Asked To See Draft.
Judge Moore's deposition then
quoted Mr.. Watson as saying Mr.,
Slack had wanted to have the
draft of such a report submitted
to him before it was presented to
the grand jury"
Judge Moore said he was told by
Mr.. Watson the report was read
by telephone to Mr.. Slack and that
"Mr. Slack expressed his satisfac-
ton with it and said it was Just
what he wanted: that it was short,
and definite and to the point and
should bring the whole thing to a
close"
Mr.. Slack insisted today that
"the idea of a partial report was
not mine. and that had nothing
to do with its drafting or its con-
tents"
He conceded that the report had
been read to him by telephone
before it was submitted to the
grand jury. but he asserted:
l. That he did not ask Mr.. Wat
son to read him the report and
did not know he was going to
do so.
2. That he did not state at that
time that the report was exactly
what I wanted"
3. That he did not even have
knowledge of what might have
gone into such a report and did
not report it's existence to his
|superiors at the Justice Depart
|ment.
Jurymen in His Office.
In other sections of the deposi-
ton, Judge Moore:
/. Quoted Mr.. Watson as saying
members of the grand jury were
in his Office at the time the report
was read by telephone to Mr.
Slack. This was before the report
was presented to and approved by
the jury.
2. Said he never had expressed
to Mr.. Watson that he approved O.
the idea of submitting a "partia
report" He added that he nevel
before had heard Of such a grant
jury procedure.
3. Said Mr.. Slack had told Judg,
Moore soon after his arrival in st
Louis during early March that HI
was "in full sympathy with wha'
I was trying to do in regard to thu
tax satuation."
4. Said he never got reply from
a request he made by telephone
to then Attorney General j. How.
ard McGrath as to whether tht
Justice Department would assist il
the probe. Last fall, Mr.. McGratf
at first said he had no recollection
of this conversation, but apologizet
to Judge Moore when an Office

down hundreds of applications for
its nine Officer Candidate Schools.
For while it will be turning down
at least 500 a month.
1t has cut the monthly quota

month to about 525. The cut
came because many reserve Off

for additional officers. How long
the lower quota will continue is
unknown. but probably through to
next July l.
| Don't let the cut stop you from

Accused Court Clerk
Gets Suspended Sentence

BALTIMORE. Nov. 20.-Wilford
L. Carter, clerk of Baltimore's
Criminal Court, resigned yester-
day and was given a years sus-
pended sentence for irregularities
in the handling of bail bonds.
Carter entered a plea of no con-
test when he was arraigned on one
set of malfeasance charges brought
Iagainst him.
His resignation and the imposi-
tion of a suspended sentence ap-
Iparently was the final act in a
running battle with political over
tones that has been going on for
several years.
Carter is a protege of j. H.
(Jack) Pollack, most powerful of
the bosses who make up the Demo-
cratic Party organization in Balti-
more.
He was elected clerk of the
Criminal Court in 1916 and won
reelection in 1850 despite efforts
of Baltimore's Supreme Bench to
ease him out.
Yesterday he came before Judge
Herman M. Moser, accused Of &C
cepting bail money Illegally from
professional bondsmen. Carter
had been on trial on the charge
earlier when the case was sud-
denly thrown out of court because
a juror reported some one called
him on the telephone to put in a
good word for Carter.

The system for selection on
these qualifications is based on
your total score on each of the
three. You're given a score for
the extent of your formal educa-
ton. If you're college graduate,
you'll get a better score than a
high school grad. You're also
given score on how you do on
the officer candidate and mental

This score will be sent on to the

chosen to attend. If there's an
opening you'll be notified imme-
'diately.
List Is Retained.
If you're an enlisted man you'll
stay at your present post until

OCS. If you're a civilian, you'll
be assigned to basic training as a

If you're not accepted immedi-
ately, your name may be kept on
the list for three months for re-
consideration. If you're not ac-
cepted then, your name will be
dropped. You may apply again
in six months.
Enlisted men entering OCS will
continue to serve their current
enlistment unless the unserved
portion is less than the % weeks
required for the course. Civilians
accepted for OCS must sign up for

NEW YORK. Feb. 2. = Despite
O vigorous shakeout at midweek,
the stock market closed today only
a short distance below the level OF
q week ago.
The whole performance over the
six days was taken by the bulls
as an encouraging show of inter-
nal strength. but many bears had
some contrary interpretations to
offer.
Today the market made its best
gain Of the week with the Associ-
ated Press average of 60 stocks up
so cents at $101.50. Today's level
represents a net loss for the week
Of only 20 cents.
Steels in Spotlight.
During the week the market
acted in an orthodox manner but
with some unusual emphasis on
individual issues. Steels were in
the spotlight because Of the divi-
dend meetings of United States
Steel and Bethlehem Steel at
which annual reports were given.
Both companies made and sold
more steel than ever before in
their history. But their earnings
declined. Big Steel's 1851 profit
was off around Is per cent while
Bethlehem's was down around IA
per cent.
The answer was not only higher
costs but higher Federal taxes.
United States Steel's tax bill was
up 10 per cent. Bethlehem put
aside around IS per cent more for
taxes.
Dividends Unchanged.
That underlined again the high
cost to industry of waging a war !

But both steel companies paid
their usual dividend. And that

tossed monkey wrench into the
machinery today only hours before
the Western powers were to sign
a peace contract with Germany
and tie it into a Western defense
force to resist Communism.
The French Cabinet directed For
eign Minister Robert Schuman not
to sign either the peace contract
or the European army treaty until
French conditions have been
agreed to. These conditions, not
made public officially. were under
stood to include:
l. A stronger guarantee against
Germany pulling out of the Eu-
ropean Defense Community (EDC)
at some future date.
2. A revision of financial ar
rangements between the Allies and
the West German government.
3. A promise that the special
French problems outside Europe
mainly in Indochinabe given con-
sideration pronto by the United
States and Britain.
4. A promise by Britain and the
United States not to interfere by
demanding a more liberal French
Tunisia and Morocco.
S. Continued Allied controls on
German industrial production.

Big Three foreign ministers here

and the edo treaty in Paris Tues
day.
After hours of trying to compose
their differences, the Big Three

earlier had had to be postponed
because of the argument. Their
own first meeting had been delayed
while Schuman got his instructions
