Russia Believes U. S.
Is Dangling Dollars
Before Many Nations
By the Astociotwi Prm
MOSCOW, May 17.—The Soviet
press and radio have gone into high
gear against what is viewed here
as a growing United States cam
paign against Communism.
Repeatedly, editorials and broad
casts stress the Russian argument
that the Communist and capitalist
systems can live side by side in one
world. Prime Minister Stalin voiced
that viewpoint in his recent inter
view with Republican Leader Harold
E Stassen, and the press now is
using it diligently.
* The Russians are sensitive to
President Truman’s program qt aid
in the form of dollars for Greece
and Turkey. They appear also to
be convinced that the United States
is dangling dollars before the gov
ernments of Prance, Italy and Iran,
to mention a few.
The Moscow radio todav carried
a report that the Netherlands was
In bad financial shape and was
weighting the possibilities of an
American loan.»
Sees Welcome to Applications.
It seems to be the opinion here
that the United States will wel
come all such applications and in
, making loans will stipulate provisos
"beneficial,” as the Russians put it,
to the United States and aimed
against the Soviet Union.
The Russians seem to feel that
Britain is pretty much in the
clutches of United States lenders,
but they appear to have hope for
a change in the United Kingdom.
It is no secret here that Russia
would like to aid Britain in her
difficulties if it were at all possible.
If the Soviet Union’s grain crop
Is as good as it now promises to be,
the world may see a big Russian
effort to sell or trade grain in con
siderable quantity to Britain. The
same would hold true for timber
and other products. Britain, of
course, would be required to recipro
cate. The chances for British
Russian trade and co-operation have
not appeared better for a long time.
May Sell Grain to France.
Russia has helped France in the
past by selling her sdme grain, and
If the harvest warrants she may try
. to do it again.
The USSR definitely is interested
In developing more trade witn
Scandinavia. The Russians are con
vinced the Swedes believe that an
economic crisis is coming for the
United States.
The Russians also would like to
see more‘business deals and closer
relationship between themselves and
Latin-American countries, which
they believe are being penetrated
deeply by the dollar.
Moscow Commentator
Takes Britons to Task
LONDON, May 17. (/P)—A Mos
cow radio commentator took some
members of the British parliament
to task tonight for building up what
he termed the impression that
“prospects for international co-op
eration are hopeless.”
Commentator Yermashev recalled
Prime Minister Stalin's recent talk
with Harold E. Stassen, former
Governor of Minnesota, and de
clared that Mr. Stalin made it per
fectly clear the Soviet Union re
mains, as before, a consistent be
liever in international co-operation.”
He criticized those members of
parliament who during a debate on
foreign affairs attributed to Russia
unwillingness to reach agreements.
This same viewpoint, Mr. Yer

GRANDVIEW, MO.—TRUMAN ARRIVES AT MOTHER’S BEDSIDE—The big black limousine
bearing President Truman from the Grandview airport nosed into the driveway at his mother’s
home here yesterday following his arrival from Washington. The Chief Executive flew to Mis
! souri to be at the bedside of his mother, Mrs. Martha E. Truman, 94, who is reported in a serious
condition. • —AP Wirephoto.
mashev said, was expressed by
United States Secretary of State
Marshall in his report on the recent
four power foreign ministers con
ference.
“Not one word was said about the
unco-operativeness of the British
and especially the American dele
gations. the latter of which plainly
attempted to force its views' on
others,” Mr. Yermashev complained.
Truman
(Continued From First Page.)_
cheered after a threat a week ago
of lung and liver complications had
cleared up.
But age was running against her.
Gen. Graham described it simply:
“A tired heart.”
So the President who had spent
three hours at the little cottage in
Grandview a week ago—Mother’s
Day—was summoned by other mem
bers of the family early this morn
ing.
He breakfasted with Mrs. Truman
n l> bliv M iU tv, iiuuov, Vilen wvn VI*
in his personal plane from National
Airport at 8:50 a.,m., and landed in
Grandview 4 hours and 45 minutes
later.
Weather Bad for Landing.
Accompanying the President were
a few Secret Service men and Sec
retaries Ross and Matthew J. Con
nelly.
A press plane which left Wash
ington in mid-aftemoon carried
other members of the Secret Serv
ice detail: Miss Rose Conway, the
President's personal secretary, and
Rear Admiral James H. Foskett,
Naval aide.
The weather - was bad when the
presidential plane approached the
Grandview Airport, and it was
feared for a few minutes that a
landing would not be possible. The
clouds broke sufficiently, however,
for the plane to come in.
President Truman had ignored
the bad weather and an official ce
iport that a tornado might develop
in the area to fly to his mother’s
bedside. The warnings were based
I on reports that a tornado cloud
Was sighted near Olathe, 30 miles
west of Grandview'.
Hurise to Mother’s Home.
The weather bureau said later
this report proved erroneous a ad
! was believed to have been the re
| suit of a smoke cloud being mls
! taken for a tornado funnel.
The President drove immediately
to his mothers home, and after
staying a while went to nearby home
of his brother, J. Vivian Truman
for lunch. Again this afternoon he
remained at his mother's home,
leaving only for dinner. He remained
until late tonight ’when he returnee'
to his quarters at the hotel here.
Gen. Graham also is in constair
attendance on Mrs. Truman as i."
Dr. Joseph W. Green, of Indepen
dence. the President's home. Dr.
Gertrude McKee, of Belton. Mo.,
and a nurse, Mrs. Lily Best of Kan
sas City.
Talks With Mother.
The President w-andered in and
out of his mother's room, and the
two conversed for several minutes.
Mr. Ross explained that Mrs. Tru
man’s mind is perfectly clear; that
she is well aware of her condition
and “talks about it.”
She is sleeping intermittently, and
Unrl lttfln Minnoii of ertff Krti Tori
egg and a preparation that contains
liver extract.
The President brought his mother
flowers from the White House—red
roses and snap dragons. As word
of her condition spread, messages
of good cheer flowed in from all
over the country’.
President Truman had planned
to sign the Greco-Turkish aid bill
at 10:15 Monday, and invitations
had gone out for the ceremony that
was to vmark the occasion. Thesr
invitations were cancelled today.
Mr. Ross said the ceremony may
be staged later, but tonight it was
not certain how long the President
would be here. He has 10 days to
'sign' the measure, which reached
j him yesterday. ,
Mr. Ross explained that the
President’s stay “depends on de
velopments^’
His daughter. Miss Margaret Tru
man, is scheduled to make her
debut as a professional concert
singer in Pittsburgh Tuesday night
and at the moment there is no
thought of ’ this affair being
: cancelled.
Life Insurance Agents
Go on Strike Here for
*
12 Per Cent Increase
A hundred life insurance agents in
the District and 250 in Maryand
and Virginia are out on strike
against the Peoples Life Insurance
Co. for higher wages and improved
working conditions, their union
president said last night.
George L. Russ, head of the In
austriai ana urainary insurance
Agents Council (AFL), said the
strike began Friday at noon, after
the company refused to submit their
quarrel to arbitration after the ne
gotiations had stalemated.
Beside ten employes in the Alex
andria office of the insurance firm
there are agents on strike in Bal
timore, Annapolis, Chestertown. and
Salisbury, Md., and at Tappahan
nock, Fredericksburg, Richmond,
Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Va., Mr.
Russ said.
He said the question of wages was
the chief point at issue. The agents
are demanding increases in their
commissions which would raise their
pay about 12. per cent. The com
pany has agreed that the cost of
living has gone up, but refused to
make any substantial wage offer,
insisting that the individual em
ploye should raise his own wrages
hv increased nr'oductinn. Mr. Russ
| said.
Negotiations on the new contract
; have been in progress for several
months, during which the agents
| worked under a contract signed be
tween the company and the union
in 1944. It has been held in force
on a day-to-day basis. «
The dispute has been put in the
hands of Labor Department Con
ciliator James J. O'Byrne. He has
not yet set a meeting between the;
two sides.

Allies Compromise
On How to Treat Hess
By Hit Aaociatwl Hum
BERLIN, May 17.—The Allied Co
ordinating Committee has compro
mised on the treatment which Ru
dolph Hess and six other Nazi war
criminals sentenced by the Nuern
berg international military tribunal
should receive in prison, Allied offi
cials said today.
Differences among the four powers
have delayed the transfer of Hess
and the six other top Nazi leaders
from • Nuernberg jail to Spandau
prison in Berlin. The prison, rebuilt
so that it would be escape-proof,
has been ready for months.
.The French and the Russians
have insisted that the seven should
UC UCiU aw «-uuu*-o-uoj OVMWWJ
confinement. The Anglo-American
view was that this was extra pun
ishment beyond that the military
tribunal meant by confinement.
Official sources said that the com
promise, approaching more closely
the Anglo-American attitude, was
that the prisoners should be kept in
isolated cells but exercise, work and
attend religious services together.
Conservation would be permitted
only whep authorized.
Spandau Prison with a capacity
for almost 600 prisoners was vacated
to make room for pnly seven. For
the moment, informants said, there
is no prospect of additional prisons.
The scientific name for tooth de
cay is “dental caries.”
Cocoa derives from an Aztec word,
Cacahoatl.
