u. 5. Exports Decline
Again During July
BY the Associated Press

United States exports declined
during July for the second consecu-
tive month after long and steady
postwar rise, the Census Bureau re-
ported today.
The bureau said July exports were
valued at $1,151 600, 900, a drop of
II per cent from the June total of
81 PAL TOO, 600, and 10 per cent below
the postwar high of $1,421 ,800, 900
in May.
This decline accentuated the re-
ports of mounting crisis in Europe
over a shortage of dollars to con-
tinue buying United States goods
needed to spur the work of recovery
from war devastation.
Meanwhile, United States imports
also declined slightly in July, drop
ping to $449, 900, 900 from 1856, ,0O0, 900
in June.
Commercial exports Gall foreign
shipments except those under lend
lease, UNRRA or other aid pro-
grams from the United States de-
clined to $1,124, 100000 in July from
81 POI SOC, 900 in June.
Exports under the UNRRA pro-
gram wer eoff from $39,800,000 in
June to s25 300 900 in July, but lend
lease export" increased from $780,
900 in June to $1,200,000 in July.
The bureau said the July figures
did not include $4,000, 900 worth of
shipments made during the month
under the Greek Turkish aid pro-
gram.

7 Army Men Say Gascoigne
Struck Private at PW Camp
BY the Associated Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Sept. 5.-A
Navy court martial board trying 1t.
q. g. Richard Gascoigne of Lorain,
Ohio, on charges of mistreating fel-
low prisoners in Japan was told yes
terday by two Army sergeants that
Gascoigne struck an Army private
without any apparent provocation.
Both Sergt. James C. Stacey, 26,
of Hot Springs, Ark. and T/Sergt.
Donald E. Ker, IS, of Los Angeles,
testified they saw Gascoigne strike
and knock down Army Pvt. Ernest
Victor Arnaud at Camp II, Omuta,
Kyushu, Japan.
Kenneth w. Luton, 20, an Army
sergeant, testified that he had once
seen Gascoigne, who at the time
was an enlisted storekeeper, and an
other American mot Pvt. ArnauO
in a fst-flght at the camp.
This testimony was preceded by
statement by Maj. Achille c. Tis-
dale of Fort Benning, Ga, that
Gascoigne was generally steady
and cool in wartime, constantly in
the face of the enemy"
Maj. Tisdale, who was in command
of the prisoners at the camp, de-
voted much of his testimony to
conditions under which the men
lived. These conditions, he said,
forced the men to steal from hunger
and general want.
Gascoigne is charged in one of
four specifications with reporting
Army Corpl. James B. Wilson to the
Japanese for stealing salt from a
warehouse, thereby exposing Wilson
to unreasonable, cruel, brutal and
inhumane punishment.
