LEASED WIRE WORLD NEWS COVERAGE Volume LVIII Plan For Direct Russian Talks. Receives Veto Marshall Says Soviets Must Work Through UN; U. S. Guards Comment Washington, May 12 IW - Secretary of state George C. Mar shall, today rejected all sugges tions that the United States and the soviet union enter Into nego tiations on major international R luroblems affecting other coun tries. . ' Marshall denied that U. S. am- ambassador Walter Bedell Smith had asked lor "any general discus sion" with the Russians. "What we want Is.action in the tolds where action is possible and urgently necessary," he said in a statement to a news conference. He said he referred to such ex isting international machinery as the .UN security council, other ITTnitpri Nations bodies, and the al- I filed control council in Berlin. First Direct Comment ' Marshall's statement was his first direct comment on the soviet union's announcement that it was ready to enter negotiations with the United States. Marshall re-emphasized, in re sponse to Questions, that the tUnited States has no intention whatsover of entering into bi lateral negotiations with Russia. He said the u. s. is loomng tor some demonstration by the soviet union of its intention to break some of the existing stalemates, in international relations. Policy Unchanged Like President Truman yester day, Marshall insisted that the recent conversations between Smith and Soviet foreign minis ter V. M. Molotov which touched off the idea of U. S.-Rus- sian "peace" talks, did not change in any way the foreign policy of the United States otHs attitude toward the soviet union. Marshall said Smith's original confidential interview with Molo- r f iuv was ueaigjieu iu uiamiguiaii , lifor the soviet government be E Iween U. S. domestic political Fampaign statements and definite U. S. government policy toward the soviet union. Recalls Experience "General Smith did not ask for any general discussion or nego tiation," Marshall's statement said, we nave had a long and bitter experience with such ef forts." Both the White House and the state department guardedly avoided any comment on this par ticular issue during the first 24 hours after the Russian broad cast, despite the obvious confu sion that it caused. In the course of the day even congressional reaction took a de cidedly different slant. Initial en thusiasm that the two "warring" giants might again sit down to gether and try to solve their prob lems changed rapidly to suspi cion of soviet motives after Presi dent Truman's chilly statement asserting that there 'was no change in U. S. policy toward Russia.

Bond Purchases , Lag In County Purchases of security bonds in Oregon in connection with the campaign recently opened are definitely lagging, according to Information received by A. L. O. Sehueler, Deschutes county bond chairman, from George W. Mlm naugh, deputy director for Ore gon. In only a few of the Ore gon counties Is the campaign making good headway. Gilliam , Is leading all Oregon counties with 46 per cent of its quota al ready purchased. Curry Is in sec ond place, with 34 per cent pur- -chased. . Up to May 1, Deschutes county residents had purchased only 20 per cent of the assigned quota. In the week from April 26 to May 1, Deschutes county purchases ag gregated a mere $12,130, all in "E" bonds, and the county's cu mulative total on May 1 was $62,008. Deschutes county's quota in the Security bond drive Is $300,000. Of this total, the quota for "E" bond Is $190,000 and for "F" and "G" bonds, $110,000. after the Justice department got a federal court- order forbidding the strike. The union leaders emphasized that while the government's ac tions had kept the trains running, they had not settled the dispute over wages and working condi tions. They said their demands re main the same as before and that the army will have to run the rail toads until the unions get a "de cert settlement" from either the railroads or the government. The unions are asking a 30 per rent pay raise and 25 changes in working rules. The rules, most of which would mean more money for the rail workers, cover overtime pay, night differentials, premium pay for Sunday and holiday work and numerous other working conditions. The railroads have offered some -changes In working condi tions and a 15'4-cent hourly pay boost. uon yesterday.
