Marshal
British Peace Alliance
With Russia May Be Cut
Churchill Accused of Hitler Methods; .
Stalin Claims Speech Is War Mongering'
By United Press I
Marshal Stalin of Russia has made an angry and ominous speech
denouncing "his wartime ally, Winston Churchill.
In an interview with the Communist newspaper Pravda, broad
cast to the world by Moscow radio, Stalin charges that Churchill's
recent speech at- Fulton, Mis-f
souri, amounted to a "sort of"
ultimatum to all non-English-speaking
nations.
Breakoff Possible
Stalin strongly hinted that he
might be ready to scrap his
twenty year treaty of alliance
with Britain. He says Church
ill's plea for an Anglo-American
alliance is incompatible with the
Anglo-Russian alliance to fifty
years, as proposed recently by
British foreign secretary Bevin.
The Russian Generalissimo
says "I' don't know whether
Churchill and his friends will
succeed in organizing a new
armed intervention against
eastern Europe, but I say con
fidently, they would be beaten."
Compared to Hitler
Stalin went on to . compare
Churchill with Adolf Hitler
and to accuse Britain's wartime
Prime Minister of borrowing
Hitler's theories of racial sup
remacy by trying to unite the
English speaking peoples into a
bloc to dominate the world.
Stalin also inferred that he
does not consider Churchill's
speech as merely the utterance of
a private individual. He implies
that he is not sure that Church
ill's views are not shared by the.
British government.
Pokes Fun
Stalin poked fun at Churchill
for warning that Communism is
spreading throughout eastern
Europe. Stalin says that's not
quite accurate, that Communism
is spreading all over Europe, not
just in the eastern part. Stalin
says the common people have de-
cided that Communists deserve
their confidence. And he an-
swers Churchill's charge of to-
taiitariamsm in boviet sponsor-
ed regimes by asserting that
Communist backed governments
of eastern Europe have the sup-
port oi lour to six coalition
parties. On the other hand, Sta
lin says, one party, the labor
party, is dominant in .Britain.
Altogether, Stalin describes
Churchill's speech as "danger
ous" and "war mongering." He
savs it threatens the war-won
unity of the United Nations.
Situation Tense
Stalin made no reference to
the tense international situation
in Iran. But a late dispatch from
London hints that our State De
partment mav have been a bit
strong in its inference of large-
scale Russian troop movements
across Iran, in the general direc
tion of Tehran, Turkey and Iraq.
Tonight the British are saying
that perhaps the Soviet troop
movements in Iran are not as
comnrehensive as Washington

Petition Permitting Apartment
Building Started By Veterans
Crawford Prevented from Constructing
GI Homes by Chapel Hill Zoning Rule
A group of veterans here are launching a drive to collect signa
tures on a zoning petition here to permit building of an apartment
house on Pritchard Avenue near Carr Street, which is to be rented
to student veterans. The action came as a result of the petition of
Mr. J. A. Crawford before the Chapel Hill Zoning Committee in
Town Hall Tuesday.
Mr. J. A. Crawford, a resident
of Chapel Hill, and Navy vete
ran, is prevented from building
an apartment house here because
of a zoning ordinance which was
passed in 1938 which creates a
two square block Zone "A" island
between Saunders. Street and
Rosemary Lane, and Columbia
and Church Streets. The trans
fer of this area from "B" to
"A" was requested by the resi
dents of the area in a move to
prevent the building of any fra
ternity houses there, it is learn
ed on good authority.
Thirty Vets Attend
About thirty veterans attend
ed the hearings Tuesday. Pre
viously scheduled to meet in a
smaller room, the hearings were
moved to the court room jto ac
commodate the unexpected visit
ors. When Mr. W. Qt Crawford's
plea on behalf of his son to grant
special permission to build was
turned down by the committee,
a spokesman for the veterans at
the meeting requested a definite
time for final action before the
committee, and promised to get
the required signatures from the
residents of the zone to return
the zone to "B" status. The com
mittee set Friday, March 29, at
7 :30 P. M. . as the time for a
public hearing, when the peti
tion will be presented and objec
tions to the petition heard.
Objection to the building has
come from several home owners
in the neighborhood, though no
objectors' were present at the
hearing Tuesday. The fact that
the Robert Foster Apartments
were built in that area since the
present zoning ordinance went
into effect, apparently without
opposition, was presented.
