One Of the delicate diplomatic
problems involved in the pro-
posal to locate the world cap
ital here, It was learned, Is the
extent Of immunity from nation
nj and local regulations to be
accorded the international body
and the representatives Of other
nations assigner to 1t.

gard to red lights and stop signs,
they do argue that the United
States must accept a limitation
Of its jurisdiction over the site
selected as the new home Of the
society Of nations.
In effect, they believe, the
site of the world peace organi-
zation's headquarters woul d
have to be sort of an interna-
tional District of Columbia, with
the guest city, state and nation
relinquishing certain police, tax
and other rights in the zone.
California's Governor Earl
Warren and Mayor Lapham have
volunteered to grant virtually
anything the UNO wants. The
governor in a message to the
United Nations preparatory
commission, declared that the
state was willing to cede any
land required Tor the headQuar-
ters.
The Truman administration Is

Present tentative plans call
for the creation of a separate
UNO gendarmerie-which might
become the nucleus Of the first
international police force - to
patrol the 600-odd acre site of
the world capital.
SEEK HOUSING
It has also been suggested that
the UNO may want a private air
port, where representatives of
foreign nations could come and

and customs restrictions.

over the receivership, according to
testimony the past few days, were
off -the-record fee splits paid to
Judge Johnson's sons by receivership
officials whom the jurist appointed.
Other testimony alleged that the
Judge was familiar with the part
one son, Donald M. Johnson. was
said to have played in these trans
actions.
! However, Delmar K. Townsend of
Hughesville, Pa, who served three
years as a receiver for the wire rope
firm, said yesterday that las far
as I know the judge knew nothing
about" payment of about $1,000
half his fees-which Mr.. Townsend
said he made to Albert w. john

$4,000 Delivery Told.
One witness, Jacob Greenes,
Scranton beer salesman, claimed to
have delivered upward of $4,000 to
Donald johnson from Mr.. Memolo.
He said Mr.. Memolo and Donald,
in his presence, had agreed on a
$3.50 split of 100000 out of a $780,
900 off the-record payment he said
was to be made by Bethlehem Steel
to various receivership officials ap-
pointed by the judge.
Mr.. Goldschein had said Bethle-
hem Steel actually paid out s240,0
in this fashion and that over
5000 ,000'' of it landed eventually in
Mr.. Memolo's hands.
Son Under Indictment.
Mr.. Memolo recently was con-
victed in Scranton of income tax
fraud. He is free on appeal from a
three-year Jail sentence. Donald
johnson was indicted recently by a
special grand jury investigating his
fathers court and has pleaded in
nocent to charges of conspiracy in
connection with another receiver
ship.
Witnesses yesterday included
Mr.. Greenes, Mr.. Townsend, Army
Capt Albert Houck of Lewistown,
Pa, former chief deputy clerk in
the Middle District Of Pennsylvania
Federal Court, and James V. Fergu-
son, general superintendent of the
Williamsport Division (the former
wire rope company Of Bethlehem

Mr.. Ferguson testified that he
had no knowledge of any work done
at the plant late in 1887 and part

molo) did there?"
NO" Mr.. Ferguson said.
Mr.. Goldschein has asserted that
ali but $4,000 of Martin Memolo's
fee went eventually to John Me-
molo.

Among them, he said, was the job
of chauffering the judge, writing
his opinions and running errands
Other court appointees also were
messenger boys and personal SER
wants for the judge, he asserted.
He said he was practically or
'dered" by the judge to move from
a private residence into an apart
ment house owned by the jurist
This, he testified, cost him an extra
$40 to $40 month.
Didn't all employees (of the court
in LewiSburg, Pa have to live in the
judges apartments?" asked Mr.. Ke-
fauver.
Every one did except one ]
know Of" Capt. Houck replied.
How come that one?" he was
asked
There was no apartment avail
able" Capt. Houck said.
Under questioning by Chairman
Kefauver, Capt Houck told of man
he identified as Luther Martin who
he said, painted Judge Johnson s
residence Martin was paid, Capt
Houck said, by being made court
appraiser.
Capt. Houck testified that for a
long period after his association
with the court. the judge borrowed
dimes from him for shoe shines
never seemed to have any money
was being "dunned by creditors" and
otherwise appeared to be in
'straitened finances"
Suddenly, however, he said, the
judge began to have "a good bit OF
cash on him" and paid bills and
employees by check"
Judge johnson, who spent 20 years
on the Federal bench, resigned al
full pay of $4,000 a year
For over year the subcommittee
has been weighing ACCESSIBILITY OF
recommending impeachment action
against Judge johnson in a House
directed inquiry which also includes
study of the conduct of Judge Albert
L. Watson of the same court.

Tribute To Principal L. J, Harris

The comment through the Meridian
Star was imaginative Of the peaceful
and constructive life that he had pre-
scented to the general public; and it
seemed to have been the desire of the
Meridian Star to comment in a con
Istructive and peaceful manner, which
clearly represents t h e attitude and
mind Of Professor Harris in the past.
For many years we have read the
Meridian Star and no finer tribute
to our way of thinking has been paid
Ito any one.
AS race, it should be our desire to
set high and noble examples, so that
when we are gone to the great be
Iyond m en- and women Of all races
can look back on our past behavior
and say that we had fought a good
fight and we had lived q peaceful and

For long time we have been using
I'D Of our efo- to win the war, we
have aIsod about regularity. puctu-
atty efficiency and loyalty as being
aocesaary to victory. New The war is
ended. Many workers might feel that
they can relax, can let up, can grow
slack. This, of course, is an alto
gether wrong idea.
A greater job lies ahead of US per
haps than the one we have just COM
pleted. The job of Building a Bet
ter Tomorrow; of feeding the starv-
ing, homeless people of the world; of
doing our part to help our own cOun-
try to ways of peace again.
Now is the time for every worker
to get down to brass tacks; to sell
himself through good work we'll done
to begin to build future for himself
and those dependent upon him. You
worked long and well to help win the
war. The future is longer than the
duration. Every worker should buckle
down to the job of doing his part in
the building of a better world for him
self and those about him.
