But Marshall would not reveal at a news conference whether the western strategy calls for the American, British and French ambassadors to Moscow to take up the issue with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov. Face Ixws of Money "Now many Berlin Individuals and firms are faced with a prospect of losing their money if they can't get to pay windows after hours of waiting. Unless the Russians decide to extend the exchange period, this will be the case.

Only two conclusions can be drawn. Either the Russians don't want to pay everybody and thus again reduce the amount of money in circulation, or they didn't realize what a big task they were facing and were unwittingly unprepared to handle It." The Russian note exchange was proclaimed as the final phase of their currency reform for eastern Germany and Berlin. When they announced their program last Saturday, the Russians asserted they had no new money ready, so they effected it by pasting distinguishing coupons on the old notes left in circulation. At one bank, the exchange process was so slow that only 27 persons received new money in two days. Say V.

S. Faces Collajne Russian controlled newspapers told the Germans President Truman's message to congress yesterday "proves that the United States is faced with economic collapse." The Communist press said Mr. Truman's plea for anti-inflation laws meant the U. S. could not support the European Recovery Program.

Mayor Schoeder. gray and frail, wrote Alexander Koti-kov. the Russian commandant for Berlin, she could not accept his contention that Markgraf still holds office as Berlin police chief.

Disorders erupted at several places among the crowds clamoring to get the new money. When police could not handle the milling throngs, firemen turned water on the people.

The disturbances started when the anxious Germans preyed forward and started stampedes after standing for hours In lines. No serious injury was reported. Scandalous 'Conduct Charged Newspapers in western Berlin said the Russians and their German economic commission were guilty of "scandalous and unscrupulous conduct in the money exchange. They charged discrimination was being exercised against residents of the American. British and French sectors.

Many of these were told their money was "forged" and worthless. American military government finance officers, refuting Russian charges that the city government was to blame, said the city government, with approval of the three western commanders, had offered to open exchange offices in western Berlin, as well as in the Soviet zone. The Russians rejected the offer. "German bankers in the Soviet sector warned the Russians In advance their preparations for han are: luncheon ar.ri wrv" Gregory; reception. Fv.

Wherry said he has not worked out any informal agreement with southern Democrats to delay start of a civil rights battle until tomorrow. Other Republicans reported a majority agreement to go along with the plans of leaders to adjourn as -soon as possible" probably next week or the week after.

To Let Voters Decide As the Republican leaders laid plans for a speedy adjournment, they announced complete willingness to let the voters decide in November whether they had done the right thing. Democrats promptly shouted. "Sabotage." They accused the majority party of setting out deliberately to wreck the President's program for anti-inflation and housing leeislation which he pleaded for yesterday to avert "another great depression." Privately some Republicans questioned the wisdom of their leaders' strategy, which Republican Senator Robertson of Wyoming said had been arrived at after consultation with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the party's presidential nominee.

Dewey Advice Relayed Robertson emerged from a meeting of the senate's Republican policy committee late yesterday and told newsmen Chairman Taft of Ohio had relayed the advice from Dewey to "stay around a week or so and then go home." This report was relayed in turn to James Haeerty. Dewey's press secretary, at Pawling. N. Y. Hagerty at first said Dewey had no comment, but a little later announced: "The governor feels that the congress should stay in Washington and give careful consideration to whatever was proposed in the President's message."

The Republicans do not plan to "open the Pandora's box" of routine legislation dealing with such thir.es as nnrmna'inns or new appropriations which "would add to the fires of inflation." 7.

Congress will study the President's anti-inflation proposals, but probably won't do anything about them, since he already has effective powers which he is not using. Government controls, "the police state methods decried by President Truman himself, would only make the situation worse." New housing legislation also will be considered. But the legislation already passed "practically exhausts the materials and labor available for the purpose." Anything more licity. E. H.

They said they got on a car and rode to the scene. "Miners' bodies were thrown all around," Sharp said. "Some of them were being removed. It was a horrible thing." Sharp said he had "a premonition" before going to work yesterday and "sort of sensed a disaster might occur." He has worked at the mine since 1929. Fred Shettler of Princeton, mine electrician, said he had no idea what caused the explosion.
