Australian Red Chief
Faces Sedition Trial
On Soviet Aid PLEDGE
~ the Assoeiofsd Press

SYDNEY, Australia, Mar. 26.-
The general secretary Of the Aus
tralian Communist Party was
charged with sedition today for
pledging support to Russia If
Soviet troops should enter Aus
tralia.
The Communist leader, Lawrence
Louis sharkey, pleaded not guilty
at . special session Of Federal
Court. He elected to be tried by
q jury.
Sharkey faces two charges-one
Of uttering seditious words and
one Of publishing seditious words
on or about March 4.
Opening Of the case revealed q
split within trade unions general
ly considered Communist DOM
mated.
Many thousand members Of the
militant longshoremen and coal
miners union refused to protest
the prosecution of Sharkey. OF
$4,000 men in the wharf 1aborers'
union only 5000 obeyed an order
Of the federal executive to strike
ut the hour court opened. There
were no other major work stop
pages.
This, said the newspaper Sydney
Sun, gave the Communist leaders
one of their greatest industrial
rebuffs In years.
The statements quoted in the
charges against Sharkey were
made at the time Communist
leaders in countries all around
the world were stating their sup
port for Russia in any future war.
Sharkey is charged. In part,
with having said:
If Soviet forces in pursuit Of
aggressors enter Australia, Aus
tralian workers would welcome
them"
The hearing was unfinished
when the court adjourned until
tomorrow.
The magistrate will commit
Sharkey for trial by jury before
q Judge If he believes a case has
been established against him.

1t is estimated this program

cent of its total income with
1000, 900 persons additional to be
employed. A similar one has cost
Australia 7 per cent of its ma
tional income and Great Britain
nearly seven million pounds on
the basis of present expenditures
in the first year of operation of the
program.
Would Cost Sc Billion
Great Britain estimated its pro-
gram of sociaIized medicine
would cost three million pounds
for thirty million people but ex-
penditures actually have been on
the basis to date of nearly seven
million pounds annually. The
program on the same level in the

Objections 10 18th ST,
Nursery School

Objections to establishment of
a nursery school at BIB Sixteenth
street NE. were voiced by a group
of neighboring residents today
before t,,tf9ssd the Board + zonine Ad-
The board was asked to permit
an exception to the coming regu-
lations so the school could be
opened by Mrs. Mary r. Waller,
1918 Irving street NE. to care
for children from 2 to S years OF
age while their parents worked.
Among the DIRECTORS was Ray
ford Logan of 1919 Jackson street
NE. a history instructor at How
ard University. who expressed fear
the noise would be disturbing.
Other contentious were that the
nursery school was not needed in
the nighborhood and that the
building in question was very
small.
Among other appeals heard by
the board was a request by Rich
mond Harris for permission to
make structural alterations to
convert 1929 Thirty third street
NV. into two one-family dwell
ings.
Residents of that neighborhood
appeared to express opposition to
any alteration which permit use
of the building for flats or one
room apartments.
The board was asked by E. c.
Ernst for permission to establish
a temporary automobile parking
lot at 2017 F street NV. Fear
that this might result in traffic
congestion was expressed by sew
eral persons.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, rep
resenting George Washington Uni
versity. said while the need for
parking space in the neighborhood
was great, he wished to point out
to the board that use of the alley
as an entrance and exit to the
proposed parking lot might consti-
tute an annoyance. Gen. Grant
suggested that F street be used
for egress and ingress, since the
use Of the alley would interfere
with residents who have garages
on the alley.
