The Idea, it was explained, was
simply to make available to Mr.
Hoffman a list of men from which
he could draw for his division heads
and major consultant posts, once he
his decided on how to set up ECA.
Suggestions for Agencies.
Suggestions, funneled through the
State Department, have come from
practically all Government agncies
as well as from members of Congress.
All were handed to Mr. Hoffman
without recommendation.
One top Government official com
mented that the ERP law is so
broad that Mr. Hoffman can “bor
row, transfer or swipe” the people
he needs from any Government
agency.
. Mr. Hoffman has said, however,
•that he intends to run the new
Agency with “the smallest possible
eetup to do the job.” He plans to
'permit other agencies to carry on
parts of the program they are al
ready handling tinder preWous aid

Speculation on possible ap
pointees for the deputy post has
included the names of Ferdinand
Eberstadt, New York banker who
served here during the war, and
Richard F. Allen, former Red Cross
official who directed the winter re
lief programs in France, Italy and
Austria. Mr. Allen has been warmly
praised by Senate Republican lead
ers for his handling Off that job.
Stillwell Not Available.
Among State Department officials,
who have been working on the ERP
program and who might be called
on by Mr. Hoffman are Paul Nitze
deputy director of the Office of In
ternational Trade Policy; George H.
McGhee, head of the Greek-Turkish
aid program, and Charles P. Kindle
barger, former head of State's Ger
man Economic Division.
Another official who had been
mentioned, James A. Stilwell, said
today he expects soon to leave the
Government and will not be avail
able. He formerly directed the food
conservation drive and has helped
in ERP planning.
Meanwhile, diplomatic inform
ants said the State Department

fight against Communist propa
ganda in Europe by setting up a

John Foster Dulles, a leading

to include Spain was knocked out!
before ERP was finally enacted into
law.
Mr. Lovett said State Department
opposition was expressed by con

Rosenwald Decries 'Abuse*
Of Truman on Holy Land
NEW YORK, April 8 (P).—Lessing
J. Rosenwald, president of the
American Council for Judaism, who
favors a Palestine trusteeship in
stead of partition, says there should
be an end to “abuse” of President
Truman and other officials for their
policy on the Holy Land.
The council has opposed the crea
tion of a Jewish state since its
organization five years ago, Mr.
Rosenwald said last night in a radio
broadcast.
Calling for the United Nations to
abandon its plan for partition of
Palestine into Jewish and Arab
states and to substitute a U. N. trus
teeship, Mr. Rosenwald defended the
current United States stand for
trusteeship, and said:
“The time has come to put an end
to the abuse of. and political threats
against, the President of the United
States, the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of Defense, who are
acting on an infinitely complex
problem in accordance with their

the Allied air corridor to Berlin.
His communication was the latest
interchange between Russia and the
western powers since the Soviet
military administration instituted
rules April 1 restricting Allied rail
road traffic trough the Soviet zone
i between Berlin and the western
I zones.
Western sources have interpreted
these rules as an attempt to squeeze
the Western Allies out of Berlin.
The Russians have agreed to a
four-power meeting to clarify the
restrictions, but no date has been
set.
Assurances Asked.
Marshal Sokolovsky's letter said:
"I hope that you will give neces
sary assurances over strict observ
ance by British planes of flight
regulations laid down by the Al
lied Control Council. ,
“That would relieve me of the
necessity to take measures for the
protection of the safety of air traf
fic over the Soviet occupation zone
of Germany and especially over the
Soviet airport in the Berlin air
area.”
He did not say how he planned
to protect such traffic. It w’as as

planes.
Escorts Abandoned.
Both Gen. Robertson and Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, American military
governor and commander, threat

planes to Berlin with fighters un

After Marshal Sokolovsky said he
regretted the accident, they decided
against this.

Sokolovsky had promised to do away
with Soviet secret arrest and trial
of Germans. He did so, it reported.

New Wave of Arrests.
Dispatches in Berlin's Socialist
press this morning said a new wave
of arrests against anti-Communists
was being conducted in the Rus

The dispatches said the Russians
were taking extraordinary measures
to calm a population made nervous
by recent aggravated differences

In all, seven names will appear
on the GOP ballot, those of Gov.

Gen. MacArthur, Gov. Warren of

Michigan and House Speaker Mar

The results of the preferential
balloting will not be binding, how

Although Gov. Dewey was shut
out completely in Wisconsin, he still
leads in the national race to date.

Senator Vandenberg, who has said
he does not want the nomination, is
third with Michigan's 41. Of the

Taft Stresses Preparedness.
Senator Taft wound up his Ne

emphasis on the preparedness
theme he stressed in most or his

Mysterious Slaying
Of Maryland Nurse in
Florida Still Unsolved
, By th« Associated Pres*
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 8.—
The mystery surrounding the slaying
of the 37-year-old resident nurse at
Bolles Military School remained un
solved today.
County ir.vesti
gators, after
working all day
and into the
night talking to
school officials
and questioning
employes, said
there were no
developments in
the death of Mrs.
Fred W. Lewis,
the former Anna
E. Radcliffe, of
St. Michaels, Md.
Firemen found
her scantly mm. Fred L*»i».
clothed body on the floor of her
bedroom in her infirmary quarter*
after they had put out a Are shortly
after noon Tuesday.
Kerosene Scattered in Room.
Bed clothing had been piled over
the body, kerosene scattered about
the place and set afire, Sheriff Rex
Sweat said. There was a deep gash
over one eye and investigators said
the blow had killed her.
The bedding prevented burning of
the body with exception of one of
the ankles.
Her husband, found in Panama
City, Fla., yesterday morning by
highway patrolmen, returned to
Jacksonville late yesterday, accom
panied by his brother, Mac Lewis,
of Bessemer, Ala.
The Alabama man said his broth
er, a salesman for an Atlanta
beauty shop supply company, had
no statement to make.
Deore Apparently Locked.
Sheriff Sweat said the only two
doors to the infirmary and to Mrs.
Lewis’ apartment apparently were
locked when firemen arrived. The
first to enter the small one-story
building only a short distance from
the St. Johns River had to force
the doors, the sheriff said.
Mrs. Lewis apparently had moved
freely about her quarters shortly
before being slain, he said. An elec
tric iron and a burner on a stove
were turned on.
Bolles School, for boys of high
school age, is in the midst of spring
vacation and most of the student
body of more than 300 was away.
State Attorney William A. Hal
lowes III said Mrs. Lewis had been
married once before and that her
name then was Mrs. Sam Jones.
He said he knew nothing else about
that part of her life.
Barrett to Tell Police Chiefs
Of Awards System Here
A description of how outstanding

Maj. Barrett planned to go to
New York today for a committee
meeting of the police chiefs. He
said he had received a request from
the association’s publication to bring
with him the details on the monthly
awards so chiefs all over the coun
try can read about them.
The system of recognizing out

in contempt and "punished” for
ignoring the McGuire back-to-work
order.
The action brings charges of both
civil and criminal contempt against
the defendants, and If there is con
viction, any penalties, including
heavy fines and jail, may be as
sessed within the discretion of the
court.
Mr. Lewis accepted a copy of the
contempt action within two hours
after it was issued.
Legality of Order Challenged.
Mr. Lewis has made no move to
end the strike since issuance last
Saturday of the McGuire order. But,
shortly before Justice Goldsborough
signed the contempt papers, his at
torney moved that the court dismiss
the McGuire order on the grounds
that it is unlawful and unconstitu
tional. They argued the 400,000
miners quit work as free individuals
because they have not received the
pensions promised in their contract.
On Monday, Justice Goldsborough
will be confronted with these major
actions: ^
1. The Lewis challenge to the
McGuire order.
2. If it is legal, should it be ex
tended to the full 80 days provided
by the Taft-Hartley Act and re
quested by the Justice Department.
3. Whether Mr. Lewis and the
union are in contempt for failing to
obey the McGuire order.
If the miners and Mr. Lewis fail
to "purge” or clear themselves of
the contempt charges a trial will be
held Wednesday.
Charles O’Neill, spokesman for the
operators, backing up Mr. Moody in
his fight to attend the UMW-oper
ators conference, said: \
"The UMW not only wants to send
their own selected negotiators to
this conference, but also wants to
select the coal operators. Well not
stand for that.”
The Government at the same time
went forward with plans to order
a second 25 per cent cut in both
passenger and freight service by
coal-burning railroads if the strike
extends into next week.
That appeared almost inevitable
today. Already nearly 25,000 hard
coal miners in Pennsylvania have
joined the walkout with Indications
that the sympathy strike might
spread further. At least 582,000
workers are idle in the coal and re
lated industries.

125'Clergymen Urge
Defeat of Draft, UMT
A group of 125 ministers, meeting
as individuals at the Washington
City Church of the Brethren, last
night called on Congress to defeat
the selective service and universal
militau' training bills as threats to
militarize the Nation.
The clergymen, here from many
parts of the country to discuss
American foreign policy with politi
cal leaders, represented 15 Protes
tant denominations. The confer
ence call was signed by the Rev.
Paul N. Poling of Philadelphia,
Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A.;
E. Raymond Wilson of Washington,
Friends Committee on National
Legislation; the Rev. Donald B.
Cloward of New York, Northern
Baptist Convention, and Dr.

The ministers also urged Con
gress to take ‘immediate action to
oppose efforts to put the United
States on a wartime basis and to
restore to civilian leadership the
policy-making powers of the Gov
ernment.”
Support of the United Nations was
voted by the group, as well as a reso
lution urging control of atomic en
ergy through the U. N. The clergy
men farther advocated use of the
U. N. in carrying through the Euro
pean Recovery Program.
Dr. Ralph W. Sockman of New

“We set out from* Prague and I
thought we were going along all
right to Bratislava. Suddenly one
of the passengers—a man named

if I knew where we were.
“ I said I didn’t, and he said,
‘well, we 'are over Munich and we

“Then we came down in Munich
and the Americans came and asked
us who was going to stay and who

Visas for Return Issued.
When the plane landed at Neu

Mr. Dvorak said he had Issued
visas for the return of the six who
elected to go back to Prague.
The six are billeted in Munich
by American authorities and are
expected to return to Prague soon.
Mi. Dvorak said. The other 20

Mr. Dvorak said the transport

Strike Aids Exchanges,
Schram Says, Seeing
Lasting Cuts in Costs
iy tfo# Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 8.—Emil
Schram* president of the New York
Stock Exchange, said today emer
gency strike methods may result in
permanent savings for the exchange.
He included the statement in a
report on the strike of AFL United
Financial Employes against the New
York Stock and Curb Exchanges
and four brokerage houses.
Operation of the stock exchange
under strike conditions, he said, has
increased efficiency and reduced op
erating costs.
He did not go into details of the
operations, but said the exchange’s
Board of Oovemprs will discuss
making them permanent at the
weekly meeting.
The 10th day of the strike
brought continued orderly picketing
and brokers said operations re
mained near normal.
Statements indicated the man
agement and union were at an im
passe on union security. This and
wages are major issues.
Mr. Schram said the number of
workers on the floor of the exchange
has reached 517, compared with a
low of 463 when the walkout be
gan. Of the present total, he added,
104 are employes represented by
the union.
Union spokesmen said in leaflets
“more and more people are showing
disgust with management’s attitude,
and are joining the picket lines."
Those who have returned to work,
the union commented, are persons
who have taken 10 days to summon
courage to cross picket lines.

1935 Murder Suspect Faces
Return to North Carolina
Police from Winston-Salem, N. C.,
were expected in Alexandria today
to take custody of a Veterans’ Ad-f
ministration chauffeur wanted in I
the North Carolina city for trial!
on a charge of murder in 1935.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga
tion said the man’s identity was
established during a routine Gov
ernment loyalty check. He was
booked as Joseph Robert Peterkin,
30, colored, of the 400 block of South
Royal street, Alexandria.
Peterkin is wanted in connection
with the dfath of another colored
man, struck on the head by a hurled
brick in a street brawl. ' ,
During the war Peterkin was sta
tioned at Fort Belvoir and served
as a military policeman in Alex
andria, where he was absolved of
blame for fatally shooting another
soldier during a tavern disturbance.
There was no official explanation
of why Peterkin’s fingerprints—
taken at the time of induction, dis
charge and application for the VA
job—failed to reveal him to be the
man wanted in Winston-Salem.
Maryland G. 0. P. Sees
MacArthur Out of Race ,
By th* Associated Frost
BALTIMORE, April 8.—Several
Maryland Republican leaders ex
pressed the opinion today that Gen.
Douglas MacArthur’s showing in the
Wisconsin primary dealt a blow to
his chances lor the presidential
nomination.
On the other hand, Tim Bright,
head of the State MacArthur-for
President group, said he considered
the general’s demonstration ‘‘a vic
tory.” *
He contrasted the “powerful or
ganization and financial means” of
Gov. Dewey and Harold E. Stassln
with the group of “enthusiastic am
ateurs” who were backing Gen. Mac
Arthur.
But Galen Tait, chairman of the
Republican State Central Commit

aspect of the Wisconsin primary is
the surprising failure of MacArthur
in his own home State.
“I think this pretty well disposes
of MacArthur as a serious candidate
