Perjury Conviction
Of Christoffe| Upheld
By Appeals Court

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today upheld the perjury
conviction of Harold r. Christoffel
former Milwaukee labor leader.
Christoffel, former official of the
Allis- Chalmers local United Auto
Workers, was convicted of swear
ing falsely by denying he had
ever been a member of the Com
munist Party. The alleged per-
jury was committed before the
House Labor Committee in 1947
An earlier conviction under the
same indictment was reversed by
the Supreme Court in 1949.
The high court reversal was
based on the grounds that the
trial court had erred in instruct
ing the jury. The error lay, the
court said, in the declaration that
a quorum Of the committee could
be considered to have been pres
ent during the testimony if it had
been shown that such quorum
was present at the beginning of
the session.
On a retrial, the Government
~ prove a quorum was
actually present when Christoffel
..>.-- Il. Christoffel was con-
victed second time and the case
again appealed on grounds that
the trial judge erred in the ex-
clusion and admission of evidence
bearing on the issue of quorum.
In the retrial of the case, the
Government sought to prove that
a quorum actually was present
during Christoffel'S testimony.
A conviction was again obtained,
but the defense appealed on the
grounds that the trial court erred
in the admission and exclusion of
evidence which might have
brought a different verdict.
But today the appellate court
held in part that the issue "was
sufficiently and fairly tested be-
fore the jury. :"

Ma|ik Opposes Japan
For u. n. Membership
BY the Assoeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Sept.
18.-Russia's Jacob A. Malik called
Japan a. colony and weapon of the
United States yesterday and said
Japan could not be admitted to
the United Nations now.
He thus made clear he would
use the veto today when Japan's
membership application is voted on
by the U. N. Security Council. Mr..
Malik used the veto Tuesday to
block the admission of, Libya,
North African kingdom carved out
by the U. N. from the prewar Ital-
ian overseas empire of Mussolini.
Taking the floor just after
United States Senator Warren r.
Austin had appealed for admission
OF the ex-enemy japanese, Mr..
Malik told the Security Council
that consideration of the Japa-
nese bid was premature. Russia
refused to sign the japanese peace
treaty in San Francisco a year
ago.
Mr.. Malik pointed out he was
Soviet representative in Japan
after the 1945 surrender, and said:
From the day Of Japan5s sur
render, it became obvious the
United States had its own special
plan. which boiled down to turn
ing Japan into a weapon of ag-
greSsion."
He said the United States had
turned Japan into a springboard
for what he called "the illegal
war" In, Korea.
Before Mr.. Malik spoke, Britain.
the Netherlands, Pakistan. .Tur-
key and Chile had lined up with
the United States in favor of ia

BY q s,off Correspondent of tn. s,or

LA PLATA, Md, Sept. 18.-
Counsel for Air Force Sergt. HON.
er Arthur Allison pressed today
for a hearing of murder charges
after announcing that witnesses
will testify that his wife, Rosie
Ann, was injured fatally in an
accident.
Attorneys Edward S. Digges and
Oscar r. Duley said in a prepared
statement that two undisclosed
persons" are ready to aid the de-
fense and that they believe au-
thorities have located at least one
more witness who can help clear
up the case.
Sergt. Allison. a one-time B-29
tail gunner credited with IS mis-
Slons over Korea, was charged
September 8, two days after he
brought his unconscious wife to a
hospital here. The 23-year-old
mother OF three died two hours
later.
Said She Jumped.
The Sergerant, who is 27 and is
assigned to a maintenance SQUAD
ron at Andrews Air Force Base.
told police his wife jumped from
their car after an argument which
began in a tavern near Me-
chanicsville. He said they were
returning to their home near
Clinton.
Authorities and defense at
torneyS agree that Mrs. Allison
was injured on Route S, about a
mile-and-a-half east of the Wal
dorf traffic light. Her shoes and
wrist watch were found at that
point.
Police said Sergt. Allison later
told them he did not know how
his wife left the car. "She Just
disappeared" he was quoted as
saying. Blood and hair found on
the underside of the cars chassis
was held to be of the same type
as Mrs. Allison's. The cars right
front fender was dented and the
front door on the right side was
jammed.
Decision in a habeas corpus
action designed to freesSergt. AL
lison under bond was postponed
when Charles County States At
torney Robert T. Barbour said his
investigation was continuing. Cir
cult Judge j. Dudley Digges sug-
gested that resumption of the
habeas action should be preceded
by a preliminary hearing.
No date has been set, but in

will be held today or tomorrow.

The defense counsel said the
witnesses known to them are pre-
pared to testify that upon their
arrival at the scene, they saw
the body lying on the highway
and at some distance beyond the
point where the body was lying
they saw Sergt. Allison bring his

Mr.. Lewis says these exempted
mines have agreed that, in return

shut down, they will accept what

a Welfare Fund Agreement.
The union reached an interim
agreement yesterday with the
anthracite (hard coaD operators
to boost that industry's welfare

pensions and other ebeneflts-
from 80 to SO cents a ton.
This assures that the hard coal
industry will keep on working
without a strike, but will be called
on to negotiate further contract
terms, including new wage rates,
probably patterned after what
happens In soft coal.
Mr.. Lewis was reported trying
to extend his strike exemption

them away from the Bituminous

the Lewis terms would mean "eco-
