WILKES-BARRE, Pa, April H.
Big de-silting plants Of the Hudson
and Glen Alden coal companies
here were inspected today by rep
resentatives of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin.
The plants are designed to keep
mine refuse from polluting streams
of the region.
The visit concluded a two-day
tour by commission representatives
under guidance of the Pennsylvania
Department of Mines.
Engineers Of the Sanitary Water
Board were assigned to conduct the
tour in advance of the quarterly
meeting of the commission here next
Monday and Tuesday.
The tour is divided in two sections.
The first group went to Branch

|YugosIavs' Protest
On Bridges Rejected
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

The State Department has re-
jected Yugoslav protest over a
Senate speech made by Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire, it was learned yesterday.
The protest was directed at Sena-
tor Bridges recommendation that
the United States encourage under
ground activities in countries within
the Russian orbit.
The speech was delivered on
March "a and the Yugoslav protest
came quickly.
Undersecretary of State Lovett. in
note on April 13, replied the re-
marks of a member of Congress are
not considered a proper subject for
representations by foreign gov
ernment. Furthermore, Mr., Lovett
said, under the American Constitu-
ton the State Department does not
feel called on to comment on them.
Senator Bridges. in his speech, de-
clared that the Nation must Eek
terminate the Communist influence
within our own Government, oppose
Communist hostility along our bor-
ders, and undermine Communist ty-
ranny in areas already conquered.

craft must be speeded. Mr.. Syming-
ton pointed out to the Presidents
Air Policy Commission that the in
dustry would require some time to
produce planes in volume.
Currently the USAF has less than
half a dozen fighter groups using
let planes and only few sample
types of Jet bombers.
The 70-group force is the size air
arm planned Immediately after
World War II. But the Air Force
could not maintain 10 full-strength
groups with the money it had and
so, instead of following the Army
and Navy practice of operating
part-strength units, it cut its total
groups to IS and kept these 55

slush of poster debris that reminded
them of the campaign issues.
In Naples, some voters on their
way to the polls could see the Israel
Putnam, Americas 600th aid ship to
Italy, busily disgorging its 5000
tons of American wheat. That was
a symbol of the Marshall Plan-one
of the biggest campaign issues and
one of the toughest hurdles for the
Communists.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi OF the
Middle of -the-Road Christian Dem
ocratic Party, summed up the issues
in a newspaper interview as an Iron
alternative" between regime OF
liberty or Bolshevik totalitarianism."
There was no doubt that the big
gest part of Italy's 29,147,221 eligible
voters would cast ballots for the
STA deputies and 237 Senators.
Most observers believed the Com
munists had weakened and that
the moderate parties would come
out on top.
Security Force Strengthened.
The tough preparations Of In
terror Minister Mario Scelba to
guarantee the right Ct the people
to choose without intimidation re-
f1ected the breadth of Italy's
decision.
The public security forces were
told to:
/. Deal forcefully with any one
trying to intimidate voters.
2. Keep crowds moving-voters
must not be allowed to collect or
loiter around polling places after
voting.
3. Look for "ob obstructionism"
territorial delays Nin voting for in
stance-calculated to make waiting
voters give up and go home.
4. Prevent electioneering around
the polls.
In the last three weeks the Sc
curity forces, reorganized and re-
equipped with American and
British surplus arms, tanks and
armored cars) have put on impress
sive displays in potential trouble
spots in both Northern and South
ern Italy. Under radio direction
they have moved by column in and
out of towns, concentrated, famed
out in simulated searches and re-
concentrated.
Suspension Threat Needed.
Yesterday these forces busily re-
inforced the governments decree
ordering a ban on public political
meetings for 30 hours before the
opening of the polls. But police
forces could not put an end to the
incessant arguments on curbstone
and in cafe.
Mr.. Scelba in a closing speech
Friday night said the government
will be on the watch-if the liberty
Of the vote should be compromised
it would not hesitate to take the
most radical measures, even the
suspension of the elections
But there seemed no likelihood
such drastic action would have to be
taken.
The government preparations ap-
parently had impressed Palmiro
Togliatti, whose lieutenants have
boasted of tens of thousands OF
partisan-t trained youths" ready to
act at their call.
Told of Mr.. Scelbas warning
Mr.. Togliatti said there ought not
to be any trouble, and there will
not be because we have all under
taken to respect the electoral liberty

sumers when new shipments begin
arriving in town on Monday"
Mr.. Deck said the new prices will
continue throughout the year be-
cause there is little likelihood that
there will be excess coal available
at less than contract prices during
the year ahead.
Recalling the difficulty the indus
try had making up lost production
after the 1916 strike, one coal as
sociation official agreed it would be
almost impossible to regain the 40
100000 tons lost during the recent
stoppage. Even though the mines
could step up production somewhat,
it would be of little avail because
the railroads can handle only about
100000 tons week, he said.
Admitting there was some profit
eering" in the coal industry, he
maintained nevertheless that the
overhead piling up during nonpro-
ductive periods at mines was ire
mendous" and that this factor un-
doubtedly contributed to the new
price increase.
Senator Flanders said the bidding
up of prices could be discouraged
by allocating export coal at domestic
prices. This should be done not
only to protect the taxpayer who
buys the coal for European con-
sumption, but to prevent the bid
ding up of the domestic market, he
said.
The steel mills take advantage OF
the artificial scarcity to bid
against independent and domestic
consumers, he added.
One mistake the industry is max
ing in raising prices on the off
season" is to discourage early buying
of coal, Mr.. Montgomery said. This
will add woes to the transportation
problems such as pinched the coun-
try last winter, he said.

Some American officials believe
that the Russians may very we'll
figure this is their last chance for
some time to expand westward. At
the same time there is considerable
hope here that the Russians will
be unwilling to risk an open conflict
by pressing their designs in Italy

Halt Hufferiies" plan adopted-A

land expansion IN Teton county was
adopted at mass meeting of citizens
held at Choteau. The plan proposed
by a special committee headed by
D. P. Fabrick would request the Hut
terites, themselves, to desist from
further expansion of their colonies
in the county and would ask the
landowners in the county to pledge
not to sell or lease their land to
Hutterites.
Fabrick reported that the COM
mittee had met previously with rep
resentatives of three Hutterite col
onies in Teton county and one in
Pondera and the sect members had
agreed to give an answer to the nom
expansion request later.
The question of land ownership
pledges was put to those present at
the mass meeting, and more than SO
landowners attending signed the
pledge. Other owners in the coun-
ty are to be contacted.
MIR. Tanner of the Tanner agency
of Lethbridge, which negotiated re-
cent purchases of land in Teton
county for the Hutterites, flew down
to attend the meeting and repre-
sent the Hutterites. He stated that
there are only 5000 Hutterites in the
world, mainly in Alberta, Manitoba,
South Dakota and Montana. He
promised he would not attempt to
bring any more colony projects into
the county but pointed out that the
Gault colony needs more land "to
support 90 people where two lived
before" and indicated that the sect
contemplates acquisition of more
land in the county.
