Maj. Barrett Asks Trial U. 5. Prepares 10 Free
For Shimon, but Wants Many Workers From
West 10 Draft Charges Freeze on Wages
Commissioners Agree
To New Request for Aid
Of Corporation Counsel

The Shimon wire-tapping case
bounced back to the District
Building again today, but this
time with a definite recommended
ton from Police Chief Robert j.
Barrett that 1t. Joseph w. Shimon
face trial board.
The Commissioners agreed to a
Barrett recommendation that the
corporation counsel "advise as to
the proper charges to be pre-
ferrec' against 1t. Shimon.
They held in allegiance Mai.
Barrett'S other recommendation
in which he stated:
I recommend charges against
1t. Shimon before special police
trial board to be composed of
citizens of the District of Columbia
who are not connected with the
Police Department in any way"
Sent Back to Barrett.
When Corporation Counsel Ver-
non West was asked later if the
Commissioners action means
charges definitely will be placed
against the police officer who has
admitted wire-tapping, he replied:
"If there are no proper charges,
then, of course. it is up to us to
say So"
The Shimon case has been 60
ing back and forth between the
District Building and police head
quarters since the Senate District
Committee recommended that 1t.
Shimon be tried before a Trial
Board.
Last week Maj. Barrett recon-
mended that the corporation
counsel be directed to draft
charges against 1t. Shimon. The
Commissioners sent the case back
to him and told him they wanted
his recommendations on whether
charges should be preferred and
if so, the nature of the charges.
"Well Aware" of Code.
Today Maj. Barrett coupled his
recommendation that the cor
poration counsel advise on the
charges with a suggestion that a
police official familiar with the
case be designated to work with
the corporation counsel regarding
the charges.
Maj. Barrett wrote the Commits
sioners that he was well aware"
that the District code required
that the charges be prepared in
the name of the police Superin-

Navy Has Way to Store Bone
7 Years for Surgical Crafts

Bethesda. Md. The team was
headed by Capt. F. P. Kreuz.
They said six human patients
have been bone-grafted with this
new type of preserved bone and
"they have apparently healed in a
normal manner"
In another report DR.. Murray
Copeland of Washington said that
radioactive materials of the
atomic age are ''far from replac-
ing" radium and X-ray on any
large scale in the treatment of
cancer and allied diseases.
The Georgetown University
Medical School doctor said that
certain radioisotopes are being
employed to supplement land. oc-
casionally, to replace X-rays and
radium" in the treatment of such
ailments.
And he added that widespread
studies are underway designed to
investigate further possibilities
along this line with other isotopes,
but he declared:
There are relatively few arti-
fetal radioisotopes out of a total
Of $50 which have practical appli-
cation in the medical (treatment)
field at the present time"
He pointed out, however, that
a number of these atomic sub
stances are proving of value in
the diagnosis of various diseases.

Ching Calls for Patience"
While working out policies in
tended to ease the freeze imposed
on all wages and salaries, Chair
man Cyrus S. Ching of the Wage
Sterilization Board called on the
public to have patience"
He said that much more prog
ress could be made by his nine
member board if they are left free
of inquiries. The first mails after
the freeze brought hundreds of
inquiries from wage earners want
ing to know whether their wage
was frozen.
Most OF the inquiries came from
Federal, State and municipal
workers of all types. The expected
policy statement will free their
pay from the freeze. There are
about 4 million persons in those
categories.
Another policy statement the
board will issue was one that will

mated one-year limit for bone
preserved by a previous method
involving storage in a deep

The new technique entails only
a "quick-freeze," followed up by
drying in vacuum-and then
storage in sterile containers at
room temperature.
Navy doctors said the technique
simplifled storage and transporta-
ton problems and meant better
actual preservation of certain
easily damaged constituents of
the bone.
The new method was described

Railroad Switchmen
Report Sick Again in
and Detroit
Union Worms WoIkouts
May Hit Other Centers,
Including Washington
BY The Associated Press

Railroad sWitchmen reported
sick today on at least six rail-
roads in the Chicago and Detroit
areas, hampering movement of
vital freight.
A spokesman for the Army,
which is running the railroads,
said freight traffic in the Chicago
area is definitely hampered" and
that "the situation is building up
rapidly"
A union spokesman said the
wildcat strikes probably would
spread soon to at least four other
rail centers-Washington. Pitts
burgh. Atlanta and Portland. Greg
Men Are "Restive."
Temperate men are doing in
temperate things" the spokesman
said, pointing out that union mem
bers are "restive" and extremely
dissatisfied because of delay in
settling their wage-hour differ
ences with the railroads. Mem
bers of the Trainmen's Union and
three other big operating rail
brotherhoods have not had a pay
increase in over two years.
w. P. Kennedy, head of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, sent kilograms to union
Offices in Chicago and Detroit urg-
ing local officers to do all in their
power to persuade the men to get
back to work.
National and local leaders of
the trainmen faced contempt of
court proceedings under injunc-
tions which have been in force
since the pre-Christmas strikes.
The Justice Department said to-
day it is watching the situa-
ton"
The "sick" calls appeared to
follow the pattern of last Decem-
ber's work stoppage when about
10000 yard workers staged what
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men officials termed a wildcat
strike at key terminals.
The spokesman, who refused
use of his name, said about 80 per
cent of the switchmen failed to
report at the Santa Fe Railroad
in Chicago, and about 80 per cent
at the Belt Railway Co. of Chi
cago, also known as the Timer
Belt" line.
The small Chicago & Illinois
Western Railroad was 100 per cent
affected, he said.

Soviet Bloc Unable
To Delay u. n. Vote
On Korea Aggression
Political Committee Due
To Cite Communist Chino
In Action Later Today
BY The Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 30.-The
Soviet bloc tried unsuccessful,y
today to delay for "a hours a
United Nations vote on the United
States demand that Communist
China be indicted as an aggressor
in Korea.
Russia, Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia appealed for an adjourn
ment of the U. N. Political Com
mittee on the ground that they
had received no instructions on
amendments to the American
proposal and to an Arab-Asian
resolution calling for a seven
power conference on Far Eastern
problems.
The committee turned down the
adjournment proposal by a vote
of 80 against, 10 in favor and IL
abstentions.
The committee then went ahead
with its debate, which was ex-
pected to lead to a vote some
time during the day. At lease two
thirds of the so nations were ex-
pected to vote for the United
States proposal
Informed quarters said Britain
had received instructions to sup
port the United States proposal,
together with two Lebanese
amendments, and to abstain on
the Arab-Asian proposal.
U. s. Puts Pressure.
The United States put all the
pressure at its command, includ-
ing a statement by President Tru-
man and resolutions by the House
and Senate, into the drive to
label the Peiping regime an ag-
gressor.
Chief opposition came from the
Soviet bloc, which maintains that
the United States is the aggresso1
against Korea and China, and
from India, which fears a SHARP
word to the Chinese Reds may sci
off World War III.
India sparked drive to push
through a resolution calling fol
another peace appeal to Peiping
The Chinese Communists have al
ready rejected three previous such
offers.
Sir Bengal N. Rau, chief Indiar
delegate, said yesterday that re.
fusal to pass his resolution, co.
sponsored by IL Arab-Asian ma.
tions, would close the door to 9
peaceful solution.
Other diplomats asked how il
was possible to close a door or
some one who never had admitted
it was open.

Urges
.18-Year Draft,
But Not 0ver26
PIun Must Include
UNIT or 1t Will Fail,
He Tells Hearing
By George Beveridqe

Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey today urged Congress
to draft 18-year- -olds, but strongly
opposed new Congressional sug-
gestions that men above the age
of 26 be considered under the
draft law.
Testifying before the House
Armed Services Committee, Gen.
Hershey said he sees no future
prospects except all-out war, an
indefinite period of stress, or a
combination of the two. To meet
any of these situations, he said
draft expansion will be ''incom-
plete" unless it provides for both
universal training and service.
In other developments:
l. The Pentagon's lack of an
adequate reserve program devel-
oped today as a serious threat to
the House Committees considera-
ton of the universal draft plan.
Chairman Vinson demanded that
such a plan be brought to Capitol
Hill no later than March /.
2. Mr.. Vinson said he was very
disturbed" by Gen. Hershey's or
der yesterday to postpone induc-
tions OF February college graduates
in order that they can find essen
tial' jobs in industry.
Dependency Problem Stressed.
Gen. Hershey's testimony be-
fore the Senate Preparedness Sub
committee last week had a no.
tlceable effect in supporting some
OF the Pentagon's draft expansion
proposals. He is not expected to
discuss most of the controversial
points with the House group un-
til tomorrow.
Arguing against proposals that
men rs and 81 years old be draft
ed, Gen. Hershey said the number
OF men in that age group who
could be inducted under present
standards would be "too small to
be OF practical value" In addi-
ton, he said, problems of depend
ency, essential jobs and physical
fitness would be greatly multiplied.
AS clincher to the argument
Tor taking 18-year- -olds, the draft
chief pointed out that with the
present induction age of 10 they
face service in a few months any,
way. He added:
VI
For other groups it is a ques-
ton of whether or not they shall
be taken. For the 18-year-olds it
is rather a question of when they
will be taken"
Mrs. Rosenberg Criticized.
Earlier, committee members took
Assistant Defense Secretary Anna
M. Rosenberg sharply to task for
falling to have ready plans for an
expanded Reserve and National
Guard force. Under the new pro-
posal, 18-year-olds would be
routed into these forces for sew
eral years after active duty service.
The serious question raised by
committee members was whether
they could adequately support the
universal draft plan without
knowing into what kind of a pro-
gram they would be sending
youths.
Its going to slow down our
thinking" Chairman Vinson de-
clared. This bill is certainly tied
in with the reserve program.
Are they going into the same
kind of a reserve we have today
Just having their names written
on a blackboard and taking the
number one man on the list?"
Promises Are Repeated.
Mrs. Rosenberg repeated prom
lses to have a "revitalized" pro-
gram ready within six months.
She said plans call for policies of
the program to be settled by April
