route was brought into being, ac-
cording to Prime Minister Stain
himself, to wrap the wealth of
the wild and icy Siberian North
into Russia's economy.
This was to be done by turning
the dangerous, ice-ridden, $780,
mile-long route into a normal,
freight-carrying waterway.
Its western terminal - Muir
mansk-is near the top of the
Scandinavian Peninsula.
The northern sea route clearly
would have importance in war
time If ships of Russia's European
navy had to be moved to reinforce
her far eastern fleet.
The route is icebound except
between July and October.
Western officials, nonetheless,
think the Russians are developing
ports along the route in case other
vital parts of the Soviet landmass
are blockaded in any future war.
Certain northern route ports are
linked with the Siberian interior
by three great Siberian rivers
the OBJ, the Lena and the Yenisei.
With ice breakers in action
where need be, regular shipping
services are believed operating be-
tween Murmansk and other ports
as far east as Vladivostok.
The officials said they are pretty
sure, too, that land and air bases
and rocket-launching sites are be-
ing built up in the region, especial
ly as new centers of industry have
arisen in Siberia.
These informants insisted on
anonymity. But they are in touch
with Western strategists whose
business is to try to find out what
the Russians are doing.
Russia's interest in developing
the Arctic shipping route has been
matched in recent times by her
interest in the Polar air routes.
Soviet ajrmen fly regularly over
the North Pole from bases on Cape
Chelyushkin, in the northernmost
Soviet Asia, and from points near
the mouths of the Lena, the Oh
and the Yenisei Rivers.

MIAMI R-The victim of Full

Cuban government says Batista

Carlos Prio Socarras, who was
ousted from the presidency when
Batista took over, made the state

In December, 1850, or January
1851, Prio said, Batista approached
Guillermo Alfonso Pujol, then vice
president and a political foe Of
Prio, with an offer to make hin
president after throwing out Prio.
Alfonso Pujol rejected the propo
sition, Prio said, and contacted
associates of Batista in an attempt
to persuade the Cuban strong man
to give up the plot.
If Alfonso Pujol had told him
of the plot at the time, Prio said,
81 would have taken the neces-
sary action to forestall it.

Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-The day of the
Superspeedy jet commercial air
liner over American skies appears
still to be about five years off
whether it's built by the British
or the Americans.
Keen rivalry between the Brit,
ish-who already have jet airliners
operating in Europe and Africa
and the Americans is stepped up
by two developments:
/. Executives of two U. S. air
lines who have been looking over
the British built Comet say Brit
ish construction methods are too
slow-and the American orders the
British hoped for have gone glim-
mering for the time at least.
2. An American aircraft builder
-Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle
has jumped into the jet CONNER
cial plane field.
The British offered to fill the
discussed American carriers or
lers for jets by 1857.
Boeing's initial model of a jet
transport plane viii be ready to
est in the summer of 1854. It, too,
probably would be ready for the
,irlines to purchase in 1857.
Other American aircraft build
RS have blueprints of jet com
mercial airliners and have been
willing, and anxious, to build them.
The roadblocks to build and test
a model and get full scale pro-
duction going costs millions of dol
lars. Aircraft builders would like
the airlines to put up part of that
money. Even the U. S. government
has talked of helping with a sub
Sidy.
The presidents of both Pan
American and Eastern Air Lines
have looked over the British Com
ct and talked terms. 1t was said
in air circles here that chief
purpose of their trips was to nee
die American aircraft makers into
getting started on jets. The Brit
ish company, with government fl
nancial aid, got long head start
on the Americans.
But Capt. Edward ". Ricken-
packer, president Of Eastern, re-
turned to New York today with the
statement he'd like to buy IS to
so of the new type Comets but
couldn't get them until 1857.
Another u. S. air carrier off
cial-C. r. Smith, president Of
American Airlines-said the jet
transport airplane is still so ex-
pensive to operate that it's no good
for u. S. air routes at present
fares. The jet takes twice as much
fuel to 60 the same distance.
But they get there faster, and
they burn cheaper fuel.

Political
Notes
BY MARVIN l. ARRoWSMITH

{ KASSON DODGE CENTER,
MINI. B-Gov. AdIai E. Stevenson
bidding against Gen. Dwight d.
Eisenhower for farm belt votes,
today assailed Republican agricul-
tural policy and declared the ma
tons farmers stand to gain most
under a continued Democratic re-
gime.
Stevenson, the Democrats can
didate for the White House, de-
| scribed the farm plank drafted at
the COP convention-held near
the stockyards-as one of the prod
ucts of ''the Chicago slaughter"
He said that on the other hand
he is proud of the work his party
has done in the last 20 years ''to
restore the American farmer to
a position of equality and dignity
in our national life."
In a speech prepared for deliv-
cry at the national blowing con-
test, Stevenson was going before
thousands of the country's farm
erS just a few hours after Eisen-
hover, his Republican opponent,
spoke from the same rostrum.
Stevenson gave wholehearted en-
dorsement to the Democratic farm
plank-''no ifs, butts or maybes
about thiS"-calling for mandatory
price support of basic agricultural
commodities at no less than 80
per cent of parity. the formula
calculated to give farmers fair
return in relation to the price of
things they buy.
The party plank, said Stevenson
is clear, definite and sound, and
he added:
81 can stand on it without
squirming. / feel no need to modify
this provision or that, to explain
or to reinterpret. to dodge or to
hedge"
The Illinois governor thus lined
UP in support of the farm policy
President Truman also endorses
and he took a page from Humans
1948 book in roundly denouncing
the Republicans regarding farm
matters.
Truman's victory four years ago
has been credited largely to his
success in carrying farm states
the Republicans had counted on
winning.
Stevenson flew to Minnesota
from Denver, where Friday night
he began a nine-state Western
tour. He was scheduled to leave
by plane shortly after the blowing
contest speech for an address in
Cheyenne, Wyo., tonight.
In promising support of the par
tvs farm plank, Stevenson said:
Food prices are high enough
today. heaven knows. But supports
are not the reason. High employ
ment and strong purchasing pow
erin short, prosperity-are keep
ing most farm prices above sup
port levels.
what the support program does
is to encourage farmers to grow
more food. You can now plant
crops fairly secure in the knowl-
edge that prices will still be good
at market time.
THAT is one reason farm pro-
duction has increased almost so
per cent in the last 20 years"
Stevenson said more than half
the Republican members Of the
House Of Representatives voted
against a law, enacted just before
Congress adjourned, which extend
ed price support at so per cent Of
parity through 1854.
