l was in an outer room while the
count was being made. Suddenly,
there was a commotion inside, the
door was thrown open, and out
marched the government men. You
should have seen the black looks on
their faces as they walked out of the
building. Behind them, between two
members of the secret police, came
that wretched little district secre-
tary, and someone whispered that
he was being sent off to an educa-
tional labor camp for attempting to
ridicule the peace efforts of the
Motherland of Socialism,
But - but what had he done?"
Josef demanded.
S'WHY." began Koudelka, and
then broke off again as laughter
doubled him up, why ,asimply this:
when the secretary announced the
total, he had four times as many
signatures as there are inhabfssacts
of the entire Smichov district, in
cluding the newly born babiesT
Then Josef laughed, and they
were both laughing till they had to
go inside Josef's apartment so they
would not attract attention to their
mirth under the gray sky of Prague.

whispered to the man at the end OF
the line.
"Why, the Stockholm Peace
Appeal" the man said in surprise.
1.-The Red Trade Unions promised
to fulfill a quota of 100000 sigma
lures from Prague workers. You
have to sign, Comrade."
But =" Josef began, then he
stopped - and silently took his
place in the line. Now he was really
worried, and he could feel the tight
ness in his chest again.
He glanced nervously toward the
door where the Union official was
placing a blue check mark beside
each mans name on the employees
list as he signed. If Josef tried to
explain that he had already signed
the appeal. the Union leader would
undoubtedly be as suspicious as
Comrade Fora had been. In any
case, there would be no blue check
mark beside Josef's name, and that
would certainly require future ex-
planation. 1t might even start an
investigation which would turn up
the damaging fact that Josef had
already signed the appeal twiee.
Why, he might even be accused of
sabotaging the official figures.

would have it, they suddenly Sc

minds to collecting signatures.
"And these big party men - they

Josef asked.

parison showing a 1928 decrease in
robbery cases in 1949 was justified.
The FBI report did not include
the number of cases cleared by
arrests or other means, but these
figures were supplied by Wash
ington police for solved crimes in
1949:
Homicides, "A cleared; robberies,

The annual report also showed
that:
The average holdup, as reported
by 346 cities, involved property

valued at $116.
Slightly over SO per cent of the
stolen automobiles were recovered
AS a rule, the new and relatively
expensive automobiles were recov'

the older, less costly models.
During 1949 the FBI received

Russian Troops Reported
On Guard in China

TAIPEI, Formosa, Mar. 20 (H).-
The China News Service said to-
day Russian troops are guard
ing vital rail towns between Nam
king and Shanghai in Communist
China.
There was no confirmation. The
story was attributed to a traveller
1t said 1000 Soviet troops ar
rived in Nanking February 20 and
were dispatched to key rail towns
If the report is true, the troops
presumably are anti-aircraft units
The rail link between China S
largest city and Nanking is a
key target of Nationalist war
planes.
Nationalist warships stopped a
Communist attempt to land small
reinforcements on. the big island
of Hainan, other dispatches said.
The Nationalists said one troop
laden junk was sunk and nine
were routed after an hour long
battle Friday night.
Meanwhile, Nationalist planes
pounded coastal installations at

He then proceeded up a ladder
to the promenade deck and to
cabin 102 on the port side, where
Mrs. Gubitchev hugged and kissed
him.
The cabin was locked with
guards inside and outside when
the Batory sailed. Border patrol
officers remained aboard until the
liner reached Ambrose lightship
off New York harbor.
The Batory's first port of call
is Gdynia. Poland.
After stops in Western Europe,
the Batory will sail behind the
Iron Curtain March 81. when it
enters Gdynia harbor.

Accepted Government Deal.
The 3a-year-old Russian ac-
cepted Government offer to
suspend the prison sentence on
condition he drop his appeal and
return to Russia. The deal was
a move to forestall possible re-
prisals against Americans behind
the Iron Curtain.
Miss Coplon is free on $4,000
bail pending outcome of appeal
of her conviction and prison SEN
tence. She is under an additional
$4,000 bail pending appeal of her
conviction in Washington. where
she was tried alone last year. In
that case she drew a sentence of
40 months to 10 years in prison
for stealing Government secrets

Two u. 5. Destroyers
Leave After Rioting
On Saigon Visit
By the Associoted Press

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Indo-China
Mar. 20 Two United States
destroyers-the target of Com
munist-led riots that killed three
persons and wounded at least 80
others-left here on schedule to-
day.
Yesterday 5000 students and
1000 Workmen. waving the gold
starred flag of MoScow-trained
Ho Chi Minis rebels, began a
march toward the harbor to pro-
test American backing of the
nch-supported Wet Nam gov
ernment.
Is Buses and Trucks Fired.
Rioting flared for four hours
and before French police dispersed
the shouting mob it had burned
part of the block-square central
market, set the torch to Is buses
and trucks and ripped down
French and American banners
raised in honor of the destroyers'
visit.
The destroyers Stickwell and
Anderson had been sent here as
a gesture of American support for
the French-sponsored government
OF former Emperor Bao Dai. But
cries of Down with American
aid" Down with Bao Dai" and
Long live Ho Chi Mini" were
heard from the rioters.
There were repercussions today
from yesterdays violence, al
though Saigon appeared quiet.
Students Go on Strike.
Students of public and private
schools decided to 60 on strike in
protest against the deaths of two
of their comrades in the rioting.
The third victim was a policeman.
Newspapers refused to publish
in Saigon because Wet Nam au-
thorities had issued an order that
they print only official statements
on the rioting. The authorities
hit back by suspending the news
papers for two weeks.
Police arrested a leading Wet
Namese attorney and a French
member of a "Marxist cultural
group" on charges of leading yes
terday's demonstration.

Chinese Wall May Go

China's Great Wall, one of the
outstanding wonders of the an
cient and modern world, appar-
emily is one of the things the
Chinese Communists figure can be
put to better use.
An indistinct broadcast from
the Communist China News
Agency in Peiping, heard by the
Associated Press in San Fran
cisco, mentioned the wall in con-
nection with building work and
said first loads have begun to
arrive in Peiping and Tientsin."
Evidently the Reds are using the
stones and bricks of the wall for
their ambitious city construction
program.
The wall, started in 214 BIC, is
more than 1900 miles long. 1t is
as much as so feet high in places
and wide enough for a road on

None catholic Clergymen
Swear Czech Allegiance

Heads of all non-Roman Catho-
lie churches in Czechoslovakla
swore allegiance today to the
Communicated regime, the Off
cial news agency said in Prague.
The clergymen, who took the
oath before Premier Antonin
Zapotcky, corresponded in rank
to Roman Catholic archbishops
and diocesan bishops.
The move raised the possibility
the government might soon call
on Catholic prelates to take their
oath, too. This could precipitate
the final showdown between the
Catholic Church and the govern
ment.
The news agency said that
among the clerics who appeared
before the premier to take the
oath we're heads of the Czech,
Russian Orthodox, Methodist, Uni
tartan and Baptist Churches.
Meanwhile, a group of accused
"terrorists' charged with spying
for the United States, France and
the Vatican, went on trial before
a Moravian state court. The state
charged the group had been car
rying on terrorist activities since
1948," the year the Communists
came to power here.-AP.
