Chinese Communists And

CHUNGKING, Jan. IL. - UH =
Sporadic fighting was reported
continuing between Communist and
Nationalist forces in Manchuria
today as leaders of the two fac

, Nationalist sources tended to
blame the post-armistice fighting
on isolated Communist garrisons
which apparently had not received
the cease fire orders and were re-
sisting government occupation of
their positions. Casualties were
said to be light and it was not be-

 Cabinet Man

PRAGUE, May 2l.-Czechoslova- kia's Peoples Court today found Karl Hermann Frank, former Nazi Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, guilty of responsibility for the massacre of Lidice and sentenced nim to be executed publicly.
 The court also found that Frank was the person chiefly responsible for the massacre and destruction of the village of Zubri.
 Frank slumped into his chair listlessly while the court president started reading the legal basis for the decision. He obviously was re- signed to his fate.
 He will be the first person of German Cabinet rank to be sen- tenced to death in war crimes trials.
 The reading of the courts find- ings is expected to require two days. Under the practice of the Peoples Court, the execution migi.s take place tomorrow.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-One of the most absurd traditions of the Senate is that every Senator protects fel- low member of the Club" Ac- cording to this myth, no Senator criticizes a colleague on the Senate floor.
 A good many Senators don't be- lieve in this tradition; but it takes a strong man to stand up and speak out against a colleague who may be a member of the same party, or who occupies a seat few steps away.
 One reason is that Senators have to see each other every day, to a certain extent must get along with each other. Perhaps some also fi- gure that the day might come when they themselves could be the tar gets of attack Some also are frank in believing in the hard-boiled John L. Lewis theory that it's bet ter for Senators. like coal miners, to stick together-no matter what their sins.
 But whatever their motive. the result is that Senators sometimes consume hours of time and pages in the Congressional Record-print- ed at the taxpayers expense -criti- cizing private individual; but

Byrnes Calls on Russia 10 Stop Blocking Euro

 WASHINGTON, May 21 .--Secre- tary of State Byrnes gave Russia its choice today:
 Stop blocking European peace conference this summer, else the United States will walk out of the dragging Big Four treaty talks and carry the whole matter before the United Nations.
 Proclaiming an American "offen- siYe tor peace Byrnes left no doubt in his radio address to the nation last night that it would be carried cur even at the expense of the ba- tic postwar ideal that the great vic- tor nations should act in unison 10 fashion the future.
 Hold RusSia Responsible
 The cabinet officer made it per- iectly rlain that he held Russia re- spcnsible for the disappointing out come Of tLe Foreign Ministers Con- ference which recessed in Paris last Thursday, until June IS.
 His formal report on that conclave listed half dozen outstanding issues with Moscow on which he indicated the United States would not compromise.
 From the aggressive but confident tone of his speech, however, it was arparent--and officials confirmed this-th that Byrnes is counting on Moscow conferences between Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and Pre- mier Stalm during the recess to re- verse or modify the Russian posi- tion on these questions.
 On the one looming biggest in his estimate-the making of peace treaties so that the nations of Flu rope can begin to live and breathe" again. Byrrcs declared he was con- fident that there would be peace conference of the Europenan na- tions and other interested powers this summer
 Call Tn UNO Assembly Recalling that at Paris Molotov blocked such proposal, Byrnes said this power to stop "all efforts tow ard peace must not be left to any one nation and added
 If peace conference is not call cd this summer. the United States will feel obligated to request the General Assembly Of the United Na- tions under Article IA of the chart CT to make recommendation with respect to the peace settlements. ]"
 The article he cited gives the Assembly power to intervene in any situation involving the general well fare of the world.

FACTIONS IN CHINA
 CEN5URED
Marshall Crifiei1ss "Retk less Propaganda of
 Fear, Suspi1ion"

HAWKING, May 21.-General Marshall, American peace envoy to China, sharply criticized both Com munist and government factions to- day for their part in the Chinese civil war.
 Saying he was deeply concerned over "the critical situation in North China" and was endeavoring "by every means" to prevent the spread of general fighting from Manchuria southward, Marshall censufed both factions for their propaganda cam paigns, which he said naturally inflame feelings and increase the possibility of some hotheads pre- cipitating a general conflagation.
 Reckless Propaganda
 "The reckless propaganda of hate and suspicious" Marshall said, ser iously aggravates the present situa- tion and can lead to results which will be disastrous to the people of China"
 The American General made his extraordinary charges in a press release shortly after the capture of Szepingkai by Government for ces had been announced at Army headquarters in Mukden and con- firmed by Government sources at Peiping.
 The American envoy said that the operation of the Sino-C Communist American truce teams was made especially difficult by the spread ing of propaganda among officers and soldiers of both sides and on the success of these teams China depends largely for her effort to at least localize if not suppress these conflicts"
 Communists Attacking
 Meanwhile, truce team executive headquartesr at Peiping dispatched a special cease-fire field team to southeastern Jehof Province where an estimated 26,OO0 Communist troops were reported by Government sources to be attacking along 200 mile front.
 Government sources said that two columns of Red soldiers, one of 16O00 and the other 10000, were

Continued Exploration
 0fAIaSka $ Oil BasinIs
 Urged by Navy Experls

WASHINGTON, May 2i. = The Navy's No. 4 oil reserve in Alaska has "all the essentials required of a major oil basin" and should be developed to augment the nations petroleum supply, Navy oil experts believe.
 Navy Department witnesses. ap- bearing before the House Commit tee during hearings on the l941 fiscal year Appropriations Bill, urged continuation of exploratory work and declared that there are excellent prospects" of finding oil in commercial quantities in the re- serve. Their testimony was made public today when the bill was in- troduced in the House.
 The Navy spokesman said well at Umiat Mountain, now sunk to approximately 1900 feet, will be bored to 5000 feet during the con- ing summer. They said arrange ments will be made to continue ex- ploratory work the year around
 Commodore w. c. Greenman, Di- rector of Naval petroleum Reserves said it will require $9,6o0,o00 to carry on the work for the next three years. He explained that the program will be carried out by the Hoover, Curtice & Ruby Company of New York, because Navy per- scnnel who carried on the work during the war bad been with drawn.
 It. Commander w. T. Foran told the Committee he had studied the reserve closely and was convinced oil would be found in paying quan- Gity.
 We have all the essentials re- uuired of major oil basin," For an said. We have more positive evidence and assurance of success than for any undeveloped oil ba- sin I have seen. have studied several South American basins, our mid-continent, the Middle East and numerous Rocky Mountain basins" :"
 Alexander Chapman, Vice-Presi- dent of Hoover, Curtice & Ruby said he knew of no undeveloped, unexplored area that offers a greater promise of finding oil.
 Lieut.. Commander R. J. Bradley, told the Committee, oil from the reserve could be laid down in Cali fornia at a cost of 38 to 54 rents a barrel.
 The officials told the Committee the Navy plans to sink additional wells in other sections of the Alas kan reserve and said the well un- derway already had passed through several layers of oil sands which indicated commercial deposit would be found.

POSTAL WORKERS
 PAY GIVEN RAISE

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Presi- dent Truman signed into law today bill giving nearly all postal work CTS a $400 yearly pay increase.
 Those who don't get the $40o boost are fourth class postmasters, who receive 20 percent raise, and part-time workers, who receive a gain of 20 cents hourly.
 All the increases are retroactive to January 1, 1946. Approximately 100000 workers come under the measure. The total cost was esti- mated at approximately sl6o,O00,- 900 yearly.
