| Soviets Will Lift
Berlin Blockade
If ....
(By Eddy Gilmore)
MOSCOW, OP)—Prime Minis
ter Stalin’s latest pronouncement
has convinced many Russians their
leader is going to meet President
Truman, Foreign diplomats here
are much more cautious — even
doubtful.
The question: “Will Stalin and
Truman meet?” is the gambit for
many conversations among the
Muscovites today and the answer
follows the same pattern: “I be
lieve they will.”
An American newsman asked
Stalin, in writing:
“Would your excellency be pre
pared to confer with President
Truman at a mutually suitable
place to discuss the possibility of
concluding sue ha pact of peace?”
Stalin’s reply Monday was:
“I have already stated before
that there is no objection to a
meeting.”
One foreign diplomat comment- i
ed:
“Truman has said he 11 be glad
to meet Stalin in Washington any
time. Now Stalin says there is no
objection to a meeting, but notice,
the answer is general. It does not
specify where, or even at a mutu
ally suitable place.”
The Russian leader also said the
Soviet government would be will- 1
ing to discuss a joint declaration
of peaceful intentions and grad
ual disarmament.
'Stalin has said previously that
he would be willing to meet with
Mr. Truman. The President, in
turn, has offered to meet with Sta
lin any time the Soviet leader will
come to Washington. Officials in
Washington pointed out, however,
that there has been no official ap
proach for such a meeting).
In answer ot a series of ques- ^
tions Stalin also said Russia “sees
no obstacles” to lifting the Berlin
blockade if the western powers
meet two condi ions.
I
One would be postponement of
the establishment of a western
German state pending a meeting
of the big four council of foreign
ministers on the entire German
issue. The other would be lifting
of the Allied counter-blockade.
<The offer to lift the Berlin
blockade if the Allies first meet in
the foreign ministers council also
has been made previously).
Stalin’s statements -mswered
questions submitted by Kingsbury
Smith, general European director
of the International News Service.
The statements followed by wo
days a Soviet 34-page white paper
asserting the projected North At
lantic pact is intended to set up
American-British world domina
tion by force.

Losses Mount From

Blizzards And
Storms In States
(Continued from Page One)
by blizzards, sub-zero tempera
tures and ice and sleet storms was
at lea£t 112.
The damage to citrus and vege
table crops run into the millions
of dollars—$30,000,000 in Califor
nia alone.
The livestock loss still is unde
termined and probably will not be
known until spring. The job of
saving the thousands of cattle and
.^eep which were snowbound on
the western rangelands by Janu
ary blizzards still is not finished.
Neither is the huge task of bring
ing relief to the thousands of ma
rooned ranchers and Indians.
Some communities in the west
ern blizzard area were isolated
for days—some for we§ks.
The federal government joined
with he western blizzard States
in the relief and rescue work.
Planes and snow-moving equip
ment moved in. Bulldozers and
snow plows opened the snow
locked highways and secondary
roads. Planes carrying tons of
hay flew over the isolated regions,
dropping their cargo to the starv
ing livestock. Planes also took
food and medical supplies to
snowbound communities and In
dian reservations.
In Wyoming out of an estimated
775,000 cattle and 1.500,000 sheep,
the estimated losses run from 50,
000 to 60,000 cattle and 105,000
to 110,000 sheep.
AFL Seeks Repeal
Of State Labor Law
MIAMI, Fla., (/P) — The AFL
yesterday charted a drive to re
peal state laws it considers re
strictive on labor unions and
picked small industrial Delaware
as a starting point.
Joseph Keenan, director of the
AFL’S political arm — called la
bor’s league for political educa
tion—said Delaware has the worst
an i-labor law in the country,
worse even than the Taft-Hartley
act.”
We re going to devote our ef
forts to see what we can do to re
peal such state laws, particularly
in the states where we have had
changes in the political complex
ions of legislatures,” he added.
The AFL has a dual purpose in
mind: one, to have what it calls
‘‘little Taft-Hartley laws” cancel
led out, and two, in the process to
develop state and local political
s'rength for the 2950 congression
al elections.
