u. 5. Engineers TO Aid
Turk Road Builders
By the Associated Press

Eight Public Roads Administra-
ton engineers will leave for Turkey
tomorrow to help build a national
system of modern highways.
Whether the proposed road net
work will extend to the Russian.
Turkish border for a link with the
Soviet transportation system has not
been fully worked out, H. E. Hits,
deputy public roads administrator
and head of the mission, told q
reporter.
Although road links with Iran and
Iraq, her neighbors on the east and
south, might give Turkey greater
access to the oil production of those
two countries, Mr.. Hits said he was
not prepared to discuss this aspect
of the undertaking.
Expenses of the mission, plus the
cost of machinery and equipment,
will be paid for out OF $5 5,000, 900
sum set aside by the State Depart
ment from the 100,O00,000 Turkish
aid program voted by Congress last
spring.
Consisting largely of military as
sistance in the form of weapons and
equipment to modernize the Turkish
Army, the programs chief purpose
was to counteract Russian preSsures
on the Middle Eastern nation.
Road building equipment valued
at $750,000 already has been OBJ
tanned from the Army and is on its
way to Turkey. Costs Of right OF
way, materials, labor and detailed
supervision will be met by the Turk
ish government.

New Court Rules Expected

By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 28.-Newly-
adopted rules of practice and pro-
cedure will speed up administration
of justice and make the work of the
States courts more uniform, John
o. Rutherford, clerk of the Balti-
more City Court, said yesterday.
The new rules become applicable
January /. They were adopted by the
Court of Appearls on the recommen-
dation of committee headed by
Judge Levin c. Bailey.
One of the new rules will give
counsel for plaintiffs the right to
move for summary judgement at
any time when there is no dispute
as to any material fact and the
plaintiff is entitled to judgement as
matter of law.
Another cuts the time from enter
ing pleas from the present 80 to Is
days.
Undoubtedly the new procedures
will disentangle many legal prob
lens and serve to solve seemingly
insoluable situation which long has
plagued the bench and bar" Mr..
Rutherford said.

Robber Sought as Slayer
Of RecIuse With $4,000
By the Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Ohio, Nov. 28.-Po-
lice searched vainly today for clues
leading to the slayer of an old lamp
lighter who died yesterday of a
crushed skull and possessed hid
den fortune of more than $4,000.
Apparently, police said, 67-year-
old Donate Dan-the Mooch) Muc-
ci, Italian immigrant recluse, was
the victim of a robber who broke
into his rickety, litter packed shack
near the Chesapeake 81 Ohio Rail-
road tracks.
The victims snap-top purse, some
thing his acquaintances said he
carried always, was missing but de-
tectives found $500 in cash and bank
deposit books, recording a total of
nearly s25,000, stuffed into a coffee
can.
Attempts also were under way to
locate Samuel Mucci, the victims
brother, believed living in Detroit.

Expert on Red Army Declares

pertS on the SOVIET Army.
Mr.. Pure said:
"The Soviet Union will profess
peaceful intentions only as long as
she does not feel strong enough to
attack. The moment, however, that
she feels sure of victory she will
strike. Her military power increases,
surely and inevitably, with every
year that passes"
He said the German forces de-
feated by Russia were, after 1913,
half-starved, half-frozen, poorly
equipped and low in morale.
"It needs no great proves to de-
feat such an army when one Is IN
ones own country, eats good Amer
ican food and fights with up-to-date
American weapons" Mr.. Pure said.
So many Russian soldiers de-
serted during the war, he added,
that special units of trusted Com
munists often were stationed be-
hind the front lines to shoot any
one who laid down his gun.

|Dewey-Taft Contest
For Illinois Delegates
lis Believed Likely
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Gov. Dewey OF New YORK ana SEN
ator Taft of Ohio may collide head.
on in the April 13 Illinois primary
in their contest for the 1948 Repub-
lican presidential nomination.
While neither mas given any indi-
cation Of his plans, friends OF Sen
ator Taft said today he is almos,
certain to enter the Illinois lists II
Gov. Dewey decides to try openly
for the States Sc convention dele
gates.
Senator Taft is an announced can
didate but Gov. Dewey hasn't said
publicly that he is running again
for the nomination he won in 1914.
Politicians generally have looked
on the Illinois Republican situation
as unsettled because of reported op-
position within party ranks there te
Gov. Dwight Green as "favorite
son" candidate.
Prestige Is Involved.
Under Illinois law the name Of any
candidate may be entered in q
preferential primary with or without
his consent. The results are merely
advisory" to the States delegation
but prestige is involved.
Gov. Dewey's friends have given
notice that his name will be entered
in the March 9 New Hampshire pri-
mary, where former Gov. Harold e
Stassen of Minnesota, an announced
candidate, already has pitched
his hat.
Dewey forces also are reported te
be marshalling for battle with Mr.
Stassen, and probably Gen. Mac
Arthur, in the Wisconsin primary
April 6. But whether the New York
Governor will be projected into the
| Illinois contest a week later appar-
emily depends largely on what ar
rangements Gov Green can make
toward getting a favorite son pledge
Senator Taft previously had saic
l. he didn't intend to enter any pri-
mary except in Ohio, May 4, where
he is virtually conceded solid support
of the States SO delegates.
| Close associates said, however,
that If the Illinois situation devel-
ops to the point where Gov. Dewey
is entered, Senator Taft will plunge
into the race, too.
Would Mean Campaigning.
This would mean active cam
Ipaigning because, although Taft
hackers say they think they can
count on substantial support among
Illinois Republicans, they have nc
illusions that they Gould win with
out a fight.
Some indications of the Ohio Sen
ators strength in Illinois may have
been given recently when Col. Rob-
ert R. Mccormick, editor and pub
Usher of the Chicago Tribune, was
quoted in Hong Kong as saying
that Senator Taft is his first choice
for the Republican nomination.
Doubt has arisen in Republican
circles that Gen. Macarthur will be
drawn into the Republican race, de-
spite plans to enter his name ir
Wisconsin. The general Is described
by some friends in this country as
reluctant to engage in the rough
and-tumble political battling that
goes with efforts to win the nomi-
nation and the presidency.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 28.-One hun
dred and sixty-one Chinese came
home today, broke and bitter, from
Soviet-controlled Southern Sakha-
lin Island north of Japan. They
found conditions here nearly as
bleak as those they had left.
All were forced to remain aboard
the Russian repatriation ship Co
gol here, until Shanghai's Mayor,
K. C. WI, can arrange free meals
and possibly lodging for them dur
ing the coming week.
What they will do after their
hoped-for week of free food and
lodging is uncertain. Shanghai al
ready has 100000 hungry, ill-clothed,
poorly sheltered refugees.
They gave up their homes in
Southern Sakhalin because, they
said, Russian domination was worse
than rule by the Japanese. They
asked permission to leave shortly
after the Russians moved into
Southern Sakhalin nearly three
years ago. Their request at that
time was denied by the Russians.
Word of their petition reached
the Chinese consul in Siberia, how

Many of the group, largely laborers

Sakhalin more than 30 years. They
said 5000 to 1000 Chinese Of North
ern Sakhalin, which has long been
Soviet territory, also want to leave
but cannot obtain permission.
Under the Russians, the new ar
rivals here asserted, they were given
three pieces of black bread daily
and a wage of Is rubles (nominal
value, $285, but actual value in
Sakhalin, unknown). Many, spokes-
men said, had left meager life saw
