Finn Delegates Called
Back From Moscow
Get New Instructions
BY N. A..oe,o,.d Pres,

HELSINKI, Finland, April B.
Ffnland's leaders decided today
after a week of deliberation. On
their answer to the security pact
requested by the Soviet Union To
complete the Russian chain of alli-
ances from the Black Sea to the
Arctic.
The cabinet met with President
JUNO Paasikivi at the presidential
palace in what was described by
responsible sources as a decisive
session.
An oficial statement said addi-
tional instructions were approved
which win be sent to the Moscow
delegation that has received a
Soviet draft OFFS proposed friend
ship and military agreement.
Delegates Returning to Moscow.
Urho Kekkonen and J. o. Soc
derhjelm, the two delegates who
returned here from the detailed
discussions, will 60 back to Moscow
on a Russian plane tomorrow and
take the new instructions with
them.
The 7s-year-old Paasikiu ap-
peared very tired and strained
after the lengthy consultations with
cabinet, parliamentary party chair
men and personal advisors, in
formants said The cabinet session
was deferred until afternoon be-
cause he was too worn to receive
the ministers in the morning.
Responsible sources said he hac
drafted preliminary reply to Mos.
COW In mid-week, but never sent it
Military Agreement Approved.
His original reply was said to have
agreed that Finland would defend
her borders in the event Of an at.
tack directed against the Soviet
Union, but that Finland would be
free to determine when such an at
tack threatened and when military
cooperation with the Russians
should begin.
Whether the final directive fol-
lowed the same line could not be
learned.
Earlier. most of the parliamentary
groups were against any military
agreement at all.
One OF the main reasons foI
bringing the two delegates back
from Moscow, it was reported, was
to determine at first, hand how far
Finland Guild go in limiting the
scope Of the proposed military
clauses.
A threatening Communist press
campaign against the majority OF
parliament which opposes military
clauses continued. The Communist
organ, Tyokansan Sanomat, de-
clared: This rubbish element must
be wiped out of history, at least in
the next elections If not earlier"
The newspaper said there are
dirty intriguers who imagine by
trying to postpone a solution they
can still discover a way to join the
imperialistic war camp"

sought to enter and were turned
away were number OF supervisory
oncials and about dozen others
who brought food for those remain
ing inside. All the food was in
spected by the American guards
before it was taken inside by Ger
man police. The Americans them
selves could not enter the building
because two Soviet guards with
guns and bayonets stood just inside
the entrance.
When the guards arrived the
Russians asked, Are we being
evicted?"
IF you leave you cannot get
back" replied the colonel IN charge.
you will have to judge for your
self. These are my orders"
I'VE don't want to starve them
out" was an Americans answer to
why food was permitted to go in.
Col. Frank L. Howley, head Of
United States Military Government
in Berlin, said the building was cor
doned off because the Russians had
been sending in guards there after
dark" .
1t was explained that the United
States could not permit Soviet
armed guards to take over territory
or buildings that are under Ameri-
can jurisdiction.
Soviet Protest Considered.
Col. Howley said Gen. Alexander
Kotikov, Russian commandant in
Berlin, had protested. Gen. Kotikov
was said to have explained that the
Soviet guards had been sent in be-
cause of reports that criminal" ele-
ments were plotting to destroy rec
ords in the building.
Col. Howley said Gen Lucius D.
Clay, American commander in Ger
many, would take Gen. Kotikov's
protest under consideration "at the
earliest opportunity"
He bluntly declared, 'if there is
any building in our sector that needs
protection we feel we are adequate
to do it without Russian help"
He said the telephone to the
building had not been cut off and
there were no plans to dislodge the
Russians remaining inside.
If they want to live and work
there, H&all right with us, shs said,
tut' "We~will not admit any other
Russians until this thing is settled"
No Explanation of Blockade.
There was no explanation of the
blockade of the Potsdam road that
was established by an American
officers six soldiers and two German
policemen at IL am. yesterday close
to the Soviet boundary.
1t did not create much excitement,
as the Russians began diverting
their traffic to other routes as soon
as they got wind of it.
1t appeared the American move
was an outright counter to the
establishment two days ago of tenn
porary Soviet road blocks along the
edge OF their sector in Berlin.
Field Marshal Lord Montgomery,
British chief Of the imperial staff,
arrived in Helle today to see Gen.
Sir Brian Robertson, British COM
mander in Germany. He was nom
