Bulgarians
Want Greek
Territory
PARIS, Aug. 14 Bulgaria
formally presented claim to
the Paris peace conference today
for the present Greek territory
of western Thrace and was sup
ported by the Soviet Ukraine
delegate.
Frankly admitting a "shameful
alliance" with Germany during
the war, Bulgarian Foreign Min
ister Georgi Koulishev never
theless maintained that the Bul
garian army "did not fight on
any front against the anti-Hitler-ian
coalition." He asked that his
nation be accorded the status of
an allied co-belligerent, the same
as that sought yesterday by Ro
mania, another defeated German
satellite.
Western Thrace is a narrow
strip of territory along the nor
thern coast of the Aegean sea
which gives Greece a common j
frontier with Turkey.

Ukraine delegation, charged that
Greek policy was "instigated
from abroad" and protested
against her "demands for foreign
Balkan soil." Saying he sup
ported Bulgarian demands for an
Aegean outlet, Manuilsky said he
favored a return to the Bulgarian
frontier as provided in the treaty
of Bucharest of 1913. This would
give Bulgaria western Thrace
and the present Greek harbor of
Alexandroupolis.
Winccnty Riymowsky, chief
Polish delegate, also declared
Bulgaria "deserves an indulgent
peace."

chief delegate, Premier Conslati
tin Tsaldaris, accused Bulgaria
of international crimes and de
clared the draft treaty for the
country which was allied to Ger
many in the last two wars was
"too light for a country which
associated itself with the German
aggressor."
Pope Deplores
Terror Reign
VATICAN CITY. Aug. 14 (P)
Pope Pius deplored terrorism in
Palestine in an address to an
Arab delegation delivered Au
gust 3 and made public today in
the Vatican newspaper 1'Osser
vatore Romano.
"We condemn all recourse to
force and violence, wherever it
comes from, even as we con
demned repeatedly in the past
the persecutions which a fa
natical anti-Semitism unleashed
against the Hebrew people," the
pope said.
The five-man delegation had
been sent to present the Arab
case before the Vatican and had
told the pope that the Jews were
importing "fighting men' into
Palestine, its spokesman told a
news conference after the papal
audience.
The pope said that a peace in
Palestine founded on "truth and
justice" presupposed that "the
rights of others, or certain ac
quired positions and tradition,
especially in the religious field,
would be respected.

New Battles
Flame Over
North China
NANKING. Aug. 14 l.-l'l
New reports of large scale fight
ing in north China today wrote
a flaming reply to Chiang Kai-
shek's six-point program to re
store peace to his nation as a
communist spokesman charged,
"the government wants war."
The communists' Yenan radio
said that red troops had wiped
out two government divisions
north of the key city of Jukao
in a resumption of heavy fight
ing in north Kiangsu province.
It also said 5000 government
troops had laid down their arms
after seeing 3000 comrades
killed or wounded.
Yenan said fierce fighting
was raging on both sides of the
Lunghai railway in east Honan
and north Kiangsu provinces.
It added that government troops
were receiving considerable air
support.
Tatung Manaced
In Peiping. the independent
newspaper Hsin Min Pao re
ported communist troops attack
ing Tatung had pierced govern
ment defenses within seven
tenths of a mile east of that
north Shansi province rail junc
tion. It said red forces were
within two miles of Tatung on
the north, west and south and
fixed the combatants' strength
as 10 communist regiments
against 10,000 government de
fenders.
Meantime, the government's
central news agency quoted
Brig. Gen. William E. Clement,
commander of U. S. marines at
Tsingtao, as saying only one
battalion or regiment would be
left as reserves were returned
to the United States.
Wane Ping-nam, communist
spokesman replying to Chiang's
peace program, cnargeo. ine
government wants war. We find
the government neither wants
peace nor has any faitliful de-
irp for it."
His statement made it clear
that Chiang's declaration did
nothing to clear the disputes be
tween the communists and
Kuomintang (government party)-

City Council Orders
Vote On Manager

worth, no salary being set In
the resolution.
Year's Indoctrination
For the first year. In the
opinion of council members,
until the new manager gets
fully acquainted wth the city's
affairs, he would probably be
just another city employe, but
in the long run he would be
worth many times his salary in
savings to the city accruing
from efficient administration.
The maimger position would
be appointive and the manager
would not go out of office be
cause of a change in adminis
tration. His Job would be to
provide continuing administra
tion and advice when a new
mayor or a new council is com
ing in to learn their Jobs.
The reason July 1. 1047, is
established in the resolution as
the earliest time the city can
hire a manager, if the charter
amendment is passed by the
people, is that no money has
been budgeted this year for
such an office and it will be the
start of the next fiscal year bo
fore money can be set aside for
that purpose.
The manager will be a full
time employe of the city and
have an office in the city hall.

Flay Rumors
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14 lP
Two members of the powerful
new decontrol board today pro
tested sharply when a witness
srmkp of "Washington reports"
that the board favors re-establish
ment of price controls.
Thomas Lindcr, Georgia com
missioner of agriculture, called
attention at decontrol hearings
to reports that the board is "sur
rounded by former OPA offic
ials" and that "arrangements"
have been made as to what the
board will decide.
Under, who testified against
applying price ceilings to cotton
seed, said these rumor are that
the board will "carry out the
president's wishes."
The veteran Georgia farm
leader added that he did not de
sire to "be a party of any such
charges."
Daniel W. Bell, former under
secretary of the treasury and
now a member of tho decontrol
board, challenged Llndcr's state
ment that "thousands of letters
are going out from Washington

already made."
OPA Man Asks
For More Sugar
PORTLAND. Ore., Aug. 14 (,V)
Because, he said, sugar Is plenti
ful in the northwest, an OPA
price executive recommended to
day that an additional 10 pound
canning sugar allotment be or
dered In this area.
Henry T. White, district OPA
price executive. In a telegram
to the regional office at San
Francisco, said a survey by Lew
Wallace, democratic national
committeeman for Oregon,
showed that wholesalers could
meet such an allotment, and
that transportation is available
if stocks on hand are not suf
ficient. White sa'il that a bumper
fruit crop likely will be wasted
if additional sugar Isn't forth
coming. Turks Said Firm
On Dardanelles
ISTANBUL, Aug. 13 (,Vt (De
layed). Usually well informed
sources said tonight that Turkey
had refused cateporlcally the
Soviet Union's dcm'nd that The
Dardanelles be placed under
Joint Russian-Turkish defense?
and that the control of that vital
strip of water be handled by the
Black sea powers.
The Turkish reply, these
sources said, was understood to
have contended that the Soviet
demands, as contained in a note
delivered last week, exceeded
the limit of the Montreux con
vention and left Turkey no
choice but to reject them.
These sources said Turkey's
reply asserted that the Soviet
demands, which amounted to
permission to set up bases along
The Dardanelles, were predicated
not on international security but
solely for the benefit of three
nations.
