G. 0. P. Revolt Balked By Share-Work Plan For Senate Freshmen By Associated Press Veiled threats of an uprising by freshmen Republican Sena- tors faded today, with predic- tions that the new share-the- work program they sold to party leaders will result in greater unity on forthcoming legislation. Senator Thye, former Minnesota Governor and one of 16 first term- ers who signed a recent round robin demanding a greater voice in policy shaping, told a reporter he already is beginning to see results. "We're working closer together than we were,” Senator Thye said. "We freshmen now know more about what is going on and we are able to help the leaders. I think it is going to pay dividends in greater party unity.” Senator Baldwin, Republican, of Connecticut, who wrote the round robin declaration, also told a re- porter he thinks the events of last week demonstrated that the fresh- men had accomplished results. He noted that party problems were discussed fully at a conference of all of the Senate Republicans and two of the first termers were pres- ent as observers at a GOP Policy Committee meeting Saturday. Will Report to Colleagues. Senator Baldwin and Senator Dworshak. Republican, of Idaho at- tended Saturday's session and said they will report informally to their first-term colleagues on the deci- sions reached. Meanwhile, Senator Baldwin said he is gratified with the response of GOP Chairman Carroll Reese to a suggestion by the Connecticut Sen- ator that more frequent conferences he held between national commit- tee members and Capitol Republi- can leaders. Mr, Reece wrote Senator Baldwin that the committee facilities in | every field “are available for such, service as may be desired to the Re- publican majorities in Congress.” He himself had conferred frequent- ly with party members at the Capi- | tol and would continue to do so, Mr. Reece said. Truman Accused of Sabotage. Mr. Reece followed up that letter with another to all GOP office- holders and party officials contend- ing that President Truman person- ally and with the help of what Mr. fteece called "the tremendous Fed- eral propaganda machine" has sought to "sabotage” the Republican program. Asking, "How did Mr. Truman manifest his 'co-operation' with Congress in the carrying out of the program for which the people had voted?” the GOP chairman answered his own question in this way: "His $37,500,000,000 budget was a direct defiance of the mandate for economy. "He made only a token gesture toward curtailment of the national debt. "He opposed any reduction in taxes at this time. "On the subject of labor-manage- ment relations he proposed the cre- ation of another commission to 'study' this problem—as though the American people, through the un- happy experiences of the preceding 14 years, had not acquired more knowledge than they wanted in that field. Charges Federal Propaganda. "However,” Mr. Reece continued, "in addition to what the President has done personally to sabotage the Republican program he has allowed the full force of the tremendous Federal propaganda machine * * * to be directed toward that end.” Mr. Reece said payrolls last year of the executive agencies Included more than 40,000 propagandists costing $75,000,000 annually. Although he said there has been some slight curtailment, Mr. Reece’ added that "this huge propaganda j mill * * * is operating in many cgses to defeat or sabotage the legislative program of those who vote the funds for its maintenance.” "Republicans everywhere,” Mr. Reece cautioned, “should keep in mind the existence—temporary, it is to be hoped—of this publicly financed propaganda mill when they read articles or listen to broadcasts emphasizing differences or disagree- ments among Republicans in Con- gress or tending to inspire doubts that the Republican Party wull keep its prorpises to the people.” Greece Will Use U. S. Aid For Arms, La Guardia Says By the Associated Press NEW YORK, Mar. 17.—F. H. La Guardia says the funds President Truman asked last week for Greece and Turkey "cannot be for food.” "Turkey has exportable surpluses,” the former UNRRA director said in a broadcast. He contended that funds for aiding Greece were in- cluded in an earlier $350,000,000 re- quest of Congress for aid for needy countries. Mr. La Guardia said the President sought money "to bolster the Army of Greece.” Archbishop H. G. Athenagoras of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America told a Hellenic gathering that the Presi- dent’s request showed him to be “a man sent from God” and "a true leader” for democracy. Representative Marcantonio, Dem- ocrat-American Labor Party, of New York and Representative Powell, Democrat, of New York both criti- cized the President's proposal before a Harlem audience yesterday. Charles G. Bolte, national chair- man of the American Veterans’ Committee, said last night the AVC Planning Committee had adopted a resolution favoring economic aid to Greece, but opposing shipment of American arms or personnel. Italy Requests Role In Fixing Reich's Fate By th» Associated Press ROME. Mar. 17.—Foreign Min- ister Carlo Sforza asked the For- eign Ministers Council in Moscow today to permit Italy to participate in the solution of the German prob- lem. His note asserted that Italy's blood contribution in the fight against Nazism was sufficient rea- son for an invitation and that Italy had had important commerce with Germany in the past. Italy fought as a Geiman ally during the first years of the war, but switched after the Allies in- vaded Italy and Benito Mussolini was overthrown.

Kelly and a fourth man accused of stealing the gun that fired the^ fatal shot. The suspects (left to right) are Joseph M. Gray, 19; Herbert H. Hall, 18, and Shirley Harris, 23—the trio charged with murder—and Preston Barnes, 19, charged with housebreaking and lar- ceny. _____ Java Clash Occurs As N^jv Pad Is Due By the Associated Press BATAVIA, Mar. 17. Dutch au- thorities announced today the launching of military operations against Indonesian forces at Mod- jokerto, 30 miles southwest of Soerabaja, but indicated hope that the move would not further delay signing of the Cheribon agreement. Under the Cheribon agreement, negotiated last November, the Dutch would recognize the Indonesian re- public's sovereignty over Java, Su- matra and Madoera as an equal partner with the Netherlands under the Dutch crown. Actual signing of the agreement has been delayed by jockeying over details. An official announcement said Dutch marines had begun opera- tions against Indonesian forces at Modjokerto to drive them from the Porong delta, where they were re- ported to have caused widespread damage to crops by flooding the land. There was no immediate in- dication of the resistance encount- ered. The attack came just 24 hours after Dutch and Indonesian mili- tary leaders had agreed to with- draw their forces approximately a mile on all fronts to avoid the pos- sibility of further fighting. A highly placed informant, mean- while, reported that Acting Gov- ernor General Hubertus J. Mook had sent Indonesian Premier Sutan Sjahrir a letter announcing that the Dutch were ready to sign the Cheribon agreement without fur- thur delay and expressing hope that the Indonesians also were ready to act. British Deny Firing on Reds Holding Danish Newsman By the Associated Pres* BERLIN, Mar. 17.—British troop headquarters here denied today a report that British military police had fired on Russian officers who had a Danish newspaper corre- spondent in Custody. Danish colleagues of the corre-j spondent. Niels Noerlund of Copen-! hagen’s Berlingske Tidende, said he i told them he was detained nearly | two days in the Soviet occupation: zone, but escaped over the week: end at a British military police! checkpoint on Berlin's outskirts. They quoted him as saying that British military police rushed up, that the Russians sped away from the checkpoint and that the British fired several shots after the Rus- sians. British headquarters confirmed Mr. Noerlund's escape at the check- point, but said: “There was no shooting. The Russians just drove away when our boys came up.” Mr. Noerlund was quoted as say- ing that in the Russian zone he had seen some troop maneuvers, tanks and planes, but only in a bar- racks area where he had been taken for questioning. He tlod colleagues, they said, that when he escaped the Russians were taking him from Madgeburg to Soviet headquarters at Karlshorst, where they had promised to release him to officials of the Berlin Danish Military Mission. 2 Injured Youths Rescued From 165-Foot Canyon By th« Associated Press LOS ANGELES, Mar. 17.—Sher- iff’s deputies and firemen, working in the glare of large searchlights, rescued two injured youths from an isolated mountain canyon last night. They had been trapped since mid- afternoon. The two were injured in decend- ing a cliff in Blind Crest Canyon. A third member of the hiking party, Morris Haine, 16, was rescued from the top of the cliff uninjured. When the search party, led by Fire Battalion Chief Paul H. Clark, arrived at the scene Thomas Melvin Ricketts, 20, lay at the bottom of the canyon after falling 165 feet in at- tempting the descent. Gene Nesti, 16, was lying in a pool on a narrow ledge, 15 feet from the top of the ridge. Sheriff’s Sergt. Dick Brooks was lowered from the top in a basket I stretcher. Young Nesti was placed in the stretcher and lowered to the canyon floor. Mr. Ricketts, with a fractured jaw, broken arm and other injuries, was taken to a Van Nuys hospital, where his condition was reported fair. Nesti. soaked by a waterfall in the descent, was taken to a Glen- dale hospital with two sprained wrists and possible fractured ribs. All three youthes are from Bur- bank. Four Injured as Blast Wrecks Kansas House By the Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kans., Mar. 17.— An explosion followed by fire blew apart a frame house yesterday and injured four persons, one critically. The force of the blast was so great only part of one sidewall and the front porch wall were left standing. A gas explosion was believed to be the cause. Assistant Fire Chief C. A. Roherty said. Injured were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Harkness. 40 and 38; their son Gor- don. 15, and Mrs. Ann Whitney, 43, 'sister of Mrs. Harkness. All were 'in the house at the time of the ex- plosion and suffered bums. Mrs. Harkness' condition was 'listed as critical. Kelly (Continued From First Page.) and carried him into Garfield Hos- pital recalled they had seen the muddy prints of rubber-heeled men's shoes on the sidewalk near the spot where Mr. Kelly was found. The day of the murder, a house- breaking was reported in the 2100 block of Eighth street N.W., not many blocks from the shooting scene. Reported stolen, along with clothes and a radio, were a Smith & Wesson pistol and a pair of rubber-heeled men’s shoes. Inspector Barrett put a crew of detectives to work on the house- breaking. Detectives visited after- hour hangouts and talked to every contact they had. lly, they learned that a man ’n ped- dling goods answeri descrip- tion of the clothes s.jicn in the housebreaking. Late Saturday night police ar- rested Preston N. Barnes, 19, colored, of 2241 Tenth street N.W. Inspector Barrett said Barnes ad- mitted he had taken part in the house-breaking. Police recovered the clothes and the radio but not the shoes or the weapon. Names Three Others. Under questioning, according to the detective chief, Barnes named three men who were wuth him on the house-breaking, and revealed that Harris had the pistol and the shoes. Barnes was charged with house- breaking and larceny. Arraigned today, he entered no plea and was held under $1,500 bond for a hearing April 1. When arrested Harris had a pair of shoes with heels that could make prints resembling those the police had noticed at the scene, Inspector Barrett said. Police had not taken a moulage of the heel prints be- cause Mr. Kelly’s death was believed at the time to be from natural causes. Police questioned tne t.nree men most of yesterday. Finally. Inspect™ Barrett said, each of them made statements revealing where they had disposed of the pistol and the circumstances of the attempted holdup that ended in murder. In- spector Barrett said the three stories jibed on all details. The pistol was recovered bv police in a sewer at Ninth street and Barry place N.W. The men said they had tossed it into the sewer as they fled from the scene, ac- cording to the detective chief. In their signed statements, In- spector Barrett said, the men said they saw Mr. Kelly walking up Eleventh street and converged on him. Harris, the detective chief said, was closest to Mr. Kelly and held the pistol on him. When told to hold up his hands Mr. Kelly started to obey, but then struck out at the man holding the gun. Inspector Barrett said the state- ments agreed that Mr. Kelly missed Harris but hit the pistol, knocking it downward but not out of Harris’ hand. That accounted for the cut police found later on Mr. Kelly’s knuckles. Victim Runs Six Steps. After this gesture at fighting back, Mr. Kelly turned to flee. He ran six steps before being hit by a bullet. According to Inspector, Barrett, Harris fired from the hip from a distance of about 6 feet. The three men said they then fled south on Eleventh street, east on Barry place and into the Banneker playground. It was there, Gray and Hall said, that Harris threatened to kill them if they “squealed." According to police, Harris had been known to them for a long series of offenses beginning when he was 12. Most of his arrests police said, came when he was a juvenile. The record showed he was accused vari- ously of threats, petty larceny and concealed weapons. He was twice convicted. As described by the three accused men, the murder of Mr. Kelly fol- lowed the exact pattern drawn by- police in their reconstruction of the crime Thursday. Mr. Kelly, an electrician in the District office of the Corps of En- gineers, left Central High School alone Tuesday night after attending a meeting of the Association for the Education of Physically Handi- capped and Shut-in Children. There he had discussed the case of his daughter, Edith, who was suf- fering from a heart ailment. Missed Streetcar Stop. Police theorized that Mr. Kelly- walked east to Eleventh street, missed the nearest streetcar stop be- cause he was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, and walked north to- ward a streetcar stop near the corner of Eleventh and Euclid streets N.W. As he neared the stop, according to the police theory, he encountered something so terrifying that he whirled and attempted to flee south. It was then he was shot down, fall- ing with such an impact that his head was deeply gashed. That gash led police to believe at first that he had been shot in the head. Police who had been cruising in the grounds of Garfield Hospital and later discovered Mr. Kelly’s body on the street recalled having heard what sounded like a shot. Autopsy Reveals Bullet. No bullet was found in Mr. Kelly’s head, however, and police at first dismissed the-sound they had heard as a backfire. Since the examination at Garfield Hospital produced no evidence of foul play, Mr. Kelly’s family at first was told he died of natural causes. An autopsy at the Morgue re- vealed t.hbt Mr. Kelly had been shot. The bullet entered the right shoulder and coursed upward through the neck, stopping at the base of the tongue. When investigation failed to un- cover any evidence of a personal vengeance motive, police concen- trated on the theory of attempted robbery. Bernardin Rover, 68, Dies; Meat Market Operator Bernardin F. Rover, 68, a native of Washington, died today in Georgetown Hospital after a brief illness. He lived at 1425 Rhode Is- land avenue N.W. Mr. Rover, a graduate of St. John’s College here, entered the grocery business with his father, P. A. Rover, and for several years had a grocery at North Capitol and H streets. Since the death of his father he had operated a meat market at Fifth and K streets N.W. Mr. Rover was a member of the Holy Name Society of St. Matthew’s Cathedral. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Anna M. Krieg Rover; a brother, Leo A. Rover, former United States attorney, and four sisters, Mrs. Agnes C. Ferry, Miss Mary A. Rover, Miss Katherine T. Rover and Mrs. Adelaide I. Cavanagh, all of Wash- ington. Funeral services will be held at the home of his sister, Miss Mary A. Rover, 2901 Courtland place N.W., at 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Requiem mass will be said at 10 a.m. at St. Matthew's Cathedral by Msgr. John K. Cartwright. Burial will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Autopsy Ordered in Death Of Petty Officer at Hotel An autopsy was scheduled today in the death of Chief Petty Officer Frank John Wiles, U. S. N., who was found dead in a room at a downtown hotel last night. Two empty chloroform bottles and one half full were found in a dresser drawer and a towel, which police believe might have been soaked with chloroform, was found near the un- clothed body, according to police reports. Detective Sergt. A. D. Clark said Chief Wiles was a patient at Be- thesda Naval Hospital. According to the detective, Chief Wiles left an unaddressed note saying he was going to kill himself and leaving in- structions for the disposal of his [body. He had checked into the hotel on Saturday. Ray Hendricks to Wed Joan Myles, Friends Say By the Associated Press SANTA MONICA,-Calif., Mar. 17.— Friends of Red Hendricks, airport : exeeutive and former husband of Laraine Day, said today that he and Joan Myles, screen actress, would be married whenever he was free to do so. Superior Judge Ingall W. Bull is to rule April 23 on whether Miss Day’s interlocutory divorce from Mr. Hendricks is to stand or be set aside because she eloped the day after the divorce was granted, ob- tained a Mexican divorce, and then married Leo Durocher, Brooklyn Dodgers manager, in El Paso, Tex. Miss Myles was granted a divorce recently from Tommy Gleason, a musician. She has two children. Appropriations (Continued From First Page.) tor Bridges and Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland. It would not prohibit Congress from appropriating more than the Treasury expects to take in for a given year, but to do so would require approval by three-fifths of the membership of each branch. If any Congress happened to ap- propriate more than the estimated revenues without such a vote, then the President would be required to eliminate the excess amount by cut- ting all appropriations except cer- tain fixed obligations. The items exempt from such presi- dential cutting would be interest on the public debt, veterans' pensions and benefits and adjudicated claims against the Government.

CIO to Sue Hotel in Refusal To Serve Negroes at Parley By the Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 17.—Na-j tional CIO leaders said today they would bring suit against the Neil House under the Ohio civil rights statutes for alleged discrimination against colored delegates to a CIO education conference who said they were denied table service at the hotel’s coffee shop. The suit was authorized at a "sit- in” demonstration staged yesterday in the coffee shop by 150 conference delegates. White and colored dele- gates occupied the coffee shop for eight and a Jialf hours in protest against the refusal of seven non- union white waitresses to serve Negroes. Robert Penebaker, assistant manager of the hotel, declared the hotel was in no way responsible for the action of the waitresses. He told newsmen it was "strictly a la- bor situation so far as the hotel was concerned." A group of CIO delegates, includ- ing several Negroes, who made the Neil House their headquarters dur- ing their four-day conference, walked into the hotel's coffee shop at 7:30 a.m. yesterday, Mr. Pene- backer said. He added that the waitresses, the only help available, walked off the job. Jack Kroll, PAC director and head of the Ohio CIO Council, and Eu- gene Cotton, assistant general coun- sel of CIO, "pledged full support to j the national CIO in pressing the legal suit,” a statement issued by the CIO declared. The conference was sponsored by the national CIO department of Research and Education to discuss the development of “more effective community relations problems of political action and how to fight discrimination.” £ Gov. Duff to Gef Pay Appeal Of Pennsylvania Teachers By the Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa„ Mar. 17.— Scores of Pennsylvania’s unionized teachers, representing educators from many sections of the State, will “march” on the capital today to support demands for higher salaries. Mrs. Esther Soler, secretary of the CIO Philadelphia Teachers Union, said a 10-member commit- tee of the “marchers” would first discuss the pay increase proposals with Gov. James H. Duff, then meet in a State Legislature caucuS room to discuss plans “to buttonhole each legislator individually to tell them what we want.” The problem of increasing the teacher salaries is one of the chief issues confronting the 1947 General Assembly. Today's planned demon- stration was termed “a questionable approach” to the wrage question by State Representative D. Raymond Sollenberger, Blair County Repub- lican and chairman of the House Education Committee. “I disagree with their methods and do not condone them,” Mr. Sollenberger declared. A school teacher himself, he is coauthor of a bill to raise minimum teachers' salaries $1,000 annually from $1,- ;400 to $2,400. 'Rose Burglar' Arraigned; Judge Sefs Bond af $5,000 Richard Bennett Heck, 29, so- called "rose burglar,” today was ordered held in $5,000 bond for grand jury action on a housebreak- ing charge. Heck was arraigned before Munici- pal Court Judge Ellen Raedy on a charge that he broke into a restau- rant at 1232 Thirty-sixth street N.W. early Saturday. When arrest- ed on the premises by Pvt. Randall A. Honaker of No. 7 Precinct he had in his possession $37 which, it is charged, he took from the restau- rant. The high bond was set on the recommendation of Assistant United States Attorney J. Warren Wilson, w'ho told the court three other housebreaking charges pending against Heck are to be presented direct to the grand jury. Heck became known as the "rose burglar” several years ago because of his alleged practice of leaving a rose at places he burglarized. He was sentenced to six years in 1938 for one of those burglaries.

Witness Says Stewart Often Got Anonymous funds for Magazine The defense in the perjury trial of Douglas M. Stewart, former editor of Scribner's Commentator, offered testimony regarding his reputation for truth in District Court today. The trial, in which the defendant is charged with stating falsely he found an anonymous donation of $15,000 to aid the magazine, entered its second week Mrs. Rose Cour of Lake Geneva (Wis.), now a special society writer for the Chicago Tribune in her home town, testified Stewart's rep- utation for veracity is "excellent^- without question." She said that in 1941 she worked for Scribner's Commentator and that she was sec- retary-treasurer of Lake Geneva Publications, Inc., publisher of the Herald, a promotion sheet for Scrib- ner's Commentator. She knew funds had previously been received anonymously by the Commentator, she said. About September 20, 1941, she tes- tified, she got a phone call from Stejvart, who said: "It's happened again." She immediately thought of money, she declared, and when she asked him ‘‘how much,” Stewart replied, ‘‘$15,000.” Mrs. Cour said she and Stewart talked to numerous wealthy people at Lake Geneva, who were willing to advance money for the publica- tions and she explained that for business and social reasons, these people wanted to remain anony- mous. Scribner’s Commentator was in no way a pro-German magazine, Mrs. Cour declared, adding it was for ‘‘100 per cent Americanism.” The Government contends Baron Heribert von Strempel, first secre- tary of the German Embassy here before Pearl Harbor, gave Stewart the money in New York. Stewart claims the $15,000 was left mysteri- ously by an unknown donor in the hallway of his Lake Geneva home. Stewart was indicted on a charge of falsely testifying before the Dis- trict grand jury which returned the mass sedition indictment in 1943. A defense attempt to get into evi- dence a letter, signed by Attorney General Clark, concerning the dis- missal of O.

G. 0. P. Revolt Balked By Share-Work Plan For Senate Freshmen

By Associated Press

Veiled threats of an uprising by freshmen Republican Sena- tors faded today, with predic- tions that the new share-the- work program they sold to party leaders will result in greater unity on forthcoming legislation.

Senator Thye, former Minnesota Governor and one of 16 first term- ers who signed a recent round robin demanding a greater voice in policy shaping, told a reporter he already is beginning to see results.

"We're working closer together than we were,” Senator Thye said. "We freshmen now know more about what is going on and we are able to help the leaders. I think it is going to pay dividends in greater party unity.”

Senator Baldwin, Republican, of Connecticut, who wrote the round robin declaration, also told a re-

porter he thinks the events of last week demonstrated that the fresh- men had accomplished results.

He noted that party problems were discussed fully at a conference of all of the Senate Republicans and two of the first termers were pres- ent as observers at a GOP Policy Committee meeting Saturday.

Will Report to Colleagues. Senator Baldwin and Senator

Dworshak. Republican, of Idaho at- tended Saturday's session and said they will report informally to their first-term colleagues on the deci- sions reached.

Meanwhile, Senator Baldwin said he is gratified with the response of GOP Chairman Carroll Reese to a

suggestion by the Connecticut Sen- ator that more frequent conferences he held between national commit- tee members and Capitol Republi- can leaders.

Mr, Reece wrote Senator Baldwin that the committee facilities in | every field “are available for such, service as may be desired to the Re-

publican majorities in Congress.” He himself had conferred frequent- ly with party members at the Capi- | tol and would continue to do so, Mr. Reece said.

Truman Accused of Sabotage. Mr. Reece followed up that letter

with another to all GOP office- holders and party officials contend- ing that President Truman person- ally and with the help of what Mr.

fteece called "the tremendous Fed- eral propaganda machine" has sought to "sabotage” the Republican program.

Asking, "How did Mr. Truman manifest his 'co-operation' with Congress in the carrying out of the program for which the people had

voted?” the GOP chairman answered his own question in this way:

"His $37,500,000,000 budget was a

direct defiance of the mandate for economy.

"He made only a token gesture toward curtailment of the national debt.

"He opposed any reduction in taxes at this time.

"On the subject of labor-manage- ment relations he proposed the cre-

ation of another commission to 'study' this problem—as though the American people, through the un-

happy experiences of the preceding 14 years, had not acquired more

knowledge than they wanted in that field.

Charges Federal Propaganda. "However,” Mr. Reece continued,

"in addition to what the President has done personally to sabotage the Republican program he has allowed the full force of the tremendous Federal propaganda machine * * *

to be directed toward that end.” Mr. Reece said payrolls last year of

the executive agencies Included more

than 40,000 propagandists costing $75,000,000 annually.

Although he said there has been some slight curtailment, Mr. Reece’ added that "this huge propaganda j mill * * * is operating in many cgses to defeat or sabotage the legislative program of those who vote the funds for its maintenance.”

"Republicans everywhere,” Mr. Reece cautioned, “should keep in mind the existence—temporary, it

is to be hoped—of this publicly financed propaganda mill when they read articles or listen to broadcasts emphasizing differences or disagree- ments among Republicans in Con- gress or tending to inspire doubts that the Republican Party wull keep its prorpises to the people.”

Greece Will Use U. S. Aid For Arms, La Guardia Says

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.—F. H. La

Guardia says the funds President Truman asked last week for Greece

and Turkey "cannot be for food.”

"Turkey has exportable surpluses,” the former UNRRA director said in

a broadcast. He contended that

funds for aiding Greece were in- cluded in an earlier $350,000,000 re-

quest of Congress for aid for needy countries.

Mr. La Guardia said the President sought money "to bolster the Army of Greece.”

Archbishop H. G. Athenagoras of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America told a

Hellenic gathering that the Presi- dent’s request showed him to be “a man sent from God” and "a true leader” for democracy.

Representative Marcantonio, Dem- ocrat-American Labor Party, of New York and Representative Powell, Democrat, of New York both criti- cized the President's proposal before a Harlem audience yesterday.

Charles G. Bolte, national chair- man of the American Veterans’ Committee, said last night the AVC Planning Committee had adopted a

resolution favoring economic aid to Greece, but opposing shipment of American arms or personnel.

Italy Requests Role In Fixing Reich's Fate

By th» Associated Press ROME. Mar. 17.—Foreign Min-

ister Carlo Sforza asked the For- eign Ministers Council in Moscow today to permit Italy to participate in the solution of the German prob- lem.

Java Clash Occurs As N^jv Pad Is Due

By the Associated Press

BATAVIA, Mar. 17. — Dutch au- thorities announced today the launching of military operations against Indonesian forces at Mod- jokerto, 30 miles southwest of Soerabaja, but indicated hope that the move would not further delay signing of the Cheribon agreement.

Under the Cheribon agreement, negotiated last November, the Dutch would recognize the Indonesian re-

public's sovereignty over Java, Su-

matra and Madoera as an equal partner with the Netherlands under the Dutch crown. Actual signing of the agreement has been delayed by jockeying over details.

An official announcement said Dutch marines had begun opera- tions against Indonesian forces at

Modjokerto to drive them from the Porong delta, where they were re-

ported to have caused widespread damage to crops by flooding the land. There was no immediate in- dication of the resistance encount- ered.

The attack came just 24 hours after Dutch and Indonesian mili- tary leaders had agreed to with- draw their forces approximately a

mile on all fronts to avoid the pos- sibility of further fighting.

A highly placed informant, mean-

while, reported that Acting Gov- ernor General Hubertus J. Mook had sent Indonesian Premier Sutan Sjahrir a letter announcing that the Dutch were ready to sign the Cheribon agreement without fur- thur delay and expressing hope that the Indonesians also were ready to act.

British Deny Firing on Reds Holding Danish Newsman

By the Associated Pres*

BERLIN, Mar. 17.—British troop headquarters here denied today a

report that British military police had fired on Russian officers who had a Danish newspaper corre-

spondent in Custody. Danish colleagues of the corre-j

spondent. Niels Noerlund of Copen-! hagen’s Berlingske Tidende, said he i told them he was detained nearly | two days in the Soviet occupation: zone, but escaped over the week: end at a British military police! checkpoint on Berlin's outskirts. They quoted him as saying that British military police rushed up, that the Russians sped away from the checkpoint and that the British fired several shots after the Rus- sians.

British headquarters confirmed Mr. Noerlund's escape at the check- point, but said: “There was no

shooting. The Russians just drove away when our boys came up.”

Mr. Noerlund was quoted as say- ing that in the Russian zone he had seen some troop maneuvers, tanks and planes, but only in a bar- racks area where he had been taken for questioning.

He tlod colleagues, they said, that when he escaped the Russians were

taking him from Madgeburg to Soviet headquarters at Karlshorst, where they had promised to release him to officials of the Berlin Danish Military Mission.

2 Injured Youths Rescued From 165-Foot Canyon

By th« Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 17.—Sher- iff’s deputies and firemen, working in the glare of large searchlights, rescued two injured youths from an

isolated mountain canyon last night. They had been trapped since mid- afternoon.

The two were injured in decend- ing a cliff in Blind Crest Canyon. A third member of the hiking party, Morris Haine, 16, was rescued from the top of the cliff uninjured.

When the search party, led by Fire Battalion Chief Paul H. Clark, arrived at the scene Thomas Melvin Ricketts, 20, lay at the bottom of the canyon after falling 165 feet in at-

tempting the descent. Gene Nesti, 16, was lying in a pool on a narrow

ledge, 15 feet from the top of the ridge.

Sheriff’s Sergt. Dick Brooks was

lowered from the top in a basket I stretcher. Young Nesti was placed in the stretcher and lowered to the canyon floor.

Mr. Ricketts, with a fractured jaw, broken arm and other injuries, was taken to a Van Nuys hospital, where his condition was reported fair. Nesti. soaked by a waterfall in the descent, was taken to a Glen- dale hospital with two sprained wrists and possible fractured ribs.

All three youthes are from Bur- bank.

By the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Kans., Mar. 17.— An explosion followed by fire blew apart a frame house yesterday and injured four persons, one critically.

The force of the blast was so great only part of one sidewall and the front porch wall were left standing. A gas explosion was believed to be the cause. Assistant Fire Chief C. A.

Roherty said. Injured were Mr. and Mrs. Ray

Harkness. 40 and 38; their son Gor- don. 15, and Mrs. Ann Whitney, 43,

'sister of Mrs. Harkness. All were

'in the house at the time of the ex-

plosion and suffered bums. Mrs. Harkness' condition was

'listed as critical.

Kelly (Continued From First Page.)

and carried him into Garfield Hos- pital recalled they had seen the muddy prints of rubber-heeled men's shoes on the sidewalk near the spot where Mr. Kelly was found.

The day of the murder, a house- breaking was reported in the 2100 block of Eighth street N.W., not many blocks from the shooting scene. Reported stolen, along with clothes and a radio, were a Smith & Wesson pistol and a pair of rubber-heeled men’s shoes.

Inspector Barrett put a crew of detectives to work on the house- breaking. Detectives visited after- hour hangouts and talked to every contact they had. lly, they learned that a man ’n ped- dling goods answeri descrip- tion of the clothes s.jicn in the housebreaking.

Late Saturday night police ar-

rested Preston N. Barnes, 19, colored, of 2241 Tenth street N.W.

Inspector Barrett said Barnes ad- mitted he had taken part in the house-breaking. Police recovered the clothes and the radio but not the shoes or the weapon.

Names Three Others.

Under questioning, according to

the detective chief, Barnes named

three men who were wuth him on

the house-breaking, and revealed

that Harris had the pistol and the

shoes. Barnes was charged with house-

breaking and larceny. Arraigned today, he entered no plea and was

held under $1,500 bond for a hearing April 1.

When arrested Harris had a pair of shoes with heels that could make

prints resembling those the police had noticed at the scene, Inspector Barrett said. Police had not taken a moulage of the heel prints be- cause Mr. Kelly’s death was believed at the time to be from natural causes.

Police questioned tne t.nree men

most of yesterday. Finally. Inspect™ Barrett said, each of them made statements revealing where they had disposed of the pistol and the circumstances of the attempted holdup that ended in murder. In- spector Barrett said the three stories jibed on all details.

The pistol was recovered bv police in a sewer at Ninth street and Barry place N.W. The men said they had tossed it into the sewer as they fled from the scene, ac-

cording to the detective chief. In their signed statements, In-

spector Barrett said, the men said they saw Mr. Kelly walking up Eleventh street and converged on

him. Harris, the detective chief said,

was closest to Mr. Kelly and held the pistol on him. When told to hold up his hands Mr. Kelly started to obey, but then struck out at the man holding the gun.

Inspector Barrett said the state- ments agreed that Mr. Kelly missed Harris but hit the pistol, knocking it downward but not out of Harris’ hand. That accounted for the cut police found later on Mr. Kelly’s knuckles.

Victim Runs Six Steps. After this gesture at fighting back,

Mr. Kelly turned to flee. He ran six steps before being hit by a bullet. According to Inspector, Barrett, Harris fired from the hip from a

distance of about 6 feet. The three men said they then fled

south on Eleventh street, east on

Barry place and into the Banneker playground. It was there, Gray and Hall said, that Harris threatened to kill them if they “squealed."

According to police, Harris had been known to them for a long series of offenses beginning when he was

12. Most of his arrests police said, came when he was a juvenile. The record showed he was accused vari-

ously of threats, petty larceny and concealed weapons. He was twice convicted.

As described by the three accused

men, the murder of Mr. Kelly fol- lowed the exact pattern drawn by- police in their reconstruction of the crime Thursday.

Mr. Kelly, an electrician in the District office of the Corps of En-

gineers, left Central High School alone Tuesday night after attending a meeting of the Association for the Education of Physically Handi- capped and Shut-in Children. There he had discussed the case of his daughter, Edith, who was suf- fering from a heart ailment.

Missed Streetcar Stop. Police theorized that Mr. Kelly-

walked east to Eleventh street, missed the nearest streetcar stop be- cause he was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, and walked north to- ward a streetcar stop near the corner of Eleventh and Euclid streets N.W.

As he neared the stop, according to the police theory, he encountered something so terrifying that he

whirled and attempted to flee south. It was then he was shot down, fall-

ing with such an impact that his head was deeply gashed.

That gash led police to believe at first that he had been shot in the head. Police who had been cruising in the grounds of Garfield Hospital and later discovered Mr. Kelly’s body on the street recalled

having heard what sounded like a

shot. Autopsy Reveals Bullet.

No bullet was found in Mr. Kelly’s head, however, and police at first dismissed the-sound they had heard as a backfire. Since the examination at Garfield Hospital produced no

evidence of foul play, Mr. Kelly’s family at first was told he died of natural causes.

An autopsy at the Morgue re-

vealed t.hbt Mr. Kelly had been shot. The bullet entered the right shoulder and coursed upward through the neck, stopping at the base of the tongue.

When investigation failed to un-

cover any evidence of a personal vengeance motive, police concen-

trated on the theory of attempted robbery.

Autopsy Ordered in Death Of Petty Officer at Hotel

An autopsy was scheduled today in the death of Chief Petty Officer Frank John Wiles, U. S. N., who was found dead in a room at a

downtown hotel last night. Two empty chloroform bottles and

one half full were found in a dresser drawer and a towel, which police believe might have been soaked with chloroform, was found near the un-

clothed body, according to police reports.

Detective Sergt. A. D. Clark said Chief Wiles was a patient at Be- thesda Naval Hospital. According to the detective, Chief Wiles left an

unaddressed note saying he was

going to kill himself and leaving in- structions for the disposal of his

[body. He had checked into the hotel on Saturday.

Ray Hendricks to Wed Joan Myles, Friends Say

By the Associated Press

SANTA MONICA,-Calif., Mar. 17.— Friends of Red Hendricks, airport

: exeeutive and former husband of Laraine Day, said today that he and Joan Myles, screen actress, would be married whenever he was free to do so.

Superior Judge Ingall W. Bull is to rule April 23 on whether Miss Day’s interlocutory divorce from Mr. Hendricks is to stand or be set aside because she eloped the day after the divorce was granted, ob- tained a Mexican divorce, and then married Leo Durocher, Brooklyn Dodgers manager, in El Paso, Tex.

Miss Myles was granted a divorce recently from Tommy Gleason, a musician. She has two children.

Appropriations (Continued From First Page.)

It would not prohibit Congress from appropriating more than the Treasury expects to take in for a

given year, but to do so would require approval by three-fifths of the membership of each branch.

If any Congress happened to ap- propriate more than the estimated revenues without such a vote, then the President would be required to eliminate the excess amount by cut- ting all appropriations except cer-

tain fixed obligations. The items exempt from such presi-

dential cutting would be interest on

the public debt, veterans' pensions and benefits and adjudicated claims against the Government.

CIO to Sue Hotel in Refusal To Serve Negroes at Parley

By the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 17.—Na-j tional CIO leaders said today they would bring suit against the Neil House under the Ohio civil rights statutes for alleged discrimination against colored delegates to a CIO education conference who said they were denied table service at the hotel’s coffee shop.

The suit was authorized at a "sit- in” demonstration staged yesterday in the coffee shop by 150 conference delegates. White and colored dele- gates occupied the coffee shop for eight and a Jialf hours in protest against the refusal of seven non- union white waitresses to serve

Negroes. Robert Penebaker, assistant

manager of the hotel, declared the hotel was in no way responsible for the action of the waitresses. He told newsmen it was "strictly a la-

bor situation so far as the hotel was concerned."

A group of CIO delegates, includ- ing several Negroes, who made the Neil House their headquarters dur- ing their four-day conference, walked into the hotel's coffee shop at 7:30 a.m. yesterday, Mr. Pene- backer said. He added that the waitresses, the only help available, walked off the job.

Jack Kroll, PAC director and head of the Ohio CIO Council, and Eu-

gene Cotton, assistant general coun-

sel of CIO, "pledged full support to j the national CIO in pressing the legal suit,” a statement issued by the CIO declared.

The conference was sponsored by the national CIO department of Research and Education to discuss the development of “more effective community relations problems of political action and how to fight discrimination.”

Gov. Duff to Gef Pay Appeal Of Pennsylvania Teachers

By the Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa„ Mar. 17.— Scores of Pennsylvania’s unionized teachers, representing educators from many sections of the State, will “march” on the capital today to support demands for higher salaries.

Mrs. Esther Soler, secretary of the CIO Philadelphia Teachers Union, said a 10-member commit- tee of the “marchers” would first discuss the pay increase proposals with Gov. James H. Duff, then meet in a State Legislature caucuS room

to discuss plans “to buttonhole each legislator individually to tell them what we want.”

The problem of increasing the teacher salaries is one of the chief issues confronting the 1947 General Assembly. Today's planned demon- stration was termed “a questionable approach” to the wrage question by State Representative D. Raymond Sollenberger, Blair County Repub- lican and chairman of the House Education Committee.

“I disagree with their methods and do not condone them,” Mr.

Sollenberger declared. A school teacher himself, he is coauthor of a bill to raise minimum teachers' salaries $1,000 annually from $1,-

;400 to $2,400.

'Rose Burglar' Arraigned; Judge Sefs Bond af $5,000

Richard Bennett Heck, 29, so-

called "rose burglar,” today was

ordered held in $5,000 bond for grand jury action on a housebreak- ing charge.

Heck was arraigned before Munici- pal Court Judge Ellen Raedy on a

charge that he broke into a restau- rant at 1232 Thirty-sixth street N.W. early Saturday. When arrest- ed on the premises by Pvt. Randall A. Honaker of No. 7 Precinct he had in his possession $37 which, it is charged, he took from the restau- rant.

The high bond was set on the recommendation of Assistant United States Attorney J. Warren Wilson, w'ho told the court three other housebreaking charges pending against Heck are to be presented direct to the grand jury.

Heck became known as the "rose burglar” several years ago because of his alleged practice of leaving a

rose at places he burglarized. He was sentenced to six years in 1938 for one of those burglaries.

Witness Says Stewart Often Got Anonymous funds for Magazine

The defense in the perjury trial of Douglas M. Stewart, former editor of Scribner's Commentator, offered testimony regarding his reputation for truth in District Court today.

The trial, in which the defendant is charged with stating falsely he found an anonymous donation of $15,000 to aid the magazine, entered its second week

Mrs. Rose Cour of Lake Geneva (Wis.), now a special society writer for the Chicago Tribune in her home town, testified Stewart's rep- utation for veracity is "excellent^- without question." She said that in 1941 she worked for Scribner's Commentator and that she was sec-

retary-treasurer of Lake Geneva Publications, Inc., publisher of the Herald, a promotion sheet for Scrib- ner's Commentator.

She knew funds had previously been received anonymously by the Commentator, she said.

About September 20, 1941, she tes- tified, she got a phone call from Stejvart, who said: "It's happened again."

She immediately thought of money, she declared, and when she

asked him ‘‘how much,” Stewart replied, ‘‘$15,000.”

Mrs. Cour said she and Stewart talked to numerous wealthy people at Lake Geneva, who were willing to advance money for the publica- tions and she explained that for business and social reasons, these people wanted to remain anony- mous.

Scribner’s Commentator was in no way a pro-German magazine, Mrs. Cour declared, adding it was for ‘‘100 per cent Americanism.”

The Government contends Baron Heribert von Strempel, first secre-

tary of the German Embassy here before Pearl Harbor, gave Stewart the money in New York. Stewart claims the $15,000 was left mysteri- ously by an unknown donor in the hallway of his Lake Geneva home.

Stewart was indicted on a charge of falsely testifying before the Dis- trict grand jury which returned the mass sedition indictment in 1943.

A defense attempt to get into evi- dence a letter, signed by Attorney General Clark, concerning the dis- missal of O. John Rogge from the Department of Justice failed when Chief Justice Laws sustained a Gov- ernment objection. Mr. Rogge, for- mer special assistant to the Attorney General, prosecuted the mass sedi- tion case.
