Red Premier of
Bulgaria Dies
Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 23 VP-
Premier Vassll P, Kolarov, one
of Bulgaria's elder communist
statesmen, died early today af
ter a long illness. He was 72.
Kolarov's death was announ
ced by radio Sofia. Three days
of national mourning was de
creed. It was believed Kolarov's
health had been affected by the
death in Moscow last July of his
lifelong friend and revolution
ary comrade, Premier Georgl
Dlmitrov. Kolarov succeeded
Dimitrov as head of Bulgaria's
communist - dominated govern
ment. (Speculation abroad about
Kolarov's successor centered on
Vulko Chervenkov, Bulgaria's
vice premier and communist
party secretary, who had been
mentioned for the premiership
after Dimitrov's death. He was
named vice-premier when Ko
larov became premier.)
The official press eulogized
Kolarov today. The government
and communist party organ,
Rabotnlchesko Delo, termed him
"a statesman with great exper
ience and knowledge In all
fields of life, with broad outlook
and wisdom."

but 57,500 still refused to work
The rebel pickets, some of
them admittedly hungry, gath
ered at the mine entrances to
day turning back mniers who
had voted to work. The pick
ets persuaded them that only a
full scale strike could break the
deadlocked contract dispute.
The wildcat walkouts were
the biggest protest against a
Lewis work order since May,
1946, when more than 85,000
Pennsylvania miners ignored
Lewis' call for a two-week truce
in the contract strike. However,
many of the striking miners said
they believed Lewis actually
wanted a complete shutdown
now, but did not call it because
it might result in Taft-Hartley
injunction proceedings against
him and the union.
Hardest hit was western Penn
sylvania, where 25,000 of the
districts 50,000 workers were
idle. An estimated 10,000 of
Ohio's 16,000 soft coal miners
refused to cross picket lines.
About 15,000 of West Virginia's
118.000 miners stayed out and
1,000 Kentucky miners failed to
report. Of Alabama's 20,000
miners, 6,500 were idle.
Biggest center of the rebel
lion against Lewis' three-day
week strategy was UMW dis
trict 4 surrounding Uniontown
Pa. Only two mines in the dis
trict worked.
Pope Speaks to
15 US Newsmen
Vatican City, Jan. 23 (U.I9
Pope Pius told 15 American
newspaper editors and publish
ers today that the press could
play a responsible part in the
"great return of the world to
God through Christ."
The pope received the execu
tives and two officials of the
European Cooperative Adminis
tration in private audience. He
spoke with them in English.
"This year," he said, "we fond
ly hope and pray, will mark a
great return of the world to
God through Christ. And this
return, if accomplished, is going
to be along the path of truth.
"Can you advance this noble
enterprise? Assuredly yes, be
cause truth needs a voice. And
the most potent voice reaching
the general public today is still
that of the press.
'Who does not know that a
journalist can deliberately falsi
fy facts, or by lifting them out
of their context can distort their
true mcanlng or can suppress
truth that in justice clamors to
be heard?
"And the net result is that the
masses are misled, human tra
gedy is incurred, and civil strife
and even wars are engendered,
simply because an unworthy
member of your profession for
one reason or another has been
recreant to his grave responsi
bilities to truth."

Weekly Editor Gets Jailed
For Calling Justice 'Bad Names'
Grand Ledge, Mich., Jan. 23
tor who feuded editorially with a justice of the peace was Jailed
Saturday for contempt of court.
But Editor Frank C. Weinert didn't figure on staying long "al
though there are some nice people in this jail." Habeas corpus
papers were en route before tne-
jail doors swung on mm at
Charlotte, Mich.
The 40-year-old newspaper
man was sented to 10 days by
Justice Charles F. Young, who
said Weinert had printed "scur
rilous editorials about me and
used insulting language in
court." He also fined him $25.
This was the second time
Weinert was sentenced by
Young, who holds court in his
antique shop in this town of
4000.
On January 13, Weinert and
the town's police chief, William
Carter, were held in contempt
and given 10 days In jail and
$50 fines.
But Young, who never studied
law, made a mistake in the sen
tence. The law allows only a
$25 fine, so the pair didn't go
to jail.
Saturday the 70-year-old jus
tice had Weinert hauled into
court on a criminal warrant for
contempt. A constable arrested
him at the office of the Grand
Ledge Reminder, a weekly tab
loid. The judge took no new action
against Carter. If he had, the
Grand Ledge police force would
have been cut In half.
Young accused Carter of "call
ing me bad names." But Wein
ert and Carter had their own
versions for their arrest.
"He's sore because we raided
the place where he played cards
and we won't give him any of
our business on traffic arrests,
carter said.
Weinert had written edi
torials criticizing Young's "grab
bag justice," administered among
dusty dishes and antique furni
hire.

Opened Vaults
With Pen Knives
Boston, Jan. 23 CP) Detec
tives Investigating a $1,500,000
raid on Brink's Armored Vaults
expressed the belief today that
the bandits used nail files or
penknives to open six doors to
the cashier's cage.
They switched their theory
that the gunmen used a pass key
or master key after Special Of
ficer Arthur Ahem opened a
half a dozen locks with a fin
gernail file and penknife.
The demonstration was given
last night on new locks installed
at the company's raided garage
vaults. Ahem said, however,
that the old locks could have
been opened just as easily.
Ahem tried his experiment
after noticing scratches on a
door leading into the building
'The test of locks became a
farce after a while," Ahem
said. "We were all able to open
them all six doors."
Detective said they opened
door after door by simply in
serting a nail file or blade of
penknife through the crack
between the door and the frame
and sliding the tongue of the
lock.
Police Commissioner Thomas
F. Sullivan and Police Superin
tended Edward W. Fallon wit
nessed the demonstration.
When Ahem opened the last
door barring the way to the
firm's vaults, Sullivan describ
ed the security as "outrageous."
Fallon said he was "amazed.1
He repeated his critisim of what
he termed Brink's "laxity" and
added that the place was ab
solutely unprotected."

dairyman of the Deedsvllle dis
trict and president of the Ore
gon Dairy Breeders association
as he addressed the Salem Cham
ber of Commerce Monday noon
concerning the problems of his
industry.
Hagg said he was against the
Brennan plan or "something for
nothing plan" as he said some
persons termed it. "I object to the
government spending billions to
debauch its people," Hagg stated,
dding that he felt sure agri
culture would go along with any
plan that would bring back the
spirit and enterprise of the pi
oneer. ,
Placing In front of him t

carton of butler and another
of cheese, Hagg said the pound
of butter represented a day's
work for a single cow. Then
placing a pound of oleomar
garine nearby the speaker
charged that there was but nine
cents worth of oil in the pack
age of oleo. The entire process
of manufacture is mechanized,
he charged. Hagg declared a
calf fed on a diet of emulsified
oleo would sicken and die. Fed
a smiliar amount of butter it
would thrive.
I am afraid we are sitting In
ringside seats watching the col
lapse of a large industry," was
Hagg's warning as he admitted
that the dairymen probably had
been too prone to bring their
problems to the attention of the
general public.

Jakarta (Batavia), U. S. I.
Monday, Jan. 23 VP) Indonc
sian rebel guerrillas, led by a
former Dutch captain, today
attacked the West Java capital,
Bandoeng, and seized key points

Swank Musicians' Union Office
Beats Those of the Bosses'
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood. Jan. 23 W.R) The big noises of the musicians'
union opened for business today
country's fanciest office building.
The building has pink pillars,
and executives' desks built to suit
There isn't a union in the
country that has offices like
this," Kelly Shugart, a union
representative, said. "In fact,
this is a better looking building
than the bosses have."
The union unveiled its $500,-
000 headquarters with a party
for 15,000 guests, a 12-hour con
tinuous television broadcast, a
transcontinental radio show
featuring Bob Hope, Bing Cros
by and Lionel Barrymore, and a
platform across Vine street to
accommodate the fans.
We've been saving up for
this," Shugart said proudly, "for
55 years. We started over a ci
gar store. Now we are up to the
caliber of management."
As a result, the union hopes
it may be able to talk more
money out of them.
It makes them feel better
coming to a fine place like this
to negotiate," Shugart explain
ed. "We felt embarrassed and at
a disadvantage before."
The saffron yellow building,
backed up to a movie studio in
the heart of Hollywood, has a
pink-pillared lobby, a tropical
patio, and a plush 700-seat audi
torium on the main floor.
Sound-proof rehearsal halls and
rumpus room, also sound
proof, are in the basement.
On the second floor are the
wood-panelled offices, including
one with a circular desk for
President J. K. (Spike) Wallace,
71, who was one of the original
Paul Whiteman men.
"Petrillo's office doesn't equal
this," Shugart noted
'The desks were designed
with the personality of the de
partment in mind. For instance,
the president's completely sur
rounds him."
The Los Angeles local, second
only to New York's In size, has
14,500 members. The money for
the building was saved from
dues of $1 a month and $50 in
itiation fee.
The national union head
James Petrillo, was invited to
the opening but didn't come.
"Hes a great negotiator,"
Shugart explained, "but h e
doesn't particularly take an in
terest."
Flood Centers
On Lower River
(By the Associated Press)
The major midwest flood
threat had centered today along
the lower Mississippi river where
It already had driven an estimat
ed 3,500 lowland dwellers from
their homes.
The stream was running bank-
full and slowly rising but U.S.
army engineers said they expect
ed the crest to roll safely on
providing the area escapes any
heavy rains.
At Cairo, 111., where the Ohio
river empties into the Missis
sippi, the city counted itself vir
tually out of flood danger. Al
though still 15 feet above tech
nical flood stage, the stream
had dropped about a foot since
Friday, easing pressure on the
levees.
The flooding was mostly in
three counties of upper west
Tennessee, described as low
lands which are overflowed
nearly every year.
Weather in the area today
brought some measure of com
fort to those threatened by i
further rise as the crest swept
downstream. Temperatures were
mud over all the southern two-
thirds of the nation and the only
precipitation was a harmless
light drizzle at some points.
A narrow band of subnormal
cold lay across the northern edge
of the country. In parts of the
Dakotas and Minnesota the mer
cury was well below zero. Pem
bina, N.D., was the coldest spot
with a -16.
Snow continued falling today
in northern Montana, the Da
kotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. It was light, how
ever, except along Lake Su
perior and in upper Michigan.
More rain fell along the Pa
cific coast from northern Cali

Sidetrack FEPC
For Alaska Bill
Washington, Jan. 23 (U.R)
Speaker Sam Rayburn announc
ed that the house will take up
the Alaskan statehood bill today
and not the politically hot FEPC
bill.
Rayburn told newsmen he
thought it would be better for
the house to consider another
bill ahead of FEPC because
FEPC was a major factor in
last week's heated but unsuc
cessful effort to change house
rules.
The FEPC bill is the keystone
of President Truman's civil
rights program which Is distaste
ful to southern democrats, In
cluding Rayburn who Is a Texan.
Rayburn, as speaker, could
have recognized Chairman John
Leslnskl, (D., Mich.), of the
house labor committee who
wanted to bring up the FEPC
bill. But he decided instead
that he would recognize Chair
man J. Hardin Peterson,
Fla.), of the public lands com
mittee to present the Alaskan
statehood bill.
This maneuver sidetracked
house consideration of the con
troversial FEPC bill until at
least Feb. 13, but more likely
until an even later date.
Commission
Sent Denfeld
Washington, Jan. 23 Wl-
-Sec-
retary of the Navy Matthews said
today that a White House aide.
without his knowledge, delivered
to Adm. Louis s. Denfeld a com
mission for a second term
chief of naval operations last
Sept. 14.
He contends that this did not
constitute an "official issuance'1
of the commission to Denfeld,
and has no legal significance.
Matthews made this argument
in a letter to Chairman Tydlngs
(D., Md.) of the senate armed
services committee, dated Jan
23. Tydlngs placed the letter be
fore the senate.
It marked another round in
the row that has been going on
over whether Denfeld was legal
ly ousted as chief of naval op
erations last Nov. 1, and wheth
er Adm. Forrest P. Sherman was
legally appointed to succceed
him.
Matthews had testified to the
armed services some two weeks
ago that Denfeld was not fired
that he was merely passed by for
reappointment.
Later, Senator McCarthy (R
Wis.) displayed In the senate
what he described as a photo
graphic copy of Denfeld's com
mission, signed by Matthews and
President Truman, and good un
