Trial Of Col. Durant
Halted Pending Action
On Missing Notes
By W. H. shippen, Jr.

W. -. S'kPS5J -
Another recess was ordered today
In the trial of Col. Jack w. Durant
in the Hesse jewel theft case to
allow the Army court-martial board
to consider what shall be done about
a missing section of the trial rec
ord and other points raised by coun-
sci for both sides.
The defense. headed by Maj. Jo-
geph Bryan, has indicated a move
will be made for "raistrial" In the
event the missing section cannot be
produced. Maj. Joseph S. Robinson
of prosecution counsel insists the
stenographic notes taken during
brief testimony at one day of the
trial are "unimportant" to the issue
of Col. Durant's guilt or innocence.
Another question under conten-
ton Is whether the War Department
will release for use of the defense
q confidential" report OF agents of
the Army's Criminal Investigation
Division.
Defense Demands Report.
This reporte Maj. Bryan contends,
was used by the prosecution in direct
examination of one of its key wit
nesses, 1t. Col. Ralph Pierce of the
CID. The defense, therefore, is
demanding the report before pro-
ceeding with the cross-examination
Of Col. Pierce.
Maj. Robinson has told the court
that the defense request for this
document was overruled by the
provost marshal general on the
ground it was "eonfidential." The
defense has intimated the disputed
report might contain evidence Of
third degree" methods.
The prosecution is convinced there
is excellent legal authority against
making a public document of a
CONFIDENTIAL report on, criminal
investigation on the ground that the
paper might contain references to
innocent persons and other infor-
nation which should not be di-
vulged. The defense request has
been referred to higher authority
In the War Department.
Affidavits Obtained.
Meanwhile, the prosecution Is
holding up completion of its case
until the question can be decided.
The board also has under considera-
ton aff1davits of Pentagon employees
as to how the section of the record
F. was lost.
A lieutenant colonel, it was said,
noticed a dictation machine in an
Office just vacated by the prosecu-
tion staff. He needed 1t for his own
staff and was said to have author
lied stenographer to remove the
machine, which contained notes
from the Durant trial. The notes
were not preserved and apparently
have been lost permanently.
The defense has announced it is un-
certain If witnesses will be put on
the stand in behalf of Col. Durant
and indicated that, when the prose-
cution rests, a motion will be put
for what is equivalent to q mistrial
in civil court, or for a verdict Of
acquittal.

lof life from paralyzing the coun-
try"
''You mean we should have just
q lot Of wrestling around?" Mr..
Lewis asked.
you have the ability to con-
tribute so much II you would throw
|it in the right direction instead of
using it to fight the Government -
remarked Senator Smith.
"If all Of us read the Bible, all
OF us would be helped by It," re-
piled Mr.. Lewis. I'VE are all hui
man. I read 1t and sometimes for
get to abide by 1t. Suppose I do
abide by 1t and then someone takes
q ball bat and hits me in the ribs.
He hadn't read the Bible
Meanwhile, Ira Mosher, chairman
of the Executive Committee Of the
National Association Of Manufac-
turers, cited the Supreme Courts
decision In the Lewis case as def
mite proof" new labor laws are
needed.
Testifying before the House Labor
Committee. Mr.. Mosher said the de-
cision absolutely dramatizes the ne
cessity for legislation"
When all the opinions are ana
lyzed, he said, it is clear that only
five justices held the Government
was entitled to any injunction.
That leaves 'the whole thing on a
very uncertain basis" Mr.. Mosher
added.
He said the ruling doesn't give
the public any assurance of protec-
ton against civil crisis In the fu-
ture" because the law permitting
Federal seizure Of struck plants ends
June 80.
As required by Senate rules, Mr..
Lewis prepared his statement for
the committee In advance. It was on
paper before the Supreme Courts
surprise decision was announced yes
terday afternoon. Hence the UNIV
leader did not touch In his written
testimony on the tribunals ruling
against him, but he did quote from
another court opinion many years
ago.
That opinion was by the late
Chief Justice william Howard Taft,
father of Senator Taft. It held that
strikes are lawful and necessary to
win share of the "joint product Of
labor and capital"
Mr.. Lewis commented, "It would
be hypocrisy, however, to concede
these rights to labor and then to
prohibit any effective exercise of
these rights by labor" He added:
Certainly when industry and fin
ance in this country call on legisia-
tive instrumentalities Of the Govern
ment to enact laws to restrain labor
and neutralize Its strength, they are
guilty Of the first step toward crea-

gress will eliminate many small tax
payers.
In the Post Office section of the
bill, the House COMMITTEES made
some reduction below budget es-
Inmates in virtually every item. but
they all added up to less than per
cent of the estimates.
Although the bill was reported to
the House today, 1t will not be taken
up for debate until Monday.
Operating Costs Vulnerable.
The committee pointed out in It's
report that even in considering the
$1,671 ,317,500 the Treasury Is getting
from Congress, only about $425 ,000,-
600 represents the actual control
liable operating expenses of the de-
partment-the balance being tax and
custom refunds and similar non
operating items. It was in bringing
the Treasury's operating costs down
to $425 ,000,00 that the committee |
made the 16 per cent saving.
'AOn some few appropriations the
action may appear drastic" the
committees view that no reduction
has been made which would curtail
any vital public service, and such
decreases are justified by the insis-
tent demand of the American public
for a decided curtailment in the ex-
penditures Of the Federal Govern
ment, in order that the stability of
OUR Government might not be
threatened by program of fiscal
profigacy."
Evidence of Laxness Sought.
in commenting on the possibility
of reductions in personnel, the COM
mittee said in this first 1948 bill:
"The committee makes no mass
indictment of Government officials
for laxity in administration or for
employe shortcoming. 1t is recog-
nized that a majority OF the serv-
ants of the Government are loyal,
hard-working, conscientious, and
give a days service for a days pay.
It is known, however, that there is
both overstaffing and degree of un-
justiflable Incidence manifest in the
operations of some Government
agencies and bureaus. Scores of
letters received daily by the Appro-
priations Committee bear testimony
to this fact. Observation confirms
1t. The committee is making every
effort to ferret out the information
that will permit this abuse to be
corrected"
