Diplomats in Vienna
Believe Groesz Trial
| Z.
/ Bf $500
Shows Rising Unrest
BY the Associated Press

! VIENNA, June %. Western
diplomats in Vienna believe in
creasing public unrest in Commu-
mist Hungary is one reason for
the present trial of Archbishop
JOSEF GroesZ.
The unrest repeatedly has grown
out OF dwindling city food sup
plies, deportations of thousands
of unreliable" persons from the
cities. and an apparent purge
going on within the Communist
Party itself.
! The main aim Of the trial OBJ
viously is to wipe out what little
is left OF the once powerful op-
position of the Catholic Church
to the Communist government
But Western sources say the tim
ing OF the trial is remarkable.
Strong Reaction Seen.
The Westerners say the trial &c
bound to produce a strong reac-
tion from Hungary's predom-
inantly Catholic peasantry. Sab
Iotage of the harvest may result
The government had been bend
ing all efforts to get a good har-
vest.
But since the Communists are
willing to risk peasant opposition
the WesternerS believe the deci-
sion to hold the trial must have
oeen motivated by factors even
more dangerous to the existence
OF the Communist regime.
what these are is not known
accurately. But fairly reliable re-
ports from hungary allege that:
". Large reinforcements of
armed police have been called to
Budapest. Thousands of people are
SAID to be In state of tension"
as police continue to drive from
their homes middle class and up-
per class families in the same
manner the Nazis deported the
Jews.
Meat Rations Halved.
90. Only one half of the small
rations OF meat. fat and potatoes
nave been available In recent
weeks. Black market prices are
to have reached astro-
nomical figures.
90. Budapest, is closed citv
Permit to leave or enter it must
be obtained in advance. Police
patrol all roads to the capital.
90. The purge within the party
mas stretched over all ranks of
the government and the leader
snip. The party has called for
more vigilance to seek out partyI
members "hetrayine the cause"

In the trial of Archbishop

that country has resorted once
more to its favorite but well-worn
device of persecution by prosecu-
ton.
There are the familiar charges

pllcate the American legation in
Budapest and the customary con-
fessions' which the Hungarian
secret police have had ample op-

clear the pattern of Communist

Those who live in freedom and

the current trial in Hungary for
exactly what 1t is--a continuation
OF communist efforts to suppress

 MEAT ORDER

ys5GHINCTONs May 9 - IR = The Senate Agriculture committee said today the governments new price control order on beef will cause "a severe meat famine leading to early rationing."
 The committee adopted resolu- ton calling for repeal of the order without delay"
 The resolution deals with regu- lation issued by the OPS last Sat urday. Effective May 9, it imposes price ceiling on beef sold at whole sale, the committee said.
 The resolution says the order al- ready has resulted in livestock producers rushing their cattle to market before they are finished to their best marketable weights"
 Such premature marketing will result in a loss of meat for con- sumers," the resolution declares, and the (cattle) feeders who produce much of the meat supply will suf- fer severe losses"
 The committee also said govern ment announcement of further roll backs in beef will have the effect of continued early marketing of meat animals"

WASHINGTON, May = lR - Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnson assured businessmen today the gov ernment will hold the dam against "a new imitation flood" anticipated by Christmas when arms produc- tion reaches full tide.

 In a speech to theU. s. Chamber of Commerce at it's 39th annual meeting, Johnson promised to write wage price ceilings off the books the minute I feel controls are nc longer necessary" He predicted that this day is about two years off.
 The ESA administrator urged his audience of industrialists not to let down until the job is done. we can't talk turkey to Communism with feather duster," he said.

Harbor
 Improvement
 Is Proposed

PORTLAND, May 2 -IR-- The ,orps of Engineers has recommend ed further improvement of Alaska's Juneau and Douglas harbors for navigation as result of field in vestigations and public hearings Ill the two cities in June, l946.
 Brig. Gen. o. E. Walsh, North Pacific division engineer, said the recommendation has been submitted for review to the Board of Engl- neers for Rivers and Harbors, Wash ington, D. c.
 The proposal calls for modifica- tion of the existing project for Jun eau and Douglas to include dredg- ing small boat basin more than 20 acres in size at Douglas IA feet deep at low water.
 Engineers estimated construction cost at $368,68 plus $3000 annual maintenance. This is an addition of maintenance costs of the existing project.
 Local interests would have to fur nish lands, easements and rights of-way, construct moorage facilities, utilities and a public landing, alter sewer, water supply, drainage and other facilities and maintain the causeway to Juneau Island and the rockfill approach to the Douglaf wharf.
 Interested persons may present their views to the Board of Engi- neers for Rivers and Harbors, Room 305. .19 D street, N. E., Washington 25, D. C., either by mail or in per son, General Walsh said, before May 25.

 WASHINGTON.-There has been a significant and sincere difference of opinion regarding full and open hearings for the MacArthur testi- mony beginning tomorrow.
 Sen. Dick Russell of Georgia has been anxious not to have anything come out of the hearings that would in any way give aid and comfort to the enemy. Everyone else agrees with him on this.
 Not in agreement, however, are all the military men in the Pent- agon. Some of them feel that such a hearing would start an extreme ly bad precedent in making pubic military mistakes of the past. This feeling is not shared by all. Gen. Omar Bradley for instance, has be- ieved in putting the cards on the table no matter whose errors 1t shows up, including his own.
 However, it has been tradition al policy among the military for 100 years or so never to make pub lie the battle errors of war. For instance, the files on the mistakes of World War I never have been open to Congress or the public, nor of the Spanish-American war, nor even the Civil War. This is because it is definite military poll

DOUGLAS PEAK NAMED FOR LATE
 GOVERNOR TROY

Juneau and the channel area now has a mountain peak to com memorate the memory of John w Troy, former Governor of Alaska and newspaperman.
 Word was received by E. l.. kel- thahn, secretary of the Advisory Committee on names, from Mere dith F. Burrill, executive secretary of the Board of Geographic Names, in Washington, D. O., that Mount Troy had been approved as the name for the high peak in the ridge on Douglas Island that bounds the ski trail on the west.
 Dr. I. J. Montgomery, president of the Shank, Ship and Shutter Club, and Keithahn, said that plans are being made to have an official christening of the peak about the middle of June, A group from the hiking club will ascend the peak and erect cairn and as the chris tening ceremony is carried out Mrs. Ali N. Monsen, daughter of the late Governor Troy. will fly over the peak and drop wreath of flowers.
 John Troy was born on a farm at Dungeness, Washington Terri tory, and was the son of Smith and Laura Weir Troy and descendant of old American families which settled in Maryland and Pennsyl- vania in the early seventeenth century.
 As a young boy Troy went to Port Townsend to live with an uncle, Allan. Weir, who was pub- fisher Of The Argus. Here, at Q very early age, he received his first taste of newspaper work as "prin- ter's devil in his uncles shop. He attended Port Townsend schools and the Academy of Puget Sound and then returned to his uncles paper as reporter.

 HEARINGS IN PRIVATE
Senate Committees Are 10 Work Behind Closed
 Doors-Hot Row

WASHINGTON, May 2 = tR - The 25 senators on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations com mittees have decided they won't let any other Congress members sit in tomorrow on their closed door ques- tioning of Gen. Douglas Macarthur about his differences with President Truman.
 The decision, disclosel today, ap- peared certain to add more heat to the whole controversy boiling on Capitol Hill over the firing of Mac Arthur from his Far Eastern com mands.
 Even before it became known, House Republican Leader Martin CMass), protesting against closed door hearings by the Senate com mittees, demanded that similar House groups conduct public air. ing of the matter.
 Objections Raised
 MdI tlll uldQc puDiS d iCooCi eo Chairman Vinson D-Ga) of the House Armed Services committee and Chairman Kee )D-WVa) of the House Foreign Affairs committee ill which he said:
 These are no primary times, and this is no ordinary inquiry"
 Some Republicans are arguing that too much secrecy in the for eign policy field has led to mis- takes.
 Senator Knowland (R-Calif) con- tended that if the public and Con- gress had known the contents of the Wedemeyer report on Korea they might have prevented many Com munists advances in Asia.
 "Top Secret Exposed
 This report, prepared by It. Gen, Albert c. Wedemeyer in 1947, warn ed that "Soviet-inspired' North Koreans might invade South Korea Kept previously under 'top secret label, the report was given out yes terday by Chairman Russell (D-Ga) of the Senate Armed Services com mittee as a preliminary to the Mac Arthur hearings.
 Backers of MacArthur's views on Far Eastern policy promptly claim ed it proved administration policy in Korea and China was wrong.
 The Armed Services committee with 13 members, and the Foreign Relations committee, with l2, are to question MacArthur tomorrow as the first witness in a general ln- quiry into Far Eastern policy. Nor mally, the Foreign Relations com mittee also has 13 members bu' there is vacancy due to the deatf of Senator Arthur Vandenberg.
