U. S. Attorney John F. X, Mc- Gohey is expected to finish sum=- ming up the prosecution’s case to day. Then Federal Judge Harold R.' Medina will deliver his eharge to the jury, after which the eight women and four men will retire to consider their verdict. The immediate issue is whether the 11 top Red leaders on trial are guilty of charges that they con spired to advocate forcible over throw of the government. But the case also has wider im plications ‘involving the future status of the Communist Party in this country. The defendants have maintained that conviction would be tanta mount to outlawing the party and making illegal the activities of its other leaders and members. Maximum Penalty If the 11 are found guilty, they face a maximum penalty of 10 vears in prison and a SIO,OOO fine each. The historic trial, the first of its kind directed at American Communism, has been in progress for nine months. ’ Tense silence settled over the courtroom yesterday as MeGohey, the tall, dignified, white-haired prosecutor, began his summation. He spoke in a strong, grave voice, without courtroom foren slCS. “Ours is a government of laws rather than a government of men,” he said. “It is at once self-evident that such a government not mere ly has the right, but the duty to safeguard its institutions: of lib erty against destruction from within, as well as from without.” The prosecutor traced the his tory of the Communists in thlsl country: ‘ Reorganization i He laid stress on the party’s re organization in 1945 when, the government charges, the party re newed its teaching of violence aft er a one-year interval of less militant activity. He assailed testimony by de "(fr.»dants denying they advocate violence and claiming they only seek reform through peaceful means as a legitimate political party, “Every one of them, without ex ception,” McGohey said, “has been demonstrated to be unworthy of belief. They were shown to have sworn falsely on many prior oc casions,” Provisions in the Communist party’s 1845 constitution pledging allegiance to American democracy mean nothing, McGohey said, be- Cause these pledges were written n “Aesopian language.” “In our American language,” the brosecutor said, “we call ‘Aesopian language’ double talk, tricky E)hé‘ases and high-sounding plati- ‘ tudes.” $ McGohey said the evidence am- Dly proves that the 11 defendants, as members of the party’s national board, were themselves responsi ble for the slleged conspiracy.

Mi e Down New Contract Bid Talks Continue As Strike Enters 25th Day; No Steel Peace Sighted PITTSBURGH, Oct. 13.—(AP)—Government-prodded negotiations to end the 25-day-old coal strike continued today — despite another blunt refusal from the United Mine Workers to renew their contract for two years. UMW Vice-President Thomas Kennedy says the union is willing to “continue in these meetings until we get a con tract.” # There’s no sign .of collective bargaining in the strike of 450,000 CIOQ United Steelworkers. Federal negotiators aiso renew ed their efforts today to get Steelworkers President Philip Murray and industry leaders back at the bargaining table. Cyrus S. Ching, U. &. concilia tion director, head for New York to talk with officials ot Bethle hem Steel Corporation. BULLETIN WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. VA, Oct. 13.—(AP)—John L. Lewis disclosed today that his contract demands on soft coal operators would cost 30 to 35 cents a ton more than now. He said the industry could ab sorb it out of profits. Ching is setting -up similar meetings with U. S. Steel Corpor tion and other top steel producers. Then, he hopes to talk to Murray.

Humphrey said the only argu=« ment against him is that “he has some kind of fishy background” and that he had “the guts to stand up in the 1920's and say he didn’t like the plundering of the stock : market.” Aiken said Olds’ misfortune was that he had earned “the undying enmity” of utility interests.

He denounced the new East German government as ‘“‘subser vient” and controlled by Moscow=- directed Communists. Further more, Acheson pledged continued full support from the United States, Britain and France for the West German Republic which, he said, “in sharp confrast has a thoroughly constitutional and pop ular basis.” He noted that in the Soviet Zone elections are reported postponed for a year, and declared that “the new government and its Soviet masters are obviously afraid to risk the verdict of the people of the Soviet Zone.” He added: “Under these circumstances, it is perfectly evident that all of the high-sounding talk about a peace treaty, an end to the state of war, and the withdrawal of occupation troops will be developed solely for its propaganda appeal to the Ger= man people. “As long as an autocratic Com munist regime remains fastened upon the people of Eastern Ger=- many and carries out Soviet poli cies under the protection of a large militarized Communist police force, it would be meaningless to speak of a peace treaty, or an end of the state of war, or withdrawal of Soviet troops. “The United State government and the governments associated with it will not in any way be deceived or diverted from their course of action by the events which have taken place at Berlin. and will continue to give full sup port to the government of the ‘"Thompson ! .

Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of the House Armed Servi ces Committee accused Secretary of Defense Johnson of “grandstand” economizing in Navy funds and said the committee ‘“is going to have a lot to say about this.” Rep. Bates (R.-Mass.), a com mittee member, expressed strong hope that the hearings intc de fense policy will cause the junk ing of Johnson’s bitterly-disputed decision to halt construction on a Navy super-carrier, As these storm warnings were raised on Capitol Hill, the Navy arrayed the last of its top brass before the committee to wind up its case against what it terms an “unbalanced” defense policy too heavily weighted in favor of stra tegic bombing and the B-36, BULLETIN WASHINGTON, Oct, 13.— (AP) — Fleet Admiral Chester W, Nimitz advised Congress to day that America’s battle plans must assume “we will be less ready for war at its outbreak” than Russia. Nimitz did mot mention Rus sia by name in a statement sent to the House Armed Services Committee. But there was no mistaking what nation he had in mind in speaking of “our probable opponent” in event of war. Topping the Navy witness list were Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nim itz, wartime Pacific Commander in Chief; Adm. R. A. Spruance, Pacific Task Force Commander; Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, Chief of Naval Operations; and Adm. Louis De Florez, top Navy researcher, First, however, Vinson ordered Adm.

Carney is a Deputy Chief of Naval operations, and also chair man of the Joint Chief of Staff budget advisory committee. The appropriation in which the cuts were made is still awaiting a House-Senate decision over the size of the Air Force. Apparently, Vinson declared, Johnson decided, “without any notice to the committee,” that the armed services needed less than they said they needed.
