The Army won't be caught
short on medals for its heroes.
It has literally millions of them
stored in a Philadelphia ware
house. ranging from the Congress
sional Medal of Honor to World
War II Victory Medals and
awards that are the counterparts
of the three "theater ribbons" of
the last war.
It estimated today that a total
|of 6,406 pounds of metal is tied
up in the awards, which occupy
1920 square feet Of floor space.
It figured the storage costs ST.
400 annually.
The medals are basically bronze
The composition varies but 1t is
made up mostly of copper and
zinc. Some have enamel on the
face and the Silver Star Medal
carries tiny silver star.
The buyers appear to have been
somewhat bullish in the World
War II Victory Medal field, over
estimating the demand to a large
extent. A spokesman said there
is no time limit on when a vet
eran must apply for the award
and officials felt it necessary to
carry huge stocks to meet all de-
mands as required by law.
At any rate, the Army is sit

Because of the Armistice Day

Since the drive still lacks about

to continue for some days yet,

Special Burmese Court

By the Assoeioted Press

RANGOON, Burma, Nov. H.
A special Burmese court acquitted
Burma Surgeon" DR.. Gordon S.
ISeagrave today of aiding rebel
leader, and set aside his convic-
ton by high court.
An earlier appeal court already
had freed him from Jail by COM
Imuting his sentence to the seven
months he served while awaiting
trial. DR.. Seagrave sought re-
versal of the treason conviction
so that he could return to his
hospital work among the tribes
men of North Burma.
The three-man court cleared
the 53-year-old Seagrave of all
three charges which had been
placed against him for befriend-
ing rebel Kachin hill tribesmen in
1949.
The court held that by giving
rebel leader Nav Seng a box OF
medical instruments, DR.. Seagrave
had erred but that "the criminal
intent necessary to constitute an
offense was lacking"
DR.. Seagrave was arrested ir
August, 1850, and convicted or
two of the three charges by a
special tribunal which sentenced
him to terms of six years and one
year, to run concurrently.
Last February a special bench
of the high court acquitted him OF
one conviction and the six-year
sentence it carried but upheld the
conviction on the third charge.

levied on relatives in Red China.
"No direct demand for blood
money is made" Mr.. Lee said.
"but word is sent out through rela-
tives or Intermediates. usually in

Then the Communists wait for
the money to come in.
when it comes they ask for

cial questionnaire.
He made the statement in an.
sWer to a query from The Star as
to whether the names Of police
answering some but not all of the
|1,75O questions would be sent to
the Commissioners along with
those who refuse to answer at all.
There have been indications
that some of the questionnaires
are being returned incomplete to
the subcommittee.
Firing Urged as Penalty.
IF police refuse to answer the
important relevant questions,
Senator Nicely said, "and it proves
impossible to compel them to
answer, in my. opinion they should
be dismissed from the force. OF
course. that is a matter for the
District Commissioners and not
for me to determine.
Asked what he meant by ''im-
portant relevant questions" Sena-
tor Nicely said he was referring to
Questions showing the amount of
a policeman's personal wealth."
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue, asked about the attitude of
the Commissioners toward partial
answers, said the Commissioners
order directs the policemen to
answer all questions.
He added. however, that police
cannot be penalized for not an
swering questions where they lack
the information. He suggested
that on questions involving 1945
grocery bills and similar cost of
living items, police give an ap-
Proclamation.
Rule of Reason Suggested.
Policemen. he said, should "fol-
low the rule of reason" Where
they lack receipts for five-year-old
expenses, they should make a fair
estimate.
They have to answer to the

As Trip to U. S. in

by the Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. IA qualified
British government Official today
pictured Prime Minister Churchill
Ias willing to go to Russia alone
to see Generalissimo Stain If
President Truman rejects the idea
OF a Big Three meeting on world
tensions.
The official indicated the ques-
tion of the desirability of a Big
Three meeting would be high on
the agenda of the Washington
meeting. Mr.. Churchill talked
over with his cabinet today his
projected visit to the United
States, on which he will be ac-
|companied by Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden. the official said.
Whole Range of Subjects.
In addition, the President and
the Prime Minister are likely to-
go over the whole range of Anglo
American political, economic and
military relations. including a full
United States-British partnership
in the atomic energy field. They
are expected to talk over Ameri-
can military and economic aid to
prop UP Britain's safety and SOL
vency.
An official announcement later
said that besides Mr.. Eden, Pay
master General Lord Cherwell, in
charge of Britain's atomic energy
program. and Lord Ismay, the
commonwealth relations secretary,
would accompany Mr.. Churchill.
1t said Mr.. Churchill expects to-
leave lin the first days of jan
uary."
Mr. Churchill pledged during
the British election campaign
that he would do all in his
power to el.d the cold war. He
committed himself to try to see
Stain with the goal of bringing
about a live-and-let-live arrange
Iment between Moscow and the
West.
Truman Trip to Britain Urged.
A Southampton newspaper sug-
gested today that the President
should come over here and see for
himself how Britain is tackling
the rearmament job.
The Southern Daily Echo said:
1.-THE Premier will have no Diff
ficulty in proving to his host that
Britain is making heavy sacrifices
for the common cause. But what
a splendid thing it would be i'll
he were equally successful in per-
suading Mr.. Truman to accom-
pany him back to our shores so
that he might see for himself.
Nothing would give the British
people greater pleasure than an
official invitation to the American
President on these lines"

Senator Edwin C. johnson,
Democrat. of Colorado said today
the United States ought to aban-
don any atomic bases it has in
England.
The Coloradan, a member of
the Senate-House Atomic Energy
Committee. declared there is mo
excuse for making the British
people target" for an enemy at
tack.
Senator johnson told a reporter
that in any event no consideration
should be given to such bases in
any study of whether this country
should extend additional financial
help to Great Britain.
Prime Minister Winston Church.
ill suggested last Friday that the
United States give the fullest
consideration" to Britain's need
for further dollar aid for her re-
armament program and her limp
ing economy. A London source
said request for about $500 mil
lion in new aid would be made.
Mr.. Churchill presumably will
press his request when he comes
to Washington in January to con-
fer with President Truman.
Mr.. Churchill said his nation has
every need and right to seek and
receive" American help because
I'VE took peculiar risks in provid-
ing the principal atomic base for
the United States" in East Eng
land. The Prime Minister added
that as result Britain had placed
itself lin the very forefront of

have to be considered strictly on
it's own merits-divorced entirely
from the matter Of atomic bases" /"
Over the weekend, Senator Nc
Kellar, Democrat, of Tennessee also
took a dim view Of more United
States dollar aid to Britain.
Regarding aid in return for
atomic bases in England, Senator
McKellar declared:
"Mr. Churchill seems to forget
that the bases he mentioned are
as much-or more-for the pro-
lection of Great Britain as they
are for the protection of the
United States"
AS a member of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee, Sena-
tor johnson presumably is we'll
briefed on United States atomic
base strategy.
Mr.. Churchill's reference to East
England as a principal American
base was to the more than 10000
American men at air bases in
England. The United States, how
ever, never has disclosed whether
it has any atomic bombs stored
overseas.
Sen. johnson said:
I'VE ought not to be using
England as an atomic base. If
we are doing so. as Mr.. Churchill
says. it should be discontinued at
once.
There are many much better
atomic bases than England where
the risk is not as great"
Sen. johnson mentioned Ice

examples. This country has bases
in Iceland and North Africa, and
has been negotiating with Turkey.
