Marshall Meant
ALL Of Europe
WASHINGTON, WP)—Secretary
of State Marshall said yesterday
that when he proposed European
nations get together on an econo
mic program he was thinking of
Russia and Great Britain as well
as other nations.
Marshall made the proposal in
a speech at Harvard university a
week ago. He was bombarded
with questions about it at a news
conference yesterday, his first
since the speech.
In his replies, the secretary of
state disclosed that Winston Chur
chill’s urging of a United States
of Europe had influenced his de
veloping the idea that the Euro
peans should work out their own
economic recovery plans and that
the United States should extend
financial help to put them
through.
He gave no estimate yesterday
of how much financial assistance
might be required but other state
department officials have been
talking in terms of billions of dol
lars a year over the next several
years.

| Seal Catchers Get
I Wage .Hike
-
j WASHINGTON, (JP) — High
I prices are forcing the interior de
partment to boost the income o?
' Aleut seal-catchers on the Pribilof
' Islands in the Bering Sea.
1 Oscar L. Chapman, undersec
! retary of the interior, said yester
day that the 136 native sealers
employed to attend the govern
ment’s $100,000,000 sea herd—and
i to kill and skin the marketable
| animals—will receive a 25 per
cent “cost of living’’ bonus pend
! ing a full study of the methods by
i which they are compensated.
An interior department sealing
I expert estimated that the average j
I bonus^ will be $150.
j The sealers, in addition to their
j small wages, receive food, shelter,
i health service and education at!
! government expense. They spend
l their pay for incidentals.
The sealing season Will bc-' n
j late this month. The fish and wild
; life service estimates that the;
catch will range from 60,000 to
j 80,000 skins. The record take was
90,000 in 1944 after two non-seal- j
| ing years. Last year’s catch was j
| 64,523 skins, a decrease of 12,441
from the 1945 total.
! The tederal government as
sumed active managemen* of the
Pribilof fur-seals in 1910, when
the herd had dwindled from more j
than 3,000,000 animals to 132,000.,
Last year the seal population of!
the islands was 3,306.000 and this
year it is estimated at 3.500.000. j
the largest number in more than
75 years.
The government sells its Pribil
of furs twice a year, at auctions at
St. Louis, Mo.

j Sugar Rationing
Ends In States
_ •
WASHINGTON, (^>) — The last
«var* imposed coupon control over
ihe American public vanished yes
terday as sugar rationing for
home, restaurant and hotel use
ended at midnight Wednesday.
After five years in which ration
.stamps meant more than money—*
whfen it came to meat, canned
goods, shoes, tires, gasoline and a
host of other things—individual
Americans are free of coupon
worries for the first time since
April 28, 1942.
The last ration book can be
thrown away.
However, sugar price controls
remain. So does rationing of in
dustrial sugar. But these two
curbs are scheduled to end Oct.
31.
Secretary of agriculture Ander
son ordered the sugar ration end
late Wednesday, thus beating the
Republican-controlled Congress to
the draw. The House had set foj* a
vote today a bill calling for the,
immediate end to household su-j
gar rationing.

Asks Retail Credit
Controls Continue
WASHINGTON, (>P)—President
Truman recommended yesterday
that Congress pass a bill permit
ting continuance of controls on
consumer credit in peacetime.
Unless Congress does this, Mr.
Truman said he plans to end pres
ent regulations, based on wartime
legislation. These regulations, i n
der executive order, fix the s'/e
of down payments and fix ' v
length of time in which the b -
ance due must be paid by inst i l
ments.
These controls affect purch ses
of such things as household g o
refrigerators and automobiles.
Mr. Truman’s views were slat : 1
in a letter to Marriner S. E cl •' 1
chairman of the federal reserve
board, which wields the controls
on installment-buying credit. Ec
cles read the letter to the House
banking committee.
Eccles has asked the cmmlttee
to pass a measure giving the re
serve board power to continue op
eration of controls in peacetime.
