Ukrainian Nationalists
Reported Destroyed
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW. Jan. 26.-Nikita Krush-
chev has informed the Ukrainian
Supreme Soviet that an "insignifi-
cant gang of Ukrainian National
lists" has been destroyed.
Mr.. Krushchev is secretary of the
Communist Party in the Ukraine
and a member of the Politbureau.
A Pravda dispatch from Kiev yes
terday quoted him as telling the
Ukrainian Soviet the Ukrainlan
people will root out remnants of the
Nationalists.
Mr.. Krushchev asserted that "all
enemies of communism, the syco-
phants of capitalism, did everything
and are doing everything to drive a
wedge between the Russian and
Ukrainian peoples and thus destroy
the foundation of our strength"
The nationalist movement in the
Ukraine has existed for many years.
Under the Brest Litovsk Treaty
with Germany in February, 1918,
Russia recognized Ukrainian inde-
pendence, but the treaty was abro-
gated by Allied victory on the West
ern front
During German occupation of the
Ukraine in World War II Hitler
sought to capitalize on Ukrainian
aspirations for independence.
Since the war various reports of
Ukrainian nationalist efforts have
been received in Western Europe.
Many of these came from Poland,
where officials said Ukrainian ter
rorist bands were raiding and burn
ing villages. X

illegal Raid Charged
In Subpoena ofPapers
G5I Strike Probe
Hoffman, Union Official
Clash at Hearing Over
Application of Labor Law

An attempt by a House Labor
Subcommittee today to subpoena
leaders and records of the United
Public Workers of America, CIO,
during an inquiry into the Gov
ernment Services, Inc, cafeteria
strike, provoked a union employe
to charge that the committee
staff made an illegal raid" on
the union Offices here.
Chairman Hoffman of the House
Labor subcommittee and Alfred
Bernstein, director of negotiations
for UPWA, clashed at an open hear
ing over application Of the Taft
Hartley Act to the GSI dispute.
Mr.. Hoffman cited testimony of
Labor Department and National
Labor Relations Board lawyers to
support his contention that GSI
was not obliged to bargain with the
United Cafeteria Workers Union,
UPWA-CIO, after it's leaders refused
to file anti-Communist affidavits.
Witnesses Outline Law.
He added, however, that the Gov
ernment counsel had said GSI was
not prohibited from bargaining.
The two witnesses who had OUT
lined the law on this point earlier
in today's hearing were William S.
Tyson, Labor Department Solicitor,
and Robert N. Denham, general
counsel for NLRB.
Mr.. Denham told the subcom-
mittee the intent of the Taft
Hartley law had been to eliminate
Communist activity from labor
unions with the maximum amount
of pressure available"
This pressure, he said, is being
exerted successfully by denying
NLRB privileges to unions whose
officials refuse to file such affidavits.
Tyson Explains Opinion.
Mr.. Tyson explained his opinion,
given last week to Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach, that GSI
could bargain with the union des-

To Develop Synthetic
Petroleum Industry
Report to Congress Says
Work Must Be Done in
Next 5 to 10 Years
By the Associated Press


A $4,000, 100000 outlay over the
next S to 10 years to produce
synthetic oil and gasoline on a
commercial basis was proposed
to Congress today by Secretary
of the Interior Krug.
With winter-accentuated petrol
cum shortages sharpening his words
Mr.. Krug said in formal report:
'It is clear now that the United
States cannot rely exclusively on
petroleum to supply all future re-
quirements for liquid fuels and re-
lated products"
The Nation, he commented, al
ready "is squeezed between increas-
ing demand and decreasing produc-
tive capacity" And if the interna-
tional trend toward mechanical
economies continues "the proper
tion of the worlds oil available to
the United States may diminish
markedly" he said.
Too Big for Emergency Operation.
But setting up a synthetic fuel
industry, Mr. Krug said, sis far too
large an operation and requires too
much time to be undertaken under
en- ergency or war conditions.
Mr.. Krug's report said that to
produce roughly 100000 barrels of
oil a day, which is less than 40 per
cent of the country's present daily
consumption, would require about
5000, 900 tons of steel and the ex-
penditure of around $4,000, ,000, ,000."
Visualizing the program as 10
times the magnitude of the syn
thetic rubber program developed
during the war, Mr.. Krug added
"It should be undertaken now
when the country is at peace and
completed over period of S to 10
years."
Mr.. Krug made his proposal on the
basis of a lengthy report outlining

Testimony Concluded
In Murphy Trial With
0nIy2 New Witnesses
Final Arguments Due
Wednesday; 80 Officers
Back Rotation Plan
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.

The decentralization" trial OF
Fire Chief Clement Murphy
closed today, so far as the taking
of testimony is concerned. .
Prosecution and defense attorneys
are scheduled to make their final
arguments wednesday. Then a
three-man civilian trial board,
which has been hearing testimony
since January II, will begin deciding
whether the fire chief is fit to con-
tinue in his job.
The trial will not be in session
tomorrow and attorneys are expected
to spend the day preparing their
closing statements.
The end came more quickly than
had been expected. Of eight new
witnesses scheduled, only two ac-
tually appeared today.
33 Men Support Chief.
Into the record, by stipulation of
both sides, went a list of 33 names
of Fire Department officers who if
called, would have supported their
chief. They included two deputy
chiefs, six battalion chiefs and %
captains, as well as the fire marshal
and the superintendent of ma
chinery. .
In numbers, of witnesses, the
chiefs supporters, therefore, almost
exactly equalled the lineup of those
testifying for the prosecution.
The 33 officers backing Chief
Murphy said his rotation system
of personnel transfers had helped
rather than harmed the depart
ment's efficiency, and that morale
had not been lowered either as a
result of establishment of this sys-
tenn or as a result of discussion by
members of the department of in
cidents alleged in the indictment of
the chief.
Murphy Testifies Again.
The first witness this morning was
Chief Murphy himself, who has testi-
fed every day since the defense took
over the case last Monday. His
testimony related to a charge that
he used ungentlemanly language to
Battalion Chief (then captain) Gill
bert A. Cole at Engine House No. II
on or about July Is, 1916.
Chief Murphy is accused of having
told MI Cole, who had just moved
to No. IT, that he hoped the new
quarters would be better kept than
those Mr.. Cole had left, which he
Eallegedly said we're in "pigpen condi-
ton" Earlier, the chief had told
the board he had not been in Engine
House No. II during the entire
month of July, 1916.
Today he said he had learned
from a study of the records that he
had visited the house on August 81,
1916. He denied, however, that he
had such a conversation with Mr..
Cole on that occasion.
