She quickly learned that she was

some money, he should be asked
for identification If he can't pro-
duce either a Service discharge or
other evidence supporting his claims
then the police the sheriff or the

PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. Is
A poll by Elmo Roper shows that
73 of 100 Americans among
3,502 querried consider the best
way to strive for peace is to
work along with the United Ma
tlons or strengthen 1t.
The Roper poll-announced
yesterday-said 9 per cent be-
lieve the United States should
pursue a strict isolationist course
to avoid war and Z per cent feel
there is little use left in strug-
Cling for peace. Eleven per cent
gave no opinion.

Fifty-three per cent are almost

possible to avoid it, and IL per

Six per cent want to see the
United States go to war with

United States to stop defense

u. 5. Efforts 10 Get
672Lend-Le Ships
From Russia Snagged
By The Associated Press

State Department attempts to
get 672 lend-lease ships back
from Russia were no closer to
realization today than a year
ago, after apparent progress
went up in smoke.
Under an arrangement dis
closed yesterday United States
and Soviet representatives were
supposed to meet here today to
begin working out return of 1856
of the vessels.
But a State Department
spokesman said the Soviet En-
bassy called off the meeting after
Ambassador Georgi zarubin paid
a visit yesterday to Acting Sec
retary of State Walter Bedell
Smith.
The crux of the disagreement
seemed to be: The Russians
wanted to talk about their whole
lend-lease account, nearly $11
billion by United States esti-
mate. The United States want
ed to discuss only the 1856 ships.
Would Discuss Whole Situation.
A State Department official
said Mr.. Zarubin proposed TAX
ing up the whole situation. Gen.
Smith, he said, did not reject
this proposal but replied that he
felt negotiations should go "step
by STEP"
The spokesman said the i'm
paSse puts things back to where
they were November S, 1852.
when the United States was de-
manding return of the ships or a
meeting to work out their re-
turn.
The vessels were sent when
Russia was an ally during World
War II. The State Department
has said Russia can keep the
ships if it pays $500 million for
them.
The next move in the year
long negotiations apparently was
up to the United States
After Mr.. Zarubin left Gen.
Smiths Office, the spokesman
said, the Soviet Embassy tele-
phoned the department and said
today's scheduled meeting was
off.
Three Notes Disclosed.
Three diplomatic notes. dis
closed for the first time yeSter-
day, gave a picture of smoothly
moving negotiations between the
United States and Soviet govern
mentS about return of the 1876
naval vessels.
In the last note, dated Decem-
ber 8, 1858, the Russians agreed
to meet today to work out de-
tails"
But these hitherto secret ne
gotiations blew up yesterday with
Mr.. Zarubin's insistence on hav-
ing the conference take up the
whole question of lend-lease.
The State Departments reac-
ton to this, as one official put it,
was that we've been negotiating
this thing since April, 1948." This
official said the Soviet govern
ment has defaulted on a promise
to return the ships and, unlike
other countries, has provided no
inventory of the vessels it has.
Further, he said, the Soviet has
been unwilling to make an offer
of fair value" to pay for the
ships. The United States has as
sessed the ships at 50, ,600, 200, 900
but has agreed to take $500 mil
lion. The Russians have said $500
million is all they are willing to
pay.
