Senate Bloc to Seek U. N. Veto Overhaul Despite Soviet Stand ly tfn Anecwtad Prxi , A potent Senate bloc organ ised today behind a demand for drastic overhaul of the United Nations veto rule—with or with out Russia's consent. While the Soviet Union is not mentioned by name in the draft of a joint resolution to be submitted to the Senate this week, there is no doubt as to the measure’s intent. It calls on and officially authorizes the President to take Immediate steps through this country’s U. N. delegation to revise the world or ganisation's charter. Both Senate and House must ap prove the resolution, but it does not require the President’s signature. Three Aims Cited. Senator Baldwin, Republican, of Connecticut, one of the sponsors, told a - reporter the revisions are aimed at, making it possible for the U. N. to take ‘‘decisive action” to: 1. Prevent wars of aggression. 3. Limit armaments, including atomic and other weapons of mass destruction. 3. Establish an effective interna tional police force to maintain peace in the world. “The United Nations, because of the veto power, can take no action now to stop aggression,” Senator Baldwin declared. To remedy this, the Senate group would eliminate the veto right of the five permanent Security Council members in matters of aggression, armaments for aggression and ad missions to U. N. membership. Used 22 Times by Russia. The so-called big five are Rus sia—which has used the veto 22 times—Prance—which has used it twice—and the United States, Great Britain and China—none of which has restorted to the veto. The resolution would put Con gress on record as proposing that the Charter revision be carried out with the approval of all member states, if possible. But it specifies that if this is not possible, the United States should join with other like-minded states to establish—on the basis of a re vised U. N. Charter—a more effec tive agency for mutual defense with out the participation of the abstain ing state or states. This, In effect, would tell Russia and her satellites either to co operate or get out.

The soldiers then or dered him into the British sector. Wing of Transport Sheared Off. Two German boys and a German man said the Soviet plane had dived under the British plane, then came up underneath. It looked like the Soviet plane was trying to play around with the Brit ish plane,” one of the boys said. When the Soviet fighter came up it swerved into a wing of the trans port and sheared it off, the three witnesses agreed. The transport was reported flying at 500 feet in fair visibility when the crash occurred. MaJ. Michael Davis, a British press relations officer, who ques tioned Germans around the area, said: "The best information seems to be that the British plane was cir cling Catow preparatory to landing when the Russian plane came out of the southwest. It came up under and sheared off a wing. The British plane caught fire. The Russian plane dived straight down.” 13 Soviet 8oldiers on Guard. MaJ. Davis said that although the FIFTY YEARS OF PRIESTHOOD CELEBRATED—The Very Rev. Edward O. Fitzgerald (third from left) today celebrated 50 years as a Dominican priest at the Dominican House of Studies. Others honoring the priest (left to right) are the Very Rev. T. S.

McNamara, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Washington. _ —Star Staff Photo. Father Fitzgerald Celebrates 50th Year as Dominican Priest Fifty years in the priesthood were celebrated today by the Very Rev. Edward O. Fitzgerald at a solemn high mass in the Dominican House of Studies. 487 Michigan avenue N.E. Assisting Father Fitzgerald at the mass was his brother, the Rev. Jeremiah Thomas Fitzgerald, vice president of Providence (R. I.) Col lege. Present at the jubilee celebration were the Most Rev. John T. Mc Nicholas, O. P., Archbishop of Cin cinnati; the Most Rev. John M. Mc Namara. vicar general of the Arch diocese of Washington, and the Very Rev. T. S. McDermott, provincial of the St. Joseph’s Province of the Dominican Order. In addition to Father Jeremiah Fitzgerald, two other brothers of Father Fitzgerald, John Dillon Fitz gerald and Joseph Fitzgerald, and three sisters, the Misses Mary B., Theresa A. and Kathleen D. Fitz gerald, all of Washington, were pres ent. Pope Sends Message. A message of congratulations on Father Fitzgerald's completion of his 50 years as a priest was sent by Pope Pius XI and read at the mass by the Very Rev. Ignatius Smith, O. P., dean of the School of Philoso phy at Catholic University. “Father Fitzgerald,” Father Smith Russian fighter landed In the Brit ish sector 13 Soviet soldiers sur rounded the area and at first re fused to allow any one to approach. British Maj. Gen. E. O. Herbert arrived then, however, and ordered the Russians back into the Soviet sector, except for one to stand guard. British soldiers were posted about the area. Maj. Davis said the Russians then declared that since they could have only one guard over the fighter the British could have only one over the transport; Later the Russians allowed an RAF work party to enter and take the bodies from the transport. Most were broken and burned. Krupp (Continued From First Page.) is the son of Gustav Krupp, who was known as the German cannon king. The elder Krupp was too ill to he tried. Big Krupp factories concentrated in the Ruhr supplied huge amounts of arms for the Nazi army—Just as they had for the Kaiser’s armies in the war of 1914-1918. The prosecution had contended the Krupp leaders tried to rebuild a powerful, warlike Germany with themselves as the center of its arms industries. The trial started December 8. < The co-defendants are Ewald Loeser, Eduard Houdremont, Erich Mueller, Frederlch Janssen, Karl Pfirsch, Max Ihn, Karl Eberhardt, Heinrich Korrschan, Friedrich von Buelow, Werner Lehmenn and Hans Kupke. < Lincoln f Continued From First Page.) first bid for & presidential nomina tion in 1940. He played a big part in Gov. Dewey’s clean sweep of the State's 34 delegates that year, over the Vandenberg candidacy. Stassen Supporters Confident. Because of the many complicated factors in tomorrow’s election, how ever, it is by no means wise to count the New York Governor out —certainly until the great mass of votes have been counted. The cockiest group of the lot is that supporting Mr. Stassen—and Mr. Stassen himself expresses great confidence that they will win a majority of the delegates —certainly 14 if not more. They speak of Gov. Dewey as already politically defunct in this State and picture him running a poor third, with Mr. Stassen and Gen. Mac Arthur dividing almost all, if not all, of the delegates. It may be re called that the Stassen claim in the New Hampshire primary last month was a majority of the 8 delegates elected there. It wound up Dewey 6 and Stassen 3. The Wisconsin primary has be come the first early major test of presidential candidates. If Gen. MacArthur should make a clean sweep tomorrow his candidacy would go soaring, and many of the king makers in Washington and 8tate declared in his speech, “has en deared himself to us as a great teacher, as a master of sacred theol ogy and of the Scriptures. He is a superb teacher because he has never stopped learning.” A native of Washington, Father Fitzgerald attended St. Dominic’s School and 8$. John’s College here. He entered the Dominican Order in 1802 and was ordained at St. Mary’s of the Springs. Columbus, Ohio, on April 5, 1808, by the Most Rev. John A. Watterson, Bishop of Columbus. He later took advanced study at St. Stephen's in Jerusalem. Returned in 1005. Father Fitzgerald returned to Washington in 1005 as professor of sacred scripture at the new Domin ican House, subsequently serving two terms, 1018 to 1022, as prior there. He served as instructor of sacramental theology at Catholic University from 1022 to 1925 and as associate professor of theology from 1925 to 1933. After serving as regent of studies of the St. Joseph Dominican Prov ince from 1933 to 1939, he returned to Catholic University as dean of the School of Sacred Theology. He retired in 1941 and resumed teach ing at the Ekjminican House, where he now is teacher of a class in Holy Scripture. capitals would be pained. Should Gen. MacArthur take less than half of the delegates his campaign might as well fold up. It would be similar to Senator Taft’s losing more than half of the Ohio dele* gation in its political effect. It would hurt the chances of Gov. Dewey and Mr. Stassen much less if either or both of them lost the Wisconsin delegation to the favorite son candidate, Gen. Mac Aruthur. They would, in .a meas ure, have a good alibi. But If Gov. Dewey divides the delegation with Gen. MacArthur, leaving Mr. Stassen with one or two or none, the Minnesotan 'would be in the dog house. Should Mr. Stassen and Gen. MacArthur take all the dele gates, shutting Mr. Dewey out, his candidacy would take a body blow from which it might not recover. In some measures, therefore, both Gov. Dewey and Mr. Stassen fight for their political lives here. Psychological Effect Seen. The psychological effect of the results in Wisconsin’s primary on the coming Nebraska presidential prferential primary may be ma terial. All three of the candidates here are entered in Nebraska too, along with four other Republican “possibilities.’’ Whatever the final count shows in the primary here, neither Gov. Dewey nor Mr. Stassen is expected to do a “Wilkie” and withdraw from the presidential race. Mr. Stassen, who is back in the State today for last speech or two, said he would continue his campaign for the nomination regardless of the Wisconsin outoome. In his view, his fortunes will be determined not by the Wisconsin primary alone, but by what happens in the Nebraska, Ohio and Oregon primaries, April 13, May 4 and May 31 respectively. Gov. Dewey certainly will not step aside, even if he is snowed under in Wisconsin. The New York governor came to Wisconsin last week knowing that he had a fight on his hands. He left still knowing it—and not en couraged. His reception in the State, however, was good. A great deal of interest has arisen over this primary struggle, and a large vote is expected—perhaps 600,000 or 700,000. Many Democrats may cross over the vote in the Re publican primary, for there is little interest in the Democratic contest, where only Truman delegates are entered. There is a suspicion that many of these Democrats will cast their ballots for Gen. MacArthur or Mr. Dewey. • 28 Ytors Old Today Peter Borrsi, Host end Founder of the Madrillon wiahet to thank hie thousand* of friends for mak ing the Madrillon so successful dur ing the pest 28 years 1 And Chef Mag gie’s magic with the menu ha* been a feature for - 28 years, too!

The principal negotiation meeting scheduled was that between Philij Murray, president of both the CIO and Steelworkers Union, and United States Steel Corp. Other companiei arranged to meet with the union elsewhere. Although no speciflec figure has been mentioned, the steelworkers notified 600 steel firms recently that “a substantial wage increase" would be sought for 600,000 of the union’s 850,000 members. Other unionists will be covered in latex sessions. The major “big steel" producing units will be represented in the meetings with United States Steel Corp. All United States Steel sub sidiaries, they are Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., National Tube Co., American Steel and Wire Co., Ten nessee Coal, Iron & Railroad Columbia Steel and Geneva 8teel, The steel worker’s union last Thursday notified 86 basic steel producers and hundreds of fabri cating firms that the union intended to take advantage of clauses in the current two-year contract to re open wage negotiations. Hie present contract, which is identical for all the major com panies, does not expire until next spring, with a no-strike clause. Either side may request a re-open ing of wage discussions, however, after April l, 1948, with negotiations continuing for 30 days. If no agree ment is reached then, present wage scales remain In effect until the pact expires. Steel workers now average about $1.50 an hour. 24-Ounce Baby Girl Is Born in England Sy th« Associated Press NORWICH, England, April 5.—A 24-ounce baby girl was doing nicely today at Jenny Lind Children’s Hos pital.

BALLAHD New Radar Equipment Planned Hereto Help Flyers in Bad Weather Improved radar equipment to facilitate landings in bad weather will be installed at National Airport and seven other major airports in a move toward greater safety and smoother schedules, the Civil Aero nautics Administration said today. * The equipment here will replace converted military eats now in use. One of the chief improvements is elimination from the screen of all but moving target*. Thus, when CAA crews in control towers ?talk down" planes on the ground control approach, they win not be hampered by a ground clutter of buildings such as flow appear on screens. '«? The eight installations will consist of two units each and will cost a total of |PAM,112. One is a pre cision,beam. or OCA, along which the radar operators can guide tKS pilot through overcast to a safe landing. The other is a regulation search unit, with a radius of 35 miles and an altitude of 10,000 feet. Another use for the OCA will be to monitor pilots using the instru ment-lending system, new installed at about 45 airports. Radar opera ton can determine if the pilot ip following the "gild* path" to the runway. Pint of the new sets will be in stalled at Los Angeles In about a year. The sets will replace old Installations at New York and Chi cago, aa well as here, and will be introduced to Cleveland, St Louis, Ail ante and Boston. Coal (Continued From First Fage.l the union would toe in contempt at court unless, the strike is ended. An interesting pert of the re straining order is that it brushed aside Mr, Lewis' argument that ' neither he nor any other union of ficer told the men to quit work. The order stated only that a strike affecting the national health and welfare was in progress and ordered the UMW officers and the union, not to permit it to continue. Whether contempt fines could be assessed against the UMW’s fat treasury regardless of the efforts of the officers to comply with the re straining order was a question for the court to decide if it arises. ’• Unlimited Penalties. Since the action against the coal strike is a civil one, attorneys point ed out that the size of penalties which may be levied for violation are unlimited. Any further court action which may come up, whether a move by Mr. Lewis to dissolve the order or a citation for contempt, will appar ently come before Justice T. Alan Goldsborough. He is the judge who fined Mr. Lewis and the union $3, 510,000 for ignoring a similar order in December, 1946. The Supreme Court, in upholding Justice Golds borough’s decision, reduced the fines to $710,000. Justice Goldsborough began a three-month turn in District Mo tions Court today. He may, how ever, assign the case to another judge if he chooses. . In obtaining the restraining order from Justice McGuire Saturday night the Justice Department also 1 petitioned tor a preliminary ipjuncr tion against the strike. 'Arguments on that request will be heard April 13, again presumably, by Justice Goldsborough. The McGuire order expires a day later. $32,6$$,$$$ In Fund. An argument over use of the UMW welfare and retirement fund brought on the coal strike March 15. The fund, provided by the 1947 industry contract, is raised by a 10 cents per ton levy on all coal produced. It has not been touched and now totals about $32,000,000. Mr. Lewis demanded a $100 monthly pension for all UMW mem bers in the soft coal industry who have reached 60 years of age and who have worked in the mines at ; least 20 years. Operators, led by , Ezra Van Horn, their trustee for the fund, argued the Lewis pension plan would exceed income of the fund and leave nothing for death benefits, payments for illness, hospitalization and disability as provided in the ’ contract. 1 Preliminary report of actuaries, ' including experts of the Federal 1 Security Agency, tended to bear out the arguments of the operators. Today the mine owners reported . that their final actuarial study of 1 the welfare fund had been com ! pleted. They said it gives the cost of any combination of benefits which ■ may be paid the miners, including > pensions of various types. The op • erators believe the completed study ■ will facilitate agreement when they ’ meet next with Mr. Lewis. i When the two sides do get to i getber there was th€ possibility that Mr. Lewis will demand an entirely t new contract, including higher i wages and a much higher "take” ■ for the welfare fund. The present l contract expires June 30, but may ! be reopened by either side on 30 days’ notice. Gromyko to Boycott Palestine Trusteeship Session in New York Am abb LAKE SUCCESS, April *.—Andrei A.
