By the Associated Press

dinal Mindszenty, primate Of Hun
gary, has sent a letter to Premier
Lajos Dinnyes protesting that "a
considerable number" of Catholics
have been deprived of their right to
vote" in the August 81 elections.
The letter, written on behalf of
the Hungarian Council Of Bishops,
added:
TT is essential that the Hungarian
government find method of cor
recting these abuses in due time,
and that,it should not endanger the
country by having elections, the fair
ness and validity of which can be
doubted"
The letter was delivered Saturday
but has not yet appeared in the
Hungarian lay press. 1t said:
THE situation is especially con-
spicious at this time because it is an
infringement of rights belonging to
every one on the basis of democratic
equality, and also denial Of the
rights of citizens granted in the
new Hungarian constitution.
I'VE especially object to those as
sertions which are not true and In
many cases libelous on the basis of
which the depriWng Of rights was
based" "

70 May Be Indicted
In Spy Ring Probe

Sources close to the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation indicated here
today that at least 20 former Gov
ernment employees probably will be
indicted by a grand jury in New
York for association with the Com
munist spy ring in Canada, and
other activities in violation of war
time espionage laws.
For the last 80 days Justice De-
partment attorneys have been pre-
senting evidence to the grand jury
concerning the tieup between Ca
madam Communists and American
Reds. The information before the
grand jury, obtained by the FBI
consists of mass of summary re-
ports being presented individually
In all, 141 United States residents
are involved in the Communist plot
1t is believed that all, in one way
or another. aided the Canadian
ring in obtaing data concerning
atomic energy and other war secrets
for shipment to the Kremlin. In.
formation obtained today, however
indicates that only 20 individuals
in this group would face court actor
in the first postwar expose of thi!
nature. Other indictments will b.
sought, it is clear, if the Justice De
partment is successful in its pre-
liminary efforts before the gran,
jury.
Most Of the 20 individuals ex
pected to be indicted are believes
to have been employees Of the Stat
Department. Several are reporte.
to have held important posts in tn
diplomatic service.

Soviet Trains Soldiers
From kindergarten
Age, Teachers Hear
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Aug. 20. George S.
Counts of Teachers College, Colum-
bia University, said last night that
recent changes in Soviet education
indicates children are being trained
for military life from the time they
are in kindergarten.
He told the annual convention of
the AFL American Federation of
Teachers that changes in Soviet
education should be studied by
statesmen throughout the world be-
cause of the light they throw on
Soviet domestic and foreign policy"
Mr.. Counts said Soviet education
is an instrument for the fulfillment
of the purpose of the state and is
directed in all important matters
by the high leadership of the all
union Communist Party.
Three recent changes in Soviet
education" he said, have inter-
national significance. In 1943 CO.
education was abolished throughout
the period of elementary and secon-
dairy education in communities large
enough to support two systems for
boys and girls
The purpose of this, he added,
was the "differential of the military
physical preparation of the youth OF
the two sexes"
He said a second change which
has been going on for the last 10
years Is more emphasis on what is
called Soviet patriotism" This
meant, he added, an instilling in the
minds Of the young an unqualified
loyalty to the motherland and to
leaders of the Communist Party,
especially Prime Minister Stain.
ut means also instilling burning
hatred toward all enemies Mr..
Counts added. He said a carefully
organized program of military
training which begins formally in
the fourth grade actually extends
down to kindergarten where chill
dren play Red Army soldier.
ANY program for disarmament
in the world must take into account
this threat to world peace" Mr..
Counts declared.
Selma Borchardt of Washington,
a vice president of the organization,
told delegates that Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, "has put bill
through Congress which would, if
unchallenged, wipe out freedom of
the press"
Criticizing the Taft Hartley law
as "the most drastic curb on Amer
ican liberties enacted in years." she
said:
The law denies us the right to
publish one word of criticism of the
men who wipe out funds with which
to protect our children"

Morrison Challenges
Report That AttIee
Intends 10 Resign
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The London
Daily Mail said today Prime Minis
ter Attlee intended to resign Gin the
near future" but the report was
challenged by Mr.. Attlee's deputy,
Herbert Morrison.
Il saw it in only one paper" Mr.
Morrison told a news conference,
land, as far as I can see, the story
does not know what it's talking
about"
The Daily Mail, an independent
Conservative newspaper, said M.
Attlee intended to step out because
of deteriorating health and nervous
exhaustion after the British-Ameri-
can loan revision talks in Washing
ton passed their most critical stage.
AS Lord President of the Council,
Mr.. Morrison is second to Mr.. Attlee
in the organization of the British
government.
First Flat Report.
The Mails front-page story, the
first fiat report published in Britain
that the Labor Party leader might
quit, declared that sit was said in
usually well-informed circles" that
Mr.. Attlee would nominate Foreign
Secretary Bevin as his successor.
Mr.. Attlees was in Wales vacation
ing, and spokesman at No. 10
Downing Street, his official resi-
dence, said he was expected back in
about week.
Mr.. Attlee has been under heavy
fire inside the Labor Party for his
handling Of the British economic
crisis and survived severe test of
his leadership only last ewek, when
Labor members of Parliament re-
portedly Endorsed by a margin of
but four votes his decision to delay
steel naturalization.
Mirror Called for Resignation.
Winston Churchill, the opposition
leader, broadly suggested on the
floor of the House of Commons
August II that Mr.. Attlee might be
discarded as lacking in color or
for some other reason" Earlier
than that, on July %, the Daily
Mirror, an ardent supporter of So
cialism, called on the Prime Min
lister to resign, suggesting as an al
tentative that rank and file Labor
members of Parliament force him
out if he did not leave voluntarily.
The cabinet held an extraor-
dinary session last Sunday, about
which all cabinet ministers have
been silent since. Some authorita-
tive informants said it was called
to discuss the Washington loan re-
vision talks The Mail said it was
at that meeting that Mr.. Attlee
agreed to carry on until those con-
versations had passed their critical
stages.
Mr.. Attlee's health has been de-
teriorating for some time ="
said the Mails story, written by
its veteran political correspondent,
Wilson Broadbent. while dele
eating authority, Mr.. Attlee has
always insisted on doing a tre-
mendous amount of work. This has
led to nervous exhaustion.
without doubt, the present un-
rest within the Labor Party and his
inability to placate the would-be
rebels in the past three weeks must
have reinforced Mr.. Attlee's decision
to heed medical advice"

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1947-09-18

Bluffton Highs inexperienced grid
machine found the going a little too
rough at Kenton last Friday night
and came home smarting under the
sting of a 10 to 0 setback in their
first Western Buckeye league tilt
of the season.
A tumble early in the game, lead
ing to the first Kenton touchdown,
spoiled what looked like a good be-
ginning for the Pirates. After run
ming the opening kickoff back to
their own Il, Bluffton moved to the
27-yard line where they fumbled
and Kenton recovered. The Hardin
county outfit then drove across the
goal in six plays for the initial
tally.
For a time it looked as if the
Pirates had recovered nicely, for
they returned the following kickoff to
the A, then a quick-kick by Jim
Howe dropped the oval dead on
Kenton's three-yard stripe.
Kenton moved UPHELD TO the 46
then kicked to Bluffton on the 33,
where the ball again was fumbled
with Kenton recovering. That time
it took only two plays for the home
