Russians Ignore Request
To Discuss Lend-Lease
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6—(AP) A
personal appeal by Ambassador W.
Bedell Smith in Moscow to Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov for nego
tiations to settle Russia’s $11,260,
000,000 lend-lease account has
brought no result, the senate ap
propriations committee learned to
day.
Senators said Chester T. Lane,
lend-lease administrator, reported
the failure of Smith’s appeal and of
earlier notes asking the Soviets to
discuss a settlement.
W. W. Smith, chairman of the
maritime commission, told a house
merchant marine subcommittee at
the same time that the Soviets have
ignored since last March 18 Amer
ican efforts to get them to return
95 lend-lease ships. The group asked
the state department for the corre
spondence.
Lane and Willard Throp, assist
ant secretary of state for economic
affairs, appeared before the appro
priations group to ask congression
al approval of a plan by which $25,
094,925 in equipment in storage or
on order in this country could be
shipped to Russia.
William L. Clayton, undersecre
tary for economic affairs, explained
in a letter that the Soviets put up
the cash when President Truman
ended lend-lease in September,
1945.

Colonel Views
*200,000 Lot
As ‘Souvenirs’
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6—
(AP)—An army colonel with an
excellent record in both world
wars declared today that $200,000
worth of diamonds, emeralds, a
big ruby and pieces of jade he ac
quired in Tokyo last winter were
souvenirs.
The officer, 55-year-old Col.
Edward J. Murray of Palo Alto,
California, had been in charge of
vaults in the Bank of Japan
where gold, diamonds and other
valuables have been stored dur
ing the occupation.
In an unusual interview at Fort
Mason, Murray said the dazzling
collection of jewelry had not come
from the bank’s vaults, but added
with tight lips: “I’m not telling
anybody where they came from.
There is a reason.”
He talked freely after learning
General MacArthur had ordered
him placed under technical arrest.
“Jewels and precious metals
were found an over Japan,” he
said. They were hidden and tucked
away in warehouses and many
other places. Whoever had valu
ables just took off with them
when they learned we were com
ing, and buried them.”
He said service personnel had
found many valuables.
“Just like a big Easter egg
hunt?” someone asked.
“Well, yes,” the colonel replied.
