Bill 10 Permit Enlistinq
$4,000 Aliens in Army
Ready for Hearing
By John A. Giles

An administration decision on Q
Senate bill to authorize the enlist
ment Of up to $4,000 aliens in the
United States Army is expected to
be ready this week for presentation
at hearing Of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, 1t was learned
yesterday.
Senator Lodge. Republican, Of
Massachusetts,, the bills author,
said he Is extremely optimistic"
over the measures chances of pas
sage and that the several interested
departments had been given the
past week ito iron out their diff
ferences."
I'VE had planned . hearing last
week." he said, "but when we were
told that the departments probably
could iron out their differences,
which arose largely from q mis-
understanding of the measure, We
postponed the hearing one week.
No time has been set for the hear.
ing, but it will be during the COM
ing week"
The measure was introduced
January 10. Since that time it has
been reviewed by several DEPART
ments, including Army, State and
Justice, it was learned.
Not . Foreign Legion.
Senator Lodge said the Army was
friendly towards his proposal.
The Senator emphasized that he
did not propose the formation OF .
United States foreign legion, similar
to the famed French Foreign
Legion. He looks on the alien
enlistees. should they be authorized.
as citizen candidates" They would
be integrated into Regular Army
units, he said.
The bill would provide for Ave-
year enlistments, after which the
ien-soldiers would be eligible for
citizenship in this country. They
would take over most of the occu-
patton duties Of the Army, which
now require more than one third Of
the total Army strength. They
would I'LL up the gaps which the
present system of voluntary re-
cruiting has been unable to fill.
Senator Lodge said he also saw
his plan as "a partial solution to
the problem of displaced persons
In that it would enable entrance, Of
certain selected persons into the
United States after satisfactory
military service"
Legal Angles Reviewed.
The review of the measure by
the Justice Department has been
not only on the legal technicalities.
but on the immigration features as
we'll.
Army spokesmen conceded that
the bill might face difficulties In
passage. American traditions, dating
back to the time of the Revolution,
when the British employed Hessians
to fight the colonists, are against
the employment of alien forces.
However. the possibility that
Congress will not pass the uni-
versal military training measure
and the fact that recruiting has not
given the service SUFFICIENT men
might Offset this factor, they point
ed out.

"British-American propaganda

role now played by the Soviet

Dispute Is Settled
by the Associofsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The New
York Stock and Curb Exchanges
headed toward strike today for the
second time in the history Of the
financial district.
After a last-minute settlement
with the New York Cotton Ex-
change, a union official said nego-
tiations with the other exchanges
REMAIN absolutely deadlocked."
M. David Keefe, president of the
AFL United Financial Employees,
said the union Is prepared to issue
a strike call at any time after cur
rent contracts expire at midnight
Monday. He stated about 5000
employees of the two exchanges
would be affected, as well as 26
brokerage firms with exchange
memberships with whom the union
has contracts.
Meetings Scheduled.
A year ago a strike by financial
employees threatened Wall Street
operations. Agreement was reached
after Intervention by New York
City's Emergency Mediation Com
mittee, headed by Grover A. Wha-
len.
Cancellation meetings between the
union and exchanges arenow sched-
,,IaJ fo,. ,oov{ .x,ooJr5 t,sff "a Fl ar nvyi =
ration of the March / deadline.
Mr.. Keefe said the union has re-
jected as inadequate a Curb Ex-
change offer of a temporary cost
OF living bonus and Stock ex-
change proposal for an average wage
increase of 7 per cent.
Both exchanges" Mr.. Keefe
declared, refused to give us union
shop even though the employees
voted 100 per cent for the union
shop"
To Maintain Ticker Services.
Emil Schram, Stock Exchange
president, said during the week
that it appears "the union is not
anxious to enter into a new con-
tract before the time the nonstrike
agreement in our present contract
expires"
Both exchanges have announced
their quotation ticker services will
be maintained in event of a strike
The agreement between the Cot
ton Exchange and union provided
for weekly wages of about $50 for
building employees and $65 for senior
floor employees. Both sides declined
to reveal the amount of the increase
but one source stated that the over
all advance totaled 8.8 per cent. A
modified union shop also was agreed
upon.

HoeberIe May Have Been Killed
Accidentally During Robbery

and can be opened only with q Key
from outsider by the occupant
inside.
Mr.. Baer went downstairs to
check on the occupant of room Sal.
He found that Mr.. Haeberle had
been at the hotel In December and
January and assumed he was a
guest who could have had visitors
In such clothes. Mr.. Baer did not
check back to see If all was well
in SAL.
Eleven pm. or shortly afterwards,
occupant of Room 543, adjoining Mr..
Haeberles on the south, heard the
toilet in Sal being flushed again and
again, for as long as Is minutes.
police theorize that the killer or
killers may have been trying to
destroy evidence-what evidence,
however, is the question:
Maid Discovered Body.
Wednesday, 1880 p.m.-Mrs. Mary
Keane, hotel maid, opened the door
to clean the room, saw Mr.. Hae-
berle's trussed body and the room
In disarray, called the manager and
detective who called police.
Police found Mr.. Haeberle lying
face down on the bed. The bed
clothes had been pulled back and
the bottom sheet torn into strips
to bind Mr.. Haeberle. On the bed
side table they found a burned Gig
arctic. partially stuck to the glass
top indicating it had been left there
to 60 out.
The room was in disarray-draw-
ers had been pulled out OF the
dresser and desk and obviously had
been searched. "A lamp had been
overturned, Mr.. Haeberle's suitcase
had been ransacked, but no furni-
ture had been broken. The appear
ance was more Of a search for
money than that of struggle be-
tween Mr.. Haeberle and the killer
or killers.
The hotel walls are not too thick,
a real struggle probably would have
been heard. Mr.. Haeberle was clad
only in blue-striped shorts and a
white T-shirt.
No Marks of Violence
+ There were no marks of violence
on his body, he had not been struck
over the head with q blunt instru-
ment. New York's chief medical ex-
aminer, DR.. Thomas A. Gonzales,
said he had been suffocated by push
ing his face deep into the mattress.
Detective Baer estimated the Wis
itor was between rs and n years Of
age, about feet 8 or 8 inches tall,
weighing from 40 to $50 pounds.
Mr.. Haeberle was IS years of age,
was 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed
about 140 pounds. DR.. Gonzales said
he had been in good physical condi-
ton.
Mr.. Haeberle lived in a pleasant
suburban home near Falls Church
with his WIFE, Mrs. Matte Haeberle,
and two young. sons. Mrs. Haeberle
left yesterday for New Ulm, Mimi,
where funeral services will be held
tomorrow. She was accompanied by
her brother, Sumner Macomber of
Des Moines, Iowa.
His one diversion was the theater.
He had purchased printed copies Of
many of the Broadway hits from a
mail order publishing Arm In New
York and had made every effort to
see the new shows on his trips to
Manhattan. ...t -.
! In January, he, was'lucky. He fol i
bwed his usual practice Of going I'd
the box office nve minutes before
curtain time to see If any last min
ute returned tickets were available
at the regular price. He was able to
do what many New Yorker has
not yet done, get in to see the
Broadway hit, "A Streetcar Named
Desire"

when he returns from Florida. Most
of the Government unions protest.
ing the order are AFL afflliates who
have more than 100000 members,
many of them in Navy establish
ments. They contend 1t will seri-
ously hamper their activities since
it will deprive them OF the services
of top-level members.
The Navy insists that the order
is necessary, contending that super
visory employees are part OF the
management level and cannot per-
form their duties satisfactorily II
they are the direct representatives
of the very men they have to boss.
PAY STRATEGY-Although Gov
ernment employe groups publicly
urge permanent rather than tenn
porary Federal pay raises, they con-
fide that they are willing to settle
for temporary wage boosts, .,sa..
Back ofsthae is the, feeling that
any temporary pay raise granted
Federal workers will be made per-
manent ultimately.
For example. the Rees bill WOULD
extend only to June 80, 1949. But
pay-bill supporters feel that living
costs, while they may come down
some between now and next year.
won't come down enough to justify
taking away these raises.
So they feel that next year Con-
gress would either enact new legis-
lation making the raises permanent
or else set up new Federal CLASH
f1cation Act which would include the
temporary" raises.
That is exactly what happened
after World War I. Government
workers were given a cost-of- living
bonus, and the bonus was later in
corporated into the 1923 Classifica-
ton Act. % -
SURPRISE-House Appropria lions
Committee members recently were
startled by the. testimony OF FBI
Chief J. Edgar Hoover that APP
parently l out Of Is Government
employees or Federal job applicants
have q police record.
Mr.. Hoover disclosed that thus far
in checking fngerprints IN the Gov
ernment's loyalty program, the FBI
has found this to be the case.
And most of these were felonies,
not misdemeanors. What this will
mean to the employees involved Is up
to the Civil Service Commission and
| the agencies in which they are en-
ployed. Some already have been
dismissed, others have been repri-
manded and other cases are awaiting
action.
CAPITAL ROUNDUP-This is the
last call for you to get the civil
service booklet explaining the new
retirement and dependency insur-
ance benefits accruing to Govern
ment employees and their families:
To get your copy, send me postcard
at The Star. . There are plenty
of stenographic jobs available IN
Federal agencies here. Almost every
bureau is shorthanded.

Steel Output Expected
To Reach New Peak
In Current Month
RY ths Assoeiafsd Rrasx

CLEVELAND, Nov. 29-Steel pro-
duction is maintaining its record
pace, the magazine Steel said today.
Output In November is expected
to reach q new all-time monthly
high. surprising the October peak
OF 7,973,4l7 ingot tons. The Ma
tional ingot rate held at 80 per cent
last week for the fifth consecutive
week Of near-capacity operations.
The outlook for the winter pig
iron and scrap supply Is good, Steel
said.
THE current pig iron supply is
improving with several recently idle
stacks returned to operation after
being down for repairs. Scrap in
ventories are reported the best In
many months"
Consumers, however, stand little
chance Of obtaining supply relief
through elimination Of certified ton
mage, the magazine said.
Certified tonnage may take even
a larger bite Of overall supply next
year in view Of the steel committees
approval Of a mining machinery

highly mixed of any Of the major
groups. Aircrafts were irregular and
inactive.
Today's almost dead center type Of
trading was 0 continuation of the
Friday and Saturday markets which
ended unchanged on average and
marked q three-day plateau after
the losses preceding the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday.
Higher at times were United Steel,
Youngstown Sheet e. Tube, General
Motors, Central Railroad of New

cific, Bendix Aviation, Glenn Mar
