Maniu Protest
Note Rejected
BUCHAREST, Nov. 24 —The
government of Romania has re-
jected a U. S. note protesting
charges msde during the recent
treason trial of Former Premier
Juliu Maniu that U. S. officials
plotted to overthrow the Bucha-
rest government.
The American note said the
charges were based upon “politi-
cal motivation and insincerity."
The Romanian reply signed by
Foreign Minister Anna Pauker and
delivered to U. S. Minister Ru-
dolf Schoenfeld, said the truth of
the accusations made at the trial
against American officials was
"clearly obvious from the state-
ments made by the accused, from
the documents found on the accus-
ed and recognised by them and
from the acts carried out and con-
fessed.”
Maniu received a sentence of
life imprisonment.
BUTCHER SHOP
GOES COOPERATIVE
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24
(A——George Rookstoll, 32-year-
old north Philadelphia butch-
er, says he plans to sign up 300
customers, sell them meat
wholesale and charge a blan-
ket fee of *125 per customer.
Under his plan. Rookstool
said yesterday his customers
will get "free meat one week
of every month," adding that
the average butcher markup
for profit is 35 percent which
means "my plan assures at
least a saving of 25 percent
monthly for each customer."
“If I get 500 patrons,” Rook-
stool said, “the weekly fee will
be cut to 75 cents.”
Up to Yesterday 185 cus-
tomers had signed up for the
plan.

Howe said he expected Canadian

overtake the country’s $1,000,000,000
annual unfavorable trade balance
with the U. S because "Britain
has been the best traditional mar-

If you want a dim view of the
world and what's happening in it,
take a look at London
I The foreign ministers of the
| United States, Russia, Britain and
France meet there tomorrow to
talk about peace treaties tor Ger-
many and Austria.
About the best comment you can
hear on the conference before it
starts is something like "Well,
maybe some good will come of it."
But nobody’s betting on even that
much.
The war has been over two years
and this is the second time in 1947
thst the four foreign ministers have
met to talk about Germany and
Austria.
The four ministers—Marshall for
the U. S , Bevin for Britain. Bidault
for France and Molotov for Russia
-met in Moscow In March
They got nowhere So now they’re
trying again No one was very
hopeful for that Moacow meeting
There seems to be less hope for
this one.
Since the war ended a big gap
has separated Russia from the
United States, Britain and France
But since the Moscow meeting
the gap has been made even wider
and thia is why:
The U. 8 has started work on
the Marshall plan to help Western
European nations get on their feet
and to keep them out of the grip
of communism

The Russians are bent on wreck
ing the plan. They’ve denounced It
as a U. S. attempt to dominate the
world and make Europe a 49th
state.
To help wreck it, the Communists
of Russia and eight other Euro-
pean countries have set up an
organization they call the "comin-
form ”
It lined up the Communists in
those countries to work for the
spread of communism and fight
U. S. policies in Europe •
i If you think all this gloomy, take
I a look at something else:
— When four foreign ministers meet- -
they ought to be able to get down
to business right away and start
work on the big problems.
| What about all the little details?
They can send their assistants or
deputies ahead to elesr them out
of the wsy so the big stuff can
start. -
In this case the four ministers’
weeks ago sent their deputies to -
elesr up the details.
The deputies met for weeks and
broke up Saturday. What did they
get done? Nothing. The meeting
was a farce.
They lined up just as the minis-
ters have lined up before the
Russians on one side, the Ameri-
cans. British and French on the
other.
