Possibility Of Protest
Over Stepinae Trial
Raised by Acheson

Oficial American concern ant
deep worry" over indications OF un'
fairness in the Yugoslav conviction
of a Catholic prelate on charges o.
Axis collaboration raised the pos
sibility today of formal protest u
Marshal Tito's government.
Acting Secretary of State Achesor
expressed this Governments con-
cern over civil liberaties aspects ol
the case soon after news came from
Yugoslavia yesterday that Arch
bishop Alojzijc Stepinac, head OF the
Catholic Church In that country
had been sentenced to 16 years i'm
prisonment amid cheers from court
room spectators.
Mr.. Acheson recalled that Yugo-
slavia, as a signer of the United
Nations Charter, was pledged to
promote fundamental human right
and freedoms but that this Govern
ment has long been concerned about
civil liberties there.
Concern Stressed.
It is the civil liberties aspect OF
the Stepinac trial, Mr.. Acheson
said, which causes us concern" He
said unofficial reports of the trial
raised questions as to whether 1t
had any. implications looking to-
ward the impairment OF freedom OF
religion and worship"
He said his comment was based
on newspaper accounts OF the case
and indicated this Governments s
final attitude will be determined
only when it receives official reports.
He refused to say whether any oft1-
cial action would be taken then.
When the United States recog-
nized Marshal Tito's government
several months ago, Mr.. Acheson
recalled, it called attention to the
undesirable situation" in respect to
civil liberties in Yugoslavia and re-
minded that country of its obliga-
tions under the United Nations
Charter. Final recognition was
granted only after Yugoslav assur-
ance of fulfilling its international
obligations.
Many Cases Cited.
Since recognition, Mr.. Acheson
added, the United States has had
to take up very considerable num-
ber of cases with the Yugoslav gov
eminent when we have felt that
the trials of our citizens were un-
fairly conducted"
He emphasized that the United
States Constitution guarantees q
free trial and that the Supreme
Court has set aside verdicts in which
the courtroom has been dominated
by feelings adverse to the defend
ant by demonstrations of prejudice" +"
THAT" the Undersecretary de-
clared, sis deeply inherent in the
American system. The very essence
of due process of law is that in trials
we should lean over backward in be-
ing fair to the defendant in the
atmosphere of the court room, IN
forbidding demonstrations Of spec
tators. in the opportunity OF facing
and cross examining witnesses.
"It is that aspect of the thing
on which one can have no final evi-
dence until a report and detailed
records are available-which causes
us concern and deep worry"

Two Pickets Arrested.
Two pickets were arrested at the
Hay-Adams. after police decided
they had become too boisterous.

evening? Delicious food. Temptingly
served. Attractive prices. Dining

A foresighted manager was g. H
Parrish at the Lafayette. At pm
yesterday, with strike clouds gather
ing, got a placard painted in red
and black saying the hotel was
closed, just in time for the strike.
He said other hotels had tried to
get such signs but had not been in
time.
Although the Continental Hotel
was affected by the strike, guests
ate and drank there as usual last
night. Several private parties were
held as scheduled. This was pos
sible because the hotels food and
beverage departments are operated
by a concessionaire not involved In

However, Office stats were work
ing elevator shifts and serving the
switchboard.
Flag Flies After Dark.
Pickets at the Roger Smith Hotel
called attention of passersby to an
American flag flying after dark.
Should be taken down at SUM-
set, but there was no one to do 1t, y
they said.
The management of the Ambassa- =
dor Hotel said it would have been
possible to serve food and drinks
there last night. However, it
would have been makeshift service,
and we decided to shut down those
departments entirely rather than do
a poor job" 1t was explained.
A sign posted beside the desk In
the Annapolis Hotel notified guests
that maid service had been elimi-
mated. They were instructed to OBJ
tain clean linen in the lobby be-
tween 8 am. and pm. If needed.
Office staff members stood at
doors of the Willard and turned
away many persons who wished to
make telephone calls from booths
in the lobby, explaining the hotel
was closed"
Concessions Stay Open.
Willard lobby concessions, such as
cigar and newstands, were in oper-
alton.
Drinks could be obtained in the
hotel-by members and guests hav-

attached to pillars outside the Penn

Reds Grant Air Lanes
Over Central Europe
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

; VIENNA, June l-Geh Mark W.
Clark, commander of American oc-
cupation- forces in Austria, reported
to the joint chiefs of staff in Wash
ington today that Russian author
ities have agreed-to the establish
ment OF straight air lanes over
Soviet-confrolled territory between
/; Vienna, Linz, Budapest and Prague.
! The agreement eliminates some of
the flying difficulties which resulted
in the buzzing of American planes
by Russian fighter pilots recently,
but the Russians still have not
granted freedom of the air as re-
.quested by American authorities,
and flights over Soviet territory still
must ke made within narrow
prescribed lanes.
Gen. Clark. in his monthly report,
also cited the reduction in occupa-
ton costs for the Austrian govern
ment as one of the significant ac-
complishments. Occupation costs,
which up to February had been
running as high as so per cent of
the Austrian budget. have now been
limited to 35 per cent of the budget
by action of the Allied Council, Gen.
Clark said. The Russian claims for
occupation costs usually have been
highest.
Gen. Clark said the food ration
for the normal consumer in Austria
was being raised from $50 calories
an May to approximately 1900
.calories in June.
