IS AIDING RUSSIA, SAYS SENATOR JENNER Washington, D. C., May 15 — The major blueprint of the Politburo in Moscow calls for self-destruc-tion of private enterprise and western civilization, Senator William E. Jenner (R. Ind.) declared in an address prepared for delivery over a series of Indiana radio stations. Senator Jenner said in the address that the “secret agreement” made during and following the last world war “tore the economic foundations of the European and Asiatic economies in two and turned over to Russia everything which we were supposed to have gained from the first and second World War.” The Junior Indiana Senator said: “The only'sensible thing for us to have done was to try to help reorganize the world outside the Russian sphere on a realistic basis.” Senator Jenner, speaking on the weekly program conducted over the Indiana chain of stations by Indiana Senator Homer E. Capehart, said that Secretary of State Dean Acheson has “admitted that there has been no relation between what the State Department’s right hand has been doing in Europe and what its left hand has been doing in Asia ” The Senator reiterated on the program a charge he made previously oh the Senate floor that “The Marshall Plan has been fiancin the destruction of German and Japanese industry and of the German and Japanese markets.” He also charged that the Marshall Plan has been “financing the destruction of genuine European recovery and integration” and added the charge that “it has been financing the growth of Soialism and the destruction Os the private enterprise system.” Senator Jenner concluded this charge against EC A: “It has been syphoning three billion dollars worth of goods a year to Russia through 96 separate trade pacts and has not been able to achieve enough economic recovery for European nations to be able to make even their first down payment of their commitments under the North Atlantic Pact.” He recalled that Russia and her satellite countries were first invited to participate in the Marshall Plan. ■» Case Dismissed The divorce action of Lyle H. Kell against Mary F Kell has been dismissed in circuit court on motion of the plaintiff.
