LONDON. April 1 - (Friday) — (AP) - The Soviet Union charged today_the North Atlantic treaty is "'open1y aggressive," ls directed against her and breaks five inter- national agreements.

The official Soviet news agency Tam said the ‘Russian position was transmitted to the seven coun- tries sponsoring the treaty in a memorandum Thursday.

The Soviet Foreign through its ambassadors gave these conclusions to the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg:

Ministry

l. The Atlantic treaty has an openly aggressive character and is directed against the Soviet union;

2. The treaty runs counter to the United Nations charter.

3. It violates the Anglo- Soviet treaty. the Franco- Scviet treaty and the Yalta and Potsdam agreements.

The protest was in the ion-n of a menwrandum which noted that Britain, the United States and France are parties to the ‘ treaty and only the soviet Union amonii the great powers 1s excluded.

This, it. said. "can be ' explained by the fact this treaty is directed against the Soviet Union."

New Treatment H it 9i. i-iiiiii Being Tested

WASHINGTON. March 31 --(AP) — A new and promising treatment for lung tuberculosis has been de- veloped by United Ststes army researchers. They emphasize, how- ever. that man more gases will have to be treated before it can be definitely appraised.

The method is a medical vari- ation of the "old one-two punch" of the prize ring. using tuber- culin — e poisonous but controll- able substance derived from tuber- culosis germs - and streptomycin. one cf the so-cailed "wonder drugs." I

In effect, the tuberculin delivers s softening-up punch by opening up ‘blood pathways thlt have been wholly or partially blocked by diseased tissue. Then streptomycin steps in to deliver the pay - off waliop. y

Streptomycin is the most effect- ive drug weapon yet discovered against tuberculosisgerms. In as- ‘ tion with tuberculin, it is able to reach and overcome more germs than when used alone. the researchers say.

The doctors ssy that so far l0 cases, involving all of the various phases of , ' sry tuberculosis. have been treated by the new method and that in eight cf them all symptoms have been cleared in two months. No relapses were noted in nearly a year of observat- ion.-

The usual time_ required to cut-imam symptmtns with strep- tomycin alone is much longer. and

relapses are frequent. The army doctors are permitting their patients to be out. cf bed

during tr stnient. when there are no compli etlcns.

Mild exercise helps to keep the

"caves" open. After the drug treat- ment is completed, however. the patients are advised to take things easy for a while. I

(By John LeBllnc) OTTAWA. March 31- (CP)—A general tie-up of Canadian-flag deep-sen shipping on the sast coast was ordered today by the Canadian Sesmenu Union (T.L.C.l after it learned shipowners had signed with a rival union. ' Close to 90 vessels now manned- by about 3,000 C.S.U. members will be hit eventually by the strike. union president Harry Davis of Montreal declared after lending out the ‘immediately-effective strike call from here at 5.30 p.m. EST.

Six ships in Maritime ports, in- cluding the aiready-strlkehcund passenger liner Lady Rodney cf the Canadian National Steamships, now are affected. The others, on the high seas or in non-Canadian ports. may not be reached by the strike until they come back to Canada.

BOSTON. March s1 - (C!) '- ». But for the atomic bomb. all Europe would have been bom- munist and London under bomb~ ardment some time ago. Winston Churchill said tonight. ‘

The wartime prime ministal bluntly accused thei"l3 rnen in the Kremlin" of “aiming at the fllle of the world." He said they, "fear the friendship of the West more than its hostility." He described the "atomic bainl in the hands of the United ltates" as “the deterrent."

Churchill's speech, brcsdcasl through the United States, and. Canada and overseas — was pre~ pared for delivery at a mid- csntury convocation of the Mall-i achuset‘ Institute of technology whose scientists helped develop ti!‘ atom bomb.

"War is not inevitable," the ‘HI year-old Churchill told a dile- tlngulshed audience of scientists, diplomats and educaticnists in ‘ Boston Garden. I» He recalled that in a speech l. Fulton, Mo, in April, 1M8. he said: "Do not suppose that half a century from now you will not sea seventy or eighty millions of Britons spread about the world and united in doe fence cf our traditions. our ws_ of life. and the world causes w you and we espouse." ~, .
