LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE crack

her broadside and drove her back
to the quay.
The port side of the ships bridge
jammed in between two high dock
side cranes. denting the bridge
work and scraping paint off the

The liner quickly worked loose
and tugs resumed trying to get

New York Perjury Trial Shifted
Here in Unprecedented Move
Federal Judge Authorizes Change in FIorio
Case Due to Crime Commission Publicity

Edward j. Florio, head of an
AFL longshoremen's union local
and reputed "overlord of the East
River docks, will be tried on per-
jury charges here because of an
unusual and perhaps unprece-
dented change of venue from Fed
eral Court in New York.
The transfer to the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District
of Columbia was granted yes
terday in New York by Federal
Judge Irving r. Kaufmn. The
judge will come here tomorrow to
try the case.
He authorized the change on the
ground that Florio, a convicted
bootlegger and president of New
Jersey local of the International
Longshoremen's Association, could
not get a fair trial in New York.
The judge cited adverse publicity
resulting from New York Crime
Commission hearings" Florio has
been charged on two counts of
lying to a Federal grand jury.

Tito Breaks Off
With Vatican
Over Stepiinac
Anger at Clerical
Critics May Cancel
His Visit to Britain
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia, Dec.
17.-Premier Marshal Titos gov
ernment broke diplomatic rela-
tions with the Vatican today as a
folloWup to the naming of Arch
bishop Alojzijc Stepinac to the
College of Cardinals.
Ales Bebler. deputy foreign
minister, informed a Vatican
diplomat, Msgr. Silvio di Oddi, of
the action. Msgr. Di Oddi said he
had no comment. He has been
serving as charge d'affaires here
in the absence of the American
Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley, the
Vatican minister to Belgrade.
Marshal Tito, in a speech
yesterday to workers in a factory
near Belgrade, accused the
Vatican of hostile activity against
Yugoslavia. Tito also threatened
to call off a projected visit to
London because of British charges
of religious persecution here.
The furor was touched off by
British newspaper reports quoting
DR.. Godfrey Fisher. Archbishop
of Canterbury, as saying that
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden should urge Tito to ease up
on religious persecution when the
Yugoslav leader visits Britain next
March.
Tito. speaking before a crowd
of about $4,000 in a small factory
town last night, said that the
charges of religious persecution
were inspired by the Vatican. He
declared he would not go to Brit
ain unless at least half the
British people want him to come.
Il am not going to England to
make concessions, he declared.
There will be no discussion of
our internal affairs"
Vikenrije Prodanov, patriarch
of the Serbian Orthodox Church,
added his warning against foreign
interference in letters today to
two Belgrade newspapers. Borba
and Politika.
The Yugoslav people are free
to worship where they please. he
wrote, and "our friends abroad
can help us best by leaving us in
peace and leaving us to settle
ourselves our relations with the
church."
Tito again attacked Pope Plus
KITS elevation of Archbishop
Stepinac and declared that the
prelate would never be permitted
to serve even as an archbishop in
Yugoslavia.
Archbishop Stepinac was con-
ditionally released from prison
about a year ago after serving
five years of a 16-year sentence
on a charge of collaborating with
the Germans during World War
II. He is not permitted to leave
the small parish in which he
now lives.

Czech Premier Admit,
State Of Rebellion,
BIames Shortages
Production of Goods
For Russiu Puts Heavy
Strain on Satellite
By the Associufed Press

VIENNA, Dec. 17.-CZechoslo-
vakia's Communist premier ad-
mitted today there are "discon-
tent and rebellion" in the nation,
and indicated the Red regime has
not yet been able to bring popu-
lar defiance under control.
This startling admission was
published in Rude Pravo, official
Czechoslovak Communist newspa-
per. Premier Antonin Zapotocky
was quoted as blaming the rebel
lion on shortages of food and coal.
The Communist president, Kle-
ment Gottwald. previously admit
ted that the production of milk,
eggs and farm good in Czechoslo-
vakia has fallen lower than it was
in 1947. before the Communists
seized power.
Strained by Russian Demands.
The admissions lent weight to
Western reports that the Soviet
Unions industrial demands on
Czechoslovakia have been severely
milking the nation and producing
chaotic conditions. The produc-
ton of heavy industry goods for
Russia has cost the satellite coun-
try terrifically, pushing down its
former high standard of living
There have been reports of open
hunger demonstrations" in def
ance of Communist police.
zapotocky's admission came in
an address to miners in Kladno.
He said:
People complain among other
things that they cannot buy coal
for the winter and that their food
rations are insufficient. We can
not provide for the people with
coal that is required for our indus
trial plan and the plants lack
hundreds of thousands of tons of
coal.
Among the people there is dis
content and rebellion, but against
this rebellion there is no help. 1t
can only be eliminated by fulfil
ment of the plan.
Replacement of Profit.
People say that although we
have done away with capitalist
profit, we have replaced it with
profits for the state through the
expeditation of human labor and
that there is no difference"
The premier complained that
Czechoslovaks "go to work, but
they do not work, and they oppose
the new Soviet working methods" "
The Kladno mine. where he
spoke, employed 1882 workers in
1949 but only 1852 today because
Iof absenteeism and other causes,
the Premier said. adding that
although production had risen 49
per cent over 1949, wages had to
be raised 104 per cent.
when our people run into diff
Iculties," he said, they ask if we
have not exaggerated our plans
and whether the plans can be full
filled. They can be, if we apply
Yourselves"
! The recent purge trial of Rudolf
Slansky and other top Communists
who went to the gallows was a re-
Election of this economic difficulty
for which the Gottwald govern
ment apparently had to find scape-
goats.

City Detective
Tells Of Bribe Offer
In Pier Racket Probe
Union Member Asked
Police to Lay off,
Commission Is Told
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. ia Jersey
City detective told the New York
State Crime Commission today
that he rejected a bribe offered
by a member of the AFL Inter-
national Longshoremen's Associa-
ton to clay off the boys" on the
Jersey City water front.
Detective John Waldron said
the bribe was offered him in No.
vember, 1851, by a man named
Johnnie Alu. The bribe-starting
with $4,000 for three Jersey City
|detectives-was intended to put
10 policemen on a stevedoring
firms payroll, Mr.. Waldron testi-
fled.
MIR. Waldron took the witness
stand as the crime commission's
probe of racketeering in the
worlds largest port kept it's spot
light focused on Jersey City for
the second day.
Mr.. Waldron identified Alu as a
member of Local 824 of the lila
Alu made the offer to three detec-
tives when the police were hunt
ing clues to a bombing on the Jer-
sey City waterfront in March,
1851, Mr.. Waldron said. The
bombing injured five union off,
lcials, including Barney (Cockeye)
Brown, whose name has figured
prominently in the commission
hearings.
Mr.. Waldron said he and two
other detectives came to Man
haitian restaurant in response to
a tip. There they met Alu. Mr.
Waldron said that when he asked
him what he had on his mind. Alu
replied he would "do no business
unless you lay off the boys"
Immediately after Mr.. Waldron
left the stand Alu was summoned
A squat, balding man. he de-
clined on constitutional grounds tc
admit having met the three Jersey
City detectives in a Manhattan
restaurant.
Refuses to Answer.
Commission Counsel Theodore
Kiendl called the three detectives
to the front of the courtroom and
asked Alu if he ever had seer
them.
Again Alu refused to answer on
grounds that to do so might in
criminate him.
Asked whether it was true that
he had tried to bribe them in order
to pad the payroll of the Dade
Brothers Stevedoring firm, he
again took refuge in constitutional
privilege.
Before Mr.. Waldron left the
stand he quoted Alu as saying
There's 10 G's in it'-$10,000-
and that there would be some

and others said that so far as they
knew this is the first instance of
such change of venue from one
Federal circuit to another. There
may have been a few transfers
in other parts of the country
years ago but there is no record
of change from New York to
the District, they said.
Authorized in 1916 Rule.
Such changes were specifically
authorized in Federal judicial
Iprocedural revision in 1946. The
Florio case is the first of its kind
made under that revision. There
have been other venue changes
from one district to another
within the same judicial circuit.
Federal judges from other cir
cults as we'll as districts frequently
preside at trials in Washington.
Judge Kaufman said he will try
the Florio case since no other
judge is available in court here
because of the heavy case load.
The chief judge of the New York
district must approve of Judge
Kaufman coming here. Then,
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws must
agree. Finally, Chief Justice Vim
son has to place his stamp of
approval on the proposal.
Will Cause No Inconvenience.
Clerk of the Court Harry M.
Hull. however, said trial would
cause no inconvenience here. He
pointed out the new court house
has 81 courts of which only Is
are being used.
In addition, he said, two visiting
judges will be soon sitting to help
the District handle its heavy case
load. The Washington Federal
Court is the largest in the Nation.
Because of the setup here. the
District of Columbia is separate
Federal judicial district. Several
states are included in most of the
other districts.
While the District will get the
Florio case, a similar problem on
a change of trial site is being con-
sidered by Judge Burnita Shelton
Matthews.
She has been asked by Attorneys
Myron Ehrlich and Joseph Sitnick
to transfer elsewhere the case of
two suspended policemen. 1t. H.
H. Carper and Sergt. William
Taylor. both charged with bribery
conspiracy.
Trial Continued Indefinitely.
Carper and Taylor, formerly top
men on the narcotics squad. have
been accused of accepting $4,000
in bribes from dope peddlers..
Like counsel for Florio, lawyers
for the policemen contend that it
is impossible for them to get a
fair trial here. They argued that
widespread publicity for the bet
ter part of a year has prejudiced
the minds of prospective jurors.
Judge Matthews announced
Monday. the day set for trial, that
she had not made a decision on
the motion for change of venue
for Carper and Taylor.
This had the effect of contin-
uing the trial indefinitely, since
motions must be heard before
trial can begin.

Thousands Protected
In Non-Civi| Service
Jobs, 6. 0. P. Told
Commissions Circulars
Tell Congress Members
About Workers Rights
By Joseph Young

The Civil Service Commission
has sent gentle reminder to Re-
publicans in Congress that even
many Government employees in
non-civil service positions have
some job protection rights. it was
learned today.
Each member of Congress has
been sent by the commission a
copy Of a departmental circular
distributed to all Federal agencies
which details the rights of these
employees.
There are about 10000 EN-
'ployes in excepted" or non-civil
jobs. However, about 10000 of
them are in agencies such as FBI
and the Tennessee Valley Author
ity which have their own merit
systems and are not considered in
any danger of replacement.
Accompanied by Letter.
Accompanying the departmental
circular was a letter to each mem
ber of Congress signed by Chair
man Robert RamSpeck Of the
Civil Service Commission in which
Mr.. Ramspeck reminded them
there is great public interest" in
excepted Federal jobs and he
thought they would like to know
the facts.
Although the letter and circular
were sent both Democrats and Re-
publicans, there was no doubt the
letter was aimed at the Repub-
licans.
The circular points out that all
veterans in excepted jobs that
were not made by Presidential
appointment have full appeal
rights in dismissals. The depart
ment or agency must prove that
a veterans dismissal is "for the
good of the service"
Policy or Confidential Job.
The circular also points out that
only in cases where the jobs are
of policy or confidential nature
can the employees in these posi-
tions be ousted summarily.
Employees in other excepted jobs,
If they have any sort of competi-
tive civil service status. can be
dismissed only on charges that it
is for the good of the service, the
circular pointed out.
