Took Plane Engines
He Had Rejected
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, April S. Testi-
mony that Army inspectors accepted
Iairplane engines he personally had
rejected came today from former
Wright Aeronautical Corp. engine
test supervisor.
The witness, Robert D. Yankey of
Ann Arbor, Mich, now employed at
Henry Ford's Willow Run bomber
plant, told court-martial trying
three Air Force officers on charges
of neglect and conspiracy that he
had rejected the engines because
of smoky cylinders, oil or fuel leaks,
He testified he asked Mr.. Gun
ter, general foreman of carburetor
and tests at the Lockland (Cincin-
natD plant, for advice on Army ac-
ceptance of the engines and was
told, Keep your hands off of what
the Army passed"

mark factory, testified that he pro-
tested several times to the plant
quality manager about inspection
practices and that parts were given

years training; that his superiors
told him three or four months"
was enough. He said he had had
20 years experience with internal
combustion engines.

Mr.. Christensen said" he asked
for a transfer to the Wright home
plant in Paterson, N. j., because
of his health and after receiving

Postwar Cooperation
OF All Free Nations
Urged by Dewey
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Thomas E.
Dewey said last night that when
peace comes there must be estab-
Gshed a system of international CO.
operation in which free nations,
large and small, "can be secure in
the liberties which shall have been
won at such great sacrifice"
"The fighting forces of the United
Nations are working together and
living together not just as Amer
leans, Britons or Russians-not Just
as Christians and Jews-but as fell
low human beings" he said in an
address at the opening campaign
dinner of the United Jewish Appeal
of Greater New York. "If we can
fight together certainly we can work
and live together in peace.
Must Safeguard Minorities.
zone of the great problems seeking
solution will be the protection of
minorities. The genius and culture
of minority groups must be safe
guarded to their nations and to the
world as a whole. Freedom is meas
ured by the rights and dignity of
the individual. And we have learned
unmistakably out of this war that
no nation can remain free when
great slave populations exist under
relationships elsewhere"
Referring to the White Paper re-
stricting immigration in Palestine,
which went into effect Saturday,
Gov. Dewey said he did not under
estimate "the difficulty of the pres
ent situation, but a way can and
must be found by our government,
working with the British, to bring
to an end the operation of the
White Paper.
"The doors of Palestine must be
opened and opened permanently. !"
Gov. Dewey said some people "fos-
ter racial or religious discord under
the pretense of fighting it. There
are even those who do this for profit
or for political motives.
Hits Rabble- -Rousers.
"Others include the blatant rab-
ble-rousers or worse who seek un-

playing upon racial or religious pref
udice to divide their country in time
of war for financial or political
profit. The Gerald l.. K. Smiths
and their ilk must not for one mo-
ment be permitted to pollute the
stream of American life"
Gov. Dewey's reference to Mr.
Smith, organizer and director of
America First, came two weeks after
Wendell L. Willkie, in one of his
addresses in Wisconsin in his cam
paign for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination, declared that any
candidate who did not repudiate
America First and Gerald L. K.
Smith cannot possibly be elected
President"
Gov. Dewey, mentioned as the pos
sible Republican nominee, has said
he will not become a candidate for
the nomination.
