Greece-BuIgaria Buffer Area Asked by TsaIdaris

Athens, Sept. 20.-(UP)-Premier Constantine Tsaldaris today pro- posed establishment of a United Nations security zone between Greece and Bulgaria, manned by a UN garrison, to safeguard against frontier differences between the two countries.
 Tsaldaris said the Greek govern ment does not intend to outlaw the Communist Party, but will take measures against Communists who aid bandits" and marauders.
 The Greek premier said ban dits" near the Yugoslav border were receiving aid from the outside. He charged, inferentially, that the so-called bandits belong to an or ganization plotting action against the government.
 Tsaldaris said the government was planning to publish a report concerning armamentS and military training allegedly being given to the bandits.
 Public order is troubled by bad Greeks who are aided from outside" i" he said.
 Tsaldaris returned to Athens yes- terday from the Peace Conference in Paris. His arrival coincided with the announcement that 29 left wing Elas officers, including five gen. erals, had been ordered deported
 A government communique char acterized most of the officers as left-wing supporters. Sevaral of them, however, had general repu- tations for being moderate center. A total of 92 "left-wing" officers have been exiled by the present government. A number of them served in the' Greek resistance movement during the war.
 Mop Up Bandits
 Greek military units, including tanks and aircraft, continued their ''mopping up" operations against bandits" in Tressaly today, but Tsaldaris said he would promote political appeasement" in Greece and invited leaders of the extreme left to consult with him.
 Official quarters announced that one Greek policeman had been killed in the Mount Paikon region, near the Yugoslav frontier, while fighting bandits" in the area. Eight bandits" were reported killed in a similar clash near Konitza, and eight persons reportedly were con- demned to death for aiding them.

HELICOPTER AT RACE TRACl

AT RACE TRACK
 I thought I'd seen just about everything until I went to the race track and watched the of- ficials judge the race from helicopter It was very exciting AS the bangtails raced around thetrack the judges all sang i've Got My Eyes On You.
 The new system is working so well I understand they plan to use a fast gopher to watch what's going on at the other end. The jockeys don't like it though, and to show their resentment they now use ack-ack instead of a whip
 The Flying Mata Hari is really efficient. You don't have to wait for the announcement to find out who won AS the horses pound across the finish line the helicopter opens it's bomb-bay and drops wreath on the winners neck. But still don't know whether the winning horse was fast or just blown in. Those rotating blades are dangerous, and in the fourth race the judges were so intent upon watching the fin ish Three horses had to be sent to the glue factory.
 Things sure have changed at the track the announcements now read: Track muddy .. ceil- ing zero" And just to show off after the race, the helicopter came down and moved the lawn!

 The other day Ruth Warrick, having just won a much-sought- after and rather racy role in new picture, told 8 reporter: I've finally killed an old jinx - Hollywood thought I was too much of a lady to play bad girl parts" Admittedly, every good actress may be excused for seeking versatility, but Miss Warrick is wrong if shes concluded that one can't succeed in Holly wood by playing good, wholesome parts. Before sailing any farther on that tack, she should remember that Irene Dunne (to cite only one ex- ample), by remaining too much the lady to accept bad girl roles became too much of star to need to bother with them!
 There has been much Hollywood ado over the reconciliation between Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey - the topper being formal burying of the hatchet when their bands ap- peared together in local ballroom. That's my idea of bad publicity. Making publicity capital of a bitter, l1-year-old feud between two bro thers may be way to win news paper space, but it's hardly the way to win an award for good taste.

Fall Ideal Season For roveIing
 Police Expert in
 Stotement Louds
 States Beauty

See Connecticut First It. Will liam DWyer, drillmaster at the Po- lice Department, advises in his weekly safety message to motorists. Ideal motoring conditions exist at this time of year, he states
 Lieutenant Dwyer's statement follows
 The next few weeks will give the motorists in the state of Connec- ticut a grand opportunity to view Old Mother Nature at her best. The weather in the Nutmeg state dur ing the months of September and October is unsurpassed for motor ing. Clear cool days are ideal for trips into the countryside where the rolling hills and dales greet the eyes with dazzling riot of colors
 Prom the safety standpoint, eX- cellent conditions also prevail. Your automobile engine gives the best performance in cool weather and there is less wear on the tires when the pavement is not too hot. Visi- bility is perfect in the Fall thus giv- | ing the motorists ideal conditions for days outing. Only the presence of wet leaves on the highways could interfere with an otherwise perfect day. Applying your brakes sudden ly on highway covered with wet leaves will throw your car into 8 skid.
 However, the Fall season in Con- necticut is generally one of sun- shine. Get the car out, take a trip of the beaten path, drive along the country roads and see Connecticut at it's best One will be awe-stricken by the nanorama of scenic beauty and grandeur of the woodlands. AS we gaze upon the God-inspired pie ture, we are reminded of the insig- nificence of mere man.
 "Too bad the European Peace Conference is being held in Gay Paree" instead of the solitude of some Connecticut village. Here dele gates would find the opportunity to relax next to Old Mother Nature, thus giving them peace of mind, the chief requisite so necessary when deciding on peace for the entire world. Let's forget about the politi- cal feuds of the present; time is the great healer, all things will right themselves eventually.
 Enjoy beautiful New England weather while it lasts. Drive slowly, respect the other fellows rights. Re- member that Courtesy and Com mon Sense are the basis for high way safety"

POLL

Now playing at Loew Poli are Dorothy Mcclure and Guy Madi- son in the leading roles of Till the End of Time" a romantic film of young love in the present days.
 It stars Miss McGuire in her first really glamorous role. Madison has the role of an honorably dis charged Marine who feels uncer- tain and unhappy when he faces civilian life. He needs to get his bearings before settling down to anything, but his parents can't un- derstand this. They not only have immediate plans for him, but they have even picked his girl out. The moment he meets the lovely young war widow he knows he has found the right girl.
 Bob Mitchum and Bill Williams portray Madison's two Marine bud- dies who are having problems of their own. Heading the supporting cast are Jean Porter as the adoles- cent hero-worshipping girl, Tom Fully and Ruth Nelson as Madi- sons parents, and William Gargan as wise old Marine sergeant who tries to keep a fatherly eye on the three boys.
 On the same program will also be seen, Strange Voyage" featur- ing Eddie Albert and Forrest Tay- Tor. Revolving around the search for hidden gold, it is strange story about treasure hunt in a Mexican desert, thrilling plot that mingles mystery, suspense and romance.
 Starting Wednesday at the Poll is the technicolor hit, Holiday in Mexico, a musical romance star ring Walter Pidgeon, Ilona Massey, Roddy McDowall, Jane Powell, Jose Iturbi, Xavier Cugat and his or chestra, and a long list of others.
