States criticism of Bulgaria bift
said he hoped no action would be
undertaken which might hinder
the establishment of normal and

department in Washington June

Sofia five days earlier of Nikola
Petkov, leader of the opposition
agrarian party, who was accused
of plotting against the Bulgarian
government.
He said he personally was “notj

Story Says Bridges
Met With Top
Communists
NEW YORK, (iP)—The World
Telegram said yesterday that
Marry .Bridges, president of the
International longshoremen’s a«d
warehousemen’s union <CIO>, held
a secret conference Monday with
top officials of the Communist
party.
Present with Bridges at the
meeting in the apartment of Mur
ray Winocur, secretary of the CIO
maritime joint policy committee
and one of the leaders of the cur
rent maritime stoppage, the World
Telegram said, were William Z.
Foster, national chairman of the
Communist party; John William
son, C. P. Naabor and others.
At Communist party headquar
ters, a public relations officer siH
yesterday that the story was “not
true.” He said, however, that no
was speaking only for himself a^d
Fdster, Williamson and Lannon
were “out” and could not be
reached for comment. Thompson
also was reported by a party
spokesman to be “out” and not ex
pected back tod§y.
. Winocur, vice president of the
j American communications associ
j ation, said he had seen Bridges
i several times in the last few days
but denied that he had seen him
Monday.
Asked whether Bridges had
been in his home Monday, Wino
cur said: “That isn’t true. The
story is a fabrication based on two
premises. They’ve never given up
their fight to deport Harry and in
the present waterfront situation
they are using the old Red smea.\”
Dems. Apologize
For Savage Defeat
SPOKANE, (/P)—“Some Demo
cratic apologists,” national Re
publican chairman B. Carroll j
Reece said last night in a radio j
address, “are seeking to mislead
the people into believing” that the
defeat of Democrat Charles Sav
age in Washington’s third district j
Congressional race this month was j
“really a popular victory for Mr. ■
Truman.”
He said the true reason was the
open support of “our bi-partisan
foreign policy’ by the victor, Re
publican Russell V. Mack, of Ho
quiam, and the fact that Savage
had the support of Henry A. Wal
lace. Reece asked his audience
also to “remember always that
Mr. Truman publicly announced
his support” of the deefated can
didate.
At a news conference earlier in
the day, Reece said he did not be
lieve it would make any difference
to Republican prospects in 1948 if
Wallace remained a Democrat or
launched a third party.

Man Beats His
Children To Death
• »
MIAMI, Fla. <JPh-A sobbing 00
year-old father told detective ser
geant John L. Deas today that he
had beaten his two children to
death and then shot two of his
next door neighbors because he
didn’t want to see the children
“placed in a home.”
The father, Chris Russell, oper
ator of a cafe, attempted to take
his own life as detectives rushed
into his restaurant, Deas said.
The blood-stained and battered
bodies of Peggy Russell, 11, and
John Russell, 6, were found in a
bedroom of their little home.
Next door, Mr. and Mrs. Walter
L. Wolfe were found on the floor
of their real estate office, both
suffering from bullet wounds.
Another business neighbor of
Russell’s, Mrs. B. Poppelauer, told
detectives Russell had rushed into
her store and fired his gun at her
“point blank’’ but missed.
Detectives took a revolver from
Russell who pointed the gun at
himself and snapped the plunger
on an empty shell as they went
into his cafe, Deas said.
Deas, in reconstructing the af
fair, said Russell apparently killed
his children, and then, “beserk,”
rushed into Wolfe’s office and shot
the couple.
Physicians said both Wolfe and
his wife, Ethel, might die from
their wounds. Wolfe was shot
twice, one bullet entering his
throat and the other his left hand.
Mrs. Wolfe also was wounded
twice in the left shoulder and in
the left side.
