In Pending Case
BY the Associated Pr.ss

INDIANAPOLIS, Mar. 27.-A
Federal judge today issued an
injunction which the Govern
ment asked in an effort to end
strikes of newspaper printers.
The temporary injunction. granted
by Judge Luther M. Swygert, for
bids the International Topographic

strikes which violate the Taft
Hartley law.
The judge, in granting all points
asked by the general counsel of

policy has been a contributing, if
not the sole factor" causing strikes
and slowdowns in newspaper plants
The result has been to deprive
the public of complete and current

effect until the NLRB rules on
charges before it that the ITU has
violated the Taft-Hartley law in
Chicago, where printers have been
on strike since last November.
Whether the injunction will halt
strikes without further legal action
was not certain.

Flyers Report
Mystery Craft
so Miles at Sea
By the kssocioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 81
The Navy sent search planes out
to sea today after crewmen of a
Pan American Clipper plane re-
ported sighting an unidentified
submarine 80 miles off San
Francisco. Tonight it said 10
planes had searched the area
with negative results.
IF the Pan American crews OBJ
servations as to the object and the
time and position at which it was
sighted are accurate, then the SUBJ
marine they saw could not have
been our submarine" Navy spokes-
man explained.
Capt. Jack Myers of an inbound
Pan American plane said the sub
marine was on the surface when
first seen, just after dawn, but sub
merged as the plane moved over it.
There were no identifying marks.
Capt. Myers, 81, veteran of Pan
Americans Pacific-Alaska Division
and a wartime Naval Air Transport
flyer, said Il am positive that
what We saw was submarine. 1t
was silhouetted in the early morn
ing sunlight. I could see the super
structure clearly"
He said Flight Engineer G. E
McAllister and First Officer John
Russell spotted the submarine and
notified him. They were flying at
1000 feet altitude
Capt. Myers said he had only a
brief glimpse of the submersible and
that 1T. was on the way down as the
plane passed over. It did not ap-
pear to make a crash dive, he said.
The airmen reported the incident,
since Navy Secretary Sullivan an
earlier this week that sub
marines mot belonging to any
nation west of the Iron Curtain
have been sighted off our shores"

Voice Jammine Rises
Despite u. ). Protests
By the Associated Pres.

MANILA, Mar 27.-Despite off,
eial American protests, the jam
ming of Voice of America trans
Pacific Russian-language broadcasts
was louder than ever today.
Interference built up to a Gre
scendo of squeals, howls, dots and
dashes just after II am. Greenwich
mean time (6 am. EST when the
State Departments newscast for
Siberia went on the air.
Before and after that time, when

was negligible and programs were
clear.
A wide variety and number of
American transmitters are employed
in the Voice of America programs
for Siberia. All are located in
California with the exception of
one relay in Honolulu.
Because of this location, experts
here believe those who are doing
the jamming must be using a formi-
dable battery of transmitters. That
would take considerable planning
and a large amount of equipment.

HELSINKI, Finland, Mar. 81
The Conservative press charged
Communists today with planning
a dictatorship in Finland while
an iron curtain hid the course
of Moscow negotiations for
Finnish Soviet friendship and
military pact.
The report that the negotiations
had reached a serious phase coin
cided with articles in the Soviet
press which strongly accused Nor
way of following a "dangerous"
trend of military collaboration with
the United States.
Finland's strongest Independent
afternoon newspaper, Helsingin
Sanomat, declared ''the fact that a
small minority of our people (the
Finnish Communists) openly threat
ems to use our foreign political posi-
ton to force its own will on the
great majority of the people accord
ing to the well-known pattern has
caused nervousness"
Paper Cites Speech.
The paper referred to a speech
this week by Herta Kuusinen, wife
of Finlands Communist Minister
of the Interior, in which she said
Finland must follow the same road
as Czechoslovakia.
Sanomat then asked, "have not
our people suffered enough already
without having to go the road of
brotherly hate for the second time
within few decades?"
The conservative paper Kaup-
palehti took the same line concern
ing the Kuusinen speech.
"One could not express more
openly and precisely the aim of the
Finnish Communists" Kauppalehti
commented. That aim is to have
a one party dictatorship and crush
all reactionary elements"
Are the Communists really pre-
pairing some sort of measures di-
rected at using reformed police
forces in a coup because that is
the only way they could attempt
to make Finland Communist
country?
The great majority of our people
definitely are against all this and
the. July elections will certainly con-
firm this fact if the elections are
free. Under these circumstances
the Kuusinen speech must be inter-
preted only as an empty boast or
as a threat to use violence"
Reds Control 81 Seats.
This was the strongest language
directed at the Communists since

ITALY'S RED CHIEF Says West
Seeks War Over Trieste. Page AS.
BY the Assoeiofed Press

TRIESTE, Mar. 27-Refugees
from the Yugoslav zone of the
free territory of Trieste reported
tonight the Yugoslavs had
moved 1000 or more fresh troops
into their zone.
One report from a business man
said 1900 troops were moved into
Verteneglio, town near the frontier
between the Yugoslav and British
American zones. Buildings and
homes were requisitioned for billets,
the man said.
There was no immediate COM
ment from British mill
tary officials.
The reports that 1000 or more
troops moved into the zone came
from pro-Italian and anti Com
munist refugees from the Yugoslav
zone None were from competent
military observers who might be
able to report unit identifications.
1t was not clear therefore whether
the 800 at Verteneglio were in addi-
ton to the 1000 reported by other
sources. Neither was it clear
whether the troops were replace
mentS.
Yugoslavs Limited to 5000.
Maj. Gen. Terence S. Airey,
British senior civil affairs officer
denied earlier today published re-
ports that additional British troops
had arrived in the free territory
British military police were moved
up to border positions earlier in the
week, but Gen. Airey emphasized
these were from troops already in
the zone.
Under the terms Of the italian
peace treaty the Americans and
British have 10000 troops, 900
each-in their zone and the Yugo-
slavs are limited to 5000 in their
zone.
Gen. Airey said four days ago that
no unusual Yugoslav troop move
ments had been noted around the

bounded on the north and east by
Yugoslav territory as well as the

DRAFT LEGISLATION

With one of its collective ears
cooked to the growing menace of
Soviet Russia and the other ear
closely glued to the pulse of the
electorate at home, the Congress of
he United States is wrestling
nightly these days with the prob
lem of the draft end Universal Mil
itary Training.
Diverse as are the many propo-
sails for augmenting our skeleton
lied armed forces, it seems clear
that some sort of limited draft and
registration of maapower Will
eventually be agreed upon by Con-
gress, reluctant though it might
be to pass such measures during
an. election year. Whether the de-
Tense program will be confined only
to a draft or combine a draft with
a system of Universal Military
Training, remains of course to be
seen.
Speaking only for himself, with
the idea of injecting his two-bits'
worth into the general discussion,
your correspondent goes on record
as favoring a straight draft with
out UNIT. The great objection to
UNIT, besides its h g h cost of
| administration, is that under such
a program, the effective force of
the Regular Army is not immedi-
ately increased, but on the contrary
is actually weakened, due to the
large number of officers and en-
listed men who would have to be
| detailed from the Army to run the
training camps. In the long run,
of course, UNIT would strengthen
The Army by building a large re-
Servoir of trained personnel; but
the question which Is troubling our
statesmen and OUR legislators is
whether we can afford to risk play
ing for the long run. Without try
ing to be unduly pessimistic. your
correspondent doesn't think so.
Thus, we favor strengthening our
military forces Immediately by fac
ing the issue squarely with draft
of enough manpower to bring them
up to required strength. Such
draftees would be in the Army
from the very beginning and would
learn their soldering. es an integral
