BERLIN, May 19 P. - A
United States Army private
testified today that Pvt. William
T. Marchuk, 80, Of Norristown,
Pa, acted "pro-Communist"
during their confinement in a
Soviet slave labor camp at
Vorkuta.
The testimony was given
under protest at Pvt. Marchuk's
general court-martial by Pvt.
William A. Verdine, %. Of
Starks, La.
Pvt. Marchuk is being tried on
charges of deSerting to the
Communists in February. 1949,
and of giving the Russians infor-
nation about his West Berlin
intelligence unit. The court was
expected to give its decision
later today.
Asked why he believed Pvt.
Marchuk to be pro-Communist
Pvt. Verdine replied: % HE
said he didn't represent the
United States" ca His general
attitude" 90 IT saw him talking
to a lot of other prisoners
known to be informers."
Pvt. Verdine's testimony was
similar to that given by another
former inmate of Vorkuta, John
H. Noble of Detroit. Pvt. Ver-
dine said he preferred to with
hold his opinions about Pvt.
Marchuk's political beliefs be-
cause he felt that his personal
dislike of the man made him
biased.
He admitted under question:
ing that he had at one time
considered killing Pvt. Marchuk
because he constantly got on his
nerves. He said Marchuk, would
wake up early and disturb the
barracks by shouting and swear
ing.
II think myself it was just
from his nerves." Pvt. Verdine
testified. II heard a lot of peo-
pie ask whether he was crazy"
Pvt. Marchuk was returned to
West Berlin last January 8. Pvt.
Verdine came back January 20.
He has since been tried by an
Army court-martial for being
absent without leave and was
fined 1896, but the sentence was
later set aside.

said much Of CIA's work cannot
be conducted by phone. but must
be by personal visits and courier

The Winkler tract in Alexan-
Idria. the report declared, meets
most Of these criteria. But it
added:
THE chief consideration has
to do with the site itself. In
our considered Judgment, the
lands Of the Winkler tract are
too low in relation to the Shir-
ley highway and to the sur
rounding areas.
I'VE could not possibly rec
