Bulganin Succeeds
Stalin In Army
LONDON, (;P)—Nikolai A. Bul
ganin, newly appointed successor
to Prime Minister Stalin as head
of the Soviet armed forces, has
been named one of Russia’s depu
ty premiers, the Moscow rad o an
nounced.
Bulganin last Monday took uv
Stalin’s portfolio as minister o;
the Russian armed forces because
of the piessure on Stalin of h.s
“main work.”
That change was interpreted as
meaning that Russian emphasis
was shifting more and more t<
post war reconstruction. Stal n
had assumed the burden of direct
ng t ie armed forevs at the begin
ning of the war.
Among the dozen or o other
deputy premiers are foreign min
ister V. M. Molotov Andrei Vi
sa nsky of t'ae foreign ministry and
A. I. Mikoyan, minister of foreign
trade.
Bulganin’s admission among the
select may mark him as one of the
men high in the running for suc
cession to the aging Stalin—a ioh
which many observers have said
might be handed on to Molotov.
France Firm For
Decentralization
(By Wes Gallagher)
BELIN, (lP)—France stood firm
today in opposition to the estab
lishment of a strong central Ger
man government and declared
that she regarded as “premature”
any consideration of such a pro
posal at the Big Four foreign min
isters meeting which opens Monday
in Moscow.
“France is of the opinion that
Germany should be constituted on
a federal basis and that its decen
tralization should be pushed to
the utmost limits,” the highest
French authorities in this four
power capital asserted in answer
;o an TP) questionnaire submitted
on the even of the Moscow confer
ence. “France sees in this decen
tralization the only possibility for
development of a true democratic
spirit in Germany.”

Fisheries Fight
Tariff Reduction
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A House
subcommittee agreed today to ask
the state department “to give seri
ous consideration” to pleas of the
fisheries industry against any re
duction in tariffs on imported
fish.
Rep. T o 11 e fson <R.-Wash.\
chairman of a merchant marine
and fisheries sub-committee, told
a reporter he was authorized to
communicate the group’s decision
to the state department. The sub
committee, meeting in executive
session, took no action on the mat
ter, he .said.
Representatives of dom e s t i c
fisheries opposed further tariff re
ductions at recent hearings. A
group of New Englanders con
tended their industry is faced with
ruinous compet;tion from war-de
veiopcd fisheries of Canada, New
foundland and Iceland.
The state department has au
thority to negotiate trade agree
ments with tariff reductions up to
50 per cent.
Tollefson said the sub-commit
tee discussed complaints by west
