BuIgors Oppose Probe
OF Their Territory

SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 26 P).-Au-
thoritative circles last night said
the Bulgarian government "consid-
ers that all border incidents that
actually have occurred should be
Investigated along the border where
they occurred-not in the interior OF
Bulgaria's territory"
The government was reported to
have requested the United Nations
Balkan Subcommission in Greece to
take this point of view into consid-
Grafton. The subcopmission has
been investigating Greek charges of
incidents along the Bulgarian, Yu-
goslav and Albanian borders con-
nected with the Greek guerrilla
movement
Presently Greek refugees work
on farms or in other enterprises, -
the authoritative circles said. These
refugees according to international
law are under the control and juris-
diction Of Bulgaria's sovereign rule
Greek authorities try to deviate
the subcommittee attention to bor-
der incidents that do not exist
thereby misleading world public
attention from the real reasons for
the Greek civil war. The govern
ment must cure her war pains and
secure the feeding Of the population
after several droughty years"

Langenhove said the Charter would
be stripped of its efficacy if the
Council was denied the power Of
investigation.
In supporting Russia's argument,
DR.. Joza william, Yugoslav repre-
sentative, said, I'VE must recognize
that there can only be recommended
tions under Chapter vi and the rec
concentrations are not binding and
obligatory"
The majority of the Council mem
bers appeared to accept the Ameri-
can Interpretation of the Charter.
Certain delegates expressed the
belief that Russia. Albania, Bulgaria
and Yugoslavia were taking the line
that the Balkan countries would not
be bound by the Councils decision
to permit Mr.. Gromyko to abstain
instead of vetoing the American
proposal.
Should this happen and the three
Balkan countries refuse to permit
the commission to enter their ter
ritories, these delegates said, then
a charge of nonco-operation could
be brought against them.
This. they added, would necessi-
tate bringing the case into the
Security Council under chapter VII
of the Charter, which provides for
sanctions and the use Of military
force, If necessary, to carry out
decisions.
The Council has now argued the
Balkan case for four weeks and
appears to be only little closer to
vote.

ment which took an American Off
cial delegation to Monrovia, the
capital, were the first deep-water
vessels to enter the city's new $18,-

Built with American lendlease
funds, the harbor is expected to
open q new era of economic de-
velopment for the West African
republic established by Negro slaves
freed in the United States before
pthe Civil War, en~ 2. ~....-
Oficials reporting the harbor job
as virtually complete explained the
gift to- Liberia is neither outright
nor without future benefit to this
country.
The ports operation revenues are
earmarked for eventual repayment
of the cost. The United States ex-
poets to profit from assurances OF
ready access to such strategic ma
terials as rubber and vegetable oils
for national defense.
A wartime American gift to Ii
IBERIA was the country's only high
way, built largely by the Army Air
Forces.

the unions executive board said
Mr.. Truman's candidacy to succeed
himself will perforce divided large
sections of labor from the Demo-
cratic Party.
Local unions were advised to be-
gin registration campaigns immedi-
ately, to build precinct apparatus"
for getting out the vote and to
drive for individual contributions
to the Political Action Committee.
A press statement by the board
urged the Democratic Party to "offer
to the electorate a candidate to
carry forward" the ideals and prlncl-
pies of the late President Roosevelt
'as now enunciated by Henry Wal
lace"
President Truman, the board as
serted, has turned his back on the
New Deal, abdicated foreign policy
to Republican and Southern Demo-
cratic reactionaries and permitted
monopoly to finance capital to shape
it's domestic policies"

For Lag in Harvesting

MOSCOW, July 26-Pravda said
today that the Ukraine-Bread-
basket of Russia-had fallen be-
hind in harvesting its 1947 wheat
crop and blamed the Communist
Party and Ukrainian organizations
for the lag.
The Communist Party newspaper
in a front-page editorial declared
that "the Ukranian Republic SO far
has delivered less grain per hectare
threshed than any other southern
district which has commenced Its
harvest
Pravda said this has serious con-
sequences for timely fulfillment OF
the state grain quota"
During the fourth five-day period
of July" Pravada said, the repub-
lie moved less wheat than during
the third five day period" CA five
day period is employed by the Rus
slams in measuring norms)
This falling behind by the re-
public in threshing and delivery, .
Pravda said, sis explainable pri-
marily because of grave deficiencies
in the work of party and Soviet or
gans for organizing the harvest and

the right of Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia, to hold his
seat while indications from the Sem

ton of Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia, might be heard by a COM

Both petitions were filed by John
Locke Green. Arlington attorney
and county treasurer, on behalf of
Lawrence Michael, Arlington, and
Lester S. Parsons, Norfolk, Repub-
lican nominees who were defeated
last year by Representative Smith

violates the United State Constitu-

admitting Virginia to the Union
after the Civil War.

Subcommittee on Privileges and
Elections informed Mr.. Green that

Bevin Urges Workers
To Back Labor Regime
BY the Associated Press

DURHAM, England, July 26.-For-
eign Secretary Bevin. appealed to
British working people today not to
let the Socialist government fall be-
cause of Britain's economic difficult
ties.
Il know there is lot of hope and
feeling that crisis will be brought
about, that Labor will be brought
down and will have to go into a
coalition government or in opposi-
tion," he told thousands of miners
at a rally in this Northern England
town.
The Foreign Secretary's appeal
came after a series of suggestions in
the Conservative press that the gov
ernment might be forced into coali-
ton with the Conservatives to pre-
sent a united front against pos
sible new industrial crisis this winter.
Mr.. Bevin limited that the gov
ernment might ask miners to give
up their new f1ve-day week tempo
rarily to speed national recovery
and strengthen Britain's bargaining
position in international confer
ences.
Mr.. Bevin said he had not meant
the United States when he said last
Saturday that he did not like being
tied to the money lenders"
"I didn't mean the United States
or anybody else" he said. Il was
uttering a very human expression
-" =. According to one report, II
upset Mr.. Taft and created an in
ternational incident.
What I meant to say i!
that the British are independent
folk. They don't like having to be

bill applying Federal mine safety
code to bituminous and Ignite mines,
which sent the measure to the Pres
ident.
Both houses joined in voting to
end wartime curbs on "easy pay
ment' buying plans by November /.
President Truman would have the
right to end the restrictions sooner,
if he sees fit.
Veterans Bills Ignored.
The Senate last night ignored
predictions of a Presidential veto
when it passed two veterans bills,
payments to former ser
vicemen being trained in agriculture
and industry. The farm training
bill goes to the White House. The
industry training bill still needs
House action. The Senate q week
ago had completed action on the
bill to let ex-servicemen cash their
terminal leave bonds, and to in
crease allowances to veterans in
school.
In addition to must" appropri-
alton bills, the Senate also had a
list of Presidential appointments to
act on today. including the nomi-
