Restates Position On 111ssues Urged by Stalin for Direct Talk •y Ik* Aitecial*d Pr*u The State Department today com pleted a survey of 11 specific issues which Prime Minister Stalin put forward as subjects for direct Rus sian-American negotiations. The department concluded that on virtually all 11 the Soviet Union for the last two years or more has stood in the way of agreement. Many of the issues are still hanging lire in the United Nations or the Big Four Council of Foreign Min isters. The idea of a direct Soviet-Amer ican settlement was turned down cfflcially yesterday after Mr. Stalin had said Russia is prepared to use s suggestion of Henry A. Wallace that agreement be sought in this manner. _ _ Official View Summarized. The State Department’s survey summarizes the American official view on the subjects listed by Mr. Stalin as follows: 1. Arms Reduction. — This has been under consideration by the U. N. Security Council’s Commission tor Conventional Armaments since the problem of regulation was dis cussed in the 1946 General Assem ulv. 2. Atomic Energy.—Agreement on in effective international control plan has thus far been blocked by Russia. In 220 meetings of the U. N. Atomic Energy Commission, 17 nations have agreed on basic re quirements of effective control. The Soviet Union, Poland and the Uk raine alone have disagreed. 3. German Peace Settlement.— The two long meetings of the Coun cil of Foreign Ministers failed to break a deadlock, with Russia op posing virtually every proposal put forward by the United States, Brit ain and France. 4. Japanese Peace Settlements.— Of the 11 Pacific Allies, eight are ready to go along with the United States on Procedure. Russia has insisted that the Big Four foreign ministers must deal with the treaty. China also has raised procedural objections. Evacuation of China. 5. Evacuation of Troops From China.—American forces are there at the request of the Chinese Na tional Government. On March 31 they numbered 1,496 Army and 4,125 Navy and Marine personnel. 6. Evacuation of troops from Korea.—the U. N. General Assembly last November 14 adopted a plan for early Korean independence to be followed promptly by decontrol of all foreign forces. Russia and the Ukraine refused to go along. Russia barred any election in its occupation zone and is pushing its own plans which threaten to lead to civil war among the Koreans. 7. Respect for national sovereignty of individual countries and nonin terference in domestic affairs.— American and Russian actions in policies speak for themselves. 8. Military bases—In retaining armed forces in the territory of other U. N. members, the United States is governed by a 1946 reso lution adopted unanimously by the U. N. General Assembly. This Gov ernment has filed its agreements with other countries with the United Nations. Russia meanwhile has re jected an American proposal to the Security Council that armed forces acting under the Council have un limited rights of passage and rights to use bases wherever located. Soviet Ignored Trade Parleys. 9. International trade—Represent atives of 23 countries attended a U. N. conference on trade and em ployment at Geneva last year. Fifty six were represented later In a sim lar session at Havana, where an International Trade Organization and elimination of trade barriers ivere agreed on. Russia refused to ake part in either. 10. Assistance to war-devastated :ountries—World-wide American aid speaks for itself. The European :ountries themselves proposed the present European Recovery Pro tram, which Russia opposes. 11. Human rights—The United 'Jations' effort to work out a cov mant la well advanced. This is by ts nature an international problem tnd both Russia and the United States have an adequate forum for heir views in the United Nations. ihopawamsic Park Bill s Approved by House A bill authorizing a change In he area of Chopawamsic Park,! :ear Dumfries, Va., in Prince Wil-, iam County, was passed by the: iouse yesterday and sent to the i Senate.

CENTER OF COAL DISPUTE—John L. Lewis (left) and Joseph E. Moody, president of the Southern Coal Producers’ Association, looked happy when this picture was made yesterday.

Stalin (Continued From First Page.) and the United States could now be considered ‘'dead." His only reply was: “A thing has to be alive first before it can die.” A touch of humor was injected into the news conference interview when a reporter recalled that Pres ident Truman had said several times he would be glad to see Mr. Stalin if the Russian leader came to Wash ington, and asked whether Gen. Marshall would be glad to see Mr. Molotov if he came here. ‘‘Well,” the Secretary replied, “I; would certainly see him.” Real Hope Doubted. Amreican officials generally are inclined to discount the possibility that Mr. Stalin’s latest statement presents any occasion for real hope of improved relations. While the State Department called the statement ‘‘encouraging,” it is clear that if any negotiations are to come out of ihe current round of Moscow- Washington pronounce ments, some basis must be found other than that suggested by Mr. Stalin. The State Department in a state ment yesterday said Mr. Stalin’s show of interest in reaching agree ment is “encouraging,” but that the real questions to be decided embrace the Interests of many nations—not just the United States and the Soviet Union. British Back U. S. Rejection Of Soviet Peace Talk Offer LONDON, May 19 <£■).—1The Brit- j ish Foreign Office expressed its com plete solidarity with the State De partment today in rejecting Russia's second offer to “talk peace” with the United States. A spokesman told a news confer ence that Britain regarded the American arguments for not wish ing to negotiate a direct settlement with Russia on a basis suggested in an exchange between Henry Wal lace and Prime Minister Stalin as "indisputably true.” The State Department said yester day the specific issue Mr. Stalin; named could not be discussed bilat-' erally because other countries are involved. Stalin Seen Insulting Truman in Statement SYDNEY, Australia, May 19 (/PI — ' The Sydney Morning Herald com mented today that Prime Minister Stalin’* reply to Henry A. Wallace’s I "open letter” was “an open insult to I President Truman and his Govern ment.” "Stalin,” the Herald said, "could hardly have devised a better way of antagonizing the American admin istration than hi* enthusiastic In dorsement of the view* of its prin cipal opponent and most intem perate critic.” Bank Gives Government Miss Kellems' Tax Money iy the Associated Press WESTPORT. Conn., May 19.— Miss Vivien Kellems lost a round :oday in her one-woman battle against the withholding tax law. Her bank notified her it had turned sver $1,685.40 of her money to the Government. The Internal Revenue Bureau had filed a lien in that amount against the bank account of her Cable Grip Manufacturing Co. here. The Westport Bank & Trust Co. acknowledged a warning from Miss Kellems that she would take "legal steps” to recover the money if it were paid over to the Government. It said, however, that it had decided to satisfy the lien “upon the advice of our counsel.” A receipt from James C. Healy, deputy collector of internal revenue for Connecticut, was inclosed.

Coal (Continued From First Page.) operators that the breakdown In negotiations might precipitate a new crisis in the coal fields. Mr. Lewis and the UMW are still under a District Court injunction against a strike resulting from the recent dispute over miners’ pen sions. But Government attorneys do not believe the injunction would prevent a strike over another issue. Justice Department attorneys asked Justice T. Alan Goldsbor ough yesterday to dismiss the pen sion strike injunction. The judge refused, and asked Federal attor neys to submit a brief outlining why the order should be dissolved. Had Issued Warning. Mr. Lewis had warned before to day’s session that there would be no wage conference if the operators Insisted on seating Mr. Moody. Mr. Lewis said he would recog nize Mr. Moody if he obtained indi vidual representations from the 14 local operators’ groups that make up the Southern bloc. Hie associa tions signed the present contract Individually. Operators supporting Mr. Moody were taking the position that Mr. Lewis should not be allowed to dic tate who the negotiators for the mine owners should be. They held that if the union head chose to stand on such a technicality it shows he did not want to negotiate a new contract. Several operators described the dispute as silly. Mr. Lewis described the Southern Association as "a holding company” and said it always had thrown ob stacles in the path of past industry wage agreements. In addition to Mr. Moody’s per sonal fight, the operators maintaih that under the Taft-Hartley law Mr. Lewis could not dictate who may represent the employers in bargain ing sessions. But Mr. Lewis said that the 14 Southern groups had signed the 1947 contract which requires them to negotiate a new one if the miners want it. He added that failure to be represented at the bargaining conference would be a violation of the contract. The Southern association was Formed in 1943 to handle labor re lations and aid in legislative pro grams of that region's operators. Dn two occasions since then the as sociation tried to make a separate :ontract, but both times was forced o accept an industry-wide agree nent.

Strieker, jr.. Grosse Point, Mich., employed in GM’s in dustrial economics section, made that contention in testimony before a House Labor subcommittee hear ing on a bill to establish a Federal labor extension service. He said he enrolled in one of the public courses offered by the Mich igan extension service. Mr. Strtck er said his instructor was Sam Jacobs, an assistant to Victor Ruther, educational director of the CIO United Auto Workers. The witness said the instructor showed his ‘‘apparent bias” by mis leading, partial quotes from Gov ernment documents and by using UAW and CIO Political Action Com mittee pamphlets for texts. ‘‘I was surprised,” Mr. Strieker said, "to find a classroom where the Marxist idea of class economics was being presented with the support of public furids.” usea taruHm oi nusun. Among other things, Mr. Strieker called to the committee’s attention to a cartoon in a UAW pamphlet depicting C. E. Wilson, president of General Motors, at a bullfight jovi ally applauding and shouting “More, more” to a bull labeled “Inflation.” Mr. Strieker said the pamphlet also had “derogatory cartoons and inflammatory attacks” on various Senators and House members. The CIO-PAC pamphlet used in the course, he said, urged readers "to fight against Congressmen who fought against us” and to "fight back with a buck to PAC." Mr. Strieker said he thought the committee ought to know about his experience, since other witnesses have “advanced the Michigan pro gram as a prototype for the kind of educational service to be set up under the proposed bill.” In Ann Arbor, Alexander G. Ruthven, president of the Univer sity of Michigan, denied Mr. Stircker’s contentions, and said that on the contrary the extension course in question had been "care fully observed” and had been found "objective.” Call EfTort to “Discredit." The testimony, he added, was an attempt to "discredit” the Mich igan extension service program and similar services of other schools. Dr. Ruthven said the testimony of persons “thoroughly conversant” with Michigan’s program has been placed in Senate and House com mittee records.” we irusi, ne aaaea, wi*t mcu testimony, together with that of reputable witnesses and educators from all parts of the Nation as to the need for an extension service for workers will constitute the basis for favorable congressional action.” Dr. Ruthven said Mr. Jacobs had a “good educational background” for teaching the course. He added that Mr. Strieker’s criticism of Mr. Jacob's use of UAW-CIO pamphlets was unjustified. He said Mr. Jacobs took the pamphlets into the class room at the request of a student. Tax Court Ruling Upheld Against Mrs. Burks By tht Associated Preil RICHMOND, Va„ May 19.—The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals yes terday upheld a decision of the United States Tax Court which had determined a deficiency of more than $24,000 in reported and tax able 1943 income of Mrs. Ethel Burks of Washington. The court’s opinion, writen by Circuit Judge Armistead M. Dobie, pointed out that Mrs. Burks owned all the stock of Burks, Inc., and of the Home Furniture Co. The latter organization early in 1943 sold its accounts receivable to Burks, Inc., which later in the year paid Mrs. Burks $24,000 in settlement, the opinion noted.

T. Jutila, Finnish minister, who addressed the Columbia His torical Society at the last meeting of the season last night in the May flower Hotel. Dr. Jutila explained the back ground in Sweden that led to the presence of so many Finns in the Swedish colonies. From 1580 on, he said, there had been great migra tions of Finns into Swedish forests that had not known the ax and Swedish fields never broken by the plow. At first the Finns were welcome and happy in Sweden. Then as the use of wood as fuel (Sweden has no coal) and for the construc tion of ships put forests products at a premium, the Swedish peasants tired to run out the Finns, and there were massacres of the smaller settlements. The head of the New Sweden Co., Klaus Fleming, was a Finn, Dr. Jutila said, so many Finns sought sanctuary in the new world. Scottish Clerics Criticize Elizabeth for Paris Tour By the Associated rress EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 19. —Scottish churchmen declared to day that Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip set a regrettable ex ample for the young by attending horse races, a theater and a night club last Sunday in Paris. The Scottish Association of the Lord's Day Observance Society sent Prime Minister Attlee this tele gram: “We feel constrained to express our profound regret that the itinerary arranged for their royal highnesses, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip), while on their official visit to Paris, included attendance at racing, theater and night club danc ing during the Lord’s Day. “This is contrary to the best traditions of the British people, and sets a regrettable example before the youth of the nation. "It is sincerely hoped that the advisers of their royal highnesses will in future respect the religious convictions of this Christian na tion.” 2-PIECE SUITE UmOLSTEID $55.11 iMtaiS?Mw ui astuM** Jf rears f spsrisns* La Franca Upkalstarars UOt St. N.W.

Master Silversmiths Since 1873 710 12th St., Just Above 0 9 University Women Ask Court to Order End of Racial Ban A minority group in the Wash ington branch of the American Association of University Women has asked District Court to stop the local branch from denying membership to any eligible candi date “on the ground of race, color or religion.” The Washington branch is en gaged in court action against the national association in an effort to keep itself from being excluded as a branch of the association. The national group takes the po sition that the branch has auto matically excluded itself because its bylaws are -in conflict with the national bylaws on the question of membership. A preliminary injunction restrain ing the national group from taking action to oust the local chapter is in effect, pending a hearing June 15 on the issue. The controversy began 18 months ago over the Washington branch’s refusal to ad mit a colored college graduate. Yesterday’s action was instituted by a group of nine members, headed by Mrs. Ruth V. Lyons, who said they were elected as the temporary officers of a prospective local branch of the association at a meeting on May 7 of members who disapproved of the local stand. The plaintiffs declared they repre sented about 100 of the members of the Washington branch and be lieved they were acting in accord ance with the wishes of about 300 members, or 40 per cent of the voting membership. Last month the Washington branch conducted a referendum among its members, and the vote was 448 to 297 to uphold the bylaws and mem bership position of the branch. Named defendants were the officers and directors of the Washington orancn. “The Washington branch is a group of university women dedi cated to the furtherance of broad 'educational ends,” the suit declared. "It has incurred widespread notori ety as a result of conduct which indicates a belief on the part of its members that these purposes are consistent with exclusion of emi nently qualified women from mem bership because of their color.” The plaintiffs, it added, “cannot preserve their personal reputations of women who believe in education and in democratic liberties for all, without regard to race or religion, so long as defendants persist in their defiance of the national association on grounds such as those here in issue.” In addition to Mrs. Lyons, the plaintiffs include Mrs. Laura Puffer Morgan, Mrs. Edward A. Chapin, Miss Agnes Leisy. Miss Margaret Fiery, Dr. Helen M. Strong, Miss ADVERTISEMENT.
