Londis to Query British Officials OnAirCorteIs

Washington, Sept 12 -(UP)- Chairman James M. Landis of the Civil Aeronautics Board left for London yesterday to learn whether Britain intends to persist in ear tel' practices which she supposedly abandoned in the Bermuda Air Agreement.
 Lands is a sharp negotiator who just completed a freedom-of-the- air pact with Brazil under Britain nose. He said he was going t e London to "see where we are" With the British.
 He was referring to British Argentine air agreement which sets traffic quotas and limits schedules, arbitrarily giving airlines of the two countries a 5O-50 chance at the available business.
 Lands described such agree ments as international cartellza- tion" of aviation in opposition to the free competition theory em- bodied in agreements the U. s: has reached with about two dozen countries.

King George ReceiUes Old Job by PLebiscite

King Georges first tiff with revo- lution came less than two years after he succeeded his father, Gen. eral GonataS proclaimed a repub- lie in March, 1924, and blebiscite held a month later confirmed the abolition of the monarchy. King George, who refused to abdicate, spent most of his time in Great Britain, awaiting another plebiScite which recalled him to the Greek throne in November, 1885.
 Figurehead
 His job as king didn't amount to much. General John Metaxas as- stunned dictatorial powers the next year, and while the King stayed on, he was more or less a igurehead
 The war gave the King 8 chance to prove himself. In the face ot the German invasion, he stayed with his troops. When the Greeks and the British were forced to fall back, first from Greece to Crete, and later from Crete to Egypt, King GeOIBc Icllld1I1cu W1I1l bLle 1ClAAAAoAAC of his army.
 German parachutists chased him across Crete for three days, but he managed to elude them. The Ger mans believed that with King George in their hands, Greek re- siStance would end.
 For his valor during the retreat, Britain awarded him the D.S.O, the only sovereign ever to receive that decoration, and his own coun- try gave him the Greek War Cross. GOVERNMENT IN EXILE
 For while, King George main tained his government in Egypt. Later it was moved to South Africa and finally to Great Britain. He once objected vigorously to being called king in exile"
 Who has exiled me?" he said. T left my country with the rest of my army after rallying to the side of Britain at time, in 1941, when she stood alone against the Ger mans. We were driven out by the overwhelming force of the inva- sion."

King George of Greece is getting his old job back again. For King George, it's an old story; he's been on and then of the Greek throne ever since his father, King Con- stantine, abdicated in 1922. HIS kingly career has been among the most stormy in modern history.
 Robust and healthy at 56, King George will take @ well-roundeo knowledge of world politics and a democratic outlook with him when he returns to Greece. He has a tough job ahead of him. Greece's war wounds are among the worst in the world, and her internal poll tics are in & constant state of tur- moil.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-12

George continued to fight for Greece's cause. and even visited the U. S., in l942. to help cement rela- tions between the two countries. He was received by Congress whom he addressed on Greek problems, and by President Roosevelt. Poli- ticians found him a genial man, with a keen sense of humor and an infectious laugh.
 When peace came, King Georges future hung in the balance. Many

King George has no illusions about the job ahead of him.
 Before making plans I must be in personal touch with the tre- mendous task of reconstruction to be carried out in Greece" he says.
 "One must not forget that the damage done by the Germans, the Italians, and the Bulgarians was on an unprecedented scale. Hun dreds of towns and villages, all bridges, large and small, roads,

monarchs were losing their thrones. In deference to the Greek Republi-
 cans and upon advice of Great Britain, King George remained away from his homeland until in- vited to return by free expression of the national will. Pending that referendum, he named Archbishop Damaskinos as Regent. The refer endum gave the King his old job back once more. He probably will return to Athens later this month.

railways, public utilities-everything was destroyed.
 WOUNDS MUST HEAL
 Greece must heal those wounds so that the people may once again be able to have the means of earn ing a livelihood. Reforms must be put in hand and ways must be found to raise the standards of liv- ing of the poor, so that living con- ditions of the workers, and partici- larly of the peasants, may be im-

proved, and Greece may attain the level of other prosperous countries.
 Twice already have taken my place on the throne of my coun- try. Conditions were difficult then; this time they will be far more formidable"
 Without children of his own-his marriage to Princess Elizabeth of Rumania was dissolved in 1885, King George will be succeeded by his brother, Prince Paul, should

he die and should the Greeks con- tinue the monarchy. He is con- vinced that such government is the best thing for Greece.
 Without personal prejudice in its favor, I feel that Constitutional Monarchy is a political institution of proved value," he once said. "It is a good thing for one element in the State to be above party con- flict."
 He likes the job.

Bulgor Reds Win at Polls
 Communists Lead
 By Clear Majority.

Sofia, Oc. 28-(UP)-Incomplete returns from Bulgaria's parliamen- tary elections showed the Com munist party leading today with a clear majority of 55 percent.
 The Communists, together with other Fatherland Front parties, on the basis of returns from Il of 99 districts seemed certain to have won 296 seats to 83 for the oppoSi- tion.
 The government announced that the voting yesterday was orderly. It said no violence was reported anywhere in Bulgaria.
 In the partial returns the united opposition parties-Socialists and Agrarians-emerged as the second strongest group with about 30 per- cent of the vote.
 The center parties practically dis appeared, with only a small per- centage of votes. But it was not certain whether Premier Kimon Georgiev and other non-C Communist members of the government had failed of reelection. In Sofia, 277,323 persons voted. The Fatherland Front won "A seats and the opposition II. The Com munists boiled Al 1,942 votes and the united opposition 95,533. The small Fatherland Front parties got the rest.

Reds Mokino Cosmic Bomb

New York. Oct. 2S. (UP)-Russia is concentrating its best scientific talent on the development of cos mic bomb, 1000 times more power full than the atom bomb, according to an article by J. Alvin Kufelmass appearing in Everybody's Digest. The bomb would utilizes the suns energy.
 e The article said the work was being carried on at a secret labo- ratory city, of 100000 persons at Lake Baika1 in the Buryat-Mongol Republic. Prof. Alexander Zhdanov, recent winner of the Stalin prize for his work on atom fission, was said to be collaborating in the re- search.
 Kugelmass said the project was Russia's answer to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and predicted a coSmic era to succeed ''the short lived atomic era" He said his informa- tion was obtained from 'interna- tionally known experts and scien- tiflc Journals published m Europe and America"

Court Drops Georgia Unit System Test
 High Tribunal
 Refuses to Review
 Voting Procedure

Washington, Oct. 28.-UP)-The Supreme Court today declined to review, two cases challenging the validity of Georgia's unit voting system.
 The court likewise refused to re- hear a suit challenging the present division of the state of Illinois in- to congressional districts.
 In rejecting the Georgia cases, the court split in each instance by a G. to 3 division. Justices Frank Murphy, Hugo Black and Wiley Rutledge thought the cases should have been reviewed.
 The first Georgia case challenged the validity of the unit system on a statewide basis. It was based on the Democratic primary July IT in which Eugene Talmadge won the nomination for governor equiva- lent to election.
 Talmadge ran behind James. V. Carmichael, Marietta Attorney, in popular ballots for the state as a whole, but won because he received a majority of the unit votes.
 Under Georgia's unit plan, the smallest counties have two votes and the most populuous no more than six.
 The other Georgia case challenged validity of the unit system as ap- piled to congressional primary cleo tionS.
 Earl P Cook, a veterna studying at the Georgia School of Technol- ogy, sought to have the system de- clared unconstitutional after Rep Helen D. Mankin, (D.-Ga.), won the popular vote in Georgia's fifth dis trict in the July IT primary but trailed Judge James c. Davis ir unit votes.
 Both candidates were certified for the November general election after Mrs. Mankin protested teh makeup of the districts election committee, which ordered the unit system ap- piled to the primary
 The supreme court, in refusing to review the two cases, remanded them to district court with orders to dismiss the complaints.

 ReguIorArmy Three Years
 T. M. Kogimoto's
 Mother Resided
 In Hiroshima

Ted M. Kagimoto, g, is the first Japanese American to enlist in the Regular Army at the Waterbury Army Recruiting Station since the office opened over year ago, Lieu tenant Harry c. Rolf, public rela- tions officer, announced today.
 Kagimoto was born in Los Angeles, went to Japan with his mother at the age of three, and completed his ele- mentary school training in Kobe. He returned to the States when he was IS and entered Mission High School in San Francisco.
 Since his graduation, he has lived in New York, financing his education at the Art Students League. Kagi- moto came to Waterbury only a month ago, residing at "A Savings Street. He enlisted in the counter intelligence corps for three years. Kagimoto speaks fluent JapAnese. He said that his enlistment in the Regular Army eliminates his year. long attempt to join the Army.
 Kagimoto reported that his mother remained in Japan when he return ed to this country. She was residing in Hiroshima at the time the atom bomb was dropped. Since that time he has had no word concerning his mother. Kagimoto said that it would be futile" to look for her even if he gets to Japan, as she was almost certainly killed in the bombing.

President Rops Soud's Accusation
 Reoffirms Stond On Palestine Issue
 To Arob Leader

Washington, Oct. 28-(UP)-Pres- ident Truman in @ message to King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia to- day rejected the Arab rulers recent charge that this governments stand. on Palestine contradicted previous American policy.
 Despite Saud's objections, the President re-affirmed his belief that at least 100000 European Jews should be admitted to Palestine in- mediately.
 On Oct. Is Saud expressed to MT. Truman 8 fear that the Jews might use force and violence in aggressive schemes against neighboring Arab countries.
 Re-affirms U. S. Stand
 T can assure you" MT. Truman said in his reply to Saud, "thab this country stands opposed to az. gression of any kind or to the em- ployment of terrorism for political purposes"
 The President added that he was convinced no responsible Jewish leaders contemplated policy of aggression against Arab countries adjacent to Palestine. MT. Truman rejected Saud,s con. tention that the admittance of . considerable number of displaced Jews into Palestine represented an action hostile to the Arab people. Friendliness Assured
 My feelings with regard to the Arabs when I made these state- ments were, and are at the present time, of the most friendly char- acter," the President said. T deplore any kind of conflict between Arabs and Jews, and am convinced that If both peoples ap-, proach the problems before them in spirit of conciliation and mod eration these problems can be solved to the lasting benefit of all concerned"
 The President reminded Saud that this government still adheres to the policy of making no decision with respect to the basic situation in Palestine without consulting both Arabs and Jews in advance.

State Police ops Ex-boxer

Haddam, Oct. 28 -(UP)- The boast of former prize1ghter that it would take a score of state police men to "get me this time" has been disproved by a lone trooper. George Lepeine, East Hampton, who made the threat, was back in the Middle sex County jail today after a knock-down, drag-out battle with State Police Detective Edward J. Shedroff.
 Lepeihe had escaped from the jail Friday afternoon while working on the jail grounds. He hitch linked and walked to East Hampton and hid in the woods to spy on troopers Swarming about his home. Shedroff hid in the house and the other of- ficers were withdrawn so as to lure the fugitive into the trap.
 Lepeine bit. Early Sunday morn- ing he stole into his home, and was subdued after bitter fight.
 Tn view of his challenge, the fact that Shedrof alone did the job was most satisfying to the State Police Department" Commissioned Edward J. Hickey said.
 Shedroff's commanding officer, It. Henry M. Mayo, recommended that he be commended for meritoriouS service
