With money made available by

llegendary Wormsloe Plantation. |
The Deßenne Library aolds the

Almost every phase of early

About 50 automobiles, several
thousands of dollars in military
scrip and forbidden American
and English money, as well as
hundreds of thousands of Ger
man marks were seized during
the dawn raid, carried out by 100
Army military policemen and 25
agents of the Army’s criminal in
vestigation division.
No resistance was encountered
and no violence was observed by
news correspondents permitted to
watch the raid.
Admittedly reluctant to move
against the long-suspected camp
because of possible criticism or
complaints of anti - Semitism,
Army officials took careful pre
cautions to avoid trouble, includ
ing the barring of German police
from the vicinity and issuance of
strict orders to the raiders not to
manhandle camp occupants or en
ter any buildings forcibly.
Ringleader Nabbed
Among those arrested was the
alleged ringleader of a group
which recently drove off military
police trying to seize some auto
mobiles believed to have been
stolen. He had escaped only a few
days ago from a Frankfurt jail.
Most of those arrested had no
identity papers and were not
listed on the camp records, Con
nolly :said.
Jacob Zylbertal, UNRRA direc
tor of the camp, estimated the
.camp’s authorized population of
3,50¢ had been swollen by “sev
eral hundred infiltrees” of whomn
fbere WAL POFUOL. o
"~ Military police said they staged
| the raid after receiving reports
that many varieties of food were
being sold at sidewalk booths in
the camp at black market prices
—such as oranges at 100 marks
each ($lO at the legal rate of ex
change).
1 They said they also had been
informed that “operators” in the
'secret camp had dealt extensively
in automobiles,.some built with
secret compartments for carrying
contraband cigarettes to ‘Cologne
and other German cities.

STRATEGY FOR 48:
THUMBNAIL LEGISLATIVE PLAN
GAINS FAVOR IN GOP CIRGLES
WASHINGTON, Nov., 14 —
(AP) — A thumbnai] legislative
program gained favor among
Republicans today as Senate and
House GOP steering committees
met for taeir first crack at or
ganizing the new Congress.
Al] signs, however, pointed to
a long delay in resolving leader
ship questions, particularly since
the House struggle still is raging
unabated against a backdrop of
1948 presidential politics.
Assembling for separate meet
ings, the 20 representatives and
eight Senators who make up the
program planning groups weve
expected to discuss a wide field
of prospective legislation in their
new role as strategists for the
majority party.
Senate Wallace White of
Maine, who may become majori
ty floor leader in ‘his chamber,
told a reporter he is urging his
colleagues to center their fire on
a few major issues.
I Party Platform
| «] don’t think we ought to try
{o write a party platform such
as might be produced by a Na
tiona] Convention,” he said. “We
'oug‘ht to say what we want to
‘do about a half dozen major is
sues and not spread our efforts
all over the lot. We ‘ought to
make promises thdt we can carry
out and then see that they are
fulfilled.”
Support for White’s view came
from Senator Ball (R-Minn)
who suggested that the Repub
licans might concentrate on three
subjects — labor legislation, es
tablishment of ,W%L,Mg;&d a
“gound” fisca] policy and %ae re
moval of wartime government
controls. i

TRIESTE STRUGGLE TO TEST NEW
ATTITUDES OF BG FOUR GOUNCIL
. NEW YORK, Nov. 14—(AP)—A
first-class struggle over the issue
of who should rule the proposed
free city of Trieste appeared ';er-‘
tain today to put to extreme test
‘the mildly conciliatory attitude
| which has grown up in the Foreign
‘Ministers €ouncil between fix, 8
‘and the Western powers. %
Secretary of State Byrnes and
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
already were conffonted with 14
Russian demands for changes in a
Paris peace conference decision
that would vest wide powers in a
governor responsible to the Unit-i
ed Nations Security Council. |
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov,
assailing the Paris plan as unde
mocratic, insisted on limiting the
governor’s power and shifting
more authority into the hands of
a popularly elected assembly and
a council of government respon
sible to it.
Molotov declared his amend
ments to be a “minimum essen
tial” of change and when last
night’s Big-Four session ended |
after three hours of argument his
list of amendments, totaling 14,
was still incomplete.
Meanwhile Byrnes, Bevin and
Deputy Foreign Minister Coyve de
Murville were studying their own
next moves, evidently to deter
Ball is working on'several la~
bo» bills, including a measure to
out-law the closed shop.
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich)
expected to become the Senate's
new presiding officer, is likely to
renew proposals for a joint Sen
ate - House committee inquiry
into the possible broadening of
Socia] Security coverage.
Steering Group
Senator Taft of Ohio, Steering
Committee Chairman, may want
the Republicans to go on record
for healta and housing legisla
tion he ‘has sponsored in coop
eration with Democrats in for
mer congresses.
On -the leadership issue, the
final decision in the Senate ap
peared to fiinge on whether Taft
wants the floor leader’s jop or
will be content to let it go to
White while he keeps hig grip
on the Steering Committee helm.
The bitter fight in the House
revolves around a successor as
floor leader to Rep. Joseph W.
Martin, .ir., of Massachusetts,
who is slated to become speaker.
Two representatives, Charles
A. Halleck of Indiana and Thom
as Jenkins of Ohio, are avowed
candidates for the post. while
friends of a third, Clarence
Brown of Ohio, are working
avidly in his behalf. 5
~ Most observers view the con
test as primarily a Halleck-
Brown battle. Supporters of each
contend privately that the issue
jactually has developed into a
}“mm movement.

mine which, if any, of Molotov's
points they might accept.
Western power diplomats,noting
that the Russians had raised much
the same arguments at. Paris, fore
saw a, str%ng Anglo-American-
French stand for powers which
would enable the gov rmor to take

necessary to declare a state of
siege.
The Western powers likewise
were reported strongly opposed to
fixing any deadline for the with
drawal of troops from Trieste.
On another point, Molotov
argued that the Big Four Foreign
Ministers should retain direct
authority for setting up a transi
tional government in the Trieste
territory, while Bevin and Byrnes
held that, as decided at Paris, the
Security Council should have this
task from the first.
Soviet Amendments
Molotov began laying down his
amendment last night after pre
viously agreeing to a Byrnes pro
posal that the foreign ministers
themselves should go over the
Paris-drawn statute paragraph by
paragraph rather than farm it out
to their .subordinates. |
Bevin and Byrnes held their
fire, for the most part, explaining'
that they preferred to get an over
all picture of the Russian program
before they expressed themselves
on its individual points. l
Today’s 'session begins at 4 p.

Tomorrow, Lewis may serve

the government contract in five

would lead to a walkout of his

not work without a cont-act.
While Lewis kept silent, the
;operators told Krug they were
willing to meet with the miners’
‘boss in an effort to avoid a new
strike. ;
Krug was repo-ted to be seek
ing a commitment from Lewig to
keep the minhers working — say
for a 60-day period — until
agreement can be reached on a

day with acting Chairman Rank
in (D-Miss) declaring he will
seek to have Dr. Harlow Shap

Dr. Sharpley countered througts

Rankin told reporters Dr.

The Harvard professor started
to read a prepared statement
and began tearing off some pen
cileg notes he had written on
the bottom of one sheet, Eliot
said. At that point, he went on,
Rankin snatched the paper from
Shapley’s %and.
Shapley then left the room,
