BERLIN, Feb. 8.-People here
who make a business of judging
the temper of East zone Ger
mans are rapidly revising earlier
predictions that there will be
no major outbreaks of violence
in the wake of the Big -Four
conference.
Reports pouring in from all
over the East zone indicate the
mood of the people is more
explosive today than before the
riots last June II. Hundreds
of visitors to the East sector
farm fair pass along the same
word: les gehrt'-the pot is
boiling.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molo-
tov has issued a statement which
is, in effect, a grim warning to
the people under Russian DOM
ination. The June II riots, he
said. were the result of mis-
chievous hands stretched across
sector boundaries. No repetition
of these incidents, he twice re-
peated, could possibly happen.
Mr.. Molotov may be right.
Red retaliation for the spring
riots has been thorough. Thou
sands of people who led demon
STATIONS in Berlin and other
large East German cities have
been arrested. New security
forces have been stationed at
important plants.
(Red police have arrested
some 500 Germans in scat
tered industrial areas in recent
days. the Associated Press re-
ported, specializing this may
have nipped in the bud any
potential uprising)
Result Might Be Massacre.
If new outbreaks occur, the
result. in the opinion of experts
here, would be a massacre. And
yet. the volume of reports grows
hourly. A worker from a big

in Soviet territory, reports a
whispering campaign in favor
of free elections is running
strong through the plant. despite
efforts of Red security police
to stamp it out. The plant was
a center of violence last June.
On February 3 at the Silbitz
steel works near Gera. a hassle
broke out between Communist
officials and workers. One brash
man went SO far as To charge
openly that the Reds were
afraid of free elections. He went
on to say that what the people
failed to accomplish last June,
they would accomplish in the
future. The worker was led
from the plant in handouts.

The two-week-old conference,
back in the Allied Control Au-
thority Building in West Berlin

bassy in the East. got under
way this afternoon around a
much smaller table than has
been usual here. Each of the
four powers was limited to four
persons in the room, though ex-
perts on a variety of subjects
were standing by for consulta-
ton if needed.

freshments.
Mr.. Bidault acted as chairman
today.
The ministers also were due to
discuss how and when to take
up the question of an independ-
ence treaty for Austria.
Three-POint Program.
The three Western ministers
were reported determined to
confront Mr.. Molotov with a
three-point program:
/. They will meet with Red
China only for discussion of
such Asian issues as Korea and
Indo-C China, and only if the
Peiping regime demonstrates
good faith by cooperating first
in a Korean settlement or else
stops arming the Communicated
Wet Mini rebels in Indo- China.

MANN EACELLENI BInS
FOR FIRST PRIZE IN

Well, she has done it
, again! Mrs. Elsie F. CAVITY
has won the Tribune Sub
scription Contest for the Bird
consecutive time. We are
happy for her, and of course,
wish that each of the con-
testantsi might have won,
but, as you know, there could
only be one first prize.
Mrs. CAVITY jumped from
18th place with 1880 votes,
to LIST place with 47,975.
Mrs. Anne Spragins, who
was in 3rd place at the last
reporting, with 1900 votes,
moved into End place with
$4,000. Mrs. Fl a m m O n d
Jones, who has ranked LIST
for the entire contest with
17,100 votes was eased into
Bird place with 32,575 votes.
The man in the contest, Rev.
William t. "Tank" Frazier,
who reported 12,200 votes
last time, fell into 4th place
for the finals with 19,O50
votes.
Someone had to be first. |
and someone had to be last; |
but you can believe us when
we say that we have never
had a contest in which the
participants were more ener-
getic or more determined to
win. Mrs. CAVITY deserves
all the laurels which we can
heap upon her. She is a
conscientious worker, as well I
as an ardent supporter of
the Tribune. Mrs. Spragins,
the runner-up, has held that 1
place for two straight years.
She, too, did an exceedingly l
e ne job. AS previously
stated, each contestant did
an excellent job, but espec-
ally do we feel that Mrs.

I COLUMBIA. S. c., Sept. a.
The South Carolina Democratic
Executive Committee must nomi-

party officials.
The committee will meet here

selecting a successor to Senator

State Chairman Neville Ben

morrow's committee meeting so
soon after Senator Maybank's

requires immediate action. Elec-
ton laws require that nomina-

tomorrow is the last day OF the

Appointment Limited.
Gov. James F. Byrnes has only
authority to I'LL by appointment
the vacancy from now until
January 2, when Senator May

Senator Maybank was the party
nominee for another six-year
term as he was unopposed in
this years primary.
Mr.. Callison said that the
name of a dead candidate cam
not be certified to election ofii-
Gals.
This leaves the party in the
position, If it wants to select
a nominee by primary, of having
to name a candidate tomorrow
at a committee meeting, then
having him withdraw later in
favor of a primary-selected
candidate.
