Soviet Army Moves
Seen Behind Series
Of Confusing Orders
By Constantine Brown

Sudden imposition and relax
alton of the American Army ban
against both civil and military
air travel over certain Russian
controlled areas of Central Eu-
rope created considerable mys-
terry among Washington official
circles today.
According to high American Of
ficials the order, which is known to
have been instigated by Moscow, was
in all probability intended to cover
up large movements of Red troops
in these areas. Military security is
100 per cent assured by the drastic
measures regarding travel and in
formation in these countries. Planes
flying over their usual routes, can
not, however fail to note move
ments Of troops and supply columns.
Reliable quarters in Washington
believe that a mass redeployment
of Soviet and Red satellite forces
must be under way. If troop move
ments had been on. smaller scale,
they could have been performed at
night or at hours after our CONNER
cial planes had passed over the route,
or be confined to areas other than
those on the route of the American
planes.
On the heels Of this prohibition
of American flights comes also the
report that the Russian Army in
the Ukraine commanded by Field
Marshal Georgi Zhukov has COM
pleted its war games. But, instead
of returning to its usual winter
quarters, it has begun to move west
ward toward the Romanian border
1t is significant that the fight ban
in Romania continues.
These American authorities are
noncommittal, however, about the
meaning of these large troop shifts.

Mysterious Flight Ban Imposed,

Order Continues in

By the Asseeiofsd Press

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-United
States Army headquarters in
Frankfurt late today lifted a
mysterious ban on American
plane flights over CzechoslovaNa
and Hungary, but maintained a
similar order against air travel
over Romania.
An American pilot here said he
believed the order was linked with
Russian Army maneuvers.
The ban on flights over the three
countries, all in the Russian sphere
of influence, was clamped down sud-
denly and without explanation yes
terday by American authorities In
Frankfurt. Similarly, no explana-
ton was given why the Czechoslo-
yak and Hungarian ban had been
removed, just as suddenly as they
were imposed.
Capt. Calvin Dyer Of jackson

WAA Aide Reports
Complete Overhaul
OF Radio Sales
81 Key Jobs Here Are
Abolished in Effort to
Halt Sloppy Methods
HOUSE SURPLUS probers return to
investigation of WAA. Page Ara
Nv the As.ocio.ed Press

An official of the War Assets
Administration announced today
a complete overhaul of its sys-
tenn for selling surplus radio and
electronics equipment, describ-
ing the original method as
sloppy" and "a gravy train"
To meet criticism by the special
House Surplus Property Committee.
George H. Moriarty, director Of the
electronics division, said he, has:
/. Eliminated the jobs of 80 key
employees out Of SO in his Wash
ington Office.
2. Cancelled 80 contracts under
which agents named by WAA sold
the surplus material for 10 per
cent commission plus sales cost.
3. Directed that new contracts
provide for q fixed fee OF 80 to IS
per cent of the sales price-and
no costs.
Inefficiency Blamed.
The House committee found that
in one case an agent selling cleo
tronics equipment charged the
WAA several thousand dollars for
such costs as warehousing on sales
which totaled only $14.
Referring to the committees find
ings, Mr.. Moriarty told reporters:
We've not licked everything, but
I think we'll whip everything they
talked about.
There has not been so much skull
duggery and dishonesty as lack OF
administration, decision and effl-
ciency."
Mr.. Moriarty said the "cost-plus"
contracts had encouraged sloppy"
action by both Government en-
ployes and the sales agents.
He added that most of the 80 con-
tracts were Cancelled because sales
costs were too high, there was a
poor performance and a lack. of
cooperation"
Returns to Be Small.
The new fixed fee contract, he
went on, will put a premium on
sales rather than on storage costs"
Even so, he acknowledged, the
return to the Government from
81 zoe, ,OO0, 900 worth of wartime
electronics equipment to- be sold
or junked will be very small al
though not quite a fiat nothing"
Mr.. Moriarty said equipment
which cost slightly more than half
a billion dollars had been declared
surplus up to July and OF this
$97 100000 worth had been sold
for about $28, 300, 900, with the sales
cost running around $9,500, 900.
That was return of about 80
cents on the dollar of original cost
with sales expenses reducing that to
20 cents" he explained. But from
now until next midyear, he said
better and better stuff" should be
available at surplus sales. The
reason: The Army, Navy and other
services have been holding back
their best equipment until they
learn how far Congress will cur
tail their activities by cutting ap-

SEATTLE, Oct. 10.-Washing-
ton State and particularly the
great, sprawling industrial city
of Seattle, have become proving
ground to test Communists abil-
ity to use the Democratic Party.
Representative Hugh De Lacy,
Democratic nominee for the House
in the 1st congressional district,
which includes Seattle, has had the
Communist label pasted on him by
the more conservative Democrats
and Republicans.
Nevertheless, the Democratic
leadership is going along with Mr..
De Lacy in his campaign for re-
election. This is in direct contrast
to the action of the Democratic
leadership in Wisconsin where it has
disowned absolutely Edmund v
Bobrowicz, charged with being a
Communist, who won the Demo-
cratic nomination in the 4th con-
gressional district.
Three -Cornered Battle.
The De Lacy case leaped into the
limelight during the primary cam
paign, when Mrs. Anna Boettiger
daughter of the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, came out for
Howard C. Costigan against Repre-
sentative De Lacy, and James RooSe-
welt, the late Presidents eldest son
took up the cudgel for Mr.. De Lacy
In a bitter t.lree-cornered battle
Representative De Lacy won over
Mr.. Costigan and a more conserva-
tive Democrat named Roberts.
The vote, in round numbers, stood
%, 900 for Mr.. De Lacy, $4,000 for
Mr.. Costigan and $4,000 for Mr..
Roberts. Had Mr.. Roberts not en-
tered, Mr.. Costigan might have won
Some Seattle Democrats and all
Republicans are worried over the
Vaccinations of the Communists
and fellow travellers" The Com
munists, they say, are worm1ng
their way into politics and into all
kinds Of organizations, including
labor unions and parent-teacheT
associations. They insist the time
has come to call a halt specially
in political elections. They hope to
defeat Mr.. De Lacy, as starter
although they admit he seems to
have the inside track. He was
elected to the House two years ago
with q vote Of $4,000 to 100000 for
his Republican opponent. At that
time, President Roosevelt headed
the national ticket, giving strength
to the other Democratic nominees
With an intensive campaign on the
Communist issue, they behve they
may b able to overcome Repre-
sentative De Lacy's present ad-
vantage, they say.

Ster Sta4 corrsspondsnt

PARIS, Oct. 1O.-The United
States opened last-mintte de-
bate on the Romanian treaty
today by calling on the plenary
session of the Peace Confer
ence to throw its weight behind
the principle of freedom Of in
ternational trade on the Danube
River.
Senator vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, also urged delegates
to support treaty provisions for
most favored = nation economic
treatment by Romania of all United
Nations for the next IS months.
Behind both of these provisions
is the aim of the Western powers
here to write a peace which will
prevent division of the world into
tight economic compartments, and
to negotiate a lowering Of the iron
curtain behind which Russia seeks
to unite Central Europe in one
economic system controlled by her.
Rejects United States Thesis.
As soon as Senator Vandenberg's
address had been translated Eduard
Kardelj, chief of the Yugoslav dele
cation, jumped to his feet with a
stinging rebuttal and rejection Of
the American thesis.
"Yugoslavia," he said, "resolutely
rejects this provision" He said his
country, through which passes more
than half of the navigable stretch
OF the Danube, would not discuss
freedom of trade, and navigation
on that river with nonriparian
countries.
Bitterly he accused the Western
powers of trying to re-establish
their imperialistic exploitation of
the Balkan area.
Senator Vandenberg did his best
to assure the conference that the
United States had no such intention.
1.-The United States has no direct
commercial interest Of its own in the
Danube" he said.
1.-THE general peace" he said, "is
related to the avoid
ance of international trade barriers
which invite discrimination and
dangerous frictions."
Stresses Need for Unity.
History shows, the Senator argued,
that Danube commerce cannot pros
per when it is at the mercy Of the
local judgments of eight nations
through which the river flows.
He spoke of the obvious need for
nondiscriminatory unity as dis
closed by the limping stagnant
economy of the Danube today"
The Romanian treaty article for
which the Senator sought the con-
ference's support is Article "a, which
establishes the principle that trade
along the Danube shall be free, and
which provides for the summoning
within six months of a conference
of riparian powers plus the Big -Four
to work out the kind of international

LISBON, Oct. 1o.-Extraordi-

aud informed sources said they
believed the move was caused by
government suspicion of an in

gime of Premier Antonio de
Oliveira Salazar.
ALI private telephone communi-
cations between Lisbon and the
provinces both to the north and the

order.
All troops, police and the anti
Communist volunteer legion "Legiao

at 3 am. ..
The preventive measures in this
capital appeared to have been
adopted so discreetly that relatively
few persons noticed any change
The life of the city appeared normal
and orderly.
Attempts to communicate with
Madrid by telephone were met with
the reply that the lines were "out
of order"
salazar's National Union govern
ment was reelected last November
receiving more than So per cent OF
the vote.
Leaders of the democratic oppo-
sition, who had sought unsuccess-
fully to have the elections postponed
on the grounds that no time was
allowed for campaigning, pledged at
the time to continue our struggle
actively aiming to reinstall free
doms."
LONDON, Oct. 10 0R.-Authorita-
tive diplomatic sources said today
reports reaching the British govern
ment for some time suggested oppo-
sition was developing to the Salazar
regime in Portugal.
Deep rumblings of discontent-
ment, If not actually civil war
can be expected, one of these in

man said he had no comment on

guese government had taken meas
ures to prevent a possible uprising
Portuguese Embassy officials said
they had mo information.
One informed source, close to the

in British official circles that
Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar
was "an old and tired man" and,
even though his rule was "benevo-
lent" he could not be expected to
