 Meanwhile Shanghais British and American leaders discussed a proposal to ask the United Ma tions to declare the metropolis an open city.
 The plan was rejected after what one diplomat called a full discus sion of "the whole mess" How ever, there were indications it might be revived later.

 Shanghai's land and water routes inland have been cut by the Reds. For the first time in years the Yangtze Cornucopia, which gushed inland merchandise into Shanghai, was stopped up. AS a result the city's markets were in chaotic condition. Chinese and foreigners grumbled over the situation which slowly choked off the city's in dustry
 One military observer in Shang- hai expressed the opinion the Reds would leave Shanghai alone and concentrate south and west ot the metropolis.

 WASHINGTON The Truman program continues to be slowed down in the Senate This is part ly because the Presidents key lead CTS have been torn apart by per- scnal feuds or moved down by sickness and exhaustion.
 Majority Leader Scott Lucas of Illinois has been in the hospital, worn out by the grueling grind or trying to keep Democratic forces to- gether. Before going to the hos pital he had wrangled with Sen. Howard McGrath, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. McGrath, according to complaint Senator Lucas made to the White House, was trying to steal the spotlight as Senate spokesman. And this in turn brought some sour private comments from Mo- Grath about Lucas.
 Meanwhile, two other Senate fig ures have been in the hospital

WALLACE MAkING
 CHARGES
Declares State Department Held Back Info on
 Blockade Lifting
By DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON, May 5.-lR-- Henry A. Wallace said today that a Russian offer on March 2l to lifr the Berlin blockade was deliberate ly withheld rom the public because the State Department feared 1t might block the North Atlantic Pact.
 He said the State Department held, up news of the Russian con cession" for over meath be cause it explodes the myth on which the North Atlantic Pact Is based and destroys the lasis on which it is being sold the the American people,
 There was no immediate reply from the Department to Wallace's charge.
 Wallace Charges
 The Russians told the Depart ment on March 21. Wallace said, that they were prepared to end the blockade on the sole condition that the Big Four Foreign Min isters meet to consider the whole German problem.
 A Big Four agreement announ- ced today provides for a meeting of the Foreign Ministers May 23, eleven days after the lifting of the Berlin blockade and the Vest ern counter blockade of the Soviet zone in Germany.
 Walace, former Vice President and now head of the Progressive Party was one of seven witnesses scheduled to testify before the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee today to argue against the l2-na- ton defe0se alliance.
 Vote On Treaty
 The committee is laying the groundwork for vote on the treaty which is not binding on the United States until after ratified by the Senate. For six days it has heard those in favor of the program. Now those against 1t have their turn.
 Wallace, in prepared state ment urged the committee to with hold action on the treaty until after Foreign Ministers confer- ence is held on the German sit- uation in New York.
 This is our great--it may be our last-opportunity to arrive at peaceful settlement of our differ ence' with Russia. he said.
 He said the Administration es- timate of the cost of the North At lantic military pact is "a plain fraud on the American taxpayer. He predicted the eventual cost will be as high at $30.0OO. Out, ,00O instead of the slightly over one billion dol lar figure some have set.
 He charged the defense pact was aggressive to Russia"

British Stand Makes
Americans Drop 50
Factory Projects ]
By the Assoeiafsd Press

LONDON. Nov. 16.-The British
government is reserving the right
to pick and choose among the
many projects for American
financed factories in Britain.
AS a result. at sleast 80 such
plans have been dropped, says the
American Chamber of Commerce
in London.
D. L. Gill, secretary of the
chamber, said all such schemes
are judged by the British govern
ment on the basis of whether they
will save this country dollars and
manufacture essential products.
Get Low Priority Rating.
If they don't qualify, they come
far down on the list for priority
on scarce labor and materials.
Eric Johnston, head Of the Mo-
ton Picture Association Of Amer
lea, said recently in q speech In
Detroit that one American firm
was confronted by a four-year de-
lay on a proposed $4,000,00O fac
tory. He said the firm, discouraged
by this "slow motion attitude"
gave up the project.
Americans Resentful.
Mr.. GIL told reporters he was
unable to identify the project Mr..
Johnston was talking about. but
he commented:
"The average American expects
the red carpet to be rolled out for
him if he comes to England to
start a factory here. The author
tiles cannot do this for everybody
and in consequence some projects
run into difficulties,
ITO me the explanations OF the
handicaps are reasonable, but
promoters of these schemes do not
understand the situation here. So
there is often a feeling OF resent
ment among Americans"
Since the war ended, is Ameri-
can firms have set up factories in
the United Kingdom A dozen
already are in production.

 In Baltimore, Glenn L. Martin, president of the defendant com pany, said the suit was a quarrel between insurance comp e S which does not affect us at all" The only way to settle the dispute, he added, is through the courts,
