Cite Lawyer
For Contempt
New York, Sept. 14 Fed
eral Judge Harold R. Medina to
day held a defense lawyer in
contempt of court for the first
time since the conspiracy trial
of 11 top communists began.
The lawyer cited was George
W. Crockett, Jr., a Negro, of De
troit.
Five defendants previously
have been Jailed for contempt
and Medina has threatened to
take action against various de
fcnse lawyers after the trial
ends.
No immediate sentence was
pronounced against Crockett.
What led to the Judge's crack
down on Crockett was this:
The government sought to
place in evidence a Los Angeles
birth certificate issued after the
birth of a daughter to the wife
of Carl Winter. Winter is one of
the defendants.
Defense lawyers objected to
the whole certificate's being
placed in evidence. The prosecu
tion agreed that only parts of it
would be put into the record.
Medina then read from the
certificate Winter's name, age,
period of residence in California,
birthplace and occupation.
Crockett interposed: "In view
of your honor s seemingly unin
tentional readin "
Medina paled as he told
Crockett the statement was one
of the most contemptuous he had
ever heard.
"I now adjudge you in con
tempt for that," he said.
Before the incident, Winter
admitted under cross-examination
that he might have used the
name Carl Weisberg as late as
1932.

Probe Income Taxes
Chicago, Sept. 14 (P) Uncle
Sam is making a house to house

Greek Attack on
Albania Looms
Athens, Sept. 14 (IP) Greece
will invade Albania "in self de
fense" if any new attacks are
launched by communist gueril
las from the Albanian side, a re
sponsible Greek source said yes
terday. He said his country would no
tify the United Nations of its
plan of action at the coming
U.N. general assembly. The
source, a ranking delegate to the
assembly, said Greece had de
cided on this action to put an
end to the guerilla threat on
the Greek-Albanian border.
The delegate said the general
assembly would be told Greece
will invoke article 51 of the U.N.
charter If there are any future
guerilla attacks from the Al
banian side. The articles sustains
the right of self-defense if an
armed attack occurs against a U.
N. member.
Recently there has been an al

While Greek leaders realize
that an invasion of Albania
might be the spark to touch ofl
a third world war, if Ru.-l in

Athens that the Soviet Union
would not risk a war by inter

Chinese Reds
In Pincer Drive
Canton. China, Sept. 14 (U.B)
Ten Chinese communist armies
today pushed a giant pincer
movement through West Hunan
and South Kiangsi provinces
which appeared to be aimed at
nationalists forces around Heng
yang, 265 miles north of Can
ton.
An official military spokesman
confirmed that four communist
armies had struck out to the west
and southwest of Changteh in
the direction of Shaoyang.
The move appeared to be aim
ed at making nationalist Gen.
Pai Chung-Hsi move west from
Xcngyang in an attempt to cut
off the Reds of face the pros
pect of being isolated from the
south.
In South Kiangsi, six commu
nist armies continued westward
toward Chenhsien and Ichang,
apparently for the same purpose
to force Gen. Pai to fight or
risk isolation.
Despite the fact that practical
ly all the communist troops in
Hunan and Kiangsi were on the
move, nationalist officials assert
ed that available nationalist
forces were capable of holding
the communists out of Kwang
tung province.

Immediate action upon a pro
posed landing strip for light
planes on the beach at Netarts
is sought of the state board of
aeronautics by the Portland
aviation commission. Request
for the trip has been approved
by the state highway depart
ment.
The campaign for permission
to land on the beach at Netarts

Jurisdiction over all beaches, to
set aside other beach landing
strips wherever the public will

becomes a reality.
