Molotov's reply to arshall's accusation was that he did not know of any case where Nazis •ere being recruited for the Socialist Unity rarty. Un the other hand, he mentioned several German~ who used to be active Nazis and who are now holding responsible positions in the British zone. And he declared that the judges in the American zone were thirty-five ,lll'Cent zi, in the British zone forty-three pe rce n t, and in the French zone fifty p~rcent. Bevin came r ig ht back at Molotov and named five form e r high Nazis who a re holding positions of im1ortance 10 the Soviet Zone. The men he mentioned are production experts and former aiz■ storm troop leaders. Bevin said he•• had J·ust - - picked those Nazis at random. He could name thirty or forty more. It is understood that Secretary Marshall had a ~rivate conversation with Molotov today, aad explained the foreign policy of the United Statea as demonstrated by President Truaan's message to Congress yesterday,,, on aid to democratic &z■■f Greece. Marshall worked out the New American policy in detai with President Truman before he left Washington. Be will shortly have an interview with Stalin, and no doabt will give the Soviet Premier a fe, facts about our country's intention to stop a"I seep of red despotism. ~eneral c.uarney, comm~ding the American zone in ~ermany, has turned down the dem a nds made by Soviet I ■ Foreign Minister Yolotov -- demands that the Unit ed States break up the camps taking care of displaced per ous and stop4, granting special privileges to refugees. This was made public during UcNearney's final press conference before leaving Germany and rtl4A Lucius turning his command"'to Lieutenant Genera~&•&••~Clay. lie declared it was impossible to break up the camps, because such an action would siaply fill the American zone with wandering, homeless people. laa There are •till five-hundred-and-eighteen thousand displaced persons in our zone. American official• have exhausted all facilities for repatriation. Consequently the only solution left is a resettlement plan. Ontil that has been achieved the caapa cannot be disbanded/ Uclearney added that he saw no hope of solving the question until the status of Palestine is settled. (The General stated politely that a charge preferred by olotov is, to p ut it mildly, inaccurate. ( maintaining, ~olotov decl a red that we were~••iamaai•I~ German troops, nine thousand of them, in our zone. To that YcNearney's words are: we complet e ly reject the accusation.:) He also dealt with a protest from the Polish government against our use of Polish units as guards. This complaint the General rejected, and said the United States Army in Germany bad every intention of maintaining such Polish units as are needed in the American zone. However, any Polish soldiers who want to go home to Communist Poland may leave any time they wish. (General UcNearney, referring to the news about Greece, anno nces that our occupation forces have not enough troops to furnish any for Greece - should Congress approve the re~uest of President Truman that, not only money, but men be sent. Mc earney has, time after time, urged that the Ar■ y be discharged from the duty of occupying Germany and that the job be turned over to the State Department. J FRa ~E ---- The French National Assembly had another noisy riot today. On Tuesday the Assembly had to adjourn c a use of uproar and andemonium. Deputies of the Left and the Right slugging each other, slaamin1 the tops of their desks, and screaming i ■precationa. Convened again today, the legislation of France promptly got into another rowdy battle. This time it reven, was ,,\■ Jl ■ ZA 111ore peculiar. Former Premier Paul Reynaud was talkin1 bitterly about the Indo-Chinese rebela of the Viet Nam Republic. He described one of their leader,, Dbuong Bae May, as a bloody hangman who had been responsible for the murder of several French■en, ia Reynaud shouted the aa accusation, a Deputy of the Republican party i■ of Liberty jumped tohis feet and shouted: •There's ,the murderer. Throw him out.• Sure eaough,there was Dheung Bae May, sitting in the gallery and wearing a p ok er face. Other Deputies joined in with shouts of •ass a ssin" and "to prison ith him". Froa the Communist FRANCE - 2 ------------ side of the Chamber c a me yells of wiet im stay.• . He has a right to be bere.w The Indo-Chinese leader, deciding to get out of the excitement, arose and walked toward the door. That redoubled the noise from the Co■aunist side ot the Chamber -- the Reds shouting to him not t4(J.eave, and assuring him that they would defend hi. That brought the climax. Purple words flew fro■ one side to the other. Deputies who atill ' carried black eyes from Tuesday's fight rose in wrath, yelled and waved their ar■s -- while others again banged the · hinged tops of their de1ka. The turaoil was deafenln1. Once again, it was too auch. Eduard lerriot, President of the Assembly, had to call it off and auapend the session. Republican guards rushed to the door of the visitors gallery to prevent infuriated Deputies from tearning the Indo-Chinese Viet la■ leader li ■b fro■ li ■b. And now Nelson Case, who has been tearing these Sun Valley Mountains apart.
