German Peace Treaty

BULLETIN LONDON, Nov, 28 (UP)—Rus~sia again today blocked action by the Council of Foreign Ministers on German frontiers and the economic integration of the Saar inte France, Foreign Minister V. M. molotov refused to discuss a for. nial British proposal to establish an allied commission to study the question after ‘the United States and France accepted the British plan, By United Press Communist-inspired chaos

§ shook France and Italy today ‘and the repercussions extend. ed to the Big Four Foreign | Ministers Council in London,

The foreign ministers meeting was confronted with the prospect that the outbreaks of strikes and rioting may preclude the negotiation of any compromise on the vital issue

of Germany.

Secretary . of State George C, Marshall conferred at length with Foreign Minister Georges Bidault of France before the ministers met for their fourth Session. He re ceived a pessimistic first-hand ree port on the political and economic difficulties which already have half« paralyzed ‘France. Test of Strength High American officials suggeste8f that the United States would bé “foolhardy” to make any comproe mise agreements on Germany before ascertaining how the test of Communist strength in France— and Italy—will end, In the two strike-torn countries

_. there were these developments:

ONE: The _pew French governs ment—grappling with a nation wide strike of two million workers and fresh outbreaks of violence--today recalled for army service about 80,000 men of last year's mili« tary - class. TWO: The Italian government ordered military authorities to take over control of the key northern industrial city of Milan. There, leftist demonstrators and partisans have taken over the federal building and called a 12-hour general strike, : Decision Not Reached Premier Robert Schuman’s new French cabinet, meeting for hours in-emergency session, was reported to have discussed the mobilization of striking dockers, miners and rail way men. It did not reach a deci« sion, The council of the prefecture of police canceled the appointments of 66 police commissioners named after the liberation on the strength of their records in the resistance movement, The Prench military call came as reports of striker sabotage pecame more —and —meore— frequent. Police were being called ypon to clear strikebound reilway stations and factories. Sabotage reports came from rail stations in Paris and the provinces.

Jam Signal Box

In Paris, strikers jammed a signal box at the Austerlitz station, threw a paving block at an engineer in a locomotive at Vanves outside the Montparnasse Station, and turned loose a locomotive under full steam at the La Villette Freight station, As the strikes spread, canal worke ers in North France and the Paris area quit and in some cases blocked the movement of food on canals by pulling barges across the waterways. Whether the Italian government's order to the Army meant that troops would make a forcible attempt to drive the left-wing adherents from the federal prefecture .in Milan was not immediately known. However, the government order said that “military authorities” had been directed to, assume all civil and military power in Milan. Milan police headquarters was ade vised of the order which was bee lieved to be a preliminary to. dece laration of a state of marital law in the turbulent northern metropolis, The Italian demonstrators seized the radio station and virtually all activity in Milan was paralyzed.
