HICHTOWER WASHINGTON, March S ' The United States toduv pallor for an "open door" policy In Manchuriu simultaneously with disclosure of a Ru.-ciian proposal for Joint Sovii-t-Chlni-sc control of major Industries there. Secretary of Stato Byrnes maoo Known this government altitude by releasing a nolo which ho sent to both Chung king and Moscow February I). In this, he expressed concern about the possible establishment 01 exclusive Soviet-Chinese con trol over Manchurian enter prises. . Such a policy, Byrnes wrote, would be "contrary to the prin ciple of the open door" and would constitute clear discrimi nation ogulnrit Americans who wanted to Join In Manchuria's industrial development. Joint Control Sought Along with releasing this com munication, Byrnes disclosed the Chinese foreign office note had informed him of the Russian Dro pout) I for Joint Soviet-Chinese control of specified coal mines, power plants, and other Man churian Industries. China re jected this proposition. nynics said tnc united states would send a message to Mos cow on the Manchurian situation. Preliminary signs Indicated the American position would be in support of tho Chinese govern-n.ent. Manchuria Is ono of the major trouble spots In Russian-Amer ican relations, tamer at a news conference, Byrnes said Gen. Douglas MacArthur's authority as supreme commander at Tokyo extends to tho Manchurian area. Soybeans Gone From Manchuria WASHINGTON.

Anderson did not cloborato on this reference and added that the reports still must be verified. He snld If they are proven true, tho result would bo a setback to ef forts to prevent widespread fam ine In Asia and Europe. Russia has occupation troops in Manchuria and Chinese sources and newsmen have re- Cortcd that tho Russians have oen removing industrial ma chinery.

Shops will continue to render emergency, plumbing service to their customers during the work stoppage, shop managers stated, and a U. S. conciliator from San Francisco has been called in to help settle tho dispute, which has survived settlement efforts. H was learned that journey man plumbers have refused to work at the wane rate establish ed by the war labor board. The wage rate establishment was $1,021 per hour. On August 27, 1945, the plumbers struck all shops in Klamath Falls for a wage in crease of 25 cents per hour. A representative of the U. S. con ciliation service sat in at joint meetings when master plumbers and representatives of Journey man plumbers reached an agree ment Dcndinif the approval of an application which had been sub mitted to the Doard lor an in crease In hourly wage. The men returned to work about Septem ber 4. Tho increase was never approved. The rate of pay for master plumbers Is $2.50 per hour. Klnmath Falls shops affected by the stoppage are, Davis Plumb ing. Waters company, Charles B. Leib Plumbine and Heating com pany, G. C. Motley Plumbing and Jicaling company, rriesen anu Wcllmnn, Patten and Overeen, and Star Plumbing company. Shoo managers today said they hoped an adjustment could be made without extended stoppage of plumbing service. Oregon Demos Lack Aspirant PORTLAND.

Orders On Walkout Reach Here March 11 Start Seen; GM, Phone Settle ments Sought Orders have been received by ran union officials here, as else Whoro 1hrnil0hnnf. Ihn nnllnn for a railroad strike set to start at B a. m. next Monday, March 11- The strike is expected to af fect the Southern Pacific and Great Northern, the two rail- roads serving this area. S. P. is slated to go out Mon day ana . . 24 hours later. A union official here said that official notice and instruc tions have been received, and unless something happens, the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will strike. From Detroit. Mich., where first word of the strike was re ported, it was stated that Al vanley Johnston, president of tne Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, have signed tho strike orders which have gone out to the workers. "Johnston, reached in Cleve land," said the Detroit News, "would neither confirm nor deny the strike report, but said a press conference has been called for Wednesday at which time 'an . important statement will be issued. " Settlements Sought Settlement of the long and costly General Motors strike and halting of a threatened na tionwide walkout of telephone workers were major items of business on the labor-front to day. ' The government was repre sented in conferences, in De troit and in Washington, aimed to end the disputes. In Detroit. negotiators were to meet as latest action by the CIO United Auto workers might bring a possible break in the 105-dav- old General Motors work stop page. The government intervened in the threatened telephone tie up over a wage dispute. Al though labor department offi cials expressed confidence pri vately the strike can be avert ed, union leaders went ahead with plans for some 250.000 members of the National Feder ation of Telephone Workers to leave their jobs at 3 a. m. (PST) Thursday. . The CIO United Auto Work ers' latest move was acceptance of a suggestion by General Mo tors that the" 175,000 strikers take part in a secret ballot on the question of ending the walkout but the union includ ed a provision. The union said it would agree to the GM proposal that rank and file workers vote whether they wish to return to their jobs under the company's latest 18 Mi -cent hourly wage increase offer, provided the ballot also included the alternative of sub mitting issues to a president appointed arbitrator. The union has held out for 19 cents an hour boost, which was recom mended by a fact-finding board. KRUG OK'D WASHINGTON. March 5 (P) The senate today confirmed Julius A.

He has been unemployed for years, they said. . On Monday the visitor entered the station and demanded money from Walker, accusing the young man of having poisoned him.

State police officers from Klamath Falls were called to Merrill to investigate but as far as was known here, officers did not benrd Harvey In his shaft. An insanity complaint was filed today against Harvey by Warren Walker. Harvey is said to have had a wife and two children at one time. He lives in the shaft which he calls "The Gold Mine."

Red Desire For Power viewed Officers Stiff Seek Clues In Tavern Killing, Robbery California state law enforce ment officers, aided by sheriff's officers from Klamath county, continued to question a number of tiersons in an effort to shed some light on the brutal slaying early Monday morning of Charles Twigg.

Police said today that no ar- rests had been made and no clues were - available which would shed suspicion on person or persons who bludgeoned the janitor to death and made off with two safes containing ap nroximatelv S10.000. Of that amount, $2000 was said to be in silver dollars. An autonsv was conducted at Whitlock's Funeral home here at 9:30 this morning by Dr. r . Trotman of Merrill who found that Twigg died as the result of a fractured skull. Dr. Troiman also revealed in oxamination that T w i R B re ceived contusions and abrasions of the right wrist, elbow and left- hand, multiple contusions ot ine scalp, and five perforating wounds on the scalp and fore head as well as lacerations of the nose. , . A blow over the left ear might have been caused by a hammer although officers did not ven ture an opinion on just exactly what instrument was used to deal the death blows. That TwiEB knew his assailant was the opinion of officers inves tigating the slaying. They were also convinced that the person involved knew the tavern, for merly the Roosevelt, both inside and out and that the robbery and murder were well planned. Both safes were examined vesterdav for clues. One safe. larger of the two, was found half way between the tavern and the Malin junction on the right hand side of the road going north on the Oregon side. The smaller was found a quarter of a mile south of El Rancho Tule on. the Alturas highway in California, also on the right hand side of the road. Placing the safes in points both north and south of the tav ern was an evident attempt to throw officers off the trail, it was observed. Police said that both safes were "punched" with hammer and chisel and it was their . the ory that the safes were opened in the pickup after they were moved from the tavern.

Winston Churchill called today for a virtual Anglo-American military alliance with a bluns warning against what he termed Russia's desire for "indefinite ex pansion" of its "power and doe. trines." , .Asserting that "a shadow has fallen upon the scenes so lately lighted by the allied victory,' the former British prime minis ter declared in an address pre. pared for delivery at Westmin ster college here: "Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its communist inter national organization intends to do in the immediate future, or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and proselyting tendencies." Understanding Needed ' Britain's wartime leader gravely declared that prevention of another great war "can only be achieved by reaching now, in 1946, a good understanding on all points with Russia under tha general authority of the United Nations organization." While he said he does not be lieve that the Soviet union de sires war, Churchill attributed to the Russians a desire for "tha fruits of war and the indefinita expansion of their power and doctrines." "From what I have seen of ou Russian friends and allies dur ing the war, I am convinced that there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for military weak ness," said the veteran states man. He cautioned against releasing the secret of the atomic bomb ai this time. "Only For Myself Churchill, introduced by Presi dent Truman who accompanied him here from Washington, said he wanted to make clear that ha spoke "only for myself" and that he had no official mission. Members of Churchill's party told reporters privately during, the train trip westward, how ever, thatChurchill., had .dis. cussed his speech in advanco with the Earl of Halifax, retir. ing British ambassador. They adderl that it was iinlilrolv tti former prime minister, would speak out on so important a sub ject if he thought it might provs au uriuuii io DruisD roreign Minister Ernest Bevin.' They said too that Mr. Truman was given an opportunity to look over the text last night. ( Churchill, leader of the Attlea government's loyal - opposition, asserted that the United States already has a permanent defense agreement with Canada and add ed that "this principle" should be "extended to all the British commonwealths with . full reci procity." He advocated "continuance ot the intimate relationships be tween our military advisers, leading to common study of po tential dangers, similarity ot weapons and manuals of instruc tion, and interchange of officers and cadets at college" and "joint use of all naval and air bases in the possession of either country all over the world." Eventually, the eloquent Brit isher continued, "there may come the principle of common citizenship, but that we may ba content to leave . to destiny,-. whose outstretched arm so many of us can clearly see." Turning to the atomic bomb. Churchill said that in view of the . uncertain world situation, it would be "wrong and impru dent" for the United States, Brit ain and Canada to confide tha secret to" the UNO while that agency is "still in its infancy." "No one in any country," ha observed, "has slept less well in their beds because this knowl edge and the method and the raw materials to apply are at present largely retained in American hands.- "I do not believe we should have slept so soundly had the positions been reversed and some communist or neo-fascist state monopolized, for the time being, these dread agencies."

' "I made very clear," Morse added to reporters, "that I con sider a filibuster unconscionable and against the public interest whether applied to the Case bill or anything else." The Oregon senator is strongly opposed to the Case bill,, which labor leaders say would taka away the right to strike -unde? circumstances now considered legal. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Case (R-S. D.) already has been passed by the house. The senate labor committea appointed a seven-man subcom mittee yesterday to rewrite tha measure and consider it along with other pending labor bills. Chairman Murray ; (D-Mont.) said most of the committee ls opposed to any legislation that would "penalize or strait jacket" labor.
