London Is Cautiously
Optimistic on Results
Of Parley With Stalin
ly the Associated Press
LONDON, Aug.- 3. — London re
ceived with cautious optimism today
the news of last night's momentous
meeting in the Kremlin.
Although none could read any
sure signs concerning future re
lationships of the feuding East and
West, Prime Minister Stalin's two
hour audience with Western power
diplomats caused many here to
take heart.
Still, most of the optimism was
restrained. One of the lessons dip
lomats, politicians, newspapers and
the man in the street have learned
in dealing with Russia is to avoid
wishful thinking and false hopes.
But as the morning papers told
the news that the Moscow’ meeting
ended w’ith American Ambassador
Walter Bedell Smith, French Ambas
sador Yves Chataigneau and Frank
Roberts, special British envoy, in
high good humor—almost a buoyant
mood—responsible observers seized
ort it as a real indication that the
deadlock over Germany might be
broken.
Report Being Studied.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
the report from Mr. Roberts now
is being studied, but refused to
comment on what it contained.
The spokesman, limiting his com
ments to barest essentials, said top
British policy makers are “weigh
ing very carefully” the report from
Mr. Roberts, who is Foreign Secre
tary Bevins principal private sec
retary’.
Mr. aevill cuiueneu wmi nuius
Prime Minister Herbert Morrison
on the report soon after it had been
decoded.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
Mr. Roberts had no present plans
to leave Moscow. This was seen as
indicating the Western envoys ex-1
pected to continue talks with Soviet j
Foreign Minister Molotov and pos
sibly with Mr. Stalin.
The spokesman said it was un- \
likely that there would be any com- ;
ment or unofficial guidance for the
press on the Moscow talks for sev
eral days. He refused even to say
whether he was optimistic. How
ever. most British officials did not
attempt to conceal their feeling
that the East-West, tension had
eased.
Tension Seen Easing.
Veteran diplomatic reporters said
there already is some easing of the
tension in this capital. Some gov
ernment quarters were described as
moving toward the belief now that
the Soviet Union at last is ready to
co-operate in seeking a solution of
world problems.
In the absence of solid clues as to
what actually took place inside the
Kremlin, there wTas plenty of spec
ulation to fill the void. The most
hopeful think the Russians may soon
lift the blockade of Berlin, thus
opening the door for comprehensive
talks on the whole German question
—and perhaps other issues.
The London Times diplomatic cor
respondent wrote that the Moscow
meeting is "a definite step forward
toward the possible resolution of
the deadlock.” The Daily Graphic
noted an "easing of tension.''
The .Daily Telegraph's diplomatic
writer, however, thought the pros
pect of a change in Soviet policy
not so bright, citing as an unfavor
able portent the uncompromising
stand taken by the Russians at the
Danubian conference in Belgrade.
Red Radio Blasts West Again.
Moreover the Moscow radio kept
up its steady drumming against the
West. In two broadcasts la$t night
it blasted again at the Marshall
Plan for Europe.
While Britons awaited some defi
nite word about the Kremlin con
ference, there was fairly general
agreement on one thing: That what-1
ever passed between the Russians
and the Westerners it is pretfv cer
tain Mr. Stalin was tola that France,
Britain and America have a deep de
sire to co-operate with Russia on a
reasonable, friendly basis.
It is assumed also that he was
informed in a firm way that the
governments of the Western nations
will not be intimidated.

High Command Shaken Up.
Earlier, Premier Themistokles
Sophoulis announced the reshuffle in
the Greek Army high command to
“accelerate the tempo’’ of the war
effort. The shake-up followed
American suggestions for speeding
up the fight aganist Communist-led

The Premier said Lt. Gen.
Panos Kalogeropoulos. commander
of the 2nd Corps, has been given a
month's leave. He added that the
Greek deputy chief of staff, Lt.1
Gen. Stylianos Kitrilakis, is proceed-,
lng to the Northern front to take i
full command of the Grammos
Mountains offensive.
The Grammo6 operation original
ly was slated to end within two
weeks. It now has stretched into
six weeks. It was intended as a
final drive to smash Vafiades' Com
munist rebellion.
American dissatisfaction with
Gen. Kalogeropoulos became clear
more than two weeks ago. The
United States contended that Gen.
Kitrilakis should assume closer con
trol over "plans and operations he
had prepared. He now will have

ncnal tension might be easing. Au
thoritative sources said progress al
ready had been made among the
four powers. The three diplomats
refused to say anything about
their conversation with Mr. Stalin.
As they hurried to the American
Embassy, where other officials of
their countries awaited them, cor
respondents followed. They had to
pursue Gen. Smith up the steps be
fore they could stop him. Finally,
he turned and laughed:
“Wait a minute. You can't fel

"Generalissimo Stalin and Mr.

Gen. Smith's third meeting with
Mr. Stalin. It was Mr. Chataig

Mr. Stalin many times in company

Syria Considers Taking
Berlin Issue to Council
LAKE SUCCESS. Aug. 3 —
Syria is considering taking the Ber
lin question to the Security Council.
Faris el Khoury, Syrian delegate,
said the outcome of last night's
talks in the Kremlin might in
fluence Syria's final decision.
He challenged the Big Four pow
ers__Fiance, Britain, the United
States and Russia—last week to
bring Berlin before the Council. He
said it would be more honorable
for them to do so than for a smaller
nation to have to take such a step.
He said now' that he did not know'
the final action his government
might take on the Berlin question
but that they wrere watching the
talks closely.
Another delegation on the Secur
ity Council—Colombia—also is keen
ly interested in the progress of the
Moscow talks.
The Colombian delegate, Dr. Ro
beito Urdaneta. said about a month
ago that the issue of the blockaded
German capital should be brought
to the Council but so far he has
not taken any action.

The pickets carried signs: "Re

Squads of troops patrolled the
streets and ran off persons without
business in the vicinity.
At one road blockade, at a bridge,
a Sherman tank stood guard, and
machine guns were placed on each
side of the span.
A mile from the plant a trailer
truck swerved to avoid colliding with
an Army truck, crashed into a filling

escaped without injury.

the plant. Dispersed, they walked
away with their hands mockingly
in the air and razzing the troops.
The Guardsmen were supple
mented by approximately 50 police
men and sheriff's deputies near the
plant entrance.
Council Cancels Support.
Sheriff Ben Smith went to a
police loudspeaker and read Mayoi
Louis Lohrey's proclamation de
claring a state of emergency. ,He
urged persons with no business at
the plant to return to their homes.
The union yesterday had called on
all Dayton unions to send pickets
to the scene, but reversed its field
after the Montgomery CIO Council
withdrew its support of the strike.
As the plant opening time ap
proached. more spectators infiltrated
through the troop blockade and soon
approximately 300 were assembled.
A tank, flanked by machine gur^
carriers and foot soldiers, drove the
crowd back into a parking lot. Then
the troops chased the crowd to po
sitions a block or two from the
plant.
A 10-man squad in an Army truck
drove up to a tavern, 100 yards from
the plant and tossed a couple of
tear-gas grenades in front of the
establishment to disperse a crowd
of men gathered there.
Autos Drive Into Plant.
The returning workers had in
creased to a steady stream, arriving
in taxicabs and private cars. They
drove right into the 'plant entrance
instead of stopping in a parking
lot. as is customary.
Two company men checked the
identification of each returnee at
the gate to make sure that 11 men,
discharged for alleged "flagrant
violations" of the law, did not enter.
Col. George C. Schiele, command
ing officer pf the Guardsmen, drove
by in his jeep to check on condi
! tions.
rwo 01 me six picxeis were noi
employes of Univis. One, Raymond
W. Grant, 34, works at the Frigi
daire plant. The other, Donald
Hoskins, 23. is employed at the
Ohmer plant, but his mother is A
Univis employe.
Gov. Thomas J. Herbert ordered
the troops here "to maintain law
and order” in a labor dispute he de
scribed as .having a "communistic
pattern.”
The Montgomery County CIO
Council at a stormy session last
night withdrew its support of the
striking local.
William Snoots, executive secre
tary of the council, announced it
had "canceled any further demon
stration in connection with the
Univis strike."
The council represents nearly half
of the 30,000 membership in the
county, Mr. Snoots said. He added
the striking local was not a member
of the council but declined to say
why.
The strike began as a wage dis
pute. The company last week gave
all employes an 11-cents-an-hour
increase and left as the main issue
the company's insistence on firing
11 strikers. The management ac
cused the 11 of "flagrant violations”
of the law.
Five Guilty of Contempt.
Five Electrical Worker officials
were found guilty of contempt of
court yesterday, and were ordered
to stay away from the Univis plant
today.
The five were Louis Kaplan, in
ternational field agent for the UE;
K M. Kirkendall, Loval 768 business
agent; Leothar WornstafT, chief
steward of the local; Marilyn Has
selbeck, a striker, and Mrs. Julia
P. Hupman, an organizer.
They were accused of ignoring a
previous court order Issued July 28
to remain away from the Univis
plant and were cited for their activ
ity during disorders near the plant
July 30.
Representative Hoffman, Republi
can, of Michigan issued a subpena
last night to Mr. Kaplan to appear
berore a congressional labor sub
committee in Washington on Thurs
day. The committee, which con
ducted a hearing here yesterday,
sought information on violence out

no hope of breaking the filibuster.
Senator Taft said a number of Sen
ators want to make speeches and it
was decided to give them a chance
to do so.
The full conference of all Repub
lican Senators will be held at 10
am. tomorrow.
G. O. P. May Reconsider Plan.
Thus far the Republicans have
been cool to the proposal for a con
stitutional amendment, pointing
out that three-fourths of the States
would have to ratify it as a change
in the Constitution. This would
enable 13 States to kill it.
Having found yesterday that they
cannot stop the Southern filibuster
under present rules, the Repub
licans also could make one more
gesture by trying to get action on
a change in Senate rules, but they
conceded in advance this would be
only a gesture.
The reason is that a resolution to
amend the rules would be subject
to the same endless debate which
stymied the anti-poll tax bill.
Yesterday's battle of parliamen
tary wits strengthened a move on
the Republican side to make revi
sion of Senate rules the first order
of busines in January, if they still
control the Senate at that time.
The most likely change is a pro
posal already recommended by the
Rules Committee to enable the Sen
ate to apply cloture—limiting debate
—to any pending question. In its
present form, the rule confines clo
ture to a "pending measure,” and
the precedents hold that this does
not include a motion to take up a
bill.
Wfien the Republicans tried to in
voke cloture yesterday the pending
question was a motion to. take up
the anti-poll tax bill, and Senate
President Vandenberg merely fol
lowed his predecessors in ruling it
out of order. The Michigan Senator
made it clear, however, that he fa
vors abolishing the poll tax, and also
favors a change in Senate rules.
GOP strategists point out that if
revision of the rules could be given
the right of way at the start of a
regular session in January7, there
would be no adjournment pressure
to interfere with continuous sessions
to obtain action.

British Zone Germans
Stone Red Police in
Black Market Chase
By Associated Press
BERLIN, Aug. 3 .-^-German ci
vilians stoned Russian sector
police last night when they at
tempted to cross into the British
sector of the city in pursuit of a
black marketer. One policeman
was reported injured.
There were two versions of the
incident, which occurred when So
viet-controlled police squadrons
conducted raids against black mar
keteers at Potsdamer Platz, a favor
ite trading center.
Apparently fleeing from the po
lice, some of the traders crossed the
occupation border into the British
sector to escape. Then, according
to the British-licensed newspaper
Telegraf Soviet-controlled police
entered the British area in pursuit.
"Crowds in the Potsdamer Strasse
lined up against the police and
clashes occurred,” the paper said.
"There were reports that one pass
erby was dragged out of the British
sector, manhandled by pistol
brandishing Soviet sector police and
dragged off to their headquarters.”
Reds Give Version.
The Russian-controlled news pa
per Berliner Zeitung, in its ver
sion of the incident, said one of
the black marketers sought to es
cape and called on people in the
BbICCtB 1U1 IICip.
“He shouted that he was a Brit
ish sector resident and that the
Soviet sector police were trying to
kidnap him," the Zeitung said.
“Thereupon several passerbys ran
to his aid, threw stones at the po
lice and injured one officer.'’
No official British comment on
the incident was available. Russian
sector poriice headquarters acknowl
edged only that raids had been
made.
There has been increasing bitter
ness between police in the Russian
and Western sectors, since the po
lice chief muddle. Both anti- Com
munist Johannes Stumm and Mos
cow trained Paul Markgraf claim
to be chief.
American officials have held up
plans for dealing with the currency
mix-up in Berlin. Informants said
they are waiting to hear what hap
pened in last night's talks in Mos
cow between Prime Minister Stalin
and western envoys.
American occupation authorities
met with German bankers yesterday
to consider means of dealing with
the Soviet freeze of accounts of
Western Berlin firms.
The Russians froze the accounts
last week. They claimed irregular
ities in deposits made by Western
Berliners in connection with the
recent currency exchange when old
notes were turned in for new Soviet
zone money.
American sources said it had been
planned to empower German banks
to issue loans to the firms to tide
them over, but the plan was post
poned at the last minute pending
developments from the conference
with Mr. Stalin.
Police Arresting Police.
Meantime, in the Soviet sector of
the city Russian-backed police be
gan an arrest-on-sight campaign
against their counterparts in the
Western sectors.
American public safety officers
said last night that four sector
policemen were seized over the week
end when they entered the Eastern
sector. Tliey still are in custody.
American Informants said the
Russian sector police are acting un
der blanket orders to arrest any
policeman working for Stumm, who
recently was appointed police chief
by the anti-Communist city gov
ernmeru.

"Suddenly a man jumped in my
cab and said he’d been robbed by
two men. He wanted to go to a
police station, but first a^ked me

“I followed the cab in which the

The suspects were identified as
George Taylor, 18, and Richard

They were ordered held today for

j robbery by Municipal Court Judge
I Armond W. Scott. Bond was set
at $1,500 apiece. Both pleaded not

Mr. Mitchell told the court the

a thesis from him as he sat in

Red Candidate Elected
President of Hungary
By tht Associated Frets
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Aug. 3.
Arpad Szakasits; a former stone
mason, journalist and poet, was
elected president of Hungary today
The vote by Parliament was unani
mous.
He succeeds Zolton Tildy, whe
resigned last Friday, a few hours
after his son-in-law, Dr. Victoi
Csornoky, was arrested and charged
with espionage and treason.
When Imre Nagy, speaker ol
Hungary's Parliament, announced
that Szakasits was the only candi
date for the presidency, members
of the Democratic Peoples Party
and of the Christian Womens Camp
— both opposition groups — walked
out. They returned to their seats
after the speaker declared Szakasits
elected. *
Szakasits, who was nominated by
the Unified < Communist - ruled)
Labor Party, formerly was deputy
premier under Premier Lajos Din
nyes.
It seemed clear the cabinet would
not even go through the formality
of submitting resignations, but
would continue in office under the
new President.
After taking the oath, Szakasits
said in a speech that “relations be
tween governmental parties has
never been as satisfactory as today."
He threatened “satellites of im
perialists at home’’ with iron fist
treatment.
