chart showing the chain of com

"I'm tired of this witness squirm

the prosecutor,. MaJ. Robert M.

his queries.

Rep. Cole (R-NY) today demand

that the 'navy had set up a pro
phylaxis station for enlisted men
in a Japanese house of prostitu
tion, i ij-
The New Yorker's request for
the investigation was made in a
letter to Chairman Vinson of the
house naval committee.
He based his request, on a let
ter, which a nSvy chaplain, Law
rence U Lacour, wrote from To
kyo and which was published in
several newspapers.
While the regulation of sexual
problems is inevitably difficult,'
Cole said in his letter to Vinson,
"It; is my view that the policy of
the navy; department to sponsor
officially a house of assignation is
neither pi keeping with the tradi
tional practices nor with Ameri
can sense of moral standards and
conduct,"

lrWeek Strilces
Start in Ward's
Eastern Stores
By the Associated Prea
The first of a possible series
of "demonstration'' work stop
pages affected operations of
Montgomery Ward & Co. in five
cities yesterday.
The union, which called on its
members to stage the one week
demonstration, termed it "a crip
pling strike" but the company re
ported all branches were operat
ing with less than 6000 off their
Jobs.
Samuel Wolchok, president of
the CIO United Retail, Wholesale
and Department Store Employes
of America, said the stoppage was
designed to "impress the average
man with Mr. (Sewell) Avery's
labor policy." Avery is board
chairman of the company, and
has rejected the union's proposal
or arbitration of wage demands
lidother issues. Wolchok said in
announcing the demonstration
that it "might be repeated from
time to time..'
Wolchok said the work stoppage
was 85 to 90 per cent effective in
Chicago, Albany and Trenton, N.
J. But he had not received reports
from Kansas City and Denver.
