A surprise move by defense
counsel when a witness refused
to take an oath on the Bible
dealt the prosecution a setback
in the Axis Sally treason trial OF
Miss Mildred E. Gillars today, but
Chief Prosecutor John M. Kelley
struck back quickly with two
other witnesses.
The gray-haired defendant sat
impassive while a wounded veteran
of the Canadian Army and former
official of the German foreign Office
went to the stand afterwards and
pointed her out as the sultry-voiced
interviewer of Allied prisoners of
war in Nazi propaganda broadcasts.
George Heinrich Schnell, former
Nazi actor, was withdrawn after be-
ing challenged by James j. Laugh
lin, defense counsel. Schnell was to
cinch the Governments eyewitness
evidence to one of 10 overt acts of
treason cited in the indictment
against Miss Gillars.
Mr.. Kelley expressed confidence
that he will be able to recall
ISchnell after Judge Edward NJ Cur
ran has an opportunity to pass on
points of law which will be sub
mitted to him in written briefs.
In any event, Mr.. Kelly said, he
can recall Hans Won Richter, a
former Nazi official, who is prepared
to say that he was an eyewitness
to Miss Gillars' participation in the

Food Report Says Price HowIs
Are Louder Than Is Justified

But improvements will not re-
suit" it declared, "either from in
discriminate abuse of middlemen or
from any mere squeezing of profits. u
Profits were said to represent an
insufficiently large part of total
marketing charges to offer any op-
portunity for substantial cuts in
food prices.
The department saw more room
for cutting marketing costs in the
retail end than in the farm mar
keting and processing end. Never
theless professors and food handlers
have greatly increased their eff
cheney since before the war, the
report said.
Big supermarkets, with their self
service systems, were credited with
having done more than any recent
development in the food industry to
lower marketing costs.
The cost OF retailing was said to
be by far the largest single item
in the total spread between what
the farmer gets and what the con-
sumer pays. For some commodities
retailing was said to take almost
half the marketing cost. On the
whole it was said to represent about
Is cents out Of every dollar spent
for food.

yugosIavia Annoyed
By Red Bloc Exclusion
by the Associofed Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Feb. a.
Yugoslavia showed annoyance today
at Moscows failure to include her
in the new Russian-led Economic
Council of Mutual Aid.
Foreign Minister Edward Kardelj
SAID in a statement that Yugoslavia
could cooperate with the Soviet
Union and the other nations of
ECMA in an economic alliance If
those countries would end their
damaging campaign against the
Yugoslavs.
But if the Soviet Union wants
YugoSlavia in the bloc, it must drop
all charges of nonco-operation and
treat her as an equal, not satellite,
the state indicated.
Failure to invite Yugoslavia into
the ECMA consultations was an
other violation Of treaty obligations,
the statement said.
Inviting Yugoslavia, Kardelj said,
could have made possible "easier
liquidation of existing disagreements
between our country and the other
mentioned country" Thus, he said,
failure to invite Yugoslavia could
not be justified by existing abnor-
NAL relations between our country
and countries participating in these
consultations"
Kardelj said he noted with pleas
ure that the conclusions accepted
at the Moscow consultations we're
identical with the Yugoslav gov
ernments viewpoint on economic
cooperation. He said it was espe-
cially pleased with paragraph Of
fering equal rights to all states
composing the council.

Witness Bo|ks at Oath on Bible
Is Withdrawn at Treason ] rial
Two More Tell of Miss GIors Broodcosts
For Nuzis After Defense Scores Point

Ulrich Haupt, another actor in the
melodrama, gave the first such
testimony yesterday.
Two eyewitnesses are needed to
substantiate the presence of Miss
Gillars at the broadcast, which the
prosecutor contends was an overt
act of treason.
Schnell, tall, balding professional
actor who played the role of Miss
Gillars' husband in the melodrama
vision of INVASION" shook his
head at the Bible when he raised
his right hand to take the oath
as he was called to the stand. The
court clerk then administered the
oath usually reserved for Quakers
in which the witness "affrms" that
he will tell the truth.
Mr. Laughlin was on his feet i'm
mediately after Schnell shook his
head toward the Bible.
Il object to the testimony of this
witness Laughlin shouted. He does
not believe in God"
Judge Curran looked inquiringly
at the witness and Schnell said ::
Il am not a Christian"
Mr.. Kelley contended the law
clearly permits a witness to affirm
his intention to tell the truth, but
Mr.. Laughlin countered:
"Ah, yes, but the law expressly
forbids the testimony of an atheist"
Are you an atheist?" Judge Cur
ran asked the witness.
Il do not know" Schnell replied.

Reorganization Means

Tells Hearinq
Less Important Jobs
Also Should Be ReIeeoted
To Lower Spot, He Says
By Froncis P. DouqIos

Controller General Lindsay C
Warren told the Senate Expendi-
lures Committee today that some
agencies and functions must be
abolished in any Government
reorganization.
Reorganization is not just re-
shuff1ing," he testified as the COM
mittee opened hearings on legisla-
ton to give President Truman
power to reorganize the executive
agencies subject to congressional
veto.
"A tree expected to grow must be
carefully pruned," Mr.. Warren said.
For new branches to have life we
must cut off those no longer bear
ing fruit. This bill gives the ma
chinery for the greatest pruning
job in all history"
Other Jobs to Take Lower Spot.
In addition to the pruning, jobs
that have become less important
must be relegated to some lower
spot in the organization, he said,
adding:
This unsegregated, sprawling
crop Of Government functions and
functionaries cannot hope to op-
crate efficiently or to do we'll the
job the taxpayers are paying for
unless some one can assume the bur-
den of putting like functions to-
gether, to make only one or two bu-
reaus grow where dozens grew be-
fore"

Consumers have been doing more
bowling about high food prices than
is justified, according to the Agri-
culture Department.
1t issued food marketing report
today which took sharply to task
those who criticize farmers, food
professors and distributors.
Food consumers are better off, the
department declared, than their
protests indicate. Agreeing that
prices have risen sharply since be-
fore the war, the agency said in
comes have increased even more.
1T is true" the report said, that
many food prices are out of line. But
in general, the level of food prices
is not high enough to warrant all
the outcries against farmers and
food handlers"
The department said the figures
prove that point. An average family
has been paying, it said, only 81
per cent of it's income for the same
quantity of representative foods for
which it had to spend % per cent
before the war.
The department conceded that
there is room for improving the
efficiency of the food processing and
marketing system.
