Bauman Also Is
Planning to Use

President Truman today or

District policemen turned over tc
the Senate District Crime Sub
committee.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short said the President asked

him to inform the press that an
executive order releasing the in
come tax returns of any witnesses
called before the investigating
committee would be issued before
Mr. Truman leaves for Key West
tomorrow'.
The President plans to sign the
executive order at Key West after
it has been checked by the Treas
ury Department and the Justice
Department. It will be several
days before the tax returns ac
tually are made available to crime
committee investigators, it was
pointed out.
Bauman Is Pleased.
“I am really pleased about it—
I’m very happy.” said Arnold
Bauman, counsel for the investi
gating committee. He added he
would make “almost immediate
use "of the authority to look at
tax returns and jointed out he
would call for the income tax re

gamblers and other racketeers—
as well as policemen.
Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee last Friday
asked the President to order "rele
vant” income tax returns released
to the committee after Maj.
Robert J. Barrett, superintendent
of police obtained a temporary
injunction blocking answers to a
lengthy financial questionnaire
sent out by the Crime Investigat
ing Committee.
Compromise Proposed.
The President acted today while
Commissioner Young and Attor
ney Daniel Maher, called back
from private practice to act in
his old role of “trouble-shooter,”
trial unsuccessfully to reach a
compromise with Maj. Barrett’s
attorneys to stave off a court test

Commissioners directed the Cor

Maj. Barrett’s suit for a perma

Attorneys Charles E. Ford and
Austin Canfield. Maj. Barrett’s at

police chief’s suit yesterday if the
questionnaire was rewritten to
drop questions directed at wives
and children of policemen, were
called to the District Building
shortly after Police Commissioner
J. Russell Young reached his
office this morning.
The police chief s attorneys
made their compromise proposal
after they were summoned to a
board meeting of the Commis
sioners late yesterday.
Mr. Bauman was not invited to
today’s conference, but he said he
had not changed his mind and
would not yield on the suggestion
that the questionnaire omit in
quiries into the financial standing
of policemen's wives and children.
“That is the obvious repository
of any one attempting to conceal
their financial standing,” Mr. Bau

13 Judges Ask Supreme Court
To Reconsider Bondsman Case
Lawyer Uses Carter Decision as Basis
In Move to Force Hearing on Practice Ban
District Court judges, making
still another attempt to have the
Supreme Court rule on their right
to refuse bondsmen’s licenses with
out hearings, today were faced by
a demand that they give an open
hearing to a lawyer they refused
to admit to practice here.
In an unprecedented move, Ho
mer Brooks, law clerk to Municipal
Court Chief Judge George P.
Barse, late yesterday asked the
United States Court of Appeals to
order District Court to tell him
why he has been denied admis
sion to the District Court bar.
i His petition was filed at about
the same time that 13 of the 15
District Court judges announced
they would ask the Supreme Court
to reconsider its refusal of Octo
ber 22 to review an appeals coifrt
decision in favor of John W. Car
ter.
The appeals court held last July
that District Court can not legally
refuse to renew Mr. Carter's li
cense, as it did in November. 1949,
unless it holds a hearing and tells
him in detail why it believes he
lacks proper qualifications.
The same basic issue is involved
in the Carter case relating to is
suance and renewal of bonds
men's licenses by District Court
judges and in the Brooks case
concerning District Court refusal
to permit lawyers to practice in
that court.
Mr. Carter twice has won the
support of the appellate court,
which handed down split decisions
each time, in his deihand for an
open hearing on his qualifications.
Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court
backed him to all practical pur
poses. when it refused to review
the appellate court ruling.
But in the latest development
of the four-year-old controversy,
Attorney William E. Leahy said
yesterday that on behalf of 13 of
the 15 District Court Judges he
will petition the Supreme Court
to reconsider its decision to review
the Carter case.
Mr. Leahy said he will argue

Property at Half Price

South Capitol street wholesale
grocery Arm, were accused today
of stealing huge quantities of food
from their former employer and
selling it to the Ann's retail cus
tomers at half price.
Police said the four—picked up
as they were unloading their latest
haul at the home of a southwest
grocer last night—have admitted
about 11 lootings of the Union
Wholesale Grocery Co., Inc., 1330
South Capitol street, which may
have netted them between $10,000
and $15,000 worth of groceries
since last July 11.
Their arrest set off an all-night
police roundup w’hich so far has
netted six retail grocers. All six
were charged with receiving stolen
property.
Used Price Lists.
In quoting their cut-rate prices,
police said, the quartet used price
lists sent to grocers by Union
Wholesale. They compared the
goods they had on hand with
the printed price lists, and made
a 50 per cent markoff.
The four middle-men in the
scheme, each charged with one
count of housebreaking and grand
larcency, were:
John T. Ford. 26, of the 5300
block of James place N.E.: Horace
T. Nelson, 22 ,of the 1300 block of
Monroe street N.W., Willie J.
Newsom, 27, of the 2300 block of
Eighteenth street N.W., and

teenth street N.W.; James H.
Kitahara, 1100 block of Twenty
third street N.W., and Louis Fut
terman and Morris Weisfeld, 300
block of Q street N.W.
At an arraignment today,
United States Commissioner Cyril
S. Lawrence set bond at $1,000 for
each of the 10 persons. The four
robbery suspects pleaded not
guilty and waived a preliminary
hearing. The case against the
six owners of the four grocery
stores was postponed until No
vember 28.
Spotted by Police.
The quartet of former employes,
police said, were spotted by officers
in a Fourth Precinct scout car
about 10:30 p.m. last night, as
they were unloading groceries at
the home of Rosso in the 600 block
of G street S.W. Police recovered
about $800 worth of food.
Sam Weinstein, co-owner of the
wholesale firm, told a reporter hi:
warehouse contains a stock valued
at $250,000, and that missing food
can be determined only by ex
tensive inventories.

New GWU Treatment
Reduces Big Cancers
To Allow Operation
Nitrogen Mustard,
Drug Help in Apparent
Cure of Two Patients
By Wallace E. Clayton
A new treatment which shows
promise of being able to reduce
inoperable cancers to a size which
will allow their removal w-as re
ported today by Dr. Calvin Klopp,
dir ector of the George Washington
University Cancer Cinic.
Dr. Klopp told of treatment of
inoperable cancers with a combi
nation of nitrogen mustard and
aureomycin. In a report prepar ed
for delivery today to the American
College of Surgeons at San Fran
cisco, Dr. Klopp said tumors in
two patients were reduced to a
size permitting removal after
treatment by the combined drug.
Both patients, he added, are now
back at work and show no evi
dence of further cancer.
The tumors were “bathed" over
a period of time by the drugs
w’hich were injected by arterial
cannulization. In this method,
developed at the GW clinic, a
tube is inserted directly into an
artery near the malignancy. The
tube can be kept in place for a
long period of time and the reg
ular dosage administered through
it.
Dr. Klopp said that in addition
to the two cases in which huge
tumors were reduced to operable
size, 30 advanced cancer patients
undergoing nitrogen mustard -
aureomycin treatment had ob
tained symptomatic improvement.
He said research proved the aureo
mycin added to the nitrogen mus
tard was more effective than
treatment wfith nitrogen mustard
alone.
Dr. Klopp said relief of pain
was a most prominent feature in
cases where pain was due to pres
ence of the disease in the treated
region only.
He said the combined drug do
sage, given along with radiation
therapy, should be halted when
changes are detected in the pa
tient’s bone marrow.
Dr. Klopp reported that post
operative examination of the re
moved tumors in the two cases
showed the malignant cells had
been markedly reduced.

In Party Tests
Republicans Take Four
House Contests for
Gain 6f One Seat
By Gould Lincoln
Despite their loss of the mayor-i
alty fight in Philadelphia, the
Republicans appeared to have the
better in the party contests scat
tered over the Nation yesterday.
They took from the Democrats
the 3d congressional district of
Ohio, which include Dayton and
which was carried by the Demo
crats in 1950, and held three other
House seats, two in Pennsylvania
and one in New Jersey, where elec
tions were held to fill vacancies
in Congress.
They won the mayoralty con
test in Indianapolis — ousting a:
Democrat—in the home town of
the new Democratic national
chairman, Prank E. McKinney,
who took an active part in the
fight. And for the first time in
64 years, the Republicans elected
a Mayor in Little Rock. Ark.
Clean Government Issue.
"Clean government” was the is
sue in many of the city elections
—an issue which the Republicans
will raise aganist the Truman
Democrats in the campaign next
year. And clean government won
yesterday in New York, Philadel
phia and other major municipali
ties.
The result in New York, the
country's largest city, came in the
election of Rudolph Halley as
president of the City Council. Mr.
Halley was chief counsel of the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee when it was headed by
Senator Kefauver, and he ran as
the Liberal-Independent-City Fu
sion candidate. The Democratic
candidate. Joseph T. Sharkey, a
member of the council who has
been its acting president, was de

Democratic.
The Democratic victory in Phil
adelphia was expected. Joseph F.
Clark, jr., the present city con
troller, ran as the Democratic
candidate for Mayor on a "throw
the rascals out” issue. He was
supported by the strongly Repub
lican Philadelphia Inquirer, and
defeated Dr. Daniel A. Poling, in

ister and chaplain of the Chapel
of Four Chaplains, the Republi

Boy, 11, Proves Skill as Trapper
In Capture of Roaming Monkey
By Harry Lever
It took Billy McEntee a week
to catch the Southeast’s errant

read up on what monkeys eat.
They then dreamed up a trap
that would put Frank Buck to
shame. Involving a rope and a
pulley, it was so complicated than
even the man who told the story
couldn't eliminate the technical

Once they found that the mon

especially a room which contained
switches for the master lights, the
boys rigged their trap over a win

window.
After a week of wearily pulling
the rope from their position on an
elevated terrace, thereby opening
and closing the window at inter

trap worked last night, with Billy
making the fateful pull.
The boys then looked through
the window, more through habit
than hope—and there was Pal.

3 Bandits Get $97,000
At Milwaukee Bank
By the Associated Press
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 7.—Three
men, two armed with submachine
guns, held up a branch bank on
Milwaukee’s Northwest Side dur
ing a heavy snowstorm today and
escaped with an estimated $97,000.
The trio entered the bank in
midmorning, according to police
and Manager L. L. Wahl.
The two armed men remained
on each side of the doorway. The
third jumped over a railing and
ran behind the row of cashier’s
cages. He scoped the money into
a white bed sheet as one of his
companions at the door counted
off the seconds. As the count hit
zero, the trio ran from the bank
and jumped into a car at the
doorway. A fourth man drove the
vehicle away.
The bank is the northwestern
branch of the First Wisconsin
National, the State’s largest bank.
Mr. Wahl said the man who
scooped up the money failed to
enter the last of five cashiers’,
cages as time ran out.
New Red Plan for Buffer Zone
In Korea Resembles U. N. Offer
Differs Crucially, However, on Provision
For Veto of Changes in Adjustments
By tht Associated Press
MUNSAN, Korea. Nov. 7.—Red
truce negotiators submitted a new
buffer zone counterproposal today
strikingly similar to the Allied
plan—but with crucial differences.
United Nations representatives
turned it down. But they said

they might talk about it in to
morrow's sessions at Panmunjom.
Under the Red plan a buffer
zone would be created now along
the existing front. If subsequent
fighting changed the front lines
materially, either side could pro
pose a change in the military de
marcation line for the zone. But
there was no guarantee the other
must agree to the change.
“No adjustments could be made
in the demarcation line as the
Communists obviously would not
agree,” said Maj. Gen. Henry I.
Hodes, head of the U. N. sub
committee.
"It would be a de facto cease
fire. It's the same thing they have
brought up for three days.”
However, Brig. Gen. William P.
Nuckols, U. N. spokesman, said
the Allies had made no "final
judgment” on the Red plan.
Gen. Nuckols said the U. N. felt
the Communist proposal had
“many ambiguities and many con
tradictions.”
He said the Red and Allied plans
had “superficial similarities and
fundamental discrepancies.”
Both would accept the actual
battle line as the basis for a de
marcation line and demilitarized
zone. However, the Allies would

Politburo Man Couples
Warning With Report
On Economic Progress
By the Associated Press
LONDON, Nov. 7.—Soviet Mar
shal Rodion Malinovsky told
cheering thousands in Moscow's
Red Square today that Russia
"does not contemplate attacking
the United States of America or
any other country.”
Malinovsky, one of the top So
viet commanders against the Japa
nese in World War II, spoke to
massed troops of the Moscow gar
rison who passed in review
through the square in celebration
of the 34th anniversary of the
Red Revolution.
Politburo Member Lavrenty P.
Beria, in a speech last night,
warned the West that the Soviets
would crush any attack on them
and that they had the weapons
with which to do it.
Charges U. S. With Aggression.
Malinovsky declared the policy
of the Soviet Union is "directed
at strengthening peace and co
operation among nations.”
"Entirely different,” he said, "is
the policy of the ruling circles of
the United States. This is a policy
of aggression. Its aim is to estab
lish domination of the American
monopolists over the peoples of
other countries—to rob the work
ing masses and worsen their living
standard.”
His speech was broadcast by
Radio Moscow.
Malinovsky described Western
“shouts about alleged war danger
on the part of the Soviet Union”
as "inventions.” He added:
"The popular masses, however,
will not let themselves be en
meshed in a web of lies. With
each passing day, they are be
coming increasingly convinced
that the Soviet Union, engaged
in carrying out plans of peaceful
construction, does not contemplate
attacking the United States of
America or any other country.”

Beria, one of Stalin’s closest
issociates, spoke at the anniver
sary eve celebration at Moscow's
Bolshoi Theater.
“As the world knows,” Beria de
clared, “the Soviet army and navy
possess unparalleled moral fighting
lualities and have at their dis
posal all types of contemporary
veapons.”

Up to Steering Committee.
Mr. Vishinsky's request today
concerns the question whether
China will continue being repre

will be the third successive day
of conferences for the two, ail
1 held in the deepest secrecy. A
! Tied With Truman Broadcast.
Announcement of the Big Three
“peace” program, originally set
for last night, was postponed pre
sumably so it would more closely
precede President Truman s broad
cast tonight to the American Na
tion.
The Big Three plan is likely to
be patterned closely on the gen
eral terms of the President's for
eign policy pronouncement.
There has been speculation for
days on what the Big Three will
offer. Reliable sources say the
atom bomb count—a sweeping
concession by the United States,
which until now has objected to
such a census—would certainly be
the key point.
The first session yesterday elect
ed as its president Mexico's Luis
Padilla Nervo, a seasoned U. N.
diplomat.

MOSCOW. Nov. 7 (iPi.—The
Soviet press today tjirew cold
water on French President Vincent
Auriol's suggestion for a Big Four
| leaders’ conference in Paris in
jthe quest for world peace.
All Moscow newspapers publish
ed Tass dispatches about Mr.
Auriol’s speech opening the United
Nations General Assembly meeting
yesterday but the dispatches did
not credit him with sincerity in
the suggestion that the leaders of
Russia, the United States, Britain
and France meet now.
I The Soviet press said Mr. Auriol
undermined his own suggestion by
by-passing such vital matters
as the “Aggressive intentions” of
jthe North Atlantic Treaty, the
;hain of bases being built by Amer
icans around the Soviet Union,
United States rearmament and
the remilitarization of Germany
and Japan.
