Turk Army Breakdown
Declared ThrottIing
Future Of Communism
BY the Assoeioied Press

ISTANBULs Dec. IS. - Veteran
foreign observers in Istanbul ex-
pressed belief today that the future
of Communism throughout Turkey
had been cast in doubt by yester-
days army breakdown against the
left-wing organizations and pub
lications in Turkish Thrace.
Informed quarters, reviewing with
increased interest the sudden clean
up in the Istanbul state Of siege
zone, which extends to the Greek
and Bulgarian borders, said little
apparently remained Of any leftist
leadership.
Unspecified Number Arrested.
Gone with them, these sources
said, were two political parties-the
Workers and Peasants Socialist
Party and the Turkish Socialist
Party-their labor union affiiates
and eight publications. An un-
counted number of persons was re-
ported arrested in the so-called
purge.
While wild demonstrations which
wrecked two newspapers and two
bookstores December 4, 1945, were
more spectacular, observers viewed
yesterdays quietly efficient sweep as
infinitely more important and de-
scribed it as an expressive sign OF
official displeasure with an external
y,olifica1 Y,hiloSo,Iv
Oldtime observers said they could
not recall when any government
pronouncement had been so out
spoken against Communists" as
yesterdays army communique de-
scribing the breakdown.
Communists Directly Blamed.
Communism is a word seldom
used in Turkey, but, nonetheless the
communique issued by the state OF
siege commandant used 1t three times
in $50 words. It openly accused the
two banned parties and their labor
afiliates of being directed by Com
munists and people having extreme
Communist tendencies"
The eight padlocked publications
were accused, in general, Of ''propa-
eating opinions" of the two banned
parties, which had headquarters
here. In order to start again the par
ties must apply to government-ap-
pointed governors in any other prov
ince. A communique warmly" ap-
proving the action here was issued
in Ankara after a meeting Of the
reigning Peoples Party last night.

Blum Curbs Officials
On Trial Balloons
In Press Interviews
BY III. Assoeio,.d Pres.

PARIS, Dec. 18.-The Socialist
government of Leon Blum ordered
today that no civil servant of France
give newsmen interviews or press
conferences without first receiving
authorization from the Premier
himself.
The measure was believed adopted
because OF statements given by
members of the preceding Bidault
government which were later de-
MED when the public reaction was
unsatisfactory.
Indemnities Granted Industries.
The cabinet discussed eliminating
certain government subsidies, a
Foreign Office source said, but then
decided to grant indemnities to
French industries which had suf-
fered q loss Of production because
Of the coal shortage.
The pledge of the 74-year-old
Premier that he would defend the
franc bolstered black bourse values
at about 300 francs to the dollar,
as against $50 last week. The Brit
ish pound stood at about $50, as
against 900 two days ago. The
official rates are 119 francs to the
/, dollar and 480 to the pound.
Denials Forecast.
One of George Didault's cabinet
members, interviewed by Robert
Wilson of the Associated Press last
month, said at the conclusion: "It is
all right with me if you put all of
that in print, but, of course, may
shave to deny some points tomorrow"
He did.
Similar incidents were expert
enced by other newspaper CORE
sspondentsl whose stories were
sprinted in the Paris press.
The Blum edict signifies that the
new Premier plans to guard against
the issuance of any embarrassing
statements during the few weeks
his interim government holds Office.

rs scheduled to take Office by mid
The cabinet won its five-week
tenure by 544-2 vote as Commun-

N. Y. Gunmen Shoot
Policeman, Flee in
Communicated Bus
BY the A.socioted Press

NEW YORK, May 9-Two colored
men held up motorist and COM
mandeered a fifth avenue bus last
night to make a getaway after
shooting policeman-then held up
the bus conductor and passengers
before escaping into the night >,
A night-long search of Harlem by,
1,500 police during which detectives
toured neighborhood bars, grills and
dance halls failed to procure the
men.
The block-to-b block hunt was
ordered by Police Commissioner
Wallander shortly after the shooting
and was called off early today.
The wounded patrolman, Matthew
Egan, 40, was reported in fair" con-
dition, with bullet lodged near his
spine. He was paralyzed from the
waist down.
Police gave this account of the
nights events:
Two colored men robbed Alex
ander A. Burger, corset manu-
facturer, o. $725 in currency and
jewelry after he had stopped his car
at red light. Two others, both for
mer servicemen, witnessed the rob-
berry and called Patrolman Egan,
who captured the holdup men.
Patrolman Egan sent the former
soldiers, Leon Smith and William
Keno, to call headquarters and
forced the gunmen to lie face down
on the sidewalk. One of the men,
however, tripped the policeman and
in the ensuing scuffe seized his
revolver and shot him.
After escaping. the men fired at a
motorist who refused to halt. They
then hailed Fifth avenue bus and
at gunpoint ordered the driver to
keep going and forget the red
lights"
Once inside the bus the gunmen
took S27 from the conductor and
$40 from other passengers. They
fled after the bus had gone about a
mile and a half.
