Ruthless Suppression
Of Czech Underground
Threatened by Reds
By fh9 Associated f-ress
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Aug.
81.—Czechoslovakia's Communist
led govesnment, through the con
trolled press, today threatened
.. ruthless suppression of all under
ground activity. It warned that
prison awaits all persons who
know about anti-government
plotting and fail to inform the
police promptly.
The press loosed the warning
following the government's an
nouncement yesterday that it had
crushed an armed revolt aimed at
overthrowing the regime and re
turning Czechoslovakia to non
Communist rule.
This was accompanied by a rash
of new attacks on the Western
powers, who wrere accused of sup
porting and directing Czechoslo
vakia's underground.
Diplomats Accused.
The newspapers Obrana Lidu
and Lidova Noviny even accused
certain unnamed Western diplo
mats here of promising that
“clouds of parachutists” would be
sent to support a revolution in
Czechoslovakia.
The government announcement,
had said that six of the accused
were sentenced to death; 10, in
cluding 3 women, to life imprison
ment and an unspecified number
of prison terms of 1 to 25 years.
Ten were reported acquitted.
According to the government's
account the sentences were im
posed by the Prague State Court.
However, unofficial but informed
sources gave other versions. These
said there were actually five trials
—all secret—conducted over a pe
riod of about six weeks. Some
were before state courts and some
before military tribunals.
These sources also said that
whereas the government reported
only one armed raid on a prison—
at Litomerice, north of Prague, on
May 12—there were actually two.
The second was said to have been
staged at about the same time on
a prison at Cheb, in Western Bo
hemia. near the Western Germany
border.
The entire press sought to per
suade the Czech people that in
forming on their fellow-citizens,
even their friends, was not a
shameful business if the security
of the government was involved.
Obrana Lidu said “We must
not be sentimental or ashamed
about being an informer where
the welfare of the state is con
cerned. Just as we shouldn’t hes
itate to report to the health au
thorities an outbreak of cholera
in our neighborhood, so we should
not hesitate for a single moment
to tell the security police that we
know about plans for espionage or
revolt.
“And we should remember that
our law No. 35 provides prison
'terms of one to five years for
failure to report such activities.”

PHILADELPHIA.—THE NAVY PASSES BY-Rille-bearing sailofs marched along Philadelphia’s
Broad street yesterday as the American Legion began its 12-hour-long parade, a highlight of
its 31st National Convention. An estimated 1,500,000 spectators lined the 5-mile parade route to
watch the spectacle. _ —AP Wirepnoto. _
retary of State Acheson in Wash
ington next week.
British officials have been study
ing how they can quietly support
Premier - Marshal Tito's govern
ment in its quarrel with Russia
and her satellites, the informants
said.
New Blast by SovieJ.
This outlook of support for Tito
comes at the time of Russia's
latest blast against Tito. In a
note yesterday the Russians ac
cused the Yugoslav leader and
his lieutenants of being deserters,
double - dealers and stooges of
“Western masters.”
One way the Western powers
could break up Tito’s feud with
Russia would be the shipment of
needed arms to Yugoslavia. The
shipment of such supplies to Yugo
slavia has been halted by the
countries of the Cominform.
Yugoslavia, it is believed, has
asked the Western powers for ve
hicles, light armor and small arms.
Informants said the Western pow
ers would like to help Tito defy
the Cominform.
If Yugoslavia can survive as an
independent state, without ties to
the East or West, the informants
point out, an important precedent
will have been set for other Com
munist-led countries.
Eighth Note in Exchange.
The newest Moscow note to Bel
i grade, the eighth in the name-call
; ing contest between the two Com
! munist capitals, informed Tito and
his supporters "they cannot expect
courtesy and even less so respect
from the Soviet government.”
It described the Tito regime as
a puppy "feeling so good she’s
barking at an elephant.”
Russia said the latest note was
sent "not to convince the Yugo
slav government, which has long
been living without convictions,
and works only on instructions of
its Western masters, but in order
to unmask it and help the peoples
of Yugoslavia see the true face of
the present Yugoslav govern
ment.”
The ‘‘Western masters” were
not named but the Soviet press
has said that the Yugoslav gov
ernment is under United States
and British influence.
Moscow Diplomats See
Major Importance in Note
MOSCOW, Aug. 31 (/P).—Rus
sia’s latest verbal blast at Yugo
slav Marshal Tito was regarded
by foreign diplomats here today
as of major import.
All Moscow papers carried page
long accounts of the note sent
Yugoslavia yesterday, which de
nounced Tito’s government as a
deserter from socialism and an
ally of the Western powers.
Foreign diplomats whose busi
ness it is to interpret develop
ments here for their home gov
ernments sharpened their pencils
and began Interpreting all over
again.
This dispatch, which passed
through Soviet censorship, gave
no indication as to what changes
in Russian policy—if any—may be
indicated. There have been un
confirmed rumors in Belgrade of
Soviet Army troop movements in
Hungary and Romania near the
Yugoslav border.
Representatives of Russia and
six other Communist countries pf
Eastern Europe—all opposed to
Tito—met last week in Sofia, Bul
garia. The Moscow radio de
scribed the meeting as a confer
ence of the Economic Council of
Mutual Assistance and reported
that “necessary decisions” had
been taken.

and rate return earned—all cov
ering the 12-month period end
ing last May 31.
In each case, his figures differed
from those submitted earlier in
the hearing by the company.
Mr. McElfresh placed the com
pany's average investment at $32,
240.198 as against the utility's
estimate of $32,779,172. Mr. Mc
:Elfresh observed that the com
pany had “overstated” its average
investment for the 12-month
period.
Difference Is 1.67 Per cent.
The difference in the two sets
of figures, however, amounted
only to 1.67 per cent.
Mr. McElfresh placed the net
operating revenues at $1,194,396
as against the company estimate
of $1,106,318. They differed by
slightly under 8 per cent.
Finally, the witness submitted a
report placing the rate of return
earned at 4.169 per cent. The
company figure was 3.38 per cent.
Meanwhile, the District Com
missioner* were asked yesterday
to take immediate action toward
prosecution of the Washington
Gas Light Co. for alleged violation
of District law covering installa
tion of gas appliances. The re
quest came from the Gas Con
sumers and Independent Ap
pliance Dealers through William
G. Roberts, their attorney.
In a letter to the city heads
Mr. Roberts said no formal action
had resulted from the groups
letter last July 11, asking enforce
ment of the District plumbing
laws against the gas company by
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West.
Mr. West said yesterday he
had received an opinion on the
matter from Assistant Corporation
Counsel Lloyd B. Harrison, but
that its contents would not be
made public until he had studied
them.
The consumer-dealer group al
leged the gas company has been
violating certain provisions of
the District code by engaging in
plumbing and gas fitting without
a license.

committee have been pushing Sen
ator Thomas to call a session and
sent the compromise measure on
to the Senate.
Senator Thomas asked the com
mittee to meet right after the
White House conference, “to tell
the committee what we learn from
the President.”
Anderson Plan Supported.
“But,” he told a reporter, “we
won’t have time to vote on the
Anderson bill.”
A check of other committeemen
indicated that many of them want
the Anderson compromise sent on
to the Senate.
Senator Young, Republican, of
North Dakota commented:
“I want to get this long-range
bill out of committee. It appears
to be about the best we can get,
and as soon as it passes the Senate
there' always is a chance to im
prove it in conference with the
House.”
Senators Hoey, Democrat, of
North Carolina, and Thye, Repub
lican, of Minnesota, agreed.

“If the President really wants
to take quick and effective action
all he needs to do is direct Secre
tary Brannan to administer Title
II of the 1948 Farm Act the way
Congress intended it should oper
ate. Senator Aiken said.
Farm Prices Show Decline.
« That was a reference to the
Aiken Act which Congress passed
last year to become effective at
the end of this year.
It is similar to the Anderson
bill but would allow Government
price props to drop lower in an
effort to avoid surplus production.
It goes into operation unless Con
gress enacts new legislation.
Meanwhile, the Agriculture De
partment reported that farm
prices skidded lower In August.
The general level of prices re
ceived by farmers in mid-August
was 245 per cent of the 1909-14
average, down four points from
mid-July. The record high was
307 per cent in January, 1948.
The department said the drop
brought the prices closer to parity
level than at any time since this
country entered World War n.
Parity is a figure calculated to
give the farmer a fair return in
terms of what he has to buy.
14 Escape Burning B-29;
Co-Pilof Is Feared Dead
By the Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 31.—
Fourteen men parachuted to
safety from 21,000 feet yesterday
after their B-29 bomber caught
fire.
Fifteen flyers were aboard the
plane. Missing was Co-Pilot Jack
Gillard of Spokane. The Spokane
Air Force Base said evidence that
he may have died was found late
last night.
The plane crashed and exploded
35 miles northwest of Spokane
on the edge of an Indian reserva
tion.
Searchers found pieces of a
body in the B-29’s wreckage, the
Spokane base reported. Medical
officers have not yet confirmed
that the pieces were those of a
human body.
Three crewmen suffered minor
injuries in parachuting.
The crew jumped after one en
gine caught fire. The burning
engine tore loose from the plane
and plummeted past some of the
parachutists seconds after they
leaped.
The Spokane-based bomber was
on a training flight.

Court Justice Wiley B. Rutledge,
suffering from a circulatory con

spokesman said today.
The spokesman said his condi
tion is “unchanged.”
Justice Rutledge’s personal phy

Legion thief Pledges
Fight on Economy in
Veterans' Benefits
By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.—
The American Legion's national
commander declared today the
organization’s major 1950 fight
will be against Government econ
omy which “threatens to strangle”
veterans’ benefits.
Commander Perry Brown of
Beaumont, Tex., in his report to
the 31st National convention
called for strong opposition to
“economy at the expense of the
veterans.”
He said “the disabled veterans
are being caught silently in a
squeeze play which threatens to
strangle their rights under the
law.”
The commander said these
“jolting developments” must be
corrected:
"Slashes in Veterans’ Adminis
tration appropriations.”
“Reductions in VA personnel.”
“Proposals to merge all Feder
ally operated hospitals which
would mean the destruction of the
VA as an exclusive veterans’
agency.
“Moves to dilute veterans' pref
erence in Government employ
ment.”
Mr. Brown called on the lee ion
to “stand rigidly for a policy of
retention of our atomic bomb se
crets until such time when these
can be turned over with full con
fidence to the United Nations.”
And, he said, the legion must
continue its fight “to eliminate
the (U. N.) veto in all matters
involving aggression, in the limi
tation of world arms production
and in the establishment of an
adequate and effective world
peace force.”
After the commander’s address
the legion called on the United
States to support “any patriotic
groups or organizations ,of Chi
nese” who would fight Commu
nists.
The resolution, drafted by the
Legion’s Foreign Relations Com
mittee, was adopted unanimously.
The convention settled down to
serious business today on the third
day of its four-day convention.
Yesterday Legionnaires made
merry in a gigantic 12-hour parade
which Mr. Brown called the
Legion's greatest.” He said the
crowd—estimated by Police Supt.
Guy E. Parsons at more than
1,500,000—was the biggest ever
to view the spectacle.
The convention was told today
that World War II veterans have
made an outstanding contribution
to the future progress and security
of America in the last four years.
Maj. Gen. Carl R. Gray, jr„
Veterans’ Administrator, said that
the Nation's faith in its veterans
has been fully justified.
“Wartime America was safe In
the hands of our servicemen and
women,” he said. “It is my firm
conviction that our peacetime
progress-r-in the hands of our
veterans—is equally secure.”
He reported that more than
6,000,000—or 40 per cent of all
World War n veterans—have re
ceived some form of education
or training, a vast majority of
whom have enrolled under the
GI bill.___

In Jumping on Truck
A 7-year-old Washington boy,
one of four who ran away yester
day, suffered serious head injuries
today when he failed in an at
tempt to board a moving truck
near Accokeek, Prince Georges

Three Arkansas Coal Mines
Resist Pension Payments
By th« Associoted Pr«<
FORT SMITH, Ark., Aug. 31.—
Three Arkansas coal operators are
resisting payment of the United
Mine Workers of America welfare
fund royalty on the ground that
it violates the Arkansas constitu
tion.
Federal Judge John E. Miller
yesterday took under advisement
suit of the UMW welfare fund
trustees to collect approximately
$83,000 from the Jackson &
Squire Co„ F. S. Neely Co. and
the Midwest Mining Co.
The suit, filed several months
ago, charges the three operators
failed to pay the 10-cent-a-ton
royalty into the welfare and pen
sion fund.
The operators, in briefs filed
yesterday, contend that the pay
ments violate the “freedom to
work amendment” to the Arkansas
I constitution, which forbids mak
ing union membership a require
ment for employment in Arkansas.
; The operators charged that the
UMW contract providing for the
welfare fund payments, stipulates
that mine workers must belong to
; the union. _

Liberal Party Leaders
Tell Truman Lehman
Could Go to Senate
By Associated Press
Leaders of the Libertl Party of
New York said they assured Presi
dent Truman today that former
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman can be
elected to the Senate next year
‘‘if he will make the race.”
David Dubinsky and Alex Rose.
Libertl Party vice-chairman, said
the President told them, as he
told a news conference Thursday,
that he would like to see Mr. Leh
man in the Senate.
Mr. Dubinsky, president of the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, said he expected
Mr. Lehman to make a decision
late today after conferring with
Paul E. Fitzpatrick, Democratic
State Chairman, and Edward J.
F. Flynn, Democratic National
Committeeman.
The Liberal Party leadership
conferred in New York yesterday
with Mr. Lehman upon his return
from a vacation in Lake Placid.
Party Will Aid Campaign.
Mr. Dubinsky has asked about
reports that forces close to Mayor
William O’Dwyer were demanding
that no Democratic candidate for
the Senate accept Liberal Party
indorsement.
“No Democratic candidate for
the Senate can be elected without
the support of the Liberal Party,”
Mr. Dubinsky said and Mr. Rose
agreed.
Mr. Dubinsky said “We told the
president that if Governor Leh
man makes the race, he will be
elected, and the Liberal Party will
carry on an extra strong cam
paign for him.”
The race is for the seat now held
by Senator Dulles, a Republican,
who was appointed when ailing
Senator Wagner, Democrat, re
signed recently.
Senator Dulles has said he will
decide by next week whether he
will seek the Republican nomina
tion to retain his seat.
The Liberal spokesmen did not
directly tell reporters that Mayor
O’Dwyer was opposing a Liberal
Party indorsement for Lehman,
but said they had read that
"sources close to O’Dwyer” were
making the demand.
Both Mayor O'Dwyer and Mr.
Flynn have come out for Mr. Leh
man as the Democratic candidate.
The controversy is on the question
of whether Mr. Lehman should
have Liberal Party indorsement.
A New York State Republican
convention will be held at Al
bany September 15 to nominate
the senatorial candidate for the
special election. The victor in
that election will serve from De
cember 1 of this year until Janu
ary 1, 1951._
