DENY PLEA OF
 NAH DEFENSE

NUREMBERG, Feb. 27.-The Inter national Military Tribunal denied today Joachim von Ribbentrops plea that Winston Churchill, Edou- ard Daladier and other pre-war Allied leaders Ee summoned as de- fense witnesses in the war crimes trial of 22 Nazi leaders.
 The tribunal rejected 22 names of a list of 38 submitted by the former German foreign minister and also trimmed sharply the lists submitted by defendants Hermann Goering and Field Marshal Will helm Keitel.
 The tribunals action led prosscu- ton sources to predict the entire case could be completed within sev- en weeks.
 Tn rejecting Ribbentrop's request for Churchill and other witnesses from Britain and France, the tri. bunal said it appears that theil testimony would be irreyalent ol cumulatiye.v

 The House Appropriations Con- mittee turned down numerous items asked by several Bureaus If the Agricultural Research Ad- ,ninistration and, instead, included, in the Departments l947 financ- ing bill, the sao,o0o for expenses of a scanning survey.
 "The committee is Of the opin- .on," said the report on the bill, that a program of this sort should not be initiated without very careful survey of the needs and possibilities of worthwhile results, so that an overall program may be formulated as the basis upon which to maxe the initial appro- priations.
 The Interior Department has been trying unnecessarily for two years to finance an exhaustive sur- vey of Alaskan opportunities for settlement by returning service men.
 These proposals" the committee observed, appear to presage a far reaching program of research in Alaska, the total of which may, in the course of time. involve very large aggregate sum-

Attorneys Getting Impa- tient dt Governments
 Seueey-t3 Suspects

OTTAWA, Feb. 27.-Canadian attorneys, impatient at government secrecy concerning the leakage of official information. prepared today to demand that criminal charges be filed against 13 suspects now being held incommuicado in the l2-day- old investigation or that they be re- leased.
 Raymond Quain, Ottawa lawyer, said he would press for adoption by the Carleton County (Ottawa) Bar Association of a resolution pro- testing the restriction of personal liberty, which he said deprives the suspects of the constitutional, right either to have charge laid against them or to be set free"
 Two other attorneys complained that the suspects in the espionage case, identified by the Ministry of Justice last night as public offi- cials and other persons in positions of trust" had been denied the right to confer either with counsel or members of their families.
 The government previously had announced that the earliest report on the Royal Commissions investi- gation of the case-Russia has ad- mitted frankly that she obtaind secret data from Canada-would not be made public for two or three weeks

 Question Asked
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Reb. 27.-Sen- ator vandenberg tR.- -MichA called today for vigorously plain-spoken American foreign policy that will match Russia's in firmness.
 Reporting to the Senate on his work as delegate to the United Nations meeting in London, the Chairman of the Republican Sem atorial Conference told his col leagues that the world today is ask ing What is Russia up to now2"
 Without attempting to answer that question specifically. vanden- berg said in prepared address that upon the answer may depend the future fate of world efforts to keep the peace.
 It would be entirely futile. the Michigan Senator said, Ito blink the fact that two great, rival ideo- logies-democracy in the west, and communism in the east--here find themselves face to face with the desperate need for mutual under standing in finding common ground upon which to strive for peace fcr both"
 Puts It "If" But he said the United Stat S and Russia "can live together in reasonable harmony if the United States speaks as plainly upon all occasions as Russia does: If the United States just as vigorously sus- tains its own purposes and it's ideals upon all occasions as Russia does: if we abandon the miserable fic- tion. often encouraged by our fsl- low travellers, that we somehow jeopardize the peace If our canfiog is as firm as Russia's always IS, and { if we assume moral leadership which we have too frequently al- lowed to lapse
 One Rule Needed We need but one rule" and Van denberg added, aWhat is riglit9 Where is right? Where is justiceq ! There let America take her stand Along with that, Vandenbsrg said 1 the United States must make | plain There is a line beyond which compromise cannot go But how can we expect our alien {, friends to know where that line is I unless we establish the habit of saying only what we mean and
 meaning every word we ssy?r he asked, adding:

 SPEED TODAY
Indian Girl Testifies Camp bell Still Had Money
 Sunday Morning

Trial of George Harrison Meeks for alleged first degree murder or Clarence J. Campbell progressed at a stepped-up pace through yes terday afternoon and this morning that caught the prosecution OH stride and resulted an an early recess this forenoon.
 Since noon Tuesday, eight Gov ernment witnesses had finished their turns on the stand up till l1:30 o'clock this morning when, at the request of U. s. Attorney Pat rick Gilmore, Jr., the trial was re- cessed till o'clock this afternoon. In praying for the early recess, the U. s. Attorney stated that the next witness to be called by the Government is a crippled woman who can not be readily brought to Court; that she had been instruct ed to report for this afternoons session, but that the speed of the proceedings had brought her turn to testify sooner than anticipated.
 The increased speed of the pro ceedings has resulted from defense decision, with regard to several witnesses, to forego the extensive cross-examination that marked early phases of the murder trial. The defense waived all cross-examina- tion of two Government witnesses called yesterday afternoon.
 Youth On ;Stane
 On the stand at adjournment yesterday and further cross-exam- ined at the opening of proceedings this morning was Edward Schwaes- dall, 16-year-old son of Fair banks mining family. Schwaesdan, l, a close associate of the defendant Meeks when both were Alaska Road Commission employees at Gulkana last summer, was revealed to have been brought here from San Diego, California, to testify that he loaned Meeks $60 at Anchorage last Octo- Der to help Meeks pay his fare to Juneau.
 Schwaesdall's testimony followed that of Theresa Johnson, Indian girl who recounted renewing a former acquaintance with the mur- dered man, Clarence Campbell, on the Saturday evening just preced- ing his staying. She related that she had drunk with Campbell that night and that at about 10 o'clock the following Sunday morning, in

RUSSIA LANDS MORE TROOPS

Chinese Stage Mass Dem. onsfrdfions Against
 Soviet Occupation

SHANGHAI. Feb. 27.-High Chi ,1ese military circles in Chinshien reported today that Russia is land- ing additional thousands of troops 5n Dairen and Port Arthur, indi- eating an intention to remain in Manchuria indefinitely. This was not confirmed officially.
 From the Manchurian capital, Changchun, Russian Tass News Agency dispatch quoted the Soviet High Command as saying all Rus sian troops would be gone from Manchuria at feast no later than American troops withdrawn from China; probably before.
 Public demonstrations in China against continued Russian occupa- ton of Manchuria mounted despite Chiang Kai-shek's admonition to the nation not to be too concerned.
 In Nanking, more than 10000 demonstrators jammed the city's IIiiQuie tlllBhj oCiiOOl SOAAitJOhii1 yesterday. Here in Shanghai almost 10000 students staged their third such demonstration in three days, parading past the Russian Con- sulate building thousands also marched in Chungking, Chengtu and other cities.
 Chinese military men in Chinh- sien who reported the movements said they found nothing to indicate Russian evacuation of Manchuria. To the contrary, they said, Rus sians are buying Japanese homes and other property and are sending for their families.
 Associated Press correspondent Spencer Davis toured Mukden and said the city had been stripped of machinery and "any hope China's Central Government may have had of taking over a ready made indus :rial empire in Manchuria" had been shattered.

 TIE-Up, pAC. COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The Federal Consolidation Service today sought to bring together represen- tatives of employers and CIO Wat erfront Workers in an. effort to avoid threatened strike in Pacific Coast ports.
 The CIO International Longshore- mems and Warehousemen's Union, in accordance with the Smith Con- nally Act, has notified the govern ment of it's intention to strike.
 A walkout would take about 22,000 longshoremen from the waterfronts of nine major Pacific Coast ports. The union has asked pay raise of 35 cents an hour.
 The San Francisco Waterfront Employers Association announced delay of a proposed meeting with union leaders while employers stud jed letter from Harry Bridges, ILWU President.
 Bridges charged in the letter that the association in recent weeks "has undertaken to provoke stoppages of work by longshoremen and water front checkers in various Pacific Coast ports" and asserted that the "provocations" were an excuse tc refuse to negotiate new contracts with the union.
 A dispute between union and em- ployers over the number of checkers to be employed was said by both sides to have threatened a tie-up of this port and Portland. The union has asked arbitration on the issue and offered to work on the basis of one checker per gang of longshore- men, but employers maintained shir operators should determine the number of checkers.
