Reds Accuse Greeks
OF Faking Accounts ol
StdIin Interview
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 5.-The Moscow
radio announced tonight that Russia
had sent note of protest to Athens,
charging the Greek government
with responsibility for false news
paper reports hostile to the Soviet
Union.
Soviet Ambassador K. K. Rodionov
sent the note to the Greek Ministry
Of Foreign Affairs April /, the
broadcast said.
MIR. Rodionov has been summoned

Can Athens source said Friday
night that passports of Is of the
} 16 members of the Soviet en-
bassy staff in the Greek capital,
including Mr. Rodionoy, had been
sent to the foreign Office for exit
visas9
The text of the note as reported
by the broadcast:
"On March 28 Athens newspapers
closely connected with the Greek
government Eleftheria. Vima and
Etnikes Kirikos-published an in
terview allegedly given by General
issimo Stain to the Moscow cor
respondent of the American United
Press agency. The Salonika news
paper Macedonia was quoted as the
sorce of the information of that
interview.
"The so-caIled interview is an in
vention from beginning to end. and
In general no similar interview had
taken place.
"As to the content of this inter-
view 1t was fashioned after the pat
tern of other faxed stories hostile
to the Soviet Union which are pub
lished from time to time in press
organs close to the Greek govern
ment.
Regarding this situation as abb
solutely impermissible, the Soviet
government charges the Greek gov
ernment with responsibility for the
dissemination of the above-men-
toned faxed interview in Greek
press organs"
In New York, United Press
spokesman said the purported inter-
view, attributed to the UP by the
Salonika newspaper and picked up
by government newspapers in
Athens, was "a complete fake" He
said the news agency, which has in
vestigated the matter for several
days, asked that a denial of the ar
ticle be distributed in Greece.

We>the Women
BY RUTH
NEA Staff Writer

Henry Ford did more than any
man in the world to liberate Wom-
en- from the kitchen.
Household labor-savi1g devices
generally get the credit for freeing
women from the walls of home
and the demands of family life.
But the low priced family car
really opened up the outside world
to women.
Until they could load the chill
dren into a car and set out for an
afternoon of visiting or shopping,
women were really home-bound.
The low-priced car made It pos
sible for the small income family
to know the refreshing experience
Of a weekend fishing trip and a
day at the beach.
1t let the farm woman get to the
city, opened up the country to the
city dweller.
II gave women a chance TO real
ly go places and see things when
their husbands vacations came
along. The chance to tour the
country in the family a opened
UP the whole country to women.

DEMOCRATS DENY
NEGROES OMITTED
Leaders Answer Charges
Negroes Deprived Con-

COLUMBIA, S. c., April 15.-R
The South Carolina Democratic
party commended today that its
rule limiting membership exclu-
sively to whites did not deprive
Negroes of any rights provided for
them by the U. S. Constitution.
Party leaders filed their answer,
in Federal District court to a
suit brought in the name OF a
Columbia Negro, George Gilmore,
to test the legality of the white
supremacy setup.
In it they asserted that Elmore
had mot been deprived OF any
rights, privileges or immunities
secured or protected under the
constitution of the United States"
because it was. commended, he land
others in a like situation have full
and complete liberty to organize
their W nominating primary and
vote for such nominees in the
general election"
The answer challenged the juris-
diction of the court, declaring,
mo substantial federal question is
involved. The alleged federal
questions are merely pretepslve.'
1t explained that 1.-The Demo
cratic party Of South Carolina is
a private, voluntary association
Of individuals, mutually acceptable
to each other, and is not created
or regulated by virtue of any
statute or law but solely by the
rules of the said voluntary asso-
ciation."
The state legislature, at a special
session in 1914, repealed all laws
pertaining to the primary, with the
announced purpose Of making the
party primaries not subject to
