These particular files, he explained,
were kept in the safe of Capt. Alwyn
D. Kramer, intelligence officer as
signed to translating intercepts in
l94l, and were entirely separate
from other Navy files.
Mr.. Richardson insisted that the
empty files could not have referred
to the winds message because the
date when Capt. Stafford said it
came in, December 4, was covered by
files showing other messages. File

anything, must have held material

Murphy Protests Applause.
Representative Murphy, Demo-
crat, OF Pennsylvania complained
earlier that certain persons in the
audience were trying by applauding
to protect Capt Stafford from a
searching cross-examination
There was applause twice when
Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin objected to the way in
which Mr.. Murphy was questioning
Capt. Stafford, who had admitted
carrying on a secret corresponds
in defense of Rear Admiral Husband
E. Kimmel, Pacific Fleet commander
at the time of the Japanese attack.
Il understand what's happening
among certain people in the audi
ence and I'm not going to be taken
off the track" Mr.. Murphy said.
Mr.. Cooper called for order. That
included the audience, he added, but
said nothing further when there
was applause second time.
Keefe Objects to Question.
The applause broke out when Mr..
Keefe objected to this question by
Mr.. Murphy to Capt. Stafford:
You were not interested in pro-
tecting the feet and the welfare of
the country"
Mr. Keefe objected.
THE witness is entitled to- some
degree of fairness and considera-
ton" he exclaimed.
The acting chairman did not rule
lon the objection, and Mr.. Murphy
diverted the questioning to another
line.
The flareup came when Mr., MUIR
ply asked Capt. Stafford why. on
THE day Of Pearl Harbor, he did not

In the same letter Capt. Stafford
had written Capt. Kramer that

Walter c. Short, Army command
in Hawaii at the time of the attack
were framed
Mr.. Murphy wanted to know what
Capt. Stafford had meant by writ
ing to ask whether Capt. Kramer OF

the Far Eastern section of naval
intelligence in 1941, and Vice Ad-
miral T. S. Wilkinson, director of

members up to the time the veto
question was raised.
Majority of Required.
Should the Council rule that the
Greek affair is dispute both
Britain and Russia would be barred
from voting and. therefore, neither
could exercise the veto. If the
issue is declared situation" both
parties would be entitled to vote.
The charter provides that Council
decisions must have a majority of
seven votes, including the five per-
manent members. Thus negative
vote or an abstention by either
Britain or Russia would have the
effect of a veto.
Pending settlement of this ques-
ton, resolution offered by Egyptian
Delegate Mambouh Riaz was held
in allegiance. This statement, clear
ing Britain of the Russian charges,
said:
THE Security Council, having
listened to the declaration of the
Soviet, British and Greek represent
atives, notes with satisfaction the
spirit of frankness and sincerity
which animated these declarations,
a spirit which certainly contributed
to the maintenance of peace and
good understanding among nations,
and while considering that the pres
ence of British troops in Greece does
not constitute menace to interna-
tional peace or security, takes note
of the declaration made by the
delegate of the United Kingdom
that British troops will be with
drawn from Greece as soon as the
reasons for their presence are re-
moved"
Red Charge Held Groundless.
During the six and half hours
debate yesterday, the United States,
Poland, Australia, Egypt, China,
France and the Netherlands all ex-
pressed the belief that there was
no basis for the Soviet charges.
Facing such opposition, Mr.. Vishin-
sky backed down lin the interest of
international harmony" on his de-
mand that the British withdraw
from Greece Immediately.
He said he would accept instead
British assurances that the troops
would be evacuated 'as soon as pos
sible." He insisted, however, that he
could not agree to any statement
saying that peace was not threat
ened. -
Mr.. Bevin, meanwhile, refused to
accept Mr.. Vishinsky's suggestion.
He said u give the lie" to the Soviet
charges, and demand from the
Council complete exonesation.
1t was then that the Egyptian res
olution was offered and Vishinsky
injected the veto issue by announc-
ing that he would vote against the
proposal.
After adjournment, in an out
wardly friendly discussion around
the Council table, Mr.. Bevin told the
Russian diplomat:
You can settle this. Why don't
you settle it?"
Grinning and wagging his finger,
he added:
Il know. You thought I put the
Persian case in, didn't. Just the
contrary. And now this is a counter
attack"
He referred to Trans charges that
the Russians were interfering with
internal affairs in Northern Iran.
"Oh, no." Mr.. Vishinsky retorted,
laughing. This is no Moscow prop
aganda.

UNO Group Would Allow
Site Residents to Remain

NEW YORK, Feb. S (P).-The Site
Selection Committee Which advised
the United Nations Organization tc
establish world headquarters in the
North Greenwich-St area
also recommended that persons liv-
ing in the zone be allowed to con-
tinue residence unless there is i'm
mediate need for their buildings and
land.
The report was made public last
night in New York and London
1T there is an international COM
munity of some thousands of people
living~at the headquarters" the re-
port said shops, service stations
ETC., will be necessary, and it is tc
be presumed that they will be op-
Grated by American citizens. Such
American citizens could not strictly
be regarded as having any 'oflcial
connection with the organization,
but we feel that it would be more
desirable to permit them to reside
within the zone.
I'VE therefore feel that, while the
local population would have to be
removed from such areas and build
ings as are Immediately needed by
the United Nations, the occupants
of other premises within the zone
could continue to reside there as
tenants of the United Nations until
such time as it became necessary to
take over their premises, it being
understood that the whole area will
be acquired by the United Nations
from the outset" --
Reasons for Choice.
The New York Connecticut area
was chosen, the committee said,
because in summer it is one of
the coolest in the New York City
area and contains about six small
lakes and, ponds. it is an hour and
a quarter by car to the center of
New York City, with excellent ap-
proaches; there is good train serv-
ice of 5000 minutes from Stam-
ford, about miles from the edge
of the area; beaches on the Long
Island Sound are miles away, ex-
cellent building and residential
sites are available on high ground
from which very beautiful views
can be obtained"
If the General Assembly rejects
this site then the committee offers
as secondary choices the region oil
Hyde Park, N. Y, home of Presi.
dent Roosevelt, and the Blue Hill.
area of Massachusetts,, south ol
Boston.
1t is expected to take about fiv,
years to build permanent govern
mental seat for the United Nations
During the interim the committe,
urged that the UNO conduct it
affairs in New York City. AS sec
ondary choices it offered Atlanti,
City, N. j., and Boston.
. Accommodation Adequate.
In favoring New York City, tn,
majority stated: THE total accom-
mediation offered may be considered
just adequate. 1t is split up ant
rather widely dispersed. (We
think it desirable to obtain furthe

LAW AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION IN
EMPLOYMENT URGED

WASHINGTON, June II (ANP)
Declaring that efforts to estab-
lish permanent fair employment
practices commission are doomed to
failure, Rep. Hoffman (R., Mich.)
urged instead a permanent law
making discrimination in employ
ment illegal.
In support of this he is author of
a bill which would make it unlawful
for a person to refuse to hire or
work for anyone because of race,
creed, color or national origin. Any
one violating the law would be en-
titled to actual damages" result
ing from the discrimination.
Observing that the Republican
national convention endorsed an
FEPC plan in 1914, he said the con-
vention also promised to create no
new agencies. Present Legislation
before congress would create new
agency.

versity was made here by Jesse

merce, for the purpose Of estab-
fishing the Mary Gibbs Jones
scholarships for deserving Negro
girls specializing in home eco
nomics.
Announcement Of the gift was
made here following a conference
between the donor, DR.. w. r.

officers of the Houston EndoWn-
ment, Inc, Jones foundation. The
scholarships will be awarded over
a ten-year period through the
Houston Endowment, Inc.
DR.. Banks, who has increased the
enrolment at Prairie View to more
than 800 in 20 years, received a
letter from Jones announcing au-
thoriZation by the trustees Of his
foundation to establish the scholar
ship fund at $1,000 a year for 10
years on the condition the funds
are used to finance girls who want
to major in home economics and
who otherwise would not be able
to do so, and to properly supervise
expenditures Of the funds"
Jones' letter explained that an
estimate Of 5000 to $500 was agreed
upon as sufficient "for a scholar
ship as some Of the girls would
either be in a position to contribute
something toward their expenses
from family connections or by
working.
1T is our intention that gradu-

cation, but procedure should be
established so that any who volun-

ROBINSON SLATED TO REACH BIG LEAGUE

LOUISVILLE, June II (ANP)
Owens, one of the nations
greatest track stars, predicted here
that Jackie Robinson the first Ne
gro baseball player to play in mod
ern white organized baseball, will
eventually reach the major leagues
as a member of the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Jackie can make the big leagues
it he goes about it as a baseball
player and forgets about the pres
sure of trying to make good for his
people" !" Owens remarked. 'If
Jackie displays big league capabili-
ties, ! know the Dodgers will give
him a chance in the big time"
Owens, who owns the Portland
franchise in the West Coast Negro
Baseball league, expressed doubt
that Negro athletes, or other ath-
letes, will be accepted without pref
udice all over the country overnight,
but he believes the day of equal op-
portunity for Negro athletes is
near. American sport fans don't
care whether an athlete is Polish,
Chinese or American, he said, as
long as they get their moneys
worth. They'll give him, in turn,
the credit he's DUE"
In reply to the question of what
would the Dodgers do if one of their
players refused to play with Jackie,
Owens replied:
'If Robinson is good and he's q
drawing card, | don't think the
Dodgers would do anything about
withdrawing Robinson from the
lineup. After all, baseball clubs are
out to make money. In any event,
| hardly think the problem would
come up
He remarked, while changing
clothes in the umpires' locker room
at Parkway field for a 75-yard ex-
hibition race against motorcycle
that he would not have been allowed
to use the locker room 20 years ago
to show the trend toward a more
liberal attitude by whites. Owens
won the race against the motorcycle
by five feet.
