Libians to Fiahf
Return to Italy
Tripoli, May 31 (IP) The one-
eyed Mufti of Libia says he
would lead his more than 700,
000 Moslem followers in a. fight
to death if the United Nations
re-impose Italian rule over Tri
politania. 'It would not be another Pal
estine," the 70-year-old sheik
Mohammed Bulas Ad El Alem
said in an interview. "We would
never leave the battlefield
alive."
Rioting broke out here recent
ly while the UN assembly in
New York was deliberating over
a British-Italian plan to cut
Italy in on a split-up of the
African empire Mussolini lost in
war.
The assembly finally put over
(he question until its fall session
and the former colonies remain
under British military adminis
tration. The Libian Mufti said the Tri
poliUnian Moslems have cached
arms they got during the war
both from Montgomery's famous
British 8th army and Rommel's
defeated Afrika korps.

West Refuses
(Continued from Page 1
Before today's meeting the
three western ministers held an
unscheduled meeting to consid
er how to meet Russia's rejec
tion of their plans for a politi
cal union of east and west Ger
many. Presumably they wanted
to decide well in advance what
to do if the four-power talks
collapse.
The western ministers remain
ed in session until shortly after
noon. Later an American source
said the three delegations de
voted much of the talk to the
Berlin currency issue. He said
they agreed they should avoid
technical aspects of the curren
cy problem and should concen
irate instead on broad princi
ples.
Berlin Situation
Berlin, May 31 P) East Ger
man communists threw a cloak
of mystery today about their
timetable for eastern Germany.
"There is no necessity to
establish an east German state,"
Prof. Hermann Kastner, head of
the newly chosen people's coun
cil, told a reporter. "Even if
there were such an idea it would
certainly not be discussed now,
while the foreign ministers are
meeting in Paris and trying to
reach an agreement on the unifi
cation of Germany."
The commuirt-led people's
congress yesterday adopted a
Soviet-type constitution claim
ing to speak for all this country.
They chose 400 members of a
people's council to serve as a
government, including in the
list Gerhart Eisler, communist
fugitive from America who has
n't been here since nazi days.
Kastner was named co-president
of the council.
Kastner, who heads a splinter
party of liberal democrats, de
scribed the east German consti
tution as "only a draft." The
constitution has been viewed as
Russia's answer to the west Ger
man constitution ratified by the
states of the three western occu
pat ion zones.
"It is not a constitution which
will become formally effective,"
Kastner added. "It is a prod
uct of an ideological and poli
tical trends in the Soviet zone
and is what we think the new
democratic Germany should
look like. It is our contribution
to the unification of Germany
and not intended for any one
part."
Westerners had expected Rus
sia would race the allies in set
ting up a rival republic in the
east when it became apparent
that four-power control of all
Germany could not be revived.
West Germany is expected to
have a functioning government
by mid-July. The proposal of
the west that the western con
stitution be extended to alt Ger
many has been rejected by the
Russians in Paris, but the Rus
sians have not yet introduced
their eastern German constitu
tion. Complain Russians
Insulted Yugoslavs
Belgrade. Yugoslavia, May 31
P) The official communist par
ty newspaper, Borba, complain
ed bitterly today that the Rus
sians Insulted Yugoslavia, her
national anthem and her pre
mier, Marshal Tito.
The newspaper said soviet
reperesentati ves at memorial
services for a Red army soldier
at Laare vo failed to salute
when the Yugoslav anthem was
played and sat down when the
audience chanted praise of Tito,
who has been denounced by the
communist parties outside Yu
goslavia. Borha said this was a prac
tice the Russians did not em-
countriei.

City '49 Budget
Up Only $89,296
The Salem city budget foriftt Willamette Unlvernity Law
949-1950 will actually exceed school. Subject. "Composition and
the budget of the current year
only about $fl9,29B, J. L.
Franzen, city manager, said1
Tuesday.
Franzen explained that an act
of the recent legislature permits
cities to borrow on short term
loans from banks, on the same
basis as school districts are per
mitted to borrow, funds to bridge
over the gap between time of
spending and time of collecting
tax money or street improve
ment assessments, or money
from any other source of collec
tion.
Under this act of the legisla
ture it is required that the street
improvement estimate be shown
in the city budget, although it is
not actually a Dart of the budcet

property. For the coming year
this is estimated at $198,000.
which, with a normal increase of
some $89,296 gives the total bud
get the appearance of exceeding
the old bddgct bv more than
S2R0.000.
The estimated new budget to
tals $1,658,355.29, and the bud
get of the present year was
$1,370,059.35.
Of the normal increase $77,000
is accounted for by the 3-mill
tax levy voted by the people to
reduce working hours and add
to personnel of the fire depart
ment. Missing Convicts
'Continued from Pape n
Meanwhile, Penitentiary War
den George Alexander is con
ducting an investigation to find
how saw blades and wrenches
were smuggled into the con
victs in their detention unit
cells.
Pinson and Benson had been
placed In the "bull pen" as pun
ishment for previous escape at
tempts, and were not allowed to
mingle with other prisoners or
work in the prison shops.
Alexander believes the tools
used in the escape came from
one of the prison shops. He sus
pects that a guard or inmate
smuggled them in to the deten
lion unit.
Question Asked
Alexander also is pondering
over the question. "Whv did
of'pinson and Benson escape to
gether?"
The warden states that the
apparently did not know each
other before enterihg prison
and did not associate closely
with each other during their
stay at prison.
' Pinson is a quiet guy. never
talked to anybody very much,
Alexander said this morning.
It is obvious that Pinson
aided his escape-partner in
making the break. Two bars
were sawed off of Pinson's cell
and the lock of Benson's cell
was opened from the outside
with a wrench.
This would indicate that Pin
son freed himself from his cell
first, then took time to pry the
lock on Benson's cell, instead of
making a run for it himself.
The two made their way up
from the prison basement, across
the yard, and climbed the south
wall, wilh the aid of a plank,
unnoticed. They were first spot
ted as they went over the top
of the wall. A guard fired five
shots at them, but is not certain
if he hit one of them or not.
The two criminals were flee-
ing across the outer prison yard,
heading toward town, when the
guard lost sight of them. No
one has caught even a glimpse
of them since.
To Hold Conference Mem
bers of the county court went to
