By HeHcopter I.
BY ths Asseeiossd Press

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Mar. 10,
Unable to receive regular deliv-
cries because Of q picket line, the
strike-bound Cornell -Dublier Elec-
tric Corp. plant has hired a hell
copter to get raw materials into the
yards.
The heiicopter made several flights
with raw materials to the plant
yesterday and a management
spokesman said that finished cleo
trical products also would be de-
livered by air unless the 80 strik-
ing drivers, warehousemen, stock
room clerks and checkers return to
work.
The spokesman added that the
craft was hired for deliveries when
a shortage Of materials threatened
the Jobs Of the majority Of the COM
|pany,s $500 employees.
The striking workers, members of
the AFL Teamsters' Union, walked
out Wednesday over a wage dispute,
and approximately $50 other en-
ployes, members of the AFL Elec-
trical Workers Union, refused to
cross the picket lines.
Union and management officials
refused to give the exact issues OF
the strike.

Maj. Robinson said he proposed
to reconstruct the missing record in
two ways-first, through the indi-
vidua1 notes and memories of the
trial board and, second. by the re-
call Of witnesses to answer any
questions the defense might, wish
to ask ....
The eight-man board then with

The missing notes, it was said
deal with only part of the cross
examination of witnesses on one
day. The notes were lost when ar
Army officer appropriated" a steno.
graphic machine and turned it ovel
to his staff. The machine had beer
left in an Office from which the
prosecution staff had moved.
The court-martial, in progress
here for a month, was moved to
the Pentagon from Germany, where
two other alleged conspirators were
convicted. They were former WAC
Capt. Kathleen Nash, whom Col
Durant married in Chicago last
May, and Maj. David Watson.
Mrs. Durant and Maj. Watson re-

The chairman thus gave his
opinion Of the charges which have
been made against Mr.. Lilienthal
that he was too lenient, as chair
man Of the Tennessee Valley AL
thority, toward Communists.
Could Be Duplicated Anywhere.
In this connections Senator Hick-
enlooper said:
THE small number of Com
munists or Communist sympathizers
known to have been employed in
minor capacities in iva at one
time probably could be duplicated
in. any large employment operation
in the country, and could easily be
a matter that, at the time, might
not come directly to the attention
of the top executives"
Chairman Hickenlooper also an
nolnced that the nominations would
be reported to the Senate today and
that he would urge the nomination
of Mr. L:lienthal be made the un-
finished business of the Senate ir
executive session as soon as the two

Locomotive Engineers Open
Convention in Cleveland
By the Associuiad Press

CLEVELAND, Mar. l0.-About
$50 delegates representing $1,000
members of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers assembled here
today for their 10th triennial con-
vention.
A number of questions concerning
wages, working conditions and gen.
eral welfare of brotherhood menu
bers will come before the conven-
ton, including the question Of rules
revision, which caused brief rail-
road strike last year.
Negotiations on the rules got as
far as the Emergency Committee
appointed by President Truman, =
Alvanley Johnston, grand chief
engineer said. "Then we declared
a moratorium on the rules issue
for one year. That expires May %. .
When asked about the proposed
merger with the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, Mr.. Johnston said:
That has been talked about for
40 years. 1t has never gone beyond
the talking stage. There probably
will be some talk about it at the
convention"

3,5O0,0O0 Auto Output
Forecast by Buick Official
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 1o-The
automobile industry should pro-
duce s,5oo,ooo passenger cars dur
ing ls47. according to Harlow H,
Curtice, general manager of the
Buick Division Of General Motors
Corp.
That volume, compared with q
1916 output OF 2,2oo,oo0 cars. should
be attained if materials are avail
able and workers in the automo-
bile industry and supplying plants
stick to their Jobs" Mr.. Curtice
said in addressing a meeting OF
Southern California Buick dealers
today.
He said Buick, since 1888 fourth
largest producer in the industry
should substantially increase It's
output this year over the 158,72s
units built in 1916. He added, how
ever, that the postwar production
goal would not be reached until
some time in 11948."

numbers" he added.
Such relatively minor incidents,
said an army spokesman, were no
reason for putting back into effect
the house curfew In .Tef Aviv and
environs that was lifted last Nom
day after day and two nights of
strict enforcement.
The British, ruling Palestine,s
Arabs and Jews as q league manda-
tory power, today still maintained
the martial law imposed o week ago
on the Tel Aviv coastal region and
on Jerusalem's Mea Shearim Jew
ish district as the result of a Satur.
day night bombing Of British Of
ficers' club here with the loss OF 16
lives.
The ayowed aim Of the martial
law DEGREES Is to help the army
stamp out Irgun Zvai Leumi and
the so-called Stern Gang, also of
the Jewish underground.

republic owes America no special
consideration.
The constitutional amendment
would grant Americans equality of
business opportunities with Filipinos
for % years. Approval by Filipino
voters would make available $780,
1000 in American funds for re-
Mobilization and payment of war
damage claims. About 3,116,000 are
eligible to vote.
Laurel Is Opponent.
Mr.. Roxas' principal opponent
was DR.. Jose P. Laurel, wartime
puppet president charged with col
laboration.
DR.. Laurel contended that Amer
ican aid to the Philippines was a
moral obligation and should not
depend on approval of concessions
for United States investors.
He cited President Truman's COM
ment that Gen. Wainwright, who
surrendered at Corregidor, was the
victim of American unprepared-
ness" and recalled Gen. MacAr-
thurs statement as liberation forces
reached Santo Tomas prison camp:
II may be late, but have returned ~
Said DR.. Laurel: He was late
three and a half years late"
DR.. Laurel proposed seeking finan-
cial aid from the International
Bank of Reconstruction and Deve1-
opment.
Mr.. Roxas campaigned vigorously
from island to island for the parity
amendment, declaring that with
out its accompanying provisions for
free trade rehabilitation funds and
stabilization of the peso, the new
republic would be doomed to eco
non1ic chaos.
Negotiations for the lease of mill
tary bases in the islands for SO
years to the United States Army
Navy and Air Force, meanwhile were
virtually completed, but remained
in allegiance until after the election.
