Red Pressure Is Easing Off, Officials Say
By UNITED PRESS
Diplomats believed today that Russia has given up for the time being any plans to extend the westward sweep of communism by violent means.
In the face of stiffening resistance by the American-led Western Powers, the Soviet Union appeared to have decided to concentrate on consolidating the Communist position behind the iron curtain which has fallen over half of Europe.
That was the interpretation in British and American quarters, of Russia's failure to make any major gesture of aid to Communists in advance of the Italian elections April 18 and 19.
Apparently convinced that the Communist front cannot win in Italy at this time, the Soviet Union gave a forthright negative reply to Western Power demands that Trieste be returned to Italy, and offered no other bait for Italian voters. The Moscow newspaper Pravda complained plaintively that Italy could have bought wheat and coal from Russia and Poland more cheaply than from the United States, but that was all.
Anglo-American quarters believed the end of Communist violence in France—again for the time being—also had been signaled by the Communist Central Propaganda bureau which Russia set up with headquarters at Belgrade.
It was believed that Communist leaders now recognize that Russian pressure was in considerable measure responsible for counter-measures of the Western Powers, notably the European Recovery program.
In London, a British observer remarked that Premier Josef Stalin had assured American aid for Europe, and that the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia made passage of E.R.P. certain.
Pershing Rifles To Sponsor Exhibit
The Pershing Rifle unit of the R.O.T.C. will sponsor an exhibit in the Engineering Exposition which is to be held tomorrow and Saturday, announced Capt. William E. Hensel, assistant professor of military science. The exhibit will be held in the Military Science building tomorrow afternoon and evening and Saturday morning and will be open to the public.
Included in the exhibit will be weapons, such as small arms, machine guns, and mortars; communications equipment, including switch-boards, field telephones, and F-M radios used by the army and a map exhibit showing various types of army maps and map training aids.
Another feature of the exhibit will be the showing of two movies, "Our Army Today", giving the latest scientific developments in the army, and "The Birth of the B-29," which shows how the giant bomber is constructed.
The Pershing Rifles is a voluntary unit within the R.O.T.C. which was founded by General Pershing when he was a Lieutenant instructing the R.O.T.C. in Nebraska.
Haworth Entrance Gets New Approach
The feature of the border will be the concrete benches to be constructed around the trees. Completion of the project will depend upon weather conditions.
Workmen started laying a new sidewalk in front of Haworth hall this week as part of a beautification project. Included in the plan will be the planting of four trees which will serve as a border for the approach of the building.
