AR MS 20 R CHIN A AR E NOW ON WAY

BREMERTON, Wash, Nov. 12.- R-A Naval attack cargo ship was reported to have sailed from the naval ammunition depot near here two days ago with large cargo of small arms ammunition for China.
 The Bremerton Sun and the Se- attle -Intelligencer both report ed the sailing. The newspapers said the shipment was reportedly bound for China. Naval sources refused to comment.
 The newspapers said loading into naval attack transports at the naval depot at nearby Bangor have been carried on the last eight days on a two-Shift basis with 150 men em- ployed. The cargo of the first ship was listed at 1900 tons of 30 and AS caliber ammunition. The Post Intelligencer also quoted its Wash- ington Bureau as saying that the consignment was known to include 42 P-47 fighter planes.
 Both Chinese and American sources in Washington have report ed that the first major shipment of American guns and ammunition to China since the Communist sweep in Manchuria was nearly ready for departure The report has not been confirmed officially.

C 0p M AY BACK ARMS
 FOR EUROPE
in Favor of Helping Western Eur
 ope 10 Defend Self
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12--lP-A new COP pledge to help friendly na- tions regain their feet defensively raised administration hopes today for Republican backing of the forth coming arms-for- Europe program.
 In a declaration aimed pointedly at Moscow, Senator Vandenberg of Michigan put his fellow congress sionaI Republicans on record-as nearly as any one man can-in fav- or of helping Western Europe to de- fend itself
 The Michigan Senator, who steps down in January as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, told the Reserve Officers As- sociation in Philadelphia last night
 While never neglecting prudent conservation of our own resources, we shall aid other friendly. inde- pendent nations to stand on their own feet in defense of their own freedom. Western civilization shall survive"
 WARNING BY VANDENBERG
 Vandenberg put this warning to Moscow on top of another assertion: That 1t would be dangerous mis- calculation for the Kremlin to be- lieve that President Truman's elec- ton means any softening in Amer ican opposition to further Russian expansion.
 While he did not specifically promise support of any military aid plan, Vandenberg's statement seem ed to represent step beyond the point he was willing--or able--to reach in his United Nations resolu- tion which the Republican, -controll- ed Senate adopted last June.
 RESOLUTION PLEDGES
 That resolution pledged only:
 Progressive development of re- giOnal and other collective arrange ments for individual and collective self-defense in accordance with the purposes, principles and provisions of the United Nations charter.

:0RlAER JAP WARL 0RDS ARE CONVICTED
Dired Charge Against Russia
 Hurled by Secretary of 5tate

PARIS, Nov. 12-tR-S Secretary of State George C. Marshall de- clared today the Russians are carrying on a propaganda peace offensive hoping to weaken the position of the United States.
 Marshall told news conference Russian propaganda in the United Nations Assembly has not been suc- cessful. He said the great majority of nations in the U. N. have lined up solidly in their opinions on the world situation.
 The Secretary said the Moscow reaction to published suggestions that Prime Minister Stalin and President Truman confer on world problems is one of the propaganda peace efforts.
 Such peace efforts are very dang erous because everyone sincerely wants peace, but not everyone wants mere propaganda for peace, Marshall said.
 We (the United States) are rep resented as being war mongers, but what we want is peace, he said.
 Marshall said the propaganda peace offensive was designed pri- marily to exploit the worlds desire for peace.

MEMORIAL TO FDR
 BE UNVEILED TODAY, WESTMINSTER ABBEY

LONDON, Nov. 12.-lR-The sec ond memorial to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated this year in London, will be unveiled in Westminster Abbey today. The specially designed plaque is a more modest symbol of remem- 0rance than the heroic statue un- yelled in Grosvenor Square last April by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
 It will, however. be an unusually significant memorial in that the late president will be the first head of foreign state ever so honored in Westminster Abbey. Furthermore, the plaque will occupy the last re- maining niche in the Abbey.
 The Roosevelt niche is above the roll of honor of civilian casualties in the last war.
