BY the Assoetotsd Press

HAVANA, Dec. 10 The man
slaughter trial Of Patricia (Satira)
Schmidt, who is accused of the
yacht shooting Of John Lester Nee,
Chicago naval veteran, ended at II
am. today.
The verdict is not expected for
several days.
Following a half hour of conclud-
ing argument by the defense attor-
ney, the Audiencia Court adjourned
and Patricia left the room in tears.
She walked to an automobile be-
tween spectators who murmured
good luck wishes to her.
She addressed the court for a few
seconds in her own behalf before
the adjournment, saying she hoped
the court would not treat her as a
common criminal. She thanked the
three judges for giving her a fair
trial.
When the closed court convened
today Miss Schmidt, fearful of a
prison sentence which she said
would be worse than DEATH" went
nervously into the chamber to hear
her lawyer finish his summation.

Grain, food. fertilizer, agricultural

nomic cooperation with our neigh.
bors in the Western Hemisphere"
In policy and broad outlines the
program Is regarded by officials who
helped prepare it as conforming
closely with the recommendations
of the receiving countries. In de-
tail, as shown by the background
material Mr.. Truman sent to Con-
gress, many differences appear.
For example, the Government fig
ures that the 16 countries will be
able to import less grain, fats and
oils, meat and sugar than those
countries estimated. They may, how
ever, be able to get more tobacco,
cotton and dried fruit than they
counted on.
The countries concerned had asked
5000, 100000 for currency stabiliza-
ton. but this was omitted.
Mr.. Truman said something might
be done about this later. He ex-
planned that the entire program had
been scaled down whenever 1t
seemed to include nonessentials or
whenever supplies were too scarce
to meet demand.

achieve economic self-support anc
to contribute their full share to q
peaceful and prosperous world" the
President amplifled in his 5000
word message. "Our aid must be
adequate to this end. If We provide
only half-hearted and halfway
help, our efforts will be dissipated
and the chances for political and
economic stability in Europe are
likely to be lost"
Notes Effect on US.
At the same time, however, the
President took cognizance of the
effect that large-scale exports will
have on this country's economy and
said, for that reason, relief pur-
chases should not be restricted to
the United States, with the resultant
inf1ationary pressure that would be
created by this enlarged demand.
THE measures I have already
proposed to the Congress to fight
general domestic imitation will be
useful, as we'll, in cushioning the
impact of the European aid pro-
gram" he said.
The President dealt at length with
the background of the Marshall
plan, which was drawn up in the
fall, with Russia refusing to par
ticipate
He pointed out the countries con-
cerned are pledged to an all-out
productive effort, coupled with the
establishment of financial stability.
Help Necessary.
"A successful European recovery
program will depend upon two es-
sentials," he continued. 1.-THE first
is that each nation separately and
all the nations together should take
vigorous action to help themselves.
The second essential is that suffi-
cient outside aid should be made
available to provide the margin of
victory for the recovery program"
Actually, the President explained,
this margin" is only about per
cent Of the total national produc-
ton Of the 16 nations. He said, too,
that this country expects others
which are able, to lend what assist
ance they can.
AS now contemplated, Mr.. Tru-
man said, "the program is designed
to make genuine recovery possible
within a definite period of time, and
not merely to continue relief in
definitely" and it is intended also
to make certain that "the funds
and goods which we furnish will be
used most effectively for European
recovery"
| Decision Rests With u. S.
"The United States will, of course,
retain the right to determine wheth-
er aid to any country is to be con-
tinued if our previous assistance has
not been used effectively" he said
The President noted that "a num-
ber of governments of Eastern
Europe" declined to participate in
the Paris conference at which the
Marshall plan was devised, and
their failure to join in the con-
certed effort for recovery makes this
effort more difficult and will un-
doubtedly prolong their own eco
nomic difficulties"
This, however, the President said,
should not stand in the way of a
resumption Of trade between East
ern and Western Europe, and he ex-
pressed the conviction it will be
gradually restored"
i The President also repeated his
assurance that, in embarking on the
long-range European aid program,
this country is not ignoring "our

our common cause of combating
the suspicious, prejudices and
fabrications which undermine

and abroad.
This joint undertaking of the
United States and a group Of Eu-
ropean nations, in devotion to
the principles Of the Charter of
the United Nations, is proof that
free men can effectively join to-

have been heartened by the
widespread support which the
citizens of the United States have
given to the concept underlying
the proposed aid to European re-
covery. Workers, farmers, busi-
nessmen and other major groups
have all given evidence Of their
confidence in its noble purpose
and have shown their willingness
to give 1t full support.
I know that the members Of
the Congress have already given
much thoughtful consideration to
the grave issues now before us. I
know that the Congress will, as
1t should. consider with great
care the legislation necessary to
put the program into effect. This
consideration should proceed as
rapidly as possible in order that
the program may become effec-
tive by April l., 1948. 1t is for
this reason that I am presenting
my recommendations to the Con-
gress now, rather than awaiting
its reconvening in January.

United States support for Eu-
ropean recovery to the Congress
in full confidence of its wisdom
and necessity as a major step in
our Nations quest for a Just and

Partial Text of Truman Long Range Aid Proqrun,

I expect that the Economic Co.
operation Administration will
need only a small staff. No vast
new agency or corporation is
needed to perform functions for
which government facilities now
exist. .
The Administrator must be
subject to the direction of the
Secretary of State on decisions
and actions affecting our foreign
policy.
In order to maintain unity of
United States representation
abroad. our ambassador in each
country must retain responsibility
for all matters requiring con-
facts with the government to
which he is accredited, including
operations under this program.
Some additional personnel, tech
nically qualified to perform spe-
cialized functions arising out Of
the program, should be placed in
the embassies to represent and
carry out the responsibilities of
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration abroad.
In addition, I recommend that
provision be made for a special
United States Representative for
the European Recovery Program.
He would represent the United
States at any continuing organi-
zation of the participating coun-
tries and he would exercise gen.
eral coordination of our opera
tions in Europe under the pro-
gram. He should be appointed
by the President, subject to con-
firmation by the Senate, and
have Ambassadorial rank. Be-
cause of the joint interest of the
Secretary of State and the Ad-
ministrator in his activities, the
special Representative must serve
both as the President may direct.
The activities of this Represent
ative in promoting mutual self
help among the European nations
will be of the utmost Importance
in achieving the success of the
European recovery program. -
Conclusion.
In proposing that the Congress
enact a program of aid to Eu-
rope, I am proposing that this
Nation contribute to world peace
and to its own security by as
sisting in the recovery of 16
countries which, like the United
States, are devoted to the preser-
vation of free institutions and
enduring peace among nations.
It is my belief that United
States support of the European
recovery program will enable the
free nations Of Europe to devote
their great energies to the re-
construction of their economies.
On this depend the restoration
Of q decent standard of living
for their peoples, the develop
ment Of sound world economy,
and continued support for the
ideals of individual liberty and
justice.
In providing aid to Europe we
must share more than goods
and funds. We must give our
moral support to those nations
In their struggle to rekindle the
fires Of hope and strengthen the
will Of their peoples to overcome
their adversities. We must de-

To Demand British Lift
Military Rule In Palestine

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = In
a speech to the Senate this week
Senator Warren G. Magnuson
Washington Democrat, asked
President Truman to call upon the
British Government to "revoke all
military orders, restore civil ad-
ministration and remove all re-
strictions upon civil liberties" IN
Palestine.
At the same time, Magnuson
said, the President should call upon
the Irgun Zvai Leumi and Stern
Gang to cease all terrorist activ-
tiles. Magnuson suggested that
the President also warn the Brit
ish that unless within a stated
time large-scale immigration of
displaced Jews in Europe to Pal
estine is undertaken, the United
States will start transporting such
persons from Europe to Palestine
under the protection of the Ameri-
can flag. Magnuson said he had
a right to do this under the Anglo
American Convention of 1924.

The hour was approaching nIu-
night and all the stands were half
! empty at Madison Square Garden
during the running of the Millrose
Games. The last relay race had
been run over a half hour ago and
only the high jumpers were left
in the center of the floor. The
typewriters and Western Union
KEYS were ticking away in the
mezzanine when somebody re-
marked, "Hey, look guys, they are
still jumping. Wonder what's
cooking in this event?" This
should give you an idea of how
interesting the average high jump
trials are to the sports writer's.
We were just finishing writing
our stint as the clock showed
twenty minutes to twelve. Nor
mally, we can cover the average
track meet, write our story and be
out of the Garden by 11:15. This
night, however, Irving Mondschein
was in the high jump pit testing
his skill against the best available
leapers in the East. The bar was
raised to 6'5" with five contestants,
including Mondschein, left. The
N. Y. U. flash cleared the bar on
his second try. John Vislocky of
the New York A. c. also cleared
at this height. Johnson, Albritton
and Kashuba were eliminated at
this point.
The judges pushed the stick up
another inch to 6'6". Mondschein
was going to try for the highest
jump of his career. He tipped the
bar on his first leap. Vislocly
also failed in his first attempt.
While the minutes licked away the
two athletes cleared safely on their
next attempts. This time the
standard was raised to 6'7". Mond-
schein was really batting in the
big league now. He tried first
and just nicl1ed the stick dislodg-
ing it from its resting place. Wis
lOcky also knocked the bar down.
MOndschein cleared. VislOcky
cleared. VislOcky tried two more
times and couldn't make the grade.
MOndschein was the winner. The
record for the MilIrOse games was
6"-%". The judges asked Irving
IT ne would like to try at 6'7"-A".
He acquiesced. You probably know
by this time that MOndschein es-
tablished new Millrose Games re-
cord in the high Jump.

Proposal to cede Cyprus
Is Surprise to Britain
BY the Associated Press


LONDON, Mar. 24.-British gov
ernment sources said today they
were surprised and disappointed
at Washington proposal that
Britain cede Cyprus to Greece.
One official, who refused to be
identified, said: "It will be relief
to all OF us in this country when
some people in the United States
overcome their tendency to be Sc
liberal with territory that does not
belong to them
Britain has refused previously to
change the islands status, saying
it helped secure her imperial life

conference:

is plain. 1t has been stated re-

In reply to a question, the
spokesman said any United States
views of Cyprus conveyed to Britain
would receive normal consideration
He said Britain so far had received
no official or unofficial communica-
tions from the State Department
indicating the United States Gov
ernment's views on Cyprus.
The Greek government was known
to favor a union with the island,
he added, but no request for con-
sideration of the issue has been re-
ceived from Athens.
Cyprus was colonized by the an
cient Greeks. Conquered by Brit

La Guardia Cancels
Talk After Plea 10
Avoid Health Bills
BY the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-FioreIlo
H. La Guardia, former Mayor OF
New York, announced today he had
cancelled scheduled DR.. Dowling
Memorial Lecture at Birmingham
Southern College at Birmingham,
Ala, next Wednesday because, he
said, the Jefferson County Board
of Health had requested he avoid
reference to socialized medicine.
Mr.. La Guardia would not COM
ment, but released copies of an ex-
change of correspondence.
A letter forwarded to Mr.. La
Guardia from DR.. George A. Deni-
son, health officer of Jefferson
County. through Mayor Cooper
Green of Birmingham, stated:
IT think it advisable that you
write Mr.. La Guardia suggesting
that in his lecture here on the
26th that particular reference or
discussion of socialized medicine
should not be made.
Cites Tie With Profession.
"He will understand, am sure,
that we have particular reference
to such bills introduced into the
Congress as the Wagner Murray
Dingell bill. Certainly we have no
reference to such fundamental leg
islation as the Social Security Act.
"It is not that 7. personally, feel
that problems relating to socialized
medicine should not receive public
discussion but rather that the parti-
cular group sponsoring Mr.. La
Guardia's lecture includes and has
close tie with members of the medi-
cal profession and we want to MAIN
tain peace and harmony within the
family by avoiding the controversial
issues"
Mr.. La Guardia, replying that he
would not fulfill the lecture engage
ment, declared:
Regardless of whether intended
to make any such reference, and in
all likelihood I would, please be ad-
vised that I am not accustomed to
having people tell me what to say
or what not to say"
Sent Telegram in Reply.

nison and K. w. Grimley, executive
secretary of the Alabama Tuber-
culosis Association, said:
"All our suggestions relative to
your Birmingham speech were sug-
gestions only and may be freely dis
regarded. There are no restrictions
whatsoever on anything. You have
complete freedom of speech and it is
our wish that you be yourself and
be guided accordingly"
In reply sent today, Mr.. La
Guardia repeated he would not
speak, adding:
1T is apparent that some of the
audience would look for entertain
ment rather than information. I
am not in the entertainment busi-
ness. Because of your original /tele-
gram I have lost interest and doubt
that any useful purpose would be
served.
