Supreme court of the U. S. by a 6 :
to 2 decision upheld the legality f
of the trials by an American army
commission in the Philippines to es-
tablish a judicial precedent. 1
Concerning itself only with the
jurisdictional question, the high
tribunal pointed out that congress 1
has sanctioned trials of enemy ali- 1
'ens by military commissions for of- I
fenses against the laws of war, and ;
Japan agreed to such proceedings
in the Potsdam declaration.
In dissenting with the majority
opinion, Justice Rutledge declared
that to hold any individual was out- I
side the protection of the fifth
amendment requiring full indict-
ments and judicial trials set a dan-
gerous example. Justice Murphy
warned that the proceedings might
be used against some futuie Presi-
dent and his military heads.
INDUSTRIAL FRONT: :
New Policy ;
Even as Republicans and conse’W- I
ative Democrats pushed stringent |
labor legislation in the midst of ex- ■
tended strikes, the administration
was evolving a reconversion V’age-
price formula designed to encour-
age employers to raise postwar pay.
The conservative bloc held
full sway in considering restric-
tive labor legislation in the
house, beating down efforts of |
11 dSnM,lc mod^ates t0 I
of the Case bill setting up' u
mediation board to study indus-
trial disputes; prohibit strikes
or lockouts for 30 days; outlaw
violence in picketing and boy-
cotts and make both parties
liable for contract violations.
In holding fast their ranks, the
conservatives turned down amend-
ments to substitute temporary fact-
finding panels for the mediation
board; kill the ban against sympa-
thy st; ikes and boycotts, and re-
move all provisions of the Case bill
and make it merely a declaration
of policy.
Modification of the adminis-
tration’s wage-price policy rep-
resented a compromise between
Reconversion Director Snyder's
stand for a flexible formula to
relieve industry of any squeeze
between higher pay and OFA
ceilings and OPAdminisirator
Bowles' strong fight for a re-
tention of rigid regulation to
prevent an inflationary spiral.
OVERSEAS RELIEF:
Supnlies Tight*
With the U. S.. Canada, Australia
and Argentina able to supply only
12 million of 17 million tons of
wheat needed by European nations,
administration officials sought to
assure America’s fulfillment of its
commitments for 6 million tons of
the deliveries in the face of a grow-
ing grain stringency in this country.

we could not afford to permit hun-
ger and starvation to thwart our
victory in the postwar period. Un-

In the hottest hearing since con-
sideration of Edward J. Flynn as
minister to Australia, Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and f
distant Attorney General
charged Pauley with attempting to
nfluence them into having the gov- ,
eminent drop its suit for jurisdiction

three miles beyond shore and leave

UNO:
Use Veto
With Russia’s use of the powerful
veto power in the United Nations
Organization’s security council to
prevent clearance of Britain of Red
charges of imperilling the peace of
the world, Big Three unanimity was
broken for the first time in UNO.
Cast by Andrei Vishinsky, the
veto climaxed a bitter exchange be-
tween the Red representative and
British Delegate Ernest Bevin,
growing from Russia’s request to
the security council to investigate
the presence of British troops in
Greece and Indonesia. Answering
Vishinsky’s charges that the Tom-
mies’ protection of rightist inter-
ests in Greece threatened peace,
Bevin declared that the communists
ivere conducting a widespread pixop-
Uganda campaign against the Brit-
ish.
The break in unity came when
Bevin demanded that 1he security
council clear Britain of the Russian
charge and Vishinsky insisted on
adoption of a resolution which would
*iave placed Britain in the position
of indirectly admitting forcible oc-
cupation of Greece. When Vishin-
sky was overruled and the dele-
gates prepared to vote to clear Brit-
ain, the Red representative made
nis veto.
RM»iWani.i«iiir mini tin
While UNO delegates continued in
their first session in London, the or-
ganization’s site committee conclud-
ed an exhaustive study by recom-
mending the establishment of per-
manent headquarters along the New
York-Connecticut border just above
Long Island Sound.
To include a 59 square mile site
(or primary facilities, plans were
revealed for an extension up to 140
square miles. Known as an enclave,
the site would legally be consid-
ered as a tract or territory within
the U. S.
A combination of rolling farm
lands and exclusive residential
property, the area involved includes
a population of 12 500 and may be
purchased for about 30 million dol-
lars by UNO through treaty. Though
UNO discussed buying the land for
from $600 to $CG0 an acre, residents
of some townships protested against
sale on grounds that the purchase
was too extensive. >
GERMANY:
industrial Pattern
As American, British, Russian and
French experts toiled over the re-
vamping of the postwar German
economy to eliminate the reich's fu-
ture war-making potentialities, the
general pattern of reconstruction
emerged, with the nation committed
to light industry and agriculture.
Terms already drawn by the Big
Four call for the abolition of such
prewar German industries as syn-
thetic gas, rubber, ammonia, pri-
mary aluminum and magnesium,
ball and taper bearings, certain war
chemicals, heavy farm tractors and
machine tools, aircraft, ship build-
ing and munitions. In eliminating
these industries, however, provi-
sion was made for relaxation of
some restrictions to facilitate ex-
ports to pay for imports.
In recognizing that Germany
would have to make substantial im-
ports, particularly in food, to bal-
ance her postwar economy, the
Big Four have agreed on such ex-
ports as coal, coke, leather goods,
beers, wines, toys, musical instru-
ments. textiles and apparels.
WAR CRIMES:
O. K. Trials
In rejecting Gen. Tomoyuki
Yamashita’s appeal of his convic-
tion to hang as a war criminal, the
•ights oil men if the suit were
iropped and Littell testified that
^auley had informed him that he
lad raised money for the 1940 presi-
lential race from such interests and
.hey expected to be rewarded.
While tidewater oil figured promi-
lently in the hearings, Max Thorn-
>urg, former petroleum adviser to
he state department, charged that
3auley had tried to push through a
>cfinery project in Mexico on ex-
cessively favorable terms Thorn-
jurg also said that Pauley sought
o sell a tanker to Mexico during
he critical period of 1941, stating
*ie would remit his share of the pro-
ceeds to the Democratic committee.
Having vigorously denied all al-
egations. Pauley was particularly
rked by Thornburg’s tanker testi-
mony. roaring: “This is a dirty, de-
liberate, premeditated lie. Anyone
who would say I did that is a liar,
\rET ADMINISTRATION:
Under Fire
Though President Truman and
other veterans groups gave their
full support to Gen Omar Bradley’s
Veterans’ Administration, Com-
■ mander John Stclle of the American
f I Legion declared his organization
would press its fight against the VA
to cut the red tape hampering its
service and speed up G.I. care.
In rapping the VA, Stelle charged
that the VA was far behind in ad-
ministering vet affairs, citing a
