Gov. McKeldin yesterday pre-
dicted the solid South" will be
shattered by the Republican Party
in the 1852 presidential election.
The G. o. P. will swing several
electoral votes in Dixie. he said
In a statement issued at a meeting
of the Prince Georges County

These votes may constitute the
balance of power for a Republi-
can victory" he asserted.

Sees Upheavals in Offing.
IT have made frequent recent
visits into various sections of the
South" Gov. McKeldin said in
the statement. The signs of
rebellion against an outmoded
voting habit are prominent. The
crevices are there. The upheavals
are in the offing."
He said the Republican party
erred in the days following the
Civil War when it permitted
bands of adventures to invade
the conquered States of the Con-
federacy to exploit the sections
resources. to enrich themselves
and to hamper southern progress" ;"
But the day of the carpetbagger
has long since passed the
sectional demagogue no longer
participates in the deliberations of
Republicanisms," he declared.
To-day the Republican party is
the party of opposition to all of
those practices of government and
political exploitation which are
'abhorrent to, southern thinking, -
he said.
Southern Dignity Cited.
He pictured the South today as
a "bulwark of State sovereignty
as opposed to top-heavy, Cver-
centralized government in Wash
ington." The southerner of today,
he said, is an individualist who
believes in dignity and the right
'of his fellow citizen to individual
dignity"
He also attacked President Tru-
man for predicting earlier this
week that lies and smears would
be used against the administration
in the next campaign.
Mr.. Truman knows that. with
all the available campaign ma
terial in the record, the Republi-
cans would be wasting their time
by turning to lies. The truth will
serve better-much BETTER" he
said.

Allies Stand REDEEMED.
In Munsan, the U. N. command
released a statement redefining
the Allied position on a buffer
zone. 1t was a summary of points
raised by Vice Admiral C. Turner
Joy, chief of the main five-mem-
ber U. N. armistice delegation, al
one of the fulldress truce talks.
Admiral Joy rejected the Rec
demand for a military dividing
line along Parallel 38-the ole
political boundary-and added:
international law specifically
defines an armistice as a tenn
porary suspension of hostilities,
and just as specifically points out
that hostilitieS may be resumed
by either side if proper prior noti-
flcation is given.
Thus it can be seen that il
would definitely be foolhardy, and
perhaps disastrous, for either
commander to expose his forces
along political demarcation line
rather than to place them in a
sound militarily defensible posi-
ton where they can protect them
selves in the unfortunate event
hostilities should be resumed"

By John A. Giles

The military law which has
hamStrung the Army in its ef-
forts to prosecute two former
servicemen for the alleged Staying
of their commander is as old as
the country itself and was based
on the fear that the military would
WELD too much control over the
civilian population.
The Army's Articles Of War pro-
vided that court-martial authority
should not extend beyond dis
charge from the service in cases
of this nature. and Felix Larkin,
Defense Department general coun-
sci. estimated yesterday that per-
haps hundreds" of ex-servicemen
have escaped punishment because
of it.
With this in mind, and with
1949 Supreme Court ruling in
the Hirschberg case and the near
release of one of the defendants
in the Hesse crown jewels theft
case to back them up, the Defense
Department plugged this loophole
when it drew up the Uniform
Code of Military Justice which re-
placed the separate Army and
Navy codes.
However, the law could not be
made retroactive and so the only
chance of prosecution of former
1t. Aide Icardi and ex-Sergt. Carl
G.. LoDolce in the strange death
of Maj. William v. Hollohan on a
behind -the-lines OSS mission in
Italy must be left to Italian courts.
Civil courts in the United States
have no power in the case since
the alleged loak-and-dagger mur-
der was not committed within their
jurisdiction.
The no prosecution after dis
charge rule, which did not apply
TO cases involving fraud against
the Government. has seldom been
challenged by the military services.
One exception was in the case
OF Chief Quartermaster Harold E.
Hirschberg. The Supreme Court
interpreted the law so strictly that
there was no question about what
was meant. During the term Of his
first enlistment, Chief Hirschberg
became japanese prisoner of war,
Later he was returned to this
country, hospitalized and dis
charged.
One day elapsed between the
expiration of his first enlistment
and the date of his re-enliStment.
1t was not until his service dur
ing his re-enlistment that he was
charged with maltreating fellow
prisoners during his first enlist
ment. A court-martial convicted
him of maltreating a person sub
ject to his orders.
He petitioned for a writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that
he had been honorably discharged
after the alleged crime and that
the Navy therefore was without
jurisdiction. The Supreme Court
sustained that view.

theft of SIS million worth of

again. I made a full report of the
matter to the proper authorities
There was no poisoning and
no fatal game of cards to decide
whether Lo Dolce or should kill
Holohan. There was no plot OF

There also was no 100000 in

when it reached Italy. We re-
ceived no more money until after
HolohaR's disappearance. He had
a few thousand dollars on him
when he vanished-I do not know
exactly how much"
Icardi asserted he made enemies
il Italy because the Americans
were working with four conflicting
groups. known as the Partisans
they were composed of Socialists
Communists; the Action Party, q
progressive middle class organi-
cation; and the Christian Demo
Gratis. Catholic party.
1--WE tried to work impartially
with all of them but they were
very jealous of one another" ex-
planned Icardi. II made enemies
when some groups thought others
were favored"
Denies FavOring Communists.
Icardi fatty denied charges he
worked more closely with Commu-
nists than other groups.
In fact" he said, "the Christian
Democrats gave me parchment
in appreciation of my service to
their group"
The presentation, he said, was
made in June, 1945, at Busto
Arsizio, a city of 10000, near
Milans where the Americans had
their headquarters.
And" he added, "they made
me an honorary citizen of Busto
ArSizio."
In December. f945, Icardi stated,
he also was given Italy's second
highest military award, the Silver
Medal for military valor, by Prince
Umberto of Italy. The citation
was for courage lin the clandes-
tine fight in a cause of ma
tional liberation"
The medal carries a pension
with it.
= But I never got the pension, "

|0SS Changed Mi|Iior
Into Gold for Use in
Areas

A large portion of the $135
million in unvouchered funds
spent by the wartime Office o1
Strategic Services was converted
into gold to finance operations
behind enemy lines in Europe.
Former OSS men, commenting
on the murder in German-oc-
cupied Italy of Mai. William v
Holohan Of New York, said GOLD
was used by teams parachuteo
into the Balkans and Greece, as
well as missions into Northern
Italy.
The Defense Department said
Maj. Holohan had about 100000
in gold, United states currency
and Swiss francs when he and
two other Americans went into
German-held areas to make con-
tact with Italian partisans.
Representative Blatnik, Demo-
crat, Of Minnesota, a paratroope1
who served with OSS at Marshal
Tito's partisan headquarters in
Yugoslavia, said that gold was
used by OSS for operations in
Romania, Yugoslavia. Greece
Albania and other countries as
well as Italy.
Useful for Escape Purposes.
"We had little use for gold in
Yugoslavia except for escape pur-
IpoSes," Mr.. Blatnik said. IF we
got into trouble. we could bribe
local occupation authorities. There
was sufficient gold available tc
buy out the whole city govern
ment, all officials who might be
useful in effecting an escape"
| It was learned that the Holohan
mission followed an earlier opera
ton in which an entire OSS team
was murdered by German officials
The German officer who ordered
the Slayings, Gen. Anton Dostler,
was tried Immediately after the
war as a criminal and executed.
Another former OSS officer,
who asked not to be identified,
recalled scheme to use a large
amount of gold to "buy" the entire
Romanian air force. What hap
pened to the gold the ex-officer
couldn't say.
Gold Used in North Africa.
The United States Army also
used gold coins in small way in
the Mediterranean area.
A Washington correspondent
recalled that in North Africa
troops were given gold coins to
turn over to Arabs, should the
latter help in extricating the GIs
from the enemy.
II don't think much of that
coinage got into Arab hands," the
newsnan said. "As I remember
there were quite a few gold coins
that found their way into crap
games during occasional lulls on
the front"

Prosecutor Say, Italy
Will Try 7 Americans
For HoIohan Staying
By the Asseeiated Pres,

ROME, Aug. ia provincial
prosecutor decided today an Ital-
ian court will try two former
American soldiers-either in per-
son or in absentia-for the be-
indebtedness Staying of United
States Maj. William v. Holohar
in 1914.
Aroldo Borghese. general prose
cutor of the Turin district
changed an earlier decision and
said he would ask for extraditior
of former 1t. Aldo Icardi oi
Preakness, N. j.. and former Sergt
Carl G. Lodolce of Rochester, N
Y, after further investigations.
THE two Americans, If they
are not turned over to the italian
magistracy," Mr.. Borghese said
will be tried in absentia."
A trial in absentia is largely fol
the record. A person convicted in
such a trial is subject to punish
ment only if he comes to Italy.
Imprisonment Top Penalty.
In any case, Imprisonment is
the top penalty. Italy abolished
capital punishment for ordinary
crimes in 1914 and for political
crimes in 1948.
Both Icardi and Lodolce have
denied charges of the United
States Defense Department that
they got rid of Maj. Holohan, their
leader on an OSS arms-dropping
mission in partisan territory of
North Italy behind the German
lines, with the help of two Italian
partisans.
Mai. Holohan was poisoned, shot
and dumped into the icy waters of
Lake Orta. The department said
Lodolce fired the fatal shots in
a plot motivated, in part at least,
by Maj. Holohan's reservations
about arming Communist bands
among the guerrilla fighters.
Both military and civil courts
of the United States lack juriSdic-
tion because of legal quirks: Cd
Icardi and Lodolce have been dis
charged honorably from military
service, co the killing occurred
on foreign soil.
But the United States seems to
be leaving the way open for Italy
if she wishes to bring them to
trial. as she is doing with the
two Italians. Former partisans
Giuseppe Mannini and Gualtiero
Tozzini will go on trial soon for
murder. Police say they confessed
and implicated the Americans.
They have been in jail nearly a
year.
1868 Treaty Cited.
Italian fears that the Americans
could not be extradited under
existing agreements appeared
clarified by opinions of the legal
section of the United States En-
baSSy in Rome. Sources there
cited the United States-Italian
extradition treaty of 1868, which
includes murder as one of the
crimes for which extradition may
be sought by either country.
A month ago Mr.. Borghese re-
jected an application from the
Verbania prosecutor, Antonio Mo-
rando, for authority to ask extra
dition. At that time BorgheSe was
quoted as saying Italian-American
agreements did not permit such
extradition.
This was before the Defense
Department made its statement
on the case in Washington last
Wednesday and before the United
States Embassy here commented
on the international legal aspects. |
The general prosecutor said in
an interview today the extradition
request is being delayed only
because further investigation is
needed to present a stronger case
to American authorities.
President Truman would have
to sign the orders before the two
Americans could be sent to Italy.
