son said.
1T is not my intention to criti-
cize any members of the board
which carries out the functions Of
NLRB and know that this agency,
even if only for Housekeeping pur-
poses, will be much more effective
If placed in the Department of Labor

Mr.. Gibson said that Federal Sc

service and unemployment compen-
sation functions under him def
nitely belong in the Labor Depart
ment."
AS for the Cancellation service,
which was made an independent

Edward A. Alexander Dies;
forgotten Man Of Repeal
BY the Asseeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Edward
A. Alexander, IS, known as the
forgotten man Of repeal" because
his role in working for repeal OF
prohibition is known generally only
to lawyers, died yesterday.
A header Of judicial reforms, Mr..
Alexander originated the legal solu-
ton that eventually led to uncondi-
tional repeal Of the 18th amend
ment.
In 1924. he began urging support
Of unconditional repeal, instead OF
modification Of the Volstead Act.
Most lawyers believed uncondi-
tional repeal could not succeed. So
did New York Democratic leaders.
The late Alfred E. Smith, the Ma
tion's repeal leader, also opposed as
impractical Mr.. Alexander's plan
for a congressional resolution sub.
mitting unconditional repeal to the
people Of each State under the State
convention method.
But i'm 1926, Senator Edward I.
Edwards of New Jersey introduced
the resolution. Eventually. it was
the system adopted.

Atomic Worker Dies
Of BeryIIium Poison
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. ID. - Armando
RodrigueS. a worker at the atomic
laboratory at Los Alamos, N. Mex,
died in Billings Memorial Hospital
here last Saturday from beryllium
poisoning, spokesman for the
Atomic Energy Commissions Chi
cago office reported yesterday.
He had been treated in various
hospitals throughout the country in
an effort to combat the effects Of
the deadly poisoning.
In Washington, the Atomic En-
ergy Commission said in o state
ment:
"Rodrigues apparently developed
a progressive lung disease due to
overexposure to beryllium. This dis
ease has been encountered in in
dustry and cases have been re-
ported and studied in the medical
literature. The illness did not come
from irradiation or radioactivity,
nor was it disease confined to the
atomic energy program"
The medical description Of the
immediate cause Of his death was
"granulomatosis."
The commission gave this history
of his case:
In December, 1s47, he was ad-
mitted to the Edward L. Trudeau
Foundation at Saranac Lake, N. Y,
for disqualification. He later was
transferred to the Rhode Island
Hospital, Providence, then to Bill
ings at Chicago.
He had been employed as chem
ist at LoA Alamos Laboratory by
the University of California, which
operates the laboratory under Acc
contract, from February, 1946, to
December, 1947. From November,
l943, to August, 1914, he worked at
the metallurgical laboratory at Chi
cago for the Manhattan District,
the Government agency originally
developing the atomic bomb. From
August, 1914. to February, 1916, he
was employed in a similar job by
Brown University at Providence,

Enlistment Of Soviet
Aid in Pacific Is Laid
To Bad Intelligence
BY tho Asseeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Rear
Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias says a
bad guess by the Allied Joint Chiefs
OF Staff, based on intelligence agents
faulty conception of Japan's strength,
led President Roosevelt to enlist
Soviet Russia for the Pacific war.
Admiral Zacharias is q former
deputy chief Of the Once of Naval
Intelligence. Writing in the January
issue Of the magazine United Ma
tions World, he says:
Eventual Russian participation
IN the war against Japan was a
promissory note the joint chiefs had
been holding since Teheran, In -ls43.
Since September, 1914, they had been
urging Roosevelt to collect on 1t. 80.
Two Estimates Prepared.
Their Goint chiefs decision to
bring the USSR into the Pacific war
was based on o crucial document
drafted in the fall of 1914 by the
Intelligence section of the War De-
partment general staff. It's
pessimism. its exaggeration of Jap
anese potentialities, made Russian
participation in the Pacific war seem
TO them virtually imperative. They
lnwittingly stampeded Roosevelt into
supporting them.
Later, when I was directed by
the Secretary Of the Navy to draft
an estimate Of my own, found out
that the War Department had pre-
pared two estimates rather than one
but somehow the more accurate
and, from out point of view, optim-
istic evaluation Of Japanese poten-
was pigeonholed by a COM
petitive intelligence outfit In the
Assistant Secretary's Office.
Ends In Same Pigeonhole.
MY own estimate-explicitely ad-
vising against Soviet participation
in the Pacific war on the grounds
that it was not required by our own
necessities-reached con-
illusions almost literally identical
with the optimistic evaluation of
the War Department. It, too, ended
up in the same Pentagon pigeon
hole"
Admiral Zacharias says the pes
simistic report credited Japan with
5 ,000, 900 officers and men. and the
optimistic reports set Japan's
strength at 100000 effective COM
bat troops.

Who Befriended Them
BY the Assoeioisd Press

ERIE, Mich, Dec. Estate police
picked up two young hitch -hikers
early today and said the youths ad.
mitted the robbery Staying Of theil
S0-year-old landlady in Toledo
Ohio.
The two, identified as AWOL from
the Army, were seized less than -four
hours after Mrs. Lucille Harwold
was bludgeoned to death in he,
rooming house.
State Trooper Edward Mongeon
named the pair as Harold Sweet
%, Johnstown, Ohio, and Ira
Thomas Howell, II, Beckley, w. Va
Formal charges against the two
youths were held UP until Capt
Ralph Murphy Of the Toledo City
police can obtain warrants, Mr.
Mongeon said. He said Sweet and
Howell were expected to waive
extradition later today.
Although the youths have been
AWOL from Fort Jackson, s. c.,
since November 80, State police said
Army authorities were not expected
to enter the picture.
The two had stolen q diamond
ring and q watch, police said.
Their arrest and subsequent story,
Mr.. Mongeon said. disclosed the fact
OF Mrs. Harwold's death.
Until the call from State police
here, authorities in Toledo had been
unaware of the incident but verified
1t Immediately, the trooper said.
Sweet and Howell were stopped on
highway 6 miles from the Ohio
line for routine questioning at
1890 am.
Blood was seen on their clothes
when they were brought to the Erie
State Police post, Mr.. Mongeon said.
Questioning finally brought out
their story, he said, and Howell
admitted striking Mrs. Harwold over
the head with an iron bar in her
living room.
No money was taken in a ran
sacking Of the home.
Mr.. Mongeon said that Howell, a
slim 6-footer, and Sweet, a small
youth, told of lust wanting some
money" in order to 60 on with a
tour Of the country"
The loot from Mrs. Harwold was
apparently modest. Police here val
ued the diamond ring at $400 or $500
The watch was an fashioned
woman's watch.
Police said Howell and Sweet ad-
mitted receiving money from Mrs.
Harwold when they went broke in

u. S.-Western Europe
Defense ordination
Reported Complete
By the Associatsd Press

Diplomatic informants reported
today that plans have been worked
out for co-ordinating American
military operations in Europe with
those OF the five-power Western Eu-
ropean Union In event of q conflict
with Russia.
Actually. fully qualified infor-
mants said there is no fear here
that such trouble is either imminent
or inevitable. American policy is
based on the concept that the best
way to avoid a conflict is to match
Russian power with Western power.
The agreement apparently was
considerably advanced by confer
ences in Germany q month ago be-
tween Gen. Lucius D. Clay, Amer
ican commander in Europe, and
Britain's Field Marshall Viscount
Montgomery. Field Marshal Mont
gomery is ranking military leader
of the Western union powers-Brit-
ain. France, Belgius, The Neither
lands and Luxembourg.
Because of his position as chair
man of the top military committee
of the Western union and because
the American military command is
now more concerned with global
aspects Of strategy than with West
ern Europe alon, Field Marshall
Montgomery would take operational
control of American as well as West
ern union troops under the agree
ment worked out If an emergency
arose.
Authorities here said that mill
tary men always try to make plans
to deal with every possibility and
that the plans worked out with the
Western European command or
eanization are of that type. They
are conditional only in the sense
that more formal relationship be-
tween this country and Western
Europe will bee established if and
when the proposed North Atlantic
security alliance goes into force
next spring.
Another aspect Of the problem on
which top military leaders here and
in Europe are working is a mutual
aid program by which the Truman
administration may ask Congress
next session to authorize billions of
dollars worth Of military supplies
to help rearm Western Europe.

u. 5. Tax Collector
Files s49,121Lie
Against Tucker Corn.
BY the Associo,ed Press

CHICAGO. Dec. lS.-The Govern.
ment slapped lien on the Tucker
Corp yesterday, claiming the auto
mobile manufacturing firm owes an
income tax withholding bill Of
$49,12l.
The lien was filed with the Cook
County (ChicagO recorders offics
by John T. Jarecki, collector of in
ternal revenue here. Mr.. Jarecki
claimed the tax bill was due Octo-
Der 81.
The lien was placed on fuckers
assets at the direction of Mr..
Jarecki's superiors in Washington,
the collector said.
He said another lien against
Tucker will be filed Monday for S..
86l which Mr.. Jarecki said repre-
sents social security taxes owed by
the corporation.
Mr.. Jarecki said Tucker failed to
ale a Withholding tax return at the
end OF the third period Of l948, and
that internal revenue agents checked
the corporations records to arrive
at the figure named in the lien.
Tucker is the manufacturer of .
neW-type automobile which has not
yet been placed on the market.
Earlier yesterday, Federal Judge
Michael l.. Igoe refused to order
Preston Tucker, the corporations
president, and other officers to tes-
tify Immediately regarding the
firms financial status.
Motion Is Continued.
Attorneys in a bankruptcy suit
pending against the company had
asked Judge Igoe to order Mr.. Tuck.
er and l6 other officers to appear in
court Monday to answer their ques.
tons.
He continued the attorneys mo-
ton to December %, when fuckers
answer is due to be filed.
In another court action, Federal
Judge Philip L. Sullivan ordered the
Tucker Corp. to prepare an answer
within 80 days to suit brought by
the firms former advertising direc.
tor, Cliff Knoble.
Mr.. Knoble seeks payment Of q
commission and a bonus he claims
were promised him while he worked
for the firm. His suit estimated the
Tucker profits at $22,1D0,000 and
contended he was promised one-half
OF per cent OF all profits realized
through his system of selling &C
cessories. He also asked payment
OF $500 bonus which he said was
promised him.
In Kansas City, Bryce B. Smith,
former Mayor, said he had resigned
as a member Of the Tucker Board
Of Directors.
He said he had been so busy
with his other interests that he had
not had time to attend meetings of
the board
