BY The Asseeiatsd Press

MANILA, Nov. 22.-Constabu-
larry headquarters reported today
q big battle was raging between
Communicated Hukbalahaps and
constabulary forces in Batangas
Province. about 60 miles south Of

About 300 dissidents, using

There was no immediate report
on casualties.
Brig. Gen. Alberto Ramos. chief
Of the constabulary. said he would

The area where the fighting was
reported today contains many sup
porters of DR.. Jose P. Laurel, pup
pet president under the Japanese

Quirino in the November 8 elec-
ton. .,
Many Of DR.! Laurels followers
have expressed dissatisfaction with
the results Of the election and the
manner in which 1t was conducted.
Only q few hours before the out
break Of the battle, constabulary
headquarters asked for 5000 re-
cruits for possible use against ele-
ments grumbling over the election.

Building Unions Dispute
Is Settled Out Of Court

A dispute over which Of two
local unions was to have juris-
diction over laborers on tall
apartment buildings has been
settled out Of court, through q
pooling arrangement yet to be
worked out. it was announced
today by counsel.
The Building Construction,
Supply and Material Yards, Union
Local 764, contended In q suit
filed last month that it was to
have exclusive jurisdiction over
common laborers on private resi-
dence and apartment house con-
struction here.
Instead, the complaint con-
tended that, under a ruling Of the
executive board of the Interna-
tional Hod Carriers. Building and
Common Laborers Union, Local
"a of the international was given
jurisdiction over workers on
apartment buildings OF more than
four stories. The ruling would
strip Local 764 of 800 members,
the suit declared.
Attorney Martin r. ODonoghue.
representing Local 764, and Attor-
|ney Nicholas ]. Chase, represent
ting the international. said the
mechanics Of the pooling ar
rangement by which members Of
Local 764 may work on taller

out.

She is appealing her conviction IN
Washington.
Mr.. Pomerantz, former deputy
chief United States counsel who
helped get indictments against
Nazi industrialists in 1946 in Ger
many, announced last night he
had been enlisted by friends OF
Gubitchev.
Mr.. Pomerantz told newsmen he
had been engaged by Gubitchev-
not by the Soviet Embassy-and
that he expected his fee would
be paid by Gubitchev. Mr.. Pom
erantz was a courtroom spectator
last Thursday and Friday during
pretrial hearings.
Yesterdays appeal for delay in
behalf of Miss Coplon was argued
before Judge Hand by Samuel
Masia, associate of her regular
counsel, Archibald Palmer.
Mr.. Palmer was in Washington
hoping to start action in the Su-
preme Court in behalf OF Miss
Coplon. The lawyer said he was
prepared to act in the event the
high court announced a decision
in the case of Eugene Dennis, a
convicted Communist leader. The
court did not hand down the
decision.
Palmer Ready to Seek Writ.
Dennis, fighting a conviction OF
contempt of Congress, is appealing
on the ground that it is unconsti-
tutional for Federal employees to
serve on Federal juries. There
were seven Government workers
on the Washington jury which
convicted him.
Mr.. Palmer told newsmen that
if the court had reversed the Den
mis- conviction, he would have
asked for a writ of habeas corpus
for Miss Coplon. The lawyer said
that nine of the II grand jurors
who indicted her in Washington
were Government workers, and the
jury which convicted her con-
tanned 6 of them.
The Supreme Court, in an
earlier decision, ruled that Gov
ernment workers may serve on
grand and trial juries in the Dis
trict of Columbia.

meeting.
Dismantling Top Issue.
Nevertheless, talks between
German Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer and Western Allied high
commissioners in Germany indi-
Gated the points to be negotiated. .
And those points are certain to be
the prime issue In the French As
sembly debate. They are:
/. Dismantling. Apparently all
dismantling except that OF war
production plants Is to be slowed
down or perhaps halted entirely.
Hitherto France has held out for
much more dismantling than
either Britain or the United States
wants. Many French Deputies
disapprove any change In this
policy, which is born Of Frances
historic fear Of q militarily strong
Germany.

in this country for two weeks as

Both British and American Of

unofficially, as a private person.
But the trip will give him an
opportunity to talk with Gen.

Mr.. Chambers cheerfully ad-
mitted having sworn to false
statements in the passport appli-
cation. Mr.. Cross tried to make
him admit he had intended to

But Mr.. Chambers, who embraced

from communism, would only re-
ply: II intended to get a pass

"At that time" Mr.. Cross asked,
what was your conception of an

piled, which is that an oath Is
not binding on a Communist"
"You knew you were . traitor
to the United States"
IT am not sure I could say I
knew it-but in fact I was"
Mr.. Cross, who had told the jury
in his opening statement that Mr..
Chambers disguised" himself for
his passport picture, tried to bring
this out in questioning the wit
ness.
"Is this picture a likeness Of
you?" he asked, showing Mr..
Chambers photostat Of the pass

1T is a passport likeness.

of some fireworks when he asked
Mr.. Chambers:
"Have you ever been indicted
for periury?"
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas F. Murphy hoisted
his 25O-pound bulk out Of his
chair in hurry.
II object to that" he roared.
That's a highly improper ques-
ton coming from some one with
this mans experience"
Mr.. Cross, a mild little man
who comes up to the prosecutors
shoulder, said he did not think
the question was improper, but
Federal Judge Henry w. Goddard
sustained Mr.. Murphy's objection.
Defense Discovered Passport.
Mr.. Cross showed his interest
in the passport from his opening
question yesterday. Between the
two trials the defense had discov-
cred that Mr.. Chambers applied
for a passport in May. 1885, a fact
which Mr.. Chambers had not
mentioned previously.
Under direct examination by
Mr.. Murphy, however, the former
Time Magazine editor said he dis
cussed the passport with Mr.. Hiss,
whom he accuses of having worked
with him in prewar Red spy
ring in Washington. -t..
Mr.. Cross was plainly irked by
this sudden addition to the Cham
bers story and he, plainly ,indi-
Gated that he thought the witness
had mentioned the passport only
because he knew the defense had
learned about it.
Chambers Remains Bland.
"You knew we'd just found a
copy of the passport application,
didn't you?" Mr.. Cross asked.
IT can't say that I did," said Mr..
Chambers blandly, settling his
pudgy figure further back in the
witness chair.
when did you first know we
had seen a copy of it?" Mr.. Cross
persisted.
Mr.. Chambers said he still didn't
know that they had seen a copy
Of it. "I'm in the dark about that,
he said.
In his opening statement last
Friday to the jury Of 8 women and
4 men, Mr.. Cross had announced
that Mr.. Chambers applied for the
passport under the name Of David
Breen, using the birth certificate
/, of a child who died at the age OF
three. The defense attorney
termed this "ghoulish" proce-
dure.
He asked Mr.. Chambers: do

Lewis Action Blocks
|0perators' Trustee
Until Truce Is Over
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The determined figure of John
L. Lewis repeatedly stood today
between former Federal Judge
Charles I. Dawson and q seat on
the Board Of Trustees for the
United Mine Workers welfare and
pension fund.
The UNIV leader was said to
have prevented Mr.. Dawson from
formally taking his seat as opera
tors trustee at a stormy three
hour session yesterday. Mr.. Lewis,
representing the miners. is chair
man Of the board. Senator
Bridges. Republican. Of New
Hampshire is the neutral member.
The Lewis action apparently
leaves Mr.. Dawson's status up In
the air until the trustees next
meeting. scheduled for Friday, De-
cember 2. That would be two days
after the current truce in the mine
strike Is due to end.
Feel Date Has No Bearing.
Operators thought the date had
nothing to do with whatever
plans Mr.. Lewis may have for re-
Stunning the strike or keeping the
miners at work after November
80.
AS the date for ending the truce
approached, q Pittsburgh survey
showed that householders and in
dustries in Eastern States were
buying coal steadily. But in only
one State-Illinois-were custom
ers reported buying more than
their usual requirements. =
President Truman has said he
would use the Taft Hartley labor
law or any other act on the books
to halt q coal emergency If one
arises. The labor act provides for
obtaining an 80-day court injunc-
ton to keep the miners at work.
Resignation Sent to Owners.
According to the report, Mr..
Lewis main reason for blocking
Mr.. Dawson was that Ezra Van
Horn, the man Mr.. Dawson was
to replace. is involved in litiga-
ton over spending of the funds
and has not officially resigned to
the Trustee Board. Mr.. Van Horn
sent in his letter Of resignation
to the mine owners who had ap-
pointed him.
Mr.. Lewis, Mr.. Dawson and Sen
ator Bridges all said they would
not discuss what went on at their
closed meeting. !.
They gave reporters a six-line
typewriter statement which said:
"A number Of questions arose
which will require additional con-
sideration and some study by the
trustees before determination of
the issues can be reached"
Mr.. Dawson told newsmen after
returning to his home at Louis
vile. KY: II am not concerned
about my membership on the
board. When the board has its
next meeting. I will be there"
Until Mr.. Dawson is seated, the
votes Of Mr.. Lewis and Senator
Bridges would Offset each other,
because the two have split over
Senator Bridges refusal to tap
the $13.000.000 collected since the
mine contract expired last June
30. About $850,000 remains of
the royalties collected before that
date.
The scrap over Mr.. Dawson de-
layed q vote on the spending of
the money.
The fund now is financed by
q 20-cent levy on every ton Of
coal produced In union mines.
Mr.. Lewis is reported to want to
double that amount. although the
operators say he hasn't been spe-
