SiegeI Probe Studies
Black Market Liquor
BY the Assoeioted Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, June
27-Attorney General Fred M
Howseg of California threw his
forces today into the investigation
of who killed Benjamin (Bugsy)
Siegel, and why.
The prosecutor said he had IN
structed his chief special agent,
Walter H. Lentz, to look into the
former public enemy's connections
particularly with wartime black
market liquor operations, on the
/ theory that a grudge held over from
such activity might have been
responsible for the assassination.
Beverly Hills and Los Angeles
County authorities, meanwhile, are
delving into a maze of possibilities
arising from Siegels supposed con-
nections with narcotics, bookmaking
wire service, stolen jewelry and
women.
Police Chief c. H. Anderson said
he cabled Paris authorities, asking
them to obtain an official statement
from Virginia Hill, thrice-wed Hol-
lywood figure. In whose leased home
here Siegel was shot to death Friday
night. A coroner's jury decided the
killing was by person or persons
unknown"
Siegel, New York and Hollywood
playboy, Las Vegas (Nev) gambling
club operator and bigtime under
world figure, was buried almost
secretly yesterday in a $4,000 silver
plated casket after 5-minute
funeral with only six family men,
bers and friends present.
In Chicago, Joseph Bell, narcotics
agent in charge, said he believed
Siegel had ordered" the Staying in
San Francisco of Nick De John and
Tom Bufa, narcotics ring figures,
on the supposition they had talked
to Federal agents.
Mr.. Bell said the death of Siegel
removed the last obstacle to control
of illicit narcotics distribution in
this country by the Malta. once
dreaded Italian BLACK Hand" or
ganization now directing its affairs
from Brooklyn.

Austin Cites Evidence.
Mr., Austin cited evidence impli-
eating each of the three Slav coun-
tries in aiding Greek guerrillas.
Mr. Austin charged that, in effect
the activities Of the pro-Soviet group
constitute an attack against
Greece'S independence.
In modern times" he declared
"there are many ways in which
force can be used by one State
against the territorial integrity of
another.
Invasion by organized armies is
not the only means for delivering
an attack against country's in
dependence. Force is effectively
used today through devious meth
DDS of inf1ltration, intimidation and
subterfuge.
But this does not deceive anyone.
Any intelligent person in possession
of the facts cannot fail to recognize
the use here of force, no matter
how devious the Subterfuge."

Taft Dooms Prospects
For Military Training
Action This Session
BY Robert S. Allen
North American Newspaper Alliance


Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio
today doomed any prospects for en-
actment of universal military train
ing legislation at this session Of Con-
gress.
The Republican leader scathingly
denounced the proposal as un-
American, wasteful and obsolete, and
declared he would fight it to the
bitter end"
The Ohioan's blast was highly
significant on three counts:
AS chairman of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee. he is
Il in a controlling position to'determine
what legislation will be considered
in the remaining few weeks Of Con-
gresS. -.
In assailing the proposal, Senator
Taft squarely challenged President
Truman on this issue.
Chairman Gurney of the Senate
Armed Service Committee is for the
bill, but after Senator Taft's denun-
citation, other committee members
admitted the measure has little
chance of emerging from the COM
mittee this year. The Senate group
expects to hold hearings, however.
Taft Attacks All Arguments.
House leaders also viewed Senator
Taft's pronouncement as writing
fms on the legislation in theil
chamber. 1t was pointed out thai
the Ohioan would not have spoker
as emphatically as he did If he hae
not first conferred with House GOE
chiefs.
In an interview Senator Taft
vigorously attacked every majol
argument put forward by advocate:
! in support of universal military
training. He held the propose
would not improve either the morals
discipline or health of American
youth, and that it was not necessary
| to develop a military manpowel
! reserve.
| ''Militarism has always led to wal
and not to peace" he said.
Suggests Summer Program.

boy. 1t subjects American youth tt
the complete domination of the
Government during their most for
NATIVE period We have no greater
obligation to the men who fought ir
Europe and the Pacific than to keer
our country one in which the In
dividual shall be free to think anc
be master of his own soul, and where
the people shall be free to govern
their own Government"
AS a possible substitute Senator
Taft suggested a volunteer summer
training program for 100000 boys.
This is merely an idea" Senator
Taft explained, "but I think there
/ is sound merit in it. However, ]
confidently predict that the Army
will criticize and oppose it because
| it Is determined to have conscrip-
tion. The militarists insist on con-
scription and are doing everything
in their power to put it over"

Oil
Continued From First Page

"It seems" Mr., Weichel COM
mented, that there are those en-
gagged in the Ieetroleum industry
whose love for the people of the
United States is less than their
feelings for foreign nations"
Mr.. Weichel said the hearings
will inquire into the reasons for
the shipments to Russia, the petro-
leum supply outlook in this country
and the factors behind Russia's re-
| tention of American tankers and
other merchant ships lend-leased
during the war.
House Votes Export Control.
The House, Spurred by talk that
gasoline rationing is threatened
anew, voted late yesterday to give
| the Government authority to con-
I troll petroleum exports.
Representative Springer, Republi
can, of Indiana, who sponsored the
move, told the House:
There is a very grave shortage
of oil, and threatened rationing in
some areas of the country-and we
have reports that 100000 barrels
of oil are being exported monthly
to Russia"
The control authority over petro-
leum was written into bill extend
ing to January 81, 1948, export and
import restrictions on certain COM
modities such as tin, antimony,
quinine and fats and oils.
The Commerce Department has
ordered wartime controls over ex-
port of petroleum reimposed, effec-
tive Monday, but the law under
which the controls are authorized
lis due to expire at midnight Mon
day unless Congress extends it.

5 Agencies Continue
Foreign Aid Study

Five Government agencies were
giving continuing consideration"
today to the question of how much
more money the United States will
need to provide for foreign aid.
This question cannot be readily
answered" the five-agency National
Advisory Council on Foreign Financ-
ing said yesterday in reporting that
the billions already made available
will not be enough.
President Truman. who submitted
the councils report to Congress. told
a press conference later that he is
in complete agreement with Secre-
tary of State Marshall's proposal for
European nations to work out their
own self-held recovery program and
seek minimum aid from this country.
Mr.. Truman was asked whether
the United States would provide
financial assistance if the European
nations agree on program. He
replied that Gen. Marshall had
covered that subject in his state
ments and that he and Gen. Mar

The President also told queStioners
that Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der is in complete accord with the
program.
The National Advisory Council
report said:
/. Almost all the billions Congress
has authorized for foreign financial
aid-not counting that turned over
to the World Bank and monetary
fund-has been spent or committed.
2. 1t had become increasingly
clear" as early as three months ago
that what was left will not prove
adequate for the accomplishment
of the purposes for which foreign
financial assistance has been pro-
vided.'
3. The question of how much
more this country will need to pro-
vide can not be readily an
swered." The five agencies on the
Council are giving that continuing
consideration"

LAKE SUCCESS, June 26.-
Secretary Of State Marshall
signed an agreement with the
United Nations today granting
tnviolable status for the six block
permanent world capital site
along the East River in midtown
New York.
The agreement specifically let the
way open for future U. N.-United
States negotiations for establish
ment and operation Of United
Nations airport and postal system.
The latter operations would be sub
ject to supplemental agreement If
and when the U. N. should decide
to undertake them.
U. N. legal experts said the ques-
ton of national sovereignty had
been deliberately avoided in negoti-
ating the agreement, but pointed out
that the U. N. would have its own
headquarters police force and would
call on outside American authort-
ties only in extreme circumstances
for specific tasks in the head
quarters district"
They said the area would have
the same inviolable status as a
foreign embassy in Washington.
One U. N. expert said: I'VE OBJ
tanned from the United States what
we need-no more, no less"
The signer for the United Ma
tions in the featured event of World
Charter day at this interim head
quarters was Secretary General
Trygve Lie, who would rule the
headquarters district in New York
with extraordinary powers.
The agreement is subject to ap-
proval by the General Assembly of
the U. N. in September. and by
Congress in a joint resolution re-
quiring simple ajority Endorsement
In the Senate and House.
Gen Marshall came here by plane
from Washington to take part in

ber in the midst of anniversary
celebration Of the signing of the
