Grant Wilson
Backs Brothers
Courts Scores
VANCOUVER. Wash.. June 17
UP) The first degree murder
trial of the Wilson brothers for the
kidnap-slaying of Jo Ann Dewey re
sumed today, after a long defense
from another brother.
Grant Wilson, who spent most
of yesterday on the witness stand,
said that his brothers had been
harassed by police ever since 1948,
because of their past records
Utah Wilson, 20, and Turman
Wilson, 24, are charged with ab
ducting 18-year-old Jo Ann Dewev
last March 19.
Grant Wilson told the court that
his brothers fled the state after
Jo Ann's abduction, not because
they were connected with that af
fair,! but because of their general
fear of police.
Grant said the boys saw police
cars parked at their home, and
decided to go away. Utah Wilson,
Grant said, had taken a power saw,
and was afraid police would
charge him with theft and revoke
his parole.
Grant's testimony was frequently
interrupted by legal objections, be
cause of the odd fact that both
sides are using him for a witness.
Listed as a defense witness, he
was first called by the state, be
cause of his knowledge of Utah's
and Turman s flight. It was Grant
who told police where the boys
had gone, after Jo Ann's body
was found.

Jig-Saw Pattern
Of Soviet Spying
Seen In Arrests
WASHINGTON. June 17 UP)
With three American citizens under
arrest, additional pieces are falling
into place in the jig-saw pattern of
Soviet wartime spying in the United
Mates.
By all indications, further ar
rests are in of the offing, but when
and where they will come, no one
will say.
However, it is known that scores
of FBI agenta have spent many
months putting together bits of in
formation from all sorts of sources
in an effort to complete the picture.
What was perhaps the key piece
of the spy puzzle fell ino place
with the arrest in London last
February of Dr. Klaus Fuchs,
top British atomic scientist- De
tained by British intelligence on
information orginially developed
by the FBI, Fuchs admitted giv
ing the Russians atom secrets and
was sent to prison for 14 years.
After top G-men had interviewed
Fuchs in prison last month, the
bureau closed in on Harry Gold
39-year-old Philadelphia chemist,
vho had long been under FBI
watch. Gold admitted acting as
courier between Fuchs and Soviet
agents In this country during the
war.
With the pattern taking shape
the FBI this week picked up Al
fred Dean Slack, 44, Chemist em
ployed by a plant manufacturing
concern at Syracuse, N. Y., and
David Grcenglass, 28, former U.
S. army sergeant, of New York
city.
Each of the three Americans Is
charged with wartime espionage,
which carries a possible death pen
alty. Each is held on $100,000 bond.
Mayor Dislikes
Flight Planned
Next Saturday
BALTIMORE, June H-JJP) All
his life flying has been "strictly
for the birds in Mayor Omas D
Alesandro's book.
He's avoided it as hard as he's
worked for election first as con
gressman then mayor of Baltimore.
But today he confessed he'll have
to go up for the first time next
Saturday. The President of the
United States has adked him to fly
wiui nun irum wasnington 10 aeui
cation of the Friendship Interna
tional Airport south of Baltimore
It's a trip of may be 26 miles.
"This time 1 got to go," wailed
the rotund mayor.
"The President invited me. It's
a challenge. I got to go."
Mayor D'Alesandro really is
sweating it out.
"Maybe I d better make a rec
ord of my speech in case I can't
talk when I get off the plane.
I'll be glad when it's over. I've
got a bin family."
He recalled how several times
he had avoided flying.
When Truman was vice-president
he invited congressman D'Alesan
dro to ride to Baltimore in a plane.
I substituted Fallon, another
Maryland congressman.
He was supposed to fly to burope
with a congressional committee in
vestigating UNRRA. He took his
immunization shots ana got his
passport. He bad a farewell party.
He said goodbye to his family and
went to Washington to meet tne
other congressmen.
"I bought a paper and the head
line said: 'Plane hits the Empire
State Building.' The other congress
men and I got on the train to go
to New York and catch the plane
for Europe. I stepped off in Balti
more and told them I was too busy
to make the trip."
Hoover Criticizes
Deficit Spending
CHICAGO. June 17-.P) Financ
ing government deficits by borrow
ing, if continued long enough, has
only one end inflation says Her
bert Hoover.
The former Republican presi
dent spoke last night before some
4.000 members of the U. S. Junior
Chamber of Commerce at a ban
quet at navy pier. His speech was
one of the highlights of the group's
30th annual convention here this
week.
Hoover addressed the Jaycees on
a subject they requested the rela
tion of government expenditures
deficits and taxes, to jobs and to
national life.
"Today we are blessed with
some kind of prosperity," he said.
"Whatever kind it is, we all want
stability without inflation. We want
a system, that finds jobs for
1,000,000 new workers each year."
But, Hoover said, "a new round
of inflation is now appearing in
direct or indirect wage and salary
increases and rising commodity
prices."
"If we keep on this road," he
added, "we are certain to reach
the President's ideal of $4,000 a
year to every family. But it will
not have $4,000 purchasing power.
10 tnis question ot lurtncr gov
ernment borrowing to. meet def
icits, my answer is that it is the
road to disaster for every cottage
in tne land."

Little Hope Remains
For Buried Miners
CADOMIN, Alta., June 17 (CP)
Two mechanical mud muckers
and sweating crews of rescue work
era today continued a battle against
time to open up the coal-mine tomb
of five trapped miners.
But little hope was held that the
men, imprisoned more than two
days, would be found alive. Discov
ery yesterday of a broken head
lamp and the severed leg of a man
seemed to indicate that the dig
gers were coming close. .
The mud muckers, pressed into
service yesterday, speeded up the
job of moving tons of debris from
a tunnel 270 feet below the sur
face. ; . . . -
President's Veto
Of Basing Point
Bill Draws Fire
WASHINGTON. June 17. (IP)
President Truman's veto of the
hard-fought basing point bill set
off sharp repercussions today
which well may echo during the
November congressional elections.
The 1.600-word veto message Mr.
Truman sent to Congress yesterday
was viewed in some quarters as a
sharp setback for assistant Senate
Democratic Leader Myers of Penn
sylvania and a pat on the back for
two administration-minded south
erners, Senators Long (D-La) and
Hill (D-La).
Mvers. who wanted the bill ap-
oroved. faces a tough fight for re
election in his highly-industrialized
state. Long and Hill, also up for
re-election, had opposed the bill,
which would have allowed business
men to absorb freight costs in quot
ing delivered prices on their
products.
The veto also was viewed as an
other victory for Senator Douglas
(D-IU), who fought the bill as hard
as he did the Kerr natural gas bill,
which the President also vetoed.
Douglas claimed both measures
were "monopolistic."
There was general agreement
among proponents of basing point
that they lack sufficient votes to
override the veto.
Defense Chiefs
Set Japan Talks
TOKYO, June 17 UP) Two top
U.S. defense chiefs arrived tonight
for talks with General MacArlhur
which may break the logjam hold
ing up a peace treaty with Japan.
Secretary of Defense Johnson
and Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chair
man of the joint chiefs of staff,
flew in from Manila, where they
had discussed defense problems
with U.S. military chiefs.
The talks with MacArthur, be
ginning next week, may decide
on what basis the United States
may hold military bases in Japan
as protection against the march of
Communism.

DP Commission
Plans New Offices
WASHINGTON, June 17 UP)
The displaced persons commission
is planning several additional
branch offices abroad to take care
of a new influx of European war
refugees.
President Truman yesterday
signed legislation raising by 136.-
