Molotov's Three Proposals

Moscow, Mar. 13. Saying that he could "demonstrate Allied unity" by reading a list of five high ranking former Nazis holding prominent positions in the Soviet zone of Germany, Mr. Bevin, the Bri- tish Foreign Secretary, replied to charges by M. Molotov that the British zone maintained many high ranking former Nazis in responsi- ble public and semi-public positions. Mr. Bevin said his liye names were taken at ran- dom from-a-list of about 30 or 40__handed to him just as M. Molotov's had been. Mr. Bevin added, smilingly, he thought this was the sort of thing the Ministers should hand round to each other.

Rejects
London, Mar. 13. The Bulgarian Government has now sent a reply, described in official quarters in London as "thoroughly unsatisfactory," to last week's protest by the British Diplomatic Mission in Sofia against the discourteous conduct of the Bulgarian authorities and militia over the call- ing in of Bulgarian currency.
Six other missions in Sofia also protested to the Bulgarian Foreign Office at the same time as the British. The terms of the Bulgarian reply have not been disclosed in London, but it is assumed that the reply constitutes a rejection of the British, complaints.

Anzio Was An Epic Of Bravery
Marburg, Mar. 14.
Field Marshal Albért Kesselring, who commanded German forces in Italy at the time of the Anglo-American invasion of Anzio in January, 1944, said in an interview that this battle "was the enemy's epic of bravery.”
He expressed the opinion that had the Allies not pitted their divisions in the Mediterranean, as at Anzio-Nettuno, they "would not have won a victory in the West.' The former German comman, Anzio-Nettuno, you would not dor, who is now on triat in a have won a victory in the West. British war
