Soviet Russia Threatens New Military Pact Seen As Desperate Effort At Blocking Approval Os Accord WASHINGTON (INS) —The Russian threat to create a formal Communist military alliance in eastern Europe was described today as a last desperate effort to block French approval of the Paris pacts. Ratification of the pacts would add a half million Germans to the western Europe defense force. The Soviet Union announced that if the Paris pacts are ratified, the Communists will go ahead with their plan to bind eight nations into a competing defense alignment. The eight countries are Russia, Poland, Hungary. Bulgaria, Albania, Czechoslovakia. Romania and East Germany. U. S. experts labeled this threat an empty gesture because the Communist bloc of .eastern Europe is already a far tighter alliance than the one envisaged for western Eu---IOML One official commented: "Thia merely formalizes and confirms that which already is in existence.” He pointed out that a Russian army officer, Marshal Rokossovsky. has been running the Polish Red army for some years, and now is minister of defense in the Communist government of Poland. A high official added: "This plan doesn’t impress us as any basic change, as we always have estimated that the Soviets controlled the armed forces of the satellite nations." , — The threat to form a competing NATO-type organibation was first made last December after the So-

vieta failed in a number of other moves to derail Western European Union. The earlier moves included a call for a Big Four meeting’ on Germany and Austria, and the suggestion that Russia herself join the North Atlantic treaty organization which the western powers Created as a bulwark against possible Soviet aggression. ■ The Soviet target now is the French senate, which opens debate Wednesday on the Paris accords. The French chamber of deputies has approved ratification and although the senate does not have the power to veto the action, it could throw the whole issue to the lower house for new debate and another ’vote. Some U. S- officials took the optimistic view that the Moscow announcement indicated the Russians believe the French senate will ratify the Paris agreements. French approval would clear the last big hurdle. The U. S. has not yet acted, but hearings will begin in the senate wßbih ten days and ratification is considered certain. Meanwhile, the Eisenhower administration reiterated in emphatic terms it would not consider an international meeting with the Russians until certain conditions have been met. They are completion of ratification of the Paris pacts and concrete evidence from the Russians that they are ready to sign an Austrian peace treaty and do something about providing free elections to permit German reunificatlon. —— Train-Car Collision Takes Second Life INDIANAPOLIS (HNS) — Mrs. Netta Dalton, 81, of Indianapolis, died Monday in Indianapolis of injuries suffered in the train-car collision which killed her husband.

Miss Anemone Ann Mabie, 38, of Indianapolis, Mrs. Dalton’s daughter by a previous marriage, remains in critical condition with injuries suffered sin the accident.

Gruenther Does Not Expect Europe War Rearmed Germany To Aid Allied Strength WASHINGTON (INS) — Gan. Alfred M. Gruenther is convinced that if Germany is rearmed, the Russians can be kept out of western Europe. The supreme allied commander for Europe believes the German military contribution, plus new atomic battlefield weapons, would hurl back the largest invasion force the Soviets could muster. This would open the way for a major change in global strategy, now based on the assumption that the Soviets would initially overrun Europe even in a war which they would lose in the end. Gruenther told the Advertising Council in Washington Monday night that "prospects are good’’ for final ratification for German rearmament by the French senate this week. He continued: "In three to four years, after the German contribution is effective ... we will have reasonably good assurance that we shall be able to defend Europe successfully." The European commander said "we still probably are hot strong enough yet to resist successfully an all-out qftßck/* but ho waU-Q clear that he does not expect war. He said there is no real defense against America’s strategic bombing fleet of B-47 jets and that, while no one could be said to win an atomic war, it is certain that Russia would be defeated. Gruenther said: “we have an overwhelming air retaliatory capacity in the event that war shouldbreak out today. To take the most pessimistic assumption, namely that the Soviets might be successful in overrunning Europe, they would still be defeated because of our great air capabilities.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Many Loopholes In Laws On Marriages Can't Stop State Matrimony Mills INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Attorney general Edwin K. Steers said today the Indiana marriage license laws have too many loopholes to stop the Ohio river matrimony mills. Criticism of quickie marriages in Lawrenceburg and other Indiana towns on the Ohlo-Kentucky-lndi-ana border resulted in passage ot a law by the recent General Assembly. He blamed the county clerks association for defeating the sen-ate-passed waiting period amend-' ment so that clerks in border counties could continue the lucrative practice of speedy marriages. Steers said the laws now have no teeth and the state is powerless to act to prevent the continuance of marriage mill practices in that section of the state. Officials of Ohio and Kentucky point out their own states have five and three day waiting periods respectively. WINTERPAYS (Continued from Page One) but high winds prevented it from sticking. Jasper and Charlestown post areas had heavy rains, whip70 miles an hour this morning. Tipton was one of the hardest hit counties of the Pendleton district and was blanketed with snow.

The winds bowled over trees, signs, and utility poles, ripped away awnings, and unroofed small buildings. Snowdrifts caused several northern Indiana roads to be blocked to traffic today. In southern Indiana. 10 roads still are closed by high water.
