City Pondering N.H. Truck Issue Permission has just been received at the offices of Political Research Project, New York, to make public the text of the note submitted to President Eisen-bower in Geneva on behalf of the Russian people by NTS (National Alliance of Russian Solidarists), the Russian Liberation Movement. 'Alien Despotism' 'In view of the Senate Resolution of July 14 regarding the rights of 'the peoples who have been subjected to the captivity of alien and in view of the fact that the Russian people regard Communism as an 'alien despotism' of which they are the first captives, the memorandum submitted on their, behalf at Geneva takes on special significance," declared Eugene Lyons and V. N. Rudin, co-directors of Political Reseal' Ch.

Pointing out that "The Russian people, through their rising resistance tb the Communist regime, are the very ones who are putting upon it the pressure which enables the Western Powers to demand concessions from the Communist rulers of Russia," the memorandum "expresses the hope" that the heads of the Western Powers "within the bounds of their negotiations with the Communist rulers of Russia, will insistently raise before them the question of guaranteeing to the citizens of Russia the civil liberties provided by the United Nations Charter, providing them with the opportunity to fight for their rights by means of a legal opposition to the Communist Government. Charge UN Violation 'Such a demand' to the Soviet Government cannot be regarded as interference with internal affairs of Russia, because its basis is the violation by the Soviet Government of its obligations as a member of the United Nations." The memorandum cites Section 1, Article 1, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the U. N. Charter providing the right of peoples to choose their own form of government. Conditions in Russia of "concealed but steadily mounting civil war between the people of Russia and the Communist regime" are outlined, including the instability of the 'present Communist leadership and the spiritual and ideological resistance of the population as wen as the "sober reaction" to internal policy.

Poulson said in the: request his inquiry into the perplexing collection and disposal situation turned up "areas of confict" that indicate "there are weaknesses In the law that may require action by the stale legislature." The mayor suggested that for the "purpose of objectivity" the committee members should be selected from outside the Los Angeles area. Said Poulson: Pleased to Learn ''t am very pleased to learn that a senate interim will make an investigation of the rubbis problem in the area. I believe that this Inquiry will uncover a great amount of information that the people of Southern California should have and that It will be helpful in adopting new state legislation in the public interests." Poulson said he made the request for the inquiry last Friday in a lean to Lincoln. He wrote: "Herein I am requesting that you assign to an appropriate Interim committee or subcommittee an investigation into all problems surrounding the question of collection and or the disposal of refuse. Hold Inquiry "I have conducted an Inquiry into this affair by virtue of my charter authority.

As a result of this inquiry we find that areas of conflict have occurred in an attempt to bring about a solution to this problem that indicates that there are weaknesses in the law that may require action by the state legislature. 'It is suggested that for the purpose of objectivity, the personnel of the committee be selected from outside this area. "Prompt action In this matter will be greatly appreciate. by the millions of citizens whose health and welfare are vitally involved." Lincoln and Poulson were reported to have conferred privately last week in Oakland on the investigation. Date of the first hearing was not known.

A proposed poll to sound out the feelings of Los Angeles firemen on segregation was turned down in a heated session before the fire commission. More than 160 firemen attended the meeting yesterday during which charges of 'lying" about the "real" feelings of firemen on segregation were thrown back and forth between the commission, firemen and Chief John H. Alderson.

The fireworks stemmed from a statement made last week by Commissioner Roy Sheldon who said about 2000 of the fire department's 2500 men favor desegregation. Alderson Answers In answer to Sheldon's statement, Alderson presented a letter to the commission from Rcbert A. Hatfield, president of the fire department's fact-finding committee which has opposed integration. Hatfield suggested the poll of firemen be taken and stated in the letter: "It is apparent that if Commissioner Sheldon was quoted correctly he does not know the true feeling of an overall majority of the members of the fire department." Alderson told the commission he favored such a poll. He added that Commission president G.

William Shea had also indicated he favored such a poll. Shea took exception to the chief's suggestion and said he had never recommended a poll. Sheldon Interrupted to say: "I've talked to quite a number of firemen and I feel that in their hearts they are not nearly as bitterly opposed as they think they are." A wave of laughter burst from the firemen in the audience. When Dr. Adenauer visits Moscow in the next month or two he will be told that it is obvious that the big three powers can do nothing for his dream of German unification.

He will be told that the Soviet Union holds the key and that therefore he will be well advised to work more 'closely with the Russians and their government of Eastern Germany. Nothing has happened at the Geneva meetings so far, Washington officials said, to alter the American belief that achievement of German unity will be anything but a long drawn out, torturous affair, resembling the frustrating negotiations that led up to the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Austrian Example It Is recalled here that it required 370-odd meetings at various levels to execute a satisfactory Austrian treaty. The treaty came into being only when the Russians gave the signal and indicated they were ready to do business. Swift agreement on German unification would certainly please the Vnitod States Government but at the same time it would be content if unity could be achieved in one, two or three years.

There is a feeling here that the Russians may not be too successful with Dr. Adenauer in Moscow because the estimate is that the Chancellor has the support of the majority of the German people in his contention that his people would never accept the role of a fifth-rate power, the role Moscow seems to be preparing for them. Seeking Prestige On the positive side, Russia appears to be seeking at Geneva a sort of social and moral equality with other nations of the world, Informed diplomats said here. The Russians desire to prove that they can talk and laugh with any nation of the West. They seek to prove that their country is not representative of a strange, Isolated civilization.

They seek to show that they are willing to conform with accepted normal standards of world civilization. It is suggested in Washington that plans thus far put forward by the Russians at Geneva were projected with tongue in cheek, that it Favor Five For Miss Universe Develop Weapon In L.A. River Bug War The city's Traffic Commission today is pondering the problem of truck traffic through the North llollywood business district after some 100 Valleyites appeared at a hearing on a plan to divert the heavy trucks from Lankershim boulevard by utilizing a portion of Vineland avenue as an alternate. Commissioner Arthur Lutz said there would be no immediate decision and that testimony taken At yesterday's hearing would be studied for two or three weeks before a recommendation is Many protests to the proposed diversion of trucks to Vineland under the plan submitted by Traffic Manager Lloyd Breit July 7, were voiced. The Braff plan was submitted as an alternate to another submitted previously by the North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Antelope Valley Pushes Plan For Regional Park INSPECTION Most Favor Sheldon said he believed most of the firemen were in favor of complete integration. In his report on Integration plans July 5, Alderson referred to Studio City Company 78 and mentioned he had received a letter pointing out there was "art undercurrent of dissatisfaction" about integration plans. Shea told the chief that three fire commissioners went to the San Fernando Valley station and found "no dissatisfaction and integration working." A shout of "somebody's lying" was heard from the audience.

When asked to identify himself, the shouter said he was fireman Edward G. Chi Isom Shea asked what he meant by his remark. Chilson replied: "I f( el this should be worked out or there will be a race riot." Asks Opinion Shea answered: "You mean to say station 78 is an example of why you think work?" The fireman answered: "With this present attitude, yes." Pressed by Shea, Chilson admitted he had nothing except hearsay to back up his claim. Visibly angered, Shea turned to Alderson and asked, "Is this conduct becoming a fireman?" Alderson answered: "There Is a very tense situation in the fire department. The men are inclined to make statements.

If Sheldon was qu-oted correctly, It has created a tense situation." ittri tits, Mr. and IIrs.
