Molotov Leads : Group
To Mark Anniversary
Of Russ-Ghina Pact
MOSCOW, Feb. 15 -VP)- First
Deputy Prime Minister V. M
Molotov headed a big group of
distinguished Soviet leaders pre
sent at reception given by the
Chinese embassy last night to
mark, the first anniversary of the
Soviet-Chinese treaty.
Molotov led a toast to the Chin
ese army and the Soviet army and
- to Mao Tze-Tung, head of the
central people's government of the
People's Republic or China, ana
Chu Teh, Mao's army commander
in chief. Soviet Foreign' Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky led a toast to
the "Korean people's . liberation
army" and all nations "following
in the historic path! which has
been pointed out by the U. 5. S. K.
Soviet press accounts said today.
Among those' present was the
Soviet defense minister, Marshal
N. A. Bulganin. Chinese Charge
'"fc-D Affaires Chen Yun-Chuan was
the host at the party, held at the
Hotel MetroDOle. Chen -said in
speech the Chinese people would
.-stand firm against American ex
pression." adding that he -consid
ered "the friendship of 700,000,000
people" a vital factor for peace.
: Moscow dispatches, plus a
strange factor in Peiping propa
ganda, indicate the possibility Mao
may be in the Soviet capital or on
his way there lor a major pow
wow.
' There were two important par
ties in Peiping to mark yesterday's
anniversary. One was sponsored
by the Red Chinese government,
the other by the Soviet embassy,
Peiping broadcasts listed party
leaders who were present. In nei
ther case was Mao listed. He does
not always attend such functions,
but an affair like the celebration
of the treaty signing would not be
the sort he would ordinarily miss.
He attended the celebration of
Indian National day in Peiping
Jan. 26 the last reference, in
cidentally, to his presence in Peip
ing. The treaty celebration parties
would far outrank the Indian one
In importance.
a One dispatch from Moscow told
of Soviet press reports of the two
Peiping anniversary parties. The
Soviet press pointed out to its
readers that Mao was not present
t either meeting.
With the U. S. S. R. play more
on the theme of American re
militarization of Japan and "Jap
anese imperialism," there would
be every reason to suspect that
Mao and the Moscow politburo
would get together for a council
of war.
The treaty the parties celebrated
singles out Japan, pledging the
Soviet Union to go to Red Chinas
aid in the event of an attack by
the Japanese or any nation "al
lied" with them. Moscow propa
ganda has been doing all in its
power to convince its hearers that
the U. S. and Japan are today.
In fact, military allies.
Waether the Soviet Union Is
prepared to tip the scales in favor
of World War III in the east now
is, of course, a matter for con
jecture. The betting is against it.
But at the same time, the very
menace of the situation as it stands
would be reason enough to. call
Mao to Moscow if just for or
ders. BOMBS BLAST TRIESTE

Store, Scene
Of Gun Battle,
Needs Repairs
-.WALLACE, Idaho, Feb.: 15-(P-The
Wallace Sapply ; store, center
of yesterday's wild i main street
gun battle that left two dead and
two wounded, was "closed for re
pairs" today.
As employees swept up broken
glass and removed bullet-riddled
rolls of lineolum, police worked
on a possible motive for the pre
dawn shooting spree of John Stod
dard, a 48-year-old transient re
membered by his former landlady
as "quite and sober, respectful 'and
respectable."
Police Chief Hugo Marconi sug
gested that Stoddard broke into
the hardware store In the early
morning darkness to steal a gun
and ammunition, accidentally dis
charged the rifle, became startled
and began firing into the street.
Gordon Hailstone, 33, a miner,
was hit and killed. Robert Allen,
a hotel manager, and Willis Malt
land, 49, another miner, were
wounded as they ran toward the
store.
After several hours of police
machine gun bullets and tear gas
bombs, officers went in and took
Stoddard, fatally wounded. He died
an hour later, a stranger in town.
The story came as a shock to
one of his friends, Mrs, H. E. Lina-
weaver, proprietor of a small
Oakland, Calif., hotel where Stod
dard had lived off l and i on for
years. j I
He had worked as a dish washer
In Oakland and Mrs. Linaweaver
recalled he was "dependable and
sober" and that often was left In
charge of the small waterfront
hotel when the Lina weavers were
away. I
Police records, however, showed
Stoddard had been around con
siderably, but without getting into
serious trouble. He had been ar
rested at various points as a vag
rant or transient.

'Murder in the Cathedral9 Holds
Salem First Nighter Audience
By Mary Louise Lee
The first night performance of T. S. Eliot's powerful, poetic dra
ma "Murder in the Cathedral" was presented to an audience with
varying degrees of reaction Thursday night.
The theme of 'Murder is the struggle between church and state,
and the theme takes precedence over the plot. As the Archbishop Tho
mas returns from a seven-year exile in France, he is beset by four
temDters who plead for him to f ol
low lines of Rule Over Men, Old
Friends, Loyal Englishman, and
Personal Desire. Personal Desire
wins out. as Thomas chooses the
way of martyrdom to "win a last
ing glory." . . m
Each actor kept in the mooa oi
the play; : each seemingly thor
oughly absorbed in getting his
particular lines across. Chorus
leaders, Shirley Clifford and Shir
ley Dean, showed exceptional abil
ity. The four laugbts lea Dy Jim
Hitrhman. were at ease and con
vincing; the entire theme carried
through by their unconventional
approach to the audience after the
murder of the archbishop. "We
want vou to know we were total
ly disinterested, nothing to gain
bv our act. says one. J.ne auai-
pnrp was convinced.
Dr. George Hocking, portraying
the Saint and Archbishop, some
times halting in speech, present
ing a different interpretation of
Thomas than might have been ex
rjected.
Special commenaauon snouia
bo to Margaret Conklin as the
tempter of Personal Desires. Her
performance showed much
thought, and was tne most cieariy
understood of all the parts.
The setting was simple and well
executed, and lighting, effected by
Bob Kaplan, provided unusual
groupings and shadows. White and
blue lights were used until the
murder scene, when red lights
dominated. The chorus, though
ever in the background, is always
sharply accentuated.
It will be presented again to
night in the Parnsh junior high
school auditorium.

SEATTLE, Feb. 15
crackdown against Pacific north

illegally and distributors who tell
grocers that processed food prices
are not controlled was promised
tonight by regional Price Stabiliz
er Henry B. Owen. j j ,
Owen said legal action would be
taken against offenders if "the
situation is not corrected.
His warning was tissued after
reports were received that some
distributors' Yepresentatives had
told grocers most food items were
exempt from controls because they
contained "parity food commodi
ties." Foods subject to price supports
which are below "parity" are not
under price- control, Owen ex
plained but only at the producers
leveL Processed foods all are in
cluded in price regulations.
He said : most reports of such
false information came from
southwest Washington, but there
had been other scattered com
plaints from other parts of the
northwest. :
Owen urged consumers to keep
Seattle, Portland and Boise price
stabilization offices informed of
all unauthorized price increases.

Begins Mutual
Defense Plans
? By Carter 1 Davidson ?
PARIS, Feb. 15-W-Free Eur
ope began the actual work of pool
ing its defenses against communist
aggression today, spurred by new
pledges that the United States is
rushing greater aid. I
. Five nations of western Europe
sat down here to try to muster
their armies into a single military
force. West Germany- was among
them and a German soldier sat on "
a high council in Paris for the first
time since the allies chased out
Hitler's divisions- six years ago.
The . others represented were
France, Italy, Belgium": and Lux
embourg. - !
A few minutes before the dele
gates started their meeting. Gen.
George C Marsha TT, U, S. secre
tary of defense, told: a senate
group In. Washington four new U.
S.-divisions are to be stationed la
Europe. -
And at about the same time, LL
Geiu Alfred M. Gruenther, chief
Of staff to Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower's. North Atlantic army, told
newsmen here that Eisenhower
wfH take over full command of an
international defense force in Eur
ope by the middle of next month.
Eisenhower is due here early next
week to organize his supreme,
headquarters. Allied Powers in
Europe (SHAPE). He was report
ed sailing from New York today. '
All this provoked a communist
demonstration, in which mora
than 500 persons including three
red leaders were arrested, and a
court action by the communists, f
: The red demonstrators, ordered
out by their leaders to protest
German - rearmament, I tried to
smash through police lines block
ing aU approaches to the huge
Place de L'Opera in the center of
Paris tonight. Police swung their
clubs and charged the rioters, es
timated at 200. Most of those ar
rested were later released, but
known communist agitators faced
stiff penalties. Except for scattered
incidents, police bad the situation
under control In two hours.
The court action was a legal
charge of treason filed by three
former cabinet ministers who are
communist sypathlzers, against
Premier Rene Pleven and Defense
Minister Jules Moch. The charge:
The : ministers ; have committed
treason In endangering the securi
ty of the state by. favoring the re
armament of Germany while
France .is stall technically at war
with Germany.. - . ?
Conviction . on . such : a charge
could carry the death penalty, but
