-Four Officers Refuse
TO Answer Questions
In lichfieId Trial
By the Assoeioted Press

; BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, JUNE
i2.-Four officers accused of cruelty
to soldier prisoners in United
States Army gHardhouse at Lichfield
England. refused today to answer
questions which they said might
tend to incriminate them.
Among them was Col. James A
Kilian of Highland Park. Ill. former
commander of the 10th Replacement
Depot at Lichfeld.
The others We're Maj. Richard E
Lobuono of East Pittsburgh, Pa.
former provost marshal at the depot
Maj Herbert W. Bluhm of Chicago
former depoteinspecting officer; ano
1t. Leonard w. Ennis of Peekskill
n. Y, former Lichfield executive
officer.
- Ennis has been on trial two weeks
Kilian's trial is due to begin June
II. No date has been set for the
trials of Bluhm and Lobuono.
All were summoned as defense
witnesses in the trial of 1t. Gran
vile Cubage of Oklahoma City.
- DeclQeS 10 answer.
- The court, giving the witnesses
-"the benefit of the doubt as to the
propriety" of some questions, up
held all their refusals except one.
= When Ennis refused to say from
whom he received his orders at
Ilchfield, the court ruled it proper
question and threatened him with
military punishment if he did not
,answer-just as it had previously
Threatened 10 enlisted men who re-
fused to testify.
Ennis at first stood pat and the
Court instructed the prosecutor to
report him to the commanding gen.
-eral for discipline. But after con-
Herring with his attorney, Ennis
decided to answer.
= He said he received orders from
-Kilian, Lobuono and from his COM
-pany commander, Capt. Joseph A.
Robertson of Akron, Ohio, who also
awaits trial on cruelty charges and
similarly refused to answer some
questions yesterday.
Il was told about running the
-guardhouse by 1t. Cubage," Ennis
added.
Most Of the questions at which the
witnesses baked concerned the
chain Of command and the respon-
sibility for discipline of Lichfeld
- prisoners. Numerous witnesses have
testified the prisoners were beaten
! and given other cruel punishments
: Second Refusal by KiIian.
: The defense has contended that
. Cubage was not prison officer" as
q alleged and that he was not re-
r sponsible for the discipline of pris-
'oners
Z 1t was Kilian's second refusal to
talk. Both he and Blum at first
said they did not fear incrimina-
ton, but claimed the right to refuse
to testify under the fifth and sixth
amendments to the United States
Constitution.
When the court informed them
that as Army officers they could not
claim that privilege, they cited the
oath article of war, which permits
military witnesses to remain silent
if their testimony might tend to in
, criminate or degrade them.
Ennis heard seven soldiers testify
yesterday that he had kicked and
struck prisoners during the war, but
his defense counsel forced several
of the witnesses to admit conflicts
In their testimony.

Stores in Pittsburgh
Install Generators,
viii Reopen Monday
BY The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-Down-
town department stores today
planned to reopen Monday In the
first concerted move to resume nor
NAL operations despite the Gripping
12-day power strike.
The retail merchants association
said the stores are installing emer-
gency generators to permit them to
operate and end the strike-made
layof1s of more than 10000 employees
AS the stores made plans to coun-
teract effects of the power walk
out, a public rally was scheduled
for tomorrow to protest the strike
of $500 members Of the Duquesne
Light Co. Independent Union.
Federal conciliation efforts today
still failed to bring the union and
the company together. The COM
pany has insisted on arbitration to
settle the wage dispute. This, the
union fatty refuses.
Strike Drags On.
Meanwhile, the strike dragged on
in the 817-square mile area served
by Duquesne Light. In most sec
tions, residents had electricity in
their homes, but streets were pitch
black and nocturnal travellers did
well to carry flashlights.
Streetcars and busses-principal
means of transportation for some
900 600 riders-were still tied up by
refusal of motormen and drivers to
cross picket lines set up by the
power strikers.
The striking Duquesne Light en-
ployes seek a 20 per cent wage in
crease, raising base pay levels from
$1.18 to $1.41 an hour. The coma
pany has offered per cent.

rector in Western Pennsylvania for

joined his organization.
Reporting the rebellious group
voted last night to afdliate with
the mine workers, Mr.. Gallagher
said: I'VE Immediately accept the
