Guerrilla Order 10 Arrest
|U.N. Group in Greece Barred
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

sALONIKA, Greece, Feb. 19.-
Greek Army officials said yesterday
they had evidence guerrillas have
been ordered to arrest and treat
as prisoners of war members Of the
United Nations Special Commission
on the Balkans.
The officials said they had found
a copy of an order instructing guer-
rillas to continue operations against
the monarcho- Fascist army" in any
area despite the possible presence Of
observers from, the U. N. Commis-
sion.
They said the order had been
found in the pocket Of guerrilla
recently killed. The officials. said the
order was issued by Markos Vafiades,
Greek Communist leader.

commander in Southern Greece, the
court used its strongest language.
He was held responsible for the raz-
ing of the Greek village of Klissura
in which infants, 6 children under
2 and 72 children under Is, as well
as a number Of aged persons, were
killed.
"It was just plain murder-plain
calculated murder" the court said.
"War at its best is a dirty busi-
ness but under no circumstances can
cold-blooded mass murder be con-
sidered as related even remotely to
the exigencies of war"
100 Killed for Each German.
In the trial, the records showed
that Lists armies killed 100 Serbs
or Greeks for each German soldier
killed by Partisans, and at least SO
for each Nazi wounded.
The court said Partisans killed
during the German occupation were
mostly illegal units which deserved
no protection from international
law.
The basis of the prosecutions
case was the Staying of hostages.
Defense counsel contended those
killed were partisan fighters.
The judgment said:
German soldiers were victims of
surprise attacks by an enemy which
they could not engage in open COM
bat.
1.-The ambushing of German
troops was common practice. Cap
tured German soldiers often were
tortured and killed.
Certain units of bands in Yugo-
slavia and Greece complied with
the requirements Of international
law, but the greater portion Of
partisan bands failed to comply with
the rules of war emitting them to
be accorded the rights of lawful
belligerent.
Captured members of these un-
lawful groups were not entitled to
be treated as prisoners Of war. No
crime can be charged properly
against the defendants for killing
such captured members of resist
ance forces"
Only Way to Protect Army.
This is the only way, the court
said, that an army can protect 1t
Self from the gadf1y tactics Of such
armed resistance.
Fighting was ruled legitimate only
for combatant personnel Of a coun-
try, the court held.
The court brushed aside any con-
tention that the German Army's
presence in the Balkans was illegit-
innate.
Whether the invasion was lawful
or criminal is not an important
factor, the court said.
Germany's right to kill members
of a population as a deterrent to
partisan attacks has been recog-
nized by many nations, including
the United States, Britain, France
and the Soviet Union," the court
continued.
However, the Judgment added,
Germany's conduct was shameful"
and the defendants themselves
knew it by protesting some orders
from their superiors.

| concerned. The embassies were ac-
lcepted in the neighborhood, he said,
and the Chinese culture folk were
quiet little people" But the trend,
In general, was deplorable. The
influx Of institutions had to stop
somewhere.
"It's the character of most OF
these places" he said. They love
to put In these fluorescent lights.
They burn them all night and make
the place look like a factory.
t'If we knew Mr.. Grew would be
here 20 years from now" Mr. Grant
continued, bowing to his adversary,
we'd have no. worry. We do not
question the character or purpose
of this group. But time passes, and
institutions change. Some OF the
institutions that were tops when I
was a young man are never heard
Of today. We think of an institu-
ton as always in need of funds
When the money Is gone, the weeds
grow high-the place falls into dis
repair. There is the problem"
And the battle ragged on. Mr..
Grew said residents could change,
as well as institutions; that some
one addicted to midnight dances
might move into the block at any
moment. Mr.. Herter said the
foundation had about 100000 in
the bank and should be able to keep
| the property in shape. Mr.. Pratt
said the foundation clearly is phil
anthropicf and eleemosynary, spe-
cifically prohibited from A residen-
Dental block.
Real Estate Agent John De Sibour
said the house had been on the
market since last spring and that
individuals no longer want to buy
such large homes. Mr.. Grant said
the property is assessed at $108, 900
and should stay on the tax rolls.
"This organization is a cultural
influence" Mr.. Grew said. 1--WE
want Washington to be the cultural
center Of the United States"
"And we," said Mr.. Grant, want
houses with families in them and
curtains in the windows-and chill
dren playing in Well-kept back

Britain Denies Aggression
With Bases in Antarctic

LONDON, Feb. 10 R.-The For
eign Office said today that mainte'
nance of British bases near the
Antarctic constitutes neither aggres-
sion nor proyocation.
The statement came as Britain:
answer to a speech yesterday by
Chilean President Gonzalez Videls
protesting against aggression anc
armed violence" by worn out i'm.
perialisms."
The British spokesman told q
news conference:
"In respect to maintaining our.
selves in territory which Britain has
long legally claimed, it does not ap-
pear to constitute an act of aggres-
sion or in any sense an act of prov
ocation."

neighborhood. In vain were they
supported by DR.. Halford Hoskins,
director of the foundation. Mr..
Grant was not to be placated.
''We object" he thundered, ito
institutions of higher culture-or
any other kind Of culture"
But the banner Of learning was
still held high as Mr.. Grew counter
attacked. 1--WE are driven back,
said the diplomat, 'to Shakespeare's
immortal question, What's in a
name? Why are we opposed here?
Because we are on institution A
name, gentlemen-only name. We
will keep this place as well as any
private home. We will keep cur
tains In the windows, and we will
cut the lawn. Forget the name,
gentlemen, and look the facts in the

Gradually, through the tumult
and shouting, the outline q the con-
fiict became discernible. The Diplo-
matte Affairs Foundation, since
1899, has been building a library for
research in international affairs,
This library is used by the School Of
Advanced International Studies, q
graduate academy of international
affairs, at 1906 Florida avenue NV,
where the foundations books now
are housed.
Four Persons for Staff.
The proposed move to the r
street location, in q residential A
zone presently restricted to single
family dwellings, was designed to
give the library room to grow. The
foundation, which was completing
purchase of the eight-bathroo
mansion from the estate Of the late
Margaret Olivia Flint for a reputed
SGT 900, said the establishment would
be stated by four persons. 1t
doubted that more than eight stu
dents of the Foreign Affairs School
would use the building at one time.
All the students, the foundation
insisted, are Every serious people, y
who would cause no trouble in the
neighborhood. The location was
chosen, in fact, because 1t could pro-
vide them with the quiet they need
for their research.
So said Messrs. Herter and Grew
But Mr.. Grant stood his ground.
I'VE think as an institution this
is a corking good one, !" he said. "But
we don't want any institutions. 81
Mrs. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who lives
around the corner at 1714 Twenty
second street NV. and Is no rela-
ton to the lawyer, took the stand
briefly to put the same thought
another way:

Chile President Heads
Home After Claiming
Two Antarctic Bases
By the ksseeiaied Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 19-
Chilean President Gabriel Gonzalez
Videla headed home today after for
mally setting up two military bases
in disputed Antarctic territory
which he called '1and Of tomor-
row."
The bases were established at
Chilean weather stations in defiance
OF long time British claims, recently
reiterated.
Mr.. Gonzalez inaugurated the first
Tuesday at the weather station at
Port Sovereignty on Greenwich
Island in the South Shetlands, some
500 miles south of the southern tip
of South America.
Second Is Dedicated.
He dedicated the second yesterday
at another weather station, so miles
to the south, on a peninsula of the
Antarctic continent known to Chile
as O'Higginsland and to Great
Britain as Grahamland. Bernardo
O'Higgins, Chilean patriot Of Irish
extraction, was the first chief of
state of independent Chile.
Dispatches to this Chilean capital
told of the ceremony. The corvette
Covadonga anchored among ice
bergs. The President went ashore
with other officials, 20 army cadets,
20 midshipmen and navy band.
Then, standing amid snow and ice,
he said his presence was zone more
confirmation of Chile's sovereignty
over the extreme south OF its ma
tional soil" He called the land be-
low South America Chile's by right
of "history, geography and law" He
said she claimed it by inheritance
from the Spanish crown, nearness
and occupation.
Speech Is Published.
Mr.. Gonzalez, whose speech was
made public here, ended by toasting
this land of tomorrow"
st am sure" he said, "its people
will be able to maintain the virility,
sovereignty and unity of our ter
ritory from AFRICA to the South Pole. "
africa is in northernmost Chile.
Gen. Ramon Canas Monta1va,
Chile's Army chief of staff, was an
other speaker. He was quoted in
dispatches as saying the move would
help in building up Chile as a
Pacific power"
Chile, Argentina and Great Britain
hold overlapping claims to pie
shaped sections Of Antarctica and
to South Atlantic islands. Argentina
and Britain both claim the British
administered Falkland Islands and
their dependencies. Britain has sent
the cruiser Nigeria from South
Africa to the Falklands ''to show the
flag" Argentina naval vessels are
en- route to maneuvers in the same
area.

for calculated, cold-blooded murder

But the court ruled that most Of
the partisans who harried Germans
in the Balkans failed to comply
with the rules of war;" and thus
were not entitled to be treated as
prisoners of war with the protec-
tion of international law.
Bearing on Greece Seen.
The court deplored the complete
failure on the part OF the nations
of the world to outlaw the killing
of members Of q conquered popu-
lation.
"It is not our province to write
international law as we would have
it," the decision said. 1--WE must

The Judgment was read by Judge
Charles F. Wennerstrum, a Justice
Of the Iowa Supreme Court. Some
lawyers felt the decision might have
bearing in the future on the guerrilla
fighting in Greece.
With the hostage ruling as a pre-
amble, the court meted out these
sentences:

F1C Case Dismissed
Against Salt Firms
, b. the Associofsd Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Federal Judge
Philip L. Sullivan dismissed q Gov
eminent complaint yesterday seek
ing to compel the Morton Salt Co.
and the international Salt CO. to
submit special reports to the Federal
Trade Commission.
The suit grew out Of a 1913 ETC
action ordering a pumber of salt
companies to cease and desist from
what the commission said was an
unlawful conspiracy to fix prices and
to control production, sale and dis
tribution of salt in interstate COM
merce.
In September, 1947, the ETC or
dered the salt companies to file spe-
cial supplementary reports showing
how they were complying with the
cease and desist order. The two de-
PENDANT companies refused. They
wrote the commission that they were
complying in the same manner as set
forth in their original compliance
reports filed in 1943.
The Government then fled suit
to enforce compliance of its 1947 Or
der. 1t also sought a judgment for
500 for each day after April 1, 1913,
that the companies failed to file the
reports.
In dismissing the Government
complaint, Judge Sullivan said spe-
cial reports can be required under

The 1,400 Camids, assisted by an
attack force composed of $500 Army

Opposing the assault was a de-
Tending force of 500 marines. This
force retreated before the invaders,
but last night it conducted harass-

and midshipmen. The maneuver
was the last of the 12-day operation.
The Camids were brought ashore
by landing craft from a 46-ship am
phibious task force which had sped
within spittin' distance of the beach
from a point 200 miles at sea.
