amounts to absolute dictatorial DOW
ers to the governor. His actions of
course are subject to review by his
superiors on the Security Council.
But Russia's veto power in the coun-
Gil is no good to her here, for in
the British version it is the governor
who must sign the territory's laws
before they go into effect and his
decision can be reversed only by q
Security Council vote with all great
powers concurrlng.
Needless to say, none of the pro-
visions OF the Russian draft designed
to establish Yugoslavias preferred
position with regard to the free terri
tory are iscluded in the British
draft.
The American proposal merely
shaves off some of the powers which
the British would give the Governor
For example, he keeps the drastic
reserve powers" subject, as in the
British draft, to appeal to the Sc
curity Council by the territory's as
sembly. But the assembly picks its
own council of government. The
governor presides over this council
but, under the United States plan,
he cannot vote in it. He apparently
is not empowered to remove its mem
bers from Office.
The French proposal retains the
essential cornerstone of the British
and American view-that the COVER
nor shall be the one who promul-
gates the territory's laws. But it
removes from him many of the extra
powers with which the British and
Americans would buttress his posi-
ton, including the reserve powers. -

OF Looters in Raid on
Polish Refugee Camp
BY the Associated Pras,

FRANKFURT, Germany. Sept. is.
American troops who raided
Polish displaced persons camp at
Wetzlar have broken up a gang Of
looters, black marketeers and boot
leggers whose leader alone Is sus-
pected of killing 43 Germans ana
three Americans, the United States
Constabulary announced today.
Sixty persons were arrested. The
leader, identified only as a Pole
named Ballon, was said to have
sworn vengeance on Germans for
the slaughter Of his parents and
three brothers by Nazis in Poland,
with an announced goal of killing
10 Germans for every member Of
his family.
Ballon, constabulary officers said,
boasted that he would escape and
kill a lieutenant of the American
Military Police-whom he wounded
in the hand with gunfire a week
ago-and captain in the American
Military Government. He tried to
escape by leaping from a second
story window, but was recaptured.
Among the others arrested were
two fugitives from Jail and a sus-
pect In a s50,000 fur robbery In
Frankfurt last April.
Four liquor stills were found in
the camp, along with such other
contraband as American cigarettes,
pistols and ammunition, parts for
complete radio transmitter, Army
clothing, American currency and
large quantities of Allied marks.
German police and UNRRA Of
ficials co-operated with constabu-
larry and infantry troops in the raid.

Soldiers Held by Poles
Released 10 u. ). Zone

Pvt. Melvin r. Best OF Butte
Mont, and Pvt. Curtis Dagley
Gloucester, Mass, who had beer
held in Polish prison for alleged
acts of violence, have been returned
to the American zone in Germany
as result of an agreement reached
between the United States and
Polish Governments, the War De-
partment announced today.
Investigation Of the facts will
be made by American military au-
thorities under Che agreement, it
was said, but Polish representatives
will be given an opportunity to
present evidence. Whatever dis
ciplinary action may be warranted
would be taken by Gen. Joseph T.
McNarney.
Pvt. Best was accused of killing
Polish militiaman last Decem-
ber II while intoxicated. He was
serving as a special train guard
over Polish nationals being repa-
triated from Germany.
Pvt. Dagley was charged with at
tempted rape and the wounding OF
Polish security policeman on May
while guarding train entering
Poland.
The War Department stated that
another American soldier had ad-
mitted completely In the shooting
and it is believed Pvt. Dagley is
innocent.
The Polish Government contend
ed that. because the alleged crimes
were committed in Poland, that
country had jurisdiction. American
authorities contended Army person
mel on duty in Poland should be
tried by American courts martial for
| illegal acts.

House Group 10 Query
Political Action Units
On Campaign Plans

The House Campaign Expendi-
lures Committee today worked out
details of the QUESTIONABLE it will
send to all organizations known to
be engaged in political activity
calling for an outline of the scope
of their activities in the forthcom-
ing House elections.
Chairman Priest, Democrat, oi
Tennessee estimated between 35 ano
40 organized groups would be
queried. AS an illustration he SAID
the list would include such organ
izations as the National Association
of Manufacturers, the CIO Political
Action Committee and the Ameri-
ca First group. He emphasized
however, that the mention of these
does not exclude any other organi-
Zation.
Committee members also stressed
the point that the sending of the
queStionnaires does not carry an
inference that there is any improper
political activity but merely that
the committee wants to know the
extent to which each organization
plans to participate in House cleo
tion contests.
Defer Missouri Probe.
Mr.. Priest said the committee put
off until an afternoon session sew
eral individual complaints already
pending, including the question of
whether to investigate the hotly
contested Missouri primary, in which
Representative Slaughter, Democrat
was defeated for denomination by
Enos Axtell President Truman put
the national spotlight on the contest
by opposing Mr.. Slaughter. The
request for an inquiry was filed by
Jerome Walsh, third candidate.

President Truman's forced re.

an already strong demand wlthlr
the inner Administration circles fol
either diScontinuance or sharp cur.
tailment of Presidential press con-

Woodrow Wilson, the first Presi-
dent to engage in free-for- all ques-
on-and-anSwer bouts with news
paper reporters, held very few such
meetings after slip of his tongue
concerning Mexico caused mild in
ternational disturbance in 1914. Mr.
Wilson held no press conferences
during his last five years in the
White House
President Harding reinstituted the
press conference, but after he had
ad libbed a misinterpretation of the
pending Nine-Power Pacific Treaty
that forced a reaSsembling of the
nations to rewrite it, Mr.. Harding
decreed that all questions must be
written and submitted to him in ad-
vance.
Presidents Coolidge and Hoover
continued this written-question re-
gime. with an increasing tendency
to answer no questions at all ex-
cepting those they had inspired.

reached the Council as the United
States delegate presented a strong
appeal to the Council for full f1nan-
cial support of the proposed refugee
program which has been tentatively
rejected by Russia and other coun-
tries.
United States Delegate George
Warren, declared the Committee on
Finances had been impressed by the
fact that 850000 displaced persons
In Europe and others in the Far
East constitute continuing threat
to the peace and order of the world
The committee recognized that
to remove this potential irritant in
the relations between governments
would cost money" Mr.. Warren said
adding that adequate measures
would require substantial amounts
and these sums can only become
available through contributions BY
governments.
