What the Russians
Are Saying of Us

The Moscow radio, broddcastin
In English to the United Kingdom
dSt meek said:
"It is common knowledge that
the U. S. A. is today interfering
in the domestic affairs of Greece
most openly, and that is the
reason why the U. S. A. tried to
put through the Security Council
a decision. which had no bearing
on the actual causes of the pres
ent situation in Greece.
THE U. S. A. tried to exoner-
ate the party really guilty for the
situation and to lay the blame at
the door of ! Greece's peaceful
neighbors.
The Soviet Union, through its
representatives in the Security
Council, prevented these plans
from being realized. OF course,
this is not to the liking of their
sponsors. who are resorting to all
kinds of political blackmail.
Nevertheless, facts remain
facts, and it is precisely the dis
cussion on Greece in the Security
Council that brought out most
strikingly the fact that the
U. S. A. wants to use the author
ity of the U. N. as a screen for its
interventionist policy aimed at
robbing the Greek people of their
independence."

Reds Reject U. 5. Plan
For Korean PIebiscife
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Aug. 28.-Russia rejected
today an American proposal for an
internationally supervised general
election in Korea to let Koreans
themselves decide their form Of
government.
Col. Gen. Terenty Shtikov, chief
of the Russian delegation on the
joint commission, made a counter
proposal that the deadlocked COM
mission name an "all-Korean peo-
pies assembly,
Maj. Gen. Albert E. Brown, CHEF
of the American delegation, had
proposed the plebiscite to replace
the oral consultations, which have
been stalled because the two powers
cannot agree on whom to consult.
Gen. Shtikov issued a statement
saying he was ready to agree" to
abandon oral consultation.
He proposed, however, that the
commission appoint a consultative
peoples assembly from groups
which fully uphold the Moscow de-
cision and do not oppose the COM
mission and the Allied powers"
Thus he returned to the cause Of
the current deadlock, since the Rus
slams have refused to consult rightist
groups because they have opposed
the Allied trusteeship.
The American position is that only
Korean Communists or Communist
controlled groups have not opposed
the trusteeship, and the Russians
thus would exclude all but them
from consultation.
Gen. Shtikov asserted Gen.
Browns election proposal was made
with a pure propaganda aim"

Publicity for Sex Crime Praised
By Judqes, Prosecutors, Police
More Cases Brought
To Court Since Star
Started Campaign

Frank newspaper discussion of
the need for a stringent law to
curb sex crimes here was praised
by court officials today for en-
couraging witnesses to overcome
their reluctance to bring these
cases into court.
Judges, prosecutors and police all
noted the sharp increase in the
number of sex crimes brought into
court since The Star eight days ago
started publishing daily news stories
as part Of its continuing campaign
for strong statute to deal with sex
offenders.
These officials were unanimous in
expressing their belief that this
publicity has encouraged witnesses
to file charges and testify against
the offenders in court.
Judge John P. Mcmahon, who
since August has presided over the
District branch of the court where
indecent-exposure charges are pre-
|sented, declared:
Newspaper publicity Of this ma
ture always has beneficial and
wholesome effect. There has been

Hero of Italian War
Pushed as Neutral
Premier in Greece
Gen. Popoeos Mentioned
Increasingly as Heed
Of Coalition Regime
BY the Associated Press

ATHENS, Aug. 28.-Generalis-
simo Alexander Papagos, Greece's
hero of the Greek-Italian cam
paign in 1941, was mentioned in
creasingly today as the most
likely candidate to head "neu-
trail" coalition Greek government
and end a cabinet crisis now in
its sixth day.
Premier Designate Constantin
Tsaldaris, thWarted in his efforts to
organize government, scheduled a
meeting today with political leaders
who participated in the cabinet of
Demetrios Maximos, which fell last
Saturday, to examine the possibility
of forming new coalition.
This was interpreted as meaning
that he had given up hope of form
ing a government and had accepted
the principle of having a neutral
Premier named to patch up broad
coalition as the sole means of break
ing the long deadlock.
The name of Gen. Papagos, now
a court chamberlain, was the one
most frequently mentioned in in
formed political quarters.
Major Battle Reported.
Labor and industry joined together
to submit resolution to Greek po-
litical leaders urging them to make
a sincere effort to form a national
government Immediately" 1t urged
them to put aside every other mo-
tive" for the good of the nation.
The Ioannina correspondent for
the Athens newspaper Embros re-
ported that a well-equipped guer-
rilla force of more than 500 men
moving southeastward oward
Agrafa had been engaged in a major
battle
This apparently was a portion of
the force which the guerrilla radio
earlier said had liberated" 100 vii
lagos and over $50 square miles of
Greek territory in the north.
Referring to Greek reports of
conflict between him and American
Ambassador Lincoln MacVeagh over
the Greek crisis, Dwight P Girls
void told reporters maybe some
Greek political leaders are trying to
cause a disagreement between us"

Chinese Red Raiders
Drive Toward Hankow
By the Associofed Press

NANKING, Aug. 28.-Communist
raiders under one-eyed Gen. Liu
Po-cheng, driven from South
western Shantung province, have
cut a wide swath through the
Honan-A n-Anhwei border country to
reach areas within $50 miles of
Hankow, field reports said today.
The official Central News Agency
said defending forces had inflicted
severe casualties on Red forces in
the mountains along the border,
but admitted loss of several towns
to the Communists.
Reports indicated the lightly
burdened Red Troops marched
more than 200 miles in one week
from Western Shantung into
Southern Honan. Gen. Liu's
forces apparently were bent on
doing as much damage as possible
before they are forced northward
into Red strongholds in Shansi
province
Most active fighting appeared to
be midway between Kaifeng and
Hankow along and east of the
Peiping Hankow railroad. The
government admitted loss of two
towns northeast of the railtown of
Sinyang.
Meanwhile, Central News de-
scribed as most critical" the situa-
ton at the government base of
Loyang, 100 miles west of Kaifeng
on the Lunghai railroad. The
Reds were said to have captured
towns within six miles of Loyang.
but other reports said government
relief columns had cleared the line.
Field reports said the Reds had
destroyed more than 10 bridges and
tunnels along the railroad.

that he would obtain the written
