AP wirepnoto Hoover Begins Famine Jaunt NEW YORK, March 18 (VP) rormer president Herbert Hoov er was on his way to Europe today on a famine-investigating trip paralleling the one he made 27 years ago to direct relief fol lowing World War I. When he departed yesterday aboard an army C-54 transport plane, reporters asked if he was going 10 Jrtussia and noovcr re plied he was "going to every country which has asked for food from the United States" and added, "it all depends on that." Ho said any further informa tion on the subject would have to come from Washington. (Although Russia has- asked aid, reports from the capital in dicated the USSR had been re moved from Hoover's itinerary following disclosure that Russia planned to sell France 500,000 tons of grain. Nevertheless, Sec retory of Acriculture Anderson said Hoover would make his own decisions as to countries he would visit.) Hoover's plane, manned by a crew of eight and including a flight surgeon, was equipped to go "any place in the world," army officials said.

It will consist of one representa tive from each of the 11 countries making up the UNO security council, plus a representative of Canada, which shares the atomic energy secret with the United States and Great Britain.

ATLANTIC CITY, March 18 (P) Director General Herbert Lehman of UNRRA said today that failure to furnish relief for the worlds' hungry millions "can well sow the seeds of further armed conflict." In an address prepared for UNRRA's fourth council session the retiring chief of history's greatest mission of mercy said that "we have demonstrated that the men and women of many na tions can work together in har mony for the common good of mankind. "The organization is not per fect," Lehman added, "nor have tho results been perfect, but the United Nations should recognize the basic fact international co operation is possible and can be effective." Accomplishments Lehman told the delegates from 47 nations that UNRRA had accomplished the following: 1. By the end of March more than 7,000,000 tons of supplies will have been shipped "and the scale of our operations is in creasing daily." 2. Since the first of Septem ber, approximately 725,000 dis placed persons have been re patriated with the help of mili tary authorities. .'. 3. "Were it not for the present food crisis, UNRRA could un doubtedly have claimed an even greater record during the battle of the winter of 1945-46." Collaboration Lehman acknowledged that "despite vigorous efforts by the administration, it has not been possible" to keep out of UNRRA's camps for political refugees "many who, it is believed, may be collaborators." "Lest there be some misunder standing," he added, "I desire to state emphatically that the re sponsibility for determining who among the displaced persons are collaborators rests squarely with the allied military authorities." The United States served firm notice on delegates that it did not contemplate that UNRRA should continue beyond the end of this year in Europe and the middle of 1947 in Asia. Interior Post Taken By Krug WASHINGTON, March 18 (VP) Julius A. Krug took office today as secretary of the interior, and immediately announced that Oscar L. Chapman would be nominated undersecretary. Chapman, a 49-year-old Colo radoan who has served as acting secretary since the resignation of Harold L. Ickes, has been an assistant secretary almost 13 years. . Krug took the oath before a crowd which filled the depart ment's big auditorium. In a speech which followed, the 38-year-old secretary, last chair man of the war production board, said that during his ad ministration "we'll be guided scrupulously by the will of the people as expressed through con gress. "I admit that sometimes my own personal views will differ, and I shall not hesitate to state and urge them," Krug said. "But where they are not supported in congress they will not affect the activities of the department." Krug said President Truman had authorized him to announce the nomination of Chapman to the post vacant since Abe Fortas resigned to enter private law practice. He described Uhapman as "able, modest and public- spirited." Congratulations, Diane!

I Snag Struck In GM Return By The Associated Press , As General Electric employes went back to the job 'of building refrigerators and other consum er goods today, local issues stood in the way of the return of Gen eral Motors workers in about a third of 96 GM plants. Announcing its 62-day strike had ended, the CIO United Elec trical Workers union said last night its 100,000 members would start returning to General Elec tric plants in 16 states today. Settlement of the GE dispute was on .the basis of an 18 J cents hourly wage increase, the same raise accepted overwhelmingly by 30 or 31 CIO United Auto Workers units which approved a national settlement with General Motors Corp. The lone dissenter among 31 reporting was a local at Baltimore, Md., which turned thumbs down on the national settlement. However, 10 of the locals vot ing decided not to enter GM plants until local differences have been settled. General Mo tors has indicated it would begin calling back to work this week employes from those ' locals which have approved the nation al settlement. OPA Scored For Aiding Inflation Agency Said Enabling Black Markets To Flourish WASHINGTON, March 18 UP) The National . Association of Manufacturers called upon con gress today to end price con trols on all manufactured goods, contending that OPA is "foster ing inflation, enabling black markets to flourish" and slowing down production. Robert H. Watson, president of NAM, opposed a year's con tinuation of OPA as asked by President Truman in a state ment prepared for the house committee. Assailing what he termed OPA's propaganda campaign, to "frighten" the country into a new lease on life for price con trols, Watson declared: OPA Shackles "Inflation can never be stop ped -in this country unless we stop creating fear in the minds of our people through irre sponsible statement; assure the public that they will get the goods they want at reasonable prices by taking OPA shackles off. manufactured goods; and bring the federal budget into balance and thereby an end to the growth of the inflation ary danger which comes from continuous government.defjcits." He termed-false-tne adirurit titration claim "that only OPA stands between the people and disastrous inflation." . Raps NAM .. Anticipating this attack, Chester Bowles, economic stabi lizer, criticized NAM as an "ir responsible pressure group" in an earlier appearance before the banking committee, now considering legislation to con tinue price controls, rent ceil ings and consumer subsidies.- . The committee also has heard Henry J. Kaiser, the industrial ist, challenge the authority of NAM to speak for the great body of manufacturers. Kaiser said the association never had asked his . opinion of OPA. . Fall From Horse Hurts Youngster Lyle Mills, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. DeLos Mills, 4th and Pine, is in a critical condi tion in Klamath Valley hospital, suffering from internal injuries received Sunday afternoon when he was thrown from his horse at the ranch home of his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter ttobison of Macdoel. The child suffered a ruptured spleen and a rupture of the ab dominal walls. He was rushed to the hospital, where delicate sur gery was performed and the spleen removed. Although his condition remained critical early this afternoon the little fellow showed some improvement. Lyle's horse, Ginger; had been moved to the Robison ranch that day. The child took the animal out for a ride and apparently rode over newly fenced land. The horse hit the fence, throwing Lyle over his head against a fallen jackpine. It is thought that Lyle struck a protruding knot on the tree which caused the injuries. Lyle is the grand son of L. O. Mills, pioneer Klam ath county rancher. Reds Detain U. S. Consul AtTabriz UNO Security Council Scheduled To Meet In One Week WASHINGTON, March 18 (Jt) With a single week remaining until UNO's security council meets, the Iranian crisis neared the breaking point today and Russian American relations tensed perceptibly. A steady stream of reports of new difficulties and sensational incidents in the strife-torn Mid dle Eastern country brought these latest top developments: 1. The American vice consul at Tabriz, Robert Rossow, was detained half an hour at a red army post last Friday. This was three days after the United States told the world that in stead of pulling out of Iran Soviet forces were moving through Tabriz deeper Into that country. The Russians expressed regret, and the state depart ment here said it attaches no significance to the incident. Iran Warned 2. While little of what is hap pening . in Tehran squeezes through the tight lid of secrecy, one report officially forwarded here' came to lieht. It said thn Russian diplomat in Tehran who had warned Premier Ahmed Quavam es . Sultaner that Russia would consider it an unfriendly act for the Iran ian government to reopen its case before the United Nations security council. There is no evidence, however, that the) Iranian premier in any way has modified his earlier word to the United States government that Iran would present its case. 3. American officials' best es timate of the possibilities at the moment is that the Russians may try either to break Qavam's resistance or pull off a coup d'etat to put a new gov- Soviets Screen Troop Movement .

The activity of the third column, last reported at Mia neh, northeast of Tehran, was unreported here. : Truman Claims No Advance Knowledge Of Pact Speech WASHINGTON, March 18 (JP) The White House reiterated to day that President Truman had no advance knowledge of Win ston Churchill's speech, suggest ing a future course of Anglo- American association to pre serve peace. - Press Secretary Charles G. Ross told a news conference Mr. Truman "had no advance know ledge" of the content of Church ill's speech and "didn't know what he was going to say." Ross assertion followed a St. Patrick's Day speech by Secre tary Byrnes rejecting the idea of a separate American alliance with either Russia' or Great Britain. The remarks, Ross said, were, prompted by a radio commen tator's assertion that Mr. Tru man knew all about what the former British" prime minister would say at Fulton, Mo. . The broadcaster reported, Ross said, that Mr. Churchill spent several hours at the White House on an earlier visit going over parts of the drafted speech. "There is no truth whatsoever in the report," Ross said. He said that when Churchill flew to Washington several days prior to the Fulton appearance he talked for an hour and a half with the president. "The speech was not dis cussed," Ross said. He said the conversation dealt entirely with arrangements for the president to accompany Churchill to West minster college, where -the speech was made. eminent in power. The immedi-. ate Soviet , objective would be to get official Iranian authority for the presence of red army troops in Iran. . Those troops were supposed to have been withdrawn March- 2. and the fact that they still remain is the Key point in the entire Iran ian crisis. Tenor Set 4. The tenor of American- Russian relations was set mean- w h i 1 e by Secretary of State Byrnes with his assurance on the one hand that the American government does not intend to enter into a military alliance with Britain and his insistence on the other that the United States must act immediately to maintain and strengthen its armed forces. To do this ; he called for extending the draft law beyond its May 15 expira tion and the enactment . of peacetime military training. Byrnes' statements ... were made in a New York speech Saturday night. He said this country has no intention of join ing a military alliance with Russia against Britain or with Britain against Russia. But he did hammer home the point that the United States takes the United Nations seriously and is building its foreign policy upon that organization. Diplomatic authorities saw a direct link between this and the Iranian crisis. .- TEHRAN SILENT , ANKARA, March 17 (Delayed) (JP) Inability of the Ankara radio to pick up the Tehran radio created considerable interest here tonight. The Ankara station said that for the first time Teh ran was . silent at periods regu- 1 larly used for programs in the Persian and Turkish languages.
