Losing The Cold War

given by Sigma Delta Chi, pro
fessional journalism fraternity,

Newspaper Editors.

100 Reported Dead
In Riots In Staliirs
Home Town, Tiflis
TIFLIS, Soviet Georgia, UR —
Reliable Georgian sources said
today that up to 100 Georgians
may have been killed when
troops opened fire on surging pro
Stalin demonstrators who tried to
seize the Tiflis post office last
March 9.
The sources said the city was
an armed camp for days after the
rioting. Troops and tanks patrol
led the streets and a midnight
curfew was clamped on.
This telephoned dispatch from
Tiflis was interi'upted at this point
apparently by censoi-ship. Three
western correspondents were per
mitted to go to the Soviet Georg
ian capital on April 15, the first
visit to the city by outside re
porters after riots were set off in
Stalin’s home state by the Soviet
leadei’ship’s downgrading of the
dead dictator.
The figure of up to 100 killed
is the highest yet reported. Pre
vious reports from diplomatic
sources said nine were believed
to have been killed.
