U.S. Wants Russia
To Return Ships
(Continued from Page One)
January. Thus far, they said, Rus
sia has “stalled” about turning
them back.
The original request for return
of the vessels went out early in
the negotiations. Apparently ir
ritated by Russia’s failure to com
ply, the State Department in Jan
uary then demanded their “im
mediate return.”
Marshall said the Russians have
returned eight merchant ships
“lend-leased” to them but they
still hold 87 others. The return
of these is one of the main topics
under discussion.
