COMMUNIST PRESS
ATTACKS u. S. AID

the Foreign Ministers Council yes
terday, was a supplement to Presi-
dent Humans general attack
against totalitarianism.
Prevada said that the assistance
proposed by President Truman
would strengthen the same reac-
tionary regime in Greece which led
the country to bankruptcy" and
that the dispatch of American
civil and military personnel, the
program Of training specially Sc
lected, obedient executors of the
will of foreign capital i nGreece
mean in fact the liquidation of the
state of independence of Greece and
a gross imposing upon her of
American domination"
AS for Turkey, Pravda said, the
country Gas is known, has by no
means suffered from the war. How
then can one explain the necessity
to grant urgent assistance to that
country?"
Declaring the American plan was
really to extend the Monroe doc
trine to the old world" the news
paper asked why, if Greece and
Turkey were really threatened.
tn United States did not apply
to the United Nations organiza-
ton.
Pravda then charged that the
President had ''disregarded the
obligations of the United States as
a member of U. NJ" And had pre-
ferred to act in disregard of U.
N. without taking into consideration
that such a disdainful attitude to-
wards the United Nations organiza-
ton renders valueless the declara-
tons Of the United States about
their faithfulness to the cause of
this international organization"
Pravda, like Izvestia, charged
that the Truman plea that it was
necessary to defend free peoples
against the threat from to%talitarian
regimes" was borrowed from Hit
Ter.

2. Any such transfers now in
progress would be halted.
3. Any permanent settlement OF
displaced persons in Germany
would be forbidden and their re-
settlement to other countries
would be expedited.
Marshall read two prepared
statements dealing with problems
on displaced persons and terri
torial reorganization inside Ger
many. e
He said the United States was
fully supporting the international
refugee organization of the Unit
ed Nations and he did not think the
Foreign Ministers should inter-
fere on displaced persons, but
leave the problem to the IRO.
On territorial reorganization he
said there had been some admins
trative reorganization of states in
the U. S. zone, but that these may
be changed again when Germany
becomes a single political unit.
He agreed tentatively with a
suggestion from Molotov, as did
the other ministers, that any ter
~ritorial changes in the future
should be made in accord with de-
cisions of the Allied Control Coun'
Gil.
Molotov asserted that a number
of territorial changes had been
made which were wrong because
they aimed at the liberalization
Of Germany which Russia opposes
Marshall replied that the Pots
dam pact called for decentraliza'
ton Of Germany and the United
States felt free to act under this
general policy in the absence O.
any specific agreements to the
contrary.

SPLIT IS URGED
OF SILESIA AREA
u. S. Military Government
Officials Seek Compro-
mise Or Issue

BERLIN, March Is. -RN
American informants said today
u. S. Military Government OF
.,ficials here had recommended
that h e American delegation at
Moscow support a border compro-
mise giving upper Silesia to Po'
land a n d lower Silesia to Ger
many. Poland has occupied and
claimed both areas.
Such an adjustment, the sources
said. would compensate Poland
for Eastern territory she lost to
Russia and yet assist Germany
toward ~self-support.
The Oder-Neisse river boundary
which Poland wants, running
from stettin to Zittau on the
Czech border, would give her
almost all of Silesia, a piece OF
Brandenburg, and the Southern
half of East Prussia.
This was accepted at the Pots
dam conference a S a temporary
demarcation line for Polish : ad-
ministered areas of Germany,
until a German peace treaty fixed
the borders.
The area which Germany
stands to lose on the basis of the
Oder = Neisse line cover 81 ,O42
square miles and in 1899 had a
population of $500, 900, f whom
1000, 900 were Germans. Poland,
taking for granted she would re-
ceive the entire area, has ex-
PEELED ali but 600, 900 Germans
westward into Germany.
American experts contend Ger
many needs some Of the rich ag-
ricultural land in the Oder-Nelsse
district to support her population.

musical jest.
Other soloists were George
Clark, Duke football player and
president-student director of the
group, Clarence Smith, baritone,

the drunken sailor and he ended it
up by kicking and going into fits
of laughter.

selections, Walker and Robert
McCuiston, basso, had incidental
solo parts in "Set Down Servant"
which met with roars of laughter
and great applause.

unconstitutional?

commerce that he was unable to
rule on these questions, but. Dean

Other state employees were given
20 PEI cent increases.
A measure calling for a 49-hour
work week and a Accent minimum

questing any information as to any

Der of this group"
Also<he said, cit is erroneous
that I intend to prohibit fishing
within three miles of Wrights-
vile Beach," He added, however,
that he had received complaints
against the commercial fishermen
at Wrightsville Beach during the
last season as to their conduct
along the beaches" =
ut is not my purpose to in any
way effect the commercial fish
ing in New Hanover county" ne
added, sbut something must be
done to correct the conditions that
have been reported at Wrightsvlle
Beach,"
"When l first proposed the meas
ure limiting fishing in this area,
I did not realize there was a law
already in effect that covered the
majority of the complaints, he SAID,
1.-THE law, Section 1880 OF the
General Statutes, has not been en-
forced in this county"
Kermon quoted the law in full,
which states" eft is unlawful
for airy person, firm or corporation
to fish with seines, purse, pod or
pound nets, or with any kind OF
nets. except cast nets, in the waters
of the Atlantic ocean in New Han
over County within the following
limits:
Beginning at a point on the
beach on the north side of the
mouth of Moore's inlet and extend
ing southwardly along the strand
of the Atlantic ocean to a point
on the north Of the mouth of Mason
boro inlet, and extending one mile
out from the shore line. The above
shall not apply to the use Of SET
nets between the first day OF
November and the first day of May
next following. Any person vlolat-
ing this section shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon con
viction thereof shall be fined not
more than one hundred dollars
and imprisoned not more than sixty
days.
He stated that certain conditions
at Wrightsville must be corrected.
One of these, he said, is the
practice of ''boats trawl1ng Tor
shrimp and crabs in Banks Channel
and the Sound, which destroyed
thousands of small fish last sum-
After these boats had made
their catch, hundreds of small fish
were thrown back into the water
and could be seen floating near
the marshes. This was and is a
violation of the law and it has not
been observed in this county.
at is my personal opinion" ker-
mon stated, that the lack of en-
forcement of states game and tlsn
laws, under the rules and regula-
tons of the Board of Conservation
and Development, was the prime
factor that promoted the Wildllfe
association to seek a separation
of the game from the Department
of Conservation and Development"
Another unhealthy condition, he
said, is 1.-The lack of sanitary faclll-
ties at Wrightsville for the crews
fishing there. This has constituted
a nuisance to the year-around resi-
dents along the beach"
Representative Kermon common
ded the local fishermen for or
ganizing to keep the public IN
formed as to laws that are benefl-
cial or detrimental to them or the
general public.

Manhattan and MY. u.
Threats for Main
Penn Meet Titles
By the Asseeiofsd Press

PHILADELPHIA, April 24.-If
past performances are any indica-
ton Manhattan College and New
York University may hold the main
titles after some 5000 athletes run
an estimated total Of 1,143 miles in
the annual Penn Relays this week
end.
The two New York schools pose a
definite threat to entries from Ten
nessee, Indiana, Illinois, Army and
Navy and other standouts in the
various fields. Both schools will pre-
sent balanced squads.
Illinois was last years big winner.
Manhattan won both the 4-mile
and distance medley championships
in the relay carnival last year, while
N. Y. U. was in contention in vir-
tually all the races it participated in
through failing to capture a title.
Indoors during the last winter,
the veteran N. Y. U. Emile relay
team, rated among the best in the
East, won the event in 1855, faster
than Arn1y's winning 1916 relay
time.
The powerful Violets won the team
title in the indoor IC4A champion
ship recently and hopeful of making
amends for what track experts COM
sidered a very disappointing per-
formance In last years Penn Relays.
Stanton Calender, Frank Dixon
and Ray Zoellner, 2-mile relay;
Dixon, zoellner and Maurice Cal
lender, distance medley, and Zoell-
ner, Reynolds Pearman, Maurice
Calender and Milford Parker, sprint
medley, figure to cut a large N. Y. U.
figure in determining the relay team
champion.
Bill Atkinson, indoor IC4A 1000
yard champion, Ed Flinter and Ed
Walsh will carry Manhattan's hopes
into the track carnival. Flinter and
Walsh ran on the champion 4-mile
relay team of last year.
These three Manhattan Jaspers,
along with the potent N. Y. U. team
may give the relays an alI-New York
flavor.
