Freedom for Stepinae
If He Leaves Country
Hinted by YugosIavia
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia, Oct
14.-Yugoslavia handed out q
broad hint today that it would
like to release Roman Catholic
Archbishop Alojzijc Stepinac from
prison if and when he promises tc
leave the country.
The government, through its
official news agency. Tanjug. took
the unusual step of denying that
it had denied stories published
abroad saying the government was
ready to free Archbishop Stepinac
If he agreed to get out of Yugo-
slavia. t
Vatican sources said October
9 that the prelate was not in
terested in obtaining his release
on such terms. They said he
had long ago refused to accept
banishment as a condition of his
freedom.)
CCutCAlCCu W 10 1CdESs
Archbishop Stepinac was SEN
fenced in 1947 to 18 years impris-
onment on charges of aiding the
Ustachi, an organization which
Marshal Tito's Partisans claimed
worked with the enemy during
Yugoslavia's wartime fight for
liberation.
Konni Zilliacus, a leftiSt former
member of the British Parliament,
told reporters on October 9 that
the Yugoslav government was
willing to reprieve the archbishop
at once if he leaves the country.
In a statement issued through
the Ministry of Information, the
Yugoslav government said:
"The foreign press has pub
lished stories to the effect that
there was an official Yugoslav
denial of the statement made by
Konni Zilliacus (about Archbishop
Stepinac). According to several
foreign newspapers he said that
the Yugoslav government is ready
to release Archbishop Stepinac
under the condition that he leave
the country. 1t has been learned
from Tanjug that there has been
no official denial of Mr.. Zilliacus'
statement"
TronSfar Ranu;rod
Tanjug is the official Yugoslav
news agency.
Zilliacus was quoted as saying
Archbishop Stepinac would be
freed If the Vatican agreed to
transfer him elsewhere.
That statement was made upon
Zilliacus' return to England about
10 days ago. 1t was made against
the background of his stay here
for about six weeks, at least half
of which he spent in close associa-
ton with Tito and other top rank
ing members of the Yugoslav gov
ernment. For three weeks he was
the guest of Tito at the Yugoslav
chiefs summer resort island Broni
and in his villa in the summer
resort at Bled,

politics. That has been the pic
ture, but it is getting pretty badly

ting has been the work OF the
Political Activity Committee OF
the CIO.
What He Told Audience.
81 do not know" he told a
Cleveland audience Wednesday
night, whether or not the PAC
is being guided by the Commu-
nists today, but Investigations,
hearings, trials and public con-
fessions have proven that the
PAC was conceived in Communism,
had communistic midwives assist
ing at it's birth and was carefully
nurtured in it's formative period
by Communist teachers. He
added that the PAC ''has sought
to create class consciousness
among American people, breeding
dissension and hatreds."
Actually the PAC was conceived
largely in the mind of one man
and carefully nurtured in its
formative period" by that same
man-Sidney Hillman, head of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers. Mr.. Hillman brought the
PAC into being at the very time
he was leading the rough-and-
tumble fight within organized
labor to oust all Communists from
places of Importance. Some of the
"midwives" were Philip Murray,
Walter Reuther and other bitter
enemies of Communism.
Mr.. Hillman's fight on COM
munism began, unconsciously per-
haps. in that ideology's best breed
ing ground, the fetid soil of the
slums and the sWeatshops where
his early followers worked. All
that he did was calculated to i'm
munize these workers against the
germ of communism. In time,
thanks largely to his genius and
devotion, they achieved strong
Bargaining power and decent
wages. In time they had their
own banks. capable of riding
through the financial hurricane
of the late twenties and early
thirties that wrecked so many
other banks. In time they were
buying up slum tenements, tear
ing them down and building sani-
tary homes in their stead.
Spiritual Successor.
It is not strange that an organ
ization such as this should come
to have political influence and
seek to use it for the benefit of
its members and all other work.
ers. Not strange that Mr.. Roose-
velt should have said, if he did,
Clear it with Sidney" when the
question of the vice-presidential
nomination arose at the 1914
Chicago convention. In any case,
the spiritual successor of MIR. Hill
man in politics is an Amalgamated
worker, Jack Kroll of Taft's home
town, Cincinnati.
AS for creating class conscious
ness, breeding dissension and
hatreds, an incident occurring this
same week in New York would
seem to answer the charge. The

u. s. Presents Plan
For Macarthur Rule
Over North Korea
BY the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 14.-The
United States yesterday proposed
an occupation plan for Gen. Doug
las Macarthur to govern Korea
until an all-Korean regime is es-
tablished.
The Americans also suggested
to the United Nations Commission
on Korea that GIs be pulled out
of occupation duty as quickly as
possible, with other U. N. forces
taking up that task; that war
criminals be tried and that there
be no reprisals against North Ko-
rean soldiers and ordinary rank
and-file Communists in the north.
Finally, the Americans were re-
ported to have agreed with a
commission decision, transmitted
Thursday to Gen. Macarthur, that
the authority of President Syng-
man Rhee of the U. N.-Sponsored
Republic of Korea, be limited to
South Korea at least until all
problems on unifying the country
are settled.
Likely Conference Topic.
It was indicated here these ideas
would be among those subjects to
be discussed by President Truman
and Gen. Macarthur at their
Pacific conference.
In Seoul, Dr. Rhee and cabinet
members expressed disbelief at the
Korea commissions decision to
limit his governments immediate
control to South Korea. That
would make the plan impossible
for the Korean people to accept, !"
DR.. Rhee said.
The Americans were reported to
be favoring elections only in North
Korea, with vacancies in the pres
ent republican (South Korea)
Congress to be filled by these elec-
tions. They were said to be op-
posed to general, all-Korean elec-
tions on the grounds that the
republic was elected by a U. N
vote and it is not
necessary to have another ballot.
Australia, member of the Ko-
rean commission, is ready to
demand an all-Korean vote before
the unified government is formed.
Britain is said to be backing the
Australian view. A decision on
elections must be made later by
the U. N. commission.
Three Point Plan Offered.
The United States occupation
plan calls for:
Initial occupation to be from
the time the fighting is almost
over until internal security is es-
tablished in the greater part of
North Korea. Gen. Macarthur
would be the supreme authority.
Civil affairs would be limited to
emergency relief and assistance
and the initial establishment or
reactivation of local and provincial
governments. The period of this
phase would be brief.
The second phase would con-
tinue until elections are held in
North Korea which would enable
a national government to assume
responsibility. The republics leg
islature is holding 100 seats for
representatives from the north
but no one has come up with a
firm idea how the republic would
be merged with the north to make
an all-Korean government or

Call for Grand Jury Minutes
Argued at Jury Tompering ] rial

compelled illegally to testify be-
fore the grand jury.
The motion further charges the
grand jury minutes were altered
and that two persons were il
legally in the grand jury room
when Gary appeared. These in
cluded an FBI agent and a wom-
an juror in the gambling case
who allegedly was approached
during the trial, it was said.
Principal argument for the de-
fense was made by Attorney
Henry Lincoln johnson, jr., repre-
senting Caldwell. Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz ar
gued for the Government.

Further arguments on a mo-
ton to inspect grand jury min
utes in connection with jury tam
pering charges against two men
will be taken up by District Court
Judge Edward A. Tamm next Fri
day.
The motion was argued yester-
day in connection with the in
dictment last June of Bennie c..
Caldwell, owner of the Club Bali,
1901 Fourteenth street NV, and
another man on charges of tam
pering with the jury that heard
the gambling case against Will
liam (Snags) Lewis and two
others.
Ex-ASsOciate Accused.
The other man indicted on jury
tampering charges is Daniel M.
Gary, 54, of New York and Wash
ington, described as a former bus
mess associate of Caldwell. Both
Caldwell and Gary are colored.
Lewis and the other two were
convicted in District Court on a
gambling charge early this year,
but the conviction of Lewis and
one other, Frank Billeci, was re-
versed in the United States Court
of Appeals, leaving them to face
a retrial The third man, Attilio
Acalotti, who was convicted with
them, dropped his appeal.
Yesterday, Judge Tamm denied
a defense motion in behalf of
Caldwell to suppress evidence on
the jury tampering charges. De-
fense counsel contended the evi-
dence was obtained illegally when
Caldwell was arrested at his home.
Altering Minutes Charged.
The defense wants to inspect
the grand jury minutes because it
contends Caldwell and Gary were

Bridges Lawyer Cited
For Contempt After
.0utburst al Judge
BY the Assoeioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. s.
The second of Harry Bridges
brace of lawyers. defending him
against perjury charges, has been
cited for contempt.
Federal Judge George B. Har-
ris. after a night and a day of
deliberation, cracked down late
yesterday on James MacInnis.
Crisply the black-browed judge
reviewed a violent scene of We'd
nesday when Mr.. MacInnis stood
flushed and angry in court and
fairly shouted at Judge Harris:
"You ought to be ashamed of
yourself!"
After Judge Harris had dis
missed the jury for the overnight
recess, he addressed Mr.. Mac
Innis. He said he had studied
carefully the transcript of the
preceding days session.
Il shall have to certify that your
conduct, Mr.. MacInnis, consti-
IuCeQ contempt.
Other Got 6-Month Term.
Vincent Hallinan, who was cited
for contempt early in the trial
and sentenced to six months in
prison - with execution of SEN
tence deferred until the end of
the trial-leaped to his feet. He
shouted to be heard. But Judge
Harris would not be interrupted
and Mr.. Hallinan finally subsidized.
Sentence was deferred.
The outburst for which Mr..
MacInnis was cited came while

the Rev. Paul w. Meinecke of
Eureka, New, was on the witness
stand. After direct and cross
examination by counsel, Judge
Harris asked Father Meinecke sew
eral questions, including:
Have you recently been sub
jected to medical treatment?"
1t was then Mr.. MacInnis
roared to his feet:
"You ought to assign this as
misconduct against yourself! I
have never heard of anything like
this! Your Honor, you ought to
be ashamed of yourselfT
To Challenge Citation.
Mr.. Hallinan and Mr.. MacInnis
said they would take legal action
at once to challenge the contempt
citation. Mr.. Hallinan already
has done so in his own behalf.
