Moscow Claims
Bevin’s Address
Bloc Smokescreen
LONDON, <;P)—1The first Sov
iet pronouncement on the British
proposal for a west European al
liance is that the apparent air is
to get agreement on a western
German state.
The proposal was made by Brit
ish foreign secretary Ernest Bevin
in the House of Commons Thurs
day. It wa ssupported by Winston
Churchill, opposition leader, in
further debate Friday.
Tass, official Soviet News agen
cy, said in a Paris dispatch Friday
night the object of the plan appar
ently” was to win the support of
France, Belgium, The Nether
lands, and Luxembourg “for the
creation of a western German
state.” Bevin had invited these
nations to join the alliance.
Tass said Saturday in a London
dispatch that Bevin’s speech “was
meant as a smokescreen for the
creation of the so-called western
bloc, the formation of which has
already been started by Britain
and France through negotiations
with Belgium, The Netherlands,

Materiel Command
Making Research
_
MOBILE, Ala., (/P) — Gen. Jo
seph T. McNarney said last night
the air materiel command which
he heads was carrying on “con
siderable research” at bases in
Alaska into air operations in sub
zero weather.
“Because of the growing im
portance of the Arctic regions we
must have aircraft and equipment
, capable of operating in sub-zero
weather,” the commanding gen
eral of the AMC said in a speech
delivered before the Mobile
chamber of commerce.
“World War II taught us that
our air force equipment must be
capable of global operations. Ex
perience has shown us that heat
and cold can become so important
that they mean the difference be
tween victory and defeat. . . .
“A great many cold weather
problems are still unsolved. It is
up to the air materiel command to
find the answers.”
and Luxembourg.” The Moscow
radio broadcast this report to Rus
sian listeners in its first mention
i of the Bevin address.
GOP Uncertain In
Amount To Cut
Truman Budget
WASHINGTON, </P)— Republi
can Senators indicated today that
three billion dollars may be the
top amount they are willing to
promise to cut out of President
Truman’s $39,669,000,000 budget.
Chairman Taft of Ohio called
the Senate’s GOP policy commit
tee into session to consider the
question.
Taft has said he thinks three
billion can be lopped off proposed
government expenditures for the
fiscal year beginning July 1. But
chairman Bridges (R.-N. H.) of the
Senate appropriations committee
is represented by friends as reluc
tant to go along with a pledge of
even that amount because he fears
Congress may not be able to hold
to such a goal when the time
comes for voting the money.
Some House leaders, including
chairman Taber (R.-N. Y.) of the
appropriations committee, have
called for a five billion dollar
slash. Bridges, however, is said to
feel this total could be reached
only by chopping deeply into
funds proposed for the economic
recovery program.
Stassen Tells j
“Falsehoods” Says
Edwin Pauley
WASHINGTON (/P)—Edwin W.
Pauley leveled a finger at Harold
E. Stassen at a Senate hearing
Saturday and accused him of
“falsehoods.”
Stassen told a Senate appropri
ations subcommittee inquiring in
to Pauley’s trading that Pauley
took advantage of an “off the
cuff” talk by Anderson on Sept.
19 in which Anderson said that
grain prices were not realistic.
“These statements, which of
course were not correct, caused a
temporary drop in grain prices,” I
Stassen said.
He made the statement only a1
few minutes after Pauley pointed
a finger at Stassen and demanded
that the Republican Presidential
aspirant be required to confront
him “right here( face to face, on
the falsehoods he has told about
me.”
Since last September, Pauley
has been a special assistant to sec
retary of the army Royall. He has
acknowledged making nearly a
million dollars profits by specula
tion on commodities in the last

The Senate committee called

Stassen directly. It will allow him
to submit in writing later ques
