 The State Department has al- ready released the secret talks be- tween Foreign Minister Ribben- trop and Foreign Minister Molotov in November, l940, by which Rus sia and Germany tried to concoct an alliance. but the documents re- garding the second peace attempt in l943 are still regarded confi- dental

Truman Warns
 South Of Another COP Depression
(By Ernest B. Vaccaro)

RALEIGN, N. C. (P)-President Truman called upon the south to- day to stand by the Democratic party in November or face "an- other ride in a Hoover cart" of de- pression.
 In an unvarnished appeal to dis senters to return 10 the party fold from which they fled when he submitted his civil rights propos- alS, the President said the Repub- licans hope they can fool enough of the people this time to capture the election by wasted Democratic votes"
 Without calling by name the States Rights ticket headed by Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, the President said the only choice in the campaign was between the Re publican and Democratic parties, and added:
 Other parties don't stand a chance"
 Mir. Truman described the Hoo yer cart" as a North Carolina farm inVention-"the remains of an old tin lizzie being pulled by mule because you couldn't afford to buy a new car or the gas for an old ore"
 He made his remarks in an ad- dress prepared for delivery at the state fair here. Earlier, he told another Raleigh audience to avoid being blinded and prejudiced" in casting their ballots in November.
