OF Border Violations
By tie Associoted Prass

BERLIN, May 4.-The America n
military government said today that
border violations have been COM
mitted by Russian and Czech soldiers
along American occupation zone
frontiers in Germany.
A semimonthly military govern
nent report on occupation affairs
said CzechoSlovakian border police
had fired at several persons within
Bavaria in the United States zone
The full circumstances of these
incidents were not reported, but
American public safety officials said
they occurred after the Czechs had
increased their border patrols to
check the flight of Communist
Czech refugees into Germany.
Russian soldiers were accused of
two violations of Bavaria's boundary
with the Soviet zone of Germany.
These were the first reported
major violations of the interzonal
frontier since February, when the
Americans charged German border
police from the Russian zone with
arresting persons in HeSse, in the
American zone.
In the past few months the Rus
slams have greatly increased their
border controls.
Today'S report noted slight i'm
provement in Western Germany's
overall food situation, and said it
was due to increased American i'm
ports and a rising collection of food
from German farms.

LAKE SUCCESS, May "A
split appeared to be developing
today between the United States
and Britain over the Palestine
crisis.
This was indicated after the
American delegation held a secret
conference on Britains new pro-
posal to drop the American -spon-
sored plan for Palestine trustee
ship and create instead a neutral
commission.
The United States already was at
odds with Russia over the trustee
ship scheme. Russia insists on
carrying out partition of Palestine
under the November 90. 1947, de-
cision put through the U. N. under
Joint American-Russian sponsor
ship.
Informed quarters said the United
States will continue to press for
action on the trusteeship project
despite Britains declaration yester-
day that such plan would not
work.
Both Plans Up Today.
Both the American sponsored
trusteeship plan and the British
proposal were up for discussion this
afternoon by the 58-member Polit-
ical Committee of the Special Pal
estine Assembly.
A United States spokesman said
his delegation feels the British plan
was worth considering, but that the
United States is not convinced it
would work any better than a
Streamlined trusteeship.
1t was emphasized, however, that
no final American decision had been
taken on the British proposal and
probably will not until it is elab-
GRATED in more concrete terms.
In this connection, 1t was noted
that the chief American Delegate,
Warren R. Austin, plans to leave for
Washington tonight.
While Mr.. Austin Is going pri-
marily to state his views before a
congressional committee on pro-
poSalS to strengthen the U. NJ, in

Seeks 10 Testify in

Also Suggests Calling
Precinct Captains and

By Chris Mothisen

Police Supt. Robert ]. Barrett
today asked United States At
torney George Morris Fay to
permit him to go before the
special grand jury which will be
impaneled May II to investigate
gambling in Washington.
Returning to his desk after leave
occasioned by the death of his
mother, Maj. Barrett made the re-
quest in letter to Mr.. Fay in which
he suggested that precinct captains
and members of the vice squad also
be called before the grand jury.
II should also like to detail to you
such number of men as you may
feel is required to carry this investi-
CATION to a successful conclusion" :"
Maj. Barrett wrote.
Plans No Special Measures.
He told reporters he planned no
special measures against gambling
activities at this time and said the
vice squad would continue to give
attention to the problem lin a
routine manner"
Maj. Barrett explained he felt
status quo should be maintained
until the grand jury had oppor-
tunity to look into the existing
situation.
In asking to testify, he wrote Mr..
FAY he wanted to offer such in
formation as is now in possession
of this department with respect to
gambling activities"
He replied, mo comment when
asked if this meant he had some
information other than that con-
tanned in files of the vice squad and
other routine police reports.
Asked if he had heard any re-
ports policemen might be involved
in protecting" certain gamblers,

Special Detail Offered.
In offering Mr. Fay special de-
tail to assist in the gambling in
vestigation, Maj, Barrett pointed
out:

Al Least 75o6 Of Globe
Would Help Revamp
u. n, Judd Says
House Committee Told
Of Support for Changes
To Assure Peace
By J. A. O'LeoY

At least three e-fourths Of the
world would join the United
States in an effort to revamp
the United Nations Charter into
an effective instrument for
peace, Representative Judd, Re-
publican, of Minnesota predicted
today.
Mr.. Judd and Representative
Hays, Democrat, of Arkansas, told
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee it would be desirable to
strengthen the U. N. with Russia s
cooperation, but without it if neces-
sary.
They were the first witnesses as
the committee began two weeks of
public hearings on a variety of
resolutions designed to strengthen
the world organization.
Veto Power Attacked.
Mr.. Judd lost no time in attack
ing the veto power as "a monkey
wrench carefully placed in the U. N
machinery in such way that it
could block turning of the wheels,
beyond discussion, If any one of the
Big Five so desired"
The Minnesota Republican said
our purpose in agreeing to the veto
was to assure all nations that the
new organization would not be able
to make war unjustifiably, or i'm
pose its will on any member.
I'VE were too naive to realize and
too trustful to suspect that the So
Wet rulers had a totally different
idea" Mr.. Judd went on. They
were coldly planning to use the veto
not to block war, but to block peace.
They have not used it once to pre-
vent war; they have used it re-
peatedly to defeat measures or de-
cisions that were in the direction
of peace"
Mr.. Judd said that at Teheran,
Yalta and other conferences, Amer
lean leaders yielded to Russia on
principles to get her to go along on
the United Nations Charter. 1t soon
became apparent, he added, that
the Soviet government came in, not
to get solutions to problems but to
block solutions; not to make the
U. N. work, but to be in the best
possible position to make sure it
does not work"
