enemy encounter-attacks, 1t. Muir
ray, an ammunition and pioneer
platoon leader, deployed his 16-
man platoon as a rifle unit to pro-
tect the battalion left flank It
was due to his outstanding leader
ship and complete disregard for
personal safety as he moved among

These three Baltic republics
have vanished as free and inde-
pendent states.
They were sacrificed at Yalta
by the predecessors Of President
Truman and Secretary Byrnes,
who at PotSdam could do moth
ing for the peoples Of those
states.
DELICATE SITUATION
That would leave all of eastern
and southeastern Europe TO the
domination Of Soviet communism
The situation is all the more
delicate because there is as yet
no peace conference.
In view of this messing about
and getting nowhere in Europe,
the resolve of President Truman
and Secretary Byrnes on Ameri-
can leadership in the Pacific and
the Far East assumes even
greater Importance.
The decision that forces OF the
four powers will occupy Japan but
that the supreme command OF
such occupation, and the policy tC
be followed. will be American and
in the hands of Gen. Macarthur
is a lesson drawn from Germany
The council of Allied control in
Berlin, comprised Of officers OF
four different nationahties and
often with as many different
views and having different aims
is a complicated apparatus that
makes for much waste motion.

British Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin's structures on the
present governments of Rumania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Yugo-
slavia, all allied with Soviet Rus
sia and within its sphere of con-
troll, as not being democratic, to-
gether with the secretary OF
states recent remarks regarding
the Bulgarian regime in Sofa,
has widened and deepened the
clash between democracy ana
communism.
GLAZING FRONTS
Like a high-powered search
light battery IL outlines glaringly
the fronts of the two worlds.
They form a new disagreement
between America and Britain, on
one side, and Soviet Russia, on
the other.
The differences are funda-
mental.
However, the Bulgarian gov
eminent, taking cognizance OF
American and British Official
opinion announced indefinite post
ponement Of the general election
scheduled for last Sunday.
The decision was sudden in
character as II came only a day
after Georgi Dimitroff. Bulgarian
Communist leader, from his Mos
COW retreat, had declared the
Sunday vote would be a real
peoples plebiscite."
Elsewhere there is no change
in the situation.
Moscow refuses 70 participate
with America and Britain IN
supervising the elections in
Greece on the grounds that il
would be an infringement On
: Greek sovereignty
SEEN AS CHALLENGE
Moreover Stain. speaking
through the columns of Izvesua
the Kremln's official paper
owned, published and edited by
the Soviet government, declared
that inspection or supervision Of
elections in those countries by
foreign governments, constituted
interference IN internal affairs in
those states that cannot be
tolerated
That is regarded In some quar-
tiers as a challenge 10 the for ,es
Of western democracy IN general.
and 10 America and Britain IN
particular.
There is no guarantee whstso-
ever for free elections in those
countries, nor even IN Poland If

Steel Orders Reach
Plateau After Bio
March Increase
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 4.-1ron Age
reported today that steel trade cir
cles believe the March peak in war
orders-possibly the highest month
ly volume in steel history-"was be-
ginning to change its shape into a
plateau. poised for sharp descent
when military cutbacks become nu-
merous after Germany collapses.
The trade journal said 1t was be-
lieved the armed services were ac-
lively studying the feasibility of 60
ing forward with those cancellations
which would not necessarily have to
wait until the final blow at Ger
many succeeds.
The survey continued:
while there was still some con-
fusion In many ofilcial circles this
week as to what magnitude the cut
backs would be on VE-Day as to the
speed with which they would be put
into operation, general belief was
that the Army would take a grad
ual course in order to mitigate a
possible chaotic steel order and pro-
duction condition in the industry
Nevertheless, there are many who
feel Just Is strongly that cutbacks
will reach the mills with such an
impact after VE-Day that confu-
sion will, ut least temporarily, be
the order Of the day.
Demand will be heavy for war
materials to carry the Pacific fight
to . conclusion. Furthermore, when
some semblance Of order predomi-
mates in the steel industry after
VE-Day cutbacks are completed, a
new fiow Of steel orders for permis-
sible civilian use will begin to take
up the slack in steel production
Iron Age said the Nations steel
lngot operating rate dropped half a
point this week to 96 per cent OF
