BERLIN. May 2e-An American
Civil Service Grievance Commit
tee here is studying . case which
may decide how freely military
government officials viii talk In
future to congressional and other
investigating groups from Wash

The case concerns Alexander
Sacks, New York attorney who was
a member Of the LIBERALIZATION
group which was in charge OF
breaking up Germans huge and
vicious cartels or trusts.
For some time there have been
doubts about how effectively this
is being done. Last December
former Secretary of the Army

by Federal Trade Commissioner
Garland s. Ferguson to find out.
The committees report, which
was submitted to Acting Secretary
of the Army Gordon Grey In April,
was q sizzler. 1t said the decartel-
ization program had been junked

liam H. Draper. jr.. former Under

Mr.. Sacks was among the wit
nesses who appeared before the
Ferguson group. In addition he
was asked by the committee to
present O written comment" {"
About the same time he was trans
ferred to q new job with the Civil
Administration Division.
In January, before the report was
presented. Mr.. Sacks was sus-
pended on charges Of attacking the
good faith and integrity" Of Mr..
Draper and other key military

ary, on direct orders Of the Army

Pope Calls on Faithful
For Rome Pilgrimage
During 1850 Holy Yeal
sy ssss Assse;asse prsss

. VATICAN CITY. May 26.-Pope
Plus XII called on the Roman
Catholic world today to make a
pilgrimage OF peace TO Rome dur
ing the 1850 holy year.
In q papal bull officially pro-
claiming the holy year. the 73-
year r-old pontifi implored that
peace finally return to the hearts
Of every one within domestic walls,
In individual nations. in the uni
versal commonwealth Of peoples. "
A gray-haired prelate read the
bull in the gerat portico Of the
Basilica Of st. Peter according 10
ancient custom. II will be read
later In the Basilicas of st. John
Lateran. st. Paul and Santa Maria
Maggiore In Rome.
The bull. q brightly colored
parchment Of about 800 words in
Latin. was handed by the Pope to
Msgr. Alfonso Carmel, dean of
the apostolic pronotaries. at a
ceremony In the throne room OF
the Apostolic Palace. Msgr. Ca
rinci descended into the portico OF
the basilica. where q crowd OF
about Z. 1000 persons had assembled.
He read the document from a pull
pit erected before the great bronze
doors Of the church.
Pope Not Present.
The Pope himself did not ap-
pear at the public ceremony.
In handing the document to
Msgr. Carmel. the Pope made a
brief speech, expressing hope that
the prayers Of the faithful during
the holy year will contribute to-
ward obtaining for the human
species that true harmony Of
hearts and that genuine peace
which only God can bestow."
In the bull the Pope warned
pilgrims. who are expected to
pour into Rome by the tens of
thousands beginning next Christ
mas Eve, not to come for q good
time.
These pilgrimages must not
be made with the mentality OF
those who travel for pleasure.
the Pope said. but with the spirit
Of piety which animated the
faithful of past centuries who.
overcoming obstacles Of all kind.
often afoot. came to Rome to
wash away their sins with tears
Of sorrow and to implore Of God
peace and forgiveness.
Plenary Indulgence Given.
Roman Catholics who make the
holy year pilgrimage to Rome
and observe certain conditions re-
ceive q plenary indulgence-full
remission of temporal punishment
due to forgiven sin 50 that no
further expiation is required in
purgatory.
In ancient times holy years
were proclaimed every so years.
Later this was shortened to every
rs years. The Pope however. can
proclaim an extraordinary one at
any time he may desire for special
reasons. Plus xI proclaimed one
In 1898 on the anniversary eofrthe
death Of Christ. The last normal
holy year before that was In 1925.
The pontiff enumerated eight
points to be held in mind by the
faithful during the 1850 holy year.

Sacks Hearing Opens in Reich
lon Cartel Testimony Charges

/ the report sustained and con-
nrmed Mr.. Sacks testimony. This
was given in q letter dated
May i3.
On May Ii. as one OF his last
omcial acts as American military
governor in Germany. Gen. Lucius
-. Clay. ordered a new suspension
and fixed a grievance committee
hearing. Three days later Mr..
Sacks again was reinstated but
the grievance committee was or
dered to 90 ahead with the
charges.
Today's proceedings were in
the form of opening skirmishes
only. Mr.. Saks. small. precise and
determined. asked that the hear
ing be transferred to Washington
for two reasons.
One, he said. was that he
wanted to call 10 witnesses. In
|cluding Gen. Clay and Mr.. Draper.
who are now in the United States.
Second. he charged that Acting
Military Governor Maj. Gen.
George p. Hays, had "prejudiced"
the case in press conference COM
|ments and In letters he wrote as
long ago as last year.
Hays Must Give OK.
Gen. Hays, in the normal course
of events, would have 70 approve
or disapprove the grievance COM
mittee findings. He once accused
10 members Of the Decentralization
staff of being "disloyai" because
they had questioned some Of the
military governments procedures.
The Grievance Committee.
headed by John Tromer Of the
personnel Office. said 1t would rule
tomorrow morning on Mr.. Sacks
request. 1t adjourned without
hearing other testimony.
Mr.. Sacks Is no novice at trust
busting. He was Department OF
Justice representative in France
and Germany In 1945 on cartel
problems and formerly served
under Mr.. Berge. in the Anti
Trust Division in washington.
Mr.. Sacks suspension for tes-
tifying before the Ferguson group
would seal most military govern
ment lips on any similar future
occasion.
