Murphy disciplined them because
they were active against gambling
racketeers. The captain denied the
statements, but the testimony
touched off a separate investiga-

on the case is expected soon. Mean
while, Chief Murray has transferred
Capt. Murphy from command of the
ninth precinct to the police COM
munications and records Office at
headquarters.
Perjury Chorse
1t. Joseph w. Shimon is among
the policemen facing police trial
board action. His case, however, did
not develop from the Nicely subcom-
mittee hearings. This officer, cur
rently assigned to the second pre-
cinct, is charged with lying to
another Senate committee two years
ago during a overlapping investiga-
ton. He also is accused of violating
police regulations.
The crime investigation conducted
last year by the Kefauver-O'C 'Conor
committee led to the conviction of
Police Sergt. Robert G.. Kirby for
gambling conspiracy in the Nelson
numbers case. He was sentenced to
serve from one to three years in
prison, but is appealing. Convicted
and sentenced with him was former
Detective James E. Lowry. He also
appealed.

Churchill Is Expected
Ito Revive Issue Of
NAT0 Sea Commander
By John A. Giles

British Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, who has roared his dis
approval of the projected designa-
ton Of an American admiral to
head the combined Atlantic sea
command. is expected to revive
the subject during his talks here
A top official said today this
country's position is that, while
the commander should not neces-
sarily be an American, neverthe-
less the IL North Atlantic Treaty
nations already have agreed that
a United States Navy flag officer
be named.
The agreement by the IL NATC
countries that an American be
designated was concurred by the
Attlee government. which Mr.
Churchill unseated.
Secretary of Defense Lovett has
said that "our position is that
the decision was made and thai
we're ready to appoint a com.
mander at any time" He added
that the British, at the Rome
NATO meeting in November, asked
that "in view of the recent change
of government" the matter be de.
tferred until the February meeting
in Lisbon. =.
i But Mr.. Churchill now is ex.
pected to iron out the matter here
The transatlantic squabble be
gan last summer when Admira
William M. Fechteler, now Chic
of Naval Operations and then At.
lantic Fleet commander, was nom.
mated to head the NATO Atlantic
sea forces as well.

appointment would be an affront
to Britain's naval prowess and the
Royal Navy,
Admiral Fechteler himself, since
succeeding the late Admiral For
rest P. Sherman as operations
chief. has said that the Western
naval defenses are operating under
"a decided handicap" because nc
agreement has been reached on the
supreme commander. But he also
has said that the commander need
not necessarily be an American.
The United States has not
abandoned the concept of estab.
fishing a North Atlantic regiona

its ultimate realization, I found
in Litvinoff the very day he
emerged from obscurity in Lon
don following the Bolshevist
revolution in Russia. Almost i'm
mediately his notion that a new
day had dawned received its first
setback. Named to represent his
new government in England,
the British refused to recognize
him or anybody else in that role.
A little later he met the same
rebuff from our own Govern
ment.
Yet before many years had
passed his sincerity and his
ability were to be appreciated.
1t was he who came nearest to
making of the League or Ma
tions, to which his country had
been begrudgingly admitted, the
instrument of collective security
it was designed to be. Defeated
in his effort to persuade the free
Western countries to stand up
against the madness of Ger
many, Italy and Japan and so
to stop the Second World War
before it could begin, he spent
much of the rest of his life try
ing to turn the tide of cynicism
in his own country, a tide that
still threatens to engulf the
world. -

Ting and intimidation. MIR:
Churchill remembers only too
well that since 1887 he had
warned his countrymen and the
rest of the world against de-
scribing Hitler's threats as mere
"rantings of a megalomaniac." ,"
Hitler told a world which
wanted to be deaf to all bad
news exactly what he was going
to do. and few in the West ever
believed him. The same thing
is true about Stain and his
spokesmen. There seems to be
no doubt in the mind of profess
sional soldiers that Russia in
tends to extend the hot war this
year to Southeast Asia, prin-
cipally Indo- China, Malaga and
Burma and possibly also take
over bloodlessly the state of
Nepal on the India -Tibetan
border.
The theme adopted not only
by the propagandists of the
Kremlin, but also by responsible
Soviet. Chinese and Viet-Nam
officials is that the last vestiges
of colonialism in Asia must be
destroyed. This means placing
under the Soviet boot the whole
of Southeast Asia with all its
enormous natural resources.

Two Brave, Bewi|dered Men
Parallel in Lives Of Great Statesman and Great Artist
They Sough to Promote Universal Good Will

Two brave, bewildered little
men died during the week:
Maxim Litvinoff, a great states
man: 10 Davidson, a great
artist. I had the privilege of
knowing them, the statesman,
as a reporter: the artist, as an
intimate friend; both during
more than a third of a century.
They were not little men
physically, though both being
short of stature they seemed so
at first meeting; they were
stocky and strong of body. They
were not little in any sense,
measured against other men.
They were little only as meas
ured against the weight of the
world with which they spent
their lives contending.
OF their bravery and their
bewilderment there could be no
question: neither ever ceased to
struggle and neither ever ceased
to be perplexed by the necessity
to struggle. For, as fortnight
as the artist was and as subtle
as the statesman, the thing for
which they struggled seemed so
simple and desirable that the
need for the everlasting effort
was almost beyond their under
standing. What they wanted
was to see the world become a
place in which good will would
be the dominant force. That
achieved, all other problems
would fall before mems intel
ligence and courage.

Won't Upset TrunnonIs Routine
Churchill Due to Discuss Political and Military Motters
Economic and Financial Topics to Be Touched on Lightly

Prime Minister Churchill is
expected to discuss principally
political and military matters
with President Truman. Topics
dealing with economic and
financial conditions of Great
Britain will be hardly touched
on.
Mr.. Truman's routine will not
be upset by any lengthy and
continuous conversations far
into the night" with the bril-
liant British statesman, as was
the case in the days of the
late President Roosevelt. Mr..
Churchill does not like to stick
to any definite agenda in his
informal conversations. But, ac-
cording to those who are IA
miliar with the British Prime
Minister'S plans, he will spend
most of his time giving Mr..
Truman the military picture of
Europe and Asia as he sees it.
Unless Mr.. Churchill has
changed in the last 10 years,
his views are likely to be at
variance with those of Mr.. Tru-
mans personal advisers. The
British Premier is expected to
explain in detail Britain's stand
on the Western European army.
He Is expected to explain the
reasons why Great Britain pre-
fers at this time to Cooperate"
rather than to merge" her
armed forces with those of
Europe.
From reports already available
1t appears that Britain feels that
she still has such far-flung re-
sponSibilities that she could not
afford to merge her land forces
with those of Western Europe
where actual rearmament is
still in blueprint form.

Delaney Split Fees,
Witness Testifies
By the Associnfad Press

BOSTON, Jan. 5.-Daniel
Friedman of New York, who iden-
titled himself as an insurance
salesman and financial adviser
testified yesterday he split $40, ,OOC
in fees" with Denis w. Delaney
depoSed Massachusetts, collector
of internal revenue.
At the conclusion of yesterdays
testimony, the trial of Delaney
charged with accepting $12,50O tc
influence tax cases and with false
ly certifying that $180,00O in tax
liens had been paid-was ad-
journed until next Tuesday.
Friedman, a prosecution wit
ness. testified about $4,000 "fee'
he said came from Morris and
Harry Boorky, brothers, of the
Massachusetts, Steel Treating Co..
Worcester, which was having tax
difficulties.
Friedman said he divided the fee
with Delaney. who then told him
the Boorky Corp. owed approxi-
mately 100000 in tax liability.
The New Yorker testified De-
laney then told him that it might
be possible to reduce this liability
land therefore it would be pos
sible to get an additional fee from
them"
The possibility of about $4,000
reduction in the Boorky case was
mentioned by Delaney, who
didn't say how" Friedman told
the court. It was in this connec.
ton that the Is per cent figure
was mentioned, Friedman said.

have received little cooperation
in the Korean war from the ma
tions threatened by Communism
in Asia. This lack of co-opera-
ton was felt more in the politi-
cal than the military aspects Of
the Korean conflict where Allied
unity was painfully lacking.
The British and French have
been fighting SINGLE handed for
nearly five years in Malaga and
Indo-C China. 1T Is true that in
the last IL months the United
States has assumed certain re-
sponSibilities in Indo- China
where we sent some 5000 million
worth Of badly needed military
equipment. But the French
forces seem tired out and it is
anybody's guess whether they
will be able to stand an on
slaught by the native Red guer-
rillas strongly supported by Chi
nese regulars.
Mr.. Churchill is expected to
develop the theory that since it
is evident that Russia's main
drive in 1852 is likely to occur
in the Far East. the questions
of Korea, Indo-C China, Burma
and Malaga have become inter-
locked and must be handled by
the Allies as a whole. This
strategic necessity has caused
rumorS that he wishes to revive
that wartime strategic body
known as the Combined Chiefs
of Staff.
What Mr.. Churchill is said
to have in mind is the organiza-
ton of a military unit IN WASH
ington to deal with the problems
of Southeast Asia. but not with
the Allied problems in Europe
where they are being handled
by SHAPE. The still uncon-
f1rmed reports from England
that Field Marshal Lord Mont
gomery will soon be relieved of
his duties as deputy to Gen.
Eisenhower and be given COIN
mand of the British forces in
the Far East mas some sub
stance in the light of the pres
ent situation in that area. MIR.

to place the defense of Asia on
a more cohesive and practical
basis than exists at present.
