spy SYSTEM REVEALED
 BY ARRESTS
Soviet Sponsored German CIandestine Move Is
 Now Unearthed

FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug. 30 Intelligence officers of the U. s. forces in Europe said today a Sov- Iiet-sponsored German clandestine movement was believed operating on a large scale in the three vest ern zones of Germany. The officers made this report in connection with the espionage ar rests at Stuttgart of Is Germans with Soviet sympathies. An an- nouncement said the ringleader had confessed to furnishing the Russ ians with information of American troop movements.
 The officers said the Free Ger many group was, according to best available information, operating in the American and British zones and recently had become active in the French zone of occupation.
 The announcement added that at least one of the defendants had formerly worked for the American military government.
 The name of only one defendant Walter Kazmarek of Stuttgart was given He was quoted as say ing:
 Ut is clear we support the Sov- jet policy to the limit. A few of us in a small circle are more to them than a few divisions. When the East attacks, ministers will disappear in hurry
 USFET said Kazmarek first was employed by the American military government in December, 1945, and that his political activities attracted the surveillance of the counter intelligence corps. He and his as sociates were picked up when they sought to make contact with Rus sian officers in the Russian gene of occupation, the announcement said.

TERROR REIGN pAvE5 WAY 10 GREEK VOTING
Accusing Finger Pointed ai British Troops and
 American Ships

PARIS, Aug 30.-Russia accused
 the United States and Great Brit
 ain today of interference" in next Sundays Greek election and charg-
 ed the little Balkan country was
 paving the way for the return of
 exiled King George II with "a reign of terror"
 We know British troops are there and American warships are on their way Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov told the
 peace conference during considera- tion of a Creek Albania border dispute.
 GIVE CREEKS CHANCE Molotov asserted it was high time We put a stop" to what he called outside interference and give , the Greek people chance to select | their own form of government" He contended that the present form of government in Greece is very unpopular among the Greek people" Greece is the only Balkan country not strongly under the in- fluence of Russia.
 Despite the bitter opposition of , Russia and the Slav bloc, the peace conference voted 12 to 2 after four hours of blistering debate to dis
 cuss the Greek Albanian border at
 its next meeting. The Greeks in sist that part of Northern Epirus tSouthern Albania) now occupied i, by Albania actually is Greek Terri tory.
 GIVE RIGHT TO BE HEARD : Secretary of State Byrnes dur i ing the debate declared: Tt seems incredible to me that , we would deny one of the 2l gov ernments that furnished troops to aid us in victory the opportunity to present its case-regardless as to our views on their claims. The
 United States has no conviction on the territorial dispute but the United States would give the right to every member to be heard
 Molotov replied that Russia was not opposing discussion of the Creek Albanian border by the Council of Foreign Ministers of the United States, Russia, Great Brit ain and France. He said the , French delegate had been right" in insisting that the matter did not come under the five draft treaties prepared for peace conference con- sideration. On the vote, France sid 1, ed with the Slav nations. Belgium 1 and Norway abstained

FORCES TO REMAIN
 IN JAPAN
Will Be Maintained as Eastern Anchor, World
 Wide American Line

TOKYO, Aug. Although the military phase of the occupation is
 nearly completed, American fore eS may remain indefinitely in Ja- pan to hold what is regarded here as the eastern anchor of world wide American line against the Soviet Union and Communism.
 This is evident on the eve of the first anniversary of the signing of Japan's surrender.
 It is no secret that the conflict between Russian and western ideol- ogies will be one of the dominant aspects of the second year of the occupation.
 Visible Soviet activities are linn tied at present to extensive and increasing propaganda and probab- ly considerable shrewd advice to Japanese Communists.
 But it is generally felt here that the Soviets would move in immed- lately upon any complete American military withdrawal, ready to fill the void between incomplete de- mocracy and the deflated regimen tation of the country's autocratic past.
 Meantime, both sides are playing cat and mouse game here and in Korea, watching each other closely behind the surface niceties of diplomatic custom. Their differ ences frequently erupt into such open clashes as the military incl dents in Korea or the only slightly restrained debates of Tokyo's four power council.
 At the outset the Soviets showed little interest in the occupation, but now they have the largest foreign mission in Tokyo. Many travel ffe- quently throughout Japan and to Russia.
 There is no doubt they are here to stay-and occupation authori- ties indicate clearly they will con- tinue their attempt to block Soviet activity at every turn.

PARIS, Aug. 30.-The peace con- ference appears now to be headed for failure and people in Paris both foreigners and French, both those who know and those whc only feel, are more profoundly de- pressed today than at any time since the last gun fired in Europe
 They feel World War III already is in sight.
 They feel it may not come this year or next year but there is little doubt any longer among people ir Paris that it will come. That view is common to people in all quar- ters.
 A few days ago I spoke with the Foreign Minister of one country He has now gone home. He describ- ed himself as "a discouraged opti- mist, worn out and hopeless" Not long afterward I overheard a con versation between a French police man and a waiter in cafe a short distance from Luxembourg palace Keep the moths out of your uni form, old boy. You are going tc need It."
 The records of a French fact. finding organization, which at. tempts to test public opinion, show that the question being openly dis cussed now is: If war breaks out between Russia and the United States, etc?"
 The situation has deterioratec greatly since the peace conference opened and more particularly with in the last week.
 There no longer is any doubt here about the totally irreconcilable policies of Russia and the bloc of Slavic nations which stand with her on the one hand and those of the west on the other.
 The clashes between Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov and U. s. Secretary of State James F Byrnes along with the completely outspoken statements of the Aus tralians plus the startling indict- ment of British dominated Greece by the Ukraine have removed al question.
