HoIzworfh Is Acquitted; Took
Two Days 10 Secure Jury But
Only 30 Minutes for verdit|

ANCHORAGE, April IS - tR =
John Holzworth, attorney and
salesman who has been a prominent
foe of Governor Gruening, was ac-
quilted Saturday on a charge OF
writing a $3.50 check with fraud
ulent intent.
The case opened Wednesday in
commissioners Court. Two days
were spent in selecting a jury. 1t
took just 30 minutes for it to bring
in q verdict.
The trial was highlighted by a
flare of tempers ty the defendant,
serving as his own attorney, at
torneys and witnesses.
One clash was when Holzworth
accused Earl Cooper, United States
attorney, of framing" him. Pre-
yiously he had accused Cooper OF
being a "Gruening henchman.'
Highlights of the final day OF
the hearing included the appear
ance of Judge Anthony J. Dimond
and Postmaster Herb Brown on
the witness stand, after both were
suhpoenaed by Holzworth.
Holzworth asked Judge Dimond
a long, hypothetical question which
seemed to be aimed at finding out
what Judge Dimond would do il
the case were in his court. The
Judge was rot inclined to answer
fluently.
Postmaster Brown was questioned
by Holzworth as to the legality Of
hotel seizing his (Holzworths)
mail and holding it along with hi'
belongings.

ALASKA MEASURE IS
VETOED BY TRUMAN;
Also THREE OTHERS

WASHINGTON, April 25.-lR-
President Truman today sent back
to Congress his first legislative We
toes of the present session.
He returned to the House, with
out his approval, four relief mea-
sures passed by the Democratic
controlled 81st Congress.
They included:
A bill CHR. SID giving jurisdic-
ton to the District Court for AL
aska to pass upon claims of Hilda
Links, E. j. Gilman and Fred L.
Kroesing of Anchorage, Alaska.
They are seeking repayment for
losses sustained in the mink ranch
business rising out of air flights
and maneuvers of the United States
Armed Forces.
1t appears that such noise from
low flying planes excites the mink
and causes them to destroy their
young. The claimants cohtended
452 of 518 mink were destroyed in
that way in 194l. they said they
had to dispose of their mink farms
at a total loss of $4,000. The
President said his objection to the
bill was at its present form. He
said it would preclude the govern
ment from making proper de-
Tense. He said he would be glad
to sign a bill properly drafted.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-tR-
Legislation to carry out Presi-
dent Truman's far-reaching health
program was introduced in Con-
gress today.
The bill calls for payroll-tax in
surance to provide medical, hospital
and dental care for about 100000
COO Americans at a -esti-
mated cost of around $6,000,000 a
year.
The Administration measure also
would put into effect all the other
phases OF Mr.. Trumans program.
Those include federal grants for
medical education, hospital con-
struction, public health services
and research. The bill also auth
orizes an experimental program
of federal aid to farmers health
cooperatives.
A sponsors statement accom-
panying the bill was signed by
Senator Ebert D. Thomas Cd
Utah), chairman of the Senate
Labor and Public Welfare Commit

Not a single Republicans name
was on the list of sponsors. Some
Republicans-as well as some DEM

program "socialized medicine"
But the sponsors, in their joint
statement, retorted that substitute
voluntary plans backed by Sena-

The hackers of the Presidents

ed in a steady rain for the Reds.
But none had showed up at dusk.
Shanghai seemingly was being
bypassed. But none could say for
sure. Even military spokesman adj
mitted they did not know just
where the Red armies were.
The feeling grew among Shang-

capital received the Communists
quietly at $40 am. Sunday. Nam

list soldiers first acts was to put
out fire that vandals had started
in the judicial Yuan building. The
building was q total loss.
The Communists took their sta
tons before some foreign embassies
and all government buildings and
utilities in Marking No guards were
placed before the American En-
bassy, however.
During the afternoon three gov
eminent planes tried to hit gaso-
line and ammunition dumps at
the Marking airport. Communist
spokesman said they overshot their
mark.

At the time Marking fell, the
Communist radio q Petping an

from this great city which has

Civil War.
Americans were warned that if
they board Navy ships they might
not be permitted to land again.
1t was acknowledged this warn

PEACE TALK
AT
ARTS MEET
Declares Capitalism, Com
munisf Can Live Peace
fully Side by Side
BY CARL HARTMAN

PARIS, April 25-tR-V. P. Vol
fgin, vice president of the Soviet
Academy of Sciences, told the
Communicated World Congress
for Peace" today that capitalism
and Communism can live peace
fully side by side.
Volgin said this in backing up a
statement made to the congress
Saturday by b. John Rogge, former
assistant U. S. Attorney General.
Royce had told the congress that
the United States is not threatened
by the Soviet Union and the Soviet
Union is not threatened by the
United States.
This gives people a different
outlook on the prospects for world
peace" said Volgin, who heads the
Soviet Academy's history and
philosophy department. The con-
gress cheered him.
volgin took exception, however,
to Rogges criticisms of the Soviet
Union. Rogge drew boos and cat
calls Saturday when he said there
was insufficient freedom for po-
litical minorities in Russia.
HE is talking about something
he knows nothing about Volgin
said. Every unprecedented person
can see in the Soviet Union that
exploitation of man by man does
not exist"

Minister of Australia and President
of the U. N. General Assembly, is
the quiet center of the East-West

enemies for himself in his efforts
to make peace.
Evatt used to be the trigger
man in counter-attacking the Sow
lets. Now he is leaning over back
ward to be fair, and bangs his
gavel to protect the Russians as
well as the Anglo-Saxons.
One day last week Evatt refused
to let U. S. Ambassador Austin
come to the defense Of the Atlantic
Pact, after Soviet Gromyko had at
tackled it. Reason: Austin had just
spoken on another subject, and
Evatt made him wait his turn.
