tighten their grip on Hungary to
day when that country’s parlia
ment convenes to name a new
president to succeed Zoltan Tildy.
Tildy resigned Friday a few
hours after the interior ministry
announced his son-in-law, Dr.
Victory Csornojy, had been ar
rested on unspecified charges of
spying and treason. Csornojy re
signed as minister to Egypt
Thursday.
It is expected the presidency
now will go to Arpad Szawasits,
who last June led his socialists
into a merger with the commun
ists in th eunified labor party.
Tildy was a former leader of the
small holder party which was
strongly supported by the pea
sants.
The socialist press in Berlin
charged Moscow was giving the
western allies the run-around.
Meanwhile, the Russians made a
new attempt to win over the 2,
005,000 Germans in the blockaded
western sectors of the city by of
fering them raw materials and
power to run industries.
The catch was that finished
products must be delivered to the
communist-controlled German
economic commission for sale in
the Russian zone or in the Soviet
dominated eastern E u r o p ean
countries. If they could work this
the communists would achieve
what they have long sought—an
economic stranglehold over all
Berlin.
Delegates attending the Danube
river conference in Belgrade ex
pressed the belief Russia will get
the kind of Danube navigation
convention she wants. Yugoslavia
was following the line laid down
by Soviet deputy foreign minister
Andrei Vishinsky.
Western powers in Moscow
have asked an interview with
Prime Minister Stalin and may
see him shortly, qualified sources
said today.
Three London newspapers re
ported Stalin had agreed to talk
tonight with the American, Brit
ish and French envoys over the
east-west crisis that included
blockaded Berlin.
There were hints in the German
capital the Russians are ready to
talk business.
MOSCOW
Moscow reported the western
diplomats and Russians already
have made progress and “defin
itely contributed toward easing
the tense international situation.”
The ambassadors were standing
by for a call from the Kremlin
and keeing their mouths shut.
Purposes of the Moscow talks
were reported*to be the easing of
the Russian blockade of Berlin
and establishing a basis for fu
ture four-power talks. A good au
thority in Moscow said there ap
pears to be a good chance both
objectives will be worked out.
The Berlin blockade started in
June. The Russians barred access
through their surrounding zone
by railway, road and canal. The
western powers have been flying
in enough food for their 2,000,000
or more Berlin Germans, but coal
has become increasingly short.
BERLIN
Russian newspapers in Berlin
said the squeeze will continue
unless the anti-Communist elect
ed city government yields to the
minority communist demand that
accounts held in banks in the Rus-1
sian sector by western Berliners
may never be released except at
the pleasure of the economic com
mission of the Soviet zone.
U. S. and British zone rations
increased to 1,990 calories a day,
about a fourth higher than at the
start of the year, because of good
crops, money reform and the
Marshall plan.
LONDON
The London Star said the west
ern diplomats will talk with Sta
lin about the blockade and other
international affairs. The British
press association said the meeting
“may lead to developments of the
utmost importance,” perhaps a
meeting of Stalin, President Tru
man, Prime Minister Attlee and
French Premier Andre Marie.
LAKE SUCCESS
A United Nations refugee re
port said the 300,000 or more Pal
estine Arab refugees face disease
and hunger. Count Folke Berna
dotte, U. N. mediator, contends
the Arabs should be allowed to
go home immediately, despite
Jewish objections. The Jews for
their part complain that 10,000 of
their people still are detained on
Cyprus. The U. N. considers the
refugee problem today.
BELGRADE
Yugoslavia fired its ambassador
to Romania because he sided with
the cominform against Premier
Marshal Tito.
ATHENS
In Greece, the communists were
driven from strategic Kleptis
Heights in the long battle for the
Grammos mountains near Alban
ia.
ROME
Across the Adriatic, Palmiro
Togliatti asserted he is retiring
from politics until he recovers
from wounds.
BUDAPEST
The Hungarian parliament met
to accept the resignation of Pres
ident Zoltan Tildy, a smallholder
who tried and failed to do busi
ness with the communists.

Chinese communists threw 210,
1000 troops around Tsinan, capi
