Confidence Vote
Paris, March 6 W) A communist-led
strike on Paris bus
and subway lines today confus
ed but failed to stop the gay
city's normal life.
In the national assembly,
meanwhile, the government this
morning shut off a 72-hour-old
Red filibuster aimed at killing
the anti-sabotage bill.
The strikers were demanding
cost of living bonus. The fill-
busters had sought to further
communist campaign against
shipments of Atlantic pact arms
and of military aid to French
troops in Indochina.
Downtown streets were clog
ged with unusually heavy auto
and bicycle traffic. The French
army's military police turned out
to help keep the traffic untan
gled. With most Paris stores closed
normally on Monday, the strike
effect on business was minimiz
ed. Government ministries man
aged to get most of their em
ployes to work by special trucks
and buses manned by volunteers,
At least five bus lines and two
subway lines were operating on
irregular schedules. Taxicabs
were available.
Paris and it suburbs have 130
bus lines and 14 subway lines,
The only incident reported was
a minor clash between strikers
and strike opponents. Police
promptly broke it up.
In the national assembly Pre
mier Georges Bidault ended the
communist filibuster by demand
ing a motion of confidence on the
anti-sabotage bill. Since Friday
afternoon communist deputies
alternately had been talking
their heads off and tangling in
fist fights with colleagues.
The premier s action closed the
marathon session of the assem
bly which will vote on the con
fidence question at midnight (6
p.m. EST) Tuesday.
Allies Reject
Refugee Flood
Goettingen, Germany, March 6
VP) The western allies kept a
trainload of 108 Germans ex
pelled from Communist Polish
territory out of western Germ
any today.
The allied high commission
has said it has information that
Poland intends to dump 250,000
expellees in western Germany.
The previous estimate was 125,-
000 but today officials doubled
it.
The western allies have vowed
to prevent the forced exodus, ex
cept for 25,000 expellees who
have west German relatives who
can help care for them.
West German officials have
informed the western allies they
will be unable to cope with the
expected flood of refugees.
The allied authorities believe
Communist Poland has two-fold
objective: To complicate the
west German economy, already
burdened with 9,000,000 refug
ees and expellees and 2,000,000
unemployed; to cut the ground
from any future German claims
on territory east of the Oder
Ncisse line based on the argu
ment that the population is large
ly German.

Final Stage of
Coplon Trial
New York, March 6 VP) The
defense pictured Valentin A.
Gubitchev today, in a final ap
peal for his acquittal on spy
conspiracy charges, as a love
inflamed married man on an
illicit adventure with an un
married girl."
Abraham L. Pomerantz made
the plea for the Russian engineer
after lawyers for the girl, petite
Judith Coplon, announced they
would let the case go to the jury
without summing up.
The six men and six women
jurors may start deliberations
late today after final arguments
by government lawyers and the
charge by Federal Judge Sylves
ter J. Ryan.
Pomerantz scornfully describ
ed the government's evidence
gainst Gutitchev as "tripe" and
begged the jurors not to be
swayed by any cold war hysteria
or dislike for the Russians.
He said his client and Miss
Coplon met secretly in New York
because they were in love and
not, as the government charges,
because they were plotting to
steal defense secrets for the Rus
sians. The Coplon-Gubitchev case
branded by Moscow as a frame
up, described by the U. S. gov
ernment, as daring, cold-blooded
spying entered its final
stages a year and two days af
ter the defendants' arrest.

Plan Approved
Washington, March 6 UP)
Senator Magnuson (D., Wash.)
reported today that the senate
interior committee had approved
authorization of the ?2 000,000,
000 comprehensive Columbia
basin development plan.
The committee also recom
mended the inclusion of the ba
sin plan in the omnibus rivers
and harbors bill, which is due
for senate consideration soon.
Magnuson said the committee
vote for inclusion with the om
nibus bill was eight to four.
The action came after the
committee failed to reach agree
ment on the Columbia river de
velopment , program during a
two-hour morning session,
Chairman O'Mahoney (D.,
Wyo.) told reporters the com
mittee is considering a motion
by Senator Cordon (R., Ore.) to

gram proposed by the president,
plus the $192,000,000 Mountain
Home, Idaho, project, and to
utilize revenues from a power
project at Hells Canyon, Idaho,
to help pay construction costs.
A substitute motion by Sena
tor Anderson (D N M.) would
limit the Mountain Home project
to power .features but establish
a basin-wide account for all rev
enues, with construction repay
ments to be made from that
fund.
