REDUCE MARINE CORPS! CANNOT
 TALK JUST YET

McCHORD AIR BASE, Wash. Oct. 18.-tR-Gen. J. Lawton Col lins, Army Chief of staff, declined with a laugh--to comment on charges that he would reduce the Marine Corps to police force. ,
 Collins left by plane for Wash ington, D. C., after a brief visit with the tase commander, Col. Fred c. Nelson, and other Air Force and Army officers.
 ''I'l comment he laughed, when I return to Washington and have time to study General Gates remarks at leisure"
 Gen. Clifton B. Gates. command ing officer of the Marine Corps. told the House Armed Services Committee yesterday that Collins was the author of plan to turn over most of the Marines functions to the Army and Air Force.
 Collins arrived here after a direct flight from Adak in the Aleutian Islands where he stopped enroute back from Tokyo.

TRIUMPH FOR AMERICAN JUSTICE

Editor Charles of the Ketchikan News hit the popular chord the verdict of the eleven Com munLsts. Other newspapers in the States will prob- able have good editorials the verdict but Charles is the first to be received The Empires desk and here it is:
 A most remarkable demonstration of American jurisprudence is furnished by the trial of II Com munists just concluded in New York.
 In no other nation in the world today would any high court judge have put up with the constant batting, the hecklng along with every possible kind of underand rickery to try and discredt the judge and make joke out of his court.
 In fact, many Americans decidedly im- patient with the manner in which Judge Harold F. Medina allowed the defense attorneys and their wit nesses so much leeway dscredt his court and try to defeat the ends of justice.
 The Il Red leaders have been found guilty by 12 jurors, four and eight women who also refused

JOHNSON WORRIES OVER TITO

Shooting from the hip. Secretary Of Defense Johnson brought U s. foreign policy up to date the other day for the men who must vote the money to finance it.
 Johnson was the star witness at a closed door session of the Senate appropriations committee The State Department was also repre- sented by Undersecretary of State James Webb. but he faltered and fumbled under the Senators with ering cross ss-examination.- With two exceptions, however, Johnson snap ped back the answers without hesI- tation. These two involved Yugo- slavia.
 The Secretary of Defense readily admitted that Yugoslavia was the most explosive spot on the globe. and warned:
 Anything can happen there any day any moment"
 But he wouldn't say whether the United States is committed to rush arms to Tito, or what the U. s.

UNDERsECRETARY FORGETs

The next hot subject brought up was China Cropping a bit for words, Webb explained that Secretary of State Acheson had assigned three groups to study China, then hal invited 20 prominent citizens last week to consult on the question.
 Bridges promptly asked for the names of the 20 citizens. but Webb could think of only two-former Secretary of State George Marshall and former Republican presidential canidate Harold Stassen. Bridges then demanded that the committee be furnished with the other eigh- teen.
 Another consistent critic of our China policy, Sen Knowland, Cali fornia Republican, asked about the S75 5,000,000 President Truman had asked as a blank check to aid China.
 Will this $75, 100000 be used if 1t is authorized?" asked Know land.
 Webb hestitated, but Johnson spoke up bluntly
 "As far as the Defense Depart ment is concerned" he declared, it wouldn't be asked for unless we intend to use it.

CBy the Associated Press)

4 swirllng white preyiew of win ter banked five-foot snow drifts in Montana today and dipped temper atures in the Rocky Mountains area as low as 12 degrees.
 The windy snowfall was in con- trast to the pleasant autumn weather which prevailed over most of the eastern half of the ccun- try.
 North winds, recorded at 55-mile speed in top gusts. piled the snow which fell mainly on the eastern slopes of the northern Rockies and in the northwest plains area ad- jacent The actual fall ranged from six inches at Cutbank, Mont, and five inches in Yellowstone National Park to approximately one inch in most of the area.
 No emergency conditions were caused by the storm, authorities said. The early morning minimum of 12 degrees above zero was re- ported at Cutbank. The mercury was under the freezing mark at most Montana points.

THE ELUSIVE ARK

We shall await the outcome of the latest Mt Ararat expedition with than interest. There have been countless quests for Noahs Ark since Biblical times While there is enough evidence to support the Old Testaments story that the Ark could have ridden the storm and landed mountain side, there is to suppose that the re- mains of would have been found centuries ago than that they have survived to this day.
 In any case an object lying the mountain-sde has been spotted from the air It might conceivably be the Ark. The searching party of Americans feels confident that it is. This miscellaneous group, sisting of retired missionary engineer physicist and, of all things, interior decorator has been persuasive enough receive the blessing and assist ance of the Turkish Government to make the exped- ton.
 Weather conditions have been more propitious this year for such expedition than before as a result of an unusually heavy thaw, which has un- covered the mysterious object This at least, may be identified. We strongly doubt, however, that it is going to be Noahs Ark

plans to do in case of clash. Those were the only questions the Secretary of Defense ducked.
 Johnson was more optimistic about Greece, predicted that the United States will he able to walk out and leave Greece standing on her own two feet in eight to l2 months. Only two pockets of Com munist guerrillas are left, he said. All that remains for the Greek gov- ernment is to wipe out these pock- cts and guard the borders against Communist outsiders.
 Senator Burnet Maybank. South Carolina Democrat, asked the Un- dersecretary of State about Spain.
 Are cur relations with Spain improving?" he inquired.
 '"Very definitely replied Under secretary of State Webb.
 'Is that just a Columbus Day de- claration, or are relations actually improVing?" broke in Senator Styles Brides, New Hampshire Republican.
 Our relations with Spain are actually improving" reiterated MT Webb.

FOR ATLANTIC PACT

Senators Ken Wherry of Nebras- ka and Homer Ferguson of Michi- gan, also Republicans. asked about the defense plans of the Atlantic Pact nations They pointed out that, under the law, arms for Eu- rope could not be sent until an in- tegrated defense plan was worked out.
 How" asked Ferguson, ''can you ask for appropriations for arms implementation if no defense plan has been submitted?"
 Johnson replied that the Atlantic Pact nations have been working on on defense plan since October 5. Although no formal plan has been agreed upon. the tentative plan is 10 such shape that defense officials te1 they could go ahead. 4 comprehensive strategy would be re@cy hy January. but the Presi- dent Eas1iao lse appropriations also to oe agslsple 50 he could act EiiAo71t delay.

Get Down 10 Gases Judge Tells Lawyers
 In Conspiracy Case

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-R-Judge Walter J. Labuy told the prosecu- tion to "get down to cases" as the second trial of Preston Tucker and several associates on charges of mail fraud and conspiracy opened in Federal District Court.
 Selection of jury began after Labuy had overruled defense mo- tions for a continuance and separ- ate trials for three of the defend- ants. Tucker and his associates are charged with fraud and violating federal investment rules in their unsuccessful venture to mass-pro- duce a Tucker automobile. The first trial ended in mistrial.
