BY fhe Assoeiofed Press

PRAGUE, Mar. 26.-The official
government news agency announced
last night that a parliamentary
elections will be held in Czecho-
slovakia May %.
The cabinet unanimously ap-
proved the date. There were in
dications that all parties recognized
by the Communist government will
have their own candidates. Ad-
vocates of a single slate of candi-
dates, made up of Communists and
persons conforming to the Com
munist program, were said to be
losing ground.
Communist Premier Klement
Gottwald said the elections will be
held in the manner specified by
law, which provides for a contest
among parties.
Charges of participating in q con-
spiracy against the state were
raised by the public prosecutor
yesterday against Adolf Prochazka,
former health minister, and his
wife, Helena Kozelhova, a prom
inent publicist.
Mr.. Prochazka, his wife and
daughter have escaped from the
country They eluded security

Authorities said they were accom-.
panied by large group of students

BERLIN, Mar. 26.-The Soviet
Military Administration announced
today that it is ready to support
four-power control machinery in
Germany in certain circumstances.
1t still refused, however. to call a
new council meeting which would
get the wheels started again.

tions of occupation powers in the

Marshall VASTLY d. Sokolovsky
the Soviet commander, walked out
of the last Control Council meet
ing Saturday after a long TRADE
against the western powers. Since
then, all agencies of the council, ex-
cept the kommandatura which runs
Berlin itself, have been stalled by a
Russian boycott and a western pow
er counterboycott started when the
Russians showed some signs of re-
lenting.
The western powers said they
would continue their boycott until
the Soviet authorities, in their
capacity as four power chairmen for
the month Of March, call q new

Gen. Lukjantschenko's exposition

CLUB FORMED
CONTINUED from Page onel

Richardson Dilworth and Major
Harry Booker were mentioned as
possible speakers. Following cleo
ton of officers the meeting was
marked by discussion concerning
the duties and responsibilities of
the organization. There was
general feeling among the men,
bers who attended that there is
strong need for younger active
members in the party-especially
those running for Office. The main
objective in mind, as set forth by
Hughes, is to see that all voters
are properly registered for the
coming election. One member
pointed out that voters, even
though they registered and voted
in the 1916 election, should check
with their respective registration
boards in October to see that their
names are still on the books. This,
he explained, is precaution
against the possibility of error or
in case names have been
transferred from one book to an
other. Allen Cook, candidate for
representative in the State Legis-
lature from Kenton, attended the
gathering. 1t was decided earlier,
according to Wilson, that men or
women over 40 years of age be ad-
mitted to the organization as hon
orary members upon application.
The Kent County branch of Young
Democrats will meet the second
of each month for the re-
of the summer.

Unpleasant Odors

The unpleasant odors from Lake
Como, caused by draining it to re-
pair bridges, is becoming a source
of much annoyance to the resi-
dents in that part of the town who
are fearing at any time the break
ing out of typhoid epidenmic.
The bridges should have been re-
paired in the early spring or late
fall. This would have been much
more in accordance with the rules
of sanitary science, than to subject
the citizens to the unpleasantness
during this season of the year. 1t
is to be hoped that nothing serious
will result from the course taken.
The work of placing in new bridges
is about complete and travel once
more given over that causeway.
School Board Meets
The School Board of our Smyr-

not known just what the Board
will do until they meet again the
last of this month. 1t naturally
keeps the teachers wondering what
will be the outcome of that meet
ing.
