Will Reject Russian Ambassador’s Demand For Explanation Of General MacArthur Military Talks U.N. Sources Say Stalin’s Attack Sign Of Fear Soviet Losing Faith Of World Paris, Oct. 29—(/P)— United Nations sources said today Prime Minister Stalin’s attack on the Western Powers may have been prompted by a fear that world opinion is turning against the Russians more than ever since the Berlin blockade. The three Western Powers denied Stalin’s charge yesterday that an agreement on the Ber lin case had been violated by American and British represent atives. The charge was seen here as an attempt to shift the blame for east-west disagree ments on to the west The United States and France officially denied any agreement on Berlin ever had been reach ed. A British spokesman in Lon don also entered a denial. Stalin charged there had been two distinct violations of agree ments for settlement of the Ber lin issue. Then he launched a lengthy attack on the policy of present leaders in the U. S. and Britain. His remarks were made in answer to questions by a reporter from Pravda, official Russian Communist Party news paper. A French spokesman said he did not know why France was not a target of Stalin’s attack. Western power delegates made it clear that all three powers had worked in complete accord on the Berlin case and other issues now before the U. N. general assembly. Some U. N. delegates com mented that the statements were the most defensive ever to come from Stalin. They said the Soviet leader usually adopts the role of a calm, wise father lecturing the western world, but this time he lashed out harshly at American and British policies. The delegates added that western power policies in U. N. debates apparently were having some effect in the Kremlin.

U. S. Officials Say Discussions Only Routine Washington, Oct. 29—(/P)—Tho United S' -.tes will reject Hub sia's demand for an official re port on Gen% Douglas MacAr thur’s military conferences at Tokyo with other American commanders. The State Department made this clear in a statement declar ing that such talks are held by MacArthur in his capacity as a top United States officer and "are purely routine matters of sole concc n to this govern ment.” At the same time, the de partment denied that the former Japanese Navy Yard at Yoko suka is being converted into a modern naval base for American forces int he Far East. Soviet Ambassador Alexander S. Panyushkin voiced his de mand for an American explana tion at a meeting of the Far Eastern Commission yesterday. The State Department declar ed its position last night. Its comment, however, was in the form of a public statement, rather than a diplomatic note. So the formal rejection will not be made until the commission meets again next Thursday in its role as adviser on Japanese occupation problems. J Li. action a short tim» after Mos cow had issued Prime Minister Stalin’s blast against the West ern Powers, charging them with pursuing aggressive policies aim ed at “the unleashing of war.” Both the envoy’s move here and Stalin’s statements in Mos cow were linked in American official thinking to Russia’s so called “peace offensive.” They were interpreted as efforts by the Soviets to picture the Unit ed States as a nation busily pre paring for war while the So viet Union is leading a great world movement for peace. Panyushkin based his demnad for information on press reports of a conference MacArthur held in Tokyo October 12-14 w'th Lt. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, com manding the Alaskan defenses, and Vice Adm. John L. Mc Crea, deputy commander of the Pacific fleet. The Russian ambassador said the subject discussed was “the question of incerasing American occupation forces in Japan and that of preparing measures against a surprise attack on Ja pan—although it is known for everyone that nobody threatens Japan.” UMW Leader Urges Vote Against Truman Pittsburgh, Oct. 29—(JP)—'The 36,000 soft coal miners in the United Mine Workers District 5 were told by District President John P.

Even the Democrats concede privatey they have little chance to gain control of the House. But they have been driving hard to upset the GOP in the Senate.
