Jury Still Weighs
Fate Of Is Accused
As Red Chieftains
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK. Jan. ia Fed
eral Court jury, deadlocked over
the fate of 13 second-string
Communist leaders, resumed it's
deliberations today after having
been locked up for a second
night.
The jury received the con-
spiracy case at 2::23 pm. Thurs
day. It took up its study of the
case again at 1912 am. after
having spent a second night in
a hotel.
Already the jury has spent
about 14l2 hours pondering it's
verdict. not counting time out
for meals and rest. 1t was sent
to a midtown hotel both Thurs
day night and last night.
IL Convicted Quickly.
When II top Communist lead
ers were convicted three years
ago another Federal Court panel
brought in its verdict of guilty
after seven hours.
The current 13 defendants are
being tried on the same charge
that tripped the ll-conspiracy
to teach and advocate the vio-
lent overthrow of the United
States Government. The Gov
ernment said the 13 stepped
into the shoes of those convicted.
Jurors yesterday sent numer-
GUS notes to Federal Judge Ed
ward j. Dimock, and with his
consent arm-loads of documents
were carried into the panel room.
21 Indicted in 1851.
Originally 81 second-string
Communist leaders were indicted
June 20. 1851, under the Smith
Act. Four still are fugitives: two
others escaped trial because of
illness, and two others were
granted a directed acquittal by
Judge Dimock.
The 13 remaining are Alex
ander Bittelman. 81: George
Blake Charny. 46; Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn. 60; Betty Gan
nett, A: Victor Jeremy Jerome,
81; Arnold Samuel Johnson, 46;
Claudia Jones, SO; Alexander
Leo Trachtenberg. IS: Louis
Weinstock, 48: William Void
Weinstone, 50: Pettis Perry, 81;
Jacob Minded, SO. and Albert

penalty for each defendant of
five years in prison and a
$4,000 fine.

Vast Trash Cleanup
Begins in Baltimore
After 16-Day Strike
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1.-THE
city's sanitation department put
all available equipment on the
streets today as it started to
clean up the mess left by a l6-
day strike of garbage collectors
and other municipal laborers.
The city had threatened them
with loss of their jobs and re-
placement if they did not show
up by noon yesterday.
William P. Fannon, city sani-
tation engineer. said it would be
next Tuesday before the trash
and garbage collectors reach all
the residential sections of the
city.
Several Concessions Offered.
After the men came back to
work. the city announced it
would grant them several con-
cessionS on fringe benefits and
working conditions.
Night and swing shift workers
have been getting a premium Of
cents an hour. They will get
10 under the new scale. They
will get time -and-a-h half pay for
Sundays and regular days off. If
they are on sick leave. they will
get holiday pay on the II paid
holidays they regularly have
each year. If they are injured
in an accident, they will start
drawing benefits on the first day
after the. accident instead Of
on the third.
Leaders of the AFL Teamsters
Union who represented the men
said they had ordered workers
back on the job yesterday.
Union Ties Severed.
The city already had with
drawn its recognition of the
union, however, and will no
longer deduct union dues from
pay envelopes.
The union started out de-
manding a 60 cent increase in
base pay, which ranged from
$1.1912 to $1.22l2 an hour. This
later was scaled down to IS
cents and then to 9 per cent.
The city had offered the fringe
benefits just before the men
went on strike. ,

Cost of Livinq
(Continued From First Page. J

lower figures than the old index.
The big cost of living increase
between the 1935-1939 period and
the 1947-1949 period will not be
represented in the new index.
The index figure published yes
terday was 1907. On a 1947-1949
base it would have been 114.1.
This means that percentage
changes in the cost of living will
produce a smaller swing in the
new index than they would in
the old. And yet many labor
contracts adjust wages on the
basis of the number of points the
index moves from month to
month-rather than on a per-
centage basis.
2. The new index will take
into account price changes in
medium-size and small cities.
The old index was based on price
data gathered in "a large cities.
The new index will use data
from 46 communities of all sizes.
3. The market basket" of
things bought by moderate in
come families in these cities will
be considerably remodeled. AS an
example: The cost of food has
represented more than 33 per
cent. In the new index, food
will represent only 30.1 per cent.
4. A number of new items
on which money is spent will be
figured into the new index.
Among these are included tele-
vision sets, frozen foods and the
cost of homes. The new index
will cover almost everything you
buy-medical care. clothes, NOV
les. cigarettes. transportation. on
up to 300 items, instead of 200.
as before.
Mr.. Clague said BIS has been
working on the new index for
31a years. He gave two main
reasons for the change: One. an
attempt throughout the Federal
Government to put all indexes
on the same 1947-1949 base;
and two. the need to take pc
riodic account of changed spend
ing habits which were warping
the old index.
The Government has been
putting out a measurement. or
index, of the cost of living since
1918. The present change is the
third major revision.
A / per cent decline in the re-
tail price of food was chiefly
responsible for the December
drop in the old index, BIS re-
ported. Egg prices dropped 1O.7
per cent, the agency said, and
meats. poultry and fish also were
lower.
The mid-December index of
1907 was eight-tenths per cent
higher than a year ago and IL
per cent higher than pre-Korea.
The November Is figure was
1911, and the bureau calculated
that the drop of four-tenths OF
a point on the index was equiva-
lent to a decline Of two-tenths
of / per cent.
The mid-December decline ap-
peared to be too small to cause
any change in pay rates Of auto
mobile industry and railroad
workers whose union contracts
peg wage scales to living costs.

for White House people and also

Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
military aide, carried out the
project. Friends of the Presi-
dent, chiefly in the Kansas City
area, put up the money and a
manufacturer was found who Of
fered to install the alleys for
$4,000. They were presented to
Mr.. Truman on his birthday,
May 8. 1947.
Mr.. Truman has used the al
leys rarely. He did roll the first
ball.
Representatives of Gen. Eli
senhower. searching for addi-
tional space, decided the space
where the alleys are would have
to be used for Office space. Gen.
Vaughan notified the members
of the bowling league the alleys
would be theirs after they are
moved, so that they might con-
tinue the game.

1T is replete with possibilities
for misunderstanding and bitter
ness. To the extent it might be
successful, it would involve us
in heavy responsibilities.
Finally, the prospects for sue
cess would be very small indeed,

Formulated Policy.
Mr.. Kennan formulated, while
he was stationed in the Moscow
Embassy as a United States
diplomat about the end of World
War II, a statement of the con-
tainment policy" which became
the basis of United States policy
toward Russia.
The essence of the contain
ment policy was to create
strength among the free ma
tions to prevent any expansion
of Soviet power, and count on
either the eventual internal
breakdown of the Communist
system or its mellowing to a
point where the cold war could
be settled.
During the election campaign
Mr.. Dulles assailed the contain
ment policy as inadequate and
called for peaceful steps which
would put the free world on the
offensive and would exert pres
Sures toward the rolling back of
Soviet power.
Mr.. Kennan has held top
positions in the State Depart
ment as chief of Secretary Ache
sons policy planning staff and
as department counselor prior to
his designation as Ambassador
to Moscow last spring.
Now Serves as COnSultant.
Since the Russians denied
him opportunity to finish out
his service as Ambassador he has
been in this country as a con-
sultant to the State Department.
He owns a farm in Pennsylvania.
In the Scranton speech Mr..
Kennan said he cannot recall a
single major foreign policy de-
cision in recent years which
Communist influence would have
had any appreciable part in
determining"
"On the other hand" Mr..
Kennan said Il have seen serious
damage done in these recent
years to public confidence and
to Government morale by the
mishandling of our own measures
to counter precisely this problem
of Communist penetration"
The Ambassador said he was
sure that Communist Party
leaders in Moscow cannot but
rejoice at the spectacle. to which
they have recently been treated.

suspicion in our councils over
these painful and delicate ques-
tions of loyalty"

Fund DriUe Set
To Buy Out The
COnCeSSiOnaire
At WickerS Field

The city commission,
spanked by commissioners
John Carbonell and Louis
M. ]. Eisner, gave the GO
ahead signal yesterday af-
ternoon to final arrange
ments for the transfer of the
/ Tampa Smokers of the Flori-
da International League to
this city.
"It's in the bag" they said
after they agreed informally
to give the Tampa operation
the same deal they had earli-
or offered the Havana and
Fl. Lauderdale teams, which
includes use of the park,
lighting system and conces-
sions at a flat 20 per cent of
the net profit-if any.
At the same time, committee
was named to organize a fund
raising campaign to obtain money
to purchase the concessions from
the present lessee, Armando Ace
vedo, who has indicated that
he will sell them for $500. The con-
ceSsions would then be presented
to the club.
Louis CarboneIl, who was named
chairman of the drive said that it
"Should be wound up today"
He also reported that in =
phone conversation with Tom Spi.
cole, Tampa president. he was
assured that II the concessions
are available TO him, he will be

here. TT. Pierce, which has also
gone on record as wanting the club,

Ace Highlander
Too Much For
EUans' Players

Arno Lamb, American Industrial
Sales ace highlander, pitched a
perfect game against Evans Enter
priSeS in the second game of a
double header Saturday night as
they swept both ends of the twin
bill, 1871 and 20. In the opener,
Roy Gleeson limited the All Stars
to two hits, a second inning double
by Kenneth Kerr and an infield
hit by John Lewis in the fourth
while his teammates were backing
him up with a sixteen hit attack
off Bill Franklin and Rocky Ma
rucci.
Satch Somersall, AIS outfielder,
led the attack in the first game
with single, double, and homer
in five tries to drive in four runs.
Buster Zeigler, AIS playing mana
ger, had two singles in four tries
and drove in four runs.
In the nightcap, Lamb turned in
one of the best pitching exhibitions
ever witnessed in Key West as he
shut out Evans without a hit and
without man reaching first.
Lamb struck out Is and only eight
balls were hit off him. Not a ball
was hit in the outfield and AL
Acevedo and Dewitt Roberts were
the only hitters whom Lamb didn't
strike out.
The only bright spot for Evans
was the fact that Roberts pitched
one of the best games of his career
as he matched Lamb, pitch for
pitch, until Roy Thomas worked
him for a walk in fifth. Up to this
moment not a man had reached
base off Roberts. In the same
fifth, Jack Blanton, AIS leftfielder,
got the first hit off Roberts, a high
bouncer over first baseman Bobby
Lastres' head. In the sixth, AIS
scored their only runs off Roberts.
Knobby Rosa opened the inning by
drawing a walk. Whitley Campbell
sacrificed, but he was safe when
Bobby Santana let Lastress throw
get away from him. Zeigler was
purposely walked to fill the bases,
but Thomas came through with a
