TAFT DEMANDING 910 1 RATIO FOR TROOPS, EUROPE WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—(®—Sen- ator Taft (R-Ohio) demanded in \the Senate today that the United | States contribute no more than one division to every nine raised by western Europe for its defense. Taft, who heads the Senate GOP Policy Committee, challenged the Truman administration to submit a definite program for sending troops to Europe. He said reports made by GenY Dwight D, Eisenhower since his survey of Europe have only made the project for shoring up defenses against possible Communist attack “more hazy and indefinite and un- certain in outline than it was be- 12 below for his return.” For his part, Taft said, he will propose an amendment to any leg- islation under which no more than 20 percent of American ground forces and no more than 10 per cent of U. S. airforces could be stationed there. ARC CHIEFS DIST.

LEND - LEASE T0 RUSSIANS 15 UP AG AIN WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 —M—The | United States has formally demand- | ed that Russia immediately return 672 lend-lease naval and merchant shops loaned her during World War II The State Department disclosed that the demand was made in a| note handed yesterday to Soviet | Ambassador Alexander S. Panyush- | kin. Panyushkin is representing his | country in the latest of & series of so-far fruitless lend-lease talks. The U. S. is asking Russia to pay $800,000,000 in settlement of a war- time account of $10,800,000,000. Rus- | sia reportedly has made a “final offer” of $240,000,000. Officials said Russian representa- tives have refused to discuss return of the ships, insisting their gov- ernment wants to buy the vessels. They include 87 merchant ships. The U. S. refuses to sell them un- less the Russians settle their over- all lend-lease account. These developments were made public after the Russian newspaper Pravda accused the U. S. of trying to sabotage the talks. The paper said Britain was given a better deal than that offered Russia. SALT LAKE VISITOR Mrs. Alida C. Dixon of Salt Lake City, is stopping at the Baranof Hotel.
