Benes Holding Regime
Together, Resisting
Communist Pressure
Tells Reds He Intends to
Preserve Parliamentary
Czech Government
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Feb.
21.-President Eduard BeneS,
ailing and tired, continued to
hold the Czechoslovak govern
ment together tonight by re-
sisting Communist pressure.
He told the Communists, from
Premier Klement Gottwald on down,
that he would not allow anything
but a parliamentary government
with parties now in the National
Front continuing to be represented.
He also declared he would not allow
the Communists, the largest single
party, to be excluded
Mr.. Benes thus refused to accept
the designations of the ministers Of
three anti Communist parties in a
deadlock over alleged Communist
attempts to institute a police state,
ard rejected Communist demands
for a elear-eut pro-Soviet govern
ment ~
His answer was made public after
a series of conferences and a public
rally at which the Communists
voiced their demands.
Then the president went to Lany,
his country estate, to let the situa-
ton stew over the week end.
Receives Left Wing Leader.
There, it was reported, he re-
ceived zdenek Fierlinger, former
premier and left-wing Social Demo-
crat leader. Fierlinger was removed
from his party Craftsmanship last
November by the party congress be-
cause of his continued close alliance
with Communists.
The Social Democrats yesterday
stood by the other three anti-Com-
munist parties in the five-party
government in their demands that
the Communists rescind an order
for the replacement of eight nom
Communist police supervisors in
Prague and nearby districts. But
they did not tender their resigna-
tions from the government along
with the other parties. A party
statement declared they would not

munists only. But there was
schism in the party, with many
openly Communist. Commu-
nists were openly counting the
party.
The Communist campaign to force
Mr. Benes to accept the designations
of the cabinet ministers represent
ing the Czech National Socialists,
Slovak Democrats and Catholic
Peoples began last night, Gottwald
went to the president and asked
permission to name new ministers
replacing those who had quit. The
president refused.
Gottwald renewed his demands at
a Communist mass meeting today
then he went back to the president
with a delegation of 55 miners and
factory workers.

He took with him a resolution
calling the resigned ministers

kY fhe Assoeioted Press


Americas four-year plan for ia
pans recovery may take eight years
to succeed.
American officials were reported
yesterday to be coming around to
such a view, unless the East-West
global struggle eases. They blame
the march of Communism in China
and Japan's own internal troubles.
The China crisis is blamed for
adding to American-Japanese diff

to Japanese unrest, reduced further

exports, and clouded prospects that
the Japanese steel industry can
again get coking coal and iron from

American coal now is being ship
ped at heavy expense from as far
away as Hampton Roads, Va, to
keep the steel mills going
Also made uncertain by the Com
