The New Year weekend holi-
day ran a bit more true to form
than did the Christmas weekend
holiday in the matter of number
of arrests made and cases brought
UP for trial on the first day of
the court following the weekend.
A total of 81 rases was listed for
trial in Judge L. E. Thomas
Muniripal Court on Thursday
morning which was opening ses-
sion for this week. Drunk, drung
and disorderly conduct and as
sault and battery led the list of
offenses in a session which was
packed with human interest from
beginning to end. Here and-there
the Judge threw the book, but in
most of the cases a liberal con-
Sideration was given the defen-
dants, with a stern warning not
to let let it happen again.
DR.. /. p. Davis and Atty. Will
liam D. Brooks, of Washington,
D. c., were guests at the session.
Highlight of the days trials was
the case of Albert Smith who was
charged with disorderly conduct
by creating a disturbance. His
step-father, James Wallace, was
the chief complainant. It was an
other family case.
Testimony by Wallace revealed
that while he was only the step
father of the youth, he reared
him just like his own son. The
father and the son apparently op-
Grated somewhat of a concession
around the city selling coconuts,
with the profits being divided be-
tween them. According to the
father, on one occasion the son
took a load of their coconutS, sold
them and refused to give the
father his share of the profits.
An argument ensued during
which time the son was very dis
respectful, and which developed
even worse when the son almost
damaged the fathers truck seri-
ously which was blocking the
path of his (the son's) car, while
the son was attempting to drive
out Of their yard.
The officers were called in to
quell the argument, but upon
their arrival, the mother of the
youth, joined the argument, TAX
ing sides with her son against the
father. So heated grew the con-
tentions that the officers arrested
the son on the complaint of the
father.
At the trial, the son denied prac-
tically everything, claiming that
he had been a good boy and that
his step-father was only taking
advantage Of him.
After weighing the testimony,

ECA Reported Ready
To Aid Europe With
Daring Economic PIar
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 26.-The
New York Times said today the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration, with the approval of Pres
ident Truman, has prepared a
master plan for revitalizing West
ern Europe.
In a dispatch from Washington,
Louis Stark describes the plan as
"a basic program of broad scope
to develop the defenses of Mar
shall-aid nations. to support their
Civilian economy and to left their
living standards"
While the detectives of the
program are not news, the ap-
lproach now formulated and the
detailed planning to carry out the
detectives are represented as
carrying the program to a new
high" Mr.. Stark said.
I The dispatch added:
TO formulate this program.
the administration has ventured
into some daring areas of eco
r1omic policy. A novel 'produc-
tlon assistance drive is contem-
plated as machinery and appara-
tus for fulfilling the organiza-
tons detectives.
Ihe program is designed not
only to improve productivity in all
the countries of the European re-
coVery program. but also to share
'equltably the results among own
.ers. labor and the consumers.
1T aims to help Europe to create
an expanding economy to replace
what in some nations is regarded
as an economy of scarcity"
The Times said 1T is understood
that the plan has been approved
by President Truman and added:
Agency officials are enthusiastic
over the economic, political and
social possibilities foreseen for the
productivity plan. They feel that
the more markets there are de-
veloped the greater will be the free
flow of International trade and
commerce.
They say that as it becomes
possible to supply the basic needs
|of the worlds population, the fac
tor of increased productivity and
higher living standard will create
economic and political stability in
countries allied with the United
States.
Thus the United States would
be relieved of the need for long
term subsidies to these nations.
At the same time, their popula-
tions would tend to remain in the
democratic bloc and become strong
enough to withstand the tempta-
ton to experiment with totali-
tartan political systems"

Jessup Predicts Soviet
Campaign 10 Attempt
TO Redeem Failures
BY the Associated Press

HAMILTON, N. Y, July 90
Ambassador at Large Philip Jes-
sup predicted today that Moscow
will press a campaign to split the
free world in an effort to ere
cover lost ground"
Soviet Russia has been faced
with a series of failures. he said,
including the rapid postwar con-
solicitation of democratic countries
to deal with Communist pressure,
threats and aggression.
/ In the United Nations, Mr..
Jessup said, the Soviets find
themselves without support not
because any one else controls a
majority of the votes but because
the Soviet proposals are absolute
ly unacceptable to free nations"
! THE response of the U. N. to
the aggression in Korea was not
only a severe blow to the plans
of the Soviet Union for the area
but registered and strengthened
the unity and determination of
the free world" Mr.. Jessup said in
a speech prepared for the Colgate
University third annual Foreign
PolicysConference.
Sees Propaganda Peril.
Faced with this situation, the
Soviet Union must be trying tc
recover lost ground. 1t is toe
much to expect that they have
yet learned that a state based
upon the murder of every local
dissident cannot indefinitely sur
vive.

propaganda is perhaps more dan
gerous than Russian physical ex-

Strong Counterattack
Planned Against Move
For Acheson Custer
By Robert K. Welsh

House Democratic leaders
planned. a strong parliamentary
counterattack today as the am
bush Acheson" move neared
Republican forces were split on
the issue of trying to GUST Secre-
tary of State Acheson by striking
his salary from the $1,051,715,115
State, Justice, Commerce and
Judiciary appropriations bill. But
most of them were set to support
an amendment to that effect.
Besides the uncertainty of get
ting enough votes from Repub-
Ilicans and perhaps Southern
Democrats, COP strategists also
might find themselves stuck on a
point of order.
Democrats disclosed they will
contend that the amendment is
out of order because it essentially
lis legislation which under the
rules cannot be put in an appro-
ipriations bill. If the presiding
officer upheld the point of order
the Republicans might try to
overrule him but might have
difficulty in getting sufficient
votes.
Amendment Rewritten.
The amendment, to be offered
by Representative Phillips, Repub-
lican of California. underwent fire.

present form it would ban pay

a period of five years proceeding

drafts eased the proposed ban ia

less the department heads nomi-
nation was submitted or resub-
mitted" for Senate confirmation
That presumably would force
President Truman to resubmit Mr..
Acheson's nomination to the Sen
ATE where confirmation might be
unusually difficult to obtain.
Voting on the Phillips amend
ment-if it gets to vote without
being knocked out on a point of
order-seemed unlikely until late
today.
! Voice" Funds Debated.
! Today's House session began
with debate on Republican
sponsored amendments to reduce
the appropriation for the Voice
OF America. The President re-
queSted Sis million, the House
Appropriations Committee trim
med it to $85 million, and an
amendment introduced by Repre-
sentative Clevenger, Republican of
Ohio, would cut it to $40 million.
Amendments adopted yesterday
but subject to possible reversal
on final roll calls on the bill
would cut more than SIS million
from the 1921 $4,000 requested
for the State Department. One
amendment would cut $2.5 million
from the $75.5 million for salaries
and expenses, and another would
trim $2.3 million from the S29. 3
million which this country would
contribute to the United Nations
and other international organi-
cations.
