Taft HeckIers Will Aid Republicans Win Election
By Jack BelD

SEATTLE, lP) - A snarling, heckling demonstration, blamed by a COP leader on "Commun- ists" prompted Senator Taft R.- Ohio to predict today that such protest methods would "help the Republicans win the next cleo tion."
 Ignoring those of his listeners who booed lustily his defense of the Taft-Hartley labor act, the Ohio Senator called today for a reduction in taxes to help cut the high cost of living
 Keeping a bandaged left hand carefully at his side, Taft returne1 to a discussion of major political issues after an unruly meeting last night in which the small mi nOrity of an audience overfloWing a 2,100-seat auditorium noiSiiy walked out during the Senator's denunciation of labor leaders who have criticized the new law.
 As the departing hecklers shout ed: We've had enough" Taft, his face grim, replied loudly:
 The whole propaganda against the Taft-Hartley act relies on at tempts to silence the arguments in favor of that act"
 The audience, preponderantly Republican, drowned in resound- ing cheers the booing and the cat calls of those who were departing.
 Taft defended the labor law as a bill of rights to protect individ- ual employees, both union and nOn-union members"
 Although conceding that it mas provisions to hobble arbitrary labor leaders, the Ohio Republican

Petkov, Foe Of Communism, Hung By Bull garians

SOFIA, Bulgaria, (P) - Nikola Petkov, peasant leader and foe of the Communist party, was hanged at 1915 am. yesterday in Sofas central prison on charges of plot ting against Bulgaria's Commun- ist-controlled government, an of ficial announcement said.
 Both the United States and Bri- tain, denouncing the conviction as miscarriage of justice, had urged the Soviet Union to participate in big power preview of Petkov's case, but the Russians declined on grounds that this would be inter ference in Bulgaria's internal af- fairs.
 Bulgaria likewise rejected a series of British and American protests. The United States sug- gested that the Bulgarians, by try ing Petkov, had placed them selves on trial before the bar of world opinion.
 Petkov's appeal to the supreme court from the death penalty, i'm posed Aug. 16, was rejected last Thursday. The 54-year-old leader of the opposition Agrarian party denied the governments charge that he plotted a coup d'etat by armed force.
 Evidently resigned to death, Petkov, in his prison cell, de- scribed his case simply as a pro- longation of "what has already happened to Hungary" where the

U. $. Warns Yugo- slavs Of Dangerous Practices

WA SHIN G TON, l4) - The United States government has called upon Yugoslavia to stop the exceedingly dangerous" practice of issuing ultimatums to British and American troops in the Tri- este area because it is "likeIy to precipitate incidents leading to most serious consequences
 Undersecretary of state Colbert Lovett told a news conference to- day that American ambassador Cavendish Cannon had expressed this view in a protest presented in Belgrade on Monday.
 The American note referred to recent irresponsible Yugoslav ac- tions" when Marshall Tito's troops demanded alterations" in the provisional boundary between the British-U United States zone of the free territory of Trieste and Yugo- SlaVia
 Lovett said the United States believes that such local disputes must be resolved through normal civilized procedures"

Russians Badly
 Beaten In United Nations Meeting

LAKE SUCCESS, CP)-Battered and beaten by a majority which no veto could block, Russia found herself today in a weak minority position in her contest with the United States for leadership in the United Nations assembly.
 A series of assembly test votes produced that result. OverWhelm- ing majorities crushed Soviet op- position and placed firmly On the assembly's agenda for this session the American-spOnsored issues of Greece, Korea and a new veto free security agency.
 Similarly, on an Argentine pro posal supported by the United States for revision of the Italian peace treaty, the assembly voted to put the question on the agendd for future full consideration de- spite the fact that Russia objected and Britain and France took a hands-off attitude.
 Diplomatic authorities said the meaning of the votes was highly important for the rest of this seS- sion. They predicted that, Russia would gain little support for her resolution to condemn alleged "warmongering" in the United States but that the United States would put over easily it's program for action by the assembly in the face of Russian protests.

lywood's crumb to the intelligent
STA. It's all about the trials and
tribulations of a famous play
wright Louis Hayward turned
alcoholic, his even more famous
actress wife Joan Leslie and as
sorted poets, producers and the
like.
The choice of Miss Leslie as
the feminine lead is, to put it
mildly, an unfortunate one. Sim
pie logic should have dictated that
a great actress should portray
great actress. Miss Leslie's tai
ents, fear, are seen to the best
advantage in one of those chic
and brief bathing suits.
So the story has one big strike
on it from the outset. The lead
ing character is unbelievable and
silly. In Miss Leslie's defense I
should hasten to add that the plot
would be just as implausible with
Sarah Bernhard in the lead.
On New Years eve, Joan shoots
her alcoholic husband, who has
been playing around with another
gal. She mutters something about
wishing she had the past year to
live Overland presto, she has it.
Time turns back just one year.
And we find ourselves with an
other "a Star Is Born" story
only not as well done Louis Hay
ward as the playwright is frus-
trated-no clear reason for his
troubles is given-and Joan is try
ing to save him. Only the harder
she tries, the more he drinks
and I can't say as how I blame
him.
Anyway, destiny won't be cheat
ed and the whole pattern of the
past year is repeated. Get it
