Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn Beall

Debate on the European Recovery
Program legislation started in the
Senate the first of last week where it
is expected the measure will come to
vote around March 18th A deter
mined effort will be made by a score
or more of Senators to write amend
ments into the bill which will proven:
any of the benefits of American aiG
to Europe finally reaching Russia OF
the Soviet satellite nations. 1t is be-
ing claimed that nearly billion do
lars of American money went into
Czechoslovakia, in one form or an
other, between the time the war endec
and that country came under the
domination of Communist Russia.
Over on the House side of the Capitol
General Wedemeyer, whose report on
China has been suppressed by the Adj
ministration, testified before the For
eign Affairs Committee. The General
nancial or economic aid to China
would not alone be sufficient to stop
the spread of Communism in that
section of the globe; and if military
aid is not given China, America will
pay in blood for her failure to extend
such aid.
The House had before it for con-
sideration this week legislation to
guarantee continued production of
synthetic rubber in this country for
at least two years to come, with the
probability the Government will keep
some sort of control over synthetic
rubber production for an even longer
time. Certain Government-owned rub
Der plants will be kept in standby
condition ready to start production
on short notice. Others will be sold
or leased to private manufacturers,
subject to Government control of pro-
duction. The use Of certain amounts
of synthetic rubber in the manu-
facture of tires will be continued.
The Senate is expected to take up
, the Knutson Tax Reduction Bill soon
after the middle of the month, follow
| ing the Senate vote on the European
Relief Program legislation. The Sen
ate Finance Committee has already
given its approval to the general plan
| for reduction of individual income
taxes this year, but when the Senate
i completes its work on the Knutson
i measure it will probably call for an
! overall tax reduction of somewhere
! between four and one-half and five
! billion dollars instead of the six bill
! lion dollar cut contained in the House
Bill.
The Viers Mills Village Project
! Having several requests and an
| especially strong one from Brooke
! Johns, President of the Montgomery
| County Board Of Commissioners,
introduced a Resolution seeking an
! investigation of the Viers Mill Village
Housing Project, located in Mont
gomery County between Silver Spring

Sentence Tomorrow

Denied 4 new trial, five men
associated with the international
Hod Carriers Union (AFD and
found guilty of conspiracy to loot
Washington area locals OF funds
are to be sentenced tomorrow by
Justice Alexander Holtzon In Dis
trict Court.
In a written opinion yesterday
the jurist denied pleas for q new
trial or q judgment Of acquittal.
The accused are Joseph Speed,
George Morgan, Faust Moreschi,
Evans H. Hamilton and Isaac
Weiner.
In the course of the 12-page
opinion, Justice Holtzon said "the
uncontradicted evidence shows that
the treasury Of the labor organiza-
tions involved in this case was ruth
Ilessly looted by Kelly LARRY Kelly,
missing defendant) with brazen
effrontery equaled only by his un-
paralleled knavery" The jurist
found the defendants conspired to
aid in looting the union funds.
Justice Holtzoh brushed aside the
defense argument that the Gov
ernment proved more than one
conspiracy, and proof varied from
the indictment, making the case
faulty. He held only one conspiracy
Is involved. OF Weiner, st. Mary's
Count (Md.) businessman, Justice
Holtzod wrote: "Weiner,s transac-
tions with the union were mani
festly reprehensible."
Austin F. Canfield and Charles E.

Five GIs in Trieste Go for Swim,
Create International Incident

Italy and Yugoslavia tried to get
out of the satellite peace confer
ences a year or more ago.
Unable to make Solomon's de-
cision as to who should get it, the
Big Four powers decided to make
the city and some miles around a
free territory" Today it is any
thing but free being occupied by
thousands of Yugoslav troops on
one side and thousands of British
and American troops on the other,
Feelings run high.
Soldiers Used Boat.
On June Is the five Americans
decided to go swimming. In addi-
'tion to Pvt. Foster, they were listed
as TIA George C. Wilson, Southern
Pines, N. c.: T/5 Augustine Santana,
New York City; T/5 Jarvis L. Saul
nier. Manchester, N. H., and Pvt.
Archie M. Van Why, Route l,
Stroudsburg, Va.
Press Officer Michael J. McDer-
mott said the soldiers entered the
Yugoslav zone in a small boat and
added, Their purpose was merely to
go swimming at a beach at Capo
d'Isrtia."
While they were swimming, the
YugosIavs seized the whole group
and took them off to Jail. American
military chiefs Immediately began
demanding the return of the men.
The Yugoslavs told the Americans
not to worry, that they would be
sent home "unharmed' in due
course.
Mr. McDermott said the protest
and direct demand for release to
the Yugoslav government at Bel
grade were determined on because
of the prolonged detention.
Spy Angle Develops.
Meanwhile, the spy angle has
developed. A few days ago, accord
ing TO the State Department, a
Communist newspaper in Trieste
published stories that the five men
were espionage agents. This ties in
with Yugoslav propaganda charges

ment said they have been held toe
long. 1t ordered Ambassador Cav
endish Cannon at Belgrade to de-
liver an indignant protest and de-
mand freedom for the men.
In addition to all this the story
has a spy angle-propaganda spy

Mr.. McDermott stressed in this
connection that the purpose of the
five was merely to go swimming. .
Asked why they chose a beach
across the Yugoslav zone boundary
Mr.. McDermott said he didn't know
but perhaps it was a hot day IN
Trieste"
The Communist paper, for a rea-
son best know to itself. gave its
report of the incident a festive all

soldiers in detention. 1t did not
show them looking glumly out OF

The regent directed DR.. George

Dr. Cross to determine.
There was no indication whea-
