Senators Vote 10 Repay
Military for Lost Effects
BY the Assoeiated Press

The Senate voted yesterday toI
permit the armed services to re-
imburse United States prisoners of
war and other United States mill
tary personnel or their survivors
for the loss of personal property.
The measure goes back to the
House for approval of a $4,000
limit on claims which may be
settled by the service chiefs with
out a court order.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee in a report said the bill would
close a gap in existing practice
and give World War II prisoners
of war a year in which to claim
reimbursement for personal prop
erty seized by the enemy when
they were captured.
The report said the measure also
would validate many other types
of claims for loss Of personal
property in connection with serv-
ice in the armed forces.

Probe Set Tomorrow
On Reported Sitting
OF Liquor Inquiry
By GEORGE Beveridae

House investigators tomorrow
will open week-long hearings on
whether top Justice Department
officials stifled an antitrust probe
Of large liquor producers in 1948
and 1949.
Political overtones were ex-
pected to develop during the
hearings. with witnesses including
representatives of the liquor in
dustry-big and small-as well as
Federal officials.
Representative Chef, Demo-
crat, of Kentucky, chairman of
q House subcommittee investi-
eating the law enforcement
agency. said his group has had
complaints that a department in
vestigation was "stif1ed."
Not A Liquor Probe.
However, he made clear in
statement that the hearings were
not called to determine whether
the "big four" liquor companies
were guilty of violating antitrust
laws. He added:
1.-THE issue is whether or not
the Department of Justice made q
thorough investigation of valid
complaints, or whether that in
vestigation was superficial"
He identified the big four"
diStillers as Hiram Walker, Sea-
grams, National Distillers and
Schenley.
The subcommittee already has
heard extensive testimony in closed
session from Ernest Branham. a
department antitrust lawyer.
After his testimony, Mr.. Chelf and
Representative Keating of New
York, ranking Republican member,
said the witness apparently had
been mentally horsewhipped"
after his superiors refused to fol-
low his advice regarding certain
cases.
It was understood also that 1948
campaign contributions. allegedly
made by key figures in the liquor
industry, would figure in the probe.
Also questioned in closed ses-
sions was Milton S. Kronheim,
Washington wholesale liquor
dealer. He said he had volunteered
to testify at the public hearings.
He has been questioned. he said.
about campaign contributions
made to the Democratic Party.
First Detailed Study.
These hearings will mark the
Chelf subcommittee's first de-
tailed examination of Justice De-
partment operations.
After beginning operations early
this year, the group was thrown
into a snarl by the shakeup which
ousted former Attorney General
McGrath and Newbold Morris. the
short-time corruption sleuth.
Earlier this month, the committee
held one-day hearing on the
handling of Government contract
settlement claims.
Meanwhile, the Justice Depart
1nent remained quiet on the
appointment of new Assistant At
torneys General to head the Anti
Trust and Lands Divisions. Attor-
ney General McGranery eight
days ago accepted designations
submitted by heads Of the two
units.

vote won't be delivered" The AL reso-
luton Of Endorsement. while concentrating mostly
on It's long-standing antagonism to Senator TAFT
and the fact that General Eisenhower has
welcomed the Senator's support. also directed
favorable emphasis to the Democratic platform
as against the Republican one.
Aside from Its willingness to abandon politi-
cal tradition, there Is nothing surprising, Of
course, in the preference displayed by the
AL convention. Generally speaking, both
labor leadership and its rank and file have been
inclined toward the Democratic tickets Of
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman in recent
years. The Republicans know this and have not
gone too far in attempting to WOO the organized
labor vote. Indeed, such an effort not only
would be unavailing but might well ALLEVIATE
other voting segments which do not consider
their interest mutual with organized labor The
labor Endorsement, therefore, cannot be con-
sidered an unalloyed blessing.

Polar Exploring Has Changed

When visiting the North Pole has become so

The almost casual fight to the pole last
week by Star Correspondent W. II. Shipper and
other reporters and photographers was in sharp
contrast to the ventures Of those earlier days
of polar exploration. Their plane was an Air
Force C-54, with no special equipment or per-

Just an invisible way point on the aerial pathways
across the icy wastes between the North Anneri-
can continent and Eurasia. AT present the polar
route between the continents is of special interest
to military strategists The time may come,
however, when commercial flying across the
onceSforbidding icecap Of the world will be as
routine as the military operations there. Flying

be remarkably good for much Of the year. It Is

Arms FIowQuickens

Current figures for American arms ship
ments to Europe show an encouraging upward
trend. ft
/. For the first six months Of 1852, the dollar
value more than doubled that recorded in, the
corresponding period Of last year. Quarterly
comparisons showed shipments Of 1856 million
FOR the last three months Of 1851, Of 1886 million
for the first three months this year and Of $50
million for the three months ending June 80.
There are several reasons for satisfaction
with this showing. American industry Is the
major arsenal for rebuilding the defense ma
chinery of the free nations. Bigger and relatively
more vigorous than it's European counterparts.
1t was also in position to convert more quickly
to military production. That this conversion did
not come about sooner has been due in the first
instance to calculated decision on the gov
ernmental level that time did not demand
sudden and sharp cessation Of civilian produc-
ton It appears now that this decision was not
unsound and the more gradual transition, even
though plagued by such stoppages as the steel
strike, has reached point where the salts
factory flow Of shipments noted above has been
attained.
There is great psychological as well Is
material value In this improving record. We
have taken the greatest initiative in persuading
our European partners that the Russian menace
is q genuine one and that 1t must be countered
by strong preparations for defense. To have
Jagged indefinitely In supplying substantial arms
production for this effort would have weakened
Europe's resolution as well as its capacity to
field military forces.

gram Is really rolling at . pace unlikely to
encourage thoughtless aggression. Il this Is 50,

Tough Talk on Trieste

Both in tone and in content the parallel
British and American notes to Soviet Russia on
Trieste are appropriate to the times and to the
question at issue.
The problem Of the future Of Trieste Is q
legacy Of World War II and Of protracted negotia-
tons in 1916 among the Big Four United States,
Britain, France and Russia-over terms Of the
Italian peace treaty. The Free Territory was
defined In those negotiations with an under
standing that it would come eventually under
United Nations governorship The customary
Soviet intransigence blocked agreement on the
identity of governor and 1t was further de-
cided that one portion OF the territory, Zone A,
would remain under British American mill
tary administration while the other portion,
Zone B, remained in Yugoslav jurisdiction.
Yugoslavia, Communist country, was then
associated with the Soviet Russian bloc, an az
filiation which she has since abandoned.
The agreement Of last May by which italy
was granted a hand in the civil administration
of Zone and certain political freedoms were
extended to italian residents Of the area EN-
bodies no contradiction Of the peace treaty.
When the agreement was reached between WASH
ington, London and Rome, Marshal Tito warned
that there must be no dictated settlement Of
the Trieste issue that would grant Italian desires
for full jurisdiction. He was assured that such
was not the intent Of the agreement and there
have been subsequent efforts to initiate direct
negotiations between Rome and Belgrade on
the basic problem.
The Soviet accusation that Trieste is being
built into great military base for Western ag-
gression is an echo Of a familiar charge that
every Western design is q manifestation Of war
mongering. categorical denial Of this particu-
lar falsehood was made in June, 1850.
Moscow, and all of the informed world. are
aware that the tensions and half-war present
over so much of the globe today are traceable
directly to the very attitude and conduct Of the
Soviet government ITSELF" as mentioned in the
British-American notes. It is fitting that Mos
COW should be reminded Of this fact, in the
blunt fashion just used.
