India Lawyers .Opposed
To The Jury System

MADURA, India.-(APl.-The
lawyers conference of Madras
province, one of the most reput-
able Illegal organizations in India,
has appealed for abolition of the
jury System on the grounds that
the evils it leads to "are much
greater than the benefits"
Numerous publications have
claimed that the jury system,
brought in by the British, was not
suited to the Indian mentality.
Most commentators have as
serted that the opportunity for
fixing" a jury was much greater
than fixing" a judge, and that
juries in India are more inclined
TO be biased toward friends and
neighbors.

COnchs Aim TO Get Back In
Win Column In Saints Game
Anxious to get back in the wiz

{ Anxious to get back in the win
column after suffering their sec
ond one-point defeat of the sea-
son, Key West Highs Conchs
looked forward today to its games
with Saints Peter and Paul High
of Miami tomorrow and with the
powerful Vero Beach High five
Saturday.
Both games will be played on
the high school court here. The
game tomorrow will be preceded
by a High School Varsity Girls
game and that Saturday by Jun
Tor Varsity contest, the high school
reported. Both preliminaries start
at Tbs pm.
Coach N. H. Pepper put his
charges through some extended
workouts yesterday in an effort
to find his best combination. 1t
appeared probable that Captain
Bernie Papy, Jr., at forward: Al
PARA at center and Galley Sweet
ing and Oscar Cruz at the guard
posts would again be in the start
ing lineup.
The other forward position re-
manned a question-mark. Big Bob
Parks was benched in last weeks
game against Gesu High of Mi
ami, after failing to score from
the floor in a game which the vis-
itors won, 40 to 80. None of his
substitutes were much improved,
however, so Parks may still get
the starting call on the assump-
ton he may have been off his
game.
Veteran basketball fans who
have been watching the Conchs
this season are profuse in voicing
credit due 1t. GustituS and Pap

kiNGF1SH, MA CKEREL FISHERMEN

The production of Spanish and
king mackerel has picked up
somewhat since the recent
..nerther'', fishermen said today,
but it is far below normal.
On Sunday, $4,000 pounds of
fish were brought in by boats of
the East Coast Fisheries at Mar
athon, Howard Williams, mana
ger, said. Of the total, 1900 were
silver mullet most of which were
shipped promptly to Georgia and
1000 were Spanish mackerel.
most of which went to New York
by railroad refrigerator car after
being taken to Miami by truck.
Williams said his best catch of
the season occurred one day last
month when Joe FELTON,, Nor
wood Roberts and Clyde Thomp-
son brought in 1900 pounds of
Spanish nackerel. Monday the
same trio brought in 500 pounds;
it was the first time they had
been out in number of days.
Williams said prospects are
bad" for better production.
'Kingfish for boats out of Key
West might pick up, he said,
but. it looks as though the Span
ish mackerel are about through"
He said the fishermen were get
ting IL cents pound at the start
of the season but the price drop
ped to ten cents and they are now
getting 8.
Jack Thompson of Thompson's
Fish dock here said the catch
lis very poor. Solomon Bowe

pounds of kingfish from No

BY the Asseeiosed Press

BOSTON. June 10.-Federsl Judge
Francis j. w. Ford is expected to
rule today on the admissibility OF
a 4s-Bage statement which Douglas
Chandler. charged with treason, is
alleged to have made to a special
agent of the Federal Bureau of IN
vestigation.
j. Eldon Dunn of Salt Lake City
testified yesterday that the former
Baltimore newspaper man made the
statement of his activities in Ger
many after he was brought back to
Washington last December.
The 14-man jury sitting on
Massachusetts first treason trial
was excused from the courtroom
while Mr.. Dunn was on the stand.
The contents of the statement were
not disclosed.
The defendant is accused of Civ
ing aid and comfort to the enemy
by making records for the German
radio under the name Paul Revere. >

In the Berlin propaganda Office, al
whose home Chandler allegedly pre-
pared some of his broadcasts, testi-

'AFL Sends EmissarY
To New Phone Union
Nv N. Axsar;ofsd Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, June 10
The new Communications Workers
of America Union today appeared
on the verge of receiving its first
invitation to join some other labor
group.
Dan Tracy, president of the AFL' S
International Brotherhood OF Elec-
trical Workers, has sent Harry
Broach of Washington as emissary
to the CWA convention here.
It is likely that Mr.. Broach brings
Ia tentative offer to the one -day-old
telephone union to join the electri-
cal workers and that the CWA will
consider the terms of the offer. 1t
also will consider proposal from
some of its own members to become
a CIO union.
The confusing contest to capture
telephone workers is an aftermath
of the long telephone strike OF
April and May.
The CIO has set up the Tele-
phone Workers Organizing Com
mittee and some telephone unions
are leaning toward that.
The CWA's temporary president
Joseph A. Beirne. lambasted the
TWOC in a speech yesterday, and
of the AFL Electrical Workers, he
said they had started newspaper
advertising campaign to attract
telephone workers. Mr.. Bierne said
this drive, however, cannot accom-
plish much.

The board ruled the probable

By the Assoeioted Press

Three Republican Senators
called today for a full-scale in
vestigatfon into reports that the
United States has redeemed mil
lions of dollars worth of German
occupation money printed by
Russian authorities.
The three lawmakers - Senators
Bridges of New Hampshire, Fergu-
son of Michigan and Knowland Of
California-told a reporter in sepa-
rate interviews that they under
stood the plates to print the Ger
man marks were given to the Rus
slams by American officials.
| Uses for the ocupation money in
cluded payments to Allied troops.
Earlier reports have said that the
Russian soldiers - drawing large
amounts of back pay-paid fabulous
black market prices to American
GIs for such items as wrist watches
and trinkets.
The GIS, in turn, converted the
occupation marks into dollars.
The trade became so brisk that
American authorities resorted to
several methods for discouraging
the marks to dollars conversion.
Finally script system was devised
to replace the occupation currency.
A War Department statement on
April 81, prompted by reports that
the loss to the Treasury on these
black market dealings might exceed
$500, 5000 acknowledged that the
Army had accumulated a surplus of
German currency.
The present holdings do. not,
( however, exceed future contem-
plated expenditures" the statement
I said, adding
"A complete report on the acqui-
sition and disposal of these hold
ings is presently being prepared
for the information of the appropri-
ate committees OF Congress"
No such report has come to light
on Capitol Hill.
In Berlin, authorized American
sources said today that $500 900. 900
would be an intelligent guess as
to the loss to the Treasury.
Treasury said reports of possible
loss or more than $500, 200, 900 were
greatly exaggerated.
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
Appropriations Committee. said, MY
information is that between $400.-
100000 and 100000, 900 worth of
this money has been, or is being
redeemed with, American dollars" :"
Il have been told that this re-
demption is being carried as a
hidden deficit and some Senate
committee certainly must look into
this he added.
Senator Ferguson, a member Of
the Senates special War Investi-
eating Committee, SAID he had been
unable Ito get all the facts regard
ing this from either the War De-
partment or the Treasury"
We did learn that the plates to
print the invasion money were
turned over to the Russians" Sena-
tor Ferguson said, but we have not
been able to learn how much money
was made, how it was distributed
and how much Is to be redeemed"
Senator Knowland, a member of
both the War Investigating and Ap-
