To stop the drift toward irreconeflable conflict, Mr. Marshall was ready to make reasonable concessions or to accept any just come promise, Here's Compromise Offer This was the bargain Mr, Marshall intended to propose: Russia would get the reparations from current German production which she has demanded and the U. 8. has opposed. But such payments would have a No, 3 instead of No, 1 priority on surplus exports—coming after payment for imports of food and raw materials to make Germany selfsustaining, and after repayment of

Unification Is Essential to Plan
In exchange for reparations from current production,‘and the higher level of industry required for that, Russia would agree economic unification but political decentralization of Germany. Moreover, Russia would agree to a four-power pact proposed by former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Mr. Marshall, This guarantee against a revival

If Russia accepted the above reparations concessions she was expected to give up the Austrian property and assets which she is holding for her German reparations account. That would speed an Austrian treaty here.

fense sought to imply that Mrs. McConnell might have inadvertantly taken mercury herself, The defense suggested that possible sources of mercury could have been calomel, patent medicine and certain facial preparations. « Dr. Harger admitted that most of these preparations could leave a mercury deposit in a person's body. Speaking of calomel, however, he sald, “It would take a whale of a lot of calomel to put as much mercury into Mrs. McConnell’s body as I found in my. first test of her body fluids. In fact I don't think it would be possible.”
