United Press Staff Correspondent "WASHINGTON, April 29.—Soviet Russia received another American warning today that the United Btates is thrown with appeasement and “agreement for agreement'’s sake.” Secretary of State George C. Marshall delivered the warning in| emphasizing anew the need for early peace treaties for Germany and Austria.

However, a third candidate, Patrick J. Delaney, has moved up rapidly and is’ politically better known throughout the city than either Mr. Seidensticker or Mrs. Beasley.
