1 Th's Stat Salem.' Oregon. Thursday. April if; 1952 Rebuttal' by Byrnes Says Truman NPlayed Into Russia's Hands' WASHINGTON (JP) James F. Byrnes made a blistering attack on President Truman Thursday accusing him of writing history to suit himself and of playing into Russian hands with a "wrong state ment about the Polish-German boundary. Byrnes, former secretary of state under Truman and now gover no of South Carolina, spoke out in a Colliers Magazine article. . The article was prompted by Army Battles Cold in Yukon Ghost Town SILVER CITY, Y. T. (JP-U got so cold even the beer froze. But the men were so healthy few even had common colds. The dentist had so little to do he spent his time filling a set of hollow cffsmen which were too light and kept falling over. The phantoms, too, have been chased from this ghost town where BO years ago miners moiled for gold. But they'll be back in July. All this happened during Oper ation "Eager Beaver," which reached the halfway mark Wednesday. It means the worst is over for 450 Canadian and United States Army soldiers. They came to Silver City, 150 miles north of Whitehorse, in Jan uary to build an airstrip and test equipment against the Arctic winter. In July, when the exercise is completed and reports have been sifted fer their last useful bit of Information, the Army will pull up stakes and allow the ghosts to drift back to Silver City. TVUstlnt Keck The troops, under command of Maj. E. D. Taylor of Vancouver and Lt.-Col. H. D. Brown of the U. S. Army, are tearing and blast ing hundreds of tons of muskeg, rock and perma-frost to build the airstrip which may never be used and test themselves and their equipment under the worst possi ble winter conditions. Maj. Taylor says he and his men Jwkve had "several minor prob lems" to contend with, such as: 46 - below - zero temperatures when oil on tractors and bulldozers became as thick as glue, heaters broke down, and the men had to work 24 -hour shifts for two weeks to determine how they and their machinery could stand up under pressure. Tests Equipment The exercise involves for the most part testing of new and classified" equipment. If it will work here, it will work anywhere, the Army reasons. Some modifica tions are made on the spot. Some times something designated for one job Is found more useful in another. Soowshoes hang beside each bunk in the huts. Near the spot where miners grubbed in the ground for gold, Canadians and Americans have pounded out a volleyball court in the frozen ground. Action Starts, Handball Meet First-round action was run off Tuesday in the Class A City Hand ball Tourney at the YMCA, with defending champion Lee Shinn, Chet O'Brien, Norm Winslow and Don Duncan emerging with wins. Shinn topped Bob Anderson, O'Brien downed Bob Smith. Winslow beat Roth Holtz and Duncan got a default win over Gus Moore. The semi - finals put Shinn against O'Brien and Winslow against Duncan. The semis must be played by Thursday night with -finals set for Friday. In the consolation bracket, An dersen meets Smith and Holt battles Moore. 2-7629 NOW SHOWING Oeea 6:43 - Start 7:15 Richard Wldmark "red skies Or MONTANA" la Technlcoier! e MKxi Garner Dennis Day "GOLDEN GIRL" la Technicolor! ia ealr aema-ewaea New fAewing Open f:U 2K U TtCHNICOlOt "JOUKNET INTO LIGHT Sterling- Harden. Vlvecs Lindfora U 1 publication in the recent book "Mr. Truman" of a letter which the President said he had read to Byrnes, bawling him out after the Moscow conference of December, 1945. The letter depicted Truman de manding a tough policy toward Russia from Byrnes, of insisting that Byrnes let him make foreign policy and of calling for an "iron fist" to hold Soviet ambitions in check. Byrnes previously had denied, when the, book was published, that Truman had ever read any such stinging rebuke to him. He had declared his intention to answer the President in detail and the magazine article is the result. Written for Record "The evidence is impressive,' Byrnes said, "that the document was written by the President and formally signed by him, to record himself favorably." Byrnes noted that the book said Truman sometimes wrote letters he never sent and declared that the letter published as being ad dressed to him was never "read to me or sent to me" although a presidential notation said that it was read by the President to Byrnes. The statesman which Byrnes charges plays into Russian hands was one of those in the letter, referring to the Big Three meeting at Potsdam in the summer of 194S. Accomplished Fact The letter read: "At Potsdam we were faced with an accomplished fact and were by circumstances almost forced to agree to Russian occupation of Eastern Poland and the occupation of that part of Germany east of the Oder River by Poland." The circumstances, according to trie President, were that "we were anxious" for Russian entry into the war against Japan. Byrnes asserted he was not an xious for this, and he thought the President shared his view at Pots dam. He said he had advised the Chi nese Nationalist government not to make any concessions to the Rus sians beyond those previously made at the Yalta conference by the Western Powers in order to interest Russia in fighting Japan. 'Furthermore, Byrnes said the President "is wrong" about hav ing agreed to the territorial chang es, or boundary lines, involving Russia, Poland and Germany. "We did not reach such an agree ment, " Byrnes declared. "At Stutt gart in a speech I made with the approval of the President I told the German people there was no such agreement. It is unfortunate at this time that Mr. Truman should make this statement. The Soviets will welcome It." Claude E. Ingalls Plaque Established CORVALLIS JF)-A memorial to Claude E.

Engineer R. H. Baldock of the State Highway Commission said Wednesday. Baldock said the proposed ap- ? roach is in Southwest Portland, t would be Intended to relieve Barbur Boulevard of congestion. At present Highway 98-W enters the city via Barbur. The new rpad would start at the point where the Wilsonville road now connects with 99-W, southwest of Portland.
