U. S. Gives Russia
Harsh Rebuff On
Danube Pact
W A S H I N GTON, </P) — The
United States borrowed one of
Russia’s favorite charges — “im
perialism” — and threw it right
back in the Kremlin’s teeth today.
The occasion was the state de
partment’s official comment on
the new Soviet-dictated Danube
river agreement.
That document was signed at
Belgrade Wednesday by Russia
and the Soviet satellites. It re
serves full control of the water
way to the Danubian states. The
western powers — repeatedly re
buffed in their efforts to open
the river to vessels of all nations—
refused to sign.
Lashing out at “Soviet manipu
lation of the six votes of its pup
pet states,” the state department
declared: “The unhappy subserv
ience of the Danubian peoples to
Soviet imperialism was never
more clearly manifest than at this
conference.”
There were more harsh words,
as the United States served no
tice that it “of course” will refuse
to recognize the new river con
trols and so will those parts of
Austria and Germany under
American control.
The actions of the Soviet dele
gation to the conference, the state
department asserted, “have made
evident the determination of the
Soviet Union to perpetuate its
economic and political enslave
ment of the Danubian peoples.”
SAN FRANCISCO, (/P>—Out in
San Francisco Bay sailed Mrs.
Woodward Melone on her first
fishing trip.
Her husband jokingly told her
the best bait to use was fried ba
con, a slice of tomato and a ger
anium. She followed his advice.
Her catch—the limit for the
day.
