A Pravda editorial broadcast by the Moscow radio said failure of the Marshall plan would be a foregone conclusion if the American Ameri-can aid offer was copied from the Greek-Turkish program. It called the Marshall plan "too general" at this stage for the Russians to know whether it aimed at a European settlement settle-ment or Ideological war between be-tween Capitalism and Communism. A high British government source said Britain was ready to go ahead with a unified program without Russia if necessary. He said the primary task of the Paris foreign ministers conference was to determine how far Russia was ready to cooperate. Pravda said, "If the authors of this plan? follow the advice of some, eager American reaction aries and offer European countries coun-tries conditions copied from the Greek-Turkish example, then ailure of the' proposed program will-be a foregone conclusion Pravda claimed that the plan was aimed to provide the United States with European markets to stave off ar American economic slump. "Some people," it said, "think the European nation., could work out a unified recovery plan of their own and say what sort of economic assistance they need from the United States." Marshall Opposes Special 'Authority' To Revive the Ruhr By R. H. SIIACKFORD United Press-Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 25 (U.R Secretary of State George C. Marshall Mar-shall said today the United States is still opposed to creation of a special international "authority" over Germany's industrial Ruhr to revive coal production. Marshall also told his weekly news conference tnat wnat tne Ruhr needed was organization and administration and; not dollars. Marshall said his economic un dersecretary William L. Clayton had been discussing various' as pects of rehabilitation of the Ruhr with John J. McCloy,, president of the world bank. But Marshall said emphatically that the most im portant things needed to revive Ruhr coal production and indus try were not doUars the com-j modity in which the world oanK deals. . Marshall also: 1.

A study aimed at voluntary exchange of minority groups in the Balkans. 3. Internationalization of all ref- fugee camps ' harboring citizens who have fled from one Balkan country to a-er. 4. New treaties between Greece and the three neighbors along the lines of the Greco-Bulgarian convention of .1931. France joined in the majority recommendations, but abstained from the "conclusions" which named the Balkan countries and mildly condemned Greece for adding to turmoil within its borders bor-ders by means of discrimination, persecution of minorities and a policy of reprisal against political position. - The report advised Greece to grant "a new amnesty" to political politi-cal prisoners and guerillas. "It would be idle to believe," be-lieve," the report said, "that the situation in northern Greece could be cored by a stroke of the pen." The recommendations were handed to the security council over Russia's emphatic warning that the majority were trying to tamper with the sovereignty of the four Balkan countries. All of the proposals could be killed by a Soviet veto in the security council which will begin debate on them Friday. Retell Bill Opposed by Caiifornian Measure Harmful To Western Reclamation. Declares Rep, Welch WASHINGTON, June 25 (U.R) Chairman Richard Welch, R., Cal., of the house public lands committee, served serv-ed notice today that he will oppose the controversial Rock well bill on grounds it was harmful to western reclamation reclama-tion development. Welch said he might insist on further hearings on the bill, which was approved yesterday by one of his subcommittees. "If need be, I'll insist on hear Ings before the full committee with witnesses subpoenaed and testifying under oath," said Welch. The irrigation and reclamation subcommittee, headed by Rep. Robert Rockwell, R., Colo., ap-proved""his ap-proved""his bill to: 1. Ban use of interest collected on public power investments to help repay irrigation costs of rec lamation projects. 2. Lower the interest rate from three to two per cent. 3. Extend reclamation project payment periods from 40 to 67 years. 4. Make 'saline and silt control features of reclamation projects non-reimbursable. Subcommittee action followed several months of hearings. Main points of disagreement between be-tween supporters and opponents of the measure is the restriction on use of power interest. Opponents claim it will tend to raise power rates, reduce public power markets and, thus, lower power revenues which pay most of the costs of reclamation projects. pro-jects. They contend the measure will make many future projects "infeasible." Stgl; Prdlyciini Drops ; As Cd Miin)2ir Walk 0uk Miners React Angrily to Labor Bill Utah Pedestrian, Former P. G.

Cat, June 25 (Ui) -A woman juror, Mrs. Uvon Putnam, Put-nam, told Superior Judge Kenneth Ken-neth E. Morrison today that a man beat her at her Balboa, Cal., home and warned her not to convict con-vict Beulah Overell and Georee Gollum of murder. "If vou vote them euiltv. this isn't all youre going to get," she told the judge the man said last night after beating her. Morrison immediately took the woman into his chambers for a conference with , opposing attorneys attor-neys to decide whether to remove her from the jury and replace her with an alternate. Extent of her injuries was not immediately known. The attack raised the possibility that Judge Morrison might order the jurors locked up between court sessions during remainder of the trial. He earlier said he would take such action only . if there were evidence of attempts to influence jurors. Report of the attack delayed the state's calling of two mechanics mechan-ics to tell what happened on the yacht Mary E. just before Miss Overell. 18. and her lover al legedly beat her parents to death because of an "illicit, perverted, sadistic sexual passion. 4 r .

Eccles of the federal reserve board said today to-day that used-car prices will zoom if the government ends consumer credit controls? He asked ihe senate banking committee to approve a one-year extension of credit curbs to July 31, 1948. But a house committee commit-tee has voted to end these controls con-trols and it looks as if that will be done. Eccles said premature removal of controls "would only help to hold prices high in the. market place." He cited used cars as an example. ex-ample. "If credit restrictions are removed," re-moved," he testified, "there is every reason to expect that the present abnormally high prices oi usea cars will increase further in- relation to the prices established estab-lished by manufacturers for new cars."

Further cuts in steel operations were expected within 24 hours, as a result of the grim coal outlook. The soft coal miners' were scheduled to begin a 10-day vacation this weekend. But the number "jumping the gun" swelled continuously. And the "pretest" feature of the wildcat walks brought 2,800 anthracite workers out of the pits in the lower field , of Pennsylvania. Hugh White, United Mine Workers district president in Illinois, Illi-nois, said no UMW-manned mines in that area would work today And he said he didn't expect the miners to go back to work before the vacation period starts. Complicating the outlook was the possibility that the miners will not go back to work when the rest period ends July 7, because be-cause of the . return of the pits from government operation to pn vate owners.

Wildcat strikes In protest against the new law spread from the country's soft coal fields, where nearly 210,000 miners walked off their Jobs, - , to Pennsylvania's anthracite diggings. And 40,000 east and gulf coast shipyard workers, and 3,800 striking foremen employed by the Ford Motor company, were promising prom-ising further tests of the Taft-Hartley Taft-Hartley act's effectiveness. While the steel industry cut production because of the coal strikes, federal agents went into the coal fields seeking evidence as to whether the walkouts vio lated the supreme court mandate which forced UMW President John L. Lewis to withdraw a strike notice last fall. But a national coal mines administration ad-ministration spokesman said it was "routine" for FBI agents to make a checkup on work stoppages stop-pages in government - operated properties. If the wildcat strikes sweeping through the coal states could be construed as "concerted ; actioV stemming from the union, a caseltr violation of the supreme . court mandate might be made.. But union officials insisted the stoppages were genuine wildcat actions without union authorization. authoriza-tion. The soft coal miners start a 10-day, paid vacation on Saturday and this also would complicate any government efforts to stop the present walkouts.
