Washington, July 1.
General George C. Marshall, Secretary of State, today branded as "fantastic misrepresentation and malicious distortion" the propaganda assertions that the United States has imperialistic aims or is at- tempting to enforce political and economic domina- tion in its schemes for aiding Europe,
Angrily attacking what he "termed the "purposeful misrepresentation" of the degree and purpose of American economic assistance, he declared in a speech to the Women's National Press Club hero: "Those responsible for this misrepresentation are doing a grave disservice to the suf- fering peoples whose future depends directly on the success of international co-operation in the economic field.”
Gen. Marshall made no direct "There could be no more funtas- reference to Russia, to the cur-tic misrepresentation, no more mali rent Paris meating or to the cious distortion. of the truth than the Marshall plan, but there was the implication that the

London, July 2,
The British Government has rejected a move by the United Nations Special Committer on Palestine to halt the execution of three Irgun Zvai Leumi members con- victed of terrorism.

Both decisions, the Foreign Office said, were contained in a note handed to Dr Trygve Lle, Secretary-General of the United Nations in New York.Associated Press.
