1t. Gen. George H. Decker
Army comptroller, testified yester-
day he did not believe the Joint
Chiefs had any part IN formulating
the policy. He said it was not a
military assumption the war would
end on specific date.
There appeared TO be a posi-
bility that Marshall and former
Secretary of Defense Robert A.
Lovett, who issued a similar order
later on. might De called. to give
their versions.
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-
Me-, subcommittee chairman, said
a decision had not been reached
on this point. She added she hoped
to wind up the hearings in another
10 days.
Byrd said in bis opinion the
directive affected, the Army's plan
ming and that in turn led to ammu-
milton shortages. Witnesses have
agreed there was no real ammuni-
ton production until two years
after the war began.

guilty that there has been little at

law banning sale Of alcoholic drinks

state beverage agents swooped
down on DuvaI Street on March

the young sailors in the three

Ortega's bar maid, Mrs. Donna
Betancourt, said that sailor Robert

he was picked up by Agent Russell,
his card showed he was 20.

same thing happened at Ceci's
bar, that the boy had card show

3. international control of atomic
energy for peaceful purposes "and
to ensure prohibition of atomic
weapons. y
4. Limitation or prohibition Of
other weapons Of great destruc,
tiveness.
S. Enforcement of all these
agreements by adequate safe.
guards, including a practical sys.
tenn of inspection under the United
Nations.
"The details Of such disarma,
ment are manifestly critical and
complex, :" Eisenhower said. Mel.
Their the u. S. nor any other nation
can properly claim to possess a
perfect, immutable formula.
.'but the formula matters less
than the faith the good faith
withou which no formula car
work justly and effectively"
Eisenhower evidently designed
his speech as Americas answer to
the Soviet peace offensive which
began Immediately after Stalin's
death on March S.
Soviet Premier MalenEov has
said that all problems between
Russia and the U. S. can be solved,
and the Reds have made a number
Of peaceful gestures including
agreement on the exchange Of sick
and wounded prisoners in Korea
starting next Monday.
Today Eisenhower pressed his
question about what Russia is now
prepared to do about achieving
real peace. He asked:
is the new leadership of the
Soviet Union prepared to use its
decisive influence in the Commun
ist world -including control of the
flow Of arms--to bring not merely
an expedient truce in Korea buI
genuine peace in Asia?
Is it prepared To allow otheI
nations, including those of East
ern Europe, the free choice o.
their own forms IF government ant
the right to associate freely with
other nations in worldwide com
munity of law"
is it prepared 10 act in con
cert With others upon serious dis
armament proposals to be made
firmly effective by stringent U. N
controls and inspection?
IF not--where then is the con
crete evidence of the Soviet I'm
ions concern for peace?"
The Presidents proposal to usg
a percentage Of ornaments cost
for peaceful purposes throughout
the world contained no figures.
However, according to the Tru
man administrations budget fol
the fiscal year ending June 30
military spending win total about
ssh, 200, COO. 900.

MARCH AND RUSSELL

CONTINUED from Page Onel
O'Bryant discounted his letter re-
commencing March to the direc-
torship of the Florida Education
Association. saying he signed it
without reading it.
He opened the evenings discus
sions apologizing for falling to be
present at the crucial meeting
April 4 when the contract renew
ais first came up.
1T was my fault entirely that
fhe Board got snarIed up" he
said. Various sections Of the
school code have been broken.
Certain portions Of last weeks
meeting were invalid"
O'Bryant then asked that
Cleare's legal opinion be read on
questions dealing with the powers
Of the Trustees, the Board and the
Superintendent. At the end Of this
emerged only the facts stated ear
lier by O'Bryant that the Superin-
tendent must make his recon-
mendations for appointments and
dismissals to the Trustees who in
turn make their recommendations
to the Board which in turn votes
on them.
Though this was carried cut 10
the letter last night, namely
o'Bryans's letter Of recommend
alton had been submitted to the
Trustees, with dismissal pro-
posals for March and Russell;
the Trustees fhereUpon dis
agreed with o'Brysnf and In.
sisted on retention Of March and
Russell. the Board was nonethe-
less prevented from voting on
March and Russell by Attorney
cIesre who then said II was not
legal for The Board TO do SO.
Through the maze Of abstruss
/ legalistie pickering, emerged the
fact that personalities, not princi
pals were at stake.
The meeting ended as it begar
in an atmosphere of i'll feeling be
tween the superintendent and hi
general supervisor. And despit,
