Drive for Back Toxes
 City to Intensity
 Efforts on Cleanup

City tax authorities have started a full-time campaign toward the collection of $187,853.49 in back taxes owed on personal property, it was said today. The amount, out standing as of Dec. 3l, l945, has been reduced by $3,80o as of this week, as result of @ part time col- lection effort.
 Arnold E. Furlong yesterday re- commended to the Board of Finance that the sum of $17604.96 owed to the city on personal property taxes be transferred to the suspense books, because collection now has been out lawed by the state statute of limi- tations; under the latter, taxes, of the type, owed over IS years cannot be collected.
 The board appointed committee consisting of ComsrS. Edward Egan, Patrick F. Shea and Roger Make peace to study the measure.
 Reasons for failure to collect the amount to be suspended were given as death of the debtor, inability to locate the delinquent, and bankrup- tcy of others.

BonkAccount Ordered Paid
 $1,000 Check
 Becomes "GOOd"

A resident of Portugal, who left this country shortly before the Merchants Trust Company was closed in 1881 and who was unable to cash cheeks totaling 1000 when he arrived on the other side, will have most of his money back, ac- cording to a ruling made by Su- perior Court Judge Charles J. Mo Laughlin today.
 The petitioner, Jose Charrao presented his claims in court today through Balthazar DaCosta of Wa terbury, who recently returned here from Portugal with power of attorney from Charrao.
 It was pointed out by Attorney Michael Ciano, counsel for the pe- titioner, that the 5000 savings account, on which the checks were drawn, had been classified in the category of "other liabilities" of the defunct bank. He asked for re- classification so the assets would be consideed as a preferred claim.
 It was pointed out that no re- covery would be possible unless a reclassification were made, and that recovery would be almost 100 cents on the dollar" with reclassification.
 Judge Mclaughlin approved the motion, and ordered payment of seven-tenths of the sum due to Charrao by check and payment of three-tenths by check to the law yer. The counsel had told the court an agreement had been made pro- viding for payment to him of one third of the sum obtained
 Assistant Attorney General Rob- ert Bowling represented the bank received at the hearing.

Spy Ring r eStimony Damaging
 Gouzenko Claims
 RusSions Directed
 Comedian Activities

Montreal, March 2 - (UP) -
 High authorities in Russia" di- rected a Soviet espionage ring in Canada and were preparing flor a future event which could only be war;" the former cipher clerk of the Russian Embassy testified here today.
 Asserting that agents of the dreaded Russian secret police, the NKVD, are operating in Canada "and everywhere" and that the for mer Russian military attache at Ottawa had directed a compli- cated spy network, Ivor Gouzenko, youthful Russian who gave author ities first information on Soviet espionage, told the city police court:
 Obviously by the last telegram I saw, high authorities in Russia prepared for future event which could only be war"
 From steel shuttered secret rooms, he testified, that Colonel Nicolai zabotin, former attache, directed search for secret infor- nation to be transmitted to Russia, most of which could cause some harm to the state from which 1t was taken"
 Gouzenko said that, after he had finished coding a document, the coded message would be placed in a pouch and his seal would be placed upon it.
 The pouches then were sent to by courier, while the orig inal documents given him by Za- botin were carefully burned in one of two incinerators used for this purpose. zabotin, he said, made a list of the documents coded, and this list was sent SeparateH to Moscow to be checked there against the documents received.
 He said that the diploma tic courierS who took the pouches to "very rarely" went by air, because it was feared that in event of a crash they might not be able to destroy the pouches.
 zabotin, he said, had a second secret room" beside the one where Gouzenko worked. Not even Gou- senko was admitted to it. It was ,here, he said, that Zabotin checked on his work

BoIIFIoys Pepper Plan
 Foreign Policy
 Debote EnIivened
By JOHN D. CUTTER


 United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, March 22-CUP)- Charges that Moscow-inspired prop aganda is seeking to reduce the United States to military impotency enlivened Senate debate today on foreign policy.
 Replies To Speech
 Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R., Minn. hurled the charge late yesterday in a senate speech. He was replying to parts of a previous foreign policy address by Sen. Claude Pepper, Dr., Fla.
 Ball said Peppers proposal to de- stroy all existing atomic bombs and facilities for their manufacture fol- lowed the propaganda line of the Communist Party and so-called Lib- eral front" organizations in this country.
 Any person reading the propa- ganda of this Party and its front organizations and comparing 1t with the actual facts cannot escape the conviction that their position on International issues is dictated by a desire to see Russian aims and ob- jectiveS rather than American aims prevail throughout the world" Ball said.
 They were in the forefront of the demand for too-speedy demo- bilizations, which has left us rela- lively impotent in Europe, Asia and the Middle East"
 Ball reminded Pepper that the Florida Senator himself spoke out vigorously against such Communist inspired propaganda when 1t was opposing enactment of the peace time draft. He recalled that Pepper also had criticized the Russian at- tack on Finland in 1940.
 T can't see any difference be- tween what Russia did to Finland in 1940 and what she now seeks to do in Iran and Turkey" Ball added.
 Ball predicted that If this Com munist Party line became American policy, the United States would be placed in exactly the same posi- tion Britain was in before Munich forced by our own military weak ness to appeaSe any powerful ag- gresSor who might threaten world peace"
 That sort of situation could cas- fly set the stage for World War III just as appeasemenb at Munich set the stage for World War IT." he said.
 Cooperation Stressed
 T believe all Americans want to find basis for peaceful co-opera- tion with Russia, but I also believe that it is essential for peace that the cooperation be 6 two-way street."
 Ball opposed Peppers proposal for g Big Three meeting before the United Nations Security Council meets in New York next week. He protested that Big Three domina- tion of U.N.O. would not help world peace.
 Ball said he would support U.N.O. control of atomic energy and he providing the U.N.O. Se- curity Council with adequate armed forces to preserve peace and inter- national security.
 But, until it has such forces and VIC are sure they are sufficient to peace" he said, Tt would be folly for us to dlsarm or to strip { urselves of the one remaining res- eryoir Of potential power which we hold"
