Again for Return Of
Lend Lease Vessels

The United States prodded
Russia again yesterday for a re-
turn of 670 American ships OBJ
tained by the Soviet under lend
lease during World War II.
Undersecretary of State Wal
ter Bedell Smith called Soviet
Ambassador Georgi N. Zaroubin
to his office and handed him a
request that the United States
be informed soon of Soviet in
tentions about returning the YES
sells.
officials said the Ambassador
promised to inform Moscow of
the request Immediately.
Gen. Smith reminded Mr.. Ia
roubin that the Soviet had not
yet replied to an American note
of last November S on the mat
ter, or a March 20 note asking
a reply.
The $40 vessels the Russians
are asked to return include 554
small Navy craft, 81 merchant
ships and 20 Army vessels. The
Soviet so far has returned 27
frigates. 3 icebreakers and 8
merchant vessels obtained under
lend lease.
The United States insists on
return of the remaining vessels
before compromising any fur
ther on settlement of the over
all $11 billion Soviet lend-lease

offered to settle this for $500
million plus return of the ships.
Russia has offered 5000 million.
