STETTINIUS POINTS
TO OAKS PLAN FOR
THE SMALL NATIONS

PLEASANTVILLE, N. Y, Jan.
24.-RNSecretary of State Stettin-
JUS says the Dumbarton Oaks plan
gives small nations greater OPP
portunity than they might have
otherwise to "stand sentinel over
the behavior of the great powers.
Writing in the February Readers
Digest, he says the plan provides
many checks against the crea-
ton of "what some commentators
have described as an |irresponsi
BILE and uncomfortable great-pow-
er super state, - adding:
agreement among the great
powers is an essential condition of
peace. At the same time, the op-
portunity of the smaller powers, I'M
der the Dumbarton Oaks plan, to
stand sentinel over the behavior of
the great powers is surely f a r
greater than it ever could be in a
world left unorganized and plan
lessly open to predatory agrees

NLRB EXAMINER
BARS WITNESS

An early adjournment terminal
ed yesterday afternoons proceed
ings in the National Labor Rela-
tons Boards hearing of unfair la
bor-practice harges, brought
against the North Carolina Ship
building Co., by the CLIO when Trial
Examiner ]. J. Fitzpatrick ruled
against Board attorney William j.
Avrutis' attempt to introduce a
volunteer witness into the case.
The volunteer, not named in the
complaint, was Elliott Gray, a
former assistant foreman who
claimed to have been discharged
by the company for his union SYM
pathies. Objection to his testi-
mony was raised Immediately by
Maj. L. P. McLendon, shipyard
counsel, and upheld unequivocally
by Mr.. Fitzpatrick.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Avlutis
had attempted to introduce into the
records an amendment to the COM
plant and third supplemental
bill of particulars. These contain
ed the names of additional eX-
workers of the company seeking
remedial action by the Board and
an enlarged list Of alleged often
ders against the Wagner Act.
When his motion was turned
down by the Board examiner, who
pointed out that Mr.. Avrutis had
promised earlier not to amend the
complaint again, Mr.. Avrutis coin
planned of local lack of knowledge
about the Boards powers and
functions. In turn, this drew the
remonstrances Of Robert M. Ker-
mon, counsel for the USA, Inc. in
dependent union, who rose to de-
fend the intellect and knowledge

In guarded language, the Ger

saying that the Russian aim was
to cut the railway that runs down
from Konigsberg, East Prussian
capital, through Elbing to Tczew
(BirschaW and thence across the
Polish corridor to the Reich prop

Rokossovsky's men, besides ex-
tending their hold in the Polish
corridor, also launched a new in
vasion of East Prussia from the
southeast, taking Lyck, Neuendorf
and Bialla, all in the province S

brought Stalin's fourth order of the
