Germany.

ory and then beat U. S. extradi*

ica.
The German-born communist

I The Big Four foreign ministers
took up the Berlin problem today.
No important agreement has been
! reached in the talks on unifying
Germany. The three western pow
ers yesterday turned down a Rus
sian request to invite a 22-man
J delegation from the Soviet-spon
sored German’s People’s Con
gress to present their views to the
foreign ministers.
Western observers believe Rus
sia is more likely to reach agree
ment on trade between the Soviet
eastern zone of Germany and
West Germany. The East, which is
largely agrarian, needs the manu
factured goods of West Germany.
The Russian zone was hurt by the
Allied counter-blockade.
The Western plan reportedly
calls for the establishment of spe
cial four-power committees to
regulate trade, currency, and
communications between Berlin
I and the western zone. Berlin is
inside the eastern zdne—about 100
miles from the western border.
The Russians have orrered to
pay the West Berlin railway strik
ers 60 per cent of their wages in
West marks. The men have de
manded 100 per cent payment in
j West marks which are four times
! more valuable than the Soviet
I Washington State
| Vets’ Bonus Law
! Unconstitutional
OLYMPIA, (/P) — Held uncon
stitutional by a Thurston county
superior court judge, the $80,000,
j 000 state veterans’ bonus law’ wras
; headed today for a supreme court
test June 16.
Superior judge John M. Wilson
! ruled in a memo opinion yester
day that the new’ law’ failed to cor
j rect defects of a previous bonus
East mark. The 12,000 strikers
w'ill vote on the Russian offer but
strike leaders predicted the men
would reject it.
Diplomatic sources in Nanking,
the former Chinese nationalist
government capital, said today
that most countries favor recogni
tion of the Chinese communists
when their new’ government is es
tablished.
Britain, France and India have
greater interests in China than
the United States. American offi
cials, these sources said, are urg
ing that recognition be used as a
bargaining lever with the com
munists for better treatment of
! non-Soviet interests.
• * r
measure—Initiative 169, adopted
by the voters last November and
later declared unconstitutional by
the state supreme court.
Judge wilson held the law is
unconstitutional because: (1) the
$80,000,000 bond issue by which
it is to be financed exceeds the
$400,000 constitutional debt limit;
(2) That the bond issue had not
been submitted to the voters to
provide exemption from the con
stitutional limitation, and *3) That
its title was even more misleading
than that of the old initiative
measure.
Challenge to the constitution
ality of the measure was brought
by Charles R. Gruen, Seattle to
bacco dealer, at the request of
persons interested in testing the
validity of the law. The challenge
held the taxes provided in the
law were discriminatory and con
fiscatory against one class of re
taliers. The law provided that the
bonds be retired by two 10 per
cent taxes on cigarettes—the ex
isting one and a new one to be
levied when the law went into ef
fect. The ehallenge also cited vio
lation of the debt limitation pro
vision and the title of the act.

dar, one of the world’s highest,
