Russia Deadlocks
Minister’s Meet
(By John M. Hightower)
MOSCOW, (/P)—Russia and the
western powers were deadlocked
Saturday in the deputy foreign
ministers’ conference on the issue
of Soviet claims to German assets
and Albanian participation in the
framing of the German peace
treaty.
Meanwhile, secretary of state
Marshall summoned Lt. Gen. Lu
cius D. Clay, the American mili
tary governor of Germany to come
to Moscow at once as a chief ad
viser to the American delegation
at the council of foreign ministers
sessions.
Some western diplomats specu
lated that Soviet foreign minister
Molotov might spring a surprise
proposal on German economic is
sues when the subject comes before
the council early this week.
The situation brought about by
Molotov’s efforts to arrange talks
on the Chinese crisis boiled again.
The Chinese embassy formally
notified Marshall and British for
eign secretary Ernest Bevin “The
Chinese government cannot talk
in or agree to” Molotov’s suggested
meeting on the problem. This evi
dently ruled out finally any forma,
talks on China to which Marsha’i
has insisted he would not agree
without Chinese participation.
On the issue of Albania, the
ministers’ deputies previously had
agreed to turn the matter over to
their principals immediately. Sov
iet deputy Andrei Y. Vishinsky in
sisted that Albania, with which
Britain and the United States are
at odds, must be included in any
group of small powers invited to
form a consultative panel on Ger
man treaty making.
Russia’s Feodor T. Gousev
blocked a British-French proposal
that the deputies define what con
stituted German assets in Austria.
Gousev said the Soviet Union

President Enjoys
Deep Sea Fishing
KEY WEST, Fla. </P) — Presi
dent Truman, a smiling vacationer
in a tan sports slack suit and a 1
long-billed cap, went deep sea fish-,
ing off the Florida Keys Saturday.
Virtually his entire staff went
along in two crash boats, the Dol
phin and the Sandy, provided by
the naval submarine base where
Mr. Truman has been resting since
Wednesday.
He has not yet talked with sec
etary of State George C. Marshall
on his address to Congress which
drew sharp criticism from the Sov
iet official press because of his ad
vocacy of support of Greece and
Turkey in their resistance to Com- j
munism.
The President maintained silence
on a blast by the newspaper Izves
tia accusing the United States of
interfering in the internal affairs
of other nations.
KEY WEST, Fla. <&)—President
Truman, kept away from the
beach again by overcast skies,
spent this morning reading tele
grams congratulating him on his
daughter’s radio debut.
He decided to fly back to Wash
ington Wednesday, leaving short
ly after lunch with a view to hav
ing dinner in the White House.
The weather being too chilly
for swimming and too cloudy for
sunbathing, Mr. Truman slept un
til 7:20 o’clock again, eating a
hearty breakfast 30 minutes later.
He slept under blankets.
Lady Motorist <to cop>—Sure I
know this is a safety zone! That’s
why I drove in! ,

where the eastern zone was con
cerned, and Gen. Mark W. Glark,
U. S. deputy for the Austrian
treaty, agreed that was proper un

MacArtliur Advises
Early End Of
Japan Occupation
TOKYO, (/P)—General MacAr
thur today advocated an early end
of the military occupation of Japan
and elimination of Allied head
quarters’ position under a formal
peace treaty on which negotai
tions should begin “as soon as
possible.”
“Control and guidance” of Jap*
pan’s democratization should then
continue under supervision of the
United Nations, MacArthur told
correspondents in his first on-the
record press conference since early
in the war. •
He declined to specify when he
though peace negotiations should
begin, but indicated he believed it
should be within a matter of
months at the longest. He likewise
declined to speculate on the prob
able length of additional supervi
sion.
He said Japan was under a con
tinuing economic blockade.
“Economic warfare along those
lines still is as bitter here as when
guns were firing. ... No weapon,
not even the atom bomb, is as
deadly in its final effect as econo
mic warfare.”
Japan “has got to be allowed to
trade with the world,” he went on.
We’ve got to take it out of the
hands of the government and put
t in the hands of private traders.”
MacArthur said Japan was
“thoroughly exhausted” economic
ally at the end of the war and that
“all she had left was men.”
“Even under strictest rationing,
Japan is not producing enough to
satisfy her needs. The difference
must be filled by the Allies. If we
keep this economic blockade up,
more and more will we have to
support this country.
“It is an expensive luxury. But
wo w 11 pay for it or let people die
hy the millions,” he declared.
