Grand dJuryCha|Ienged
By Dairy in Asking
Price Suit Dismissal

The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association and
seven co-defendant Washington
area dairies, now awaiting trial
on 18-month-old price fixing
charges, today were trying a new
tack to obtain District Court dis
missal of the indictment.
Through John F. Hillyard, at
torney for the Wakefield Dairy,
dismissal was sought in a motion
contending that the grand jury
that returned the indictment was
improperly constituted because
some Of its members were either
Government employees or former
Government employees.
Mr.. Hillyard referred to the ap-
peal of Eugene Dennis, convicted
Communist Party secretary, be-
fore the Supreme Court on Mon
day. sThe attorney called atten-
ton to certain justices queries OF
Solicitor General Philip B. PERL
man on the possibility that Fed
eral employees serving on District
Court jurieS here might be afraid
to acquit a Communist because of
possible reprisals in their jobs.
Convicted of Contempt.
Dennis was represented before
the Supreme Court on Monday in
connection with his contempt-of-
Congress conviction here in 1947.
Citing certain justices ap-
parent misgivings on the desir-
ability of Federal employees sitting
as jurors in political" case, At
torney Hillyard noted that the
present membership of the
Supreme bench might rule
differently from an earlier court
lineup, which narrowly upheld
the validity of juries comprised of
Government workers.
Asks Delay Pending Ruling.
For this reason, the lawyer
urged District Court, the pending
trial of the dairy firms should be
delayed until after the Supreme
Court rules in the Dennis case.
These are the additional de-

For 1850, LANCER Says
By The Assoeio,ed Press

Senator LANCER. Republican, Of
North Dakota said today there is
nothing in the political winds at
present to indicate the Republi-
cans are going to make any gains
in the 1850 elections.
"The Republicans must offer
something good-they can't just
criticize" ." Senator LANCER said.
The North Dakotan, who often
disagrees with a majority Of his
Republican Senate colleagues,
added In an interview:
I'm my opinion. the Republi-
cans should not try to come up
with something spectacular. In
stead, they should take q tack Of
day-by-day trying to aid the little
fellow.
"The little fellow includes the
farmers and the small business
men. The income of both these
groups are down. The Republicans
can make gains by going to their

Italian Reds Warned
To Avert Church Fiqhf
BY the Associofed Press

ROME, Dec. 15.-Communist
Boss Palmiro Togliatti warned his
party yesterday to prevent a split
Of the italian people" on religious
grounds.
His warning was delivered at q
meeting Of the Italian Communist
Party Central Committee. It was
the first official party pronounce
ment since the Vatican decree ex-

Catholic Church all militant Com
munists.
The speech urging the Commu-
nists to shy away from an out
and-out religious battle in strongly
Catholic Italy bore the title "The
Party for Peace and Unity" The
party has shown no reluctance for
open battle with the church in
some other European countries
where Catholics are less strong
numerically.
Togliattl told the committee "the
situation In Italy Is confused. un-
certain and full Of contradictions. y
He said that while the destitute
farmers of the south were pressing
for better living conditions, q "ser-
ious industrial crisis" loomed In
Italy's Red north.
He called on the party to break
the power monopoly" of Premier
Alcide de Gasperi's dominant
Christian Democratic Party by
pushing the Communist peace
front" campaign and the recon-
struction plans sponsored by the
nist-dominated General
Confederation of Labor.

The Agriculture Department
raised this question today-are
we running our forests by cutting
down SO many Christmas trees?-
and answered: No.
Sparing the tree may spoil the
woodland, the department said in

ulates the growth of remaining
trees" 's- .@=. ..>.. -
What's more. dt said, many New

trees which they clear from pas
ture land. "If the Christmas tree
market did not exist, much desir-
able thinning or pasture clearing
might remain undone because of
labor costs"
The department estimated that
