THIRTY YEARS AGO.
TAKEN FROM THE 1917 FILES OF
THE MILFORD CHRONICLE

After having been brought before
Alderman Truitt on charges of hav-
ing run their automobiles with the
rear lights out, some of the Offend
ers have stated that their reasons
tor not needing the warning
whistles of the police officers was
because of the fact that boys and
young men in the town have
whistles exactly like those used by
the police officers. The boys, ac-
cOrdinS to the autOmObilistS, have
been making a practice of blowing
for them to halt, and after they
have complied with the whistle,
have laughed at them. The police
officers have been instructed to ar
rest any persons who are following
this practice. and at the next meet
of Town Council it is more than
likely that an ordinance prohibiting
any person from using a whistle
like those used by police force will
be enacted. Boys owning such
whistles had better dispose of them
for their own good. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
All of the steamboats, used at the
Lewes, Delaware fishing plants
have been taken over by the United
States Government, and will be us
ed for war purposes, such as mine
laying and work of a similar ma
ture. The Mary B. GainOr, the YES
per. and other steamers, have been
laid up at Seaford. and they have
been repaired and sent to Balti-
more. The Annie Z. GallOp and the
Fearless, owned by the Lewes Fish
Oil Company of Lewes are almost

|NikoIo Petkov, Peasant Leader

Rejection of U. S.,

BY the Associated Press

SOFIA, Bulgaria. Sept. 23.-
Nikola Petkov, peasant leader
and foe of the Communist
Party, was hanged at 1915 am.
today in Sofas central prison
on charges of plotting against
Bulgaria's Communist-controlled
government, an official an
nouncement said.
Both the United States and Brit
ain, denouncing his conviction as
miscarriage of justice, had urged
the Soviet Union to participate in
a big power review of Mr.. Petkov's
case, but the Russians refused on
grounds that this would be interfer-
ence in Bulgaria's internal affairs.
Bulgaria likewise rejected series
OF British and American protests.
The United States suggested that
the Bulgarians, by trying Mr.. Pet
kov, had placed themselves on trial
before the bar of world opinion.
Mr.. Petllov's appeal to the Su-
preme Court from the death penalty,
imposed August 16, was rejected

Soviet Opens NewAttack on S.
After Lie Asks East-West Peace
With Warning Against Fear Hate
Vishinsky Scores
Marshall for Stand
On Italian Treaty
BY the kssocioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Russia
launched a new broadside
against the United States today
after Secretary General Trygve
Lie in an extraordinary appeal
called on the bitterly quarreling
big powers to bury their differ
e9ces in the interest of peace
among the United Nations.
Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet Dep
uty Foreign Minister, opened his
new offensive by charging Secretary
OF State Marshall gave an 'incor-
,ectt" explanation of the big power
deadlock on Korean independence
He then assailed Gen. Marshall
who was sitting before him-fo1
supporting U. N. consideration of
recommendations for revision of the
Italian peace treaty. Mr. Vishinsky
charged that any action on this
question was a violation of the U. N
Charter.
Debate Begun on Agenda.
Mr.. Vishinsky spoke as the S.
nation General Assembly began de-
bate on it's formidable agenda, which
already had been approved by the
Assembly's 14-nation Steering Com
mittfe over Soviet opposition on
some sections. He demanded exclu-
sion of the items on Korea and
Italy.
MIR. Lie closed the Assembly's
week-long general debate with a plea
to the big powers to compromise
their differences which he said were
spreading fear and hate throughout
the world and Gripping the United
Nations.
Meanwhile, the Arab countries
lost the first round of the Palestine
battle when the Assembly overrode
their objections to creation of a
special 55-nation committee to con-
slider the Palestine question.
On the Korean question, Mr.
Vishinsky said Russia twice had SUBJ
mitted constructive proposals, but
these had not been accepted by the
United States. Therefore, he said
"the American delegate must bear
the responsibility" for the deadlock.
U. S. Attitude Attacked.
He said the Korean issue could not
legally be considered by the General
Assembly.
Turning to Italy, he declared that
the United States several times has
shown lack of precise attitude on
such questions" This case, Mr.
vishinsky went on, is another ex-
ample of the lack of ability of the
United States to respect interna-
tional agreements which have been
freely entered into"
Mr.. Vishinsky said those who sup
port the proposal to consider
changes in the Italian treaty have
a rather strange conception of
justice"
Mr.. Vlshinsky asked permission to
make a new statement of general
Soviet policy, but DR.. Oswaldo
Aranha of Brazil, Assembly presi-
dent, ruled that he must confine

The Weather Bureau predicted
sunny and warmer weather today
with temperatures in the upper COS.
Outlook for tomorrow is cloudy, it
was said, but warm weather will

will probably range in the lows 70s,

Today's weather was caused by a

swept in from Northern Canada and
the Great Lakes region, weather
authorities said.

The corn crop already has aeen
cut to the lowest level In II years
by adverse planting conditions last
spring and excessively dry weather

Midwest floods. The short corn crop
has been a major factor in the re-

prices since. it is the major feed
item used by the farmer.
Next Years Wheat Threatened.
Even next years wheat crop is
threatened, but by current dry
weather in the Texas Oklahoma
Kansas belt rather than by frost
So far there has not been sufficient
moisture to let the new winter crop
get well rooted before the cold comes.
Many farmers have held off plant
ing in hopes OF rain while others
are planting in what amounts to
dust. At this time last year the
