FALSE ALARMS
Firemen Seeking Help in Find
ing Perpetrators of False
Alarms
MANY TELEPHONE CALLS

John w. Jacobs, Jr., president of
the Citizens Hose Company, an
nounced this week that a second
false alarm within a short time
sent the local fire company to
Blackiston's Cross Roads on Sun
day afternoon. Besides the false
alarms, the emergency phone rings
several times day, and when the
caretaker answers, the phone goes
dead. Mr.. Jacobs stated that due
to these practices which seem to
have taken shape in the last few
weeks, the police have launched
an extensive investigation. The po-
lice and the local firemen solicit
the support of the public in assist
ing with this investigation, and
will greatly appreciate any infor-
nation that will lead to the origin
of such calls. When making an
emergency call to the fire house,
it will be necessary to give the
name of the person calling and the
phone number from which the call
is made. The call will then be in
vestigated to make sure an emer-
gency exists before the alarm is
sounded. 1t is with regret that an
investigation of this type has to be
made in Smyrna, Mr.. Jacobs con-
tinued, and it doesn't seem possible
that any citizen would perpetrate
such practice. Mr.. Jacobs furth-
er stated, that anyone found guilty
n this instance will be prosecuted
% the fullest extent of the law.

this afternoon to map strategy
for tomorrow's session.
With the foreign ministers Con
ference still in deadlock. there
was a growing belief by many OF
the Western power delegates that
Germany can be unified only by
the Germans themselves.
In the final session OF the now
three-week old conference. Mr..
Vlshinsky busted of his old pro-
posal that the powers get busy on
a German treaty and pull their
troops out OF Germany within a
year after it was signed. The
Western powers said talk Of treaty
at this time was futile in view
OF their inability to agree either
on unification of Germany or Of
Berlin.
Mr.. Acheson proposed instead
that they get on with discussion
Of the Austrian treaty and some
provisional arrangements for Ger
many. During the coming three
days. he said 1t would be possible
for deputies to examine whether
any hope Of agreement on q Ger
man treaty remained. He bluntly
stated he was not willing to re-
main beyond the end of the COM
ing week.
1t seemed to put q seal on the
prospect Of any real East-West
agreement at this meeting of the
Big Four.
Differences Widened Since ls4T.
East-West differences have wild
ened and hardened since the l947
Moscow conference.
These differences are now so
frozen that the belief is growing
that there will be no formal peace
treaty on Germany by the Big
-Four. A gradual return Of Ger
many to the family of nations Is
envisaged in a step by step process.
1t Is believed the Germans will
have to work out their problems
with their neighbors piecemeal as
the years 60 by since the Big Four
are unable to agree even on the
procedure for q peace treaty con-
ference, let alone the treaty itself
None of the diplomats concerned
will admit these conclusions ON
cialy. 1t is a diplomatic funda-
mental always to express belief
openly that difficulties can be
overcome by international agree
ment. However. these are the con-
clusions they have voiced privately.
The East and West have taken
steps which make 1t almost impos-
sible for them to change their
