(Master SOVIET BLUDGEON POISED Russia Aims To Smash Resistance Of Weaker Nations. Acheson Says DALLAS, Tex., June 14. (API Secretary of State Acheson last night, in an addrett here, accused Russia of holding a "poised bludgeon" over weaker nations. He declared the Russians are using Communist plotting in other countries and their military preparations to break down the resistance of non-Soviet nations. Former Gl Again Escapes Prison - MUNICH, Germany, June 14 VP) Homer Cook, husky former GI boxer from Muskogee, Okla., whose love for a fraulein landed him in U.S. army jail here, was still at large today after hie third break for freedom. ' Hundreds of U.S. constabulary military police and more than 1,000 German police manned road blocks and thrashed through forests around Munich throughout the night. They couldn't find the 26-year-old former soldier, who was to have gone on trial before an American military court next week on IS charges. They include illegal entry into Germany, attempted armed rob bery, resisting arrest, excaping jail twice before and posing as an American agent. Anni Storer, the 23-year-old frau lein for whom Cook stowed away in an army transport so he could get back to Germany, isn't sure about her love for him now. "Maybe it's true he's a bad man," she said. In the Day's News , By FRANK JENKINS I SUPPOSE that like everybody else you've been reading about this Amerasia magazine business and I rather imagine that (also like everybody else) you've been wondering what the heck it's all about. j. Well, it's something like this: Amerasia was one of these slick paper international politics sheets that those of us who don't wear striped pants seldom read. In the final months of the war it fell under suspicion of our Office of Strategic Services, which was our top-flight espionage and counter-espionage outfit. To make a long story short, the OSS boys raided the New York office of Amerasia and found there SOME 900 SECRET DOCUMENTS THAT HAD BEEN FILCHED FROM THE FILES OF OUR STATE DEPARTMENT. Some of them were "top drawer" secrets, which is a sort of diplomatic term for super-duper hot stuff. Not only that. The oss men were convinced by what they found that the burglary of the Stale department was an INSIDE JOB.

He added: I do not believe this creates an immediate danger ot war, but it it being used as a poised bludg eon to intimidate the weak, and it does confront the world with the possibility that the Soviet leaders, when ever they feel that they are strong enough, may be tempted to make use of military force as as instrument of their policy." How to meet the challenge of Soviet pressure? "Well, there are several ways we could go about meeting these problems," he said. "One way would be to pull down the blinds and sit in the parlor with a loaded shotgun, waiting. I think, however, that most of us have learned that isolationism is not a realistic course of action. It does not work and it is not cheap. "The policy of appeasement, of Soviet ambitions, which might con ceivably be another course ot ac- tion open to us . . . would en courage Soviet aggression. It would lead to a final struggle for survival in which both our moral position and our military position would have been seriously weak ened. "There is a third course of ac tion which might be considered in earlier times and by another type of government and people than ours. That is. we should drop some atomic bombs on the Soviet Union. This course is sometimes called by the euphemistic phrase of "preventive war." All respon sible men must agree that such a course is unthinkable for us. "Fortunately, there is a fourth way of dealing with these prob lems, and that is to work on them in cooperation with other nations. ana Dy means ot peaceful nego tiations to resolve our differences. This has been and is our policy Pair Escape Death In Crash Of-Airplane LORAIN, O., June 14 (fO John T. Gibbs. 41. of Los Angeles.

June 14 4JP An elderly woman, armed with a parasol and determination, won a fight against a utility con struction company yesterday. She did it by staging a sitdown strike. The construction company, in stalling a new street lighting sys tem, dug a hole for a power pole in front of Mrs. Olive Poff's apart ment house. Before workmen could put up the pole, out of the building popped Mrs. Poff. She said the light would shine in the windows and disturb her and other tenants. Then the 83-year-old woman sat down at the edge of the hole, opened her para sol and waited for the company's next move. An hour later the company con ceded defeat and filled in the hole. Mrs. Poff folded her parasol and went back into her house. The pole was installed 75 feet away from Mrs. Poff's place.

June 14 (, House passage of a rent control bill bounced it back to the Senate today and the threat of a new filibuster there. ' Changes which were voted late yesterday by the House as it passed the bill, 202 to 163, make it necessary for the Senate to take another look, and Senator Cain (R-Wash) who led a filibuster last week before the Senate passed the bill, indicated that he wants a good, long look. He might want to start another filibuster which conceivably could prolong final action beyond June 30, when the present rent control act expires. The House-voted changes are relatively minor. The Senate voted for a one-year extension of the federal control program, with the last six months of control, affecting only tiiose communities that request continu ance from next January 31 to June 30. The House decided to make the general extension until next Jan uary 31 seven months with com munities having the option of keep ing controls for an additional five months instead of six. Legislatures Considered Another change made by the House would give the unmcorpor- ated areas of counties the right to remove controls after a public hearing. That option already be longs to states and incorporated communities. - The reasonine behind the House decision to extend the controls generally until January 31 was that state legislatures, many of them meeting in January, would have a chance to enact local laws before the federal statute expires. And Congress would have a month in 19S1 in which to take another look at the rental housing picture. Both the Senate and the House bills affect an estimated 8,000,000 rented dwellings, or about half those that were under controls in 1946. Recent changes in the orig inal law provided for gradual de control. House Republicans, like Cain, argued that there no longer is any need for controls. They tried to kill the bill by sending it back to committee but lost by a vote of 226 to 143.

Parley Asked n Midst Of lew Violence 14 Pickets Arrested Afttr Blocking Roads, Dumping Milk Cargoes PITTSBURGH, June 14.- Sixty-eight struck milk companies carried their appeal for arbitra tion to tne public today amid new violence in the six-day-old dairy workers strike which has shut off lmost all deliveries in a seven- county area, The- Greater Pittsburgh Milk Dealers association inserted ads in strike-area newspapers which listed the issues and urged the AFL Dairy Workers union to accept ar bitration. Negotiations are at a standstill. Union and company met for ten minutes last night, then recessed until this afternoon. A carload of pickets escaped po lice after hurling a beer bottle into a second plate glass window of a dairy bar in suburban Knox ville. In Westmoreland county, In southwestern Pennsylvania, 14 milk strike pickets have been arrested. They are charged with contempt ot a court order banning inter ference with dairy operations. They were arrested by sheriff s deputies and state police after a wave ot incidents which saw roads blocked, drivers threatened and milk cargoes dumped. Now Kept Orderly Mate police patrols now appear to be keeping pickets orderly throughout the affected counties ot Allegheny, Beaver, Washington, Fayette, Butler, Lawrence and Greene. The union wants a 40-hour week with 48 hours pay. They also want the daily guarantee raised from $10 to $13.50. The dealers offered $11 and arbitration of all differences. They claim the drivers now average $300 or more a month. A lot of dairymen producers. caught in the middle, were selling raw milk for 50 cents a gallon to all comers.. What wasn t sold was fed te livestock or thrown away. A similar strike by the aame union has shut off the milk supply in the nation s capital. Milk drivers in Washington walked out three days ago. No progress is reported toward a settlement there, either. 2 Men File For School Director Names ot two persons who have filed for the city school board va cancy will be submitted to Rose-, burg school district 4 voters June 19. - Petitions have been submitted and acceptances filed by A.
