Protesting Speech
iBy the Associated Press)
The simmering unrest of Com
munists in Europe and Asia pro
vided a grim backdrop for the
solemn observance of America's
Memorial Day.
This nation's war dead were
honored throughout the United
States and in Japan, England,
France, Italy, Germany, Sweden
and other foreign countries.
And for most Americans it
meant a three-day holiday — with
picnics and big sporting events.
The long weekend brought a slow
ly mounting toll of accidental
death, mostly from traffic and
drowning.
There were speeches at some
of the ceremonies but merelv the
laying of a wreath at others. The
traditional 21-gun salute was fired
in many.
Russian, Polish and Czech Uni
ted Nations delegates walked
away from the grave of the late
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
when W. Averell Harriman de
clared in a speech at Hyde Park, j
New York: j
“A former ally which we had j
helped save from destruction, in
order that it might join in de
stroying Nazi tyranny, turned
traitor to the cause of peace and
international good faith, and pro
. moted an even more terrible tyr
anny of its own.”

Communist Negotiator
‘‘Not Mad at Anybody’'
MUNSAN, (/P) — Blustery Gen.
Nam II, chief Red delegate at the
Korean armistice talks, toned
down his voice Monday as he
railed against Allied handling of
Communist prisoner riots on Koje
Island.
t /
But calm, quiet Maj. Gen. Wm.
K. Harrison, head United Nations
Command negotiator, said “I have
no idea that it has any signifi
cance at all.”
The Red chieftain used milder
tones in repeating his charges that
the Allies are slaughtering Red
prisoners on Koje, the U.N. prison
camp island, and are planning
to retain permanently other Com
munist captives.
Whatever the meaning of the
change in attitude, Harrison said
the Communist negotiators today
‘‘didn’t act like they were mad at
anybody.*’
Bright Flash Startles
Pacific Northwest
VANCOUVER, British Colum
bia, (JP)— Another spectacularly
brilliant flash has startled resi
dents of the Pacific Northwest,
some of whom said it had the
characteristics of a meteorite.
The spark-trailing visitor was
seen at 12:36 a.m: Friday from as
far south as Seattle to points be
yond the Canadian border, 100
miles to the north.
Capt. Mickey Milliken, Trans
Canada Airlines pilot flying from
Victoria to Vancouver said “It
seemed to explode right along
side me and scared my pants off.”
An object some observers be
lieved to be a meteorite exploded
over or near the north end of Se
attle in the early morning of May
11. Other recent reports of such
visitors have been received from
eastern Washington, Oregon and
northern California.

French Cops Seize
Red Ammunition
In Dawn Raids
PARIS, (/P) — French police
cracked down hard on the Com
munists Saturday with a series
of dawn raids on Red party head
quarters and offices throughout
the country. The Ministry of In
terior said arms and ammunition
were seized in a number of cities.
A raid on the headquarters of
the Communist-led General Con
federation of Labor in Toulon un
covered cases of cartridges loaded
#
with buckshot, the ministry said.
Toulon was the scene Friday
night of bloody rioting in which
several police were injured.
Steel - helmeted police armed
with submachine guns pounced
on Red offices throughout Paris
in simultaneous raids, and search
es in other sections were said to
be still going on.
Red leaders apparently knew
they were coming, however, and
managed to burn most of their
documents and reports. Police
seized what remained.

Ships to Haul Salmon
To Bristol Bay Canneries
(AP Special Washington Service)
The striking Sailors’ Union of
the Pacific (AFL) agreed Friday
to permit ships to haul salmon
cannery cargo to Bristol Bay.
A labor dispute between the
Bering Sea Fishermen’s Union
and the Alaska Salmon Industry
was settled Wednesday, opening
the way for operations at Bristol
Bay. *
Settlement of the dispute and
clearance of the ships will mean
almost a complete fishing season
at Bristol Bay, said W. C. Arnold,

Salmon Industry.
The industry yesterday dropped
a $208,000 damage suit against
the Bering Sea Fishermen’s Union
the Sailors’ Union and the Sea
farers’ International Union as one
condition of the settlement.

Communist Party Leader,
Falls from Power

lightning, always lurking at the
summit of Communist high com
mand has struck in Roumania,
toppling Ana Pauker, ruthless
friend of Joseph Stalin, from her
party jobs.
The news that she and other
key Communists had fallen was
relayed from the U.S. legation in
Bucharest. It may be the begin
ning of the end for one of the
most feared and powerful women
sint^e the Middle Ages’ sway of
Lucretia Borgia and Catherine de
Medici.
Mrs. Pauker was a leading

Cabinet) of the Romanian Com
