the armed forces, he said, were lured
to Beekman's by enemy agents.
Judge Leibowitz interrupted Mr..
O'Dwyer yesterday to say that "he
(Beekman) better had tell every
thing he knows about these Nazi
spies and agents 50 we can chop
the heads of such snakes"
The procedure before Judge
Leibowitz was on a motion by Beck
mans lawyer, Harvey j. Strelzin, for
rehearing on the morals charge
conviction on the grounds that
Beekman was tried on espionage
rather than moral grounds.
Mr.. ODwyer told the court that
the statement given by Beekman to

absolutely nothing to justify further

New York Post Asks
Public Investigation
OF Walsh Charges
AssuiIs Senator Clark;
Publisher lndorses
Editors Statement
lx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20-Ted o.
Thackery, editor of the New York
Post, issued the following comment
today on Senator Barkley's state
ment in the Senate on Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Of Massachusetts,:
Senator Barkley made his state
ment before the Senate after a Sc
cret investigation made apparently
at the informal request Of member
of the Senate and las seen fit to
bring to the Senate q report OF an
investigation which the Senate
never ordered and refused to take
public notice Of with a public
hearing.
Against "Secret Trials"
The New York Post does not now
nor has it ever believed in secret
trials or the use Of the Department
Of Justice as a private detective
agency even in behalf of the Sena-
tors and is amazed that the Senate
should base its own verdict on the
word of the man Beekman, the
same man who was not believed by
the Senate when he made the AZ
f1davits which the Post presented
as part OF the evidence that 9 public
hearing should be held to determine
what the facts were in this case.
The Post will have more to say
later about the unfounded and
amazing charges of conspiracy made
by Senator Clark OF Missouri who
must have known he was making
them under the protection of the
official immunity granted to him by
virtue Of the fact that he made
those statements on the floor Of the
Senate, where he could not be held
legally accountable for them.
Seeks the Truth.
The only conspiracy to which the
Post has been party is conspir-
acy 10 arrive st the truth openly
and publicly. The Post has de-
manded and will continue to de-
nand a full public Senate investi-
cation. Senator Barkley and his
colleagues, including Senators Clark,
Wheeler and Nye, have chosen to
render a verdict without letting the
Senate hear the case"
Dorothy s. Backer, publisher Of
the Post, said that Mr. Thackrey's
statement also expressed her view
as publisher.
Morris Ernst, mentioned by Sem
ator Clark as one who should be
called to a Senate investigation,
said:
Our firm acts as general coun-
sci for the New York Post. In that
capacity we were naturally consult
ed with regard to the legal aspects
of the Pacific street affair. AS at
torneys, we, of course, have no
statement to make. The position Of
the Post has been made clear In
Its news and editorial columns"

 NEW COUNTER ATTACKS
Relief Offensive of Soviets Biting Deeper Into
 Enemy Ranks

MOSCOW, Oct 28.-Red Army defenders on the cliff-sided moun- tain road of the Black Sea port of Taupse have turned the tables on the Nazis in the western Cau- casus, as smashing counter assault which forced the Germans to a retreat, was begun several days ago.
 Battlefront dispatches reported that in Stalingrad the German on- slaught, renewed at deadly cost, has gained the invaders two more of the debris filtered streets.
 The main Russian lines still hold northwest of the besieged city
 The Red Army's relief offensive bit menacingly deeper today into the German flank across the sod den steppes.
 Timed with the resurgent Rus sian thrust along the road ap- preaching Taupse through the passes to the northeast, other Rus sian forces struck determinedly into the German guarded positions east of the port of Novorossisk, 80 miles farther up the coast.

Delegate Says Such Move Would Be "Plain
 SuewY" MRS. HERMANN TO
 VISIT WASHINGTON Must Have Good Explana- lion for Exception,
 Says Emerson

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. = An official of the Office of Price Ad- ministration said today that 1t IS reasonable to assume that general rationing will be applied to Alaska.
 But Alaska Delegate Anthony J.. Dimond says that any such plan is just plain screwy."
 Rupert Emerson, head of the Ter ritories Division of the OPA, said that tires, autos and typewriters already are being rationed in AL aska, but that sugar and gas are not. Said Emerson, Tn so far as it is necessary we will apply the national rationing program to AL aska.'
 Would Ration Coffee
 Tt is a reasonable assumption that it will have to be. If coffee is rationed in the remainder Of the nation, there is no reason why it shouldn't be ratloned in Alaska.
 We have reached no flat de- cision. We are studying the ques- tion. Mrs. Mildred Hermann, Ra- tioning Director for the Territory, is enroute to Washington. We will examine the situation here.
 Tt is reasonable to assume that general rationing applies to Alaska if it applies to the rest of the country unless a very good reason is shown as to why Alaska should not be included
 Said Delegate Dimond: Ut would be just plain screwy to apply gen. eral rationing to Alaska.
 T tried to find out, but havS been unable to learn what the OPA intends to do.
 Alaskans Stock Up
 Interior residents of Alaska have to lay away supplies every summer to last the next 12 months. They can't run to the corner grocery store every time they need pound of sugar.
 Tt might be necessary to ra- tion liquor, but the cost of a gen. eral rationing policy for 80,000 to 90,000 people in a Territory the size of Texas would be tremendous and foolish"

 New hits have been scored on two previously damaged cruisers. and torpedoes were put in the hull of previously damaged aircraft carrier.

 The Navy announces that "ene- my troops are active in the Qua dalcanal area, and have succeeded in piercing the lines on the south side of the airfield.
 Army troops threw back the attack to regain their positions. Marine troops are active on the western flank and reported small gains in the heavy fighting"
 Military men emphasized the ex- treme importance of the fighting ashore. The armed forces are de- termined to hold the airfield at all costs.
 Control Sea Lanes
 Loss of the Guadalcanal field would be an irreparable blow as it bears upon both land and sea fighting.
 Planes are operating against the Japanese fleet from the field.
