Judge Clark Costigotes Navy
In Case of Denoted Veterans
Calls Defiance Of Law by Bureoucrots
Greater Menace Than Atomic Bomb

ing the policy expressed in the act
passed by the Congress. signed by
the President and duly promul-
gated. the Secretary of the Navy
reduced appellants in rank be-
low certain non-preference en-
lployes." The Secretary of the
Navy was not mentioned by name
but a check of the time of the ac-
ton shows John l.. Sullivan was
then Secretary.
The jurist quoted Government
counsel as stating that the statute
was not followed because "the
Secretary of the Navy had chang ed
his policy" To this Judge Clark
commented:
"The Secretary changed his
policy, forsooth. Not one word
was forthcoming as to any change
in the policy of Congress, which
lis the law" The judge then made
his attack on administrative
bureaucrats."
Judge Clark had added his
opinion to that expressed by the
other two members of the tri-
bunal, Judges Prettyman and
James M. Proctor.
Only One Question.
He said the appeal presented
only one question: Can the Sec
retaly of the Navy. or any other
administrative official, deliberately
f1out the will of Congress clearly
and without ambiguity expressed
in the law of the land?
Judge Prettyman quoted Navy
officials as saying that they be-
lieved the non-veterans were bet
ter qualified for the supervisory
positions.
But the judge declared:
I'VE think that the appellees
(the Governments view that
when personnel is reduced the
head of an agency may select en-
ployes to be retained in any claS-
sification on the basis of in
dividual merit and without giving
effect to Veterans Preference
Act is erroneous"
The veterans were represented
by Attorney Claude L. Dawson.
The appellate opinion over
turned a decision of Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff of the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District Of
Columbia.

Eisenhower Hits
Claim He Would
Destroy Unions
Asserts Democrats
Want to Cover Up
Their Own Record
By J. A. O'Leory
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ABOARD THE EISENHOWER
SPECIAL, Oct. 23.-Gen. Eisen-
hover lashed out at the Demo-
Gratis today for saying he would
destroy unions.
In his tour through industrial
cities of upstate New York, he told
an enthusiastic audience in
Schenectady that such charges
were leveled at him because the
Democrats wanted to cover up
their own record. =
"They say we are against labor
and labor unions in spite of the
fact that every one I know of in
this crusade has gone up and down
the line preaching for strong labor
unions that have the right and
the opportunity to bargain for
themselves on a collective basis
and free of Washington's inf1u-
ence," the general said.
Later today, Gen. Eisenhower
was to speak in Rochester and
Syracuse. Tonight he will deliver
a major speech in Buffalo. which
the Democrats carried in 1948.
Accompanied by Dewey.
He was accompanied on his tour
by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who
last night gave President Truman
a tongue lashing, the like of which
has seldom been heard in a po-
litical campaign.

Stress on Communism
All Signs Point to
Showdown on Major
Campaign Issue
By Crosby S. Noyes
Stor Staff Correspondent

ABOARD THE STEVENSON
SPECIAL, Oct. 23.-The emphasis
on communism and the best way
to combat it, which is at present
the outstanding feature of the
Democratic campaign, is no ac-
cident.
AS Gov. Stevenson's train sets
out today on a tour of eastern
Text Of Stevenson BuffoIo Address on
Communism ond 6. O. P. Poee A.
Ohio, all the signals are pointing
to a showdown on this major cam
paign issue.
For several days. the Governors
top advisers have been issuing
statements on their own, defend
ing him against charges from the
opposition that he and his party
have been soft toward Commu-
nists or communism. They have
also raised a cry of smear" in
connection with some of the tao
tics of the Republicans. Now. it
seems. they have convinced the
Governor that the Communist is

vigorous attention.
Subject of Two Speeches.
Communism was the subject of
both major speeches of Gov. Ste
|venSon's present tour, at Notre
Dame yesterday morning and at
Buffalo last night. 1t will be the
subject of his speech tonight in
|Cleveland-a speech considered so
important by the Democratic high
command that they have made
arrangements to have it rebroad-
cast on two national networks.
Such preoccupation with a sin
gle theme is in no way typical of
the Governors past performance
1t creates the impression that the
Democratic camp has wind of Re-
publican intentions for the last
two weeks of the campaign, and
lis concerned about the possibilities
of an all-out attack on the Com
munist issue.
Mccarthy Only One Angle.
Campaign Manager Wilson
Wyatt, cornered in the press car

entirely from apprehensions about

Earthquake in Turkey

By the As,ocio,ed Pres.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Oct. 23.-
IA brief but sharp earthquake in
the area of Adana in Southern
Turkey killed at least 18 persons
yesterday and injured 40.
The tremor, lasting about five
seconds, repeatedly caused con-
siderable damage in the city of
10000. A breakdown in COM
munications delayed full infor-

death toll might prove much
greater.

said the main issue of the cam
lpaign now is whether you are
going to let Stevenson sneak into
the White House on the Shiny
trail Of Truman mud"
The man who was beaten by
Mr.. Truman four years ago made
no effort to conceal his anger
as he answered the Presidents
recent attacks on Gen. Eisen-
hover.
The New York Governor at one
point asserted that Harry Tru-
man can't be believed under oath
The fact is his credibility has been
totally destroyed"
Speech Sounds Tame.
Gen. Eisenhower had a care
fully prepared speech, charging
the administration with en-
|couraging imitation to create an
illusion Of prosperity. But il
sounded tame coming on the heels
Of the Dewey blast. In fact, the
general himself must have had
the feeling Of anti-climax. He
began by telling the 10000 persons
in the hall that he wanted to talk
to them on a subject that is dry
but important.
Gen. Eisenhower left Albany
this morning, prepared to make
eight speeches on the way to
Buffalo. When the Republicans
carry New York they do it by
rolling up heavier vote upstate
than the margin by which the
Democrats carry New York City.
In this upstate area there are
big cities, however, that frequently
go Democratic, and Gen. Eisen-
hover was taking his crusade into
some Of those communities today,
Last night marked the second
time Gen. Eisenhower set out to
discuss imitation, only to have his
effort smothered by unforeseen
developments. He originally in
tended to deliver the imitation
speech in Cleveland a month ago
but that was the night Senator
Nixon Of California. his running
mate, went on television to defend
his use Of a privately raised ex-
pense fund. So the general hur-
riedly discharded the imitation

Jurors Indict
GrunewaId in
Refusal 10 Talk
Case Centers Around
Mystery Mans S Silence
Before House Probers

A grand jury today indicted
Henry w. (The Dutchman)
Grunewald for refusing to talk to
la House subcommittee.
There were % counts in the in.
dictment charging him with con-
tempt of Congress. 1t was re-
turned before Judge Edward M.
Curran of the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia.
1t centered around his various
appearances before House Ways
and Means subcommittee, which
last winter delved into tax mat
terS.
One count charged Grunewald,
Washington mystery man with a
Ipenchant for handling huge sums
Of money, with refusing to tell the
House members his full name.
Another accused him of re-
naming mum when the Repre-
Sentatives asked him if he had
understood previous question.
Failed to Produce Records.
He also was accused of failing
to produce certain books and
records the subcommittee had
asked him to bring to the hear
ings.
Some of the questions which
brought the contempt indictment
were:
What is your full name, Mr..
Gruenwald?"
do you have business Office,
place of business?"
How long have you lived at
the Westchester apartments?"
DO you understand the ques-
ton put to you. Mr.. Gruenwald?"
do you have a counsel?"
DO you understand that ques-
tion?"
Gruenwald remained silent
when these questions and others
were put. The contempt occurred,
the grand jury said, during
Gruenwald's appearances Decem-
Der II, 20 and 81, 1851, and jan
uary 90, 1852.
The House last April cited
Grunewald for contempt on a roll
call vote of 1872 to o.
At that time Chairman King Of
the Tax Scandals Subcommittee
told the House that Grunewald
had refused to answer even the
simplest questions.
No Claim of Privilege. ,
He made no claim of privilege
against Standardization even
when asked directly if he meant to
claim such privilege" Mr.. King
said. mot only was Grunewald's
failure to answer contumacious.
but he even refused at one session
TO acknowledge the fact that
members were speaking to him.
He sat in mute contempt of our
processes"
Mr King pointed out that
GruneWald figured prominently"
in the investigation of corruption
and irregularities in tax matters
and had lent money to and had
business dealings with high off,
cials in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
He was revealed during the
hearings as being close friend Of
Charles Oliphant, former general
counsel of the revenue bureau.
The subcommittee also heard
that Grunewald paid the bill for a
$20-a-day suite in the Washington
Hotel occupied for almost a year
and a half by Daniel A. Bolich,
former assistant commissioner Of
revenue.
Grunewald failed to keep one
scheduled appearance before the
committee. At that time he was
reported as confined to his West
chester apartment because of q
heart condition.
He was represented by William
Power Maloney as counsel.

Forces on Formosa
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, April 25.-Navy Sec
retary Kimball today urged more
aid to the Chinese Nationalists on
Formosa ito make them more
able" to fight.
ut is not for me to say where
or when they should fight" he
said. "but they are willing
and I would like to see us give
them more help"
Mr.. Kimball, in a speech pre-
pared for delivery to the Aero
Club here, said his recent trip
to Asia convinced him that the
Filipinos, free Chinese and the
Japanese are "as willing to fight
for their freedom as the Koreans. j."
The Secretary's remarks were
similar to, but more restrained
than a statement he made to
newsmen in Japan during his tour
that the United States Navy would
stand on the sidelines and cheer"
any Nationalist invasion of Red
China.
The State Department dis
avowed this statement. But on
his return here Mr.. Kimball said
he had received no word about
his remarks from anybody at the
White House or in the State or
Defense Departments.
Today. he urged vigorous and
rapid help for "all free peoples
of Asia to prepare themselves for
their own defense"
Mr.. Kimball coupled his plea
for aid to Asia with one for money
to build up and keep the United
States Fleet modern.
Whoever controls the seas in
