ChrisfoffeI Loses Plea
For Time 10 Draft Case

Harold r. Christoffel today lost
a bid for more time in which to
prepare his case before the United
States Court of Appeals.
The court denied motions by
counsel for the former Milwaukee
labor leader convicted of perjury
for an extension of time in which
to file the record of the case.
Court attendants said it is un-
certain whether the action bars
the door to further appellate pro-
ceedings. Christoffel's lawyer, o.
John Rogge, could file a motion
for reconsideration of today's rul-
ing. The United States Attorneys
Office could request dismissal of
the appeal. Christoffel received
a two-to-six-year sentence.
Christoffel was convicted by a
District Court jury last March
Of lying to the House Labor Com
mittee about Communist activities
and affiliations. It was his second
conviction on the charge. Earlier
the Supreme Court reversed his
1948 conviction. The Supreme
Court held the Government had
failed to show that committee

perjury was committed.

porters that individual and cor

Chinese Red Junks
Near 0uemoy Island
Under Artillery Cover
Invasion Attempt Seen
But U. S. Indicates
1t Won't Interfere
BY the Associased Press

TAIPEI, FormoSa, July PA
Defense Ministry spokesman said
today a number of junks were ap-
preaching Quemoy Island under
cover of Chinese Communist ar
tillery barrage.
It may be the long expected in
vasion attempt against the Ma
tionaNS held island used as a
blockade base against the Reds.
The spokesman said Nationalist
forces on Quemoy. just off the
mainland port Of Annoy, were ad-
equate to meet the expected Red
attack. He said they would be sup
ported by locally assigned Ma
Iionalist air and naval units.
(The State Department indi-
Gated today that the United
States won't interfere if the
Communists try to invade Que
moy. An official said President
Truman's ban on fighting be-
tween the NationaliSts and Chi
ma Communists applies to For
mosa and the nearby Pescadores
Islands. Quemoy is more than
100 miles from Formosa.)
Artillery Opens Up.
Communist artillery began bonn
harding the town of Guanau, on
Quemoy's northeast coast, at II
pm. g am. E.D.T0 yesterday.
The spokesman said President
Truman's July q request to halt
air and sea operations against
the Red mainland did not preclude
the defense of Nationalist posi-
tions.
Asked whether there was effec-
tive cooperation between Nation
alists and the United States 7th
Fleet, assigned to safeguard For
mosa from Red invasion, the
spokesman replied: That's a
military secret"
He limited that if invasion de-
velops Nationalist air and naval
support would not be- given Que
moy without Washington's ap-
proval.
Discounts F0rmOsa as Target.
The spokesman expressed doubt
that a reported large concentra-
ton Of Communist craft in the
vicinity of Quemoy would pass the
island for a direct attack on For
mosa.
"It looks as If Quemoy is going
to be their target" he said.
The Nationalist garrison on Que
moy is commanded by Gen. Hu
Lien, rated one of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek'S most able COM
manders. He inflicted a smashing
defeat on the Reds last winter
when they attempted to conquer
the island.

The Michigan Senator, carrying
on the Republican attack against

grounds:
/. That it failed to go into the
Alger Hiss case.
2. That it contended four COM

declared:

This he used to back up his
arguments that the 80th Congress
did look into State Department
Communists and found number
of them.
Together with the previously
secret memorandum, Senator
