Equality for Albania
In Paris Is Demanded
By Prime Minister
Hoxho Declares Country
Will Never Consent to
Changes in Frontiers
By the Lsscciofed Pres.

PARIS, Aug. 21.-Enver Hoxha,
Prime Minister of Albania, de-
manded today that the Peace
Conference seat him as an equal
and asserted that his country
never would consent to any
changes in its borders "for those
frontiers are sacred"
Many of his remarks were di-
rected against Greece and it's Prime
Minister Constantine Tsaldaris, also
a target of Soviet Russia.
Referring to Mr.. Tsaldaris' men,
ton of the Albanian Quisling Gov
eminent during the Italian occulpa-
ton, he asserted that all who re-
NAMED had been killed and chose
war criminals who fled are in the
best hotels in Rome"
He asked whether Mr.. Tsaldaris
would consider France an aggressor
because Hitler had expected to wage
aggression from French territory
1t was from Albania, which italy
had seized as a prelude to the last
war, that Mussolini attacked Greece
Wants Amity With Greece.
Mr.. Hoxha asserted that Albania
would like to be friendly with the
Greek people "but the Greek people
have no influence in their govern
ment."
He demanded that the peace
treaty put an end to the agrees
sive, imperialistic policy of Italy
Mr.. Hoxha asserted that Italy
caused 100000, 900 gold francs dam
age in Albania and demanded las
an absolute right, to be allowed to
determine the amount and payment
of Italian PREPARATIONS"
The Albanian received long burst
of applause, as did Alfonso r. w
Diaz, spokesman for Mexico, who
spoke next.
The Mexican Ambassador to Paris
expressed his country's hope that "a
just and equitable peace will be con-
cluded" with Italy that will permit
her to join with dignity in the con-
cert of nations"
AS the speeches droned on, an
informant in the Peace Conference
secretariat said $50 fundamental"
amendments to the draft treaties
and an undetermined number of
others had been presented by Peace
Conference members An American
source said the United States had
proposed none: that its position was
already stated in the five treaty
drafts. The deadline for filing
amendments passed at midnight.
Preparations Claims Hit.
Bulgaria, one of the beaten Axis
satellites, issued a statement assert
ing that the claims of Greece, one
Of the Allied victors, to $7O8 600 600
reparations were fantastic and in
contradiction" to the draft treaty's
declaration that Bulgaria would pay
partial" indemnities to Greece and
Yugoslavia.

Silence on Bride Offer
Brings Reprimand for
WAA Regional Official
Compliance Chief Worms
All Employees to Report
Any Such Attempt
By Robert K. Welsh

A high ranking official in one
of the War Assets Administra =
TONS regional offices has been
''reprimanded" for failure to re-
port that a prospective buyer of
surplus goods offered him several
thousand dollars as a bride,
WAA officials said today.
Attempted bribery of WAA en-
lployes by "unscrupulous business
men" has become a serious problem,
Joseph F. Carroll, compliance di-
rector, told regional and zone di-
rectors at a meeting here last week.
He told of the regional official
lwflo spurned the big bride but ne
elected to report it. The briber
went to lesser employe, gave him
81 100, and in return received his
pound of flesh, namely, surplus prop
erty.''
| Mr. Carroll said the briber was
unprecedented because another WAA
employe he approached told au-
thorities. The compliance director
would not reveal the name of the
employes involved, the location of
the regional Office or the briber, who
faces long jail sentence today"
Duty for Every EmpIoye.
Mr.. CAROLS speech to the re-
giona1 and zone directors was of
the record but today he said the
tenor of his remarks was that every
WAA employe, no matter how high
up, has special duty to report any
bribery attempts"
| He declared such prompt action
Is the only way to nip bribery in
the bud" and that an employe is a
sap" If he neglects to report, for
his own protection and that of the
Government, any such bribery ac-
tivities. An employees duty is not
done when he merely rejects a
proffered bride, Mr.. Carroll declared.
Reporting that instances of bribe-
taking have been comparatively
rare in proportion to the number
of surplus property transactions,
Mr. Carroll disclosed that cases of
bride offering nevertheless are las
Stunning the proportions of a serious
problem
ION the fringe of business" he
told the directors, there exists the
hit-and-run type of businessman
| who is out to make an extra dollar
in any manner that he can, whether
1t be honest or not, provided he can
obtain. some degree of safety or i'm
munity from reprisal.
Collision" Indictments.
The type of INSCRIPTIONS busi-
nessman frequently, or too fire.
quently, propositions employees in
| the War Assets Administration, of
fering them money or other val
liable considerations in return for
special favors in assisting him to
acquire surplus property. Unless
the offer is reported the would-be
briber blithely goes his way and he
eventually does find some poor
sucker who will play ball with him .
In the WAS quarterly report last
month, and more recently in testi-
mony by Mr.. Carroll last week be-
fore the House committee investi-
eating surplus property. the COM
piance director revealed that more
than 80 former employees have been
indicted and some investigations OF
reported collision are under way
Not all Of these involved bribery,
but bribery attempts have not been
stamped out, it was said today at
WAA headquarters.
