Communists Hold Lead
In Sac PauIo and Rio
By ths Assoeiuisd Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 23.--
Communist-backed candidates for
Governor and Senator in Sac Paulo
State and for seats on the Rio de
Janeiro City Council maintained
their leads today as the count Of
votes from Sundays nation wide
elections proceeded slowly.
Administration strength was slow
ly making itself felt in smaller states,
while former President Getulio
Vargas Laborites were running ahead
in his native state of Rio Grande
do Sui.
Repercussions from the surprising
Communist showing in Sac Paulo,
richest of Brazil's 20 states, were
threatened throughout the country,
despite Conservative Party strength
in other regions.
Most observers attributed the
strength of the Communists, who
claimed they polled q quarter Of the
votes cast in Sal Paulo, to the fast
that the other parties refused to
form a coalition against them.

Prayda Denies Charge.
That Il Misinierprefed
.Beyin on Soviet Pact
~ The Associated Pres.

MOSCOW, Jan. 23.-Pravda
Communist Party paper, denied
today the British governments
charge that it had misinter-
preted Foreign Secretary Bevir1
when it accused him OF repudiat :
ing the ritish-Russian treaty OF
alliance In a speech Deem
ber %.
''The claim made by the govern
ment of Great Britain says one
thing, and the facts show the op-
posite," Pravda declared in an edi-
torial. I'VE prefer to hold to the
facts
The editorial was accompanied by
the full text of q note which the
British Foreign ONCE delivered to
the Russian government last week
protesting as most misleading" an
article which appeared in the paper
January IL.
Pravda not only denied that it had
misinterpreted Mr.. Bevin, but like
wise denied that it had quoted him
."out of context" as charged by the
British Foreign Once.
! Denied Shift Away From Soviet.
MIR. Bevin, in his speech, denied
Labor rebels charges that he was
directing Britain's foreign policy
away from friendship with Russia
toward closer relations with the
United States. He said Britain docs
not tie herself to anybody, except in
regard to her obligations under the
Charter" of the United Nations.
What other exposition of this
sentence could be given by Pravda,
which did not and does not engage
in guessing what Bevin wanted to
say, but acquaints it's readers with
what he did say with it's meaning"
said Pravda. This is the duty of
the press, and Pravda discharges
this duty
The paper suggested that Mr..
Bevin might have answered his
accuSers in this manner:
How could they make such
charges when Britain is connected
with the Soviet Union by a treaty
Of alliance in war and on postwar
collaboration and mutual assist
ance?"

SQUIRRELS TO FACE
A LEAN WINTER

Squirrels and other animals de-
pendent on acorn and nut mast
for food, face the winter with
practically bare cupboard. Re-
ports reaching the Game Manage
ment Section of the Ohio Division
of Conservation indicate that the
supply of acorns and nuts this
year will be one of the smallest
on record.
Late frosts in the spring played
havoc with most varieties of oaks
and hickories as we'll as wal
nuts and butternuts, and it is
only in sections where good aid
drainage prevails that normal
mast" { variety of nuts) crops
will be produced. Pignuts, the
staple food of gray squirrels in
the large forest areas will be
especially scarce. In the corn
growing sections where fox squir-
rels are plentiful, farmers are
faced with one of the shortest
crops in history which means that
farmers will salvage every ear
leaving little hope for full PAN
try for squirrels, rabbits and
pheasants.
The Ohio Nut Growers Associa-
tion, which last year sponsored a
successful contest to find promis-
ing new varieties of black wal
nuts, recently cancelled similar
contest for hickory nut scheduled
for this fall because of the poor
prospects for a good nut crop.
Although a plentiful supply of
squirrels will be in evidence when
Ohio nimrods take to the woods
on September 13, game managers
point out that the bushytails will
be shifting from one section of
range to another cleaning what
food there is, thus making the
hunting a little more difficult.
