members were involved in the plot.
Gottwald demanded that repre-
sentatives of Agrarian, labor, vet
Grams, youth and partisan organiza-
tions, all Communist front groups,
be allowed to replace the resigned
ministers.
His denunciations of the other
parties were cheered at the mass
meeting in the old town square
which Communists said was attend
ed by 100000. To observers the
number appeared less than 100000.
At the rally the foreign reaction
theme was hammered hard. 1t also
was stressed in articles in the pro-
Communist press.
Josef Kronar, deputy mayor of
Prague and district secretary OF the
Communist Party, charged that
American and British spies are
roaming Czechoslovakia and making
a headquarters for espionage and
activity against Soviet Russia"
Kronar is a communist deputy in

.Cottwald said in his speech that
the country was "spy-infested' but
he did not name the Western ma

One Communist front newspaper
charged that Czechoslovakia had be-
come the base of international spies
who opposed the popular democ-
racies. 1t added that the United
States is employing direct espionage
methods with the aid of spies
streaming into Czechoslovakia from
Bavaria.

Jan Hus, Bohemia's religious hero

before the offices of the Czech Ma

Gottwald demanded new govern

for reorganization of the local and

Southerners have found the Sen
ate, rather than the House, their
main line of defense in fighting
similar race legislation in past ses-
sions. That is because of differ
ence in the rules of the two bodies.
The general practice of unlimited
debate in the Senate has enabled
them to talk the bills to death.
Cloture Rule Is Key.
But there is a chink in that de-
fense-the cloture bill. Cloture is
q device by which two-thirds of
those voting can limit each Sen
ator to a single, one-hour speech
on a bill and all amendments.
The Southerners were said to be
able to tally at this time only Is
sure votes-eight short of the
strength needed il all 96 Senators
voted-to ward off the cloture rule.
Traditionally the Southerners
have been able to avoid adoption of
the gag rule because of Republican
help.
In the last previous test, July 81,
1916. seven Republicans joined the
Southerners to ward off cioture on
9 bill to outlaw State poll taxes as
a requirement for voting in Federal
elections. They were Senators

unwilling to go along this year.

Negro Democrats Barred
From Oklahoma Meeting
By the A,soeiotsd Press


McALESTER, Okla, Feb. 21.-Two
colored delegates were denied ad-
mission to the Young Democrats
State Conention today, but the pre-
siding officer said the action was
not sanctioned by the convention
itself.
The Negroes, A. c. johnson and
Dalphin Thompson of Oklahoma
City, were stopped at the conven-
ton door in the Aldridge Hotel by
Police Sergt. Mike Mayfeld and
Deputy Sheriff Thad Conn. Both
officers said they acted on request
of league officials.
However, Buck Cartwright Of
Wewoka. State president of the
Young Democrats, insisted. the or
ganization had not acted to bar the
colored delegates.
Few delegates in the convention
were aware of the incident until
later. There was no immediate in
dication whether the question Of
seating the Negroes, who were part
of a delegation of 73 from Oklahoma
County, would come before the con-

crowd thundered, Long live the
government Of Premier Gottwald
without the reactionaries."
Later, Gottwald again conferred
with Mr.. Benes, but the president
did not give in to his demands.
On the other hand he had not
capitulated to the Czech National
Socialist, Slovak Democrat and
Catholic Peoples Parties who yes
terday withdrew from the cabinet
in a deadlock over alleged Commu-
mist efforts to build a police state
The three parties demanded the
Communist minister of the interior
rescind his order for the replace
ment of eight nom Communist dis
trict police supervisors in Prague
and surrounding area. The Com
munists refused to back down.
But the bigger issue appeared to
be whether Czechoslovakia is to be
led into the out-and-out pro-Soviet
bloc. The Communists were
believed to have staged the maneu-
yer to force the Communists into an
early general election before they
are prepared.
Reds in Cabinet.
The Communists won 38 per cent
of the representation in the Con-
stituent Assembly at the last elec-
ton in May, 1916, and have seven
ministers in the government. The
Assembly has not yet written a
constitution.
The fourth nom Communist party
in the government, the Social
Democrats, stood with the other
three yesterday on demands that
the Communists rescind their police
order. But they had not yet re-
signed from the government.
A party statement said Social
Democrats would not serve in a
government with Communists alone.
But there we're evidences of a split
in the partys ranks. Some were

Of power in the cabinet. Its votes
gave the Communists
enough to win on important issues.
