U. S. Protests • i
Russia Removing
Axis Assets
WASHING TON (/P) — The
United States has protested to
Russia against Soviet removal of
former German and Italian assets
from the defeated Balkan states—
Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania.
Undersecretary of state Robert
Lovett told a news conference to
day that a note had been deliver
ed to Soviet foreign minister Mol
otov in Moscow yesterday asking
full information regarding such
transfers of property.
Lovett said the state department
took the position in its note that:
1. All removals of property to
Russia before the Hungarian, Bul
garian and Romanian peace treat
ies come into effect are “of pro
visional character.”
2. Austrian assets in these coun
tries can not be seized on the
grounds that they are German
properties pending Allied agree
ment on a definition of “German
assets.”
3. Only removals made in ac
cordance with peace treaty provi
sions can be recognized by the
United Sates as legal.
The note said the United States
in concerned because it was one of
the signers of the peace treaties
with Hungary, Bulgaria and Ro
mania and thus holds responsibil
ity for enforcement of the pacts’
provisions.
In discussing Italian assets in
these countries, the note said dis
i'o -] of -'uch nrooerties is spe
cifically provided for in the peace
treaty.
Dispatches from London said
the British government had de
livered a similar protest to the
Russians yesterday. Lovett told
reporters in answer to questions
France Appeals To
Russia To Assist In
Recovery Plan
LAKE SUCCESS, (^ — France
made a new appeal to Russia yes- *
terday to join in implementing
the Marshall plan.
The appeal was made by French ;
delegate Georges Boris as the
United Nations economic and so-1
cial council launched a general
debate on the economic commis
sion tor Europe.
Boris said distrust between Rus- 1
sia and the western powers was'
paralyzing European economic re
covery. He blamed the failure of
the recent three power conference
in Paris on this distrust and urged |
that the big powers make every '
effort to develop “freedom from
distrust.”
Speaking of Russia’s coriten- (
tions that the British-French plan
of implementing the Marshall
plan would interfere with national j
sovereignties, Boris said:
“We hope this attitude will
change when distrust disappears.”!

Spending Up
Despite Cuts
WASHINGTON. </P>—Adminis
tration budget experts said yester
day that despite Congressional
cuts, federal spending this fiscal
year will run fairly close to the
$37,500,000,000 estimate outlined
by President Truman last Janu
ary.
It may even exceed that figure
when all the items are totaled up
next June 30, these analysts told
a reporter on the stipulation that
they not be named.
They said the main reason for
this is that Congress voted a num
ber of appropriations—chiefly for
foreign aid—which were not fig
ured in when Mr. Truman pre
pared his budget estimates.
The analysts’ d emands for
anonymity was underscored by the
fact that the battle of the budget
is still raging unabated on Capitol
Hill.

Investigation Of
Coin in tin ism To
Be “Stupendous”
WASHINGTON. </P) — The in
vestigation of Communism in Hol
lywood, scheduled by the House
committee on un-American activi
ties to begin Sept. 2'\ got advance
billing today as stupendous and
colossal.
Almost, that is.
"It will be sensational,” Rep.
Nixon <R.-Calif.> predicted.
A member of the committee,
Nixon told reporters:
"We intend to name names and
to produce witnesses who will tes
tify they have seen some persons
prominent in Hollywood at Com
munist meetings and who will re
port what they said.”
Just how many first dimension
stars will be brought into the hear
ings is not yet certain. Nixon said
he thinks most big name stars who
may figure in the inquiry will be
listed as tinged with pink rather
than bright red Communists.
The key figures in the Commun
ist movement in Hollywood are
i not well known nationally, Nixon
I said, but are important in the in
! dustry.

the rebels in northeast China
•Manchuria* and as a second front
against the Chinese government.”
