Grim Exhibits
 Feature rial

Two blood-stained doors, one with a cracked panel, were introduced as states evidence in superior court to- day, over defense objections. as the state continued it's case of first de- gree murder against 51-year-old Domenic CoScia.
 Introduction of the grim exhibits will pave the way for a prosecution claim that Coscia last Sept. 28 broke the door, leading to the kitchen of the Cyr home at 419 Washington avenue, with the butt of his 12- guage gun, pushed the gun through the crack, and shot and killed Adolph Cyr, his brother-in law.
 The jury of six men and six WOm- en, and two alternates, man and woman, at length gazed upon the doors, as States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald moved them to the jury box. Silence enwrapped the courtroom Coscia, who sat at the counsel table, looked on tensely and interestedly.
 Judge John A. Cornell admitted the doors as full exhibits over an objective by Chief Defense Counsel Edward Mascolo, who stated that the state must first establish that the doors are in the same condition now as they were at the time of the staying. The prosecutor stated that it was inconceivable that the condi- tion of the doors was changed after they were removed from the house.

 The article also cited the N. Y. Daily News for eXhorting Americans to be prepared against Russian in- yasions of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
 Deep concern has been felt here about the anti-Russian press cam paign spreading in many countries, especially the United States There have been many articles and press reviews lately about the situation Today's in Red Star was the blunt est yet. It was featured prominently on the foreign news page.
 Red Star listed headlines from American, Mexican, and Turkish newspapers asserting among other things, Red waves threatening to engulf all Europe"
 The article referred to the de- mand by Rep. John M. Coffee CD. Wash.) that steps be taken to halt rumors aimed against the Soviet Union.

 Both Red Star and Izvestia pub Iished submarines of a recent article by Eleanor Roosevelt and tran script of principal parts of a radio debate in which Gram Swing took part.
 In recent weeks more and more dispatches and editorial opinions dealing with the anti-Soviet press campaign abroad have been appear Ing in the Soviet Press.

.LEvANT CRISIS CHARGE DEN NED
 BY CHURCHILL
BY EDWARD V. ROBERTS

London, June 5.-UP)- Prime Minister Churchill de- nied in Commons today a charge by Gen. Charles De G aulle that the British caused the crisis last week in the Levant.
 Our whole influence has been used in precisely the other directic l." Churchill said in rejecting De Gaulle's accusation, made at a press conference Saturday, that the British stirred up the trouble in Syria and Leb- anon.
 Churchill said the British min- ister at Beyrouth had made strenu- ous and successful efforts to create calm atmosphere for the nego- tiation of outstanding questions be- tween France and the Levantine states.
 We recognize Frances special position" Churchill told Commons, but that does not mean that we have undertaken to enforce that special position.
 We shall put no obstacle to it. either at the council table or in any other way, but our commit ments and duties also extend throughout the Middle East"
 He said he personally urged upon the president of Syria the need for a specific settlement when they met in Calro last February.
 The British government have no designs against the French in Syria, and I was willing, as I told General De Gaulle, to order the withdrawal of all British troops in Syria and Lebanon the moment a treaty had been concluded and was in operation between the French and Syrian and Lebanese governments" Churchill said.
 The British, Churchill said, had put a great deal of pressure upon the Levant states to open negotla- tions with the French before the crisis arose.
 Emphasizing that Britain had absolutely no ambitions of any kind In the Levant, he said:
 We sought no territory there, and no kind of advantage that was not given to any of the other na- tions of the world
 Churchill expressed regret that his message to De Gaulle demand ing that the French cease fire ln the Levant reached the general after Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden had revealed it in Commons.
 T need hardly say that no dis courtesy was intended" he said. T should also like to say that it was a

No Solution
 In Sight On Issue
Rv R. Fl. SHACKFORD

San Francisco, June 5-(UP)- The United Nations conference went on with it's job of drafting a world charter today and prepared to admit its 5Oth member-Den- mark-despite the continued big five deadlock over the veto issue.
 Committees not involved in the veto dispute began final phases of their work as the conference con- pleted its sixth week. One committee approved the import enforcement arrangements" section which will make it possible to equip the new league with teeth" and empower it to use force, if necessary, to put down an aggressor
 The executive committee, com posed of the chiefs of delegations of IA nations, scheduled its first meeting in more than two weeks to seek settlement of some disputed points and speed up the tempo of the conference. It also is ready to consider Norways request that liberated Denmark be admitted to the last days of the conference.
 The veto controversy between Soviet Russia and the other mem bers of the big five is still going on. No solution is yet in sight. But American officials are desperately exploring all angles for an answer that will avoid a showdown vote on the conference floor.
 For the time being the United States, Britain, France and China are waiting and hoping that Mos COW will reveal that her position is not final one No word has been received from Moscow since Andrei A. Gromyko, head of the Soviet delegation, cabled the Kremlin Sat- urday night that the other big pow CTS had rejected Russia's interpre- tation of the Yalta voting formula
 Communication with Moscow is slow, and last night there was dis position among the American and British delegations to wait at least another AS hours-until Wednesday or Thursday-before making any

Boston, June 5 - (U.PD - Fed eral government action against some 15O striking bus drivers of the Eastern Massachusetts Street Rail- way Company's Salem Division loom ed today after the men ignored a union appeal to end their four-day wildcat Walkout.
 Director Saul Wallen of the Re- gional War Labor Board warned that the matter would be referred to Washington unless the workers concluded their strike which has curtailed transportation of nearly 150,00O north shore residents, in- cluding thousands of war workers.
 Wallen said that if necessary the Army would operate the busses, and that the draft deferments and pri- vate gasoline rations of the strik- ing drivers would be cancelled.
 The employees at mass meeting last night voted unanimously to re- main idle until their wage-hour de- mands were met by the company which serves II eastern Massachu- sets communities.
 The back -to-Work appeal was made by John H. Cullen, president of the Salem local of the Amalga- mated Association of Street, Elec- tric Railway and Motor Coach Em- ployes of America (AFD.
 The drivers have demanded new contract which would include a general wage increase, better work ing hours and improved sick leave and pension plans. The Salemn To- cal refused to accept certain con- sessions granted the company's l. 300 employees who agreed Friday to defer a strike over the entire sys- tenn pending further consideration of their demands.
