Mighty

Funeral Display For Stalin Today

By Eddy Gilmore

MOSCOW. (AP) - Communist leaders. proclaiming to the world that they are still following a "firm policy of peace.” labored Sunday at the final preparations for a mighty farewell to Joseph Stalin. .

Dense crowds still plodded in raw and gusty weather to Red Square and the muted Hall of Columns for a last look at the man who ruled Russia for 29 years. Their ranks twisted back for miles into Moscow's suburbs.

Thousands upon thousands were on the streets, for this was a free day. and the ranks of the mourn- ers were swelled by people who came from the surrounding coun- tryside and by officials and lead- era who clocked in from cities far and near.

Chinese Premier Attends

Among the arrivals was Prime Minister Chou En-lai of Red China. who immediately went to Stalin's bier and stood honor guard with delegates from Eastern European Countries.

All this will stop today. Pre- cisely at noon. Moscow time, the life of the nation will come to I complete standstill for five min- utes when the body of the "man of steel" is laid to rest beside his .-o-revolutionziry. Lcnin. in the black and red tomb by the Krem- lin wiill.

BELGRADE. (AP)-The Yugo- slav Ciovemment announced today that President Tito (above) is en route to Britain in a move involv- lng economic. political and deferre- ive measures.

The terse government announce- mont issued shortly after midnight said only that Tito had left. ac- companied by Foreign secretary Koca Pepovic. the deputy foreign secretary. Ales Bebler. vice-Alrni- ral Josip Cami and military and diplomatic leaders.

There were no details on how Tito was travelling. g

There has been considerable speculation that he would steam down the Adriatic past hostile Al- bania to Malta and there be pick- ed up by a Royal Navy cruiser for the rest of the trip.

In was the first trip Yugoslavia's chief made oumldc his country since 1947, when with cabinet ap- proval he visited Bulgaria. Hun- gary and Romania on a goodwill mission for the Russian-led Com- in-form.

Transporiid. Will Rule On 1 P.C. llequesl

UPPAWA, (C?)-Decision in the rallways' application for a general freight-rate increase of seven per cent will be given at 11 am. Mon- day by the board of transport com- mimioncrs.

Judgment will dispose of the first part of a three-way applica- tion pending before the board. In the other two. the -board has been asked to grant. a specific nlne-per- cent increase and also to change the rate-setting method so as to permit further. intermediate in- creases at the discretion of the railways.

Would Give 38 Million

The seven-per-cent increase would give the carriers additional revenue of about 338500.000 a year. The case was heard by the board a month ago with eight provinces-all except Ontario and Quebec--opposing the application.

Basis of the application is a drop in net rail earnings of the cana- dian Pacino Railway. used by the board as the iiyardstick" line for the setting of rates. Under a board formula the railways have been allowed rates calculated to give the OPE a surplus of 315,205,000 a year on its rail operations after deductions for fixed charges. taxes and dividends.

For 1932 the actual rail surplus fell to about s6.000.0iX) and the company estimated it will again fall short of the authorized amount this year because of higher oper- ating charges since the formula was last adjusted in Janxuary. 1952.

More Aggressive Soviet

Foreign Policy Fore-cast

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON. (AP) Ap- pointment of V. M. Molotov as for- eign minister in Georgi Malen- kov's new soviet government is re- garded by top American officials as a move toward giving Russia a more aggressive foreign policy.

While none in high position here can say how or in what area Rus- r.La's steady pressure for Commun- ist cxpansion mi lit be intensified. the best-informe officials look for posszble trouble in the Middle East.

Agree On Sit-Tight Plan

President Eisenhower. state See- retary John Foster Dullesland the -Britlsli foreign secretary. Anthony Eden, have been reviewing the possible effects of the Russian gov- ernment reorganization. They are reported to agree that for the mo- ment the Western powers should sit tight, avoiding any action which might be considered ei'ther provoc- ative or softening their determin- atlon to defend the free world.

While authorities now believe the

Kremlin may em rk on a more aggressive pursuit of its foreign policy aims, they do not look for any quick. basic change in those aims. After all the men who are now in the forefront in Russia were close to Stalin and presumably were decisively influenced by his policies.

Unknown Quantity

Malenkov himself. ax far as fac- tual information and firsthand im- Dressions go. is almost an unknown quantity. Many Americans consid- or him to be a hater of the West. some British experts regard him as primarily a Soviet isolationist.

The speed with which the Krem- lin group organized and put up at least the appearance of a united front was a defeat for one of the main hopes of the West. The con- fusion and struggle for power which were expected to follow Sta- lin's death have not rintcrinlizcd. at least on the surface. Malenkov seems so firmly entrenched that a struggle may prove to be impossible even if some me in the inner group

desires to start one.

Chinese Reds Pay Scant Attention To Malenkov

TOKYO, (AP) - Communist China's controlled radio was fix- ed rigidly Sunday on the death of Prime Minister Stalin, with scant mention of his successor. Georgi Malenkov.

Pelping radio broadcasts, heard in Tokyo. emphasized that "under the leadership of chairman Mao Tze-tung we will always unite with the gran: Soviet people in the development of national con- struction and defence of world peace."

The Red radio made no immed- lntc effort to build Malenkov up to the Ilaiure of Stalin or even Mao no a "great teacher and leader." Nor was there any kind of speculation on polilcal chang- er inside the Soviet Union ainco Malenkov took over.,

However. a high-powered Chin- us Red delegation "headed by

Premier and Foreign Minister Chou En-lai was in Moscow to

attend Stalin's funeral-and pre- sumably would talk business as, well as mourn.

The delegation included high economic. financial and foreign office figures as well as deputy leader: of the Chinese Red Army. Air Force and Navy and the minister of public security.

For the time being. the Chinese propaganda effort -ignored vir- iually everything else-including the war in Korea and even the latest germ warfare charges against the United States.

Pelplng Radio said it would devote nearly eight hours of its overseas broadcast Monday to cqrerlng huge mass memorial meetings in Pelplng and 'elae- where in China. A five-minute silence was ordered throughout the land at 5 pm.

PUSAN.-(OP) - A riot of 2.000 rebellious North Korean prisoners of war was quelled with tear gas and gunfire Saturday night. Twenty-three were killed and 42 wounded.

The United Nations command said Sunday night the prisoner-of- war compounds on Yonchon Island where the uprising occurred was ”quiet as we can expect it today." Several UN guards were hurt by a barrage of stones hurled by the prisoners but none of the injuries was serious.

A statement released through UN command headquarters in Tokyo said Allied guards fired on mutinous prise-ners' under an

The commander ordered the POW's to produce one of their men who had broken camp rules. POW headquarters said. Without warn- ing. 60 or 70 prisoners began throwing rocks at the two men.

Altogether four compounds were whipped into mass hysteria. and rock-tlirowlrig before gas and bul- lets brought peace.

Decisioaiiade Al Anglo-American Conference

U. S. Also Persucrdes Britain To Loosen Trude. Currency Re- srricrions.

WASHINGTON, (OP) - Britain has promised to impose an econ- omic blockade on shipment of strategic materials to Red China. This was announced Saturday at the -'ose of Anglo-American for- elgn policy and economic talks.

At the same time the two countries indicated that the U, S. has encouraged Britain to plunge into freer currency and trade policies.

Two communiqucs. one on for- eign policy and the other on econ- omic policy, closed out the formal talks which began last Wednesday.

Participating were Foreign Sec- retary Eden and Chancellor of the Exchequer R. A. Butler of Britain and State Secretary Dulles and Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey of the U. S.

' Two Announcements

The two announcements boiled down to this.

1. Britain will try to prevent shipments to Red China of ma- terlais useful to the Chinese war effort. This will be done by set- ting up a licensing system design. ed to prevent transport of non- British strategic materials to China in British ships. In the past it has been possible for British ships to be used to carry strategic materials from one Iron Curtain country to another. Another method of tight- ening the blockade will be to re- fuse permission for any ship car- rying strategic materials to the Chinese Reds to be refueled at British ports. Most vessels would find it difficult to get from Europe to China without refuelling at one of thestrategically-located British ports.

2. The two countries will co-opcr- ate and Britain will take direct action in the sterling area to loosen monetary and trade shack- les with the aim of strengthening free world economies. The econ- omic communique did not specific- ally mention methods of freeing the economy although it suggest- cd that the days of direct large-
