Wallace Reveals Truman Knew Views in July Discloses Letter Urging Guarantee Of Soviet Security Avoid Armed Clash in Berlin Chinese Government Claims Main Communist Kiangsu Base Captured Peiping, Sept. 17. (JP) The Chinese government news agency Tuesday claimed the capture of Hwaiyin, main communist operational base in north Kiangsu province, as military observers foresaw an all-out offensive against the communists in north China and Manchuria in an effort to end the civil war. The report from Nanking that the Grand canal city had fallen followed closely communist charges that the government was launching an offensive on seven fronts aimed at Hwaiyin, Kal-gan and Harbin, the latter in Manchuria.

Outlines of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado Plans Are Announced Livestock Is Termed Leading Industry Of Midland Empire Area Washington, Sept. 17. (IP) The States of Colorado, Montana and Wyoming have projected a locally-financed public works program for the next four years. Outline of the program is contained in applications to the federal works agency for advance funds for planning non-federal projects. Pro posed state, county and municipal are muiuueu in uie nsi.

The total postwar public works program for the three states ia? for slaughter, restocking of ranges, bleeding purposes and feeding for further finishing, went to 29 states. During the last five years, 37.207 horses have been sold on the Billings market for a total of and were shipped from Billings to 27 states. From last January to September 1, $11,068,939.36 has been paid producers selling livestock through Billings markets; the total money paid producers In Billings the Inst five years is $65,021,117.99. The total number of 'livestock fed for market in the Midland Empire during 1945 was 51,551 cattle, 176,431 sheep. Mann also brought out in the discussion that during 1945 railway carloadings oi livestock out of Billings totaled 5,690 cars, and that (Continued on Puge 10, Column 5.) The influence of the Billings livestock industry upon the economic stability of the city and the Midland Empire was depicted Tuesday at a meeting of Billings Kiwanians, held in the Commercial club.

Charles F. Mann, leading the discussion, termed the livestock industry the "chief industry of the Midland Empire," and with Norman Warslnske and Dale Wilder, brought out these facts: During the last five years 1,776,226 head of livestock have been channeled to major markets through the two Billings stockyards. Thirty-seven per cent of all Montana cattle are marketed through the two Billings stockyards. Livestock was received by local markets from 17 states, three provinces of Canada and Old Mexico during the 1945 season. Livestock shipped out of Billings Ecton Attacks Truman, Wallace Harlowton, Sept.

17. (JP) Zales N. Ecton, Montana Republican senatorial nominee, says the United States state department, "ambushed by (Secretary of Commerce Henry) Wallace and deserted by President Trumnn, has become the lost bat talion in the fight for peace and security in the world." Ecton, who opposes Leif Erlckson, Democratic candidate for the seat now held by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, declared in a campaign speech, at a rally here Tuesday night: "Montana Democrats who want to prevent the Moscow-slanted Ideas of Henry A. Wallace from becoming the foreign policy of the United States will have to vote for the Republican congressional nominees this fall, because Democratic candidates are either openly In accord with Wallaces communistically In clined philosophy, or, by their silence, have given that philosophy their approval.

Nothing could be more en couraging to them (communists) than the recent foreign policy speech of Wallace and the apparent inclination of Truman to follow along Ecton bpgan his campaign at Bozeman Monday, with the statement that the president's repudiation "of Wallace's foreign policy speech which he had admittedly approved (earlier) was the most cowardly face saving attempt ever charged to an American president."

(JP) An authoritative source said Tuesday martial law might be clamped down throughout Greece because of mounting violence in the northeast where the gendarmerie is battling leftist bands estimated at more than iq.OOO The informant said the cabinet by the renewed leftist activity, and then, if necessary, throughout the entire country. Demetrius Partsalides, secretary-general of the communist-dominated E. A. M. (national liberation front), said there were more than 10,000 "freedom fighters in the free hills" who had been driven there by "excesses of the mon-archo-fasclst government which Is controlled by Britain." The principal theater of action at present is the rich plain of Thessaly, lying athwart main lines of communications between Athens and Salonika.

Operations have shifted from Macedonia in the north, where recently the governor general declares a "guerrilla civil war" had been raging. The government has exhibited growing concern over possible rupture of vital Athens-Salonika communications. Leftist bands, government reports said, have been mining roads, cutting telegraph lines and attacking gengarmerie and soldiers moving over the roads in the area. Recent announcements by the Greek ministries of press and public order said that bands on the borders of Yugoslavia and Albania were preparing to enter Greece, and the allied observer said the attempt to sever communications might be linked with such a plan. Government authorities said the bands had no connections with the regular armed forces of the neighbor countries, but were members of a general leftist movement in the Balkans.

Acting Premier Stylianos Gon-atassaicf the government was satis fied the movement was part of a developing pre-arranged plan testifying to an increase "in the subversive efforts of anti-national elements in conjunction with the activities of similar organizations outside the borders." It was understood the cabinet had decided last night in principle on the arrest of a number of prominent leftist, but had put off their final decision until the return of Premier Constantin Tsal-daris from the Paris peace conference. Yugoslav Flays Western Allies Paris, Sept. 17. (JP) Yugoslav Delegate Ales Bebler charged Tuesday that the western powers were guided by power politics in peace conference proposals for the boundaries of the free zone of Trieste, and were attempting to establish a bridgehead there for future action against Yugoslavia. While the Italian political and territorial commission continued the long and wordy debate on Trieste, two other commissions displayed a burst of speed.

The Bulgarian political commis-l sion adopted without dissent or discussion an article requiring Rus sian forces to evacuate Bulgaria within 90 days of the date the treaty takes effect, and sped through seven other articles of the Bulgarian treaty. The military commission adopted provisions for division of surplus Italian fleet units among the United States, Britain, France and Russia and agreed on demilitarization of the Italian frontiers. I Australia, in the Bulgarian com- mission, withdrew her amendment! Shipping Strike Tieup Eases On East Coast A. F. L.

Workers Back On Job; Violence Threat Is Eliminated New York, Sept. 17. (U.R) A. P. L.

Beamen and longshoremen went back to work stocking and loading ships Tuesday in the first break in the 13-day maritime strike, but the C. I. O. National Maritime union still had at least 75 per cent ol the world's greatest merchant marine tied to its moorings. A.

17. Secretary Wallace has dared President Truman to remove him from the cabinet. But Truman got himself into that awkward dilemma by conceding that the secretary of commerce had a "right" to deliver speeches on foreign policy. The continued expression of opinions by the secretary of commerce on matters that concern primarily the department of state would create an unprecedented, if not an intolerable, situation. As Senator Vandenberg, Republican, said from Paris the other day that the Republicans could cqoperate "with only one secretary 'of state at a time," it certainly will mean that foreign policy will become the football of American politics.

Despite Truman's statement that Secretary Byrnes continues to express the foreign policy of the Truman administration, the impression has been conveyed that the president is not too sure about it and is waiting now for the public to decide as between Wallace and (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.)

Congress allocated $65,000,000 to finance planning of locally-financed postwar public works. Advances from the fund are repaid whenever a project is begun, but FWA says none is granted unless a governmental unit shows "the capacity to build with its own funds within four years." The proposed program, to be paid for out of state and local funds, shapes up as follows: Montana Applications have been made for $269,750 to plan projects to cost $7,993,793.

Of this figure, FWA has advanced $160,500 for projects to cost The remainder of the applications are under study. Advances already approved include the following: One application for $8,575 to plan road work that will cost $192,220. Ten applications totaling $28,392 for planning sewer, water and sanitation projects to cost $718,769. Twelve applications totaling for planning school and college buildings to cost $3,732,229.

17. (U.R) The army air forces, on a determined drive to bring back the world's air speed record to the United States after an absence of 20 years, Tuesday permitted dis closure of an unofficial time of 619 miles an hour, topping the British world mark by three miles. The run was made here a week ago on a windless day. Putting its chips down on the Re public P-84 Thunderjet fighter, the A. A.

F. has organized a team of Colonel William H. Councill, holder of the cross-country record of four hours and 13 minutes, and Captain Martin L. Smith, combat pilot from Kidder, to shatter the world record of 616 set a week ago bya Gloster Meteor. Another try will be made within two weeks.

With Smith at the controls of the smoke-trailing fighter and Councill directing the project from the ground at this air forces testing base, the A. A. F. missed grabbing the record by only one day two weeks ago. To be official, all marks have to be broken by five miles an hour in an average of four passes over a three kilometer (1.46 mile) course.

The British on Nov. 7, 1945, broke the 1939 German record of 469 and on June 12 raised it to 606. Two weeks ago the Thunderjet smoked through the official course here at 611 and then the A. A. F.

(JP Secretary of Commerce Wallace urged President Truman in a letter last July 23 to junk the Baruch-Acheson atomic control plan, about-face on military and foreign policy, and guarantee Soviet security to avert World war III. The letter, made public Tuesday night, revealed officially for the first time that Mr.

Truman previously had invited Premier Stalin to visit the United States. And it disclosed that Wallace prepared a memorandum last March for Ambassador W. Bedell Smith to take to Moscow suggesting trade discussions. Whether the president gave it to Smith was not clear. Wallace made the letter public because, he said, a copy "was filched from the files and is in the hands of a newspaper columnist." The 3.600-word letter went far beyond Wallace's controversy-ridden speech in New York of last Thursday in expressing anxiety over "the present trend toward conflict" and the secretary's convictions that drastic changes in the American attitude toward Russia are necessary to stop it.

In writing it, Wallace recalled to the president at the outset that "I checked with you about this last Thursday and you suggested after cabinet meeting on Friday that you would like to have my views." The letter was dated the following Thursday. Thus it seemed clear that Truman had the opportunity to be familiar with the views of his commerce secretary when Wallace checked his New York speech with him be fore delivery. Mr. Truman told his news conference last Thursday that he approved the whole speech and, when asked whether it did not con flict with the foreign policy line followed by Secretary of State Byrnes, replied that it was exactly in line. But on Saturday the chief executive explained that his ap proval went only to Wallace's right to deliver the speech.

As an upshot of the resulting storm, undersecretary of State Wil nam L. Clayton Tuesday challenged tne wisaom and prudence of per sonal foreign policy statements by (Contnued on Page 10, Column 5.) Injures Three Sidney, Sept. 17. Three persons were injured, two of them requiring hospitalization, and heavy damage was inflicted on farm buildings, hay stacks and elevators when a tornado struck Richland county Monday night. Walter Lanouette and Mrs.

L. L. Maxson are in Sidney Memorial hospital for treatment of lacerations and bruises and Robert Allings, Fairview newspaperman, received head wounds when the three sought refuge after picnicking on the Lanouette ranch near Fairview. Ailing told hospital attendants that he was struck by a flying picnic table. A cabin on the ranch was hurled on Alling's car.

It was smashed to bits and filled the air with flying debris, the newsman said. Investigation Tuesday morning indicated that the heaviest damage was suffered at the former civilian conservation corps camp near Sidney and in Fairview where the roofs were ripped from a mill and elevator. Many store windows in Sidney were shattered and telephones on circuits leading out of town were out of order, it was reported Tuesday. During most of the evening Sidney was without electricity.

S. Troops Berlin, Sept. 17. (U.R) A Russian lieutenant and five red army soldiers armed with tommyguns tried to take a Pole and a Ukrainian from American military police near Tem-pelhof airdrome Saturday night and pitched battle was narrowly avoid ed, United States military intelligence officers disclosed Tuesday. "It was the most serious rift yet between United States and Russian army personnel," one officer said.

The Russian 'lieutenant not only ordered his five men to cover Lieu tenant Colonel Robert M. Cheal ot San Francisco, commanding American M. P.s in Berlin, and other high- ranking United States officers; he also cursed and shouted: "Ameri cans are unworthy of being allies of the red army!" At one point, the Russian lieuten ant, named Morosov, threatened to call out a company of red troops to fight it out." At the height of the argument, he received a telephone call from Berlin central kommanda- tura the four-power command of the city to take his men and leave. United States army Intelligence told of the trouble Tuesday when Benia Glrago, one of the prisoners the Russians wanted to take, was turned over to the red army, after a request "through proper channels." She admitted she was a Ukrainian who had spent the war years In Berlin. But American officers refused to turn over Michael Bolinskl, a Pole, who was Benia Glrago's common-law husband.

Inasmuch as he is Polish, the United States army failed to see how he could have been a "traitor" to the Soviet, as the Russians claimed. They were arrested by both Amer ican and Russian military police in the American sector and taken to an American Jail. A Russian major named Karamatzov demanded that the prisoners be turned over to the Russians. He said, ven zefore the prison ers had been questioned, that they were "Russian traitors" and the red army was entitled to sole cus tody of them. American officers refused to let him have them.

Karamatzov then ordered Morosov and a detail ot five red soldiers to get the prisoners. They went to the military station near the airdrome and Morosov asked for the prisoners. Again, American officers refused. Abruptly, Morosov announced that he intended to take the prisoners and ordered his men to cover Colonel Cheal, the other American of ficers and a number of enlisted men in the station with tommyguns.

California Gold Rush Spreads Crescent City, Sept. 17. (U.R) The allegation of Assayer Ernest Hey that there Is gold In the hills northeast of here got its first support Tuesday from an independent assayer' who said the Myrtle creek discovery looked more like a 14-K find that a hoax.

Earl Annes, Grant's Pass, minerologlst and member of the Society of Mining Engineers, said he was convinced after watching Hey run the Myrtle creek ore through his special assay process that the rock was gold-bearing. Annes scrutinized Hey's "patented smelting process" Monday under the auspices of the chamber of commerce, which is anxious to determine whether Hey's claim of gold assaying $55 to $75 a ton and higher has any relation to reality. Hey said he invented a secret chemical formula by which he unlocked fabuluous riches from the red volcanic rock of Del Norte county which has been assayed in (Continued on Page 10, Column 4.) Compromise Ends Trucking Tieup New York, Sept. 17. (JP) A compromise indorsed by 15,000 A.

F. L. truck drivers and a substantial bloc of their employers Tuesday night broke the back of a strike which shut off deliveries to New York City business firms 17 days ago. Within an hour after a mass meeting of local 807, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, roared its approval of the plan with cries of "let 'em roll," 358 employers operating 2,300 trucks had signed the agreement Trucks were ready to move food to the city's shortage-stricken grocery stores, newsprint to paper- starved dailies, coffee, chemicals and general merchandise for the first time since August 31. The truckers went on strike to enforce demands for a 30 per cent wage boost and a shorter work week.

Employers offered a flat $3 a week raise which was rejected. The compromise plan initiated by H. C. Bohack and company, a chain food store operating 125 trucks awarded the principal classification of drivers $71.40 for a 40-hour work week. The old scale was $64 for a 44-hour work week.

Poland Urges Soviet Proposal Lake Success, N. Sept. 17. (JP) Dr. Oscar Lange of Poland, declared Tuesday that some nations are "yielding to the spirit of Munich" and called upon the united nation security council to adopt Russia's proposal for immediate action in the Greek case.

Lange, speaking for an hour to a crowded council chamber, said that Poland's reply to the spirit of Munich was "still the same resolute 'no' which it gave in September 1939." He declared that the council must do "something immediately to avoid the possibility of conflict in the Balkans." The Polish delegate, who yielded the council presidency Tuesday to Soviet Russia's Andrei A. Gromy-ko, thus joined Gromyko in opposition to a move by the Australian delegate, Paul Hasluck, to drop the case simply by passing on to the next item on the agenda. Brazil, the Netherlands and Great Britain have indicated support for Hasluck's motion. Lange declared that "dismissal of this case would diminish the confidence of smaller nations in this council." At the outset of his talk, Lange said that there was in Greece "an unduly large number of persons who collaborated with the nazls who not only are respected but actually are holding important positions." The council was faced with two propositions as it neared a showdown vote. One is the Hasluck motion.

The second is that presented Monday by Gromyko, who asked the council to call upon the Greek government: 1. To take measures for inv mediate cessation of the "provoca tlve activities of the aggressive monarchist elements" on the Greek- Albanian frontier. 2. To "put an end to the agitation regarding the state of war which Is said to exist between Greece and Albania, in spite of the fact that Albania is endeavoring to establish normal peaceful re lations with Greece." 3. To "terminate the persecu tion of national minorities In Greece." Suspect Is Held In Skeleton Case Butte, Sept.

17. (JP) Silver Bow County Sheriff Al McLeod said Tuesday that bones found Monday in a large heating plant furnace, adjoining a Montana power company substation near Butte, had been identified by two Butte doctors as those of a human skeleton. He announced also that a suspect was being questioned regarding the disappearance of John C. Smith, operator of the substation who was last seen when he left for work on the night of August 10. Mrs.

Smith has identified a belt buckle, also found in the furnace, as that of her husband's, the sheriff told the Associated Press. He added that further attempt was being made to identify the skeleton through the checking of false teeth by Smith's dentist. The officer stated that he hsd not established a motive for foul play in connection with Smith's disappearance, but that "we expect something more definite as our investigation progresses." "We found three small boxes full of the charred bones, and one of the doctors has put them together in the form of a skeleton," Sheriff McLeod declared. "Some of them looked like they had been sawed in two. We found a saw when we picked up a suspect." "Positive identification of the skeleton has not been made as yet, however," he emphasized.

County Attorney Frank J. Roe said the bones were discovered by Plant Foreman William Morgan after the furnace had been shut down for repairs. Also found were overall fasteners and what appeared to be a turquoise ring.

(JP) Four persons were killed and at least two others were wounded Monday night when government forces suppressed a short-lived revolt by a group of noncommissioned officers at the Ambroslo plaza cavalry burracks on the edge of the capital. The revolt was put down quickly by Commandante Enrique Rln-con Calcnno, head of the Caracas garrison, who cooly defied a sergeant with a machine gun and gained entry to the barracks. Apparently the uprising lacked support. An army spokesman characterized the Incident as being of no Importance. Luxury Gambling Vessel Seized Long Beach, Sept.

17. (JP) The United States Justice depart ment, taking Tony Comoro Stralla word for it that his gambling ship Bunker Hill was on the high seas, sent const guard bluejackets aboard the vessel Tuesday and seized It under the admiralty laws. As some 70 coastguardmen en tered the vessel's luxurious casino, roulette wheels stopped spinning, dancing dominoes came to rest and poker hands were discarded. The party was over for about 500 be- guilers of Lady Luck, many of whom had spent the night aboard. United States Attorney James M.

Carter said condemnation proceedings would be instituted on grounds that the craft is engaged in operations other than that for which It was licensed coastwise trade. The raid was carried out with brisk precision. The boarding party was led by Commander Chester M. Anderson, and preparations were started at once to tow the un-powered Bunker Hill Into the outer harbor. Carter said the ship would be turned over to the United States customs collector, and a libel filed agafruit it.

It was the first federal move the other agencies have been taking potshots at it.
