Atlantic Pact Aimed
AT Any Crazy Hitler,
Norway's Envoy Says
Sy the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 5.-Norway' S
Ambassador says the North At
lantic pact, with which his coun-
try has aligned itself, is designed
to stop any "crazy Hitler" that
might Challenge the free world. y
Ambassador Wilhelm Munthe de
Morgenstierne said last night that
Norway learned her lesson in
1910" when she was invaded by
the Nazis. and today does not
believe that neutrality has any
relation to the facts of life"
"All that Norway wants." he
said, land all that the Atlantic
countries want, I am sure. is to
be absolutely certain that through
solidarity we can hold the from
tiers of freedom, law and democ-
racy if, in spite of everything,
another crazy Hitler should chal-
lenge the free world
Sees Denmark Joining Pact.
Mr.. de Morgenstierne said there
is very good chance of Den
marks joining the pact. He said
talks toward a Scandinavian
treaty among Norway, Sweden
and Denmark had failed because
the countries decided they could
not defend themselves against an
aggressor without assistance from
the outside"
The Ambassador, who spoke at
an Overseas Press Club dinner
honoring Gen. George C. Marshall
former Secretary of State, also
praised the glorious Red Army
which was the first to liberate a
part of Norwegian SOIL from the
Nazis.
Gen. Marshalls successor, Sec
retary of State Acheson, also
spoke briefly. Neither he nor Gen.
Marshall commented on the re-
placement in Russia of Foreign
Minister Molotov by Deputy Min
lister Vishinsky. except for a pass
ing reference to the shift by Mr..
Acheson. when he said:
ITO succeed Marshall requires
more courage than one man is re-
quired to summon in a lifetime
Indeed, I'm wondering how Mr..
Vishinsky feels about this situa-
ton"
Cites Tremendous Change"
Gen. Marshall told the gather
ing of 1000 persons that a tire
mendous change" has taken place
In this country's role in interna-
tional affairs-a change so great
that people don't realize the eff
feet of what we say and do"
I'VE are unaccustomed to our
position as a powerful influence
throughout the world" Gen. Mar
shall said.
He added that he was confident
Americans are determined to GO
through" with the Marshall Plan
under which he says there has
been more international economic
cooperation ''in five months than
in the previous 500 years."

BY the Associoied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 5.-The
giant flying boat Caroline Mars.
Workhorse of the air, laid claim
today to all records for passenger
loads.
The Caroline landed here yes
terday with 269 passengers aboard.
the greatest number ever carried
in any type of aircraft.
The six crew members and 263
Navy men being transferred to

heavier -than-air craft record by
bringing 222 persons up from San
Diego. That flight erased the rec

House Rules Group
To Resume Study Of
Pension Bill Monday

House Rules Committee men,
bers took breather today in their
consideration of the Rankin vet
erans' pension bill. Hearings will
be resumed Monday.
Pension advocates were remind
ed at yesterdays hearing that the
estimated 100000, 600, ,00O- -in-50-
years cost of such a scheme-it
would cover all World War I and
World War II veterans-Would
eventually have to come out Of
taxes" The statement was made
at the hearing by Representative
Byrnes. Republican, of Wisconsin.
He added:
And since veterans will con-
stitute so per cent of the taxpayers.
it amounts to taking money out OF
one pocket and putting it in an
other"
I Representative Cox, Democrat,
of Georgia, agreed.
Up to Rules Committee.
But Representative Allen. Dem
ocrat, of Louisiana. said that ever
since the Revolutionary War the
United States has pensioned its
veterans within 18 to 35 years after
hostilities and would not be setting
a new precedent.
The Rankin bill already has been
approved by the House Veterans
Committee which Representative
Rankin heads
1t is up to the Rules Committee
to clear the measure for general
debate on the House floor. The
bill provides $90-a-month- -at-65
for veterans of both World Wars.
Cost Put at 109 Billion.
The Rules Committee is ex-
pected to send the measure to the
House, but with strings attached
to permit unlimited amendments.
In that event, opponents Of the
bill may load it down with so
many amendments as to cause its
defeat or force it back to COM
mittee.
Mr.. Byrnes said the Veterans
Administration had estimated the
measure would cost around $109,-
100000 between 1850 and the
year 1000, with outlays continu-
ing after that at the rate of ST.
| 600 .0OO. 900 a wear.

Russia's new Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky is a free
swinging orator who packed in
capacity crowds whenever he
spoke before the United Nations
He always speaks in a loud
voice. Shouting is his normal
form of delivery. AS he warns up
his arms whip the air and his
voice grows even louder.
Mr.. Vishinsky turned in what
might be considered his top speak
! ing performance in his war
monger" speech at the 1947 Unit
ed Nations Assembly in New York
His speech ran 5000 words and
took one hour and 80 minutes
He put the label of "warmonger
on John Foster Dulles. American
representative to the U. N, and
others.
Every now and then Mr.
Vishinsky gets off vivid phrase
In one blast against the United
States he charged the United
States with preparing "a Pear
Harbor" for Russia.
He once attacked a U. N. COM
mittee report on the Balkans as
pile of garbage He said
U. N. Balkan investigators were
amateur Sherlock Holmses."
Once Challenged to Duel.
A Cuban of Italian descent once
challenged Mr.. Vishinsky to q
duel for defining the Italian SOL
dier as a better runner than
fighter.
In an attack on the United
States atomic energy policy, Mr.
Vishinsky shouted that the U. N
must ban that hell of the bomb
Once, with sarcasm, he referred
to that little bomb.
When Mr.. Dulles charged al
Paris that the Communists were
trying to encircle the world Mr.
Vishinsky cried "bosh' and fairy
tales"
Mr.. Vishinsky is a table thumpel
when the going gets rough, anc
even sitting down he bounces ur
and down in his chair, waving his
arms, during an argument.
He never forgets he once was
Russia's top prosecutor. He first
gained world notice as prosecutor
in the Moscow purge trials of 1896
and 1887.
Mr.. Vishinsky is slightly built
man with gray hair and a red
face. He walks with a nervous
quick step. He is genial of the
U. N. floor.
He did some surprising things
at the U. N. He once held a news
conference for ~ hours with more
than 500 present. He turned ur
at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic
Church in New York City for g
solemn mass intended to invoke
divine guidance on the U. N
deliberations.
Began as Menshevik.
He started out in Russia with
the Menshevik minority faction o.
the Communist Party which late
lost to the Bolsheviks, the more
leftist of the two.

"The Gateway that thousands of
young men and women begin
their air force training. Home of

(for both men and women1 Lack
land is also the major basic train
ing center for all airmen and
WAFs.
During the II weeks of stiff
orientation, airmen and WAFs
(women in the air force) are
trained in various subjects which
will give them firm foundation
for their air force careers. The
men are physically reconditioned;
they learn to fire carbines, they
practice marching; they attend
lectures ranging from military
and aeronautical history to per-
sonal health and the care of their
clothing. The program for the
women is much the same as that
for the men. The women, how
ever, do not fire weapons, and
their physical training program is
not so arduous.
After basic training comes
higher schooling, and in this field
there are no limits to advance
ment.
