Marshall Serves
Notice On Russia
WASHINGTON, <JFh-Secretary
of state Marshall served notice
yesterday that the United States
will look on further Russian re
fusal to cooperate in the Allied
control council for Germany as
“aimed against the unification of
Germany.”
He did this with a new confer
ence statement which also:
Threw the full weight of Amer
ican prestige behind General Lu
cius D. Clay’s fight to keep Allied
machinery in Germany running
and behind Clay’s determination
to remain in Berlin.
End orsed completely Clay’s
“Stop Russia” political policy
which denies the Russian-spon
sored German Peoples Congress
the right to operate in the Ameri
can zone of Germany.
Marshall said the Communist
backed Peoples Congress "has no
legitimate claim to represent the
people as a whole and it is practic
ing a cruel deception on the Ger
man people in seeking to impose
itself as a substitute for genuine
unity.”
Marshall is leaving for the In
ter-American meeting at Bogota,
Colombia, this week end. He made
it clear that he will hold himself in
readiness to fly back to Washing
ton if the world situation requires.

ROTARY MEMBERS
GET BIG SURPRISE f
—
Rotary Club members were
surprised yesterday noon by being
greeted at their regular luncheon
meeting by the Rotary*Anns who
took over the meeting and handled
it as they thought a Rotary meet
ing should be conducted.
As an added surprise each mem
ber was presented with an original
Easter bonnet which was worn
through the luncheon. Presiding
was Mrs. John McNees with Mrs.
Stan Morgan as program commit
tee and Mrs. Paul Mandeville as
Sgt. at Arms.
Guests were Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Roust, Donald Lyle and Miss Ger
trude Wetzel.
Miss Wetzel, Hospital Supervis
or of the Territorial Health Dept.,
explained that the Public Health
Department had at its disposal
about $40,000 to be used for the
construction of a hospital in
Alaska, and stated that Nome, Val
dez, and Palmer, had first priori
ties for same if and when the first
of the three meet the necessary
conditions.
She also explained that the sum
was Alaska’s allotment of $75,
000,000.00 which was appropriated
last year by Congress for con
struction of hospitals and it was
allotted on a population basis,
making the Alaska share very
small. She also reported that Dele
gate Bartlett now has a bill before
Congress to increase Alaska’s
share to $250,000.00.
Miss Wetzel told of another fund
which should be made available to
Nome, and that is a hospital fund
set up by the last Territorial Leg
islature which is about $125,000.
The fund has been frozen and can
only be obtained through the gov
ernor and the administrative
board whom she felt should aid at
this time.

a lot quicker than the one who
lies down.

Truman Confident
Of Dem. Victory
WASHINGTON, (A3)—President
Truman said yesterday he is not
disturbed by what a reporter de
scribed as the “rising revolt”
against his nomination this year.
Mr. Truman told a news confer
ence he was correctly reported by
Senator Hatch <D.-N. M.\ who said
a few days ago the President was
in the fight to a finish.
Moreover, Mr. Truman predict
ed that the Democrats will win in
November. He said that was a
prophesy.
As to those who have walked
out (of the administration camp),
he suggested to reporters that they
wait and see whether they will
walk back.
*He added let’s give them until
November, he will feive them a
chance to walk back.
Son—Pa what is the difference
between a cat and a comma?
Pa—I don’t know, what is it?
Son—A cat has claws at the end
of its paws, and a comma is a
pause at the end of a clause.
