AWOL Soldier
Loses Plea Based
On Authorizations

An excuse by an AWOL SOL
dier that Army authorizations on
his transfer orders were unin-
telligihle. thus preventing him
from knowing he was to be
transferred to a European post,
was rejected today by the U. 8.
Court of Military Appeals.
Pvt. Roy A. Stabler, %. of
Mobile, Ala. was convicted by
a court-martial last July of de-
sertion with intent to shirk i'm
portant service. He was given
orders on April Z directing him
to transfer from Fort jackson,
S. c. to Camp Kilmer, N. j., for
reassignment to Europe.
Stabler was arrested at his
home in Mobile. He said his
funds ran out and he was ex-
pecting financial help from a
sister to enable him to continue
on to Camp Kilmer when he was
arrested seven weeks after leav-
ing South Carolina.
Stabler was sentenced to 2h
years Of hard labor and a dis
honorable discharge.

"AS a brilliant air strategist and
one of the first chiefs OF the staff

United States Attorney Leo A.

of convictions in morals cases
before a recent meeting of Mu-

A controversy has arisen over

them. Judge Milton D. Kron-
helm, saying he considered Mr.
Rover's appearance improper"
And later, Representative Celler,
Democrat, of New York entered
the dispute by charging in a
House speech that Mr.. Rover had
Criticized" the judges.
Mr.. Rover said today that he
told the judges that while "he
was not criticizing them" he
believes that some of them are
either misconstruing the law or
have misread the law regarding
morals cases"
Analysing Decisions.
Mr.. Rover said he also told the
judges that his research depart
ment is analysing all of the de-
cisions on morals cases handed
down by the United States Court
of Appeals and the Municipal
Court of Appeals.
The prosecutor declared that
he asked the judges "if they
would resent it if I furnished
them copies of that report"
"They said they would be very
happy to see the report" Mr..
Rover added.
The attorney cited a recent
case where he said reputable

Mr.. Rover said he refused to
drop the case and sent the at

with instructions that he did
not mind If the attorney tried
to arrange a time in the day to
plead his client guilty when
there would be the least chance
of publicity.
Mr.. Rover said that when the
attorney went to the bench and
asked the judge to accept his
clients plea of guilty. the jurist
asked the attorney if his client
was actually guilty. Mr.. Rover
quoted the attorney as saying the
official was guilty.
Mr.. Rover declared. however,
that the jurist urged the defense
counsel to go through with
trial.
THAT man." said Mr.. Rover,
instead Of pleading guilty, went
to trial and was subsequently
acquitted"
That" said Mr.. Rover, "indi-
Gates to me that the judge-and
I refuse to name him - had a
prediction for acquittal.

Atomic Radiation May Replace Refrigerotors

the subcommittee which held
the hearings, ending yesterday.
on peacetime uses Of atomic
energy
DR.. Butts said radiation has
been used successfully in pre-
serving potatoes. onions and
meats. Other vegetables have
yet to be tried.
He said irradiated meats had
been kept for two or three weeks.
instead of a few days, on low
temperature shelves of the sort
found in grocery stores.
Larger doses Of radiation have
meats longer but have
left an "off taste" that science is
trying to eliminate. he said.
The theory. DR.. Butts explain
ed. is that bacteria, which cause
spoilage, are killed by radiation.

Figures
Show New Rise
In Unemp|oyed
$4,000 Goin Listed
In Month Viewed by
President as Crucial
By james Y. Newton

The number of unemployed in
creased slightly in March, reach
ing the total of 3.725, 900, the Sec
ond highest figure for the month
since 1941, the Government re-
ported today.
This was the month which
President Eisenhower told a press
conference several weeks ago that
the employment situation should
show a marked improvement on
a normal seasonal basis. The
President added that unless the
economic situation did improve
in March he would consider vari-
Gus types of measures designed
to offset the decline, including
some additional tax relief.
At a subsequent conference.
however. the President apparent-
ly sought to soften the effect of
his earlier remarks.
Employment normally picks UP
markedly in the spring. Since
Gen. Eisenhower made his re-
mark other officials have indi-
Gated that April might actually
be the key month in determining
future economic trends.
Increase of $4,000.
The Census Bureau survey for
March showed that unemploy-
ment increased $4,000 over Feb
ruary. Only once before since
the Government began surveying
employment trends on the pres
ent basis in 1941 has their been
a raise in the number of unem-
ployed from February to March.
The only previous occasion
when unemployment increased
in March was 1916, shortly after
the war and at time when a
n'H,1ber of large industries were
closed down by strikes.
The Census Bureau said that
COL million persons were en-
ployed last month, an increase
of $4,000 over the February
figure. This rise in the number
of employed persons also is
smaller than that which nor
mally takes place at this time
of year. For example, employ
ment increased $4,000 between
February and March last year.
Four Million Out in 1850.
In March, 1858, Census figures
showed unemployment was l.
$4,000
In March, 1850, the number of
unemployed reached 4,123, 900,
the only figure for the month to
exceed this years since before
the war.
In addition to the unemployed,
Census officials estimated that
about 235,000 workers were on
temporary layoff from their jobs
last month. These workers, it
was said, were under definite in
Structions to return to work
within 30 days. n-agriculture
employment was placed at 54.2
million in March, a decline in
125.000 from the February figure.
Census said that agricultural
employment, at an estimated S.
$4,000 failed to show the normal
increase in March. This was
attributed to unfavorable weather
conditions over most of the
country.
Bureau officials emphasized
that the rise in unemployment in
March was the smallest in six
months. The January to

Legion 0fficiaIIyAsk,
Removal Of Tempo
Hiding Memorial
Action Token by Group
Representing All of
Posts in District

The District Department of
the American Legion has Off
cially called on the Government
to remove the temporary build
ing which hides the District
War Memorial in West Potomac
Park.
The action, taken last week
by the Executive Committee rep
reSenting all the Legion posts
in the District, was disclosed to-
day. 1t backs an earlier call by
the Rev. William B. Adams,
District commander, for the re-
moval of the unsightly tempo"
before the National convention
of the Legion is held here next
August.
Erected in 1912.
The building which the Gov
eminent is asked to raze-
actually listed as four buildings
in one long structure-borders
the south side of the rejecting
pool east of the Lincoln Memo
rial. This structure was put up
in 1912. The War Memorial lies
directly to the south of the
temporary building and cannot
be seen from the rejecting pool.
The resolution adopted by the
Executive Committee follows:
Whereas, the District of Co.
lumbia War Memorial was arect-
ed by the grateful citizens of
Washington in memory of those
who made the supreme sacrifice
for God and Country, and
Whereas, the District of Co.
lumbia World War Memorial and
May Day Corporation of the
American Legion. American Lee
gion Auxiliary, Forty and Eight
and Eighty and Forty was au-
thorized to be incorporated by a
resolution adopted by the 1910
convention of the four organi-
cations named for the purpose of
arranging memorial ohservances
at the District World War Me-
mortal annually in May, and
Whereas, several years later
national emergency necessi-
tated the erection of a temporary
building in the vicinity of the
District of Columbia World War
Memorial which is still classified
as a temporary structure, and
Whereas. it is the belief of
this group that the word TEN
porary' begins to lose it's meaning
after five or 10 years, and
Whereas, the temporary
building obstructs the view of
the District of Columbia War
Memorial and tends to desecrate
the memory of Washington's
heroic dead, and
Whereas, the people of WASH
ington and the thousands of
visitors to our Nations Capital
should have the opportunity to
enjoy the beauty of the memorial
in it's original setting, not now
possible due to the unsightly
tempo which disrupts the SYM
metry of the District of Column
bia Memorial, the park prone
made, the Lincoln Memorial, the
rejecting pool and the immedi-
ate area, and
Whereas, the Department of
the District of Columbia COM
