No “Heads of State
Meeting”—T r uman
(Continued from Page One)
when and if it is.
A reporter putting this ques
tion quoted L»ie as saying the* real
crisis would come after the Ko
rean war is ended and that “high
level” meetings would be neces
sary to work out a solution.
The President said he would fa
vor anything that would contrib
ute to world peace.
“That raises the old question
whther there will be a meeting of
heads of state,” a reporter re
marked. Mr. Truman replied flat
ly there will be no such meeting.
He agreed however, that he was
differentiating bteween heads of
state and’high level meetings.
Turning again to anti-inflation
controls, the President said exist
ing government agencies could
handle the administrative job ef
ficiently. When asked whether
that meant another bPA is unlike
ly he said: “You can take it that
way if you like.”
He said*he had been spending
five years improving the govern
ment’s administrative setup and
it is now an excellent and efficient
- . 0 , * ® '
machine. He repeated there is no
need as yet for price, wage-ra
tioning controls, but when needed
they should be put into operation
all at) once.
Mr. Truman said he is in con
stant touch with John R. Steel
man, his assistant, who is trying
to avert a threatened railroad
strike. But he had no comment on
demands by the conductors and
trainmen’s unions for a 40-hour
work week with no loss in take
home pay.
He also had no comment on

Lewis of Seattle, here for concil
iation service meetings, said that
if the plumbers’ dispute is permit
ted to run its course, it could tie
up $200,000,000 to $400,000,000
in defense work.
The plumbers, asking for a 50
cent hourly pay increase, have
agreed to compromise their de
mands on the defense projects
outside Anchorage for a tempor
ary rate of $3 an hour and room
and board. They now receive $2.50
an hour and room and board out
side Anchorage and $3 an hour
within the city limits.
Ching assigned a panel of three
commissioners to meet with the
union and contractors in Seattle at
the conciliation offices, xte com

Concentration Of
Russian Shipping
Puzzles Allies
NEW YORK, (/P) — Mysterious
| large-scale movements of the Rus
j sian merchant marine near Korea
| are reported by U. S. ship owners.
Assembling floating dry docks,
! vessels and supplies at Vladivo
! stok—the chief Siberian port and
; only 500 miles from Korea—was
reported by the American mer
i chant marine institute Wednesday
night after a study of maritime
movements in th Pacific.
“What bearing all this may have
i on the Korean situation remains
! to be seen,” the Institute said.
“Many of the ships are known to
! be carrying grain, while others
| are laden with general cargo,” the
report said.
“This heavy movement by water
could mean {hat the Trans-Siber
ian railroad is fully occupied with
the transportation of military ma
terials.” '
The Institute, a trade organiza
tion of ship owners whose vessels
fly the American flag, said study
of available records indicated the
, stepped-pu Russian activity in the
i Pacific has extended over several
•_. w . * .: t r ;/ -* 1“ ' ■
weeks.
'hie report said “a sizable por
tion” of '{he Red merchant fleet
* t »
i’ has been reported bound for Vla
!! divostok.
s | Many Russian vessels have been
; making the 9,000-mile voyage
i. from the BJack Sea port of Odessa
»’ to Vladivostok, and some others
• have sailed l?,j>00 miles out of the
l Baltic area, heading for the Pa
pific via the Mediterranean.
