BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-A radio sta
ton attorney testified yesterday
that James c. Petrillo called strike
of three Chicago radio station Ii
brarians after refusing to negotiate
his demands with station officials.
The head of the AFL American
Federation of Musicians is on trial
in Federal court for the second time
on a charge of violating the Lea
Act, which prohibits union from
coercing an employer into hiring
more workers than are necessary
for a job. Mr.. Petrlllo won his first
trial
He is accused Of attempting to
coerce Station WAAF into hiring
three additional librarians who the
station contended are not needed
Lawyer Says Talk Was Rejected.
Harry Schulman of Aurora, Ill.
a lawyer acting on behalf of the
station, testified that Mr.. Petrillo
refused to hold conference on
his demands that WAAF' hire three
extra men, saying:
These radio stations have been
getting away with murder for a
long time"
When he first asked Mr.. Petrillo
for a conference, Mr.. Schulman
testified, the musicians chieftain
told him it was not necessary and
added that he was planning to take
his first vacation in five years and
didn't want to call 1t off.
Librarian Testifies.
Mr.. Schulman said the station
might be willing to hire one extra
employe but that Mr.. Petrillo re-
jected that suggestion, saying the
station had been making "big
profits" and could we'll afford to
hire three extra employees.
One of the three Librarians who
was called out on strike by Mr..
Petrillo, Art Ray of Chicago. testi-
fed the station could have used
additional record librarians "at
times"
In his opening argument, Mr..
Petrillo's lawyer, Daniel D. CARMEL,
contended labor's right to strike is
at stake in the trial.

BY the Associated Press

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Dec. 81
Deposed royalty of Italy, Bulgaria
and Russia followed the flag -draped
coffin of former King Victor En-
manuel III today to his temporary
tomb in the chapel of st. Cath
crimes Cathedral.
The former King died Sunday OF
double peumonia. He was in exile
from the Italy, where for 20 of
his 78 years he had played a sub
servient role to Benito Mussolini.
Umberto, his son, who reigned
only a month before Italy voted to
become a republic, arrived from
exile in Portugal by plane and
headed the mourners with his
mother Elena.
Coffin Wrapped in Tricolor.
1t was a military funeral. Eight
Egyptian sailors placed the wooden
coffin, wrapped in the Italian tri-
color, on a carriage drawn by six
artillery horses.
A full regiment of khaki-clad
Egyptian royal household cavalry

Indian Officials Say
| |Pakistan Will Be Cited
Before j. n. Council
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, Dec. 31.-Compe-
tent officials of the Dominion of
India said today their govern
ment, in an effort to avert war
with Pakistan," will bring the
Moslem dominion before the
United Nations Security Council
on charges that Pakistan is &C
lively aiding tribal raiders in
Kashmir.
These officials, who refused to be
identified by name. said Prime Min
ister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Of
India would make an official an
nouncement to this effect within a
few days and would discuss 1t fully
at a news conference at that time.
Kashmir, a predominantly Moslem
princely state in the extreme north
ern part of the subcontinent. &C
ceded to the Dominion OF India last
October 81. The accession was an
nounced in an official release of
correspondence in which the Hindu
maharajah, Sir Hari Singh, said:
Il have no option but to ask for
help from the Dominion of India"
Intermittent Fighting.
About 1000 Pathan tribesmen pre-
viously had invaded Kashmir and
had been engaged in combat by
state troops and Indian and Sikh
Ireinforcements flown into Sprinagar,
the Kashmiri capital. Fighting has
gone on intermittently ever since.
One highly placed spokesman said
the Indian position is this:
I'VE have ample evidence that
Pakistan is allowing raiders to main
tain military bases on Pakistan soil
from which striking forces enter
Kashmir. commit depredations, then
withdraw to bases where they are
safe from pursuit by Indian troops
whose duty it is to protect Kashmir,
since that princely state has become
part of the Indian Union.
But the assistance has gone even
farther. We know beyond question
that raiders are using modern
weapons and other implements of
war which could have come only
from Pakistan.
This Is an intolerable situation
between two countries like India
and Pakistan, both members of
the United Nations and officially
friendly countries. 1t is complete
violation of neutrality and an act
of aggression against friendly India.
Our desire is to appeal to the
Security Council in the hope that
by bringing the situation force
fully to the attention of the world
we can avert war with Pakistan.
The only alternative would be
for our troops to cross the border
into Pakistan and attack these
strongholds of aggression against us
or to attack them from the air.
That, of course, would mean war"

Skipper Tells of Sea Monster
Struck by u. S. Liner at Sea

stained red. The visible part of the
body was about IS feet long.
1t was assumed that the color of
the water was due to the creatures
blood and that the stem Of the ship
had cut the monster in two, but
as there was no observer on the
other side of the vessel there was
no way of estimating what length
of body might have been left on the
other side.
From the time the monster was
first sighted until it disappeared in
the distance astern. it was thrash
ing about as though in agony. The
monsters skin was dark brown,
slick and smooth. There were no
fins, hair or protuberances on the
head, neck or visible parts of the
body.

Transcription Firms
Say Petri|Io' S Edict
Won't Stop Business
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Oficials of
firms that produce transcribed pro-
grams for radio say they will con-
tinue turning out transcriptions in
considerable volume after James C.
Petrillo's January l ban on record
ings by members of his AFL Fedora
ton OF Musicians.
They point out that Mr.. Petrillos
ban affects only instrumental music,
leaving wide field for continued
recording operations.
This will be especially true Of the
transcription firms that make re-
cordings for radio stations OF such
things as spot commercial announce
ments and dramatic shows. For in
stance, Henry Lockwood, head of
WOR recording studios, said ma
jor portion Of the studios business
would be unaffected by the ban.
Some recorded programs, he said,
will have to be revised to eliminate
instrumental music.
Music Can Be Dubbed In.
An official of the World Broad
casting System, large scale producer
of transcriptions, said the question
of substituting vocal or recorded
musical background in transcription
shows will be up to the agency or
producer himself. But he said such
music could be dubbed in from ex-
listing recordings with no noticeable
difference to the radio listener.
cornnopu nf6
cial pointed out that the ban would
have no effect on vocal recordings
without instrumental music, or on
dramatic or comedy recordings. And
as for recordings made for home
use. it was pointed out that it's the
master recordings that are being
concentrated on now. The individ-
ual records or dressings" for the
public will continue to be made
from master recordings as there Is
a demand for them.
One Program Two Years Ahead.
An indication Of how far ahead
some of the musical transcriptionS
for radio broadcast have been pro-
duced is the backlog of the Frede-
rick w. xiv firm. The Ronald Cole
man dramatic series. with orchestral
background, has been made two
years ahead, the Guy Lombardo
musical show 18 months ahead and
the Wayne King show more than
one year ahead.
Mr.. Petrillo, arguing that musi-
clans destroy their own livelihood
by making recordings, insists that
the recording ban will be perma
nent. Industry officials generally
believe some solution eventually will
be worked out and recordings re-
sumed by the musicians union.
