MeGranery Abandons
Special Grand Juries
For Racket Probes
Declares Regular Units
Without Hollywood Names
Function Effectively
By the Associated Press

The Justice Department has
dropped the plan to have special
Federal grand juries in all parts
Of the country sit once a year to
survey local crime conditions.
Attorney General McGrannery
says it smacked of "Showmanship'
and that he believes regular grand
juries can handle things just as
well.
He has disbanded the 13-man
racket unit" which his predeces.
sor, J. Howard McGrath, set ur
last January to evaluate reports
from the special juries and keer
the program in motion.
Mr.. McGrannery made it clear
today he does not think much
OF the special grand jury idea,
originated by Mr.. McGrath and
strongly recommended by the
kefauver Crime Investigating
Committee.
Prefers Regular Juries.
Asserting that his faith lies
with the regular juries to main
tain Federal law enforcement on
a continuing basis, Mr.. McGranery
told newsmen:
"Showmanship ought not to be
any part of the administration of
justice"
AS to the racket unit" the at
torney general said:
Il don't subscribe to the name
racket unit Labels won't do the
trick. We have lots of units in
the criminal division, functioning
effectively, and not known by Hol-
lyWood Names"
In response to an inquiry, the
attorney general said his position
was the same as that of Federal
District Judge Ben Moore of
Southern West Virginia, one of
several judges who refused to re-
Spond to Mr.. McGrath's call for
special juries in each of the "a
judicial districts.
Judge Doubts Lasting Effect.
Judge Moore, noting the request,
told a regular jury panel that he
expected constant vigilance" and
commented:
"A revival-meeting type of law
enforcement may look we'll for
a time, but its effect soon wears
off.
1T is not the American way to
carry on law enforcement through
mass hysteria. or through news
paper propaganda. or through any
kind of crusade"
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, recently reiterated his
faith in the special grand jury
plan.

New Chile President
Will Scrap U. 5. Pact,
Campaign Aide Says

Of Congress Approval
As Chief Executive
BY the Assoeiatsd Prsss

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. o.
Gen. Carlos Ibanez del Campo
Iex-dictator who beat all opponents
in Thursdays presidential race
will scrap Chile's defense pact
with the United States, . cam
|paign aide predicts.
The tireless 74-year-old strong
mana close friend of Argentine
President Juan d. Peron-ap-
peared today virtually certain OF
becoming Chile's next President
although he did not win a clear
majority.
The latest count gave him 46.7
per cent of the popular vote. Two
of his three opponents for the
office acknowledged his significant
lead. making it appear a certainty
he will receive the formal bid
when the Congress gets around
to making the final choice.
Pact Has Escape Clause.
One of Gen. Ibanez's campaign
leaders, Agrarian Parliamentary
Deputy Javier Lira Merino. de-
clared last night that a govern
ment headed by Gen. Ibanez
would cancel the 3-nonth-old
pact under which Chile is to re-
ceive arms from the United States.
Mr.. Merino pointed out that the
agreement contains an escape
clause.
The Ibanez regime would re-
place a coalition government
headed by President Gabriel Con-
ZaleZ Videla.
Gen. Ibanez has been a stormy
figure in Chilean politics for al
most 80 years. Nicknamed "The
Horse" he is a former cavalry
officer who once ruled Chile with
an iron hand. He was ousted In
the depression debacle of 1881
when Chile was torn by riots and
strikes.
Bid for Women's Votes.
Gen. Ibanez, bespectacled and
mustached, conducted a whirl-
wind campaign tour before last
weeks election. making an espe-
cial appeal to women voters who
had the franchise for the first
time.
After the revolt of 1881 he lived
for a time in Buenos Aires but
returned to Chile to live in re-
tirement as a farmer. In 1912
he returned to politics as a presi-
Dental candidate but was de-
feated. He was chosen Senator
by an overwhelming majority in
the 1949 elections.

Red Charges Germ Warfare Meet
 General Disbelief
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Soviet charges that the United States is waging germ warfare in North Korea and Red China are meeting in general with disbelief outside the Iron Curtain countries, an Associated Press survey show ed Saturday.
 It is impossible to tell what effect the Soviet charges are hav- ing on the populations in the Communist countries. They get only one side of the story-the Soviet side.
 One of the chief aims of the Soviets is to sell the millions of people in southeast Asia the idea that the Western powers have no compunction against unloosing the dreaded weapons of germ warfare to further "Western im- perialism."
 The United States and Britain demanded that the International Red Cross or the World Health Organization be permitted to send experts into Communist China and North Korea and report what they found. The Communists re- piled with a scornful 'No."
 In India top level official sum- marked his governments reaction to the Soviet charges as "incred- ulous horror"
 Some followers of Mohandas Gandhi, however, are inclined to give the Chinese Reds the benefit of the doubt until an inquiry is made. Said one such disciple to western questioner:

Mobilization Chief Resigns Because Of Steel Dispute

WASHINGTON, (F) = Charles E. Wilson has quit as the na- tion's mobilization chief. He told President Truman he decided to resign because he doesn't believe in the administrations plan for settling the steel dispute.
 Wilson's resignation is effective Monday. Truman appointed John R. Steeloan, presidential assistant, as temporary director of mobiliz- ation and instructed him to do what, he can to reach a steel settlement between the CLOS United Steelworkers and the steel industry.
 ' A strike is scheduled to begin April 8.
 The sudden resignation of Will son, who once headed the Gen eral Electric Co.,, dimmed hopes of averting the steel strike and left the future of controls over wages and prices pretty much in doubt.
 Steel industry and union lead CTS resume peace talks in New York Monday and the industry found itself with no assurance of a price boost to offset the gov- ernment-recommended increase of 171s cents an hour.
 The President, in accepting Will sons resignation, declared the wage terms recommended by the Wage Stabilization Board were 'fby no means unreasonable" He said he believed steel profits were many times higher" than the pro- posed new wage costs.
