Both the cooks and stewards and

While Joseph Curran, MINUS

cooks joined in the "sit in" policy
Only the last two have West Coast

A fifth CIO union, the West

has extended its contract a year,
but has promised to cooperate
with the others if the wage dead
lock is not broken satisfactorily.
Mr.. Curran said that almost TOO

the stoppage, and as many as 1000

orders NMU members can provide
maintenance crews aboard ships but
cannot sign on for any sailings.

but was much the most severe.
Suffered HemOrrhages.
DR.. Verges, according to Mr.. Cam
field, said Freeman had been trou-
bled by hemorrhages over the week
end which had weakened his heart.
The doctor said he advised Free
man yesterday against resuming
the witness stand today but Free
man insisted he wanted to complete
his testimony
Justice Schweinhaut, after the
bench conference. told the jury only
that Mr.. Freeman is i'll and is
under the care of doctor, but the
trial will go on with other witnesses
until he can return to the stand. u
The first character witness to take
the stand today was Charles B.
Newlin. Batavia (Ill) banker, who
testified on direct examination that
the reputation of the Carson
brothers at Batavia was good"
When Assistant Prosecutor John
T. M. Redden started his cross-ex-
animation, Mr.. Newlin said he knew
by hearsay' and from reading
newspapers that Henry Carson had
been tried about 20 years ago and
acquitted. Despite objections by de-
fense counsel, Justice Schweinhaut
permitted Mr.. Redden to continue
this line Of questioning.
New York Lawyer Testifies.
Another defense character wit
ness, George NJ Zahn, New York
City lawyer, testified under cross
examination that he knew Henry
Carson was refused admission to
the New York City bar by the Griev-
ance Committee of the bar associa-
ton there in 1888
Mr.. Zahn said this made no diff
ference so far as my good opinion
of Henry Garsson's reputation was
concerned" He said he heard at
the time that an anonymous letter
was written to the chairman of the
Grievance Committee and that this
seemed to have considerable weight
with that group. Mr. Zahn added
that Il have fairly good conclu-
sion as to the source of the letter"
He did not disclose the identity of
the person he believed wrote the
letter.
Under further cross
1t was brought out that Henry Cars
son was dismissed as an agent for
the Internal Revenue Bureau more
than 20 years ago on a complaint
that he accepted bribe He was
indicted on that charge and tried in
the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York
and was acquitted, the testimony
showed.
Earlier May was called to the
stand by Charles J. Margiotti. chief
counsel for the Garssons, to identify
several letters from Army officers.
including Brig. Gen. Paul English,
wartime chief of the Industrial
Relations Division of the Chemical
Warfare Service. Those letters
praised the production record of
the Carson companies. May said
this commendation by high Army
officers induced him to help the
Garssons.
II wouldn't have done it if the
Garssons were fy-by-night con-

Long Shipping Strike
will HuIf Europe,
u. 5. Officials Warn
By jones Y. Newton

A prolonged shipping strike cut
ting of huge shipments of grain
and fuel would cause widespread
suffering in European countries
which right now are at the bottom
Of the barrel so far as food sup
plies are concerned, Federal officials
warned today.
Capt. Granville Conway, co-ordi-
nator of the emergency export pro-
gram, described the foreign relief
situation as extremely serious with
shipments of American grain and
coal both at peak He said many
of the European countries are at
the end Of their crop year and that
interruption of our help might cause
a breakdown In rationing in Ger
many, for example
However, Capt Conway added that
his information indicated the load
ing of coal, grain and flour was
continuing at nearly all ports and
there was no reports Of ships being
held up except at some Gulf ports.
Arrangements Sought.
The Government Is hopeful Of
making arrangements with striking
CIO maritime unions which will
make possible continued operation
of the relief ships. Several hundred.
vessels are now engaged in carrying
emergency supplies to Europe.
Overseas shipment Of coal reached
an all-time high of 4.400, 900 tons
last month. A large part of the ex-
port coal went to France. Likewise,
shipments of grain and flour
reached 1,600, 900 tons in May.
The maritime strike also threat
ened to cut off imports of scarce
sugar from Cuba and Puerto Rico
at time shipments are at the
seasonal peak. Officials, however,
believe that home needs for sugar
can be met, although some further
reduction in commercial and in
dustrial uses may be necessary.
A Maritime Commission spokes-
man said there Is no indication that
any of the Governmental operated
ships had been affected by the
strike. The commission still oper-
ates about $50 vessels, most Of them
tankers.
Tankers Not Affected.

Three of the House committees
clerks this morning identified for

and Mrs. Paul A. Joray.
Others expected to testify for the
prosecution are Miss Ann D. Turner
committee clerk; Robert C. Alex
ander, assistant chief of the State
Department Visa Division, and Miss
Martha E. Mitchell OF New York
City.
Part of Statement Barred.
Yesterdays session was high light
ed by what was not said to the
jury, rather than by what the panel
of seven women and five men was
actually told. Mr.. Rogge was forbid
len by Justice Keech to read most OF
his 15-page opening statement. He
succeeded, however, in having the
text inserted in the court record
where it could serve as the basis for
an appeal, in the event the defend
ants are convicted in this trial.
The defense, Mr.. Rogges pre-
pared statement showed, had relied
heavily on attacking the House
committee.
In addition to claiming that the
resolution creating the committee
was unconstitutional, Mr.. Rogges
statement contended such Amer
leans as Thomas Jefferson, Tom
Paine and Abraham Lincoln would
have been targets for the commit
tee if they were alive today.
I'VE are going to show that this
committee, with beams in its eyes of
a size the like of which has rarely
been seen, goes about looking for
Specks In the clear eyes of honest
Americans" Mr.. Rogge wrote.
Afraid of Helping Franco.
The attorney said, in his state
ment, that Miss Bryan, custodian of
the directors books, refused to pro-
duce them because she was afraid
the House committee was trying to
help the supporters of Franco"
In one of yesterdays frequent
bench conferences, Mr.. Murray re-
ported to Justice Keech he had
been approached by juror who
wanted to ask question not re-
lated to the trial.
Although Mr.. Murray said he
had broken off the conversation
Immediately, Mr.. Rogge asked JUS
tice Keech to declare mistrial.

Macy 10 Remain Here
As Spokesman for
VoiceIess People
By Gornett D. Horner

Ferenc Macy, charging that ne
was ousted as Premier of Hungary
as a result of direct Soviet inter-
vention, said today he plans to re-
main In Washington for the time
being as "the spokesman for a
voiceless people and a trustee"
for a Hungarian cause.
Mr.. Macy has rented house
at 1914 Twenty fourth street south,
Arlington, Va, for the summer
months. He said he was not ready
to make any detailed statement
about his future plans, but that he
would remain in Washington for
the near future, at least.
He asserted that events in Hun
gary and elsewhere in Southeastern
Europe make it definitely clear
that the Soviets and Communists
do not seek fair and genuine CO.
operation, but dominance"
The self-exi1ed former Premier
issued a prepared statement and
then answered questions of more
than so reporters for an hour in a
news conference at the Burlington
Hotel.
Favors Action by U. N.
He and his family arrived here
Sunday. flying from Switzerland
where he was on vacation when
forced out of Office.
II want to be the spokesman of a
voiceless people" he said, "and / am
trying to fulfill the duties that I am
charged with by the circumstances.
Mr.. Macy explained that he con-
sidered these duties to involve in
forming the world about what has
happened in Hungary and what is
happening g Southeastern Europe
in general"
He declared he was going to use
every method possible under inter-
national law for solving the situa-
ton 'Fby peaceful means" and said
he believes action by the United
Nations would be effective.
Mr.. Macy said that as Premier he
had made Strenuous efforts to be
friendly with Soviet Russia" and
had "appeased" the Communists
and Russia lin the hope of being
able to save my people from further
troubles"
He added that he had learned
that nothing short of unconditional
surrender is considered by Russia as
a friendly gesture"
Sure Conspiracy Did Not Exist.
The pressure leading up to his
custer, Mr.. Macy said, began last
December when the Communist
controlled police discovered an "al-
ledged conspiracy to overthrow
democracy in Hungary.
He said the police produced evil
dence and statements which forced
him to "open the road to investi-
CATION. He added that now that he
has mo further doubts" about "in-
human methods" used to produce
alleged confessions, he is sure there
was no conspiracy aimed against
the democratic form of government.
Asked about announcement in
Hungary that he, was going to be
tried in absentia, Mr.. Macy said
that the public opinion of the world
and history is going to hold court
over me and the present Hungarian
government, not that regime. -
