Plan Another Rally
Under Soviet Guard
By the Associoted Press

BERLIN, June 24.-East Ger.
many's shaky Communist gov
ernment today scheduled another
workers rally in East Berlin. ap-
parently hopeful that careful or
ganization and Soviet steel would
prevent this one from developing
into another open rebellion.
Party bosses called on workers
of the city's three big eastern
boroughs-Mitte. Friedrichshain
and Kopenick-to show their
support at a mass demonstration
tomorrow for the regimes an
nounced plans to make things
better for the working class.
Approval for the gathering was
granted by Soviet Maj. Gen. P. T.
Dibrova, commander of the Red
army divisions which crushed the
violent June II rebellion follow

other by continued declarations

The known executions in the
Communist-ruled area have now
reached 20 and one life sentence
was added to the toll today. Kurt
Unbehauen of Gera was given
this term at hard labor by a
German court.
Arrests continued - 400 in
Dresden. lis in Freital and 78 in
Tharandt. The Reds began
evacuating families of workers
convicted of striking, the first
ones at Cottbus near the Polish
border.
Soviet newspapers reporting
the sentencing of Unbehauen de-
scribed him as a former Hitler
Brown Shirt (SA trooper) who
burrowed into the Socialist
Unity (Communist) Party after
the conquest of Germany in
1945.
Youth Rally Staged.
Tomorrow's planned rally was
scheduled after a test run with
10000 blue-shirted youth of the
Communist FDJ Gree German

Grotewohl and the other top
men in his government and

Speaking at Boehlen. near

Retirement OF suspended Po-
lice Inspector Albert I. Bullock
on one-half Of his $7,000-a-year
salary appeared almost certain
today was Federal Judge Alexan-
der Holtzof1 took under advise
ment a formal ruling in the
case.
In the strongest language,
Judge Holtzoff told Assistant
Corporation Counsel Oliver
Gasch he doubted that Police
Chief Robert v. Murray and the
Board of Commissioners could
withhold Inspector Bullock's an
nuity.
Before I reach a conclusion
that he (BullocR could be de-
prived Of his pension, I would
have to be convinced almost be-
yond a reasonable doubt that
such thing is possible.
Il think to do so would be
unjust"
Right to Discipline Upheld.
Judge Holtzoff stressed that
he did not doubt for a moment
that the police chief had a
right to maintain discipline in
any manner, within reason, he
chose. However, he said he
doubted that a policeman could
be deprived of a pension to
which he had contributed on the
basis of charges brought after
the man has satisfied retirement
requirements.
Speaking to Mr.. Gasch in U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia, Judge Holtzof OBJ
served:
II would, with very little
hesitation, agree with you if this
were a non-contributory pen
sion fund"
Judge Holtzof went on to say
a police or Government pension
was similar to an old-age pen
sion.
why, this man has been
practically buying insurance all
his life" the judge concluded.
He said he was conflning his
ruling to the narrow issue Of
whether it is possible to with
hold a pension once the person
has served the required number
of years.
Would Involve Others.
Judge Holtzof added that to
rule such thing possible he
would put every Government
employe in a position where he
doesn't know whether he has a
retirement annuity or not" "
Judge Holtzoff added: Even if
Mr.. Bullock is found guilty by
a trial board and is dismissed
from the force, I still doubt that
he can be deprived of his pen
sion"

years service.
The retirement law states
policemen and flremen are elig-
ible on reaching SIS years and Is
years service.
Mr.. Gasch repeatedly coun-
tered Judge Holtzof's le-
marks concerning Inspector Bull
locks retirement eligibility by
saying the statute meant 25
honorable years" of service.
Charles E. Ford, lawyer for
Bullock, stressed that Inspector
Bullock three times since be-
coming eligible on February IL,
1852, had asked for retirement
and that until last night stood
unchanged.
First Count Dismissed.
In taking the pension question
under advisement, Judge Holtzoff
dismissed the first count in In
Spector Bullock's two-point writ
Of mandamuS. Judge Holtzoff
refused to order Inspector Bull
locks current suspension lifted.
Meanwhile, last night InSpec-
tor Bullock was served with trial
board charges at his Hyattsville
home by Deputy Chief of Police
William Cunningham.
The trial board charges allege
insubordination by Inspector
Bullock for refusing to answer
questions put by Chief Murray
at a heated two-hour session in
Chief Murray's Office Monday.
Another count alleges conduct
prejudicial to the best interests
OF the force in that Inspector
Bullock failed to file District
income taxes for the years 1916,
1947 and 1948. A third says he
placed the force under oppro-
brium by his failure to explain
his finances and those of his
wife, a former WAC officer, to
the Senate District Crime sub
committee.
There the matter rests until
Judge Holtzoff hands down his
formal ruling and the trial
board makes it's determination
some time after June 8.

LONDON. April 29.-Prime
Minister Churchill touched off
a House of Commons uproar to-

cision to let Gen. Erwin Rom

inspect some of Britain'S newest
military equipment.
Sir Winston drew sharp labor

Germany'S representative in re-
armament negotiations with the
Western allies, is one of 16O
Western military men invited to
inspect the equipment.
Sir Winston told the House:
"I do not know of any reason
why the former chief of staff Of
Gen. Rommel should be under
any exceptional disability. On
the contrary, in the height of
the war I paid my tribute to
RommePS outstanding military
gifts. I regard his resistance to

1O-Cent Rate
For Phone Calls
Granted Here
Revenue Increase
Of Sl.3 Million
A Year Approved

The Public Utilities Commits
sion today approved an increase
in pay telephone calls from S
cents to 10 cents.
At the same time. the commits
sion ordered the Chesapeake g.
Potomac Telephone Co. to sub
NIT new telephone rate schedules
designed to produce approxi-
mately $1.3 million additional
gross revenues year. The raise
in pay telephone rates is ex-
pected to bring in $1,032, 900 of
this amount.
This leaves approximately
$268.000 to be raised by increas-
ing rates on other telephones
service.
The new telephone rates will
not go into effect until the COM
pany submits rate schedules and
the commission approves them
A public hearing on the pro-
posed rates will be scheduled
after the telephone company
submits them.
Sought Larger Increase.
The increases granted by the
commission are a heavy cutback
from what the telephone COM
pany wanted. When it filed its
application for an increase last
October, the telephone company
asked that it be allowed to
boost rates enough to bring in
$35 million gross revenues an
nually. Included in the request
was the proposal to increase pay
telephones from S cents to 10
cents.
The Federal Government was
represented at the hearings by
James K. Mcintosh of the Gen.
eral Services Administration. He
said the telephone company was
earning enough money under
present rates and did not need
an increase.
The telephone company said it
needed the additional revenues
to keep up with the rising costs
of labor and materials and to
expand service. The company
also contended it's rate of re-
turn was too low under present
rates and shoud be 7.3 per cent.
The commission, in it's order
today. said it concluded that a
rate of return between 6 per
cent and 6.25 per cent "is fair
and reasonable and will maintain
the company in sound financial
condition"
Earnings Held Inadequate.
The commission said the tele-
phone company was earning a
return of ST. per cent on its in
vestment under present rates. It
concluded that this was LESS
than a fair return" and said ad-
ditional gross revenues of $1.3
million would produce fair re-
turn.
During the public hearings j.
w. Falk, executive accountant Of
the commission. recommended
that the pay phones be jumped
from cents to 10 cents. He
testified he saw no need for any
other increases.
In supporting his recon-
mendation Mr.. Falk pointed out
that the rate for public tele-
phones has been increased from
5 cents to 10 cents in the adja-
cent areas of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. He said the 1O-cent
charge has been authorized, in
80 States and is now applicable
to about four-fifths of all coin
box telephones in the country.
Mr.. Falk also said that while
other types of telephone service
have been increased on two oc-
caSions within the past FIVE :
years, the public telephone
charge has remained at S cents.

Pfc. Cox, double amputee,

THAT is what you'd call it," he

Pfc. Cox was with the 32nd

"There were about 20 wounded
to each truck. We were trying
to get them out to Hamhung,
where the evacuation fleet was

The convoy ran into a Chi

whelmed. Pfc. Cox was wounded.
Then the Chinese climbed
up on the trucks and sprayed
burp guns into the wounded.
Then they bayoneted them. The
wounded were screaming. They

When captured, the young
soldier, only II, had had one
foot smashed by a Chinese NOR

other leg cut by a rifle bullet.
In that condition he had to make
