Czechs Voting Today
In Election Stacked 1
For Communist Party
tv the Associated Press
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, May |
29—Czechoslovakia's one - ticket
election for parliament will be held;
tomorrow. It is stacked before
hand In favor of the Communist
I All that the balloting will decide
I Is how many people voted, how many
I ballots were cast for the national
I unity ticket and how many people
had nerve enough to vote the white
(blank) ballot as a protest against,
the Communist-dominated govern
ment which took control in Febru
ary.
The hand-picked list of parlia
ment deputies can t lose. From this
11st the Communists trade unions
will get 210 or more of the 300 seats
in parliament.
The Social Democrats will get
another 26 seats but that party will
merge with the Communists in a
Worker's Unity Party before another
month.
Persons Required lo Vote.
In the last parliamentary elec
tion in 1946 the Communists won 38
per cent of the seats and the So
cial Democrats 14 per cent.
The other candidates In tomor
row’s election are picked leaders
of the Catholic Peoples Party, the
Socialist Party, the Slovak Renais
sance Party and the Slovak Free
dom Party. All of them are depu
ties and government officials who
have given at least lip tervice to
the Communist regime.
Most of Czechoslovakia's 8,000.000
voters are expected to cast ballots.
Men and women, 18 years old and
older, are required to vote if they
are able to stand up. Persons who
fail to go to the polls are subject
to a fine of from 20 crowns (40
cents) to 20.000 crowns ($400). Per
sons over ’.i, may £e excused from
the penalty.
Secrecy Seems Unlikely.
The polls will open from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Election officials may con
test the vote of any one they think
has betrayed the republic. The
casting of a blank ballot is a be
trayal of the republic, according to
the new standards.
(Nine members of the Czecho
slovak Embassy in London re
signed Saturday in protest
against the manner in which the
election in their homeland will
be conducted, an Embassy
spokesman said. It was under
stood that those resigning in
cluded the military and air
attache, Gen. Jan Plass, and his
deputy. >
Secrecy has been promised in the
balloting. But this is the way the
voting will be conducted:
Each voter will be given one na
tional ticket, with a single list of
candidates printed on both sides,
and one blank ballot with a huge
x marked on one side. He must
vote one ballot, secretly if he wishes,
and discard the other.
Open Basket for Discards.
The discarded ballot must be
placed In an open basket and there
is doubt among the voters as to
whether the basket will be shielded
by a screen
Persons who guardedly criticize
the government said it would be a
brave man or woman who would j
thrown his printed national ticket
in the basket in view of the polling
place Judges.
Lt. Frantisek Ourednicek, an of
ficer on the inactive list of the
Czech army, has been convicted by
court martial for agitating in favor
of a blank ballot protest vote In
tomorrow's elections.
He was sentenced to two months
in prison and reduced to a private.
Since February 27 when President
Eduard Benes swore in Premier
Klement Gottwald's cabinet the
Communist-dominated regime has
split large land holdings, national
ized 90 per cent of the country’s
industry and adopted a constitution
which proclaims Czechoslovakia a
"people's democracy'' in the Slav
brotherhood.
It was disclosed today that Mr.
Benes has not signed the constitu
tion. He has until June 8 to put j
his name on the document which
was adopted unanimously by a
purged parliament May 9.
There has been speculation that J
Mr. Benes may not continue in office |
after the election.

Gearhart Blames Reds
For Refugee Policy
At Armenian Meeting
Soviet postwar foreign policy was
blamed by Representative Gear
hart, Republican, of California, last
night for failure of the United
States to espouse the cause of refu
gee Armenians in Europe and the
Near East.
Addressing more than 350 Ar
menian-Americans at a convention
of the Armenian General Benevo
lent Union at the Hotel Statler,
Representative Gearhart said Amer
ican policy had created an impres
sion of “unconcern” over the fate
of the Americans, but this policy
"was forced upon this country by
the postwar policy of the Soviet
Union.”
He praised the work of the union
in arranging with the Soviet gov
ernment to repatriate some Ar
menians to Soviet Armenia.
Hagop Derderian of Detroit was
toastmaster at last night's dinner.
Other speakers included Yervant
Messiaian, AGBU general director;
Archibishop Tirayre of the Armen
ian Apostolic Church, and Harant
Noralr, president of the District
chapter. A dance followed the din
ner.
Earlier in tne day, Col. W. E.
Leonard, director of veterans' af
fairs for the District, welcomed
the delegates on behalf of the Com
missioners. Delegates representing
26 States, Canada, Mexico and
Argentina are meeting here for the
first time.
Armenian Apostolic services will
be conducted at 10:45 a.m., today
by Archbishop Tirayre in the Beth
lehem Chapel of Washington Ca
thedral. Sightseeing will conclude
the meeting tomorrow. The union,
founded about 40 years ago, is a
non-profit relief agency.

In New York Taxicab
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 29.—A 26-year
old man who directed a taxicab
driver to take him to a church
made a torch of himself tonight
after telling the cabbie:
"I'm going to end it all. I want
to see a priest.”
The driver, Julius Rendler, told
police the matt, identified as Thomas
Delaney, an elevator operator,
poured gasoline over himself and
ignited it as the taxicab approached
the Lady of Good Counsel Church
in Upper Manhattan.
The taxicab was damaged by the

Poles Who Visit U. S.
Embassy in Warsaw
Jailed, Clark Says
•y th« Auociatad Pf«>
PHILADELPHIA, May 29—At
torney General Clark said today
Polish residents calling at the
United States Information Bureau
at the embassy in Warsaw are
“arrested and thrown into jails and
concentration camps.’’
Speaking before the Polish Amer
ican Congress, in session here, Mr.
Clark declared the United States
“will keep open this bureau of en
lightenment, and will disseminate
the truth, despite such deliberate
Interference.”
And the attorney general, with
out naming any nation, charged
that “a totalitarian government” is
blocking United States aid to the
people of Poland.
“Your government is ready, will
ing and anxious to come to the aid
of suffering and starving Poland,”
he said. “But a totalitarian govern
ment decrees otherwise and issues
another commandment:
“ ‘Thou shalt not feed the hungry
nor heal the sick.’
“They rejected the European Re
covery Program. No food; no medi
cine; no truth; not one ray of light
must penetrate the Iron Curtain.”
Mr. Clark said “our way of life
here finds Itself in conflict with a
vicious foreign ideology; on the one
hand stands our Democracy, on the
other Communism.
"We in America must be on con
stant guard against the subversive
forces in our midst.
"Today the world is a single
neighborhood; science has dwarfed
time and space. Our lives are so
entwined with the lives of people
all over the globe that anything
that affects their welfare ultimately
affects our general welfare. There
exists today an opportunity to build
a new world, a better and brighter
world of freedom, security and well
being for people here and every
! where.
"Our hope in this challenging age
rests upon the shoulders of a loyal
and co-operative citizenry.”
Opening the Congress which has
attracted 3.500 delegates from 28
j states, the Most Rev. Stanislaus V.
■ Bona, bishop of Green Bay, Wis.,
I characterized the meeting as "a
Christian crusade against the world
wide spread of atheistic commun
ism.”
And Charles Rozmarken of Chi
cago, Congress president, recalling
formation of the Congress at Buf
falo, N. Y., in 1944, said the organi
zation is “still striving towards the
i realization of the same basic goals:
a safe and secure America, the
elimination of the menace of com
munism, and a free and inde
pendent Poland.”
Stanislaus Mikolajczyk. former
vice premier of the Polish govern
ment in Exile in London, called
upon all free Poles to "keep on
awakening the conscience of the
world to the promises contained in
the principles of the Atlantic Char
ter and to the promises made that
there would be a free and inde
pendent Poland.”
As Mr. Mikolajczyk was being
introduced, several unidentified men
went to microphones on the floor
and loudly booed him. The men
were quickly removed from the as
sembly.
Following Mr. Mikolajczyk’s ad
dress, the entire audience arose
and applauded him.

DETROIT, May 29.—Two Detroit
policemen had a tough time trying
to enforce the law today. One lost
his pants, the second his upper
plate.
Patrolman Harold Jarvis ran into
trouble when he tried to halt an
argument between two brothers
who were scrapping over where to

As Mr. Jarvis took on the peace
maker's role, one of the combatants
warned him, “keep out of this or 111
tear your pants ofT.”
The policeman waded in and in
the resulting melee, found himself
minus his trousers. As he scram
bled about to retrive them the two
fighters made their getaway.
Patrolman Matthew Yore ran into
trouble when he tried to stop a
fight in another part of the city.
During the shoving, Mr. Yore lost
his upper plate. He subdued the
scrappers and called a patrol wagon.
When the excitement died down, he
went back and retrieved his miss

Texas Taximan Found
Dead With Brassiere
Bound Around Neck
ly-th« Associated Prass
DICKINSON. Tex., May 29.—A
Houston taxicab driver was found
dead in his cab today with a bras
siere bound tightly about his neck.
The body of Merlon Meets. 47,
was discovered near here by a
farmer.
A charge of murder was filed
against Margie D. Carreon. 22, of
Houston. She was held in jail
without bond.
Dr. N. D. Schofield, a Galveston
physician, said Mr. Meets died of
asphyxiation.
Police said there also was a
jagged wound in Mr. Meets’ throat j
but doubted that it could have j
caused his death. Dr. Schofield!
said he found no such wound.
In reply to questions, Dr. Scho
field said, “It is possible that death
could have resulted from strangula
tion through use of some soft ma
terial that left no marks or bruises.
It is possible to do that even with
the hands.” Mr. Metts was a driver
for a Houston Cab Co. The dis
patcher said he reported at 4:40
o’clock this morning that he had
picked up a woman passenger at a
hotel and was driving her to Gal

At 10 o'clock, an official of the
company received an anonymous
telephone call from a woman who
said she had observed a woman
| shaking the driver in a parked cab

Police also received an anonymous
