In ; Eastern Ports
Ey the Associated Press,

BOSTON. Nov. 2O.-The Atlantic
Fishermen's Union, AFL, today
called a strike, Of Boston, New York
and New Bedford fishermen which,
Business Agent Austin Powers said
would affect approximately 1000
men and tie up about 120 boats in
the three ports within the next six
days.
The union decided to call the
strike after industry and Govern
ment officials failed to reach an
agreement on price ceilings in a
day-long conference in Washington
yesterday.
Mr.. Powers said comparatively few
men and boats would be affected i'm
mediately as fleets in the three ports
were at sea, but there were some
men and some boats in port today.
They ceased operations as soon as
the strike was called
Consumers we're not expected to
feel the effects Immediately as the
three fleets should bring in millions
of pounds of fresh fish and there
was fair quantity in storage.
The Boston feet includes about
so comparatively large boats and
300 men, the New Bedford fleet
about rs smaller boats and 800 men
and the New York fleet 300 men
and about 30 boats.
Crews of the various boats will
cease operations Immediately upon
arrival in port. Mr. Powers said
Mr. Powers said that the mackerel
fleet was not affected as the ceiling
price on that variety was satisfac-
tory. The Gloucester fleet, he add

On Lebanese Is Clear
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull yesterday
said that American policy regard
ing the dispute at Beirut between
the French and the Lebanese has
been made very clear.
Asked at his press conference
about reports that he had denied
the American Government had pro-
tested to the French over their re-
cent action in Beirut, Mr.. Hull said
that if the facts were known no one
would pretend that the American
position had not been made clear
according to American policy.
This policy, he indicated, is based
upon a hope that the French and
the Lebanese will come to an
agreement allowing Lebanon full in
dependence.
Mr.. Hull said that the American
diplomatic agent and consul gen.
eral at Beirut, George Wadsworth
had made the American position
clear.
Mr.. Wadsworth was sent to Beirut
IN l94l. An American declaration
at that time expressed the hope that
the Lebanese would achieve inde-

ing.
Bruce was arrested Monday, but
was not arraigned until yesterday.
Police said the delay was due to the
inability Of the arresting oficer to
get in touch with OPA oh1cials to
determine the nature OF the charges
to be filed.
1t was said at the department
today that only one case has come
to notice since March in which the
court admitted a confession obtained
prior to arraignment OF the de-
fendant. In Federal Court for the
Eastern District of Washington,
Justice Lewis B. Schwellenbach ad-
mitted a statement made by a theft
defendant who was arraigned within
two hours after his arrest by the
Federal Bureau OF Investigation on
charges of stealing accessories At the
Spokane Air Depot. 1t was conced-
ed, however, that there might have
been other cases in which the courts
had admitted confessions obtained
before the prisoners formally we're
charged.
Selective Service Case.
On the contrary, there was a Sc
lective service case In New York in
which the court ruled out confess
sion obtained by FBI agents who
encountered delay in arraigning
their prisoner because United
States commissioner was out to
lunch. As 1t happened, the de-
fendant was convicted on the
strength Of other evidence.
The principal reverse suffered by
the Government, perhaps, came in
the Chicago treason case, when the
conviction Of three men and their
wives-relatives and friends of Her
bert Haupt, one of the executed
Nazi aboteurs-was set aside by the
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
The men got death sentences and
the women termseon the basis Of IA
statements introduced in evidence.
The accused had been held for "sev-
eral weeks" prior to arraignment.

said the statements were inadmis-
sible.
Six Still Being Held.
The six defendants, who include
Hans Max Haupt and his wife, par
ents OF Herbert Haupt, still are be-
ing held as the Government tries
to decide what the next move will be.
In another development, 1t was
disclosed that widespread complaints
by members of the bar, had brought
about the elimination of the Nc
Nabb rule from the preliminary
draft Of rules Of criminal procedure
prepared by the Advisory Committee

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. 90
For the first time since its meetings
began here two weeks ago, the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation conference today started
Issuing regular written statements
setting forth proposals under con-
sideration.
Before the idea of issuing state
ments to the public was adopted yes
terday, spokesman who asked
anonymity stated fatty that Russian
Ambassador Andrei Gromyko had
been defeated in a move not only to
refrain from issuing statements but
also to ban newspapermen from the
sessions.
Two hours later, however. a
Russian delegate, Eugene S. Sergeev,
told press representatives that AM
bassador Gromyko, in Washington,
had authorized him to say He had
never made any such suggestion or
anything like it."
Acheson Opposes Move.
The UNRRA spokesman said AM
bassador Gromyko objected to ad-
mittance of the press on the ground
some matters under discussion were
so delicate that publication might
cause serious misunderstanding. AS
an alternative, the spokesman said.
Ambassador Gromyko proposed that
a digest of the proceedings be made
public at the end of the sessions.
Three delegates-Dean Acheson of
the United States, John j. Llewellin
OF England and Jan Masaryk of
Observation-Disclosures the opposition
to any ban on the press.
They held that civilian popula-
tions Of the United Nations should
get as much information as possible
while the meetings went on to pre-
vent surprises" at the end.
Still disturbing the conference to-
day was controversy as to how
UNRRA will get supplies for distri-
button among nations liberated from
Axis control.
Funneling Favored.
Director General Herbert Lehman
asked that he be permitted to make
final decisions on the amount each
nation be allowed, but Mr.. Llewellin
argued UNRRA's needs should be
funneled through the Anglo-Amer-
ican combined boards now engaged
in finding and directing the flow of
foods ard raw materials for both
civilian and military use. The
United States delegation was re-
ported to favor Mr.. Llewellin's views
American delegates explained the
Anglo American boards want to
maintain quick access to all existing
world surpluses in case of any sud-
den military reverse.
Still another viewpoint was urged
by delegates from the Netherlands
and other occupied nations with
foreign exchange balances abroad.
They want to be free to purchase
supplies on their own account as
soon as they are liberated, but
Anglo American delegates expressed
fear such competition for existing
goods might cause a rapid rise in
world prices.
