|0f Balkans Inquiry
Pledged by Bulgaria
BY the A..oeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. Jan. 25.-
Bulgaria today became the first of
the four nations involved in the
United Nations Balkans investiga-
ton to guarantee free and uncen-
sored press coverage Of the inquiry.
Bulgaria's assurances were sent to
the u. N. in response to a letter
from Acting Secretary General
David Owen in which Greece, Al
bania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria were
asked to permit the press complete
freedom to cover activities OF the
nation commission Of inquiry now
en- route to Athens.
Leave Toulon Tomorrow.
The commission, created by the
Security Council late in December,
arrived in Paris last night and will
leave Toulon for Greece tomorrow
morning on the French cruiser
Georges Leygues. The investigation
of incidents along Greece's northern
frontier will begin January 80 in
Athens and will later be carried on
along both sides of the border.
The inquiry grew out of Greek
charges that Albania, Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia were causing interna-
tional friction by aiding guerrilla
forces in Northern Greece.
In a letter signed by B. Athanas-
SOY, secretary of the Bulgarian po-
litical mission to the United States

tually out OF the building or out In

most OF them had to wait few days
until the building charts could be
rearanged to assure additional
space for the committees.
Each of the 1876 members has an
ofiice now, with his name on door
sign and on the presumably per-
manent directory list printed yes
terday by the House postmaster.
There are 1877 in the old building
and the rest are in the new.
Every member hasn't the ofnce

none has complained about the
manner in which the space was dis
tributed. Mr.. Brown reported.

Speaker Martin, who had an acute
two-way moving problem OF his own,
gave final approval to the ONCE allo-
cation by Supt. Brown. The superin-
tendent explained he put 1t on q

Martin Says Audit
OF Stationery Accounts
Is Preventive Move

Speaker Martin said today he
knew of nothing improper or illegal
about the reported practice Of some
House members in converting their
annual stationery allowance into
cash.
The remedy for any abuses might
rest with the House Appropriations
Committee, a House leader sug-
gested. # members are receiving toe
big allowances for stationery or II
the allowances are not sufficient to
cover legitimate needs of that kind,
the committee conceivably could
correct the situation. he remarked

As the stationery room in the
House Office Building, closed down
today at the request Of Controller
General Lindsay c. Warren during
a General Accounting once audit OF
its accounts, Speaker Martin said he
had every reason to believe the ac-
counts are in order there.
1--WE simply are having audits
made in the stationery room and

a preventive measure" he declared.
The only reason the stationery
room will be closed Saturday is to

might prefer to draw on their al

The Speaker added that he did
not believe such conversion into cash
would affect the financial status of
the stationery room, so long as men,

Trippi To Sign Baseball
Contract With Crackers
REPORT PURCHASE
PRICE IS $4,000

ATLANTA, Feb. 8-WD-Charley
Trippi, sensation of the University
of Georgia 1916 Sugar Bowl cham
pions, will sign a baseball contract
with the Southern Association AT
lanta Crackers Wednesday, it was
reported tonight.
Atlanta Journal sports writer
Guy Tiller said that Trippi would
come to Atlanta to sign a contract
with Cracker President Earl Hann
on the basis of previously discuss
ed terms.
Neither party would reveal the
arrangements but the contract re-
portedly called for a 500 600 pur-
chase price and monthly salary OF
around $500. Trippi was under
stood to also retain part of the
purchase price in the event he is
sold to a major league club.
Trippi has also signed a lucra-
tive four-year football contract
with the professional Chicago Car
dinals.
Several clubs, including Birming-
ham and Chattanooga, had been
dickering with Georgia's Mr.. Foot

contract. President Joe Engel at
Chattanooga said he had offered
Trippi a conditional" deal that
would net him 500, 900.
Trippi played shortstop on the
Georgia baseball squad, but his
fame on the gridiron kept his base
ball publicity at a minimum.
He succeeded frankie Sinkwich
as the big name of the Georgia
Bulldogs in 1943. After a hitch in
the army, he returned to the uni
versity and picked up where he
left off with even greater success.
