sidering whether Congress should j

concerning the • “troops-to- Eu

first witness at hearings.
In ripping the top-secret label
off this much of the government's j
blueprint for defending Western ,
Europe, Marshall emphasized that j
the aim of the forces is to keep
the peace.
He said the intention is:
1. “To deter aggression if that
be possible and
2. “To defeat aggression if, in
spite of all our efforts, the actions
-of the Soviet Union or its satel
lites should precipitate another
world war.”
As to any Congressional stand,
Marshall strongly urged that the
Legislators should not do any
things which would tie the hands
of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, as
commander of Allied forces, by,
limiting the number of troops that
could be placed under his com
mand. \

India Has Thorium

i ■■■■■—■ ■
WASHINGTON, tfP) — Here’s
one hush-hush reason for this
country’s policy of patience and
kindness toward India:
India has three-quarters of the
world’s supply of thorium, a min
eral that may become tremendous
ly important in the atomic energy
rae with the Soviet Union, and
j the U. S. government doesn’t want
to risk letting this supply fall into
unfriendly hands.
The whole subject is shrouded
in secrecy but one government of
ficial, who asked not to be quoted
by name, acknowledged today j
that India’s possession of all this!
potential atomic material had its j
effect on American policy.
It may well have influenced
President Truman’s request—en- j
dorsed in principle by former j
President Herbert Hoover and va- j
rious other leading Republicans—
for a gift of two million tons of
wheat tothe government of India
to help avert the danger of fam
ine.

SEEK TO STOP NEW ROUND
OF POSTWAR WAGE HIKES
WASHINGTON, (A3) — Industry
members of the wage stabilization
board, determined to fight off a
new round of postwar wage in- '
creases, proposed that the govern
ment limit future pay raises to
eight per cent above Jan. 15, 1950,
levels.
The three management repre
sentatives on the nine-man board
said they hoped to allow only
“catch-up inequities’, of that size
in future contracts. But they
would agree to another review of
the wage picture next June. Since
V-J Day in August 1945, there
have been four or five, general
