Thm OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Ovqan. Friday Morning. Jnn 12, 1942 FAGE TWO Second Front Put on Plan Visit of Molotov to Sign Agreements Is Revealed (Continued From Page 1) signed Thursday a mutual aid agreement providing tor reciprocal assistance In the winning of the war and for cooperation In prae Mrai measures to "create a bet ter world hereafter." The latter agreement is similar In all essential respects to the lend-lease agreement signed on February 23 with Great Britain and on June. 2 with China. Final determination of the terms of US Bid to Russia, and "of the benefits to be received by the United States in return" Is to be de layed until the "extent of the de fense aid is known." "The agreement." the state department said, "reaffirms this country's determination to con tinue to supply In ever-Increasing amounts aid to the soviet anion In the war against the common enemy. The agreement also provides for such recipro cal aid as the union may be in a position to supply. "But no matter how great this aid may prove to be, it will be small in comparison with the magnificent contribution of the ioviet union's armed forces to the defeat of the common enemy." In .announcing Molotov's visit to Washington, the White House Issued a statement saying: "In the course of the conver sations, full understanding was reached with regard to the urgent tasks of creating a second front In Europe in 1942. In addition, the measures for increasing and speeding up the supplies of planes, tanks and other kinds of war materials from the United States to the soviet union were discussed. Further were discussed the fundamental problems on co operation of the soviet union and the United States in safeguarding peace and security to the freedom loving peoples after the war." Both sides state with satisfac tion the unity of their views on all these questions. The language thus left de liberately open the Question of exactly what was the under standing reached as to a second front. There have been reports, however, that Russia was dis satisfied because no second European front had been es tablished, and the fact that an understanding had been reached with her was hailed enthusi astically by members of con gress. Chairman Connally (D-Tex.) of the senate foreign relations com mittee, calling It very helpful, said "Russia is our partner in this war a gallant partner, shedding her blood and spending her treas ure, and I approve of any prac tical cooperation with her." Anthony Eden, the British for eign minister, described his gov ernment's pact with the Soviets as directed "against Hitlerite Ger many." It contains no mention of Japan. To observers in this country, however, there seemed little rea son to doubt that Tokyo must view with foreboding this disclo sure of closer understanding be tween Moscow, Washington and London. The White House did not make known what officials accompanied Molotov here. Presumably, how ever, there were high representa tives of the red army and navy since it was announced that those participating in the conversations for the United States included Gen. George C. Marshall, the ar my chief of staff, and Admiral Ernest J. King, the chief of naval ftrwrntirna and mmmandfr in chief of the fleet. Other participants Included Maxim Utvinoff, the soviet am bassador; Harry Hopkins, the lease-lend administrator, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull.

Both opposing armies in the Ukraine were reported strong despite the losses of the bitter fighting in May. From Sevsstapol, a thorn In the side of any German attempt to push from the Crimea to the Caucasus, Russian dispatches said the Germans were hurling whole divisions into repeated attacks which disregarded losses In a desperate attempt to capture the red fleet naval base. Red Star declared that the Rus sians, under almost incessant at tack for seven days, were holding on stubbornly in their original positions. Some hill top positions had been lost in earlier fighting, but the Russians said they were recaptured in see-saw combat Soviet dispatches acknowledged that the Germans had "tremen dous superiority of numbers" in the air battle over Sevastapol, but said Russian planes still were go ing up to battle and soviet ground defenses were holding up despite showers of bombs by the thou sands. Tass said Russian fliers defend ing Sevastapol shot down 29 planes and damaged IS others in the past few days, while anti aircraft gunners were credited with knocking down 20 more. The Russia reported destroy ing another 20 German planes in a raid on a German airfield back of the Sevastapol front. By The Associated Press The nasi enemy and his Ital ian accomplice were luckier Thursday in the Cirenalcan sands, for the Free French who had withstood a fury of attack on the mile-square plateau of Bir Hacheim, "well of wisdom," were withdrawn Wednesday night on British orders. Loss of the strong point removed the main southerly threat to the nasi supply line; it was a dis tressing reverse, but, in that trackless sea of sand, not a decisive one. While America's flying, fight ing men of Midway and Hawaii were telling of the victory over Japanese transport and war fleets, Japan's leading civilian naval ex pert, Masanori Ito, made a slip of the tongue in a broadcast in terview which must have dis tressed him later He told the Japanese they "should not be disappointed at the loss of. two aircraft carriers." The Japanese had admitted only the loss of one and heavy damage to a second. Actually, on the basis of US an nouncements, three enemy car riers probably were destroyed. In eastern China the forces of Free China still held the walled city of Chuhsien, main Japanese object at present in their offensive aimed at getting control of all the railways. Moreover, regular and guerrilla forces of Chiang Kai Shek were menacing the advanced enemy position in western Cheki ang with repeated attacks behind the Japanese forward lines which are thrown around Chuhsien. House Passes WPA Money $336,000,000 Said Provision for 400,000 (Continued from Page 1) said that unemployment had been greatly decreased as a result of the war stimulus to industry. As finally passed, the meas ure carried $280,000,000 in di rect appropriations, plus re appropriations of $56,000,000 left unexpended from last year's allocations. The appropriations committee has estimated that It would provide for an average of 400,000 persons a month on WPA, starting July 1. The republican minority, with about 15 exceptions, voted almost as a solid bloc in favor of the reduction proposed by Taber, and was joined by between 30 and 40 democrats. The house also rejected, 106 to 87, an attempt by Rep. Hare (R- SC), to prevent the WPA from carrying on educational, cultural, recreational and industrial train ing projects for the fiscal year beginning July 1. By standing vote of 91 to 88, the house then turned thumbs down on a motion by Rep. Wiggles- worth (R-Mass) to hold the agen cy's funds down to $100,000,000 for the balance of 1942, rather than give it $280,000,000 lor the next 12 months.

Military Pay Boost Passes Senate Sends Measure To President; More Than Doubles Pay WASHINGTON, June U-(ff) Congress dispatched to the presi dent Thursday the military pay adjustment bill which would raise the minimum pay of soldiers, sailors, marines and coast-guardsmen from $21 to $50 a month. Congressional action on the measure was completed when the senate approved by a vote of 69 to 0 the scale favored by the house. The $50 base rate had been as sured Monday when the senate on the motion of Senator LaFollette (Prog-Wis) rejected a suggested compromise of $46 a month. The bill would raise the salaries of all members of the armed ser vices up to and including second lieutenants and ensigns. Officers of higher rank would get in creased rental and subsistence al lowances. If President Roosevelt approves the legislation, the new rates' will become effective as of June 1. The present scale for seventh grade enlisted men, which takes in buck privates, is $21 a month for the first four months, after which it is advanced to $30. Thus the new scale would mean a $29 increase for fresh recruits. New base wages for the other grades would be: Sixth grade (private first-class, second-class seamen, etc.) $54. Fifth grade (corporal, first-class seamen, etc.) $66. Fourth grade (sergeant third class petty officers, etc.) $78. Third grade (staff sergeant second-class petty officers, etc.) $96. Second grade (first sergeant, technical sergeant, firs t-class petty officers, etc.) $114. First grade enlisted men (mas ter sergeant mates and chief petty officers) $138. Second lieutenants who now receive $1500 a year would be in creased to $1800. 2500 Pilots A Month Set Navy to Increase Rate Of Training From Recent 600 (Continued From Page 1) high overall level production in the case of many individual types of aircraft far above the most sanguine expectations en tertained at the inception of the program.' Vinson paid tribute to the valor and efficiency of the naval avia tion forces, as demonstrated in the engagement in the Coral sea and at Midway island. "For years," he said, "the house naval affairs committee has fav ored the utmost development of the navy's aviation forces both afloat and ashore, and it is evi dent that this confidence has been well justified.' He declared that the test of battle offered the true measure of the efficiency of men, methods and machines, and added: "Our naval pilots have met this test not only with unsurpassed gallantry, but with the precision that is acquired only by repeated practice ' during long months of training.!'

Britain and Russia Promise Mutual Assistance; Former Premier Praises Results By DREW MIDDLETON LONDON, June 11 JPh Britain and Soviet Russia have made an historic pledge to keep an armed peace against-Germany after the nazis are beaten in this war and have renounced territorial greed or meddling in the internal affairs of other na tions, the government announced Thursday. - . Disclosing the terms of a solemn treaty designed to last for at least 20 years, the British for eign secretary, Anthony Eden, told the house of commons the story of last month's trip to Lon don and Washington by Vyache alav Molotov, and of the conver sations which in both capitals resulted in a "full understand ing" on "the urgent tasks of creat ing a second front in Europe in 1942." Russia, is was understood, made a major concession under the persuasion of the United States ambassador, John G. Winant She agreed not to press her earUer demand for a guar antee of her pre-war Baltic frontiers. The parties promised: 1. "To afford one another mili tary and other assistance and support of all kinds in the war against Germany and all those states which are associated with her in acts of aggression in Eu rope." 2. To enter no negotiations with a "Hitlerite government or any other government in Germany that does not clearly renounce all aggressive intentions, and to make no separate peace whatso ever with Germany or her allies. 3. After the war, to "take all measures in their power to ren der impossible the repetition of arrression and violation of peace by Germany or any of the states associated with her in acts of arrression in Europe;" to give each other full military support in the event Germany resumes the fight after the war. 4. "To work together in close and friendly collaboration after the reestablishment of peace for the organization of security and economic . prosperity in Europe They will take into account the interests of the United Nations in these objects and they will act in accordance with two principles Of not seeking territorial aggran dizement for themselves, and of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states." 5. To give each other all pos sible economic assistance after the war and to Join no coalition di rected at one or the other of the signatories. A foreign office communique, read to the house of commons by Eden, contained the reference to a second front. For obvious rea sons, there was no elaboration. Japan nowhere was men tioned in the treaty - because first she is not at war with Russia, and secondly, Russia, fully involved in a fight for life on her European frontier, is loath to give Japan cause for war. It was clear, however, that plans were laid for pounding nazi Germany into submission between two fighting fronts, probably within a year. Solid assurance that both the United States and Brit ain plan to open, at the right time, a European front and relieve the nazi pressure on Russia was given in the talks between Molotov and the British and American chiefs of staff. The Anglo-Russian treaty, em bracing more than five-twelfths of the world's surface and nearly 700,000,000 of its people, marks the emergence of the Soviet Un ion from isolationism and in its final form represented a sacrifice by Russia in the interests of in ternational harmony. Both in parliament and in the chancelleries of the exiled United Nations, the terms of the pact re ceived outspoken approval. While the house of commons still was cheering Eden, white maned David Lloyd George, the premier of World War One, rose to his feet and said in the respect ful hush that followed: "As one who labored over 20 years age to establish geod un derstanding between Soviet V 2-Piece 100 Virgin Wool Tropical I7orxied$ 3-Piece Suit from $32.50 Up See the complete line.

I felici tate the prime minister and the foreign secretary and the gov ernment apoa the accomplish ment of this treaty. Had It been a fact some years ago, many grave blunders would have been avoided and not only that, but this war never would have oc curred.' (The reference obviously was to the fateful days of August 1939, when the Chamberlain govern ment and the Russians negotiated in an atmosphere of mutual sus picion before the Soviet Union abruptly signed with Germany, the non-aggression pact which precipitated the nazi invasion of Poland.) A United Nations spokesman said the present treaty "guaran tees the war not only will be won, but the post-war peace as well." G. A.
