SIMILAR
PLAN FOR
PACIFIC FORECAST
London, Mar. 20.-Moscow Radio, in a vigorous campaign against tho At- lantic Pact, said today that a similar agreement for the Pacific area would be a supplement to the general. “Anglo- American" Plan for domination.
Presumably trying to draw nations away from the pact, Moscow Radio broadcast thousands of words in its most intense effort since the cold war began.
During the course of the broadcast, it said that India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Australia, Ceylon and Canada could be expected as possible members of a Pacific pact, the "obedient
tools of the Anglo-Americans.”

To Cosmic Fleld
Moscow, Mar. 20. The cosmic origin of meteorites was first discovered by a Russian nearly 200 years ago, according to a sposker at a Soviet Conforance of Meteorites, which ended here you- terday.
The discovery was made in 1794 by Kladny, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, whon ho examined the "Pallas Iron" motoorite found in Siberia 200 years ago. the Secretary of the Moteorites Committee, M. Krinov, claimed.
The Western European countrios had ridiculed" Kladny's arguments and maintained that the fall of a meteorite from the heavens was impossiblo, ho said.
"Kladny was the first in, the world to give n correct scientific materialist conception to the fall of the meteoritos," M. Krinov said.-Router.
