Decisive Victory Seen
In Confidence Vote
On British Policy
BY NE Asseeie,sd Press

LONDON. Mar. 8.-British Labor
Party leader confidently predicted
tonight that the government would
win q. decisive victory next week
after a three-day debate on eco
nomic policy.
The debate will end Wednesday
after vote on a "no-confidence"
motion submitted by Winston
Churchill. Conservative leader, a
motion which If carried would mean
the downfall of the regime of Prime
Minister Attlee.
Labor's bigo majority in the House
Of Commons was reported ready to
support the government despite
rumblings Of discord among 100
Laborites who favor more drastic
cuts in Britain's more than 1000 ,00o-
man army to swell the nations in
dustrial manpower.
The parliamentary correspondent
OF the British Press Association re-
ported that many Laborites were
criticizing Mr.. Attlee last week "for
not giving sufficiently stimulating
lead to the country" during the fuel
crisis. But this criticism died, the
correspondent reported, in the face
of Mr.. Churchill's attack and Mr..
Attlee's lively" defense Of his India
policy
The government itself has invited
the test Of strength by submitting
a motion saying "the House will
support the government in all prac-
ticable measures" to overcome eco
nomic difficulties.
Both the Liberal Party, with nine
votes in Commons, and the Con-
servatives, have submitted amend
ments to this motion.
The government expects fireworks
from some Laborite backbenchers
during the debate, but believes they
will not join with the opposition In
voting to overthrow the cabinet.

a hospital in Memphis where he
spent five months. The doctors be-
Heved he was no longer 1it for duty
but the president Of the board re-
turned him to duty.
He was sent to Hollywood as
technical advisor on THE Story OF
GI Joe" There began q period OF
gaiety that ended abruptly when he
was ordered back to Memphis and
arrested. The principal charge
against him, according to Mr.. Yorty,
was his failure to. get Army clear
ance on q magazine interview with
him entitled Lord Save You, Cap
tain" It developed that the story
was cleared with Army intelligence,
but not with the escape branch.
Union Took His Job.
Faced with general court mar
tial. he was allowed to- resign on
condition that he would waive all
his veterans rights, including claims
for disability. His final medical
record bore the notation, "Pyscho-
neurosis, battle induced, moderate" !"
Back in Hollywood. he took dra-
matte, lessons, got b job. running q
spotlight in Earl CAROLS Theater
Restaurant, was bumped" for q
union member with more seniority
and started q veterans right-to-
work movement.
His lawyer said that he was in
vited to speak to the Michigan Leg
islature and made other speeches in
Michigan and California, mainly on
a union-versus-veteran theme. He
gradually became disillusioned with
big business, however. his lawyer
said.
Robbed With Empty Pistol.
According to Mr.. Yorty, the vet
eran started committing robberies.
His lawyer said he carried a pistol
without ammunition and was very
polite. Usually. he visited awhile
with his victims, Mr.. Yorty said,
and pointed out to them they were
covered by insurance.
When he was finally arrested, he
told the police, I'm glad It's over"
Called into the case, Mr.. Yorty
said he tried to get Shunstrom's s
Army record. After month, he
said. he received a reply from the
Army that 1t would not consider
the request except on a court order
or a request from the defendant.
The case was nearing trial so Mr..
Yorty got the judges permission to
use copies which Shunstrom had
and to call the accused mans former
fellow officers as we'll as men who
served under him.
Examination Refused.
Mr.. Yorty said he also asked the
regional Office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration to have one Of its
psychiatrists examine Shunstrom.
That request was refused. Mr..
Yorty said he then asked VA simply
to provide someone who would tes-
tify in court On the general question
Of combat fatigue. That request
was refused, too, he said.
(Obtaining complete veterans
records and the services Of VA
psychiatrists are two of the ques-
tions Justice Laws and his COM

Like Justice Laws, however, Judge
Walter S. Gates of the Los Angeles

ss1 - Ranger Captain.
Thi1 the story he said had
been deF& &lpped from the records and
testirmd during the triai OF 26-
year-old Charles Shunstrom, former
captain III the Rangers:
Shunstr,om enlisted In the Army
when he was Is, won his commits
sion, volunteered for the Rangers
and was, one Of the few American

Later, ghe was put In charge Of a

the half tracks himself. he figured
q method Of rolling over q ridge and
firing Is rounds before the Germans
got his range.
Won Cfoix de Guerre.
While he was in Sicily, q regiment
containing some Frenchmen was
held up by the enemy. Shunstrom
figured out the strategy for out
flanking the enemy. For this he re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre from the
French government.
During the Salerno fighting, he
spent 20 days on the half tracks
while suffering from bad attacks Of
malaria for which he refused hos
pitalization.
In one campaign, he tried to
rescue two Of his men and the hear
ing in one ear was virtually de-
stroyed when mortar shell ex-
.ploded near him.
During an attack, the truck in
which he was riding with his favor
ite sergeant turned over. The SER
geant died In his arms. When he
reported the incident to q higher
ranking officer, he broke down and
cried. The oficer ordered him to
come to attention. (Shunstrom con-
fided to Mr.. Yorty that he began
to be afraid about himself then but
told nobody
Captured at Anzio.
At Anzio, he went on a mission
against larger forces than Army in
