Russian Minority Is Self Imposed Marshall Says
Paris, Sept. 24—(UP)—Russia rejected today an invitation by Secretary of State George C. Marshall to abandon the "self imposed minority" of the Soviets in the United Nations.
The Russians carried to the floor of the general assembly their futile fight to restrict assembly debate and eliminate from its program five items, most of which Secretary Marshall had urged for consideration.
The Soviets lost a similar fight in the steering committee. Thursday. They were voted down 12 to 2 on each issue. But Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate, reopened the fight today when the agenda came before the full assembly for adoption.
Delegate Malik insisted that the assembly delete from the program the questions of elimination of the veto on admission of new U.N. members, Greece, Korea, the "little assembly," and a Chilean proposal accusing the Russians of violating basic human rights.
He warned that inclusion of such items would bode ill for the U.N.
Mr. Marshall held out an olive branch to the Russians Thursday on many issues. He deployed the Russian refusal to cooperate in such U.N. ventures as the Korean and Balkan commissions, and the interim assembly. He told the Russians that their minority position was self-imposed, and nations consistently in the minority would be welcomed into the majority.
Mr. Malik's address, and advance word that Andrei Vishinsky, chief Soviet delegate, was preparing an attack on the West showed that the Russians had chosen to ignore Mr. Marshall's invitation.
Earlier today, Mr. Marshall and Foreign Secretary Ernst Bevin of Great Britain discussed what to do about Berlin if the Russians gave an unsatisfactory reply to a "show-down" note from the west.

Number One Lobbyist Debunks Champagne Myth
Bv Harman W. Nichols
Ton.
Washington, Sept. 24—(UP)—You think of a lobbyist as you who sneaks out from behind a potted palm every once in a while to pitch a heckuva cocktail party that'll be talked about.
The sort of a gardenia-in-buttonhole person who makes two or three times the salary of the congressmen he's paid to influence, on this bill or that.
This version however doesn't fit old Ben Marsh. He doesn't pour champagne down his own gullet and can't figure the percentage in dumping it down anybody else's.
"No way to influence people," he says.
Ben, who is gray, skinny wrinkled, and extremely active for one pushing 72, makes $1,800 a year, he has resisted all attempts of the people's lobby, which he represents, to up his salary. Ben says his pay is about the average of those he represents. And, he wants it to stay that way.
well, for the people. It stands for public ownership of natural resources, paying the cost of government by taxation on the basis of ability to pay, government direction of farm production, ect. It doesn't go around begging but accepts contributions. Many of its directors and council members are professors of economics at the big universities.
He's been a lobbyist in Washington for over 30 years, and in his book, he is the nations number one lobbyist.
But mostly, the people's lobby is Benjamin C. Marsh, the executive secretary.
Don't get me wrong. Mr. Marsh a lovable, talkative old man is no crackpot. He is respected for his honesty and straight-forwardness. And he can turn a prettier phrase than many of his younger colleagues.
Here Are Hours To Cash Checks
The common people are the good friends of Ben and his people's lobby. Just ask him.
