Report Secret Rus sian-Chinese.Deal
(BY Drew Pearson)

Word of a new and highly im- portant secret military agreement between Russia and Communist China has just reached Washing ton. The deal could be a serious one for our future position in Ko- req.
 According to the best intelli- gence information, the agreement was signed in Moscow at about the time the United Nations cease fire order was under discussion. The deal was probably put across in order to bolster the Chinese and prevent them from yielding to the cease-fire proposals. In brief, here is what Russia gives to China un- der the new military past:
 1. The Kremlin will help train and equip ten new divisions for the Chinese Peoples Republic These divisions are to be compos- ed of foreign troops, one-half Jap prisoners of war, plus an unSpeci- fled number of Inner Mongolians.
 2. The Kremlin to provide the Chinese Peoples Republic with 100 jet planes.
 3. Train 1000 Chinese pilots.
 4. Train 2,0OO Chinese para troopers.
 5. Station 30O,oOO Russian troops in Manchuria.
 6. Provide the Chinese army with heavy equipment including tanks and artillery-exact number not determined.
 '. Russia will return to China AT of the industrial plants it re- moved from Manchuria in 1945- 46.
 At present the U. s. military sit uation in Korea is better than ever, with Communist forces, suf- fering terrible casualties. How ever, this new military deal be- tween Moscow and the Chinese has aroused considerable U. S. worry regarding the future.

ATTACK ON YUGOSLAVIA
 WOULD ENDANGER PEACE

WASHINGTON (P)-Secretary of State Acheson said today any communist attack on Yugoslavia would dangerously strain the fab ric of world peace.
 He told a news conference that is as specific as he can be now on United States policy as to the pos sibility of a Soviet satellite as- sault this spring on Yugoslavia.
 In general, Acheson said, Amer ican policy stands now as it was summed up in President Truman's message to Congress last July 19, after the outbreak of the Korean fighting.
 At that time, MT. Truman warn ed those who have the power to unleash or withhold acts of ag- gressi0n that any new aggressive moves would strain the fabric of world peace dangerously.

FAXED PHOTOGRAPH MAY COST SENATE SEAT
 One of the hghlights of the recent campaign in the State of Maryland the exhibition of fake photo graph showing Senator Tydings in conversation with the Communist Earl Browder
 The picture composite photograph, made by pasting two pictures together and then photographng them It was widely circulated in Maryland for the pur pose of impanting in the minds of the gube the idea that Senator Tydings was favorable to Communists.
 This is only of the tricks used against liberal can didates in the elections of 1950 Others known but this has been documented by investigators and may result in the loss of the seat by the Republican didate, John Butler.
 Drew Pearson recently asserted that the picture held in Baltimore printing shop until the secretary of
 Senator brought the money to pay for the ob It then turned loose the public for whatever effect 1t could produce upon simple minds.
 There is no excuse for such tactics No honorable would stoop such dishonest efforts to win election Not only should those guilty be punished but the dis reputable performance should warn all Americans not to believe all that they see much less what they hear during election campaign.

Lifting The Lid At Juneau


 Jensen was a member of a House Investigating committee last session and his critics contend he improperly tried to carry over the authority between sessions.
 He blasted 'McCutcheon on the bases of the Palmer airport deal and his legal fees from the aero- nautics commission, among other things.
 In opposing Jensen's appearance Rep. Ameli Gunderson O-Ketchi- | kan declared Jensen has done enough damage already, with his statements and charges. That in- vestigating committee was crea- ted for last session only" Jensen, conservative Democrat from Douglas, was defeated in 1850 for reelection.
 Two or three members men, toned that Jensen had appeared before several Alaska grand jur- ies without result.
 Kay, close confederate of Mo Cutcheon, declared maybe we have duty to hear him. He is an ex-member and has appeared be- fore grand juries without indict- ments." Kay said he would like to question Jensen. Rep. Glen Franklin D-Bound- ary), who served on the 1949 com mittee with Jensen but said he had no part in Jensen's between sessions activity, moved to hear Jensen.
 "I am sure McCutcheon can take care of himself" he added. McCutcheon abstained from vo- ting on the issue. During argument before the vote, he declared:
 ."I see an old headline-hunter in action again, making accusa- tions at the expense of other peo- pie. All I ask is fair play by all of you. I am willing to meet Jensen anytime any place. I see all too clearly his motive"
 McCutcheon was House speak CT in 1949.
 Other House developments yes terday included tabling of Kay's bill to create a legislative council. Kay moved that it be tabled, ex- blaming he was doing so because of passage of Franklin's legisla- tive Investigating bill. The House also completed legis- lative action on bill by Sen. Frank Barr D-Fairbanks) allow ing prison terms of 3 to 20 years instead of mandatory life, for youths under 19 in juvenile rape cases.

 Engebreth said the measure will propose new levy of three quar- ters of cent a pound on kings, reds, and sockeyes; half a cent on pinks and others.

Yanks started training at Ripon,
Wis. last Friday, and the players
still have not seen a head coach.
Meanwhile, Assistant Coach
Calhoun took over the coaching
duties temporarily. He is expected
to continue until a successor is
appointed.
Until yesterday Red Strader had

Collins said he was Completely

maintaining Red was not fired.
Shock to Him, Strader Says.
Strader, who has been the
Yanks' coach since midseason of
1913. said:
i most certainly was fired. I
was told definitely that I was
through. Needless to say it was
a shock to me. I was ready, willing
and able to carry on my duties
as coach, and I figured on doing
So"
Apparently the entire situation
evolved around an Interpretation
OF contract Collins admitted he
asked Strader to sign concerning
his health. Strader spent most of
June in the hospital with a heart
ailment.
Collins maintained he was ad-
vised it might be fatal for Strader
to continue as coach.
He continued:
''I was sympathetic and willing
for Strader to continue as coach.
but was unwilling to take upon
myself the responsibility for the
possible physical consequences to
Strader. I therefore requested
Strader to sign a letter absolving
me OF responsibility Strader
until the last moment indicated he
would do so, but apparently now
has finally decided he will not.
Under these circumstances, find
it impossible to permit Strader to
act as coach"
Loves Football, Coach Asserts.
Il never heard of that type of
document demanded of any one, /"
Strader said. 1T looks like a
death certificate :. the only diff
ference between me now and last
season is that I'm a year older.
My life is more important to me
than any one else. I love foot
ball, but I wouldn't go out there
if I thought it meant committing
suicide"
A graduate of st. Mary's Col
lege, Strader joined the Yanks as
an assistant coach in 1946 after
serving in the Navy during World
War II. He replaced Ray Flaher-
ty in 1948. Last season, the Yanks

many as he ever made in a whole
season before.
The big f1y-chaser doesn't have
any glib explanation of what
happened to push his batting
average up 80 points in month
and a half. Keep after him,
though, and he will give you at
least three reasons:
First. Dale says, he was hitting
in tough luck the first third of the
season. Il hit lot of balls good
but every ball I hit good seemed
to be right at somebody"
Change in Stance Aids,
Second. he's moved up on the
plate" Mitchell tended to fall
away as he swung and a majority
of his hits went to LEFT field. Now
he's hitting most of them to right
as you'd expect a lefthander to do
He's hitting with more power ano
he's still just as tough to strike
out-only eight whiffs so far this
season.
The third, simplest and perhaps
most important reason is self
confidence. AS Mitchell puts it;
"You know you can play ball"
Those who have followed Nit
chell since he came up to Cleve-
land from Oklahoma City five
years ago also know he can play
ball. One of the Tribes steadiest
Ihitters, he's never dropped below
the charmed 800. It will take q
strong finish to do it again, but

300 again. August and Septem.
