Tenth of Money Turned In.
Only a few large merchants, who
could justify possession of that
much yen, turned in over 10000.
One man estimated only tenth of
the 8,OO0,0O0,0O0 red yen in cir
culation was turned in. Many, he
said, feared prosecution as profiteers
or black marketeers if they turned
in large sums.
Debtors sought eagerly to pay up
with old yen, but creditors were re-
luctant to accept, urging the debtor
to pay me next spring" A few an
grily threw fists full of red yen into
the air, gave them away, or scat
tered them around on the streets,
travellers related.
Some sought to buy up old Chosun
yen, printed in Japan and used be-
fore the liberation, with the inten-
ton of taking it to South Korea
where 1t would still be negotiable at
banks. One traveller said high
North Korean government officials
must have known of the exchange
two weeks in advance and acted ac-
cordingly, because none appeared at
banks to turn in old yen.
The same source also said Soviet
and North Korean PEOPLES Army
officers and enlisted men were al
lowed to exchange up to 10000 yen
each.

San Francisco Jury Calls
City Second U.S.. Red Center

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. II (P.-
The San Francisco grand jury
termed the city the second largest
Communist center In the United
States in a report last night urging
establishment of a police intelligence
department to hunt Reds"
The report recommended that the
Communist Party ''be Immediately
outlawed in the United States"
This city is the administrative
center Of Communist activities in
the Western United States and
Hawaii. AS a vital shipping and
transportation center, San Fran
cisco is in a precarious position
when exposed to such active disrup-
tive elements within the gates" the
report said.
The grand jury proposed that the
intelligence department be separate
from the rest of the police force and
accountable only to the chief of
police.

Buis Acquitted on Charges
Of Shooting GI al Apartment

Sherman E. Buis, 81, former War
Department employe, was acquitted
today by Justice Richmond B.
Keech Of District Court on charges
Of shooting and wounding William
r. Hall, 18, Boiling Field soldier,
last August at Buis' apartment.
Hall had gone to the Buis apart
ment in the 2400 block of Sixteenth
street NV. as a guest, according to
testimony.
Buis testified Hall was wounded
during a scuffle over a pistol. Ear
lier, he admitted firing one shot,
not at the soldier, but in an effort
to have him remain until police
arrived, believing he had some cos
tune jewelry and other items be-
longing to the defendant.
In making his decision, Justice
Keech said he WIS not satisfied be-
yond a reasonable doubt that Buis
had used excessive force to detain
Hall until police arrived. He ruled
that Buis had right to detain the
soldier.
Yesterday Hall testified he was
shot after he had called Buis a
name. Charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon and assault
with intent to kill, Buis had waived
jury trial.

Noted Italian DueIisf
Laments Arts Decline

ROME, Dec. II (NANA). - Col.
Giulio Albertini, who has supervised
419 duels in the last 40 years, Ia
ments that the noble art of sword
and rapier is now almost dead, the
finer points of dueling forgotten.
Col. Albertini has been a busy
man in his time, refereeing as many
as three duels day in the good old
times" All his 419 affairs were
fought over points Of honor, some
involving the exchange Of insults
during the polemics in which Italian
politicians, writer's and journalists
periodically engage, some involving
affairs Of the heart.
In fact, no italian duelist likes to
fight without the colonel being pres
ent, as he is such an expert swords
man he can prevent. serious wounds
by swift interposing thrust which
will disarrn b too enthusiastic pro-
ponent. 1t is certainly a satisfac-'
ton to know beforehand that honor
can be maintained without getting
killed in the process.

Witness Says Union
Asked Pay for Work
Done by Nonmember
by the Assoeiofsd Press

UTICA, N. Y, Dec. 1.-The first
witness In unique NLRB action
In Federal court testified yesterday
he was a member Of the AFI
teamsters' local charged under the
Taft Hartley law with unfair labor
practices against him.
The witness, Henry Rabouin, op-
orator Of the Conway Express Line
of Pittsfield, Mass. said Local 2s1
Of Albany had demanded last Jan
uary that he put union drivers on
trucks he leased in August, 1916, to
the Middle Atlantic Transportation
Co. Of New Britain, Conn.
MIR. Rabouin said the Connecticut
firm had agreed to provide its own
drivers and pay operating expenses,
including wages.
Drivers Still Out.
He has charged that the union
sought to exact wages for a union
driver when the truck was operated
by nonunion man.
The teamsters struck against him
he testified, after one of the leased
trucks arrived at the Pittsfield
terminal last September. He agreed
to settlement terms September 27,
he said, but did not sign a contract
with the union. The drivers still
are out, he added.
The NLRB petition, first Of two
"test" cases before Judge Stephen
w. Brennan, asks injunctions cover
ing for the first time these alleged
union practices:
Forcing an employer to pay for
services not performed; carrying on
secondary boycotts against any en-
ployer; coercing an employer in the
choice Of his bargaining agent, and
forcing an employer to agree to a
closed shop.
Testimony Is expected to be con-
cluded by tomorrow. Attorneys in
dicated not all of the rs persons
subpoenaed would be called to the
stand.
Second Case to Be Heard.
Mr.. Brennan said he would begin
Monday in Albany to hear the Sec
ond NLRB action, based on charges
of secondary boycotting filed by
Montgomery Ward & Co.
Under cross Mr.. Ra-
bouin said he had filed no complaint
with the Teamsters based on rights
he might have as a member in ques-
tions before the court.
The union attorney, Harry Poz-
efsky, Gloversville, declared in his
opening argument that the Taft
Hartley law "can not invalidate
contracts made prior" to its enact
ment.
"By legal implication, there is a
good, valid contract" Mr.. Pozefsky

able but the impression at the Trea-
ury Ministry was that the terms
would be accepted.
The government, under bitter at
tack from Leftists, was said to have
increased public works allotments
to absorb the unemployed.
Special Allotment Granted.
The Chamber Of Labor refused last
night to agree to an allotment Of
about 1900, 900 900 lire (about $18,-
650,00O for public works, saying it
covered projects already approved
for the most part. The labor organ
ization had demanded a special 10,-
600 900, 900 lire allotment to give work
to the estimated 10000 unemployed
in Rome Province.
Thousands milled in the streets of
Rome. Shops, stores and restau-
rants were shut tight and transit
facilities were lacking.
Indications were that the strike
lacked full public support.
The Vatican's L'Osservatore Ro-
mano and the Christian Democrat
section of the Chamber of Labor,
which voted against the strike, de-
clared the strike was motivated by
politics.
The Christian syndicalist move
ment scattered leaflets saying work
ers had mot been consulted" and
urging them to return to work
because production "alone can solve
the problem of labor and recon-
struction."
500 Troops Guard Square.
The Mutual Cooperative Union
Of Rome Province also declared the
strike was political and asked its
members not to participate. ;
About 500 Regular Army troops
took over guard duty in midtown
Colonna Square. A crowd of several
thousand persons had been play
ing tag with jeeploads of police
there for an hour or more, and
cheered the troops. A government
spokesman said the movement was
'A precautionary measure. ,a,s73s-ss
e Police riot squads, trying to keep
the crowd moving, charged onlook- :
ers repeatedly with 10 jeeps and
two troop carriers. However, the
crowd for the most part had taken
this action in good humor, its more
daring members tagging" the jeeps.
$4,000 Unemployed Issue.
The Chamber of Labor of Rome
Province said there had been
no attempts by workers to violate
the strike call.
Light, gas and water services con-
tinued uninterrupted, as did inter-
national telephone and telegraph
services. Workers in those fields
were exempted from the strike call,
along with hospital workers, milk
and food haulers. Food stores were
given permission to remain open
until l pm.
The strike arose out Of the plight
Of Rome's estimated 10000 unem-
ployed. The issue was seized on
suddenly by the leftist foes Of
Premier Alcide de Gasperi after a
skirmish between police and Job
less rioters in the slum suburb Of
Primavalle, in which a slum- dwell
er was killed.
