move in the same direction. The
Reserve Board called it a move
to dampen inflationary pressures.
Traditionally an increased rate
spells def1ation.
1t is a powerful psychological
weapon, too. Everyone in Wall
Street remembers how the rate
hit 6 per cent in August of 1929.
That doesn't mean that the
current increase to 2 per cent is
a prelude to a stock market
break. Nobody is thinking along
that line. The uppermost thought
probably is the inflated level of
credit. For example on Decem-
ber "a business loans by leading
New York banks reached new
high of $3,721 million. and today
they are only $128 million under
the record high.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
stock market had a rough time
this week. but it coped success
fully with severe selling pressure
in the final session.
II was the second straight
weekly decline since a peak for
1928 was reached. but the net
loss was less marked.
The overall action raised the
questionable the stock market
Jump or was it pushed?
A reaction from the election
upsurge has been talked about
and speculated upon ever since
the start of this year. Some be-
lieve the market talked itself into
a decline, so to speak, without a
real basis for a fall being present
at this time.
An examination of the Friday
market provides a good clinic.
Late the previous day the Fed
eral Reserve in Washington an
nounced an increase in the re-
discount rate to 2 per cent from
134 per cent. That means the
Reserve banks will charge that
increased rate of interest to COM

By reason of the international
prominence which she has earned
and the highest distinction which
our country can give her, it is par
ticularly fitting that she should de-
liver the dedicatory address at the
opening of the G. Layton Grier
Building for our Student Nurses
Training School and Home.
Also, it is most cOnsiderate of
Mrs. Leone to take the necessary
time out of an extremely busy
schedule to return to her native
state to give the Milford Memorial
Hospital the benefit of her wide
experience in the nursing profess
sion at the dedication of this beau
tiful edifice. Milford will be greatly

Voorhees, Sentence
Undergoing Review
au .ha A,,oeinted Pros, :.

FORT MEADE, Md, Feb. 49,
Review proceedings start today
in the case of 1t. Col. Melvin B.
VOORHEES,. former 9th Army chief
censor in Korea who was SEN
fenced to dismissal by a military
court Saturday.
Col Voorhees,. a former Ia
coma (Wash.) newspaper editor,
said he was delighted" because
the sentence was "just severe
enough to insure the appellate
action that I want"
OF Army review action, Col.
Voorhees, said:
"This is only the first round
in this thing. and I hope the
case goes to a court high enough
to render an authoritative and
binding opinion"
If the review procedure fails
to clear him, Col. Voorhees, said,
he may take his case to the re-
Gently established three-man
Court of Military Appeals. If
necessary. he said. he will try
for a Supreme Court hearing
A court-martial board convicted
Col. Voorhees, on five counts of
failing to clear his writings with
the Army before their publica-
ton, wi1fully disobeying an order
to withdraw q book manuscript
from a publisher, and submitting
two newspaper articles directly
to the Pentagon instead Of
through Army channels. The

ground Of the particular Scien-
fist, we finally narrowed it down
and definitely fixed the scientist
as Weinberg" Mr.. Murray testi-
fed.
The former intelligence officer
also told the committee that he
and two other agents sat on a
roof across from DR.. Weinberg's
home and watched a meeting on
August IL, 1943, at which Nelson
and four employees of the radia-
ton laboratories were guests.
Calls Committee Mistaken.
DR.. Weinberg replied that the
committee was mistaken in iden-
tifying him as Scientist x" He
said he was not employed by
the radiation laboratories at
Berkeley in March. 1943.
The committee answered that
they were aware that he was not
on the laboratory pay roll on
that date.
1.-THE committee has never
contended he got the informa-
ton f1rst-hand," a spokesman
said. "He was in the University
Of CALIFORNIA; physics depart
ment, and we have ample testi-
mony that there was a close
connection between the depart
ment and the laboratory"
How the investigators were
able to learn what went on in
the meeting at Nelson's home
was not revealed, and this later
became a matter of contention
when DR.. Weinberg's attorneys
sought dismissal of the perjury
charges.
The defense attorneys said the
evidence was obtained illegally
by unlawful interruptions of tele-
phone communications and of
the mails, and by unlawful en-
tries, trespasses, searches and
seizures.
Refused to Answer.
DR.. Weinberg has appeared in
court previously on charges
growing out of the committee
hearing. When the grand jury
sought to question him, he re-
fused to answer certain ques-
tions. and was charged with con-
tempt Of court.
Judge Alexander Holtzof, of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia. ruled that
DR.. Weinberg was within his
rights in refusing to answer the
questions on grounds Of possible
Standardization.
Following his grand jury APP
pearance, DR. Weinberg was fired
from his job on the University of
Minnesota faculty. University
officials said the dismissal came
because they felt he had not
been cooperative" with author
tiles.
DR.. Weinberg had been APP
pointed at Minnesota on March
16, 1947.

He was arrested later when he

shield of the liberal, the sub

worked disasters to our own
country"
In many cases, the Senator
said. genuine liberals were taken
in and fooled as much as the
public.

tor Smith described the Gold
Star Wives as victims Of an
aggressor's wrath F. . the ones
who, through the loss of their
husbands in defense of our
country, must continue to suffer
