Plea for Money, Men
In Pacific Expected
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Oct. 15.-Reduests for
more money and manpower for the
Pacific,s defenses may be made as a
result of the high-level United
States Army, Navy and Air Force
conferences in Tokyo, informed
sources said today.
1t. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, COM
manding the Alaska defenses, and
Vice Admiral John L. McCrea,
deputy commander of the United
States Pacific Fleet, conferred with
Gen. Macarthur for three days.
It is believed that they will rec
ommend to Washington that more
money be provided for the wide
flung Pacific bases.
It is no secret that the occupa-
ton Army in Japan is low on man
power. When some units from
Japan were sent to Korea last May
to keep order during the election
campaign these units were not re-
placed in Japan, responsible officials
said.
The Air Force in the Far East
has been strengthened in manpower
and equipment since the postwar
demobilization, which stripped its
huge organization.

Twelve persons of Slavic origin
were arrested Tuesday in Sac Paulo

calling itself the Red Star So
ciety." had in its possession several
crates of Russian propaganda.
Within the past year police of
the various states have rounded up
more than 100 espionage suspects.
After the Sac Paulo roundup,
police announced another alleged
spy network is being investigated
in the southern state of Rio Grande
do Sui and more arrests are expected

Paulo said the group arrested Tues
day had been designated by the
Kremlin as agents to spread COM
munism in Brazil and various South
American countries.
No suspects can be- expelled from
the country until judged by the
federal courts. There have been
no expulsions since the war, al

Army Answers Alexander
On judicial Error Charge
Nv the Assoeioted Press

The Army said today it has no
authority to prosecute Germans for
offenses committed against other
Germans, because such offenses are
not war crimes. Hence, it said it
could not try Ilse Koch for making
lamp shades of prisoners skins.
The Army was asked by a repor-
ter for comment on the statement
yesterday by Leon Alexander of
Chicago, former prosecutor in the
United States war crimes group.
In reply, an official Army spokes-
man said:
1T was the Arrny's position that
crimes by Germans against Ger
mans, particularly those committed
prior to the outbreak of war, were
not international crimes and there
fore were no war crimes"

A. 7. &1. Reports Mel
Far Above Year Ago
In Third Quarter
BY the Associased Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Amer
ican Telephone g. Telegraph Co.
today reported third-quarter earn
ings of s52,82o,000, or s231 a share,
compared with $50, ,993, ,997, or sta a
share for the like 1947 quarter.
President Leroy A. Wilson said in
a letter to stockholders that "the
further rise in telephone wages
emphasizes the immediate and
pressing need for higher telephone
rates.
Applications for additional rate
increases are pending before regula-
tory authorities and further applica-
tions will have to be made in the
near future"
The report showed net profit of
$192 ,460, 900 or $8.70 share for the
IL months ended September 80
against s170,541 ,003 or $500 a share
for the previous II months. Both
the quarterly and 12-month totals
were for the parent A. T. & T. Co.
alone.
The Bell System consolidated
earnings report, covering A. T. and
T. and its principal telephone sub
sidiaries, showed net profit Of $685.
357 1923 or $240 a share for the three
months ended August 81. For the
corresponding 1947 quarter. earn
ings were $36,043, ,256 or $1.67 a share.
For the year ended August 81, Bell
System net income was 1924 1896, ,389
or 1894 a share against earnings
of $174,663 ,633 or $500 a share for

Mr.. Wilson said more than 665, 900
telephones were added to the Bell
System in the third quarter to bring
the increase so far this year to
Z, ,l50, ,000--or more than all the tele-
phones in France. But new demand
continues at q high rate and the
Bell System has 1,25o. 900 persons on

accountable for the results. That is

accountable for the results. That is
the way to get Job DONE"
Attacks Overlapping Agencies.
Gov. Dewey touched briefly on
overlapping Of agencies and func-
tions in the Federal Government,
in these words:
"One of the ways not to get a
good job done Is to have six people
working at cross purposes at one
job. In Washington the last time
Congress made full count we
had II different Federal agencies
concerned with housing, IA different
agencies concerned with labor re-
lations, 13 in public health, II lend
ing Government money, IL dispos-
ing of surplus property.
Il think we have not only sur
plus property, but surplus bureaus"
Gov. Dewey observed, in a departure
from his text.
"A committee of Congress was
trying to find out how things were
going with the disposal of our sur
plus war property he said. They
called in the regional director from
Chicago, Mr.. Stanley Benning Ad-
ans. Now I am not going to elab-
crate on the record. 1t speaks for
itself. Here is what Mr.. Adams,
the regional director, had to say
and remember these are his exact
words, from the official record. He
said:
g" - When I came to Chicago,
we had what I call petty cash ac-
count of somewhere between 8 and
IL millions of dollars that we did
not know where the money came
from, and We had it for months
and months and months, and no.
body knew where it came from.
1--WE are down now where there
is only about half of that that we
do not know where it came from.
Apparently, nobody had thought
about looking to see if they could
find out where it came from.
"'And before the year is out, we
hope to have that all cleaned out
So that we will not have mil
lions of dollars on deposit, which
we do not know where it came from,
we do not know whether it is billed,
We do not know who gave us the
money, we do not know whether it
as paid to us or not.
THAT was your money Mr.
Adams was talking about"
Let me just say this: Your next
administration Is going to know
where the money comes from and
better still-it is going to know what
the money goes for. And the Amer
ican people are going to begin get
ting their moneys worth for the
taxes they paY."

Hits Pendergast Organization.
Gov. Dewey's Kansas City theme
was Good Government, and he
took an indirect slap at the Dem
ocratic Pendergast organization in
that city whep he declared:
1T seems particularly appropri-
ate to talk about good government
here in Kansas City. You have
known how bad a bad government
can be. You rose up and threw
it out and you know how good a
good government can be-"
Presumably, he was referring to
the fact that Kansas City now has
a fusion city government. The old
Pendergast organization started Mr..
Truman in politics.
In discussing his ideas on how
to get good government at the
Federal level, Gov. Dewey challenged
the competency Of the Truman ad-
ministration, but, as in all of his
campaign speeches, he did it IN
directly.
One Of the sharpest lines in his
Kansas City speech was the fol-
lowing: i
There is no magic formula for
competent administration. But one
thing is certain. You will never get
it when positions of high authority
go to men simply because they tell
funny stories or because they are
somebody's old friends or because
they are supposed to have special
influence over some bloc of votes.
Reference to Allen Seen.
Some observers thought he may
have been referring in part to
George E. Allen, a former RFC
director and one time White House
adviser, whose good nature has made
him a wide circle of friends in
Washington.
Gov. Dewey reaches st. Paul this
afternoon just 48 hours behind
President Truman, who ridiculed the
national unity theme of the Repub-
lican nominee by asking. Unity for
what cause?" Mr. Truman also
chided Senator Ball for having
helped to write the Taft-Hartley
Act.
In Kansas City last night Gov.
Dewey promised to bring q ''compe-
tent administration" to Washington.
He said his formula would be: "Ap-
point the right kind Of people in the
first place; give them full authority
to do their job; make them fully
responsible; and hold them strictly

In passing, too, the President
served notice on Russia in unmis-

the United States remains firmly
committed to such a step-"we have
no choice but to proceed with the

can candidate has brought it in"-
the same argument he used in talk
ing foreign policy in st. Paul the
previous night.
in swinging on the Dewey plan
for handling the atom, the Presi-
dent insisted that you cannot
separate the peace time use OF
atomic materials from their poten-
tial military use," and he stressed
that the success of our whole
atomic energy program, military as
well as peaceful, has been based on

Prosecutor Charges
Judicial Error in
Trial Of IIse Koch
by the Associotsd Press

PARIS. Oct. 15.-A former Ameri-
can Army war crimes prosecutor
charged yesterday that "a COM
plete judicial error" has prevented
the proof of mass atrocities by
Use Koch.
The life sentence Of the woman,
40-year -old widow Of the Buchen-
valid concentration camp COM
mandant, was reduced in June to
four years by Gen. Lucius D. Clay,
American commander in Germany.
Protests have led to reopening of
the army investigation of her case.
Leon Alexander of Chicago, for
merly a prosecutor in the American
war crimes group and now an at
torney In Paris, said: ''The making
OF lampshades and novelties from
human skin and other mass atroci-
ties committed by her, could not be
judically established because the
majority Of Ilse Koch's crimes were
committed during the period which
the American Army, in violation
of Law No. 10, refused to include
In its trials"
Law No. 10, Mr.. Alexander ex-
planned, was issued by the Big Four
commanders, and decreed the occu-
pying powers would punish crimes
committed in Germany between
January 30. 1888, and July l, 1945.
Mr.. Alexander said he was pre-
pairing the Buchenwald case in
January, 1947, when orders were
given by Col. c. E. Straight, then
chief of the war crimes group, and
Col. A. H. Rosenfeld, chief of the
trial branch. to ignore crimes COM
mitted in Buchenwald before Pearl
Harbor December Z. 194D, although
the camp was established in 1887.
"I strongly objected, but 7 was
only partly successful" Mr.. Alex
ander said. "The period covered by
the case was extended to Septem-
ber /, 1889, when the Germans in
vaded Poland"
He criticized Gen. Clay's state
ment that there was nothing to
sustain the life sentence under
Anglo-Saxon standards of judicial
procedure. This, he said, was "er-
roneous, misleading and inconsist-
emf"
