive, has an
ounced that, If the goal has not
been reached by the end Of this
week, when the campaign Is sched-
uled to end, it will be extended
again. At the last general report
the score stood at 65 per
cent of the quota.

On Berlin Till Blockade Is Lifted;

With Marshall,
Hurrimun Monday
By the Assoeioted Press

KEY WEST, Fla, NOV. 10
President Truman said fatty to-
day the United States will not
resume four-poWer negotiations
on Germany until Soviet Russia
lifts it's Berlin blockade.
At the same time, he told a news
conference that he will review the
entire international situation with
Secretary of State Marshall and w.
Ayerell Hartman, rowing ECA Ad-
ministrator, at the White House,
November %. 1t is possible that
Gen. Marshall's future status in the
cabinet will be determined at that
time.
No Plan to Meet Stain.
Mr.. Truman made it clear that:
/. He has no plans for meeting
with Prime Minister Stain. He
said he will not leave Washington
for such a conference, but that his
invitation to Mr.. Stain to visit
Washington still stands.
2. He has no plans to send an
emissary to Moscow to talk with Mr..
Stain. He considered sending Chief
Justice Vinson on such a mission
during the closing days of the elec-
ton campaign. but Gen. Marshall
talked him out of it.
The President left no doubt that
he wants Gen. Marshall to continue
in his post by saying he and the
cabinet official are in perfect agree
ment on everything and they always
have been.
Lauds Marshall Service.
Gen Marshall, he said. never
wanted to do anything but retire
from the time he left the Army
and is serving as patriotic duty.
Gen. Marshall. the President went
on. Is one of the greatest patriots of
this country.
In his first news conference since
his election victory, the President
announced unequivocally, that he
would press the new Congress for
enactment of the Democratic plat
form.
But, adopting the language of his
recent campaign, he said he would
not call a special session Of what
he described as the do-nothing
Eightieth Congress.
Senator Bridges, Republican. of
New Hampshire had proposed a
special session to deal with the de-
teriorating situation in China.
In Touch With Chang.
Mr.. Truman said today that the
American Government is in COM
munication with the President of
China now. He would not discuss
his communications with General
issimo Chang Kai-shek, however.
AS to whether new aid is being
planned, he said Congress has au-
thorized spending SIPS, 100000 and
that s112,oO0,o00 has already been
used aiding that country.
Mr. Truman said Gen. Marshall
has prepared statement for release
later on the suggestion by Trygve
Lie. secretary-general of the United
Nations and DR.. Herbert v. Evatt,
president of the U. N. General AS
sembly that he and the heads of the
other four big nations go over the
heads of the General Assembly and
resume negotiations. He said he
had approved the Marshall state
ment.
His assertion that negotiations
will not be resumed unless the
blockade Is lifted apparently Is the
major point of the statement.

Speculation mounted today
that w. Averell Hartman, the
Marshall Plan Ambassador-at-
large, may be given a stronger
role in President Truman's new
term.
Lower echelons of the Economic
Cooperation Administration buzzed
with reports that Mr.. Hartman, a
multi millionaire and staunch DEM
ocratic Party supporter, might:
/. Replace Republican Paul q.
Hoffman as ECA administrator. Mr.
Hartman, as ECA's special repre-
sentative in Europe, now is No. 2
man in the recovery agency.

come Secretary Of State if and

as he has indicated he wishes to
do. The State Department., with
Mr.. Truman's backing, could make
its influence felt in the otherwise
Independent Marshall Plan opera
tions.

Mr.. Hartman, Washington bound
from his Paris ECA headquarters,
was due to arrive today. president
Truman said in Key West today
that ne will see Mr. Hartman and

Monday
One subordinate official was Of
fering to bet that by the end OF
January-that is, after Mr.. Tru-
mans inauguration-Mr. Hartman
will be running ECA, in name or
in fact"
Working against that theory
however, is an apparently wide
spread feeling on Capitol Hill that
the European recovery effort has
been operating satisfactorily under
Mr. Hoffman's leadership.
Nevertheless, sharp presidential!
rebuff to Mr.. Hoffman came to
light yesterday.
Mr.. Truman, it was learned, has
suggested to Mr.. Hoffman that he
reverse one of his basic policy deci-
sions-a two-and-a-half month ole
order ending Government grain
buying on December l and return
ing the wheat and corn export
trade to private channels.

aligned himself against Mr.. Hoff-
