under given circumstances.
Even at that, there's nothing SIM
pie about 1t.
Take India. The current plan for
that teeming subcontinent, recently
graduated to independence, Is for
industrialization.
Would the resulting increase in
wealth cut into the heavy over
population regarded as one of In
dias ills?
Not necessarily right away. In
fact, the reverse might happen.
India's population may shoot up
with the first gain in material goods
and gobble up that additional pro-
duction before newly increased
wealth could act as reducing fac

DR.. Reed noted that Japan's

3Priests Will Be Tried
|By Czechs as PIofters
For Separate Ukraine
BY the Associated Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Dec. 8.
Three Greek Orthodox priests are
to be tried here next week on
charges Of leading a fight to carve
great Ukrainian republic out of
parts of Soviet Russia and her Com
munist neighbors.
Press and radio attacks on both
the Greek and Roman Catholic
churches preluded the announce
ment Of details last night. The
priests are formally accused of anti
state activities.
Communists control the press
and radio Of Czechoslovakia, just
as they control the government.
The anti-clerical attacks followed
a pattern already familiar in such
Communist nations as Poland,
Yugoslavia, Hungary and Ro-
mania.
OUkrainian nationalist move
ments develop sporadically in
Eastern Europe. Guerrilla bands
have troubled the Communists
since the war, but none appears
to have accomplished muchD
The three priests-Pavel Hlucko,
Rehor Buranic and Sebastian Sabol
are charged with being the actual
leaders of anti-Communist Ukrain-
ians fighting to establish republic
extending from the Kuban River in
Russia to the Poprad River in East
ern Czechoslovakia.
Such a state could cut more than
300 miles across sections OF Slovakla,
Poland. Romania, the Soviet Ukraine
and CosSack country OF the Soviet
Union. The Kuban River rises IN
the Caucasus and flows into the
Black Sea from the east.
The priests and two other defend
ants are charged with cooperating
with remnants of Ukranian band
formed during the war by former
student, Stepan Bandera, who at
tempted to set himslef up as Ukraln-
ian Premier with Nazi help.
The two other defendants are DR..
Emil Ivanco, a lawyer. and lay
church official named Zilininsky.
The Czechoslovak press and radio
said Bandera, variously reported
killed or captured in Russia year
ago, had set up a Ukranian Nation
alist group at Munich, in the Ameri-
can-occupied zone of Germany. The
agencies said he had worked IN
Munich since 1945.
Preliminary charges against the
five men held said raid on Greek
Catholic headquarters disclosed
forged documents and false citizen
ship papers to help refugees travel
into the American zone OF Ger
many.

Alabama White Man
Convicted in Attack
On Negro Woman
ey the Associofed Press

WETUMPKA, Ala, Dec. S.-A
white man was convicted by an
all-white jury last night of raping
a young Negro woman and was
sentenced to As years in prison
The prosecution had urged the jury
to prove a Negro can get justice
In an Alabama court.
The jurors wanted to 60 further
fix it so the man, John c. Howard,
jr., operator of a garage and mat
tress factory, could not get pardon
or parole. But Circuit Judge Oakley
Melton told them not Ito worry
about" that. In Alabama, the jury
prescribes the sentence.
Howard, from Friendship, Ala,
was convicted of raping 22-year-old
Melinda Jackson last April rs. Next
on the courts docket Is the trial of
his, cousin, Jack Oliver, 20, on an
indictment charging that he raped
Melinda's 23-year-old companion,
Annie Grayson, at the same time.
The men were accused of robbing
the women's husbands, chasing them
away with pistol shots and at
tacking the women after forcing
them to enter a pickup truck.
Howard admitted in court he had
been intimate with Melinda. but said
he did not use force of threats.
Melinda said he did.
Circuit Solicitor Winston Hud-
dleston argued that the white man
could have attacked the woman
without a gun because Negroes
fear white people /" and do what
q white man tells them"
Mr.. Huddleston closed his argu-
ment with a plea for proof that
Negroes can take their injuries to
court and see justice done.
Howard. in his own testimony,
blamed mis- conduct on drink. He
was downcast and silent as he re-
ceived his sentence.

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 3.-Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron OF Argentina
saws it is esay to brand a man
Communist, but the thing to do Is
not to make Communists by giving
everybody a better life"
Gen. Peron told group of lawyers
supporting the governments pro-

night that the fight between Com
munism and capitalism has spread
all over the world.
In Argentina, he said, the issue
t lies between the old ruling classes
and the people. Gen. Peron SAID
he has chosen the side OF the people.
He added:
But other countries have sided
with the capitalists. Some places
already have concentration camps
where they send workers accused
of being Communists"
Observers speculated whether
Gen. Peron was referring to Chile,
which recently outlawed Commu-
nism and ordered that Communists
be moved to remote towns.
Some also recalled that Chilean
Official recently said a plot aimed
at overthrowing the Chilean gov
ernment was inspired outside the
country.
"a dispatch from Santiago
said a Chilean military prose-
cutor has sent to military court
charges against 27 men accused
of plotting to overthrow the gov
ernment. The prosecutor has
charged the plot was inspired
in Argentina.")
The Argentine Foreign Ministry
issued a statement last night deny
ing that Argentina had been in
volved in the alleged plot in Chile
The statement said Argentina
traditionally has refrained from in
terfering in the internal affairs OF
