He previously estimated that one

add that weather conditions between

that Mr.. Poujade always had
promised to keep the movement

promises by entering candidates
in the January legislative elec-

Army Wins TesI
On Civil Trials
Star staf Correspondent

A new ruling by the Court OF
Military Appeals has given the
armed services fresh backing in
their claimed trial jurisdiction
over civilians living or working
lat military posts abroad.
Two conflicting Federal Court
decisions on the issue, both in
Ivolving murder convictions
against wives of service person.
mel, are already before the Su-
'preme Court.
The military appeals panel
highest tribunal for court-mar-
tial caSes-yesterday upheld the
conviction of Charles F.. Burney
on assault charges in connection
with the shooting of John l..
Clark, a fellow civilian technician
at johnson Air Force Base in
Japan.
Mr.. Clark was seriously
wounded on December 90, 1854,
when he was struck by a bullet
fired from a revolver held by Mr..
Burney in a type of Russian
roulette" Mr.. Buruey, an en-
ploye of the Philco Television g.
Radio Corp, was fined $750 in
place of a 12-month Jail SEN
tence. According to records, he
now works for Philco at Carswell
Air Force Base in Texas.
In its decision in the Burney
case, the Appeals Court held that
civilian workers come under a
clause of the 1850 Uniform Code
of Military Justice which con-
fers on armed service authorities
jurisdiction over "all persons
serving with. employed by, or
accompanying the armed forces"
overseas.
The court said further that
"the discipline, morale, repu7e
and success of the service will
be injured" unless there is some
military control over civilians at
overseas bases.

Liberty Statue
.ToGet Review

The Interior Department,
after debating for years the
adequacy Of its new Liberty
monument at the Yorktown
(Va) Revolutionary battlefield,
has ordered a final review OF
the controversy.
On the review hinges Sculptor
1Oskar j. w. Hansen's last-ditch
effort in a long fight to force
the Government to replace a
Il00-foot tower which will hold
the Liberty statue he has cre-
lated.
Decapitated by Lightning
The original Liberty, a IA
foot high female form with
arms outstretched, was decapi-
Itated years ago by lightning
bolts. In 1949, Interior hired
Mr.. Hansen to chisel' replace
Iment.
! But the more he chiseled. the
more convinced he became that
the 100-foot monument shaft
itself also should be replaced
Not only was it cracked and un-
safe, he charged, it was ugly.
| Mr.. Hansen's complaints
brought round after round of
investigation. The issue ap-
lpeared settled when a team of
Government experts pronounced
the tower safe, and Interior set
a date next month for bids to
repair the shaft.
Makes Final Plea
| But this week the Norwegian
born sculptor visited Interior
Secretary Mckay and made a
final plea.
Mr.. Mckay yesterday instruc-
tied Assistant Secretary Wesley
A. D'Ewart and Conrad L. Wirth,
National Park Service chief, to
take another look.
1--WE didn't get any specific in
structions,' Mr.. D'Ewart said.

look at the whole situation and
see if there was anything that
could be done to make Mr.. Han

Unfair Taxes
Hit by Parker

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 81
(P.-Contlnuing high and un-
fair" taxation and the growing
power Of labor unions" consti-
tute threat to American busi-
ness, Cola G. Parker, president
of the National Association OF
Manufacturers, says.
Mr.. Parker. in a speech at the
Commonwealth Club yesterday,
said outside of the field of for
eign relations. the tax system
and labor union power are the
two factors that stand out most
Importantly in our national
life" He added:
"For business they constitute
two massive, closing millstones
that could, in time, crush out
the spark and spirit of our eco
nomic life.
"The AFL-CIO, newly merged
into one body of is million
members, is bolder, more bla-
tant, more determined than ever
in its grab for political power.
"Our grossly inequitable ano
highly discriminatory income
taxes drain off more and more OF
what could be risk investment
capital and force businessmen to
put greater and greater reliance
on bank credits or other borrow
ings."
Mr.. Parker emphasized nothing
he said was to be interpreted as
.anti-labor" or as union bust
ing" Labor unions 'have an un-
deniable right to exist" but also
ian equally undeniable duty to
function constructively." he said.
He then charged "today's So
called labor leaders, in their
political activities, are not leading
anything or anybody but their
own cliques bent on personal
political and economic power
grabs"
The union Bosses" he said,
"are much more concerned with
social-political activities than
they are in wages, hours, working
conditions and status"
