Draft Status Made Public

Hartford, Conn, July 16-(UP)- Bernard P. Kopkind, New Haven city court prosecutor, testified today in federal court that information concerning the draft status of regis trant Genaro D'Amato had been made public in court before former l draft board chairman Anthony Paolillo gave it to the New Haven Journal-Courier reporter.
 Paolillo was on trial before fed Feral jury here on charge of reveal ing confidential information from the file of registrant. Paolillo had claimed earlier that the information he gave to defend my reputation" was not confidential. Paolillo said he gave the information to deny 8 story appearing in the New Haven Register and quoting state selective service director John F. Robinson as saying Paolillo had used influence" to keep D'Amato from being draft ed. Kopkind today testified h a t D'Amato had given details of his draft status, his salary and the fact he supported a widowed mother and crippled sister when he appeared in court on gambling charge.
 Kopkind said the information did not appear in the court record be- cause the court stenographer was ill and had not been able to take down all testimony. Another court steno- grapher, Frederick L. Cogswell, New Haven, took the stand to attempt to read the original record and testi- fled that parts of it were illegible and that there were omissions"
 Paolillo has filed a libel suit against the Register.

Post1Uar Conscription
 Abandonment Urged

Washington, July 16.- (UP) - House Republican Leader Joseph w. Martin, Jr, proposed today that the nations of the world adopt an international agreement to aban- don peacetime conscription for mill itary service.
 The Massachusetts congressman announced that he would introduce a resolution tomorrow urging the administration to begin immediate efforts to obtain such an agreement.
 If a mutual understanding can be reached between nations and peoples then the policy of gigantic systems of universal compulsory military service should be elimin- ated," Martin said. Tt would re- ieve the United States and all other nations of the necessity to assume this great new burden at 8 time when we must build, recon struct and readjust the world to peace"

 'The system which has long been the practice of European nations has never prevented war" he said "1t is always viewed with sus- picion and fear by other countries, forcing them to adopt the same policy.

 Tokyo reported without confirmation that Admiral William F. Halsey's Third Fleet broke off the assault on northern Honshu and Hok- kaido last night, "presum- ably due to bad weather"
 But the Japanese alerted their defenses up and down the smoking co as t and warned that Halsey's mighty battlewagons, cruisers and carriers would be back to re- peat the destructive week. end strike.
 At the same time, they said . force of 100 Mustang fighters from Two Jima picked up the attack to- day with a low-level strafing raid on the Nagoya area of southern Honshu.

.ItaIion' ! Submarines
 In Joponese Waters

New York, July 16-UP)- Italy's declaration of war on Japan makes it possible to reveal that for more than a year a fleet of Italian sub marines has been in action against the Japanese in far eastern waters.
 The submarines, manned by Italians. were sent to the Indian ocean a few months after Italy surrendered uncon- ditionally in September, 1943. They became active against Japanese shipping as soon as operati0nal details were ironed out.
 The number of Italian subs in action is small.
 Mother ships and other ItaI- ian auxiliaries accompanied the submarines.
 The submarines originally were with the British eastern fleet operating in the Indian Ocean.
 The Italian submarines have proved effective in the waters in which they have seen service and have sunk several enemy ships.
 The actual number of ItaI- ian submarines surrendering to the Allies in September, l943, was not made public, From 40 to 30 were believed in operation before the sur- render.

Nations Food Boss Attacks All Problems
By RUTH GMEINER

Washington, July 16-(UP)-Dur- ing the first two weeks in office as the nations food boss, Secre- tary of Agriculture Clinton P. An- derson has shown this capital something refreshingly new in the way of lightning decisions and two- listed policies.
 His associates are confident that his administration of the food pro- gram will justify the free hand given him by Congress and the White House in attacking an ex- tremely difficult problem.
 His first personal report to the nation on food prospects will be delivered tonight through press and radio. It may not be as favor able picture as Anderson be- lieved when he took office a fort night ago, largely because a newly reported drop in prospective feed supplies has upset plans for ex- banding livestock production.
 Anderson has gone to work with the hope of avoiding the contro- versies which marked the path of his predecessors. But he has indi- cated, nevertheless, that he will not side-step a fight if his pro- grams are in danger.
 For instance, Anderson informed the War Production Board that he believed the grain supply was toe short to set any aside for use in making beverage alcohol. He indi- cated that his mind wasn't closed on the matter-iout that the burden of proof was on the WIPE.
 The newly announced cut in but ter ration points is a result of An- derson's desire to move quickly when conditions warrant. When he first came out for the cut, OPA

 Ratification .OfCharter
United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 16-CUP)-Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y, opened senate debate on the Breton Woods monetary proposals today with a plea for prompt ratification.
 He said their acceptance would inform the world that we stand ready to cooperate in international economic matters" Together with the United Nations Charter, he said, the proposals Hay firm foundation for peace"
 Wagner introduced the Breton Woods proposals as chairman of the senate banking committee.
 Overwhelmingly adopted by the house, they provide for United States participation in $9,100, ,000, ,00O World bank and an $500, ,000, 900 International Monetary fund to help world reconstruction and de- velopment and to stabilize curren- cies.
 Main opposition to the Breton Woods plan was expected from a small Republican minority led by Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O.
 Taft already has asked the sen- ate to delay ratification at least until after the summer recess but preferably until an international conference can be called to work out what he termed a more ''prac- tical" way to cure the worlds econ- onnic ills.
 The proposals were passed by the house on an overwhelming vote of 345 to IS. The senate banking com- mittee recommended senate ,ratifi- cation IA to 4. The nays" were cast by Taft and fellow Republi- cans Eugene Milliken, Colo, Hugh Butler, Neb., and John Thomas, Ida.
 The United States, first of A sig natory nations to act on the World money plan, would put nearly $6,- 000,000,000 into the fund and the bank.
 As outlined by the treasury, the $9, 100, 100000 bank would make or guarantee long term loans for re- construction and development. The $8,800, 100000 fund would be used to stabilize international currency and outlaw economic gangsterisn" in international trade.

With American Troops in Ger many, July 16. (UP)-Doughboys were still walking around today with dazed looks on their faces.
 Boy! What they don't know today about German girls.
 The frauleins all fiocked down to the Rhine beaches yesterday to show of their charms because Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had lifted the non-fraternization ban and Pfc. John Doe could say 'hiyah with out facing several weeks in the cooler.
 The Army Daily, Stars and Stripes" carried word of the end of the no-talk law and most Amer jeans were plenty happy about it.
 So were the girls. One, named Hilda, beamed at her new boy friend, T-Sgt. George Hahn, of Philadel- phia, and said, ''Das gud fraterniza- tions-I like just like Americanish soldiers like"
 George said it was swell all right, but added that Hilda might as well get that Statue of Liberty" look out of her eyes because his future plans concern an American girl.
 American soldiers and German girls walked hand in hand along the streets of Wiesbaden and other German cities. No longer did the soldiers have to do their courting on the sly.
 However, one pretty Dutch girl strolling with an American sergeant didnp't like the way that the Ger man girls were poaching on the ter ritory of her displaced persons friends. She charged the Germans with fiirtings. to get candy bars and cigarettes"
 Beautiful Maria Shaeffer and black-haired Margot Schultze both laughed at the ending of the ban. They readily admitted that they had long been friends of American soldiers.
 Margot said, ''but it's nice now that we can be with them in public"
