Marshall Report Stalin Sees Possible Meeting On Issues Now Splitting Allies WASHINGTON, April 28 (AP)—Premier Stalin told Sec retary Marshall that compromises are possible on the great issues splitting the wartime allies, Marshall revealed Monday night. But the American secretary of state, just back from the Moscow conference which bogged down in disagreement on all main points, warned in a radio report to the nation that the fate of Europe cannot wait on “compromise through exhaustion.” Speed Asked “Disintegrating forces are be coming evident,” he said. “The patient is sinking while the doctors deliberate.” Without becoming specific, ' he said: “Whatever action is possible to meet these pressing problems must be taken without delay.” The American secretary de clared Russia’s {proposals for a centralized German government and heavy reparations would have resulted “in a deteriorating eco nomic life in Germany and Europe and the inevitable emergence of dictatorship and strife.” Makes Propaganda Charge He also accused the Soviets of “propaganda appeals to passion and prejudice.” He said charges were made “which varied com pletely from the facts as under stood or as factually known by the American delegation.” But he said that some progress was made because differences were clarified, and “Future nego tiations can start with a know ledge of exactly what the issues are that must be settled.” — French Coalition Fights DeGaulle PARIS, April 28 (AP)—France’s coalition government Monday faced a shaky future on the eve of parliament’s return from a month’s holiday to tackle an array of dis puted questions on foreign and do mestic policy. Divided upon almost every other matter, the big three of Premier Ramadier’s cabinet—the Commun ists, Socialists and MRP—appeared united on only one point: opposition to General Charles De Gaulle and his newly-announced “Rally of the French people.” They see in De Gaulle’s move ment (R. P. F.) a disguised politi cal party which threatens to wean away many of their own members. The national committee of the MRP warned its members against joining De Gaulle’s R.P.F., saying it seemed to be organized as a “political par ty.” The Communists have spon sored “committees of vigilance” to oppose De Gaulle. Senators Ask Thoroughgoing Union Curbs WASHINGTON, April 28 (AP) —Senator Allen Ellender (D.,La.), seekingto halt a drive to toughen up the senate union-curbing bill, told his colleagues Monday that the measure as it stands will “remedy the most obnoxious evils.” But, as senate debate resumed, Senator Kenneth Wherry (R., Neb.) informed reporters a poll of senate Republicans indicated strong support for at least three or four amendments urged by Senators Robert Taft (R., Ohio) and Joseph Ball (R., Minn.). These would: 1. Prohibit unions from inter fering with workers in their choice of unions. Local Autonomy Featured 2. Forbid national unions to die- , tate contract terms to their locals. 3. Outlaw union-administered health and welfare funds. Wherry said indications are the going will be roughest on the fourth amendment, which would authorize private employers to petition for court injunctions to block jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts.

Oregon If Emerald ’ WORLD NEWS SECTION JIM BANKS, BERT MOORE, EDITORS Wallace May Take Third Party Step WASHINGTON, April 28 (AP) —Henry A. Wallace roared with laughter Monday at a suggestion that President Truman anticipates his support in 1948 and declared “It’s too early to say about that.” Asked whether he plans to join with Senator Claude Pepper (D., Fla.) to head a third party in the presidential election, he said that “We’ll make a rendezvous next March to see about that. I still hope the Democratic party will become the liberal party. If not, there will have to be some steps taken—no doubt about that.” And as to his own political ambi tions, if any, he said that "The only question of my running for office would be to benefit peace in the world, and if it would do that I would run as hard as I could.” U.S. 'Weakness' Told by General WASHINGTON .April 28 (AP) —Lt. Gen. J. Lawton Collins told the U. S. chamber of commerce’s 35th annual convention Monday that American armed forces have become “terribly weak” at a time when "Other nations are capable of attacking us.” “We have ten divisions in the army today,” he said. "Russia today is capable of putting 200 divisions in the field. Russia’s satellites in Europe could put another 100 divi sions in the field. “We cannot man 4000 aircraft today. The Russians have over 10,000.’’ Only 5 of the original cherubims in the New York cast of “The Green Pastures” remained small enough to last the first five years of pro duction. f WE SPECIALIZE IN INSIDE JOBS!
