Be Scuttled

(By Oliver W. DeWolf)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Reed R.-Kas.> said yesterday fail
ure to enact a “workable” Mar
shall plan could scuttle GOP elec
tion hopes.
Reed described himself as no
great champion of the European
recovery program (ERP) now be
fore Congress. But in a letter to a
fellow Kansan which he made
public today, he declared:
“The international point of view
in the northeastern part of the
United States and on the Pacific
Poast is so different from our
midwestern point of view, that if
the Marshall plan would fail of
passage President Truman could
hang the responsibility on the Re
publican party, and if . . .
“Between this time and Novem
ber, through failure of a work
able ERP to be passed, a commun
ist government should be chosen
to replace the present government

Freighter In
Atlantic Sends SOS
NEW YORK, (A*) — An Ameri
can freighter radioed yesterday
she had a crack in her hull and
was taking water fast in the rough
seas 800 miles east of Newfound
land, but later messaged she was
holding her own.
The vessel, the Pierre S. Du
pont, operated by U. S. Lines, car
ries a crew of 44 men, the line
said.
The coast guard said four ships
were in the vicinity of the Du
pont, the nearest 80 miles away.
They were in radio contact with
the distressed vessel the coast
guard added.
A report from Halifax said the
freighter Stanley Baldwin had
swung about and was heading for
the Dupont. It expected to reach
the ship in about eight hours.
Winds of 35 to 50 miles an hour
and waves 18 to 25 feet high were
reported in the area of the Du
pont. ,
November would not carry a state
east of Ohio (except perhaps
on the Pacific Coast.”

;New Orleans Has
I Old-Fashioned
Mardi Gras
(By Kris Kreeger)
NEW ORLEANS, (/P)—New Or
leans went on its annual mardi
gras bender yesterday, celebrating
a modern version of the world’s
oldest surviving festival.
The people dressed in fantastic
costumes, staged gaudy parades,
clambered over one another to see
the costumes and parades, danced
in the streets.
The pre-Greek shepherds who
started the business 5,000 years
ago might have been a bit sur-1
prised if they had chanced upon
; the scene-. But nobody would have i
noticed them—what with folks |
! disguised as decks of cards and
aspirin bottles, gypsies and con- j
victs, apes and ballet dancers.
Traditional climax of the affair
was the parade of mule-drawn1
floats led by Rex, King of the Car
; nival.
Rex, this year, was Dr. Alton
i Oschner, internationally known
surgeon. His queen was Elizabeth
Lee Nicholson, debutante daugh
; ter of Yorke P. Nicholson, first
vice president of the Times-Picay
! une Publishing company, and
Mrs. Nicholson.
Reds Will Publish
Papers Showing
U. S. Started War
(By Eddy Gilmore)
MOSCOW, (iP) — The Russians
promised yesterday to publish se
cret German documents which
they said would prove their charg
es that the western allies paved
the way for World War II.
The Soviet information bureau
charged last night that the United
States, Britain and France had, in
their relations with Germany, pro
vided Adolf Hitler with the
strength to launch the second
world war.
The Russians said it was done
by “a golden rain of American
dollars” and by French and Brit
ish diplomacy.
The Russian statement was in
reply to the U. S. state depart
ment’s publication Jan. 21 .of 260
documents captured from the
Nazis dealing with Russian-Ger
man relations prior to World War
II.
Russia said its charges were
supported by ‘‘important docu
ments which were captured by
Soviet troops during the smash-up
of Hitlerite Germany.”
