GONZALES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON—IW—The best information trickling through the Iron Curtain indicates that Russia’s Commu nist masters are unlikely to start World War 111 this year or next. f Strategists assessing this information for an inkling of Soviet intentions are quick to attach important condi tions to their estimates and conclusions. The Kremlin might: 1. Order a full-scale military strike in Europe on the basis of optimistic Communist intelligence reports minimizing chances or non-Communist resistance. 3. Dare to gamble on a short war by striking at the Oerman Ruhr and the Middle East in a two-ply move to boost the Soviet Union's industrial potential and thus prepare for a long, showdown war with the United States. 3. Move its armed foroes, if Soviet leaders felt their empire was threatened internally or from without by the West’s re-arma ment. The experts believe, however, that the Kremlin leaders are more likely to avoid war moves since their present military forces, though tremendous in*size, are far from being invincible even for a short war. “PEACE” TALK STARTED Western diplomats In Moscow appear to attach great importance to the appearance of a new maga . sine, “News.” dedicated to the restoration of Russian friendship ; with the Anglo-Saxon countries.

Moreover, Russia's economy Is only beginning to revive from the ravages of World War n. A war move would bring swift aEied air destruction in Russia again.

The trouble began for Olover when Thomas E. Dorman, 33-year old taxi driver of 510 W. Pope St. was hauled Into court Thursday for having a small quantity of non taxpaid whiskey in his machine. Dorman testified that he had no idea how the whiskey got into the taxi. Then Glover came for ward and told the court that he left the booze in question in the cab. Solicitor J. Sheperd Bryan re leased Dorman and pencilled Glov er’s name on the warrant. Glover was given a 30-day term, suspend ed for a year on payment of S2O and costs for possessing Illegal whiskey. A knife-and-icepick brangle be tween two Dunn Negroes ended with each man paying the costs for the other’s appearance in court. MUTUAL ASSAULT Woodrow McNeil, 37, and George , T. Leach, 20, both of N. Fayette ville Ave., had charged each other with assault with a deadly weapon. Leach was accused of knifing Mc- Neil, while the latter was suppos ed to have reciprocated with a knife and an ice pick. Judge Strickland found the pros ecution frivolous and malicious in both cases. He taxed the prosecut ing witnesses costs of court. Alberta Allen, 46-yeqr-old Ne gro woman of 403 E. Vance St., appealed a conviction and an in voked sentence to Superior Court after Judge Strickland convicted her of possessing illicit whiskey for sale.

U. N. airplanes used clearing weather to blast the Communist marshalling yard at Pyongyang and made more than 600 sorties against Red targets, aiming by radar through low clouds.
