Republican misunderstanding
of the problem, he said, lis just as
dangerous to the peace OF the world
as Soviet obstinancy' in vetoing the
American plan for international
control Of the atom.

Democratic Party, to arouse the
people of America to the gigantic
work for peace which must be
undertaken through the instrument

Smith Says Parties Differ
In Methods, Not detectives

The differences between the po-
litical parties today is not one OF
detectives, but rather of methods.
George H. q. Smith, director OF the
Republican Policy Committee OF the
Senate, told the Washington branch
of the American Public Relations
Association yesterday.
Both parties are for full employ
ment and the arrest of imitation,
but they differ radically on how to
reach, these goals, he said. Because
of conflicting economic and social
interests within them, he said. the
political parties cannot announce a
clear-cut program. The platforms
must be broad umbrellas to cover
all elements.
The meeting was held in the,
Lafayette Hotel.

PEACE OFFENSIVE
 I5 BREAKING OUT OVER EAST. EUROPE
(By The Assoclated Press


 American officials expressed deep interest today in what appeared to be a Soviet peace offensive breaking out over Eastern Europe. They were skeptical that the Rus sians and their Communist allies intend to make any important con- sessions on problems splitting the West and East.
 Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky, Russian military governor for Ger many, said four-power agree ment on German currency reform is completely possible"
 Other peace offensive" moves came from Yugoslava and Bulgar- ia. Yugoslavia offered to settle UGMC claims. Bulgaria said she is willing to talk about swapping diplomats with Greece, against which the Red Balkan states have been snarling Russia's acceptance of an American proposal for a ten nation Danube shipping conference also was regarded as part of the Soviet plan.
 American officials guessed Rus sia might be trying to build a pro-peace record ahead of the fall meeting of the U. N. General Assembly in Paris or trying to re- gain lost prestige.
