Truman Says
 He Will Do As
 He "Damn" PIeases
(BY Douglas B. Cornell)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman parked at reporters yes terday in a chipS-on-the shoulder news conference that they were disgruntled, he didn't like their attitude, and they ought to cool off.
 That was all because he had given an exclusive interview to Arthur Krock of the New York Times and reporters were trying to amplify some of the points in that interview regarding dealings with Russia.
 The chief executive said with obvious heat that he is his own free agent, he will see whom he pIeases, say what he pleases, and he isn't going to be censored by anyone.
 When the President emphasized that he is going to do as he pleases, somebody asked whether

CORDOVA, (P) - A bri g h t gleaming aerial object moving at terrific speed was reported by a Cordova Air Service pilot and his passenger yesterday near Hinchbrook Island between here and Seward.

 "The object definitely could not be identified as any known type of aircraft" Barr said.

Thursday. February Is. 1850 CBy The Associated PresS)


 There is a growing feeling in western capitals today that secret protocols of the new SinO-Russian treaty have sold the Chinese peo- pie down the Yangtze.
 In Washington, secretary of state Acheson said that Chinese and Russian negotiators obvious ly were not in Moscow for nine weeks just to come up with the simple alliance announced yes terday.
 The full impact of secret cOdi- cils will become known only through time and events, Wash ington observers said. Similar opinions were expressed in Lon don and Paris.
 Highly placed diplomats believe that Russia's overall strategy calls for three distinctive spheres in the Far East
 The first sphere valuable to Russian security are the border areas; Manchuria, Inner MOngol- ia, Outer Mongolia and Sinkiang- Russia is expected to maintain iron clad control over these areas directly or through trusted agents China proper is the second sphere. Here Russia will attempt l to dominate internal and foreign policies as much as possible but with a wary eye on China's poor financial structure and unstable political history.
 The third sphere is southeast Asia where communism is knock ing at the door.
 A three-day meeting of top American diplomats in the Orient broke up in Bangkok Thailand (Siam) in a gloomy atmosphere. To many it seemed that Moscow timed the announcement of the o-RuSsian pact to take the edge off the American conference.
 Some of the American diplo- mats were represented as believ- ing even now it is too late for United States aid to check the communist advance in this corner of the world.
 Conservative strategy in the British election campaign will be made cleared today. Labor had chosen the battlefield of planned economy and full employment. The Conservative are attempting to force Labor to the battlefield of international policies.
