stand by identifying three slugs,
and two fragments of another, as
the bullets he took from the heads
Of the two murdered men in an
autopsy.
The 10 men and two women of
the jury were given an opportunity
theoretically to reconstruct the
crime during DR.. Murphy's hour on
the stand, as the photographs of
the trailer Office on the parking lot
where the bodies were found and
the material used in binding the
victims were shown.
DR.. Murphy testified that Mr..
Casbarian, former Interior Depart
ment employe who conducted a
rooming house next door to the
parking lot, had an overcoat when
found dead. Mr.. Barker, who loaned
money on automobiles in the trailer
office, did not have an overcoat on.
This and other testimony of DR..
Murphy's was consistent with the
police theory that Mr.. Barker, who
was often observed loaning money
or purchasing cars from large roll
of bills in his pockets, was the OBJ
ject of the robbery and that Mr..
Casbarian entered while it was in
progress. Mr.. Barker's pockets
were inside out. Mr.. Casbarian's
pockets, apparently untouched, con-
tanned a SIS bill and some change.
Believes Ring Removed.
DR.. Murphy testified he observed
4 white area on the ring finger of
Mr.. Barker's left hand, indicating
removal of a ring customarily worn.
There is evidence in the record that
Connors pawned a large diamond
shortly after the crime. The dia-
nond was redeemed later, but
leither the diamond nor the ring
las been recovered.
Mr.. Barker's hands were bound
behind his back with adhesive tape,
;he deputy coroner said. There
we're bits of cotton batting in the
mouth, he said, and more tape
about the mouth. (Miss Adelaide
5turgis, a neighbor, who discov-
cred the bodies, told police she
lad removed cotton gag, bound
With tape, from Mr.. Barker's
nouth.) Mr.. Barker's feet were
bound with strips cut from the
blanket on the daybed in the trailer,
he deputy coroner continued. Both
bullet holes in Mr.. Barker's head
lad powder burns-the bullets had
,een fired from less than 18 inches,
Dr.. Murphy said.
One of the bullet holes in Mr..
Casbarian's head was without pow
Ter marks, showing the bullet was
fired at more than 18 inches, the
witness testified. The other had
powder burns about it, he Said.
Mr.. Casbarian's hands and feet
we're bound with strips from the
blankets, he said.
The blanket strips were shown
20 the jurors. They had been cut
neticulously straight.

Western Front Unity Expected In Reds Case Against Greece

might therefore be disregarded After the Ukrainian case is finished, GromykoS proposal on the armed forces was expected to meet stub born American and British opposi- tton.
 One reason for this opposition is that the Soviet plan would make public full data on U. s. troops in China and Iceland and British troops in Greece, Trans-Jordan and Iraq, but would not require Russia to discribe Red Army forces in the ex?enemy countries of eastern Europe.
 A second reason was that some of the delegates were irked by Gro- myko's departure from Council rules in introducing the Russian proposal without first submitting it in writ ing and circulating it for the re- quired three days.
 Shows No Sympathy
 In the Council action on the Ukrainian complaint, Johnson indi- cated no sympathy for the Ukrain- ian charges themselves and empha- sized his vote to place them on the agenda did not mean endorsement of the Ukrainian allegations.
 British Delegate Alexander Cado- gan and Dutch Delegate Eelco van Kleffens contended consistently that the Ukrainian charges were mot substantiated' and designed merely to annoy" Britain and use the Council as a sounding board.
 Gromyko argued, however, that this argument was "an old trick" used in the past to avert Council action in the cases of British troops in Greece, the Franco government in Spain, British and French troops in Syria and Lebanon, and the situ- ation in Indonesia. The Councils final action in each of these cases was far from satisfactory to the So- viet Union.

Jinnoh Says Russia Eyes India Affairs Warns Brifons
 Against Policy
 Toword MosIems

Bombay, Sept. 4. (UP)-M. A. Jinnah leader of the Moslem League, said in an exclusive inter- view with the United Press today that Russia has more than g. spec tator's interest" in India and charged that if Britain pursued an anti-Moslem policy in India and the middle East it might have "very serious and dangerous" conse- quences.
 Jinnah pointed out that Russia "is not very far from India" and said:
 Tt is a serious menace and if Britain pursues the present policy of completely eliminating the Mos lems not only in India but from the entire Middle East, in my opin- ion, 1t Is very serious and danger ous policy to pursue. Has No Assurance
 Jinnah asserted that he could place no assurance in the state ments of the All India Congress promising equal treatment for Mos lems and challenged the assertion of Mohandas K. Gandhi that the Congress could never ally itself Britain against the Moslems.
 Discussing the spreading riots in Bombay and Calcutta, Jinnah said

United Nations Headquarters, Lake Success, N. r., Sept. 4 - CUP) The western powers were expected to present united front in the United Nations Security Council to- day against the Ukraine's charge that Greece and Britain threaten peace in the Balkans.
 The western powers split, tempo rarily, last night over whether the Security Council should hear the charge. The United States and France voted to permit Ukra1n1an Foreign Minister Dmitri Manuilski and Russian Delegate Andre1 A. Gromyko to place the complaint on the Council agenda. Britain, back ed by the Dutch, opposed considera-- tion of the complaint "in it's present form" The vote was ' to 2 W1th Australia and Brazil abstaining.
 Now that the Ukraines right to have it's complaint heard has been affirmed, the United States - and presumably France-were expected to oppose the charge this afternoon when the Council convenes at 3:45 |P. M, EDT., to examine the details of the complaint.
 Charges Minorities Suppressed
 The complaint charges that the Greek monarchy threatens peace in the Balkans by suppressing minor ities within Greece and infringing on the sovereignty of neighbor1ng countries, especially Albania. It de- scribed the presence of British troops in the only Balkan country not dominated by Russia as "the principal factor" in this alleged threat to the peace.
 Herschel V. Johnson, D. s. dele gate and a leading advocate of placing the complaint on the agenda, served notice to Manuilski and Gromyko that unless they proved their charges he will move for summary dismissal" of the case without regard for "the feelings or

 New York, Sept. 4.-(UP)-The number of American millionaire" business enterprises, which ex- banded steadily during the war years, has remained unchanged since the end of World War II, a study by United Press disclosed today. :,
 Although the number remained unchanged from year ago at 43, there were several changes in the roster of financial, commercial and industrial giants with resources ot $1 ,OOO, 900 900 or more. :.
 Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Ford Motor Company and First National Bank became peacetime casualties when their total assets dropped be low the billion-dollar mark.
 These Join Select Group New additions to the select cir cle of business "billionaires" were Mutual Benefit Life Insuprance Company, Penn Mutual Life 1nsur- ance Company and Northwest Bank Corporation. The last named &C., tually had assets of more tehan $l,- oO0. COG, 900 before the last U. P. sur vey a year ago, but figures were not available in time for inclusion in the 1945 list.
 The elimination of Bethlehem Ford and First National of N. Y, reflected the wars end. This same factor also caused declines in as- sets of many railroads and manu- lecturers of war materials.
 The end of the war brought huge cutbacks and cancellations of mili- tary contracts and accelerated amortization of defense facilities. These facilities were written off by railroads and others following Presi- dent Truman's proclamation of Sept. 29, 1945, in which he declared that such facilities no longer were necessary in the interest of na- tional defense.
 Totail combined assets of the 4S enterprises amounted to $l0l, ,8O8,- SIS. All on the basis of latest avail able statistics compared with $97,- 731 561, ,226 for the 43 on Dec. 3l, 1944.
 Of the 43 "billionaires," IS were banks, II insurance companies, six railroads, five industrial or manu- featuring corporations and three utilities.
 Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany topped the billion dollar list for the third successive year.
 Prudential Third
 The insurance company had to- tai assets of $7,561 ,997, ,270 and was followed by the Bell System-Amer- ican Telephone & Telegraph Com pany and It's telephone subsidiaries with $6,t
 with $6, ,765 ,557, ,o26 in resources. Prudential insurance was third with S6, 355, ,984, ,306.
 Fourth on the roster and first among the worlds commercial banks was Bank of America, NIT & SA. with $5,554 4310,000. Chase National Bank of the City of New York ran next with $5,403, SAT, 900.

pride of the complainant or any supporter of the complainant"
 The U. s. and Britain, with active backing from the Netherlands, were expected to drive for the same Solu- ton reached six months ago in Lon don when Russia sought Council &C., ton with respect to British troops in Greece. At that time the Council closed the case by adopting an in- nocuouS resolution which merely noted that English soldiers still were in Greece.
 Manuilski, armed with two suit cases of evidence related to his complaint, and Greek Ambassador Vassili Dendramis were scheduled to take seats at the Council table and participate in the discussion. An extended preview of Manuilski's s argument was presented by Gro- myko Friday, when he lost his fight to get a hearing for the Ukrainian in advance of the Greek plebiscite last Sunday; and again yesterday, when the Russian delegate attacked Greek and British policy in the Bal kans.
 Reds Pull Another Out of Bag
 In addition to the prospect of long arguments over the Ukrainian com- plaint, the Council faced decision on another matter which has not yet been placed on the agenda-the surprise Russian request that the Council demand from all the United Nations reports on the disposition and size of armed forces in foreign countries other than former enemy states.
 It was likely that the Ukrainian case would be finished first, because Manuilski left the Paris Peace Con- ference to present his governments case personally. Still to be dispensed with, however, was Greek request for 1o-day delay in consideration of the complaint - request which already is 10 days old itself and
