"dastardly," "a mockery." and "a
slap in the face to John l..
Lewis"
Typical of the comment was
that from Cecil Urbaniak. head OF
the UNIV district at Fairmont. w.
Va.
The miners feel that the Presi-
dent, with the big vote the miners
gave him in Northwestern West
Virginia, has let them down in
appointing Boyd to the job" he
said. The vote Senate con-
firmationD was a direct slap at
John L. Lewis"
Action Called "Mockery."
William Mitch, president Of the
UNIV Alabama district, said:
THE original law creating the
Bureau of Mines set forth that it
was the purpose Of preserving the
health and safety of the coal
miners of the country. The Sen
ate's action makes mockery OF
these requirements"
1T is one of the most dastardly
things that has even been done
to the American coal miner" said
Joseph Yablonski, UNIV official in
the Pittsburgh area.
Mr.. Lewis has attacked Mr..
Boyd bitterly ever since President
Truman first appointed him in
March, 1947. His chief complaint
was that the appointee had no ex-
perience in coal mining. Mr.. Boyd
and his friends replied that coal
mine safety was only one phase of
the work Of the bureau and that
Mr.. Boyd was eminently qualified
for the job in other ways.
But the Senate for two years
had refused to confirm Mr.. Boyd
until last night, although the
committee did give its approval in
l947. The appointment then was
lost in a rush for adjournment,
and Mr.. Boyd had worked without
pay since December 81, 1947.

Mr.. Fielding said he has per-
mission to take a British orchestra

In Washington, Harl Mcdonald,
manager of the Philadelphia Or

doubtedly is taking a whale of
gamble.
1T does not surprise me that he
stands to take loss"
Mr.. Mcdonald said, however,
that the feud would not affect the
Philadelphia Orchestra, because it
will make the trip under a guar
antee.
He refused to give the amount
of the guarantee but said the Or
chestra would receive full pay"
plus travelling allowance and all
transportation expenses.

Measure 10 Remove
Restrictions on Press
In Maryland Killed
BY the Assoeioisd Pres,

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 23.-The
Maryland Senate has decided that
the Federal and State constitu-
tons contain all necessary guar
antees for freedom Of the press
BY a It'll vote. the Senators
killed bill yesterday which was
designed to prevent Maryland
courts from adopting or keeping
rules tending to restrict press
freedom.
Senate President Byrnes left
the rostrum to take a leading
part in the fight against the bill
1t was sponsored by Senator
P. G. Stromberg, Democrat, of
Howard County, publisher OF a
chain of county newspapers and
a member Of the Maryland Press
Association.
The association went on record
some weeks ago In opposition to
the suggested extension of rule
904 Of the Supreme Bench of Bal
timore to the rest of the State.
The bill was the result.
Rule 904 forbids, among other
things, publication Of statements
made by an accused after his
arrest.
-Four radio stations and James
P. Connolly. a radio news COM
mentator, were fined recently for
violating the rule. The contempt
charges grew out of their reports
Of Baltimore murder case. All
appealed from the sentences.
The defendant in the murder
case. Eugene H. James. colored,
81, was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged.
In opening the long debate on
the bill, Senator Stromberg de-
clared the measure has only one
purpose-to tell the people of
Maryland that their representa-
tives will not stand idly by while
fundamental liberties are being
undermined"
Senator Byrnes contended that
the freedom of the press is already
amply assured by the Constitu-
ton.
Senator Louis Goldstein. Demo-
crat, of Calvert County said, in
support Of Senator Stromberg's
bill. that with Washington papers
coming to Baltimore "by the
thousands people could still read
news that Baltimore papers are
not allowed to print because of
rule 904.

illegal gambling here, notably the
numbers business.
One official, who asked that he

no evidence, hearsay or otherwise,
that numbers game operators had
to lay off some runners because Of
activity in the pyramid field.
Il should think 1t would be just
the other way around" he said.
The pyramid club craze would be
more likely to intensity the gam
bling fever and cause more rather
than fewer people to play the
numbers"
Unofficial reports from other
sources indicated. however, that
numbers operators have felt the
pinch because Of Pyramid Club
popularity.
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay had no comment on
the Pyramid Club situation today.
He said he did not see Maj. Bar

that they have not requested an

Arlington Cemetery,
Channel Pier Funds
Cut by Committee

Reductions in budget estimates
for development Of additional
burial areas In Arlington Cemetery
and for completion Of a Washing

ported to the House today by the

The full amount requested

able. however. for operation Of

The committee did not cut the
cemetery and harbor improvement
projects specifically. but they
would be subject to reductions in
the overall amounts made avail
able for these classes OF work.
Arlington Estimate Cited.
The committee, in slicing ST.
10000 from the total for ceme-
terry expenses, noted a disparity in
cost estimates for improvements
of national cemeteries across the
Nation. During hearing. how
ever, 1t was established that the
figure for making 80 additional
acres available for burials at
Arlington represented one of the
lowest per acre costs cited. The
amount of S233.000 had been
asked.
The $475,7oo budget estimate
for construction Of superstructure
OF Pier No. 4, in Washington Chan
mel would be reduced Is per cent
in line with the committees view
that such a decline in construc-
ton costs could be expected dur-
ing the next fiscal year. n
The substructure of the pier
has been completed. 1t is one Of
four such piers in the harbor de-

one has been flushed and two

Budenz Takes Stand
AS First Witness in
Trial Of Il Reds
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-Louis r
Budenz, former Communist and
now Fordham University faculty
member. took the stand as the
first Government witness today In
the conspiracy trial Of II Amer
ican Communist leaders.
Mr.. Budenz, one time editor of
the Daily Worker, Communist
newspaper, has attacked Com
munist doctrines in lectures and
writings since he renounced the
party several years ago and re-
Joined the Catholic Church. He
teaches economics at Fordham.
The defense yesterday failed to
win a mistrial which it asked on
the ground that the presiding
judge scratched his head and
pulled his ears.
Joine dParty in 1885.
Mr.. Budenz testified he Joined
the Communist Party in 1885 and
severed his connection with it in
October, 1945.
Three of the defendants-Jacop
Stachel, Irving Potash and Carl
Winter-Were identified by the
witness as men with whom he was
acquainted before 1885.
He told of talking with Stachel,
party educational director, before
joining the party in 1885.
Stachel told him. Mr.. Budenz
said, that I'D have to wait for
Earl Browder's return from the
Seventh Congress of the Commu-
mist international at Moscow as to
the character of my membership,
whether it would be public or con-
cealed, or underground"
Later, he testified, Browder told
him he was to be IAN open men,
ber" of the party.
Protests Head Scratching.
Browder formerly was general
secretary of the party but was ex-
PEELED in 1945 and now is at odds
with the present American Com
munist leadership.
Harry Sacher, one Of the de-
fense lawyers, protested yesterday
to Federal Judge Harold R
Medina:
Your honor has overstepped
the bounds of propriety. - The
only effect of Your Honor's OBJ
servations Ito the jury has been
to negate the statements made
(by the defense) in the openings.
Il have sat here and watched
Your Honor scratch his head,
pull his ears, smile and do other
things which had the effect of
negating what we say"
Brushing aside the protest, the
judge smuingly remarked:

Communist Party Secretary
Jacques Duclos assailed the pact
as IAN instrument Of force and

The alliance" Mr.. Duclos de

taxpayer dear"
Foreign Minister Robert Schuman
said "the pact will be submitted
for approval Of the Assembly. but
the government cannot accept dis
cussion here until the signature of
