some agents of death which have
been created since the close of
World War II. His purpose natur
ally is to spur the minds of men to
advise ways of averting such a
catastrophe.
There are two ways of meeting
this menace. One is to prepare
mighty defenses to try to ward off
attack. The other is to push
through measures for control of
the atomic bomb and for universal
disarmament. Pending disarma
ment preparedness must be the
watch-word.

“Yes, free of prying ushers and

Russia Shuns
‘'Peace Statute”
For Germany
(By Jack Smith)
LONDON, </R)—Russia turned a
diplomatic cold shoulder today on
an informal American suggestion
that the Allies impose an uncon
ventional “peace statute” on Ger
many, foregoing a formal treaty.
Ignoring the suggestion, a Soviet
memorandum to the western mem
bers of the four-power deputy for
eign ministers conference propos
ed instead that the major powers
draft a formal treaty, sponsor a
peace conference to approve it,
and then submit it for ratification
by the ‘German State.”
Under the Soviet plan, the coun
cil of foreign ministers would
write the final treaty text after
hearing suggestions at an interna
tional conference of active bellig
erents. The plan would be sub
mitted to Allied nations who de
clared war but did not put forces
in the field. Then it would go to
the German state.
The Soviet note said a peace
conference should be called only
“when a central government is es
tablished which is recognized as
suitable to accept" a treaty.
American sources said a clarifi
cation of the memorandum would
be sought.
Poland and Greece, appearing
before the deputies’ German and
Austrian sections, made their ap
peals today for reparations and
peace guarantees.
Poland estimated her material
losses alone at $11,700,000,000. or
36 per cent of the “substance of
our material wealth.”
Polish spokesman Stefan Wier
blowski renewed Poland’s claim to
40,000 square miles of prewar Ger
man territory along the Oder and
Neisse rivers. The Poles, adminis
tering the region under Potsdam
agreement, have had “consider
able successes” there already,
Wierblowski said, “in the field of
economic and cultural life.”
A1 Capone
Dies; Broke
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. The
body of A1 Capone, once fabulous
ly wealthy Chicago gang leader,
whose attorney said he died broke,
lay in a mortuary here today,
waiting completion of plans for
the funeral here later this week.
Dr. Kenneth Phillips, who at
tended Capone for several years
and was with the 48-year-old ex
mobster when he died in his 25
room villa on nearby Palm Island
Saturday, said the final rites
would be held her. Other informa
tion, he added, must come from
the family.
In Los Angeles, Capone’s attor
ney, Abraham Teitelbaum, said
members of Capone’s family had
supported him in recent years, and
the villa was “mortgaged to the
hilt.”
Federal Officials once estimated
Capone’s fortune at $20,000,000,
but, Teitelbaum said, “A1 still
owed the government money when
he died.”
