Russians Quit liaaiih Organization

GENEVA. Switzerland. Fob. l6 - (AP) — A surprise decision of the Russians to cut one of their ties to the United Nations was disclosed today. The Soviet Union. White Russia. and the Ukraine have walled out of the World Health Organization, a. specialized U. N. agency.

Dr. Brock Chisholm of Ottawa. director-general of the agency, re- fused to accept their withdrawal. ifs proposed to the Russians in- stead that. he visit Moscow to answer Russian arguments that ths-WJ-LQ. is ineffective and too expensive. '

"I, await your invitation." Dr. Giisiinim told the Russians.

The withdrawal would remove the Russians from the only special- lzsd agency they have joined since the United Nations was formed.

Churchill Leaving, lliarris Pictures t

Being Restored

The paintings of the late Robert l-larris, C.M.G., R.C.A., in 8t. Pet- er's Chapel. Charlottetown are now undergoing restoration. Mr. Percy N. Woodley of Saint John, N. 8., has been commissioned by a com- mittee ‘of the congregation to do the work and commenced about a week ago. There are sixteen pain‘.- ings in the Chapel varying in slzo from 10 x 6 feet to 3 x 5 fodt. It is expected to require about six weeks to restore all the canvasses.

Although this is°the first time these particular paintings have been restored, Mr. Woodicy is fa- miliar with -Mr. Harris’ work, having restored a number of his paintings in the '2 riiament Build- ings and Law Courts of Frederic- ton. N. B. '

Mr. Woodiey is a native of Lon- don, England, and privately train- ed in his vocation at the National Gallery of that city. In an inter- view yesterday he explained that it was not merely because thii paintings become begrimed and darkened through the deposit of dust and atmospheric disoolouring that restoration is necessary. but the varnish used to finish each painting itself must be removed and replaced. Varnish changes in colour through the years from be- ing perfectly transparent, to yel- low, brown and finally a dark red. When this occurs "the painting tends to lose all its colour tone and details are completely obliterated.

Great care must be taken by the person charged with their restor- ation. 1n fact he himself must be an artist. Many types of varnish are used by painters and the first step after cleaning down to tho varnish is to “determine the one used. Then the proper solvent is selected and tested for strength.

Retouching is only necessary if ‘the picture has changed and the paint removed. lf the originals are not marked, chipped or otherwise damaged they may be restored par- fectly with all the beauty and brightness intended by the artist.

"Sixty years is a long time in any profession," said Mr. Woodiey. who is now in his seventy second year, "but I am always learning something more about my work." He has restored paintings in all parts of the Maritimes, Boston. Concord, Providence, and other cit.- ies of the United States. Two years ago he. did the paintings in the Legislative Building, Charlotte- town.

Asked about the cost of such

major world events). By J. M. Roberta. Jr. (Associated Press News Analyst)

A proposal first. offered a year ago by Bernard Baruch-that the United States stand mady to buy any surplus non-perishable raw materials offend at. world prices- is being discussed again as one means of effecting President ‘Pru- ma-nls world development program.

The idea is that. the mere ex- Astmce of s. ready market would offer a tremendous stimulus for productions in all coimtries. and that as production increased local living conditions would offer lass and less invitation to Communist infiltration.

Beforebhaasidoftihewai-Ba- ruoh and one of lids associates. John M. Hancock. had predicted a five-to-eevon year business boom. Baruch told in, Senate foreign re- lations ccmmittee last year that this boom period could be doubled by his "ready market" plan.

“And if, in that time, we shoisld succeed in making pace-a peace which enables men to face the future with hope. not. fears-then I see that proawblly continuing

ewetsry declared qnphsticaliy today that that United States policy toward thepropoaed North Atlantic soo- nrity treaty has not changed.

He thus * “enged complaints in Western Eisrope and Ccmmuni Pfwlaanda claims that the United States was backing down on its in- tention to make an affective de- fence alliance with tho Western European nations.

His statement. was iuubd "at s press conference in response to questions prompted by assertions of Senate ‘ ’ that the United States cannot make any automatic commitment to go to war in case one of the other countries in the security systan is attacked. _

The precise kind of commitment which may be made is still bolus negotiated and Acheson did not discuss it. He talked instead about "objectives" and “policies” and do- clsred that i_n this rofliitot theroare "no real differences” batsman the Btgte snddtlfia Blenaga btgisrt can ore p cy e I.

indefinitely, with steadily improv- ing living standards for ourselves and all other peoples, including Soviet Russia,” he said.

Many observers have long play- ed with tihe idea that if greater economic comfort could be attain- ed tn underdeveloped Russia, than than would be a chance for volun- tary revision of tho Common-sill:- imperialist, dogma which has la-otrght her into auoh a clash with the rest of the world. ‘

Rom the standpoint of the cold war alone. however, the proposal develops several angles.

The United States would be get- ting a. stiokpile of materials in re,- turn for money which would be‘ going ihto just the kind of} local- benofit development which/Presl- dent. Thu-nus suggested. ‘ The money would also help relieve the world dollar shortage. and than come back in Dsymmt for Ameri- oan-made goods. The world's cir- culatioarsyatem would be m the road to restoration.

Both Baruch snd Truman nig- gested that private enterprise lhould do the job witiirin a sup- pin-ting framework provided by

love-amen should» be told, Baruch said. to “Go out into . .. .. the far roaches of the world (snd) uoe. You will be able to sell it l." If they did, "assets now hidden would pour forth." -

All this, of course, spplies to development ‘of new mdnss, new oil wells and the like. It might spur such s ooimtry as Franco. which has been very slow to tum from production of perfume to the materials which Britain and ab‘; United Stains can profitably

work, Mr. Woodley said it was difficult to estimate without seeing the particular painting, though to give a rough idea the average painting might be done at about five dollars per square foot.

When his work is completed in Charlottetown he will return to Boston where he has been engaged by the Civic Council for the restor- ation of a number of large paint- ings.

Increase in ‘Red Gross Budget

TORONTO/Nob. l8 - An in- crease of less than l0 per cent ln the total Canadian Red Cross So- ciety budget requirements for this year over 1948 was announced to- day by L. A. Winter, O.B.E., Hon- orary Treasurer.

"But the exhaustion of war funds on which Red Cross relied in part last year means that the Society depends on a 40 per cent increase in voluntary contributions in order to carry on its 1949 peacetime pro- gram," Mr. Winter pointed out. The national appeal for 55.000900 opens February 28, continuing through the month of March.

"Surplus war funds have been used entirely in previous years for aid to veterans and for overseas relief and administration," he said. “This year a larger proportion of all requirements must come from the citizens of Canada."

The free National Blood Trans- fusion Service will be extended to benefit a population nearly four times that served in 1948. A total of $1,447,359 has been budgeted for this service. .

Outpost and Crippled Children's Hospital services will take $1.028.- 611. Services to war veterans will cost 8553.343; services for civilian and disaster relief, '“ l, denial and nursing, highway first aid posts and health work will total $447,200; instruction and research services including Home Nursing, a Nursing School, First Aid, Swim- ming and Water Safety, Nutrition and Junior Red Cross, $510,325.

Secrecy Marks Opening 0f Spy Trial in Germany

MUNICH. Feb. i6 — (AP) — Secrecy imposed for reasons un- known even to Gen. Lucius D. Clay masked the opening of s. spy trial before a United States Military Commission here today.

Clay, United States military governor in Germany. ordered an investigation from his headquart- ers ln Frankfurt. He said he would order an open trial unless the court convinces him the secrecy is necessary.

(In Washington Army Secretary Kenneth Royall said he had called for a. report on the trial. “Only the most important security con- sideration _could justify such secrecy," he said.)

A handcuffed man. dsrk-tisirod. pale and slender and about 80 years old. is believed to be the sole defendant in this first of a series of five related spy trials.

His identity was kept a secret and the commission hse announced it never will disclose its verdict. which may be the death penalty. The man is believed to be a Czech, one of about 20 persons charged wiili spying for the Communist Czechoslovak Government. Five trials, in all, are scheduled.

Ashen and tense. the man was seen standing alone in the tightly- guanied trial room when a door opened early in the trial.

Clay, learning of the unusual secrecy. said he feared forces un- friendly to the United States would seize upon such a trial policy for propaganda purposes.
