Russia Now Ranks Stalin With Great Heroes Of History By EDDY CILMORE NEW YORK, June 5 UP) Generalissimo Joseph Stalin Is a highly respected, almost hal lowed, figure In Russia today and regarded by hi 193,000,000 pciple as probably the greatest Russian of all lime greater than Peter tho Great, Ivan tho Ter rible and perhaps even Lenin. At 60, Stalin Is still a vigor ous man and still In charge of this nation that occupies one sixth of tho curth's surface. Elected In February thl year to four more years as Russia' leader, Stalin seem likely to fill out his term and if his health is as good a ll is today be elect ed again. They give him full marks for Russia's ability to withstand the welirmacht, for tho elimination of anti-Soviet clement before the war which resulted in the USSR having no fifth column, and for wise planning and think ing for them and their future all the time.

He spoke In a foreign affairs debate shortly after Winston Churchill, wartime prime minis ter and now opposition leader, declared that "the seeds of a new world war are being sown" In the Soviet-dominated areas of eastern Europe. Attlee said Russia had Insist ed in imparting to the Potsdam agreement a rigid and literal In terpretation denying all flexi bility to meet the changing situ ation. "We have to look upon the Russian people, to some extent, as if they bad been born in a dark foro.it; they do not seem to understand the sunlight, the wind and the air of the free democracies, ' he said. Attlee said continued misun derstanding between Russia and the western powers "Is really tho iron curtain it is a curtain between minds." . Referring to an earlier state ment by Churchill that Russia regarded any Anglo-American agreement as sinister in motive, Attlee observed: "I entirely agree that friend ship with neighbors Is not 'gang ing up' but I also have this to say: We don't want in any way to get exclusive friendship with the western powers. We aro out to get an all-inclusive friend ship. 19-year-olds and senators who want to keep the selective serv ice law Intact wero confident of defeating any draft "holiday." inc teen ago cirnit cleared the chamber by a vote of 53 to 26.

Any beliefs, fears or hopes here or elsewhere that there is opposition to Stalin in Russia Is nonsense.

There are generals and marshals by the dozens, yes, but they arc nothing as a group more than fighting men and would be the most embarrassed men in the Soviet Union to hear themselves referred to a a bloc seeking Dower.

June 5 (IP) Governor Earl Warren shattered California political tradition to day by capturing both republi can and democratic primary elections for renomination as governor. Warren won his own repub lican party designation bv a landslide vote, and was assured election without major opposi tion next November when Attor ney General Robert W. Kenny conceded his defeat in the dem ocratic primaries. In hi unprecedented sweep of both party primaries, per mitted under California's cross filing system, Warren did what no other Califomian has ever done and at the same time be came only the second California governor to be reelected to a second term. The Warren sweep also marked a sharp setback at the Dolls for me political action commrt tee. which had joined forces with Kenny's democratic "pack age" slate. All but one of the three other CIO-PAC-democratic group running for major offices went down to defeat with Kenny. Knowland Renominated United States Senator William F. Knowland was assured repub lican nomination for the senate. and Rogers, son of the late hu morist and Beverly Hills pub lisher, appeared safely in as the democratic nominee. Uot since Hiram Johnson be came the first California gov ernor to win a second term has any candidate repeated until Warren's victory in yesterday's balloting. Dual party nomina tion tantamount to election has been accorded congressional candidates before, but never to a governor before Warren. What effect this precedent- breaking election would have on 1948 republican presidential developments became at once the subject of political specula tion. ' Police Search For Kidnapers PENDLETON.

June 5 iP) The state department reported today the Romanian government had sent an unsatisfactory reply to the American demand that Romania fix a date for early free elections. Michael J. McDermott, depart- ment spokesman, told a news conference that the reply had been received only today and "at first blush it is unsatisfactory because it present a distorted picture and is inaccurate." Contents of the reply were not immediately disclosed. The American note was delivered at Bucharest on May 27 by Minis ter Burton Y. Berry. The U. S. note expressed dis satisfaction with political con ditions in Romania and called for fixing an election date, an end to censorship, protection for opposition political paties and other measures to advance political freedom. Truman Picks Austin For UN WASHINGTON, June 5 (P President Truman today selected Senator Warren R. Austin, Ver-mont- reDublican. to be Amer ica's representative on the United Nations security council. The appointment will not be come effective until next Jan uary. The White House explain ed that a constitutional limita tion prevents Austin from suc ceeding now to the position just resigned by Edward it. sietun ius Jr. Until Austin can take over, at the end of the senate term to which he was elected, Herschel Johnson will represent the United States in United Nations affairs. Johnson has been serv ing as deputy American repre sentative, Austin will, however, resign his senate seat at once and be named special representative of the president, with the rank of ambassador, to serve as an ad viser to Johnson. In announcing this arrange ment. Presidential ' Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters it was "further evidence of the president's belief in bipartisan policies where the foreign rela tions of the United States are concerned." Austin, 68, Is a member of the senate foreign relations com mittee and often has supported foreign policies of democratic chief executives. He has been in the senate since 1931. Accident Aftermath m Early Morning Flames Sweep LaSalle Hotel CHICAGO.

John Flanagan, chief house de tective at the La Salle, said the fire started in the No. 5 elevator shaft. He quoted Detective Ed ward McNamara as saying that the operator of the No. 5 ele vator rushed into the lobby and said there was fire in his pit. Several persons with fire ex tinguishers went to the reported location of the fire, and the fire department was summoned, ar riving in five or six minutes. Chaos Spread "But It was simply appalling the way the fire spread," Mc Namara said. "In a twinkling the whole lobby was mass of flames. From then on, every thing was chaos.

On the fourth floor, seven bodies were found in a crawling position. The victims Lhad been, headed (toward a iira escape, and naa Dven overcome on the way. The figures of many persons appeared in windows, as if they were planning to leap. Even as flame and smoke menaced those in the windows, firemen cau tioned: "Sit tight we'll get you out." Rescue ladders were quickly raised and more than 50 persons were rescued.

Malcolm Epley, a member of the chamber board, made the suggestion, pointing out that both groups would require un derwriting by the business com munity, that the two events are in need of immediate commit? nity interest, and that a combina tion effort with unanimous com munity support might prove more successful than separate efforts. Epley said he thought the idea at least worthy of con sideration, and the board voted to make the suggestion for con sideration at a meeting of the centennial association tonight. Marshall Cornett, member of the committee studying the plans for a rodeo, said that the group plans definitely to stage a rodeo, and believed it could be combined with historical fea tures that would give it a cen tennial celebration flavor. It was agreed that the centen nial pageant might have to be scaled down somewhat from present plans, but that an eve ning performance or two, along with appropriate features of the day-time show,, might be sub stituted tor tne pageani program later in tne year.
