BY the AssoeiafedsPress

NUREMBERG, Feb. S.-The

five German industrialists with
war crimes today in an indict-
ment linking the business brains
of the Third Reich with the
worst deeds of the politicians
and generals.
Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor, chief
American prosecutor, served the in
dictment against Friedrich Flick
63-year-old industrialist who had
vast power, and four men associated
with Flick in a farfung iron and
steel enterprise.

Steinbrinck, Konrad Kaletsch, Bern
hard Weiss and Hermann Tergerg-
er-names known throughout Ger

yond the borders.

Clayton Says Russia
Ignored 4 Requests
To Settle Lend Lease
WeicheI Threatens to Call
Marshall to Get Text
Of Note From Moscow
BY the Associated Press

Undersecretary of State Clay
ton told newspapermen today
the Russians have ignored four
requests by the United States to
begin settling their lend-lease
debts.
Mr.. Clayton said even call by
Ambassador Walter Bedell Smith on
the Moscow foreign Office last
month produced nothing but "con-
versation."
Mr.. Clayton had testified at q
House Merchant Marine .Subcom-
mittee hearing yesterday that three
formal diplomatic requests for set
tlement of accounts had, at best
received an unsatisfactory reply
When Mr.. Clayton refused to dis
close contents Of the Russian note
Subcommittee Chairman Weichel
threatened to subpoena Secretary Of
State Marshall. Subpoena powers
for the committee are pending be-
fore the House.
Three Notes Sent to Moscow.
Mr.. Clayton contended that Gus
tom and protocol prevented the
United States from making public
formal diplomatic notes it receives
from foreign governments. Mr.
Weichel objected to what he called
secrecy of the dealings" and told
reporters he would ask Gen. Mar
shall to disclose the Russian reply
Mr.. Clayton said notes were sent
to the Russian Embassy here last
March 10, September IA and Oc-
tober 81. The first dealt with the
return of 95 ships now held by
Soviet Russia under lend-lease.
The otner two asked immediate
appointment of negotiators to dis
cuss settlement of lend-lease.
MIR. Clayton testified under ques-
tioning that Russia had not been
given titles to the vessels. The
original request for their, return,
he said, specified that the ships
should be back in American ports in
so days.
Z6 Ships Were Returned.
He said that in 1912, when Ameri-
can flag vessels were barred from
Japanese waters, the United States
transferred some 125 merchant YES
sells to Russia "for the purpose of
improving the flow of lend-lease war
supplies to Russia via the Pacific" "
He said 26 have been returned and
four were lost.
Mr.. Clayton told the subcommittee
that the American shipping indus
try 'tis making unheard of peace
time profits" Then he added:
/. The high costs of moving goods
from one part of the world to an
other is acting as a brake on world
trade.
2. These costs should be reduced.
3. Profits to the shipping industry
have reached unprecedented levels
for peacetime operations.
Warren Opposes Lend-Lease Deal.
While Mr.. Clayton was testifying,
Controller General Lindsay Warren
told the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee he will not approve finan-
cial deal for shipping $25 5,0o0, 600 of
supplies to Russia unless Congress
specifically authorizes it.
Afterward, Chairman Bridges
told reporters that a majority of
the committee members appeared to
be hostile to a State Department
proposal to clear the way for ship
ment of supplies originally con-
tracted for under lend-lease. Rus
sia has put up cash for them.

TaImadge Holds
Thompson Won
By 'CoI|usion'
Declares Friends
Brought Action
Before Friends
By the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, Feb. Sherman
Talmadge charged today that a
court, decision holding him an
Illegal claimant of the Georgia
governorship was patiently col
lusive." He said in a formal
statement the suit twas brought
by friends, against friends, be-
fore friends, and for friends"
He refused comment when a re-
porter asked him if he thought be
would be subject to contempt of
court. Advised of Mr.. Talmadge's
statement, Judge Porter said the
court had no authority to inquire
into sincerity of the suit. He de-
clined further comment.
Mr.. Talmadge's attack was on the
suit before Judge Claude H. Porter
at Rome, where the Superior Court
ruled yesterday that Mr.. Talmadges
rival claimant, 1t. Gov. M. E.
Thompson, was the legal Governor.
Judge Pointer held that the Legisla-
ture exceeded its authority when it
elected Mr.. Talmadge after the
death of his father, Gov.-elect Eu-
gene Talmadge.
Charges Opinion Was Ready.
Mr.. Talmadge said he was in
formed that as soon as the case
was presented to him and before a
hearing from the alleged defendant
the judge reached into his pocket
and pulled out an opinion he had
already written and proceeded to
read it,"
Meanwhile, Mr.. Thompsons at
torneys prepared their answer to a
demand for dismissal of his suit
against Mr. Talmadge in another
Superior Court.
The decision in favor of Mr..
Thompson came from Judge Porter
i'll his ruling in suit which had
been moved up from an original
hearing date of February r.
Mr.. Thompson himself heard of
tine judges decision as he sat in
Henry County Superior Court at
McDonough, where Judge Walter
Hendrix was hearing Mr.. Thomp-
sons plea for an injunction to pre-
vent Mr.. Talmadge from exercising
executive authority as Governor.
After listening to Mr.. Talmadge's
attorneys argue for a dismissal of
the suit on several grounds, Judge
Hendrix continued the hearing until
10 am Monday.
Porter Ruling Cited.
Judge Porter held that Mr..
Thompson, as Lieutenant Governor,
became acting Governor when for
mer Gov. Ellis Arnall relinquished
the post January Is. The jurist also
declared that the State Legislature
had no authority to elect Mr.. Tai
madge Governor.
The ruling was In suit brought
by Mr.. Thompson to force members
of the State Pardon and Parole
Board to furnish him with certain
hsldgetary information. Judge Por-
ter directed the board members to
turn the desired information over to
Mr. Thompson as Acting Governor
Attorneys for the defendants said
the decision would be appealed
promptly.
Mr.. Talmadge himself was not a
party to the suit and Judge Porter
did not issue any order directing
him to relinquish the governorship.
Such an order, presumably, could
come from the suit being heard by
Judge Hendrix at McDonough which
is a direct action between the two
c1a ntS themselves

Indian Affairs Official
NotFrank on Budget,
Senator'S Charge,
Zimmerman Offers Cuts,
But Says Further Needs
Would Offset Them

Acting Indian Commissioner
William Zimmerman today was
accused OF mot being frank"
with the Senate Civil Service
Committee as he failed to comply
with the groups request to sub
nit specific proposals on how to
cut millions of dollars from the
Indian Bureaus expenditures.
The charge was made by Senator
Thse, Republican, of Minnesota, and
was seconded by Chairman LANCER
who declared, 81 agree with Sena-
tor Thye in every detail"
After a stormy session last week
during which Mr.. Zimmerman hae
baked at making specific recon-.
mendations, he had been subpoe-
naed as q witness and officially di.
rected to appear before the com.
mittee today with specific legisla-
tive proposals.
Some Suggestions Offered.
Mr.. Zimmerman today Offered
some legislative proposals which he
said would effect economy, but al
the same time he said he did not
believe that final economy would
result since his agency needed more
funds to care for some of the poor
er Indians" adequately.
"In other words" Senator Thye
retorted, "you come before this COM
mittee not prepared to tell us how
the Government can save money?
You tell us how we can save money
in some instances, but at the same
time you want to fatten some of
your other functions. You are not
being frank with the committee"
Senator LANCER broke in to say,
IF Mr.. Zimmerman will not tell
us how to cut expenditures, the
Congress will do it for him."
Turning to the witness, Senator
LANCER asked, What would you do
If Congress arbitrarily cut your ap-
preparations 100 per cent?"
Mr.. Zimmerman, whose bureau
last year spent $4,000, 900, replied,
well, we would have to cut our
functions accordingly" ..-
Earlier in the session, Mr.. Zim-
norman presented the committee
with legislative proposals which
would incorporate some individual
tribes with a view to removing them
from Federal jurisdiction; transfer
the administration of North Dakota
and California tribes from Federal
to State jurisdiction; and provide
for the withdrawal from tribes OF
individual Indians. .-
10000 Indians Seen Affected.
The witness said that about 10000
Indians would be affected by the first
two proposals. Tribes included In
the first proposal are located in
Oregon, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Minnesota and Washing
ton.
The fiareup occurred when Sem
ator Thye asked what the savings
would amour ito. When Mr.. zim-
norman replied that additional
bentfits to other Indians might off,
set the savings, Senator Thye ac-
cused him of not being frank with
the committee.
Senator Langer declared that his
committee, which is investigating
personnel and operating activities Of
Federal agencies, said the group
would make its own recommends
tions for the curtailment Of the In
dian Bureaus activities.

Isolating Communist Idea
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 THE BEST WAY to combat danger is to be familiar with it. That point is brought out most forcefully in recent article by J. Edgar Hoover in which he advises Americans to know of what they speak before they label individuals or ideas political philosophy. Admittedly, it holds grave threats for the democratic philosophy in the United States following But before solve the problems which Communism advances must-first of allisolate the cOmmunisc philosophy from the of political theories which eternally gC bouncing around us.
 Liberals and progressives, MT. Hoover says aren't Communists. They may lean toward what we call the left; may advocate certain changes in democratic system which, to of uS quite radical. But long they only seek alterations in and not chances from the democratic system they should not be reCted as Communists combated as Communists
 To maintain the democratic policies and programs in changing World must gear those programs to every change We must devote best efforts toward that end. If continue, under democracy, to provide the best living standards best goods and greatest prosper ity cause will be strong enough to overcome any outside opposition. Nothing succeeds the old saw insists like success.
 If concentrate making democracy work, we'll have only certain amount of time and energy available for the business of combating communisc efforts to wreck system It is important, then that all such surplus energy be aimed directly at those comunstc efforts We can't afford to waste it, Don Quixote did in battling windmlls Neither waste by fight ing true democrats whose only real hope is to improve the democratic system by altering it.
 Communism has grown strong-even menacing It is strong that it deserves the steady unwavering aim of our best guns Let's improve eyesght that aim can be true Let's learn to know Communist when we see-or hear-one

They Cant Override The Bill Of Rig ghts
(The Denver POSt)

TT EXPRESSES US that labor officials in their ag- taon freedom of the union press twisting the tail of papier-mache lion creature whose ferocity is largely imagined. If though the restriction political contributions which the Taft-Hartley act i'm poses upon unions (and cOrpOratOnS) could be inter preed to prohibit political in union newspa- pers would most certnly share their alarm But we confident the courts would never sustain such ban It true this anxiety is not without basis The law flaty forbids any labor organization make contr button expenditure in connection with any election to federal office There have been several unofficial opinionsisome of them from high places-that this provision bars newspapers supported by union funds from stating opinions candidates and issues.
 During the Senate debate on the measure, this point discussed at length. Under the nsisten questionino of Senators Pepper, Barley and Magnuson, Senator Taft maintained that papers operated union dues distinguished from labor organs sustained by voun tary subscriptions would be politically gagged. The prohibition, he said would extend to radio ad dresses on time bought with union money.
 But, with all respect to Senator Tafts legal learning suggest careful reading of the first article of the Bill of Rights, which says simply and without qua- cation:
 Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridgng the freedom of speech of the press'
 The constitution permits no limit upon the enjoyment of this freedom except that which is logically implicit in national security The language is clear and broad If Congress could deny circumscribe this right Amer ica's most basic liberty would be in jeopardy In view of this plain and unconditional protection of the constitution the current anxiety freedom of the union press looks very much though has been purposed exaggerated for propaganda purposes
 To any degree which this alarm is genuine, however labor urge should press test through to de- cison in the courts Let there be uncertainty about our freedoms.

other purposes for the develop ment O. the timber resources of the fore. under contracts made with the Secretary of Agriculture. The' sale of land and timber may be made notwithstanding any claim of possessory rights. Funds de- rived from the sale of timber and land will be maintained in a spe- cial account in the treasury until such time as the claims of aborig- inal rights of the southeastern Alaska Indians are determined, when payment will be made either to the Indians or be placed in the United States treasury.
 Approval was also given the same day by the Chief Executive ] tJ Delegate Bartlett's measure to allow exploration for and mining golds and other minerals in the beds of navigable streams in Alas ka. Safeguards are contained in the law for the Fish and Wildlife Service to keep constant check upon mining to make certain that the fish run is not endangered INTERIOR DEPARTMENT
 AGENCIES
 Three agencies of the Interior Department active in matters per taining to Alaska will move their headquarters from Chicago to Washington within the near fu- ture.
 The agencies concerned are the Office of Indian Affairs, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ma tional Park Service. During sev- eral years past these agencies were transferred to Chicago to make room in the Capital for war agen- cjeS. Ii is understood the first agency to return to Washington will be the Office of Indian Af- fairs which will begin it's move on or about October 1, to be followed by the other two agencies as soon as space can be found by the Pub bile Buildings Administration. FOREST ROADS
 From the funds for. forest high { way construction. rehabilitation and maintenance allowed by Con- greSS throughout the United States and Alaska of $5,3OO,OO0, Alaska's share will be S390,O0O for the fis- cal year 1948, according to infor- nation given Delegate Bartlett by the Forest Service.
 Embracing no funds for rehabil- Itatlon or new construction of for est highways in the Territory. this amount will be used for the main tenance of existing roads at the es- timated cost of S250 900 with the balance for surveys, administra- tion and equipment.
 Alaska's allotment for the pro- lection and management of the National Forest in the Territory for the fiscal year 1943 is S27l ,OOO and for forest development roads and trails, $2OO,3OO.
 The original request made of Congress called for the appropria- tion of $ll, ,300,0OO for forest high way construction, rehabliitauon and maintenance for the United States and Alaska, but Congress olashed this request by six million 1Ol1arc to CS Q00 OOO
