Overells, and then Marshall Plan New Target MOSCOW. Oct. 5 (AP) A new- Communist international organiza tion was announced today to fight the Marshall Plan and "United States imperialism." Communist leaders of nine coun tries formed the organization. It is the first such grouping to which the Russians have publicly pledged support since they declared the Comintern dead In 1943. IT IS AIMED at uniting the chief Communist strength In Eur- ope.

Pravda, the official Communist newspaper here, as well as Com-munist organs in other European capitals, said Communist leaders from the nine countries met "somewhere in Poland" last month, appraised the world as split into Russian and American orbits, and ordered an "information bureau" set up to coordinate activities. The nine countries whose Communists foregathered were Russia, France, Italy. Czechoslovakia. Poland, Romania. Bulgaria, Yugoslo-via and Hungary.

Russia sent two of its Politburo leaders, and it can be taken for granted that their report to the conference was the principal basis for a "statement" of 1,000 words announced today. IN EFFECT, the Communists served notice of intention to wreck, if possible, the Marshall Plan for European sld as well as the Truman Doctrine of totalitarianism, and any form of what they called United States imperialism. The "information bureau" is to be established in premier Marshal Tilo's capital, Belgrade. Its etV lishment appears certain to lead to an intensification of the fight on U. S.

policy in Europe. Pravda said a joint resolutifti adopted at the conference pictured the world as split into camps led bv the Soviet Union and the United States. It hit out against what was called United States "Ex pansionism" and "imperialist lacic eys." It placed in the latter category such European leaders a Clement Attlee. prime minister of Britain.

Striker was accused of going to the hogan of Charlie Mike, 28, in an isolated area of Arizona 20 miles north of Chambers, and killing Mike and his wife with a tire wrench, about 8 p. m. Wednesday. Mike's daughter, Alice, was hit several times on the head with the weapon. Striker was charged with then padlocking the door from the outside.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS said that about noon the next day two Navajo girls, who were herding sheep in the vicinity, heard a cry from the hogan. The girls looked through the window and discovered Alice, covered with blood, who told them there was something wrong with her parents.

Bush of Parker will be consummated here today, The Arizona Republic learned yesterday. It is part of a $250,000 expansion program across Northern Yuma county planned by the power firm, which has headquarters here, but serves power users as far westward as the Colorado river.

The actual purchase price was not disclosed. Mrs. Bush said, after she and her husband arrived yesterday, that they are disposing of the property "for the investment we had in it." Their purpose, she said, is to see the Parker area, in which they have been development leaders, better served. COMPLETION of negotiations between the local utility and the U. S.

The present staff of the Parker utility will be retained to operate it.

Doutrick said his company an ticipates considerable economic development in the Northern Yu ma county area as a result of availability of electric power in addition to railroad facilities and the transcontinental highway crossing that area. Sale of the Parker utility is the first instance of Mr. and Mrs. Bush disposing of any of the ma jor properties they have built as the Colorado river community grew.

Launching a nationwide food conservation program intended to channel 100,000,000 bushels of grain to hard-pressed Western Europe, Truman said in a nationwide radio address that all Americans should "save a slice of bread a day." He also announced that all public eating places would be asked to serve bread and butter only at the requests of customers.

Oct. 5 (UP) Gen. Charles de Gaulle tola 300,000 per sons at a gigantic political rally today that the security of France Wnees on solid American oppoKi tion to the "world ambitions" of Soviet Russia. In his first speech in the French capital since he resigned the provisional presidency 19 months ago, De Gaulle said that the United States had "placed its force Intact in counter-balance to Soviet world ambitions." He added that the French people knew this guarantee, though indirect, was essential. France must regain her strength so she can "play the role of partner and, if it happens, of ally," the general said.

If she does not, he continued, France will become "in war nothing but an impotent object to be invahed by one or bombarded by another."

Eleven members abstained from voting and four blank ballots were cast. In a brief speech after the vote Qavam said the Russian oil report would be presented in a "private session." Last week Qavam walked out of parliament under a stinging attack by an Azerbaijan deputy who assailed the proposed pact as "the worst agreement in the past 100 years of Iranian history." 1 Best Ways Of Setting Fires Told (Editor's Note: Aware that more than 90 per cent of all Phoenix fires last year were caused by carelessness. The Arizona Republic presents these "simple rules for simple minds" for a growing segment of the population during Fire Prevention Week, which opened yesterday.) By GENE MrLAIN Got money to burn? Dying for a fire? Then here's some red hot tips: 1.

Dump all scrap paper, grass cuttings, dried leaves and the like in the alley, smack against the garage or fence. (Sixteen per cent of all Phoenix fire lovers used that method last year. Saves matches, too, the light usually being pro- vided by a passing pyromaniacal youngster or careless smoker.) 2. Toss oily rags under the drainboard or in the closet. (Another popular method of fire-conscious Phoenicians.

It's surprising what beautiful blazes such rags can develop without any help.) 3. Use nothing but frayed electric extension cords and similar wiring. (You'll be shocked if you don't get a prompt fire from this.) 4. Keep matches handy for Jun ior. (You probably figure he'll set the world afire, anyway.) 5.

Dump old papers and trash in the alley, light it and leave. (If nothing else, it's guaran teed to burn the neighbors up.) (Continued On Page 3, Col. 1) Hit-And-Run Victim Dies MESA, Oct. 5 Rudolph W.
