Austria and San Marine
AppIy for u n. Membership
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, July 8.-Austris
applied for membership in the
United Nations yesterday and the
tiny San Marino Republic, offering
a character reference from Abraham
Lincoln, made preliminary step
toward the same goal.
The applications of two other
former Axis countries, Hungary and
Italy, already had passed in the
Council and now await committee
action at an appropriate time"
San Marino, a 38-square-mile re-
public of 14,545 population on the
Italian peninsula, asked in a letter
how to go about applying. 1t was
referred to the Charter-under
which it apparently would qualify
as a peace loving nation.
The letter was not made public
but a U. N. attache said it quoted
an old appraisal of San Marino by
Lincoln among its qualifications
for membership.

ants in courts martial"
In a letter to Secretary of War

CATION of Army military trial pro-

ing arrival of Earl j. Carroll and
Thomas Lester Foley, California

counsel for five prisoners then

Carroll as counsel in the court
martial of Col. James A. Kilian

case.
Mr.. Carroll, then an Army cap
tain. resigned as assistant prose-
cutor in the Lichfield trials after

thorities to whlteWash higher Off
GERS in the case. Col. Kilian was
later convicted and fined.

Gordon r. Clapp, chairman of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, at
tended a Commute White House

Army Courts in Europe Stacked
Against Accused, Senator Says

duct even more violent than those
of Carroll"
The routing slip continued:
TT is probable, in view of their
past conducts, that Carroll and
Foley will again use every device
known to clever civilian criminal
lawyers, to prolong trials unneces-
sarily and to introduce large masses
of evidence, which are irrelevant to
the issues in the trial, most serious
ly damaging to this command and
the Army
1T should be borne in mind that
if Carroll and Foley succeed in Sc
curing acquittals in all or some of
these cases, it is probable that their
services will be requested by other
accused and they will seek to re-
main in the theater indefinitely
practicing law.
This would give Carroll and
Foley considerable advantage over
other American lawyers, who are
not permitted to come here to prac-
.tice law, and would make them
semipermanent thorns in the side
of this command and theater."
Can Select Own Counsel.
The communication ended with a
request for assignment of some
"alert and thoroughly competent
lawyers" for the prosecution.
Senator Jenner who served over
seas as an Air Forces captain, said
the Army manual on courts martial
specifically permits the accused to
be represented by civilian attorneys,
or by any Army officer of his choice
When none is requested, the unit
commanding officer assigns an officer
to act as defense counsel.
Senator Jenner said the; routing
slip came into the hands of Mr..
Carroll June 18, and that Mr.. Car
roll phoned Mr.. Foley in California
and Mr.. Foley transcribed the docu-
ment:
Senator Jenner added that Mr..
Foley wrote him saying "the system
of military justice as administered
in headquarters command was so
abhorrent to me as an attorney that
I returned to the United States early
in December
Col. James A. Kilian, now sta
toned at Walter, Reed Hospital, filed
$500,000 libel suit in District Court
against the Washington Daily News
He charged the paper published un-
true statements about him in con-
nection with his former position as
commander of the Lichf1eld military
prison and the treatment of en-
listed prisoners.
