 Europe Army Dian

PARIS, Dec. 18-tR- Britain an- nounced she welcomes the Euro pean army plan and would associ- ate herself as closely as possible with the European defense commu- nifty at all stages of its political and military development" But Britain still was not committed to direct participation of her troops in a European army.
 This was disclosed in a commit ique issued after British Prime Minister Churchill concluded hiS- toric talks here with French leaders, and at Supreme Headquarters with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, North Atlantic Alliance Commander.
 The British promised to set up permanent delegation at the seat of the high authority" envisioned for giving effect to the Schuman Steel-Coal Pool Plan, the commun- ique said.
 According to the cCmmunlque, this was as far as Britain would go with regard to the European army.
 "The British forces under the di- rection of the Supreme Allied Con- mander in Europe will be linked to the forces of the European defense community for training, supply and operation by land, sea and air.
 They will remain side by side in the spirit of true comradeship." This did not commit Britain to pooling her troops with the Euro pean. army force planned by the six founder nations, France, Italy, West Germany. Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Steel Strike Peace Talks Scheduled

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-sR-Tht government today summoned tor steel industry and union leaders to Washington for peace talks aim- ed at avoiding a New Years strike
 CIO President Philip Murray and representative of the ten largest steel firms were called to govern ment-guided bargaining sessions be ginning Thursday.
 Murray has threatened an in dustry-wide walk-out in steel perhaps including, also, substan- tial part of the aluminium indus try-unless his contract demands are met. Only 12 days remain un- til the strike deadIine at midnight, Dec. 31. We will not work with out contract" the grim-faced Murray said in Pittsburgh yes terday after meeting of the un- ion policy committee.
 ilClCupOll LII CCDOI Syl uS D Ching of the Federal Mediation Service brought the government squarely into the deadlocked steel labor talks by arranging the com bined negotiations. The companies have been bargaining individually with the union for three weeks.
 The 75-year-old Ching pledged every effort toward obtaining a contract settlement without a strike at the same time cautioning the union and steel firms that:
 Any curtailment of operations in this key industry will seriously | affect cur national economy and have direct and critical impact on the defense effort"
 Besides their apprehension over the threatened interruption of the vital flow of steel, government of ficials were equally concerned that steel's economic tug-of-war may wreck the wage price control sys- tenn.
 They realize that other laboi leaders will seek to match what Murray gets, and any steel. price boosts will lift the price lid for stee, consumers. A steel industry dele gation called again today on Price Administrator Michael V. Di Sale seeking help in that field.

 Alaska Fishing Case Before High Court

J. Gerald Williams, attorney gen. eral, left today for Washington, D. C. to appear before the U. s. Sup reme Court to plead the legality of the Alaska non- resident fishermen's license case.
 The right to collect the $50 non- resident fee was held legal in U. s. District Court in Juneau before Judge George w. Folta. However, the Ninth Court of Appeals, sitting in San Francisco, reversed the Dis trict Courts decision with two judg- es affirming the reversal and Chief Judge Denman dissenting.
 Several hundred-thousands of dollars have already been collected since the law went into effect, which will have to be refunded if the high courts decision declares the act illegal.
 The attorney general and one of his assistants, John Dimond, have been preparing briefs for the hear ing for several weeks. The case is scheduled for the first week in Jan uary.
 Mrs. Williams and their two child ren will accompany the attorney general. Dimond, his wife and child left Sunday.
 It is believed that this will be the first Alaska case before the Supreme Court in some 25 years.
 Attorney General Williams ex- poets to be gone three weeks to a month. It is uncertain how long it will take for the judges decision to be handed down.

 Count Against Alaskan Upheld

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 18-R- The conviction of Lilburn H. Bar beau at Anchorage, Alaska, for man. slaughter by culpable negligence in the death of Paul Gum was upheld by the Ninth U. s. Court of Appeals here yesterday.
 The appeals court judges split two-t -to-one in upholding the convic- tion of Barbeau, who had contend ed the shooting was entirely acci- dental.
 Gum was hit February IS, 1850. by a bullet from German auto matic. It discharged while Barbeau was holding it in his lap and in- serting a clip of shells.
 A federal district court jury at Anchorage on June p. 1850. found Barbeau innocent of murder, but guilty of manslaughter.
 Chief Judge William Denman and Judge William E. Orr, in to- days decision, pointed out that the jury had determined that the safety catch on the weapon, a Walther- P-38. was not on and said this was sufficient to support Barheau's con- viction.
 In the dissenting opinion, Judge Albert Lee Stephens said there is not word of substantial evil dence in this case that the safety was not on." He added that he thought an innocent act mad been warped into crime. It is not a crime to be negligent"

l tee recessed until Thursday. Rear Adm. R. E. Libby. LIN. member of the committee, said the purpose was to study the lists.
 Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols. U, N. spokesman elaborated:
 "The Communist lists have not yet been verified. They probably include errors, omissions and pos sibly fictitious additions.
 List to be Checked
 Every effort humanly possible will be made immediately by the JUN. Command to check the list. The respective arms of services in the United States will notify the next of kin immediately on verifi- cation.
 T cannot emphasize too strongly that this is Communist list.
 Any information on prisoners received from the Communists is questionable due to their continued refusal to allow international com- mittees of the Red Cross to inspect their prisoner of war facilities and operations"
 communist List
 Of the 11,559 names on the Com- munist lists, JUN. Command com- munique reported 7,142 are South Korean. 3,l98 American, 919 British. 234 Turkish, 40 Filipino, ten French. six Australian. four South African, three Japanese. and one each from Canada, Greece and the Neither lands.
 Nuckols declined to say whether General Deans name was among them.
 Nuckols emphasized that the ex- change of names lis by no means solution to agenda item fouro dealing with actual exchange of prisoners.
 We merely have started off on the road that will lead us to a solution" he said.
 Skepticism
 He reported the LIN Command studied the Red document with sxepticism as to its details, .authen- ticity, accuracy and completeness"
 The Communist lists fell far short of previous public Allied esti- mates of perhaps 100000 or more.
 The 3,198 Americans listed as prisoners compare with approxi- mately 12,000 Americans officially listed as missing in action.
 But a reliable source in Tokyo said there probably was mo great disparity" between the official US. Army estimates of the number of prisoners the Reds hold and the number announced by the Reds. He said that probably many of those listed as missing actually died in battle.
 No progress was reported by a second truce subcommittee arguing at Panmunjom over how to enforce an armistice. It adjourned until Il am. Wednesday @ u.m., Tues- day. EST).

" ASHINGTON-A lot of people these days are asking how corrup- tion got started in the U. s. gov ernment. The answer probably goes back to three main roots.
 Root No. 1-Got started during the war years when Roosevelt con- centrated so intensely on winning the war that he paid little attention to domestic policy. Root No. 2-Got a deep hold in 1944, when Roosevelt was so anxious to be reelected that he threw con- trol of the Democratic party over to the big-city bosses. That was the year that Bob Hannegan of St. Louis, Frank Hague of Jersey City, Ed Kelly of Chicago. plus Ed Flynn
