Ansonia Pair Choose TrioI

Bridgeport, Oct. 24- (UP) TWO of three Ansonia men under indict- ment for the killing of Stratford Police Officer William F. Schrieber July Is during grill robbery, pleaded innocent in Superior Court today and elected jury trials, which will start Nov. 6.
 The pleas were entered by Ed ward Comcowich, 24, and Joseph E.. Gabachuski, 28.
 The third man, John F. Panta- lone, 23, will be tried separately, and he will plead later before Superior Court Judge P. B. O'Sullivan.
 The state charged Comcowich with firing the shot which killed Schrieber. Pantalone was alleged to have helped him break into the grill, and Gabachuski was said to have waited outside in a stolen car, which he abandoned when the shooting occurred.
 Judge O'Sullivan denied defense motions to quaSh the first degree murder indictments, and to allow defense experts to examine any gun or bullet in possession of the prose- cution, and the shirts worn by the police officer and Comcowich.

Says Soviet People Kept In Ignorance
 Pleads for GloboI
 Cooperation in UN.
 Addresses Trades

Brighton, Eng, Oct. 24- (UP)-Prime Minister Clem- ent Attlee accused the Soviet Government today of sealing off the Russian people behind a "wall of ignorance and sus- picion" of the outside world, and pleaded for universal CO., operation to make the United Nations a success.
 Attlee, chief of Britain's Socialist government, sharp ly attacked both the Moscow government and the Com- munist party. He accused the Communists of recognizing as democratic regimes only those m which their party yielded tne power.
 It was the second straight day that British forum had rung w1tn criticism of Russia. Yesterday III the House of Commons the Rus sians were accused of breaking their Yalta pledges, of misusing the LIN veto power and by implication of maintaining POO divisions Of troops "on a war footing" in occupied eastern Europe.
 Would Like to Understand Russians
 Today Attlee addressed the Brit ish Trades Union Congress in con vention here. He said the British would like to know fully and understand our Russian friends" but charged bluntly:
 'It is one of the tragedies of the world situation that the SoVlet government appears deliberately to prevent intercourse between the Russian people and the result of the world.
 "They are not allowed to know what is being done and th2ugn m by their fellows in other parts ot the world. The growth of personal friendship between individuals II drowned upon. Russian newspapers give fantastic misrepresentattonS of the world outside of Soviet Russia
 "A wall of ignorance and sus- picion is built up between the na- tionS."
 Cannot Ignore Disturbing Feature
 Attlee said that while maintain ing the objective of establishing peace on firm foundations, i've can- not ignore the disturbing features in the world today"
 Until more progress has been made in building up the LIN, he said, i've must maintain the armed forces necessary to fulfill our ob- legations"
 He denounced the Communist version of democracy" as one sided philosophy which calls every opponent a Fascist. His attack on the Moscow government was one oi the sharpest made in official Brit ish quarters.
