Ed Wynn is the latest to come into
the NBC fold from CHS, which has
been presenting him on television.
He moves to the new network Cor
rather back to the old one where he
started back In the '30s) in the fall,
with a contract calling for II TV ap-
pearances, one q month. This could
mean that NBC has him in mind as
the third Of the four rotating" CO.
medians on the Sunday night show
for which Fred Allen and Eddie
Cantor already have been an
nounced. 1t is indicated that NBC
will remove the factor which has
had a lot to do with keeping Wynn's
television audience smaller than it
should have been, in the face OF the
high praise the comic got. The new
show for NBC-TV will be done in
New York and will 60 to the network
live rather than by kinescope. Mr..
Wynn may take on some radio in
the fall.
Groucho Marx, who also moves to
the NBC-TV in the fall, apparently
is not one of the comedians being
considered for that Sunday night
show. The word now is that he will
continue working for his present
sponsor when he makes the change
of networks. His show will be done
in Hollywood, but it will be film
recorded rather than kinescope
which is something vastly different.
Mr.. Marx, incidentally, will make
his television debut next Monday
night at 7:45 on CBS-TV's Parade

will be a quix quiz show and, ac-
cording to the master, a Great Dane

Corporate Profits
Up SIX ior Quarter
In Record Flood
Korean War Adds FilIip
To Earnings Increase
Already 43% Ahead

NEW YORK, Nov. Corpora

record f1ood-51 per cent greater
for the last quarter than in July
August and September of 1919
under the shadow cast by threat

The Korean war merely added
a snappy flip to the earnings
gain already underway. In thu
second quarter, before the war
profits were running 43 per cent
ahead of 1949's like period. The

was in spite of an increase in the
corporation income tax from 80 to

But retroactive excess profits

Atlantic Pact Groups
Study German Role
In Mutual Defense
By John A. Giles

Key working committees of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton met here today to attempt
to reconcile the two widely differ
ing plans for the use Of German
manpower in an integrated West
ern Europe defense force.
The Council of Deputies, a
working group of the top level
Council of Foreign Ministers. and
the Military Committee, COM
posed of the military chiefs of
staff, received the assignment
The Military Committee began
declarations almost Immediately
after the defense ministers ad-
journed last night.
The problem to work out was
this: Cd Either to get the French
to agree to the so-called American
plan of using some German divi-
sions (perhaps or 10) with GER
tain safeguards against the re-
surgence of German militarism,
which has actually been accepted
by defense chiefs of all the Allan
tic pact nations except France; or
90 accept some compromise ac-
ceptable to all II nations.
When France announced a pro-
posal under which German re-
armament would be linked to Gre
alton of European defense coun-
Gil, the question ceased to be
purely military. 1t involved also
something like a federation in
Europe with perhaps a minister
and special body.
Both Angles to Be CO-ordinated.
Thus it was felt necessary to
have the two working committees
meet to coordinate the military
and political angles.
Secretary of State Acheson said
today he is not at all pessimistic
of the ability of the two commit
tees to work out the problem. He
said it is one of those things that
just have to be worked out.

raised tough questions about how
to reconcile the concept of an in
tegrated force for the defense OF
Western Europe with the French
conception that a part of that

has prepared a bill for introduc-
ton of the forthcoming short

"super carrier"
Both House and Senate are con-
sidered likely to approve the pro-
posal. Mr.. Vinson, without saying
SO directly, implied it had admin
iStration approval.
The new carrier would be about

posed f1ush-deck carrier which

U. n. Keeps Lie
; More Years
Despite Red Bloc
Assembly Vote
Is 46 to 5, With
7 Abstentions
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. l. The
United Nations General Assembly
today extended Secretary General
Trygve Lies term for three more
years despite a Soviet bloc threat
not to deal with him.
BY vote of 46 to 5, with 7
abstentions, the Assembly sup
ported the United States position
that MI. Lie should be kept in
Office as an expression of con-
fidence for the way he handled
the Korean case.
Before keeping Mr.. Lie in the
$40, ,000-a-year job, the Assembly
rejected a Soviet resolution to
toss the matter back to the Sc
curity Council, which had failed
to agree on a candidate after a
month of consideration. The vote
on the Russian proposal was
in favor, 81 against and II ab-
staining.
Vishinsky Leads Attack.
An Iraqi resolution to refer the
issue to seven-member commit
tee for two-week study also was
rejected. The vote on this was
IS for. 81 against and abstaining
The Assembly action came after
a day and half of debate. So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky led the Russian bloc's
opposition to Mr. Lie charging
that the Norwegian was a stooge
of the American State Depart
ment.
United States Warren r. Aus
tin declared the Assembly could
not allow Russia to punish Mr.. Lie
because the secretary general had
supported the U. N. action against
the North Koreans.
Mr.. Vishinsky resumed his fight
against Mr.. Lie this morning, even
though 1t had become apparent
by the tone of the debate that the
Norwegian had enough backing to
be retained.
Assembly President Nasrollaf
Entezam of Iran suggested that
the members vote by secret ballot
on the extension resolution but
said this could not be done if any
delegation objected. Chile OBJ
jected, and the vote was by a
show of hands.
Sponsored by u. S.
The United States and IA other
nations sponsored the resolution
providing for Mr.. Lies retention.
The secretary-general's hackers
said keeping him in Office would
constitute vote of confidence for
his support of U. N. action against
aggression in Korea.
Mr.. Vishinsky told the Assembly
that when Russia objected to Mr..
Lie it was "the duty of others to
respect" the Soviet view. Other

Three Judges Indicate
Belief in Validity
OF Entire 0ber Law
Delayed Opinion Reflects
Attitude Of Morbury,
DeIoploine and Collins
By the Associo.ed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. Half the
members of the Maryland Court
of Appeals indicated in a delayed
opinion today that they believe
the States Ober law against SUBJ
versive activities is valid.
The court has not yet made a
ruling on the law, however.
Chief Judge Ogle Marbury,
speaking for himself and Asso-
ciate Judges Edward S. Della
plaine and Stephen R. Collins,
made the observation in explain
ing why the court last month up
held the Ober law loyalty oath for
a candidate for Governor.
The court ruled at the same
time that the special pledge can
not be exacted of a candidate for
Congress.
Attack Called Unjustified.
Judge Marbury noted that at
torneys for the Progressive Party
in their attack on the loyalty
oath also contended the entire
act should be held unconstitu-
tional.
The chief judge said the court
felt the Progressives did not have
a right to make such a broad
side attack at this time, but he
added:
1--WE are unable to find that the
statute before us, on its face,
violates any of the fundamental
rights of the appellants (the
Progressive candidates. or that it
is susceptible of an Interpretation
which makes it necessary for the
courts to strike it down.
Presumption for Validity.
"On the contrary, there is a
presumption in favor of its valid
ity and there has been presented
to us no argument which impairs
or rebuts that presumption"
The Court of Appeals last year
reinstated the Ober law after it
had been invalidated by Circuit
Judge Joseph Sherbow. That was
q technical ruling, however, with
out any decision on the merits of
the law itself.
Today's opinion was the first
indication on how members of the
court feel about the validity of the
whole law.
Only five judges heard the
Progressive case against the oath
and Judge Marbury, Delaplaine
and Collins formed the majority
in the 80 decision.
In the opinion filed today Judge
Marbury said the majority. in
finding that Louis Shub, Pro-
gressive candidate for Governor,
must sign the loyalty pledge or
be excluded from the ballot, linked
the loyalty oath section of the
Ober law with an anti-subversive
amendment to the constitution
approved by the voters in 1948.

support of organized labor, the
Democratic organization and has
been angling for the favor of the
large independent vote.
The Republicans point out that
Gov. Bowles won election in 194S
by scant $3.50 votes. Not wide
margin. They argue that Gov.
BoWles at that time was running
in presidential election year,
when a much larger vote turns out
than in an "off year" election;
that since he became Governor he
has antagonized various groups
and individuals, and that he has
failed to deliver on his campaign
promises.
It must be remembered, too,
Gov. Bowles was elected at time
