The only Stalin Accuses Former Ally ofl W armoiigeri , LONDON, March 13 -IA')- Mar- shal Stalin today charged Winston Churchill with working for a "war with the U. S, S. R." and accused his former associate in the Big Three of telling "lies" in his recent Fulton, Mo., address. Further, Stalin declared in a rare interview in Pravda, Communist Party newspaper, that Churchill and "his friends in England and -the United States" are promoting a Hit- lerite "race theory" of world domina- tion by the English-speaking peo- ples under the threat of war "it is obvious that Mr. Churchill aims for war, with a view to war NEW YORK, March 13-(/)- The mutual broadcasting system said tonight that Winston Church- ill on Friday night would discuss "latest developments" in onnectioii with tihe speech he mad at. Filton, Mo,, last week. with the U. S. S. R.." Stalin said. "He is trying to mislead hi.; listeners by saying that the perioc' of agree- ment between England an i the U, S. S. R. (a 20-year friendsl ip treaty) can be prolonged up to 50 years. "But how can one take this state- ment while at the same time he is laying the groundwork for war a- gainst the U. S. S.

Hailing the settlement as a union victory, UAW-CIO top officials said "other economic clauses," including improved vacation pay, improved over- time rates and equal pay for women, "brings the total average hourly in- crease well above 1912 cents" which --- -- -- -- - - ~~ the union had demanded. "Well, that's the union's interpreta- tion, G-M vice-president Harry W Anderson said to the press yesterday. "As a matter of fact, no one knows what the adjustments will amount to. They're to be dealt with on a local level and until they are, the amount yannot be determined." General Motors said the contract to be signed would run for two years; that the flat increase of 18% cents hourly would apply to all wage classi- fication rates effective with the date of ratification by the union and that all employes who worked between Nov. 7, 1945, two weeks before the strike was called and the date of rati- fication shall receive an increase of 131/2 cents an hour for all hours worked between those dates. The union, in its statement, said the corporation had agreed to grant the general increase to all miscellane- ous units of employes, represented by the UAW-CIO, including office and clerical workers, technicians, plant protection employes and other such groups. Reuther expressed the opinion the workers could start back to their jobs within a week following ratification of the settlement proposal. General Mo- tors made no comment. Auto Workers Still Picketing- DETROIT, March 13-(P)-Despite agreement between General Motors and the CIO United Auto Workers leaders on strike settlement terms, union pickets at GM's idle Detroit plants today still trod their weary beats-expressing determination to stay out of the factories until local grievances are adjudicated and a national contract ratified. Local leaders generally expressed the opinion that their demands could be negotiated quickly with individual plant management, but hastened to add that there would be no letup in picketing. Schwellenbachz Predicts Peace WASHINGTON, March 13-(P)- Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach to- day described the General Motors strike settlement as the "most signi- ficant" of any reached during current labor disputes and said it pointed the way toward industrial peace. "The issues have been resolved by true collective bargaining," he said. "With many thousand workers in- volved, and with numerous plants in many localities, some of the questions at issue did not lend themselves to real solutions." Truman Withdraws Pauley Nomination WASHINGTON, March 13-(/P)- President Truman withdrew Edwin W. Pauley's nomination for Under-. secretary of the Navy today with a final vigorous defense of Pauley's "integrity and ability." His "Dear Ed" Pauley thus went the way of President Roosevelt's "Dear Ed" Flynn. Sweeping Vicjry . . - Commenting on the General Mo- tors strike settlement as a "sweep- ing victory for labor," Prof. Clarl Dickinson of the economics de- partment said the agreement "will involve a limited inflation, which we hope will be held by the gov- ernment price policy." "It will no doubt bring an in- crease in prices," he said. Electric trike Settled by 11 /2 cet Inre ase Wage Raise Pendinig Formal Acceptance NEW YORK, March 13 --/P)- The General Electric Company and the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America, CIO, tonight announced the end of a 57-day strike by agreeing to a wage increase of 18.5 cents an hour.

V4 2, NROTC Future Status Is Announced Future status of V-12 and NROTC students here following the close of the NROTC program July 1, 1946, was revealed yesterday by Capt. Woodson Michaux, commandant of tihe University unit. V-12 students will be commissioned' if they desire to transfer to the reg- ular Navy and are qualified. Those not wishing to transfer may apply for active duty. Members of the NROTC, who have completed seven or eight semesters of college train- ing, may be recommended for com- missioning provided they have the necessary requirements for a degree and provided they have at least 120 hours of academic work including 24 hours of Naval Science. Those NROTC's who request trans- fer to the Regular Navy will be as- signed to duty if the Navy has use- ful billet for them. Students with seven semesters de- siring to continue in NROTC before commissioning will be discharged or placed on inactive duty in order to complete their training on a peace- time basis. Measures concerning Naval per- sonnel with less than seven semes- ters in the NROTC program are as follows: continue in the new peace- time program; assignment to gene- ral duty: discharge if eligible before Sept. 1, 1946 when the Navy will be completely demobilized, or transfer to V-5 for flight training on active duty. Marine trainees, who have com- pleted seven or eight semesters and who wish to transfer to the regular Marine Corps will be assigned to duty pending assignment to the Basic School. Those completing less than seven semesters have the following options: assignment to inactive en- listed status as members of an NROTC unit to which they are eligible or discharge if eligible. Requirements for Marine students will be the same as those for NROTC students because the Marine program is being absorbed by the NROTC pro- gram. Students who wish to continue their studies as members of the peacetime NROTC program in 52 colleges and universities throughout the country may attend the school of their choice if they are accepted after personally seeking admission.

Describing Atom-Powered Aircraft Seen B E. T. Vincent "Atomic energy can probably be used in aircraft propulsion as soon as adequate control of the atomic proc- ess is developed," Prof. E. T. Vincent of the Department of Mechanical En- gineering predicted in his talk be- fore the members of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences last night. Until all of the facts about atomic energy are released, Prof. Vincent said, we cannot predict how soon atomic-powered aircraft will be de- veloped. He pointed out that such aircraft are still some distance in the future. How far in the future de- pends on who works on the problem, how and when they begin to work, and how much money is spent on the project. At the present time we are probably reaching the limits of the speed of ordinary combustion, Prof. Vincent commented.
