Russia Ready To Negotiate On Lend-Lease Soviet Ambassador Says Russia Ready To Settle Bills ’ Washington. Jan. 16 — (UP) — Russia is ready to resume negotiationi; with the United States to setI tie the Soviet Union’s >11,297,000,000 lend-lease bill. Soviet ambassador Alexander S. Panyushkin i disclosed today. Panyushkin made the statement I following a 15-minute call on undersecretary of state Robert A. Lovett. ; He would not say whether the lendlease matter was discussed, or give any other detail of the brief meeting. Asked whether Russia was ready ’ to resume the lend-lease negotia-i tions which were broken off here' in late July. Panyushkin replied through an interpreter: “Yes, the Soviet Union 13 ready.” In response to another question, Panyushkin said the Soviet-Ameri-can talks on the problem would be resumed “in the near future.” The short, curly-haired Soviet envoy arrived at the state 'department with his interpreter some five minutes late for hte appointment. He was attired in a black business suit, a long Russian overcoat and a Homburg hat. The Soviet - American lend-lease talks adjourned six months ago when former Soviet ambassador Nikolai returned to Moscow be-

' cause of ill health. State department officials for some time have expressed their ■wishes that the Soviet account be i settled as soon as possible. During I the past six months several Infor- | mal approaches have been made to I the Soviet embassy in an effort to I get the talks moving again.

.180,000 Germans In r Ruhr Stage Strike , ’ Threat Os General Strike Is Averted Berlin. Jan. 16.—(UP)— Reports from Duesseldorf said today that 80.000 German steel, dock and rail - j workers began a 24-hour strike in 11 the Ruhr this morning but that the - threatened 4.OOO.OO(7-man general ■ | strike apparently had fizzled out. The strikers walked out at Duis- ■ burg and Muehlheim as some 24.800 I other strikers returned to work at •' Oberhausen. ' German union officials said that ■ skeleton crews would stay on the | job and dock workers agreed to unload any food barges. Both strikes, described as a protest against poor food conditions, are scheduled to I end at 6 a.m. Saturday. German union leaders failed to ’ press their demand for more food | as the only alternative to a general strike in daylong meetings with British brigadier J. A. Barracough. acting regional commis-j sioner of the Ruhr. However, 100,000 steelworkers announced they would stage a 24hour punger protest strike. The Germans' demand that more food be biought into the Ruhr in, exchange for Ruhr coal was refused flatly by Barracough. He said I the present German ration of 1,550, i calories could be met by present | | imports and stocks on farms. The Germans were told it was their responsibility to see that food on farms was channeled into legitimate markets so it would reach | the general population. Hans Schlange-Schoingen, bizonal food chief, took the first step to force hoarded food into the open by announcing that all fats and meat in the two zones would be distributed in the Ruhr only for the next week. The Ruhr has seen

none of either for weeks. Heinrich Luebke, minister of, ( food in the Ruhr, predicted that | industrial workers from the cities 11 . would make mass raids to seize : j | secret food caches held by farmers I = I in the country. Observers here were unable toI I assess relationship between failure; j of the threatened general strike j and alleged discovery of the cloak = and dagger document “Protocol M,” ■ | which the British insisted was a I . Communist plot to wreck the Mar- j shall plan by strikes. Reports from the London press I hinted that British foreign minister I Ernest Bevin was studying the j document along with other high | government officials. j "7 ’SUSS » ” W fIMM ~ ■» ■mb «■ tssß O-’WSK ■ r 1H Hg Ml raRR JRSMgS ti t 1 w~ Wa ; f .,11 Bfe- : PRESIDENT Harry S.

Gandhi, too weak to rise from his bed. appeared to be winning his battle against violence today as the Indian government made two concessions to Pakistan . and Hindu-Moslem peace. The Indian cabinet, attempting ; to get Gandhi to breaK h’.s fast, announced that it would resume suspended independence payments to Pakistan and permit a plebiscite in the disputed state of Junagadh. Demonstrations for peace inI creased in the street of New Delhi as Gandhi entered the fourth day lof his fast. Shouts against Gandhi ■ were fewer. The 78-year-old Hindu spiritual leader rose as.usual j£is morning for prayers, but then, so weak he cannot walk alone, returned to his bed. He was then carried out to the garden of the Palatial Birla estate where he is fasting. Indian premier Jawaharal Nehru talked earnestly with Gandhi for 40 minutes today, evidently pleading with him to abandon his fast before it takes his life. Nehru looked grave when he left. Doctors examined Gandhi this morning and pronounced him in good condition despite his weak-

ness. The payments and other terms of
