, Dulles Tells Big Four Conference
Soviet One-Man Rule Endangers Peace
BERLIN, </P)—Secretary of State*3
Dulles told the Big Four foreign
ministers conference Tuesday the
Soviet bloc and its one-man rule
is the real danger to world peace,
not the Western defensive alli
ance.
This was the American states
man’s answer to Soviet Minister
Molotov’s charges that the West
ern powers are promoting war in
trying to unify Germany within
the family of European nations.
In stinging language, Dulles
hurled Molotov’s own words—
spoken after the 1938 Nazi- Com
munist partition of Poland—back
at him. At that time, with Moscow
and Berlin in a booty-hungry
partnership, Molotov called it “not
only senseless but criminal” for
the Western nations to war against
Hitler.
Molotov, in challenging the
Western world's motives about
peace now, is just as wrong today
as he was then, Dulles asserted.
The secretary le-d the Western
broadside against the Russian as
a retort to Molotov’s unyielding
position Monday. Molotov had
stressed that Russia would settle
only for a neutral Germany un
able to have any link with the j
W t and saddled with Commu
nist influence.
“The greatest danger to world
‘ pc: re." Dulles said, “lies in the
fact t * i »e cast >t tnili
ta. esta I;s .inc . can :e made
, to . U„ek ~y the- decision of a
single nation, sometimes by the
decision of a single man. That is
a situation that is understandably
terrifying.”
He left no doubt that he was
talking about the monolithic So
viet regime.

Pope Pius’ Condition
“Unchanged" After
Stomach Treatment
VATICAN CITY, M—After a
week of treatment for a strength
sapping stomach condition, Pope
Pius XII’s condition was reported
“unchanged” Tuesday.
He passed a quiet and restful
night, but the hiccups which have
afflicted him since Jan. 26 have
not gone completely, according to
Vatican sources.
Vatican press communiques have
been reassuring and have termed
the Pope’s ailment “slight.” But
public concern for the 77-year-old
pontiff’s condition is growing in
Rome.
Europe Suffers
Worst Winter
In Seven Years
LONDON, UP)—The worst winter
in seven years turned Europe into
one vast icebox from the Urals to
the Mediterranean Tuesday and
spread misery among the homeless
in the big cities. It covered the
play resorts of North Africa with
snow.
Trains were stalled. Rivers were
turned i' °iarp ire ponds. Over
worked electric lines broke down.
Hundreds of villages were cut off.
The weatherman said even low
er temperatures were on the way.
Already, more than 45 people
have* died.
In North Africa, many parts of
Morocco had their first snowfall
in 35 years. Near Meknes, three
feet of snow was reported and the
hills around Algiers were ice
capped.
London had its coldest night in
seven years with the temperature
tumbling to 23 degrees for 12
hours running.
Nearly 100 villages were cutoff
by snowdrifts in the Italian high
lands. A howling windstorm with
gusts of hurricane force lashed at
Trieste, injuring at least seven
people.
Public “warming rooms” were
opened in P’rankfurt, Germany,
and Paris, and shivering homeless
jammed the Paris subway stations
to escape the freezing winds. j
The lowest February tempera
ture in 20 years—7.5 below zero—
was chalked up at Basle, Switzer
land. The Netherlands had its
coldest night of this year with
1.4 degrees below.

Butler Predicts Committee
Will Send Alaska Bill
To The Senate Tomorrow
WASHINGTON, UP)—Chairman
Butler Tuesday predicted the
Senate Interior Committee will
vote Thursday to send an Alaskan
statehood bill to the Senate “whe
ther or not the subcommittee has
completed its work.”
“We’ll risk perfecting the bill
on the floor,” he declared when
asked by a newsman what hap
pened if the Territories subcom
mittee doesn’t complete its draft
of the bill by Thursday.
• The subcommittee only Monday
got down to a discussion of lan
guage and already reportedly has
run into snarls. Causing the
troubles are provisions setting
forth the proposed state’s boun
daries and possible entanglement
with the long-standing controver
sy over aboriginal land claims of
the territory’s natives, it was re
ported.
Butler, who until recently has
opposed Alaskan statehood legis
lation, appeared confident of the
Thursday vote. Asked if he felt
the committee would send the bill
to the Senate, Butler replied: “Oh
sure.”
