Contempt
Continued From First Page.)

The Fitzpatrick and Raley cases
hinged on whether they had prop
erly asserted their privilege. under
the fifth constitutional amend
ment. against giving testimony
which might possibly lead to their
i. own determination. Judge Morris
rejected the charge of Assistant
United States Attorney Charles B.
Murray that the defendants had
failed to do so.
Noting that the two witnesses
! had been called to testify. in q
setting in which they had been
denounced as Communists by
earlier witnesses, as a result of
which the defendants claimed
their answers might be self-in-
eliminating, Judge Morris ruled
that they were entitled to their
refusal under the fifth amend
ment.
Judge Morris said:
Certainly there should be no
barrier to information which the
Congress needs in the public in
terest; but. certainly this informa-
ton should not be had at the ex-
pense of the American tradition
that no one should be prosecuted
for a crime upon confessions CO.

$4,000 Grant Given
For New Research
In Stomach Cancer

A research program which may
lead to an improved method of
diagnosing early stomach cancer
will be supported by a $40. 600
grant from the National Cancer
Institute, DR.. Leonard A. Scheele,
surgeon general Of the Public
Health Service. announced today. !.
The work is being carried on by
two scientists at the University Of
California, who have developed a
technique for testing for cancer of
the stomach similar to that now
used to check for cancer of the
womb.
BY the new technique, cell speci-
mems can be collected from the
walls Of the stomach for micro
scopic examination. The speci-
linens are drawn by a syringe, after
the stomach walls have been
washed with a solution of papain,
which dissolves mucus coating the
stomach.
Previously, cancerous tissues
have been trapped by the mucus,
and the few which escaped were
soon destroyed by powerful diges-
tive juices. Thus, adequate cell
specimens were difficult to obtain.
DR.. John r. Heller, director of
the Cancer Institute, said the
cystologic examination Of stomach
cells for cancer is still in an early
exploratory stage, and the tech
nique may be considerably modi-
fed by the investigators before
adoption as a standard diagnostic
method"
However, it was said, the re-
searchers. Drs. Herbert F. TrautI
and Milton Rosenthal. have ex-I
amined 235 patients with various
gastric symptoms and found III
positive for cancer. The findings
in II cases were confirmed by
surgery. and three await conflrma-
ton. The cystologic examinations
require surgical exploration if the
specimen reveals characteristic
malignant cells.

yet been handed down.
Case on Debt Is Strong.>
The Belgian case for collection
from Greece is strong, having been
sustained by the Hague Court be-
fore World War II.
But Greece, which owes IL coun-
tries, is being kept alive only by
infusions Of American aid totaling
So billion. The American authori-
ties feel that Belgium, which is
enjoying American aid in several
forms, and is far better of than
Greece, thanks to its colonial hold
ings, should not exploit its chance
to clean up its own Greek debts
at American expense. While So
cobel's 25-year-old claim may be
legitimate, it appears no more so
than old claims of many United
States firms against Greece.
There is a possibility that the
Belgian move has been made in
order to escape carrying out the
railroad contract at the figure
lagreed last year.. The 81 million
worth of Marshall Plan rails would
cost the American taxpayer $40
million at current steel rates. The
Belgians. it is said, actually desire
to lift the cost of the aid to market
prices.
Before the EPU opened the way
for the Belgian raid. Belgium did
a tremendously profitable, though
one sided ECA business with
Greece under the intra- European
payments agreement. In two
years the Belgians sold Greece

Other Issues Face Fight.
The Senate already has passed
la draft bill-also paving the way
for UNIT at such time as youths
no longer need be drafted for ac-
tual service. The Senate measure
however. reduces the induction
age to 18 and extends draft serv-
ice to "a months. instead of the
I26 provided in the House bill.
In addition to the UNIT fight
these issues also were likely to pre-
|cipitate major battles during the
next few weeks in the House:
/. Whether to tie TO the draft
bill a provision requiring oongres-
sionaI approval for the assignment
of further American troops to the
Atlantic pact army.

trary move would be short

Iof directly to business applicants.
Repeating an earlier charge
THAT politics is being played in the
drive to defeat the reorganization
plan, Senator Fulbright declared: !:
There are those who want to
keep RFC in a state of suspended
animation until November, 1852,
as horrible example of DEM
ocratic ineptitude."
Regarded as Inadequate"
Chairman Mcclellan of the Ex-
lpenditures Committee, commented
that he still believes the Presi-
dents proposal is inadequate"
but that he might vote for it
simply because of the. present
demoralized condition of RFC."
Senator Fulbright's subcommit-
tee, scheduled to meet tomorrow
to chart further activities. was
notified late yesterday that Sena-
tor Murray, Democrat, of Mon
tana. has withdrawn a request for
la public hearing.
He previously had asked to be
heard in connection with testi-
mony Of earlier witnesses that he
urged RFC action on a Miami
Beach, Fla, hotel application. The
Senator's son, James Murray, re-
Iceived a $21. 900 lawyers fee for
representing the applicant.
Senator Murray wrote to the
subcommittee that the only addi-
Itional information he could give
"would be in the way of an analy-
sis of the facts" He has declared
that there was nothing wrong in
the transaction.
Study of Ethical Condition.
At the same time, the Montana
Senator. as chairman of the La
bor and Public Welfare Commit
tee, set up a subcommittee to
study a resolution introduced last
week by Senator Fulbright. That
resolution proposes creation of a
10-member commission of citi-
zens, appointed by the Speaker
and the Senate President, to ex-
anime the ethical condition of the
Federal Government, including
Congress.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, OF
Illinois. a member of the subcom-
mittee investigating RFC, will
head the Labor subcommittee.
Other members appointed by Sen
ator Murray were Senators Neely,
Democrat, Of West Virginia: Hum
phrey, Democrat, of Minnesota:
Morse, Republican. of Oregon, and
Smith, Republican, of New Jersey.
Senator Douglas said he would
start hearings soon.
The Fulbright subcommittee, at
Its meeting tomorrow, expects to
decide whether to recall former
Representative Joseph E. Casey,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,. Last
week he challenged authority Of
that subcommittee to ask ques-
|tions about a surplus shop deal in
volvirfg the old Maritime Commits
sion and a company he headed.

Committee today received a pre-
|liminary report from Senate in
vestigators who have looked into
the matter.

A total of BIT college students.

boards. are expected to be eligible
to seek deferment under the lib
eral new plan approved by Presi-
dent Truman.
At this moment. all BIT poten-
TALLY are liable for induction
when their school terms end in

being drawn up-are expected to
give each Of them the chance to
continue education.
The new plan makes students

given throughout the country in

OF the 877 students. a survey of
District boards showed today:
/. Seven hundred twenty-eight
ARE listed in Glass II-A-oecupa-
|tional deferment. These defer

lat which time boards can recon-
slider each case.
2. One hundred forty-nine in
class LAP already have been Or
dered for induction, but their
dates Of induction. under law, are
held UP until their school year
ends. Under normal conditions
this would mean that these mel
could go into uniform as soon as
their classes recess for the sum-
mer.
However. draft boards expect
to get word to hold off induction
action in order for the. men to
qualify under the new plan. AS
a further safeguard, under ex-
isting policy, students already can
request 30-day induction post
ponement after school ends If
they state they want to enlist in
a service of their choice instead
OF being drafted into the Army.
Tests Start in May.
Frank d. Norton, District deputy
draft chief. said that the BIT count
by no means represents the total
number of draft age college stu
dents in Washington. But it does
include those Immediately draft
liable through District boards.
Some students, for example, he
said. are classified through draf:
boards in other places. In addi-
ton. some are 4-F, some are de-
ferred by virtue of their depend
ants and large number are World
War II veterans-exempt by law
Washington students will be
able to take the new aptitude tests
in May and June at George

Meanwhile, draft officials re-
leased the locations of 1000 Gen.
ters throughout the country which
will offer tests to college students
next May and June. The tests
along with scholastic standards
maintained by the students-will
form the basis Of student defer
