COUNCIL ORDERS
CHARGES PROBE
Russia Is Silent As UN
Decides To Investigate
Franco

NEW YORK, April 20. -(P)-The
United Nations Security Council
by 10 affirmative votes with
Russia sitting silent, Monday or
dered commission of five dele
gates to investigate Polish charges
that Franco Spain is a menace
to world peace.
The Soviet delegate, Andrei A.
Gromyko, restated his opposition
to any investigation of Spain as a
superfluous delaying action. He de-
clined to vote or attempt to veto
the inquiry and thereby raised the
shadow of an inevitable battle in
the council over the veto issue.
The Council in its 32-minute ses-
sion climaxed a bitter fight on the
Spanish question by setting up a
subcommittee of five nations -
Australia, China. Brazil, France
and Poland - to investigate the
Spanish regime. 1t then adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.
Paul Hasluck, 4O-year-old former
history professor who replaced
Lieut.. w. R. Hodgson as the
Australian delegate only Monday
was named chairman of the sub
committee. 1t met Immediately af-
ter the Councils short session tc
chart the course of its work.
The Council thus accomplished
the following:
l. Set up the sub-committe along
the lines of compromise propos-
ed by Australia to investigate
charges by Poland, and backed by
Russia. that the Spanish regime
menaces world peace and harbors
Nazi scientists and war criminals.
2. Ordered the subcommittee te
report by May 81.
3. Expressed formally the unani
NOUS condemnation of the Franco
regime by members of the Security
Council.
4. Left it up to the Council 1tsel1
to take such action it'desires on the
subcommittee report; the sub.
committee is not empowered te
make recommendations.
The lineup of the investigation
committee with regard to Spain is
this:
Australia and China have no dip.
lomatic relations with Spain.
Brazil and France have maintain
ed relations but the French-Spanish
contact has been strained by
Frances closure of her Spanish
frontier.
Poland not only does not have
relations with Spain but is the
prime mover for United Nations
action against Spain and has form
ally recognized the Spanish Repub-
lican leadership exiled in Paris as
the rightful government of Spain.

HUNGER STRIKERS
IN MUNICH CELLS
Jews Refuse Food Follow
ing Sunday Riots In
German City

MUNICH, April 29-UP-Twenty
Jews Monday went on hunger
strike at Landsberg in follow
up of Sundays riot in which
two persons were killed and about
40 injured and UNRRA officials
warned that further trouble appear
ed to be brewing.
The hunger strikers were in the
camp Jail of the displaced per-
sons camp at Landsberg. Nineteen
of the group were admitted to
the Jail at their own request in a
protest gesture against the arrests
of the twentieth person.
Cause fthe riot, Sunday, in
which the Jews attacked German
civilians on the Landsberg streets
still was obscure. Reports the
900 Jews led the attack were
minimized by Leo Srole, UNRRA
welfare director at the camp.
estimated that several hundred
Jews were involved.
Srole said that Jewish anger
against American military auth
critics was rising again. U. S.
troops brought Sundays demon
stration to an end by firing over
the heads of the crowd.
Military government officials re.
fused to comment on the outbreak,
saying they had been instructed
| by public relations officer in
Berlin to say nothing. Military
spokesmen at Frankfurt and Hell
delberg also refused to comment
Among those stoned by the
demonstrators was Cook Glass
gold. New York city, an UNRRA
official who is himself Jewish.
He was stoned but not injured
when he mounted truck and
pleaded with the demonstrators to
return to their camp.
Approximately 200 American
troops quelled the four-hour-riot by
firing into the ground and over the
heads of the irate Jews, the Lands
berg military governor said.
The camp is located at Diessen,
a part of Landsberg. First reports
said 5000 or 5000 persons were
involved in the rioting. Later fig
ures placed the number OF Jewish
camp residents involved at approx
imately 1000. The number of Ger
mans involved was uncertain.
Headquarters Of the U. 5. Ninth
Division at Augsburg, 20 miles
north of Landsberg, said two per
sons were killed and at least 40
hospitalized from the melee.
The enraged Jews beat, stoned
and knitted German civilians on
the street and swarmed around the
small American deta chment in the
town They were quieted and herd
ad hack into ttleil camp on the
outskirts only after American re-
inforcements were rushed from
Augsburg in jeeps and armored

The two biggest problems facing
the council tomorrow are the selec-

likelihood they will fill the empty

W. K. Rhodes, though turned
down by the council in three tc

ton.
