One clash occurred during defense

Kearney, London area staff judge
advocate, in its effort to challenge
jurisdiction Of the court on the
grounds of bias and prejudice in
higher Army ranks regarding the
case.

judicial notice OF Washington dis

liShed in London newspaper which
said Gen. Eisenhower had ordered
an investigation of charges that an
attempt was being made to white
wash officers involved.
Objections Raised.
When objections were raised, Mr..
MCGEE sought to ask Maj. Kearney
whether the staff judge advocate
knew the Army was investigating
the Lichfield case "on grounds that
the officers will not be tried as they
should be and the enlisted men will
be the goats"
Maj. Gaguine ruled this out as
irrelevant" and Mr.. MCGEE, throw

A plan whereby Greek

his family in Greece a COW and
mare. the scarcest of commodities in
that land of scarcities, was described
here last night by George P.
Skouras, vice president of the
Greek War Relief Association.
The plan, already in operation,
includes two novel features: Each
cow and each mare will be bred be-
fore shipment, so that calves and
foals may be expected within a few
months after their arrival in Greece,
and each will be branded promi-
nently with the words ~. S. Of
America"
Referring to the desperate plight
Of Greek women who, he said, have
borne the burden of the poverty to
which war reduced the country.
Mr.. Skouras concluded:
Nov, my friends, no matter what
she hears on the radio or any other
rumors concerning political and
social matters, she will pay no at
tention because she will know who
her friends are. She will know that

Greece with the ONCE of Strategic
Services for several months after
the liberation of that country. He
described in detail famine conditions
existing there and said the relief
association plans a $4,000 000-a-
year program to improve Greece's
health conditions.
The Nazis almost completely
stripped Greece of livestock during
the war, Mr.. Skouras said. He
explained that for an individual to
ship an animal through private
arrangements would require an out
lay of approximately $3.50. entirely
aside from the cost of the animal.
The relief associations figure of
$3.50 for COW and $98 for a horse
was made possible through the CO.

Meanwhile, tension mounted at
lake ports as additional vessels were

Union headquarters said federal
transport department vessels on the

vessels at st. Johns, Newfoundland.
Mr.. Donovan, charging the union
with breach of contract, said the

owners. not the union, had broken
the contract by refusing to allow

All this added up to an unusual
assault on a party leader who also

was a temporary commotion which
involved no break with labor.

be heading toward drastic revision

the coal strike should be settled in
day or two, 1t would strengthen

Many of the Senate Republicans
are anxious, however, to get the
permanent Case bill to President
Truman, and Senator Ball, Repub-
llcan, OF Minnesota suggested the
possibility of an attempt to attach
it to the emergency measure in the
Senate.
The labor-draft provision is not
the only section of the emergency
bill facing stiff fight. Prolabor
