Communist Strike
Fails 10 Tie Up Italy
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Dec. 20-The Communists
led a 24-hour strike of government
workers today but apparently failed
in an effort to paralyze the country
The government gave armed pro-
lection to thousands of the million
or more government workers who
refused to obey the strike call of the
Communist directed General Con-
federation of Labor (CGIL.
Steel-helmeted riot police arrested
one left1st striker in the southern
port of Bari. A government
spokesman said the striker had
tried to interfere with the "consti-
tutional right to work"
Reports from north to south
showed the only truly bad effect
of the strike to be in the leftist
north, where the government S
railway service was crippled. Else
where trains ran and postal, tele-
graph and other services went on
without much trouble. In Rome
police rode mail trucks and guarded
entrances to the central post and
telegraph building.
Apparently heartened by the gov
ernment's firmness, many public
service employees headed back to
work later in the day after first
obeying the strike call.

This country can overcome the

Testifying before the joint House

said the industrial economy of this
country is still far from attaining
it's peak.
TT is, in fact. my belief that We
have only begun to recognize our
full potentialities." the Industrial

mentally no reason why we should

backward rather than a steady

Certainly we have and will al

for new and better products so long
as our system is not thWarted or
impaired, and is able to produce
those products at prices which the
consumers can afford.
Must Encourage Capital.
"We must. therefore, as a nation,
see to it that we encourage new
growth and new development so
that there will continue to be more
and better products at prices which
increasingly large numbers of our
people can meet In this way we can
hope that our economy will over
come the vicious cycle of imitation
and depression with which for SO
many years it has been cursed.
ITO accomplish these objectives
there must continue to be encour-

A man freed last week by a Su-
preme Court ruling that he had
been detained illegally before ar
raignment, appeared in Municipal
Court on a new charge today and
his attorney indicated he would
argue that police had violated the
high courts ruling.
The defendant, Andrew j. Up
shaw, SO, colored, is charged with
housebreaking in the disappearance
of 1897 worth of small oil heaters
from a warehouse last Friday.
Five days earlier the Supreme
Court handed down an important
decision, ruling that confession
purportedly given by Upshaw in a
grand larceny case several years
ago was illegal because it was OBJ

Marzani Trial Upheld
By High Court, 4-4

The Supreme Court today, by 6
4-to-4 decision, upheld the convic.
ton of Carl Aldo Marzani, 35-year-
old former State Department EN-.
ploye charged with lying about con.
nection with communism
Justice Douglas took no part ir
the case. The usual printed decision
was lacking, the court merely an.
nouncing through typewriter list
of decisions published on the bulle-
tin board that it had affirmed the
conviction by an equally divided
court"
BY its action, the court ruled that
Marzani had lied as accused at his
trial, to superior in the State De-
partment about membership in the
Communist Party and using the
alias of Tony Whales" The Gov
eminent contended Marzani op-
Grated as Communist organizer in
New York in 1941 and 1912.
The Court of Appeals struck out
nine counts of the indictment
against Marzani as being outlawed
by the statute of limitations. Mar
zani, through his lawyers, told the
Supreme Court that the evidence
put before the District Court Jury
involving the nine stricken counts
prejudiced HIM. He contended also
that he was under no obligation to
make any statement at all on his
Communist connections.
The court acted quickly in the
case, inasmuch as oral arguments
were heard only the week before
last. Marzani was convicted or
May %, 1947, and got 1-to-3-yeal
sentence.

Britain Presents Plan
To GET Out Of Red by
1853 With ERP Aid
White Paper Calls for
Continued Austerity and
Bio Production Drive
BY the Associoted Press

/ LONDON, Dec. 20.-Britain an
nounced today a four-year plan
to muster all her men, money
and materials to get the nation
out of the red by 1858.
+ The aim is to make Britain self
supporting by the time the Amer
ican-fnanced European Recovery
Plan comes to an end.
/ The plan, set forth in white
paper, calls for continued austerity
and self denial, and massive pro-
duction effort
! Ofcials called it "a signpost for
the future"
The plan assumes that Britain
will continue to receive American
help under ERP until mid-1952.
Dollar Needs Reduced.
1t estimates Britain's dollar needs
under ERP next year at s94O. .00O,-
900, compared with 81 ,263 ,000, 900 in
1948-49.
Without American help, the plan
ners said. recovery would be grave
ly hampered and there would be a
real risk of the whole economy
being caught in descending spiral"
The ambitious program calls for
doubling production of oil from
British-owned fields, raising the out
put of coal Is per cent and building
domestic agriculture to an all-time
high level.
Such efforts vii be aimed at build
ing up 0,O00-pound (s4OO,-
600 ,000) surplus of foreign exchange
by 1928. Last year Britain had a
$50 900 ,000pound (S2,520,00O def

: Success of the plan. the govern
mcnt said, will depend on full CO.
operation with other countries in
Western Europe and the Common
wealth."
French Criticize Restrictions.
1t has been under study by the
Organization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation in Paris for the
last two months as Britain's contri-
button to an overall plan for the
l9 ERP nations.
The French have criticized the
belt-tightening in the British plan
because, they say, it closes United
Kingdom markets to a wide range
Of luxury goods such as wines and
fine textiles, produced in Western
! Europe.
The dispute has delayed compile
ton of the Donation program that
was due to be submitted to ERP
officials in Washington last month.
Success of the effort to restore
Britain's credits abroad, the white
paper said, will depend on foreign
markets for British made goods.
The balance envisaged is pre-
carious one, depending very largely
on factors outside our control-es-
pecially on the readiness of the
United States to buy manufactures,
petroleum and raw materials from
the sterling area the planners
declared
1hey promised "a slight improve
ment in the standard of living, but
made it contingent on greatly ex-
panded home production, particu-
larly in agriculture.
The productive efforts that the
United Kingdom intends to make
are on huge scale, and apply to
every sector of productive indus

House Probers Await
Reply on Questioning
Eight Spy Witnesses
Groundwork Already Laid
For New Inquiry to Take
Many Months, Mundt Says
By Robert K. WoIsh

House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities members awaited
word from the Justice Depart
ment today on whether they can
question eight witnesses before
the new Congress convenes.
| At least two other witnesses, in
cluding former Assistant Secretary
of State Francis B. Sayre, are
scheduled to be heard this week. A
third may appear in closed session
today.
Hoping to wind up the Hiss
Chambers phase of its spy investi-
CATION before the end of the year,
the committee already has laid the
groundwork for a much broader
investigation.
Will Require "Many Months"
Acting Chairman Mundt said this
would require many months" to
uncover wartime disloyal acts by
some Federal employees and disclose
Communist espionage hazard" he
declared still exists in the Gov
ernment.
At its executive meeting today the
committee expected a Justice De-
partment reply to its request to ex-
anime the following witnesses if not
needed for grand jury investigation
or court testimony:
Whitaker Chambers, Mrs. Alger
Hiss, Donald Hiss, Miss Elizabeth T.
Bentley, Henry Julian Wadleigh,
William Ward Pigman, Franklin
Victor Reno and Hedda Gompers.
Aberdeen Mentioned.
Mr.. Mundt said Mr.. Reno, who
was not further identified. might
throw some light on "the Aberdeen
proving ground situation" The
committee recently was told that
Government military secrets, includ-
ing information about the Norden
bombsight, were stolen from the
Army,s proving ground at Aberdeen,
Md, and given to Communist agents
10 years ago.
Miss Gompers might tell the
committee about Communist activi-
ties in Washington before the war,
Mr.. Mundt said. He added that she
is not suspect.
Mr.. Mundt said Miss Gompers
is a former Government employe
and has appeared before the COM
mittee in closed sessions as a wit
ness.
Mr Chambers is the avowed pre-
war Communist courier who ac-
cused Alger Hiss, former State De-
partment official, of having slipped
him copies of State Department
secret documents in 1887 and 1888.
Mr.. Hiss was indicted by Federal
grand jury on perjury counts last
week. He has denial all the Cham
bers charges.
Donald Hiss Also Accused.
Donald Hiss, brother of Alger, was
accused by Mr.. Chambers last sum-
mer of having belonged to a Com
munist apparatus" here before the
war.
