Action on DIP Bill
Expected Next Month

Congress is expected to act
quickly next month on a bill lift
ing United States admission bars
to additional thousands Of Eu-
ropes displaced persons.
A House Judiciary subcommit-
tee yesterday completed work on
o measure to liberalize the Dis
placed Persons Act of 1948, elm
mating allegedly discriminatory
features and boosting the admis-
sion quota from the present 205.-
900 to q possible top Of 1000.
Two new groups would be add
ed: $4,000 Polish war veterans
who fought for the Allies, and
1000 refugees from Shanghai
now under care of the Interna-
tional Refugee Organization.
The subcommittee also provided
for q maximum Of $4,000 DPS
who would have to be certified
individually by the State Depart
ment for admission. This provi-
sion vas understood to apply spe-
cifically to those who might escape
from Soviet dominated areas. A
request to give such persons
United States citizenship was re-
Gently made of Congress by the
Central Intelligence Agency for
aliens who furnished spy informa-
ton to this country.
The new bill also wipes out the
preference for farm workers and
persons whose countries have been
annexed. and chops a provision
requiring DPS to have guarantees
of employment and housing.

| With Toy Pistol
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. April IA IA
year-old toy pistol bandit failed
in his attempt to hold up the
ater cashier last night. but he
gave police a movie-like chase
and battle before surrendering.
The cashier, Mrs. Lucille Mel

ing, pearl-handled pistol through

This is a holdup. Give me
all your money"
She rang an alarm bell.
At this the boy tore, out of the
theater lobby and almost ran into
Patrolman Robert Norwood. who
had heard the alarm. The boy
quickly changed his direction
and the policeman gave chase.
Firing as he fed. the young
ster ran almost two blocks before
Patrolman Norwood brought hin
down with q flying tackle.

Dismissal Of Policeman
UpheId by Commissioners

The Commissioner have upheld
q Police Trial Board decision to
dismiss Gregory A. O'Connor from
the Metropolitan Police force.
The former 18th precinct police
private appealed to the Commis-
sioners after the trial board
found him guilty last month on
charges of conduct unbecoming
an officer and willfully using
violence.
Mr.. o'Connor was ordered be-
fore the board after Robert s.
Simms, q former Greenbelt. Md.
resident, charged that the police
man beat him with a blackjack
while the two were riding In q
taxicab In Berwyn, Md.
No court action was taken since
MIR. Simms, who works in Panama,
said it would be inconvenient to
remain here while the charge was
prosecuted.
The trial board cleared Mr..
O'Connor of a charge of making
an untrue statement to superior
officer. The dismissed policeman
lives at 9506 Fifty-second avenue.

Bitter U. n. Debate
Due After Russians
Blast Atlantic Pact
by fhs Assoeiofsd Prsss

NEW YORK, April IA bitter
full-scale debate on the North
Atlantic Pact shaped up in the
United Nations Assembly today as
. result of Russia's opening blast
here at the 12-power treaty.
The delegates had expected to
switch back to committee meet
ings at Lake Success but the
schedule was hurriedly revised
after the United States and other
countries demanded the floor to
Join battle on the pact.
Assembly President Herbert v.
Evatt of Australia called Plenary
meetings of the So nations at
Flushing Meadow Park for II am.
and 3 pm. and for a night meet
ing If necessary.
Warren r. Austin, chief Amer
ican delegate. demanded the floor
yesterday Immediately after An
drei A. Gromyko, Russia's No. l
Deputy Foreign Minister, finished
his 6,500-word attack on the pact
signed April 4 In Washington.
DR.. Evatt, however. ruled that
the United States already had
spoken on the veto questionable
item before the Assembly-and
could not speak again until other
countries had their chance.
Mr.. Austin then asked to be
allowed to speak at the earliest
opportunity. It was expected he
would get the floor some time this
morning.
Mr.. Gromyko charged the pact
was intended as a means for
preparing atomic war on Russia.
He said preparations already
were under way for the war.
Mr.. Austin issued a statement
to the press last night denying
the pact is aimed at any coun-
try. He said no nation had any
thing to fear from the treaty un-
less 1t planned to attack one of
the countries which signed the
pact.
Technically, the issue before the
Assembly still was the veto ques-
ton, but many delegates were
reported hastily revising their
speeches to include statements on
the pact.
