ANzIO BEACHHEAD, Italy, Feb

established that the bombing of one
Red Cross field hospital February
and the shelling of another Febru-
ary 10, in which 80 persons were
killed, were not deliberate.

On the basis of facts known at the
time, there seemed no room fol-
doubt that German fighter -bombers
dive-bombed the concentration o1
tents situated far from any military
objective and plainly marked with
Red Cross insignia.
Machine-gun bullets from an
Allied plane also well in the hospital

that the tents had been strafed

Six shells, two of them air bursts,

The only question, he said, is how
far RECOMMENDATION should go.
Senator Austin replied that it
seems to make a difference to you"
whether compulsion is by the edict
of one man rather than by an act
of Congress.
Austin Explains Bill.
The difference is a man is not
compelled to work, Mr.. Green re-
sponded.
This prompted Senator Austin to
declare there isn't thing in S666
(Austin- Wadsworth Bid to compel
man to work"
Declaring there is a widespread
misconception on this point, the
Senator explained that his bill
would operate only in critical areas
that the President first would call
for volunteers; that if it became
necessary to call some workers
through selective service they would
have three chaYces to appeal on the
ground of hardship.
If the worker still felt 1t would
be hardship to answer the call
Senator Austin said he would be

Jewish-Arab Issue
Debated. in House
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Congress was warned by one wit.
ness yesterday that creation of 6
Jewish state in Palestine would dis.
rupt Allied relations with the Arabs
but another declared that the Jewish
people had made a good contribu.
ton in this war, while the Arabs hac
done next to nothing" for the
United Nations.
The statements were made durinf
hearing before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee on a resolution
urging continuation Of Jewish i'm.
migration into Palestine so it MAY
eventually be reconstructed as 9
Jewish commonwealth.
DR.. Phillip K. Hitti of Princeton
University, a native of Lebanon
told the committee that the German
propaganda machine would capital
ize on the resolution as another
sample Of Anglo-American diplo-
macy" threatening usurpation of the
Arabs rights. He added:
will the people of the United
States be willing to send their Navy
to protect a Jewish commonwealth
If 1t is established"
DR.. Stephen S. Wise, representing
the Zionist Organization of America
said the Arabs had played an insig
nif1cant part in the liberation OF
Palestine from Turkish control dur
Ing the World War and that "the
Arabs have done next to nothing for
the United Nations in this crisis"
On the other hand, )" he continued,

Stehinius Denies
Tighter Censorship
On Political News
(From Yesterdays Late Editions. }

(From Yesterdays Late Editions.)
By the Associated Press.
The State Department reaf1lrmed
today an American policy against
political censorship between coun-
tries, applying 1t specifically to re-
ports that the British had increased
their control over outgoing political
news.
Recent reports from London said
that the British Foreign Offlce had
assigned two officials to censorship
work in line with a general tight
ening-up backed by the State De-
partment.
Undersecretary of State Stettinius,
asked whether the department had
supported such action, replied that
it had not. He said the American
policy with respect to political CEN
sorship was set forth in November
1912, In letter which Secretary of
State Hull sent to Byron Price, di-
rector OF censorship.
Mr.. Hull wrote that the Axis
might be able to make propaganda
Of criticism Of one ally in the press
OF another, and he also declared
that such criticism might have an
irritating effect in the country criti-
cized. But, he said, the long range
interests of good international rela-
tions are best served by a free ex-
change of information between
friendly nations.
Mr.. Price replied that he was COM
pletely in accord with Mr.. Hull's
views and that "an exchange OF
criticism will be beneficial rather
than damaging in the long run"
About the same time the Secre.
tary sent telegram to Ambassador
John Winant in London telling him
to advise the British Of Mr.. Hull's
belief that fundamentally the long
range interests of internationa.
friendship are best served by per-
mitting the people of any country
to know what people In friendly
countries are thinking and saying
about them. however unpleasant
some of those opinions may be-"
That, said Mr.. Stettinius, Is still
the American policy.

Col. Mccormick Saws
Communists Control
U. ). Government
Ey the Associated Press.

PADUCAH, KY, Feb. 16.-Col
Robert R. Mccormick, Chicago
Tribune publisher, declared in an
address here last night that "al-
though there arc not more than
100000 Communists in the United
States our Government is domi-
mated by this group.
They do so because there are
some 100000 of them in New York
State who hold the balance of pow
er between the Republican and
Democratic parties" he said "Un-
less they vote with the Democrats
no Democrat can be elected, and
unless the Democrats accept their
dictation they will not vote for the
Democratic candidates. Bear in
mind that New York State has the
largest vote in the electoral college.
These Communists and their
abettors not only dominate the
Democratic party but are actively
trying to control the Republican Ma
tional Convention as the New Deal
did in 1910. AS long ago as 1886 the
Chicago Tribune exposed this Com
munist-Democratic alliance, but the
exposure was vigorously contradict
ed by all of those who profited by
the New Deal.
Now, in its issue of January "a,
the near Communist publication,
the New Republic, frankly pro-
claims it."
Lashing out at Americas failure
to reinforce the Philippines before
Japan captured the islands, Col.
Mccormick asserted that the fact
is above contradiction that troops
had not been sent to the Pacific
in numbers to hold the Philippines
and have not been sent in sufficient
numbers to recapture them and free
American prisoners suffering untold
tortures in Japanese prison camps,
because the Communists wanted
them sent elsewhere.

sands of American boys hang in the
balance.
But we must face facts. Strikes
have occurred and they will occur
so long as the war economy of our
country Is out of line and out of
balance. The major cause of strikes
is that the Government is attempt
ing to enforce wage stabilization
while it has failed to stabilize the
cost of living.
Formula Proposed.
The way to prevent strikes is to
readjust the stabilization program
so that the purchasing power of
the wage dollar is restored. This
can be done either through upward
revision of wage rates, or even more
effectively, by rigid reduction and
control of prices of necessities of
life. Unfortunately, neither Con-
gress nor the executive branch OF
Government have thus far seen fit
to put such a program into effect
The Citizens Committee support
ing the Austin -Wadsworth bill de-
clared labor leaders who opposed
military selective service In 1916
did not then represent the views
Of the rank and file of American
workers, who have Loyalty supported
the military selective service law
ever since its enactment on Sep
tember 16, 1940."
If this be so," the committee
brief continued, "is it not doubtful
whether the present views of these
leaders on civilian selective national
service represent the opinions of the
millions of American workers who
have sons and brothers serving in

The last report reaching officials
Of the Benedictine Order in this
country, Archabbot Koch said, was
that all the Mount Casino monks
were safe.
OF the bombing he said:
IF what we hear about the Ger
mans making the abbey a defense
position Is correct, there Is no doubt
about the necessity of the Allies
bombing Mount Casino. If it will
bring peace quicker, then it was
justified"
