Accused By Russian Delegates Rome, Oct. 22 (U.P.). Zhdanor, chief Russian delegate to the conference at which the ninecountry Communist organizations was set up, was quoted today casing the United StateR of establish. ing bases throughout the world and trying to partition Germany, in a "policy of preparation for new adventures." Unita, organ of the Italian Commimist. party, published the text of an speech by Zhdanov to the conference in Poland.

Russia, he said, sought a unified, demilitarized and deinocratic Germany. He, charged the western powers with trying to partition Germany. "The realization of this policy is; proceedng in new conditions created when America broke with the old policy of Roosevelt and passed on to the new policy of preparation for new military adventures" he said. Zhrlanov, Taember of the all-power-i ful Soviet Politburo and one of the ranking socretaries of the Conmunist, party, accused the United States of betraying wartime pledges, trying te isolate Russia, and encouraging imparialists who "are preparing plans for organizing as rapidly as possible a preventative war against the U.S. S.

He also charged that the States was using the Marshall. plan as a tool to make Europe subservient tc American imperialism. Describing Russia as the "directing force and spirit of the military crushdrg of Germany and Japan," Zhdanov said the United States "took, part only in the last phase of the war, when the outcome already was decided." DEMOCRATS ANSWER CHARGES BY (Continued From Page One.) vided the Republicans are voted into office, Judge Laird said, "Why didn't Kell when he county sioner have the juvenile home built at George's Station? When I attempted to arrange with him to go on inspection trips to view modern juvenile homes in different sections wouldn't go. He put me off. He was always too busy." Judge Laird also defended the tax records which Kell attacked and said that the only taxes charged against the people of Westmoreland county are the ones returned by the tax collectors.

County Controller Len Keck told the meeting that the statements made in county newspapers yesterday by Kell "Are not the truth." "The record hurts," Keck said, adding that when the Democrats took office in 1936 there was only $112,000 In the treasury to run the county government from January 1 to July 1 and that it was necessary to borrow 000 to. meet the payroll and expenses. "All that has been paid back," Keck stated. Keck again- pointed. out that the county government has cut the millage from eight and one half to the present seven mills and he criticized Kell for stating that the rate should now.

be five mills. How can a man who has not been in the court house since 1941 tell you. how he can operate on a five-mill tax. "If he can he'is a miracle man," Keck added, also defending the present a ye cost and delinquent tax system and declaring that within five minutes any delinquent tax payer can be adrised of what amount he owes.

FOREST FIRE CHECKED, DAMAGE NEAR MILLION (Continued from Page 1) bunkport, and it was believed the town would be saved from further damage unless the wind should shift again and attain higher velocity. National Guardsmen, ordered out by Hildreth, patrolled the devastated area, in which some looting of homes left by farmers and townsfolk had been reported earlier. Kennebunkport, Oct. -A forest fire raging at the whim of a changing wind ate into the streets of this town of 2,000 today, destroying 200 homes, two hotels and a grade school. One man was dead.

Three were missing. The advance, of the fire through Kennebunkport was checked temporarily. Gov. Horace A. Hildreth flew to take command of the fire units from three states fighting the flames that already have caused damage estimated unofficially at $500,000.

The Governor ordered out the National Guardto police the devastated area. Police reported vandals were looting homes evacuated -by farmers I and townsfolk. Fire Chief John F. Eldridge, who collapsed after 24 hours of firefighting, said the fate of the town depended upon the wind direction. "If the wind blows toward the sea, we'll be all right," he said.

"If it blows in toward the town we'll be, right back where we Some 1,000 men dug in along School Street, -about a half-mile from the heart of the town, in an attempt to hold the fire at that line. "That will be our main line of detense," Road Commissioner Clifford Maling said. "We have to hold 1 it there. If it jumps School Street the rest of the town will go." Roads clogged with farmers and townspeople fleeing ahead of the fire that roared through the drought parched forests around this resort community. Kenneth Roberts, author of "Northwest Passage" and other historical novels, said that from the porch of his Kennebunkport home "the entire horizon was red with roaring "There are caravans of people fleeing with their clothes and household goods," Roberts reported.

"My house is on the far side of Kennebunkport and so far hasn't been threatened by the flames, but we have our hose out and we're ready to fight the fire if we have to. "The fire is almost impossible to get at because it is moving through the upper branches of the trees. Als much as 10 minutes behind the treetop flames is another slower -moving ground fire. And both are going like Hell." Some 500 persons were evacuated and a Red Cross relief headquarters was set up at the Narragansett Hotel where 200 persons were being cared for. The flames destroyed the Noonan grade school and two summer hotels in the Cape Porpoise section of Kennebunkport.

One hundred homes and cottages in the town proper, 40 lying farmhouses and 60 summer cottages were leveled. In 24 hours the fire had devastated 27 square miles, leaping back and forth over roads and highways as the wind shifted from east to south.

HAVE DATA ON 79 HOLLYWOOD COMMIES (Continued from Page 1) Indonesia Stand Criticized In Council couraging telegrams to strikers at the plant. McGuinness said he was a member of the executive committee of the Motion Picture Alliance for preservation of American ideals. He said the organization was "designed to combat within our own industry the menace of Communism and, to a degree, Fascism." But, McGuinness added, he had seen no evidence of Fascism in the film capital: He first ran into Communism, he said, when film writers Lawson, Donald Stewart and others tried to take over the Screen 'Writers Guild in 1935. The support given the North American strikers, McGuinness said, was mobilized by the League of American Writers.

Signers of telegrams encouraging the strikers included, he said, Lawson and Stewart. Questioned about Communism in his own studio, McGuinness said: "I don't think it's the whitest place in Hollywood. We have our share of I Communists." As the hearing began, Thomas announced that actor Robert Taylor would not testify until 2 p.m. EST today--an announcement that ed a stir of disappointment among women spectators in the huge caucus room. McGuinness described the organization in Hollywood of the American Peace Mobilization, a national organization which has been called a Communist front.

Among the members, he sald, was Director Herbert Biberman. He said the league, at the time of the Hitler Stalin peace pact, when England and France were at war with Germany, denounced all American efforts to aid the Allies. McGuiness told of what he called: Communist opposition to a pre-Pearl Harbor film called "Tennessee Johnson." He said the Communists did not like the way the character of the late Thaddeus Stevens, Republican leader of the reconstruction days, was portrayed. "Pearl Harbor came along and M-G-M, not wishing to create any dissension or controversy at a time of war, did not exploit the picture," Mo. Guinness said.

McGuinness identified the film's critics, "considered to have Communist leanings," as Screen Writers Ring Lardner, Stewart, Richard Collins, Hy Kraft, and Jules Dassein. He said Alvah Bessie, a writer, was known around Hollywood as a Community party "hatchet man." He said Bessie was a former movie critic for the Community magazine "New Masses." "I would regret that any man would be deprived of his livellhood no matter how. abhorrent his views are to me," McGuinness testifled. But 'he' added that he thought Congress should make the American public aware of a "group of quislings who intend to destroy our government and impose a foreign ideology." Thomas interrupted to say that Communists had wormed their way not only into the movies but also into labor, education, and the government. "So when we investigate Communism in the industry we're not taking rights the pictures or trying to censor them," Thomas said.

"We're just investigating Communism in another field." Lake Success, N. Oct The Philippines Republic attacked both the colonial powers and Russia for their stand on Indonesia today and called on the United Nations Se curity Countil to enlist the Big Five Military Staff Committee in the attempt to halt civil warfare in the Dutch Indies. Gen. Carios P. Romulo, chief of the UN delegation, told the council that the nillitary staff group might be able to work out a military truce between Dutch and Indonesian forces and thereby pave the way for a long-range settlement of Indonesian trouble.

Romulo accused the Security Counoil's on-the-spot.
