William Hitz objected loudly as the
witness, gently guided by Mr.. Isser-

was the trusted spokesman Of a

Bryan had right to tell why she
had Thought Eisler worthy of her
help.
Miss Bryan said that in 1912 Els

man named Deter and another
named Schreiner. The witness said
they represented IA or Is concen-

Eisler and his two companions,

Rebel
| leader FIees Prison
BY the Associated Press

ASUNCION, Paraguay, Mar. 15.-
1t. Col. Alfredo Galeano, who tried
to overthrow the government of
President Higinio Morinigo last fall,
has escaped from military prison,
reliable sources here say, and has
taken over command of insurgent
forces at rebel-held Conception.
Meanwhile, government officials
denied reports broadcast by the
rebel radio station at Conception
that troops from the wild Chaco
region had joined the rebellion. The
government declared the Chacc
troops had remained loyal.
Galeano, who was arrested after
last September's abortive revolt. was
sent to the military prison island
Pena Hermosa in the Paraguay
River. A former supporter of
Morinigo, he commanded the 1st
Cavalry Division, strongest unit of
the Paraguayan Army, last year
during the absence of the regular
commander.
The insurgent leader was said to
have escaped while the prison wall
den was attempting to remove the
prisoners from the area occupied by
the rebels.
The government reported that 1t
had moved loyal troops up to the
edge of Conception, but that there
had as yet been no fighting with
the rebel forces.
Dispatches from Formosa, Argen-
tina, near the Paraguayan border,
said the rebels were we'll armed
with antitank and antiaircraft guns.
500 machine guns, 10000 rifles, and

The main business of the day in
volved three American documents
presented by Mr.. Marshall These
papers had been given to other del
egations hours before the meeting
began. Everybody knew what was
in them. Gen. Marshall therefore
said he did not want to waste the
Councils time. He asked whether
or not he should read the papers.
According to Mr.. Molotov, who
was presiding, that was up to Mr..
Marshall The Secretary of State
said in that case he wouldn't read
them.
M. Molotov then asked if there
were any other comments. He meant
comments about the papers. Mr.
Bidault, however, thought he meant
comments on Mr.. Marshalls decision
not to read the papers. Misunder-
standing precipitated lengthy dis
cussion. Questions, explanation and
announcements in three languages
flew back and forth across the table.
Finally Mr.. Marshall spoke up.
II see, gentlemen" he said, that
my attempt to save time is only re-
sulting in our wasting more of it.
I shall, therefore, read all three pa
pers:"
And so he did. About an hour later
when the delegates had finished the
already familiar material read in
three languages, they were able to
get on with their business.
The Council was discussing demo-
cratization of Germany, and Gen.
Marshall told it what America
thinks democracy means.

they appear before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee which he
heads.
One question. raised by Senators
Taft, Republican, Of Ohio, and Jen-
ner, Republican, of Indiana, is
whether top Government officials
knew of the impending Mediter-
ranian crisis as long ago as last
october.
Denied by State Department.
The State Department later is
sued a denial of this. Press Officer
Lincoln White told reporters:
There is obviously a misunder-
standing about what the British
told us.
THE British have for many
months indicated that they desired
and proposed to withdraw troops
from Greece as soon as they pos
sibly could. Mr.. Bevin and other
British officials have said so pub
licly in Commons, at the United
Nations and elsewhere.
However, the British note of
February "a was the first notifica-
ton received by this Government
that the British government was
forced to withdraw financial and
economic aid as of March 81 to the
Greek government" a4 #5
Mr.. White noted that the Brit
ish statements about withdrawing
troops dated back to 1945, but he
said none referred to an intention
to wind up economic assistance by
March 81.
Senator Jenner brought the ques-
ton up In the Senate Republican
Conference yesterday, saying it was
generally reported that British For
eign Minister Bevin gave notice of
it then to former Secretary of State
Byrnes.
IF that is true" Senator Jenner
told newsmen, II think Congress
ought to know that this not some
thing that has just popped up over
night with a demand for irnmedi-
ate attention"
Senator Taft said he had been
informed by a visitor from Lon
don that this Government was noti-
fed last October that the British
would have to stop economic aid
to Greece March 81, when their
financial year ends. In any event,
an examination of the British
budget might have disclosed that
it included no further funds for
Greece. he said.
II don't think this Is major
point" Senator Taft continued, "but
Congress ought to know whether
the administration knew about this
situation all along and simply de-
layed acting until 1t had reached a
crisis"
Mr.. Byrnes refused to comment on
the reports.
Would Bar Goods for Russia.
Senator Flanders, Republican, of
Vermont introduced resolution
which would bar the shipment of
goods from this country to Russia
until Moscow has fulfilled the COM
mitments made by it under the
Yalta and Potsdam agreements"
Meanwhile, the State Department
broadcast to Russia yesterday both
favorable and unfavorable reaction
to the proposal to aid Greece and
Turkey in resisting communism.
The unfavorable included that of
Henry A. Wallace, former Secretary
Of Commerce. Mr.. Wallace said the
President is bringing the world
nearer to war"
Approximately one-third of the
18-minute news period of the de-
partment's daily one-hour Russian
language program was devoted to
the aid issue.
Included were reports of action in
Congress, comment by Senator VAN
denberg and criticism by the Mos
COW newspaper Izvestia. The same
general pattern was followed in the
days overseas broadcasts in "a Ian
guages other than the Russian.
