GUARDS along WASHINGTON (P) The United States put all nations on notice today to keep their ships, planes and people out of the Eni-wetok atomic weapons testing area, starting one month from now. The state department was busy relaying to embassies and legations a formal warning from the atomic energy commission. In something of an understatement, that notice said hazards will exist in a 39.000-square mile area surrounding the Pacific atoll beginning Jan. 31 and throughout the calendar year 1948.

THE TOTAL AREA is- roughly half that set aside for the Bikini atom bomb experiments of 1946. However, the commissions announcement said that if necessary, warnings of any hazards outside the designated danger area win be given in the event that such dangers are createdby activities con ducted within the danger area. This was taken to mean that the 39.000-square mile area is a zone, to be expanded temporarily as tests are conducted. Winds and currents, which might carry ardio-active clouds or water, generall move westward from the Marshall islands through most of the year. The U.N.

was notified of this countrys intention to create a restricted zone around the Eniwetok area a month ago when the Unted States publicly disclosed selection of the atoll for its atomic proving grounds site. 1 While energy commission officials described the latest notice as simply a safety measure, it nevertheless will serve to advise all countries how close any curious observer might approach to the highly secret cluster of coral islands where the United States will try out new atomic weapons. THE POSSIBILITY of any long range peeping is pretty much confined to ships or submarines. Aid-planes of any foreign power would have to travel so far to reach the area that it is unlikely that method of unsanctioned observation might be attempted. Surface ships are conspicuous.

And that leaves submarines. Officials are not ready to say what methods of preserving military security, aside the tight control of persons traveling to Eniwetok on official business, will be used. The mosrobvious method Is the close and constant surveillance of the area by naval and air patrol, with ships and aircraft equipped with radar and underwater listening devices to spot the approach of unauthorized vessels or planes. ing prowess won out in a tight 4- ALTHOUGH MOLOTOV ulett. said: 71 that the London conference was iudes dlscarded thelr tradl: failure, he denied that it fruitless.

ASSERTING THAT both parties place impediments in the way of the peoples prosperity, Wallace said it was time to take the offen sive. It is time for the people to regain the control of their own destiny, he cried. The American people must have a new and effective means for political expression. He charged that Wall -the press and the state department had been blinding the American people to Americas intervention in Europe and American imperialism with the result that the people of Europe dislike Americans.

The people of the world must see that there is another America than this Wall street dominated, military-backed group that is blackenjng the name of American democracy all over the world, he declared. WALLACE STATED he liked the Marshall plan when it was first proposed and hoped then the Trir-man doctrine would be scrapped But since the Truman doctrine is the core of the Marshall plan, it is now only a plan to interfere in the social, economic, political affairs of countries receiving he said. America has already spent 30 billions when this could be used for building houses and schools and hospitals and roads In this country, he stated. Instead of helping the people of Europe produce for peace, we are diverting them to produce goods for wrar, he said-. The bipartisan coalition has allied the American people with kings.

Fascists, and reactionaries, Wallace stated. I was against and shall always be against sending guns to people who want plows and tanks to people who want tractors. The Russians certainly arent blameless for the cold war. But even if wef should accept every charge made against the Russians it does not excuse an American policy which runs contrary to American principles. the London session was fruitless, although this does not correspond to the facts.

WASHINGTON (A5) Pres. Truman said today he does not think Brig. Gen. Wallace H. Graham did any wrong when Grahams broker speculated in wheat futures on his account.

Mr. Truman made that statement when reporters brought up at a news conference the agriculture departments disclosure Monday that Graham had a speculative wheat holding last September.

lie said he squezzed out of his cell and went to cell tier 3 where he released John Klinger (Klinger at Fitchburg Home HE CHARGED AGAIN that the western powers, led by the United States, were following a policy aimed at Germany's disintegration rather than unity, a policy which has already resulted in the actual splitting of Germany. This American plan, he continued, utterly disregards the interests of other states which participated in the anti-Hitler coalition. It is aimed at abolishing the Potsdam agreement) Which conforms to the interest of peace and security of the nations of Europe. The reason wh the United States wants to maintains the present unsettled conditions in Germany as long as possible, Molotov said, was that when a state of war has not yet been terminated, one can without any scruples dictate to Germans any recipes for trdhtment of the German economy, imposing upon these very Germans any obligations in payment for this so-called aid. This was an obvious thrust at the Marshall plan for aid to Europe, which the Communists are dedicated to defeat.

Marshall, in his Dec. 19 report, commented that Molotovs statements in London seemed to Indicate that he regard ed the conference as an opportunity for propaganda declarations which would be pleasant to German ears. -MOLOTOV SUGGESTED that American policy in Europe was dictated by fear that Germany will re-establish herself as an ef-f fective competitor in world mar kets, in which American monopolies and their affiliates in Europe are seeking to dictate their will. We are told that either the proposed American plan for Germany must be carried out or even paper agreements on peace treaties cannot be concluded, he Such frankness is useful for clarifying the present situation. It follows from this that the United States conditions the restoration of complete peace in Europe either (on) acceptance of this anti-Democratic plan unreservedly as it is dictated by American expansionists or there will be no agreements concerning peace treaties that Is.

restoration of peace in Europe will not be completed. He said the western powers did not regard the problem of a German peace settlement a vital at the London conference and also hit hard at the frequently rumored merger of the French occupation one of Germany with the already economically merged United States and British zones. The Russian foreign minister declared that economic dependence of the western part of Germany on foreign capital will grow still more, although even now quite a few German factories have been bought up fora song by foreign monopolists. The American plan, he changed. Reflects a desire to convert western Germany into a base for extending the influence of American Imperialism In Europe.
