Russians to Discourage Japanese Entry into NATO-Style Agreement By EDDY GILMORE MOSCOW (AP)—Russia is going to exert great effort to keep Japan out of any Pacific version of the North Atlantic Alliance. This is the emphatic opinion of a number of persons who closely follow the foreign policy of the USSR. Witnesses to the reaction here of efforts to get Germany into a European army, these observers say the Soviets object just as strongly to Japanese military units being drawn into any American-sponsored or American-led bloc in the Far East. Already there are rumblings here about what may be underway, or about to get under way in the Pacific. This was particularly true when Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies made his recent trip to Washington London. THE RUSSIANS are highly suspicious that Menzies is the first runner for a race to get Japan into a Pacific military alliance built along the lines of NATO. The Moscow press has already begun to write about the issue “USA creating an aggressive Pacific pact,” said a recent high line carried by most papers of capital over a Tass dispatch of New York.

Eisenhower today that the general will carry Illinois in the November presidential election even if the Democrats draft Gov. Adlai Stevenson to head their ticket. Brooks, Republican national committeeman from Illinois—conferred with Eisenhower — the GOP presidential nominee — at the general’s Blackstone hotel headquarters. Brooks noted that the 60-vote Illinois delegation to last week's Republican convention had lined up 50 for Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and one for Eisenhower. Brooks told newsmen that despite that situation, Illinois party workers will give Eisenhower wholehearted support. Before seeing Eisenhower, Brooks said if Stevenson is not drafted by the Democrats, he will be defeated by the Republicans in his bid for reelection as governor. Stevenson has left the door open for a presidential draft, but has insisted repeatedly he is in Two Billion Dollar Construction Act Two Billion Dollar Construction Act Approved by HST WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman today approved an act authorizing $2,398,282,800 for military construction—mostly secret air bases. But the new law also provides for closer controls over military spending. The act is merely an authorization for the construction program. The actual appropriation in a separate bill, amounted to $2,288,000,000, about 740 million short of Truman's recommendation. The authorization act approves $328,047,800 for the army, $256,875,000 for the navy and $1,813,360,000 for the air force. Most of the air force fund is tabbed for secret airfields from Japan to Europe. They are for use by U.S. forces and are separate from fields to be used by mutual security forces. The law carries a requirement that military chiefs must obtain approval by both the senate and house armed services committees before they can go ahead with classified or secret projects. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Truman suffered a mild virus infection today and had to cancel all his appointments. Before seeing Eisenhower, Brooks said if Stevenson is not drafted by the Democrats, he will be defeated by the Republicans in his bid for reelection as governor. Stevenson has left the door open for a presidential draft, but has insisted repeatedly he is interested only in reelection as governor. Brooks said Stevenson could not be reelected "because of his administration of affairs over the state and his apparent inability to choose people who will not allow such things as the horse meat scandal and the cigarette tax scandal." Civvy Air Watchers Undertake 24 Hour Vigil at Posts WASHINGTON (AP) — Civilian volunteers manned watching posts over the northern United States today in a round the clock vigil against sneak air attacks—but there were big gaps in the warning screen.

The shortage was quickly apparent. Volunteers showed up at only half of Ohio’s 630 observation posts.

Johnson of Colorado said today Vice President Alben Barkley is "the man to beat" in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination. Johnson himself is supporting the candidacy of Sen. Richard Russell, of Georgia. In a news conference today, however, Johnson said he believes Barkley's wide popularity with Democratic leaders and the rank and file will thrust the vice president into a formidable position in the balloting.

(P)—The government today lifted controls on nearly all canned and frozen fruits and vegetables. Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall predicted this will mean higher prices for a number of items. Arnall noted in a statement that the office of price stabilization was forced to take the decontrol action under an amendment congress tacked on the economic controls law. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Harrison (D-Va.) specifically exempted "fruits and vegetables in fresh or processed form from price control." The exemption actually became effective July 15 but OPS officials had been studying the field to determine how broad the exemption should be. An OPS official estimated the exemption applies to at least 90 per cent of all processed fruits and vegetables. He added that the exemption... Mystery Slayer Shoots to Death Blonde Columbia University Coed NEW YORK. (P)—A young, beautiful blonde was shot to death at Columbia university today as she sat at her desk sipping a glass of orange juice. Her tall, unidentified slayer paused as he fled to tell a skirted professor: "I shot a girl in there." Thousands of students were streaming to morning classes when the man strode into a ninth floor office of the physics labor building and pumped four bullets into Miss Elleen Fahey, 20, New York city. She toppled from her chair, the unfinished orange juice still on the desk—and two letters from her GI boy friend still unopened. Police suspected the slayer was a civilian sultor, maddened with jealousy over the pretty Miss Fahey's boy friend in Korea. Besides the professor, a half dozen students and others encountered the killer as he left the office, a 22 automatic in his hand. Mrs. J. V. Lumley, a secretary-teacher who worked with Miss Fahey in the office of the American Physical society, said she had stepped out of the office for a few moments, when she heard a series of shots. As she rushed back toward the office, she said, a tall, thin man emerged. He waved a smoking gun toward the office, and said: "Call an ambulance. I've shot a girl." Miss Fahey was hit twice in the chest and twice in the right arm. Police said two other shots went wild.
