Russian Ratification
OF Pacts Hints Help
For ) 10 Join u. n.
By the Assceioted Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 30.-Central
Soviet press organs today hailed
Russian ratification of the peace
treaties for Romania, Hungary, Bull
garia. Finland and Italy as a major
step in organizing peace, and made
1t clear Moscow considers three of
the five ready to take their place in
a new society which will little re-
sen1ble prewar times.
1t appeared certain that the three
-Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria
would have the backing of the
Soviet Union for membership in
the United Nations.
"The life Of the peoples of such
countries as Bulgaria, Romania and
Hungary" said Izvestia, government
newspaper. reveals that the peace
treaties serve as an additional lever
towards radical reorganization of
the economic and cultural life fully
corresponding to the job of demo-
cratic development of the mentioned
nations"
Fascism Charged in Italy.
Pravda, Communist Party organ,
left no doubt which of the five ma
tions Russia considered might not
be ready to 60 forward in the new
way of life.
"Rgretfully," said the Pravda edi-
torial, "the ability of the, ruling
circles of italy to finish with the
survival of Fascism causes doubts" "
The two editorials made no men
ton of Finland in this connection.
Indications were that now the
five treaties have been ratified by
Russia, last of the big victor powers
to do so, there would be no delay
in depositing the peace treaties and
placing them in effect normally. An
authoritative American source said
the depositing of the documents
definitely would be carried out in
the near future.
Pacts Declared Used as Weapons.
Tzvestia said the responsibility of
the Allies toward the defeated ma
tions was to strengthen the uni
versal democratic peace" but in "in-
ternational reactionary circles" in
Britain and the United States there
was tendency towards achieving
just the opposite"
During the drafting of the peace
treaties, the newspaper said, there
were efforts to use the peace treaties
as weapons for procuring decisive
political and economic influence in |
the conquered nations. At that time
these reactionary circles actually
tried to achieve the restoration of
prewar conditions in Europe when
the small states served as pawns in
the rivalry of the big powers. The
Soviet representatives and other
supporters of a sound peace ham
pered these efforts"

the Big Three agreement at Pots
dam.
The new policy may be a bitter pill
for the hard peace advocates and
some Frenchmen, who are thereby
given notice that the United States
has arrived at policy which con-
siders an economically sound Ger
many essential to the Marshall Plan
for European recovery.
For some time Gen. Clay has been
seeking to rebuild Germany indus
trially to relieve the American tax
payer of heavy occupation costs.
But at times it appeared the State
Department was riding a different
horse, fearing Gen. Clay's German
policy would result in a Communist
seizure of power in France by raising
the spectre of a resurgent Germany
These divergent views of difficult
problem reached climax about six
weeks ago, a few hours before the
American and British occupation
commanders had scheduled an an
nouncement of a new level of in
dustry for Germany. Orders came
from Washington and London to
postpone the announcement.
French Views Are Heard.
The reason for the postponement
was a French protest. British For
eign Secretary Bevin was reported
taking a serious view of the Com
munist threat in France. Secretary
of State Marshall agreed to hear the
French views at a three-power con-
ference.
The postponement was a severe
blow to Gen. Clay and his military
government adherents who had
worked on the plan for many months
They felt that unless positive steps
were taken to put Germany back
on her feet quickly she would sink
below all hope of recovery,
But Secretary of War Royal
visited Germany. According to re-
ports reaching here, he carried these
views back to Washington in decisive
language.
The seriousness of the German
situation apparently outweighed fos
the first time the French internal
political situation in the views o1
some State Department officials. Al
the three-power London Conference
the State Department, as repre-.
sented by American Ambassador
Lewis w. Douglas, strongly sup.

I 1t was announced that there are
more than $685. 900 registered voters
in comparison with 5,164,G00 in the
1945 election in which 4,716,000 cast
ballots.
Hungarians may vote for one OF
the coalition parties-Communist
Social Democrat, Stockholders OF
Peasants-and be sure of casting
their ballots for a Marxist or near
Marxist ideology-or for any Of the
six Opposition" parties which offer
Ievrything from British Labor Party
theories to old-line royalist, anti
land reform beliefs.
But observation-disclosures of whom
are now in exile-contend Hungary
is a Communist police state and that
real opposition has been scared off
Rakosi last night predicted victory
for his Communists. He told a news
conference:
Our hopes are somewhat ram
pant, and in three days we shall see
that they are not unfounded."
Expects IS Pct. of Ballots.
Istavan Dobi, leader of the Small
holders, who received 81 per cent of
the votes in the November, 1945,
elections, said last night he thought
his party would get only about IS
per cent of the total.
cat Vienna, Desc Sulyok, for
mer leader of the dissolved Hum
garian Freedom Party, said yes
terday he had fled his country
"in fear of my life" He added
he did not intend to return and
said a Hungarian report he was
in Austria on vacation was "a
fiat lie" So
CVince Nagy., former Hungar-
ian opposition leader also in exile
in Vienna, said the election will
provide a screen for Commun-
ist, terror reign after the with.

troops" He added that 'if,atae
elections. were free, not more
than five per cent of the Hungar-
ians would vote for the Com
munists, compared with the II
7 per cent in 1852
Many anti Communists who do
not consider themselves reaction
aries but liberals have opposed the
Communists since 1945-some of
them even since 1918, the time of
the Hungarian Communist revolu-
tion-at1d contend that the country
must have British type OF Social
ism. Some of these say that the
Communists will Hquidate-which
does not mean murder-all those
who oppose Communist theories.

JOHN CARBONELL ASKS
POSTPONEMENT OF
MEETING SO DEMER.
TIT CAN ATTEND

Considerable controversy rag
ed today around the special
meeting of the City Commission
scheduled for tonight when it
meets to act on the appointment
of City Manager.
While the majority members
of the commission, Mayor A.
Maitland Adams, Louis Carbon
ell and Fred J. Dion, are set to
appoint Captain Ralph d. Spald-
ing as City Manager, Commits
sioner John Carbonell will seek
postponement of the meeting to
permit Commissioner w. w. De-
merritt to attend.
Demeritt is at present in Mu-
nicipal Hospital recovering from
a heart attack he suffered
Christmas Day and will be un-
able to attend the meeting of the
commission tonight. Carbonell
was trying to have the meeting
postponed until January 6, the
next regular meeting night.
John Carbonell also attacked
the proposed cigarette tax of &c
a package that may come be-
fore the commission tonight.
Carbonell said the tax would not
raise $4,000 as it's proponents
say it will.
and the $4,000 is scheduled
to be spent for sewers and street
paving, said Carboncll. II wish
to call attention to the fact the
sewage disposal system will
have to be improved before any
more sewers are built. The pre-
sent system is barely able to
handle the daily discharge"
If the meeting of the commits
sion docs continue tonight, it is
scheduled to revise the ordinace
fixing the rates charged in park
ing meters from one cent to five
cents, and an ordinance appoint
ing the City Electric Company
as IT, agency to which the city
maintains and repairs its fire
alarm system and the traffic
lights at monthly rate of 500.
Louis Carbonell says that the
parking meter fee should be SC
because right now the city police
are issuing more than four times
the number of summonSes for
overtime parking than they for
merly did.
IF you put two cents in the
parking meters it Immediately
becomes plugged, said l.. Car
bonell. The charge should have
been left at five cents, SO that
people could remain away from
their cars a full hour"

telephone conversation of this
afternoon"
The Kenney letter read as fol-
lows:
CAS- | advised you previously,
it is not the policy of the Navy
Department Summarily to evict
persons occupying d housing
area taken over by the Navy.
Every effort is made to effect q
gradual and amicable transi-
ton.
Because of the housing short
age in Key West, for Navy per-
Sonel, the Navy, as | advised
you, IS most anxious to obtain
the occupancy of the Poinciana
housing project. 1t was our
thought in giving the ninety
days notice that this length of
time would permit the non-Navy
tenants d reasonable time with
in which to arrange for their re-
mOval to other quarters.
"Of course, if this removal is
not possible within this period
you can rest assured that the
Navy will not throw any of its
tenants cut on the street, and we
will certainly endeavor to work
out d fair and reasonable date
on which non-Navy tenants can
get out of the Polnclana pro-
jeCt."
