Marshal Vassily Sokolovsky in-; vited the American. British and| French commanders in Germany to his Berlin party. None accepted! personally. Instead, the chiefs of j the three Western military mis sions permanently stationed at Soviet headquarters in Karlshorst were designed as the sole repre sentatives of the Western powers. This was the minimum response astern adopted by the West to ward Soviet social functions ever since the Russians wrecked the, four-power political discussions in Germany. Airlift planes supplying Berlin over the Russian blockade flew' constantly overhead while the i Russians placed flowers at their1 war memorial. The Yugoslav military mission placed a wreath on the memorial, causing*some surprise in view of the split between Premier Marshal Tito and the Moscow-led Comin form.

They will lead to economic bankruptcy for West ern Europe and the United States. They invite a war which no nation can win and in which humanity itself will be the victim.” Mr. Wallace said measures “make aggressive gestures against the Soviet Union by establishing military bases near her borders. Inevitably, they will provoke heavy countermeasures.” Practical Alternative. Terming such a policy “at worst, a deliberate incitement to war,” Mr. Wallace declared: “I say that there is an honor able, a peaceful, and practical alternative to this mad course. "If the administration sincerely desires peace, let it state its terms. Let the Russians do likewise, as they have clearly and repeatedly told us they are prepared to do. i “Let the heads of both nations * * * sit down to negotiate those terms. “Peace will require compromises and accommodation on both sides. But no government that wants peace and knows its minimum de mands can afford to refuse to I discuss them." The hearings are supposed to wind up tomorrow. Then the committee can start going over the bill to see whether any changes may be needed. It may finish that job next week.

Three groups that studied the board of education budget agreed that well-planned permanent school buildings cost less in the long run than temporary build ings, because of lower operating, custodial and maintenance ex penses.

Representative Brooks, Demo crat, of Louisiana, whose subcom mittee considered that measure, called the proposed 3.000-mile long, test range “a vitally impor tant facility.” Mr. Vinson complimented the subcommittee on making a budget saving, on a current basis, of $125, 000,000 in cutting the authorized figure from the $200,000,000 orig inally in the bill.

Sec retary of State Acheson has served notice that the United States is considering action to call Hungary to account for what he termed its “wanton persecution” of Cardinal Mindszenty, as a violation of this peace treaty pledge. Mr. McDermott said today that no decision has been reached yet as to the procedure against Hun gary. The notice in the rejected note to Bulgaria that this Gov ernment reserves its rights under the peace treaty leaves the way open for further action in that case, which presumably would be along lines similar taken to that of Hungary. __ Labor Hearings to End Today (Continued From First Page.) of loading the dice” in favor of the mine owners. Mr. Moody said he did not agree. He said the emphasis should be on collective bargaining, not the injunction. “Nobody likes injunctions,” Mr. Moody declared. “But sometimes there comes a time when there is no other way out.” After the hearings end, the committee will go into closed ses sion for a week or 10 days to act on a substitute labor law. The Democratic margin of three vote on the committee makes it virtually certain that the admin istration will send to the floor the Truman bill, which repeals the Taft-Hartley Act and goes back to the Wagner Act with a few changes. The committee is com posed of eight Democrats and five Republicans. On the floor of the Senate, enough conservative Democrats may join the Republicans to write a bill mid-way between the Wag ner Act, which labor prefers, and the Taft-Hartley law.

The administration contends, with the support of Attorney Gen eral Clark, that the President has inherent powers to protect health and safety in emergency strikes, [but Senator Taft, Republican, of | Ohio has challenged the existence of any such authority and is ex pected to fight for some teeth in the new law to deal with strikes that would tie up the whole na tional economy. Senator Morse estimated today it will take the committee 10 days to complete work on the labor bill after the hearings close. Senator Pepper, Democrat, of Florida, said he ‘‘can’t think of a change that should be made” in the administration bill, and be lieves one week of closed sessions will be sufficient.j 2?oh Knight ond his orchestra nightly 9 P.M. to 2 A M. • never a cover charge, al ways plenty of parking space, res.: co. 7200 HOTEL 2400 2400 sixteenth st. n.w.
