floor for debate A standing vote of 168 to 22 accepted a procedure calling for nine hours of debate and unlimited attempts at amendments This was no test of the bill’s ultimate fate but if it had been the other way around the effect would have been to bar the bill Greek-Turk-is- resolutions on such varied subjects as displaced population in Europe labor bills reclamation public land voting records cf congressional delegates consumer cooperatives and valley authorities were adopted by the Utah Congress of Industrial Organizations Tuesday at the 11th annual convention in Newhouse hoteL The

because they are Republicans "If Sen Thomas (Elbert D Thomas Democrat) had the same voting record” he added “his name would be in the resolution” Lash Labor Bills Some 200 labor bills proposed at the current session of congress were condemned en masse in another resolution copies of which will be sent to the chairmen of the senate and house labor committees and members of the Utah congressional delegation Earlier there had been considerable discussion as to the policies of the Political Action committee A resolution proposing that P A committees be composed of representatives of nonpartisan groups seeking the same objectives was ruled out of order by the chair But the discussion made it plain that rejection of the resolution was rot an indorsement of partisan commitments All the delegates who spoke on the issue too the position that the P A C should seek to elect friend of labor regardless of party affliation Mr Palmer ruled the proposal out of order on the ground PAC policies were set at the national level and that decisions as to which groups the committees could best cooperate with would vary from county to county Urge Immigration A resolution recommending establishment of strong PAC committees in preparation for the municipal elections this fall was approved by the delegates The delegates voted approval of pendhrg legislation to admit as nonquota

the Pacific Mr FUeilmg took the position that this country should do Its full hare in solving the displaced population problem for humanitarian reasons And from a practical standpoint he argued it would be better to admit them so they can earn a living since they are now wards of United Nations and "Uncle Sam is footing the bills for U N” The resolution will be aent to Philip Murray CIO president for use as he sees fit Hit Interior Slash Other resolutions placed the organization on record as: L Strongly opposing any ban on lndustry-wad- e bargaining 2 Opposing cuts in reclamation

To Execution : VENICE Italy May 6 (UP) — Field Marshal Albert Kesselring who commanded a successful delaying campaign against combined British and American forces in Italy was sentenced Tuesday to die before a firing squad after being found guilty on two war crimes charges Kesselring 62 was found guilty of responsibility for the Ardeatine caves reprisal massacre of 335 Romans in March 1944 and for the reprisal deaths of 1073 Italians from June to August 1944 n A British tribunal returned a verdict of guilty at 9:50 am (Venice time) and immediately retired to consider a sentence which announced at 10:40 am It was read aloud by MaJ Gen E S Hakewell-Smit- h former commander of the British 52nd infantry division and head of the court Flushed Deep Red The stocky balding German general flushed a deep red when his guilt was pronounced by the court Otherwise he 'showed no emotion Kesselring was ordered to stand before the tribunal to hear both the verdict and the sentence He was flanked by two British military policemen He wore a trimly cut uniform with no Insignia His face was slightly distorted by the old scar which prompted his opponents to call him ‘‘Smiling Al” C L Stirling gowned and wlgged king's counsel and lay adviser to the tribunal said the sentence is subject to ratification on the part of superior authority Normally this would be Lt Gen Sir John Harding commander of British Mediterranean forces But in the previous trials of Kessel-ringsubordinates the death sentences were forwarded to the British imerial staff in London for final review Thus Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery may finally Judge Kesselring Taken to POIV Camp Kesselring was escorted to a police launch After crossing the Grand canal he was taken to a prisoner of war camp at Mestre on the mainland Italians In the tiny courtroom muttered “assas-sinas he was led out Kesselring’a trial opened Feb 10 The British said lt would be "about 10 days” but Kesselring fought for his life as stubbornly as he opposed the allied trio of Montgomery Field Marshal Sir Harold Alexander and Gen Mark W Clark He consistently maintained 20-mo- five-ma- w-a- s ’s ’’ his Innocence He admitted passing on the order In the nazi “chain of command” for the Ardeatine caves murders and he admitted ordering reprisal deaths of Italians But he insisted reprisals against enemy civilians — women children babes in arms — were

urgency’’ for aiding Greece and Turkey had been made “even more positive" by the recent Moscow conference of foreign ministers His opinion was read to the house by Chairman Charles A Eaton (R N J) of the foreign affairs committee as debate opened turbulently on the bill to bulwark the two southeastern European countries against communism Most Vital In Century Eaton himself referred to the bill as the most important piece of legislation to reach tjie floor in He called on his colleagues to accept resolutely the “great risks” of protecting Greece and Turkey from red totalitarianism Marshall wrote that the bill “would enable the United States in this crisis to support the United Nations by pursuing a positive policy in behalf of Greece and Turkey I am convinced that it will be in our own interest and in the Interest of world peace” He told the house that he had helped formulate the program before leaving for Moscow that he approved of amendments Inserted by the senate that he and Undersecy of State Dean Acheson “were in constant touch” during his absence and all moves were “fully coordinated” Notice of Strategy Foes of the bill early served notice of their strategy — based primarily upon an attempt to substitute a resolution to send the h issue to the United Nations Not until Wednesday at the earliest will a decision come — first on a series of amendments and substitute proposals then on the bill itself House Republicans obviously were split wide open On the Democratic side of the aisle there appeared less opposition Early in the preliminary skirmishing Rep Clarence Brown (R O) said that passage of the bill would "drive a dagger into the very heart of the United Nations” and called for a showdown See Page 5 Column 3 100-yea- rs LLMPS HOME DC-- 4 Aid Bill

on the makeup of the inquiry group The United States suggested a small committee of neutral nations minus the five great powers Argentina Differs Argentina proposed an committee including the five great pow'ers one member of the Arab states and the remainder geographically distributed around the globe This almost coincides with the Russian view in favor of a committee of 10 nations Including the five great powers The session was marked by the declaration of the Arab states that they felt the Palestine mandate was illegal that the Jewish agency for Palestine created under the mandate was illegal that the request of the Arab higher committee to be heard was shunted from the general assembly to the political committee while the Jewish agency request was handled by the full assembly ('p)

representatives debating the bill for aid to Greece and Turkey already has before it two important manifestations of the Truman doctrine's effect on world politics Through a chain of events obviously leading back to that policy communists are on the defensive in two countries — Italy and France — which must be held for western democracy if all of Europe is not to follow its eastern areas into the" communist fold Forced by De Gaulle French Premier Ramadier’s decision to oust the communist members of his cabinet apparently was forced by the De Gaullist effort to establish an anticommunist front crossing across all party lines The De Gaullists in turn were emboldened by the implied American promise to help those who will oppose the spread of communism Communist ‘strength raises doubt that a socialist government can last without them However it turns out Ramadier at least showed the people how France might align herself with the United States without accepting the extreme rightist program in toto might remove from the cabinet a group which made French policymaking an open book for Moscow and might get rid of a defense minister whose party was actively opposing the very policy he was charged with inforcing in France’s -- colonies Weakens Position Ramadier’s move was followed immediately by a serious weakening of the communist position in Italy Threatened with a cabinet overthrow which might cost them their three portfolios the Italian communists called off a projected strike of government workers and made conciliatory moves toward Premier De Gasperi There has been a growing belief that time is working for the Italian moderates and that the communists must make a move soon to take over the government or else lose their chance FATHER FOUR CHILDREN DIE IN COAST FIRE SANTA
