Jackson Tells Court
OF Goering Threats
AGAINST Schacht
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

NUREMBERG, April 24.-Jus-
tice Robert H. Jackson told the
international Military Tribunal
today that threats had been
uttered "in this courtroom this
morning" against DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht, former Reichsbank
president, and a Gestapo officer
who was about to testify.
The American prosecutors as
Sertion threw the courtroom into
turmoil, just as the Gestapo officer,
Hans Bern Won Gisevius, attempted
to testify.
The witness barely had started to
mention conversation he had
overheard between Otto Stahmer
attorney for Hermann Goering, and
Rudolf Dix, counsel for Schacht,
when Stahmer leaped to his feet
protesting.
He objected to testimony con-
corning private conversation,
but Mr.. Jackson intervened to say:
This incident was reported to me
and I think it important that the
tribunal know of threat against
Gisevius made in this courtroom
this morning-against him and the
defendant, Schacht.'
Tells of Talk With Goering.
Stahmer then told the court he
had discussed Gisevius' impending
appearance at the trial with Goer-
ing last night and that Goering had
told him he was intent on keeping
out of the testimony any reference
to the late Field Marshal Werner
Won Blomberg's marriage.
"Goering said Schacht was expect
ed to speak about this thing,
Stahmer declared He said then he
would drop any consideration for
Schacht. That is what told DR.
Dix. I did not even know Gisevius
was present"
Dix then told the court that Stah-
mer came to him and said:
Listen. Goering has the point of
view that Gisevius can attack him
as much as he pleases but if he at
tacks the dead Blomberg, then Goer-
ing will tell things about Schacht
and several things against Schacht
that will be dangerous"
Dix asserted that he subsequently
told Gisevius of this conversation
since the witness already had heard
bits of it.
Gisevius began lashing at Goerine
from the time he started testifying
He said he had not intended to men,
ton Won Blomberg's marriage-an
act which caused Hitler to remove
the field marshal as Minister OF
War in 1938-but had planned to
speak of other matters involving
Won Blomberg.
i know why Goering doesn't want
me to speak about this because it is
the worst deed he has ever done
the Gestapo officer said "Goering
here is using a cloak of chivalry to
try to silence me-"
The court ruled that Gisevius
should proceed with his story.
Wilhelm Frick, refusing to take the
witness stand. began his defense by
submitting documentary evidence
designed to show he had been hood
Winked by Adolf Hitler.
He was the eighth defendant to
present his case and the first since
Rudolf Hess to refuse to testify in
his own behalf. An American pros
ecution source described Prick as
frightened" but his defense coun-
sci denied this and said Frick
planned to call but one witness.

servers report that Nationalist troops have been fully redeployed on a line above Kaiyuan, 60 miles north of Mukden. Achievements, including the American.trained, American-arned new First Army under Gen. Sun L-jen, and the 6oth Army. commanded by Gen. Tseng Tso-sheng, are moving northward above Changshun.
 The most reliable estimates place the force facing Harbin at about eo,o00 well trained troops Repairs are being rushed on the Suneari River railway bridge 90 miles south of Harbin.
 Ringing Yenan are Gen. Yen Mings 90th, Gen Liaoang's 18th and Gen. Lo Lieh's First armies to the south; Gen. Lin -tseng's 4Srd to the east and Gen. Tso Shih- yun's demoralized 22nd to the north.
 Despite Communist claims the most reliable information indicates that no actual concentrated attack has been launched by the National ists. However the Nationalists are edging in in hopes of striking a quick. crushing blow. Reactionary Nationalists believe that if Yenan can be smashed the blow to Com munist prestige would be fatal.
 Fear Guerilla Warfare
 Moderate clements in the Kuo- mintang, however, are dubious Of the advisability of this policy, hold ing that it would end forever all hope of a political settlement and commit China to an interminable guerilla warfare which would wreck China's badly strained economy.
 However, Gen. Chiang Kai-shek boasted to the paciflcation confer ence at Nanking that the Commun- ists could be eliminated militarily in five months while it would take five years to do the job politically Gen. Chen Cheng. Chinese chief oi staff, made a similar statement al Peipine.

 You'll not see 'em in fond em- brace in the public prints, but that's because they took the photogra- phers unaware. The latter begged 'em to shake hands and show their smiles again for posterity's sake, but they wouldn't do 1t.

 The gas will begin to flow within week. Could be that some of it may be cooking the dinners of some striking coal miners in a couple of weeks.
 The miners quit digging coal.

 This went on for 30 minutes. Rep. Slaughter thanked Krug for coming, but Krug said he wasn't through. He said he'd heard some where that Congress felt he'd in- suited it last Friday.

Regional SEA Gets Appeals
Emergency Coal Deliveries Made

Boston, Dec. 3-(UP)-New Eng land appealed for emergency sup- plies of fuel today as freezing tenn peratures further aggravated in- dustrial and domestic hardships caused by current coal and oil strikes.
 Regional Solid Fuels Administra- tor Borden Covel said he had re- ceived 90 requests for emergency allotments of soft coal from public and industrial services in Massa- chusetts, Vermont and New Hamp- shire. He authorized special sup- plies" for two Beverly Schools, the Ipswich town hall and laundries and dairies in western Massachusetts.
 Covel said pickets at the strike bound Cambridge and Chelsea plants of the American oil Co.,, were allowing oil to be transported through their lines for delivery to hospitals, police and fire depart ments and public utility companies.
 Meanwhile, Massachusetts Fuel Conservator Edward P. Barry said he had been informed by the Mari time Commission that 50 tankerS would be available this month tc carry emergency supplies of fuel oil, some of them to New England ports. He said he would call @ meeting today to complete state. wide coal and oil inventory.
 Tn Massachusetts, all permits fol use of state armorieS for other thar military purposes will be cancelled for the duration of the coal short age" Barry said. He said other New England states probably would take similar action.
 Compliance was reported gen. orally good" as the dimout entered its second week in New England.

COnant Warns Universities To Drop Federal Research

Boston, Dec. S-CUPl-The na- tions universities and colleges were warned today by President James B. Conant of Harvard Go accept little or no secret research" spou- sored by the Government after formal termination of the war.
 Though Conant praised the war time cooperation between the Gov ernment and institutions of higher learning, he indicated in an address at the 27th annual meeting of the Eastern Association of College ana University Business Officers here last night that colleges must guard against excessive intervention in their post-war affairs.
 Conant said that well conceived projects sponsored by the Govern ment" would be beneficial but added how they come to us will be the problem"
 Future Universities Affected
 The war, he said, brought Feeder. al financing into both the research and academic aspects of university operations and presented education al institutions with entirely new problems"
 The solution of these problems, l.e said, would determine the na- ture of universities in the future. !"
 A similar problem, Conant told officers representing l50 colleges East of the Mississippi, was posed by the present federally- financed veterans education program.
 Limitations Urged
 Under such impetus, he said, it would be possible to train too many people in too specialized ways and so, as in Germany after the last war, have chronic unemploy- ment in the professions.
 Conant recommended that future Federal "scholarships" be limited to a few specialized professions un. der 6 highly selective system SC that the nation may benefit iron the best talents it has to offer.
 He believed the current increased demand for higher education as re suit of the CT educational bill woulS continue because education is { very contagious business"

Lake Success, N. Y, Dec. 3-CUP) Many small nations conceded to. day they had lost their fight against the big five. veto, but Australia grimly stuck to her demand that the LIN General Assembly at least criticize the way the veto had been used.
 As a l4-man subcommittee strug- gled with numerous resolutions and amendments aimed at resolving the issue, Australia,s Paul Haluck con- tinued to match strong verbs with Soviet Vice Foreign Minister Andrie Vishinsky over what the Assembly should say-if anything-about the way the big powers should use their special voting privilege in the Secur- ity Council.
 Vishinsky listed three main points for any final draft which Soviet Russia would consided: Pull respect for the un-

 Hasluck said he failed to see much effort at compromise by Vishinsky. Adding that he was willing to let a three-paragraph Russian statement go into his own resolution, but that Vishinsky, ac- cepted only about "i0 percent" of the Australian proposal.
 We would have been justified in using even harsher words" Hasluck said. Tn fact, am amazed at my own moderation"
 Hasluck added that if the United Nations were to take any action at all, it must be based on concern with how the Security Council has worked in the past.

Shanghai, Dec. 3 --tUP)-- Just five years after Pearl Harbor Chinas Nationalist armies today have been drawn up in battle ar- ray and deployed for all-out war fare against the Chinese Commun- ists the moment the signal to ate tack is given.
 The preparations for war, which many here -- both Chinese and Americans--believe virtually inevit- able, have been carried out on an extensive scale.
 Nationalist troops have been moved into Manchuria and massed along the outer defenses of the Communist stronghold of Yenan. Top-level Nationalist commanders have conferred on strategy and tac- tics and the bristling statements of the militariSts are drowning out appeals to the Communists to make peace and join in the disputed na- tional assembly.
 Communists May Give Signal
 The signal for war may come from the Communists. If, as seems fair ly certain, the Communists declare that a national split" exists, the fight probably will be on.
 At the moment the initiative ap- pears to rest with the Communist leader. Chou En-lai who is back in Yenan, pondering whether further talks are possible on any basis and whether the Government cease-flre order and offer Of seats in the Ma tional Assembly finally will be re- jected.
 The Nationalists are poised to strike a double blow at the Com- munists:
 FIRST, in Manchuria, where the cream of Nationalist military power is massed for a drive on Harbin.
 SECOND, in Shensi, where Ma tionalist troops have moved up fol prestige-shattering blow against Yenan.
 Preparations for these moves arl well advanced.
