Army Dismisses Three
Of Ten Accusations
Against Major Alley
O
O
Fort Meade, Md. U.R The
wArmy today dropped three
q charges against Maj. Ronald E.
r, Alley, 34, as it opened trial of
the 14-year veteran accused of
G collaborating with the enemy
-while a prisoner in Korea.
The discarded charges includ
c ed allegations that Alley had pro
moted "disloyalty" among fel
low prisoners and voluntarily
ccepted instruction in Commu-
nift ideas to advance the enemy
cause.
C Chargtd on Seven Counts
The major remained charged
on seven other counts which in
Cluded giving the enemy infor
mation about the fire direction
of American artillery, urging
fellow POWs to give the Com
Gmunists military information, in
forming on fellow prisoners,
(leading propaganda discussion
groups, and writing propaganda
carticles for the enemy. x
Defense attorney Ford E.
r.-Young Jr. demanded dismissal
cof the case on grounds that the
charges amount to treason and
rJjhould be heard in a civilian
f'tourt -w
"The charges are ridiculous,"
iVoung said, "but if they must be
Jeard, the Constitution requires
cthat they be heard in a civilian
'tribunal, not by the military
Alley is the fourth' American
tofficer to be tried on collabora
ttion charges. Two others were
Gacquitted and one was dismissed
rfrom the service. Eight enlisted
men have been convicted of col
laboration.
'Gallagher Sentenced
The most recent case was that
c-ot Sgt. James C. Gallagher,
Brooklyn, who was sentenced to
oJife imprisonment in New York
CFriday for the murder of two
rfellow prisoners and other
('fcrimes while a Korean POW.
f ) In a complaint filed in Federal
Ucourt in Washington last week,
QUley contended:
?, The Army, in effect, is accus
ing him of "treason": the Con
stitution requires that treason
cbe tried in civil courts: and the
( Army's so-called "tough policy"
;ipn offenses committed in Korean
prison camps precludes a fair
trial.
The court has not yet acted
on the complaint. If the court
martial proceeds without inter
ruption, however, it is expected
to continue for several months.

Washington '(U.R) "Jim
mie" Pickel is one Marine who
isnt expected to do much fight
ing. As a matter of fact
"J i m m i e" is
just a nick
name and S.
Sgt. V i r g inia
Ann pickel is
very m u c h a
lady. If she
does any fight
ing at all, it is
merely to sass
the 100 men
who surround
her.
Harman Nichol "A c t ually,
she told me over lunch, "we get
along fine."
"Jimmie" is publicity director
of the United States Marine
band. It was quite a switch for
her when she took over the job
on the retirement of S. Sgt. Mar
gie Moore not long ago.
Not a Musician
The new press agents has
disinction no other person in the
service can claim in a compara'
ble job. She holds two college
degrees neither of which has
anything to do with music, al
though she had heard of the
treble clef when she took over.
"Oh." she said, "I used to dab
ble a little with the mandolin,
but I didn't get very far with
it."
At Temple university in Phila
delphia she majored in athletics
and . education, and came out
with a bachelor of science de
gree. Later she taught athletics,
such as basketball, lacrosse, ten
nis, track, hockey and other
sports.
A Master's Degree
That was after she got her
masters degree in education at
Northwestern university,
"Jimmie" was listening to the
radio one day in 1951 and heard
there was need for lady Marines.
So she joined up.
The oboe player, tuba boys
and bassoonists give her no trou
ble at all. It is not, of course, tier
job to teach the enlisted bands
men to tootle. That work is left
to Capt. Albert Schoepper, who
knows his music from "A" to
"G" including all of the combi
nations in flats and sharps.
"Jimmie" and the rest of the
Marines are proud of the sit
down or string band which is on
call at all times for concerts at
the White House and other
places. One of the sergeant's du
ties is-to run around to the news-

papers to let the word get out
that the stringers or the big
band are going .to play.
Russian Farmers
In Washington
Washington (U.R) The No
1 farmers of the United States
and Russia sat down together
today for the first time in his
tory to swap yarns about sur
pluses, shortages, and their
other troubles.
The occasion was an unprece-
ented meeting today between
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson and Vladimir. Vladimiro
vich Matskevich, first deputy
minister of Soviet agriculture,
A get-together like this would
have been unthinkable in the
old days of the cold war. But in
the present relaxed atmosphere
it's right in style. Besides, Mat
skevich is getting to be a pretty
familiar figure.
He's the head of the 12-man
delegation of Russian farm ex
perts who have been touring
American farm lands for the
last 44 days. The delegation came
into town Sunday night from
Los Angeles on the last leg of
their trip.
They'll get red-carpet treat
ment while they're here today
and Tuesday. Benson interrupted
a vacation to take personal
charge of the reception.
He met privately with Mat
skevich, arranged to see the
whole group immediately after
ward, and planned a lunch in
their honor later.
The delegation also will hold
a series of conferences with top
Agriculture Department experts
on everything from livestock
production to farm machinery,
They said they will sum up
their views on American farm
ing in an appearance before the
National Press Club Tuesday. In
Berlin Sunday, a group of Amer
ican farmers who have just
completed a tour of Russia re
ported that Russian farmers
have only the bare necessi
ties" of life but are content be
cause their lot is now better
than ever before.
