Can Aid Europeans Says Presents Figures To Show Help Can Be Given WASHINGTON, (AP) The Truman administration marshaled a vast array of figures today designed to prove to Congress and the nation that this country can export the food, fuel and machinery West-" ern Europe is seeking for its proposed recovery program. A report from Secretary of the Interior Krug, released by the White House, stated emphatically that the United States will be able to deliver -the goods for a $20,000,000,000 aid program without Impairing American resources. Some shortages will result, "but it is impossible to make a case that the proposed aid program will have a serious impact upon our economy," Krug said. Must Save Grain Krug asserted, however, that to assure success of the undertaking this country must save grain, retain export controls to make certain shipments reach the most needy countries and production and transportation facilities to a high rate, i In submitting his findings iKrug told reporters that supply presents a far greater problem than depletion of American resources in carrying out any foreign aid program. The secretary pointed to current shortages in coal, steel and-mechanica adding that stee offers "the most troublesome of all." Breaking down major items the Krug report held that wheal exports 200,000 in excess of last -years will not substantially impair the American food supply It found that an over-all pansion of steel facilities is needed but it must be delayed because it would take too much steel to build these now.

Boxcar Shortage It called for a 1948 production Increase in coal, but conceded the boxcar shortage will be a "definite handicap" in getting this coal to its destination. It found the am boxcar bottle neck hampering the distribution of industrial machinery, which is "readily available for export." It called for special measures to divert some American fertilizers to Europe, finding tha foreseeable nitrogen production will American de mands otherwise. It found farm machinery pro duction expending rapidly so that by next year 50 per cen could go overseas, if necessary. It predicted "localized' petroleum shortages in the United States this year, bu looked for increased imports later. Reds Demand 'Free' Greece Ask UN To Oust U.

S. And British Troops NEW YORK, (AP) Russia formally demanded today that the United Nations Assembly reverse a decision on the 57- nation political committee and order United States and British military personnel out of Greece. The new Soviet demand came as Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky pared to begin a last ditch fight against formal creation of an American sponsored U. N.

border watch in the Balkans. The Russian proposal to the already defeated Soviet resolution was submitted in a letter to Dr. Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil, Assembly "president, asking that the question be placed on today's calendar for the plenary sessions at Flushing Meadow Park. The United Nations failed in a new effort to break the three- week deadlock between India and the Soviet Ukraine in the contest for the Security Counsil seat which Poland will vacate Dec. 31.

Today's first ballot, the tenth since, the contest began Sept. 30, gave the Ukraine 29 and India 24. A two-thirds majority of those present and 35 votes was necessary for elec- Poultryless Day May Be Dropped Eggless Thursday Is Not Likely To Be WASHINGTON, (AP) The Citizens Food Committee sought from the poultry and feed industries today a grain conservation program which, if acceptable to Chairman Charles Luckman, may signal an end to chicken-less and y-1 Thursdays. Luckman scheduled a behind- doors meeting with industry spokesmen in an effort to draft a plan similar to those which the brewing, distilling, baking and restaurant industries have undertaken to save grain for European relief this Winter. Unlike the earlier reports, however, the new drive will test the cooperation of farmers in President Truman's voluntary campaign.

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson has stated that the farms, rather than industry, must provide the major part of the 100,000,000 bushel goal through a reduction in the use of scarce wheat and corn in feeding livestock and poultry. Luckman held a strong bargaining position for today's ses- dicated he will be willing to sion. His co-workers have in- drop poultry-less poultrymen have only if he gets in exchange a pledge of sizeable savings in the feeding of poultry and the manufacture and distribution of feeds. Even if he succeeds, committee spokesmen were unwilling to speculate whether he- would drop the eggless as well as the poultryless phase of the cam- pagin. Egg production now is at its seasonal low, they noted, and storage stocks are smaller than those of last month and last year.

Meatless Tuesdays will not be affected, whatever the decision, committee officials emphasized. The barrage of criticism against poultry-less Thursday is the poultry-less day based mainly on these claims: brings needless hardship on producers, because chicken and turkey supplies are large both on the farm and in storage. The Agriculture Department "last week reported that storage supplies of were at a record high for the season on Oct. 1. many of the estimated 300,000,000 fowl now beginning to come to market may be kept on the farms, where they will continue to consume grain.

Petrillo's newest edict, banning again the making of recordings by his 225,000 AFL musicians after-Dec. 31, was being measured from all angles today for the shape of things to come in the radio and entertainment fields. The head of the American Federation of Musicians issued the new directive Saturday, declaring that members of the union were "destroying themselves" by supplying their own competition in the form of recordings. "There will never be any more phonograph records or transcriptions made by members of the musicians' union," he said, adding that "unless a (radio) program has live music to offer, there won't be any music." The order was received in various segments of the radio- recording industry with mixed feelings. Band leader Ted Weems said it might "boomerang on musicians of this country and result in popular favorites being replaced by foreigners" and in California a spokesman for one recording company suggested making of master records might be shifted to Mexico.

"We've been expecting this," said one spokesman for a lead- tag recording company. "The whole industry has been recording like crazy for several months." He added that most of the major record companies have an accumulation of master records "sufficient to keep them going for years." "We feel that in the final analysis it will be the American people who will determine what they will hear and when and how they will hear it," said Mark Woods, president of the American Broadcasting Company. "Americans love music," he added. "No individual can deprive them of it for long." Two of the brothers Crosby Bing and Larry, expressed belief Bing's weekly transcribed radio program would not be affected by the order but their brother, Everett, manager Bing's enterprises, said he hoped for assistance from the government against the ruling. George Evans, public relations man for such singers as Dinah Shore, Lena Home, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra am other top flight recorders, sale that eventually they stand to lose royalty incomes from records ranging from $150,000 to $250,000 a year.

The ban is the second one Petrillo has clamped on the recording industry. The firs one. of 27 months duration ended in 1944 when recording companies agreed to pay the union a royalty fee ranging up to two cents on each record. Union income from the roy allies has been estimated a $4,000,000 a year, but Petrillo said "we don't care about the royalties." He said the provision in thi Taft-Hartley law which forbid royalties to unions except fo health and welfare purpose after January 1 had "nothing to do" with the new policy.
