Evening star., 1944-05-10
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,

II Germany is defeated this year,
the United States would need onlv
half of its present Army ground
forces and war workers to finish the
war against Japan, DR.. Harold G
Moulton, president of the Brookings
Institution, told the Senate Postwar
Committee today.
DR.. Moulton predicted, however,
that demobilizat ton will be very
gradual and extended over a period
OF two and one-half years. He
based his prediction on several as
sumptions, including these:
That the war in Europe will end
by December, the Pacific war by the
end of 1945, and that demobilization
OF the armed services cannot exceed
100000 a month at the peak, and
will average considerably less.
Discussing the employment out
look after the war, DR.. Moulton
placed the present total labor force,
including the II 100000 in the armed
forces, at 6l500,0O0 persons. and
estimated that the postwar civilian
labor force would be about $1,000, 600
This estimate was based on the
assumption that the armed services
for few years after the war will
remain as high as 100000 men and
that the bulge in employment of
women, old men and youth will be

President Requests
Isl Billions More
For Army Next Year
33-BiIIion Corryover
From Current Funds
Also to Be Available
By the Associated Press.

Ds tbt ASSOC1abe0 FfeSS.
President Roosevelt asked Con-
gress today for new appropria-
tions for the Army totaling SIS
1852, 700, which would bring
the total contemplated expendi-
lures for military purposes up to
$40 900, 900 900 for the next fiscal
year.
The estimates" a White House
statement said, contemplate the
maintenance and operation of an
Army of 100000 officers, men and
women on the offensive in a global
war through June 80, 1945."
In addition to the $4,000 900 900
in new appropriations, the state
ment explained, there will be avail
able in the fiscal year starting July
l, $33, GOT 1853 300 of unobligated bal
ances from current appropriations
Comparison of Figures.
The $4,000 100000 outlay for the
next fiscal period compares with a
preliminary budget estimate, sub
mitted to Congress last January, of
S52,3OO 1000, and with a $71 ,5O0,-
100000 program approved by Con-
gress for the present fiscal year.
The White House said the large
carryover of 1914 funds had been
made possible primarily by a reduc-
ton in the projected strength of the
Army, reduction in shipping losses
and a substantial reduction" in
unit costs of war items because of
volume production.
The new budget figure provides
for 100000 members of the WACS.
more than treble the number now
on the rolls.
In general, the estimates will sup
ply funds needed for all deliveries
of munitions and equipment, except
aircraft, through December 81. 1945.
For aircraft, aircraft parts and Gov
ernment furnished equipment. the
White House said, the new budget
will finance requirements to June
30, 1916.
Billion for Lease-Lend.
Included in the estimates is some
S. 900 100000 for military lease lend
and s562,550 900 for relief of civilians
in occupied or liberated countries.
The biggest single item for anv
branch of the Army included in the
program is 12,6l0,0 ,0O0,0 900 for the Air
Force. The Ordnance Department
is listed for $8.599, 900 900.
Mr.. Roosevelt told Congress it
would take $12,69O,00O 900 for paw
travel and allowances for the Army

eliminated, and replaced by normal
growth"
But the total number of jobs re-
CURED for satisfactory employment
would be considerably less than ST.
000,000' the witness continued,
adding that the number normally
out of work in good times would be
at least 100000. This 5000 900
figure makes allowance for unem-
ployables, prolonged sickness, normal
shifting from job to job and seasonal
fluctuations.
This led DR.. Moulton to the con-
clusion that the average number
employed in boom times would be
about 100000 or an increase of
100000 over 1910.
If demobilization is spread over
two and half years, the major
unemployment problem will be con-
fined chiefly to war centerS, such
as those producing aircraft and
shipping, and probably will not be
serious until after hostilities have
ceased in the Pacific, DR.. Moulton
said.
DR.. Moulton's use of the words
Army ground forces" in estimating
the reduction possible after Ger
many is beaten was taken to mean
he does not forsee any curtailment
of the Navy or Air Force during the
remaining Pacific fighting.

DENISON, Iowa, May 10.-A four
engine bomber from the Sioux City
IoWa) Army Air Base few over sec
tionS of two States for four hours
with no one aboard before crashing
on the side of a ravine miles

Advice on Planning Lives;

Ey the Associated Press.

'''N %hSToNiN@S$e
Abolition of the Farm Sc
curity Administration was rec
commended by a special House
committee today in a report
which accused the agency of
controlling its clients ito the ex-
tent of telling the borrower how
to raise his children" and how
to plan his home life"
The committee said the FSA has
not been wisely administered and
has been used as an experiment sta
ton of n-American ideas and
economic and social theories of little
or questionable value"
The committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Cooley, Democrat, of North
Carolina, emphasized that its criti-
cism applied to the administration
of Rexford Guy Tugwell, now gov
ernor of Puerto Rico, and C. B.
Baldwin.
Hancock Commended.
1t commended the recently-a
pointed administrator, Frank Han
cock, for having made substantial
and worthwhile changes in both
policies and personnel"
Nevertheless, it called for abolition
of the FSA and regional agricul-
tural credit corporations, discon-
tinuance of the emergency crop and
feed loan Offices, liquidation of FSA's
resettlement and rural rehabilita-
ton project and transfer of the
Federal aid to low-income farmers
program to the Farmers Home Corp.
Two Regimes Criticized.
The committee said its investiga-
ton showed that beginning with the
administration of Mr.. Tugwell and
continuing through the Baldwin
regime, the FSA financed Com
muniStic reSettlement projects where
the families could never own homes
and was supervising its bor-
roWers to the extent of telling the
borrowers how to raise children.
how to plan his home life and, it is
strongly suspected in some cases,
how to vote"
The FSA's rural rehabilita ton
loan program was commended by
the committee. which said it has
actually relieved distress and hu-
man suffering in many stricken
agricultural areas" despite abuses
in administration. The tenant pur-
chase program, it added, also has
been operating efficiently" and
should be continued and expanded
under the Farmers Home Corp.

Two strong japanese columns

Lawyer Plans to Toke
Contempt Verdict
To Appeals Court
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Trial of 20 persons charged
with Sedition was resumed be-
fore Chief Justice Edward c.
Eicher in District Court today,
half an hour after James j.
Laughlin, defense attorney in
the case, was found guilty by
Justice Jennings Bailey of con-
tempt of court during the trial.
He was fined $3.50.
Mr.. Laughlin, who plans to appeal
the contempt decision to the Court
of Appeals, remains as counsel for
two of the alleged seditionists, Ed
ward James Smythe and Robert
Noble. Justice Bailey gave the at
torney the rest of the day to furnish
an appeal bond, which will stay the
fine until the appeal is decided.
Evidence Centers on Affidavit.
1t was Mr.. Laughlin's chargs
against Justice Eicher that furnished
most of the Governments ammuni-
ton in the contempt proceeding. In
an affidavit of bias and prejudice
which Noble signed and Mr.. Laugh
lin certified and filed Sin good
faith" Justice Eicher was alleged to
have accepted appointment to the
District bench under pressure OF
President Roosevelt, who was said
to have picked the judge to preside
at the sedition trial, with promise of
promotion to a higher judgeship II
the defendants were convicted.
AS the brief proceeding in Justice
Bailey's courtroom concluded, news
papermen were handed typed copies
of a statement by the National
Lawyers Guild describing the con-
tempt conviction as proof that de-
mocracy can defend itself"
The statement, drafted by Martin
Pepper, secretary, said that since in
ception of the trial defense attorneys
have engaged in deliberate pro-
gram of systematic obstruction and
confusion in order to prevent or de-
lay the determination of the issues
involved in the trial so vital to the
security of the Nation at war"
There was no discussion of the
contempt proceeding as los pros
pective jurors were brought in and
the big trial resumed. The trial
had been in recess since May be-
cause of the contempt hearing.

10.-Allied forces are operating
on three sides of Mogaung in
Northern Burma, Admiral Lord
Louis Mountbatten's headquar-

today, indicating a determined
Chinese British American drive
was in full swing to reopen a

forces, presumably Chindits, are

Sharp blows also have been dealt
the enemy in the vicinity of Mawlu

where the air-borne Chindits have
been operating since March against
the Mandalay- -Myitkyina Railway.
Jap Attacks RepuIsed.
Fitting into the picture were 1t
Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell's American
Chinese forces in the Mogaung
Valley and native Burmese beating
down japanese attacks in the Fort
Hertz Valley in their double -barreled
push to the south against Mogaung
and Myitkyina.
These latter forces are closing in
on the Japanese 18th Division, which
already is reported becoming dis
organized.
Gen. Stilwell's forces, supported
by tanks and artillery, have been
attacking strong Japanese positions
east of the main Mogaung Valley
road and south of the Hwelon River,
headquarters said.
Meanwhile, in Northeastern In
dia, fighting continued yesterday
in the Kohima area, where the
enemy still is present in strength,
the communique said. About IS
miles south of Kohima, the bulle-
tin added, the japanese invaders
launched two attacks along the
Palel road toward the Imphal
Plain, but were repulsed each time.
Allied Aircraft Active.
Allied aircraft were reported ac-
tive over all battlefronts, blasting
enemy troop concentrations at
NamkWin southwest of Mopaunp

Trial Starts From Scratch.
The trial, starting from scratch
again after previous attempts to
get jury had failed and the whole
venire was excused at the end of
the last court term, continued with
quiet and orderliness, in marked
contrast to the previous proceed
ings. While various motions, all
affecting the method of impanel-
ing a jury, were urged by defense
counsel, there was none of the ST.
multaneous talking and constant
disorder that brought the trial al
most to an impaSse the last week
in April.
In an oral decision in the con-
tempt case, Justice Bailey agreed
with the prosecution that several
motions for defense witnesses, filed
after Justice Eicher had announced
that such subpoenas would not be
considered until two weeks before
the Government was ready to close
its case. were not urged in good
faith, but to obtain publicity and

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
Naples, May 10.-Still pursuing
withdrawing German forces, 9th
Army troops have thrust wedge
deep into enemy territory along
Italy's mountainous backbone,
and at last report were driving
directly toward the German base
of Sulmona, it was announced
today.
Front advices indicated there was
little or no opposition, though the
Germans were said to be carrying
out extensive demolitions.
A communique announced Allied
troops had entered the town of
Palena, on the Aventino River 25
miles inland from the Adriatic and
IL miles southeast of Sulmona, and
a subsequent announcement told of
the occupation of the mountain vii
lagos of Fallascoso. 7 miles north
east of Palena, and San Angelo, IL
miles southeast.
High Ground Seized.
The 9Th Army forces also seized
high ground near the hamlet OF
Gamberale, 2 miles northwest of
San Angelo, on the road to Palena
The advances carried the Allied
troops minimum of 9 miles be-
yond previous announced positions
A ful! explana ton of why the
Germans pulled back was not vet
available, but the move apparently
was taken to shorten and straighten
their mountain lines.
/ The Germans, who have broad
cast various propaganda reports of
Allied preparations for a new Often
sive in Italy, appeared to be in
creasing their defenses on the main
5th Army front south of Casino.
While their big guns provided a
covering fire, German working
parties were heard telling trees and
digging in on the west bank of a
river. An enemy patrol was thrown
back in the same area.
Enemy held House Raided.
An Allied patrol with tank sup
port ralded an enemy-held house
west of Clsterna on the Anzio beach,

quarters said six enemy tanks at

were scored on the German vehicles
and one was left afire.
Although bad visibility kept heavy
bombers on the ground for the sec

night renewed attacks on the west
coast ports of Genoa and Iivorno
