Propaganda Plans Wrecked By Paris Talks

BERLIN. May 29 — (AP) - A speaker at the Communist-led Eastern German People's Congress asserted today that "only the So- viet Union's love of peace" has prevented the Berlin railway strike from flaring into a third world war.

Dr. Otto Nuschke, chairman of the Soviet-licensed Christian Dem- ocratic Party in Eastern Germany, charged that the recent action of Brig-Gen. Frank L. Howiey of the United States in expelling Soviet- controlied railway police from Am- erican-sector yards “could have set the whole machinery oi the Atlantic Pact in motion."

“We should be grateful to the Soviet Union for its love of peace and restraint in the face of this provocation." Nuschke said.

Russia's new policy of “back to Potsdam," »- four-power rule of Germany-as outlined at Paris by Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vish1n- sky of Russia, has scuttled the Communists‘ nationalistic propa- ganda and cast gloom on the Peo-

‘Commanding Lead Shown

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld., May 29——(CP) —'!‘he Liberals’ commanding lead in partial returns from Newfound- land's election Friday gave them assurance tonight they will form the first Provincial Government in thc island.

When the count paused for Sun- day the score was: 11 Liberals, one Progressive Conservative and two Liberals leading in the six other seats heard from. Counting will re- sume tomorrow at 9 a.m. N.D.T. (8.30 a.m, A.D.T.)

In a brief talk over the CBC Newfoundland network late Satur- day nlght, Liberal leader Joseph Smaliwood said "this has been a very, very remarkable victory.” He said later the first Legislature will meet June 24.

Harry Mews, Progressive Conser- vative leader, declined comment on the trend of the voting. Asked re- peatedly by reporters for a state- ment, he parried all questions jok- ingly.

Mr. Mews, who left his insurance company desk to campaign for the election, invited reporters to come around and talk over insurance policies with him some time.

Meanwhile Newfoundland news- papers and radio stations conceded

it was a Liberal victory as did some Progressive Conservative party officials.

When Mr. Smallwood spoke on the CBC network 11 Liberals had been elected and two others were leading in the dual riding of St. John's East.

Won Personal Victory

Mr. Smallwood won personal vic- tory in Bonavlsta North with an overwhelming, maJority-ahout lev- eri to one at last count-over his Progressive Conservative oppon- ent, J. M. Way.

Mr. Mews was trailing Oliver Vardy, Liberal, by 383 votes in the dual riding of St. John's West with less than half the ballots counted.

The Progressive Conservatives had elected one candidate and were leading in the two-member ridings of Si. John's West and Harbor Main-Bell Island.

Results were final tonight for 11 of the 24 districts which chose 27 members for Newfoundland's first Provincial Legislature. The elec- tion in Labrador, which will name the 28th. member, has been defer- red to July 25.
